❤Such a lovely story about your parents loving to see this beautiful place!
You two are magical taking us along with you to such mesmerizing places in France!🎉❤ A dream.
Thank you (for playing close attention) ! 🤩
Thanks a HUGE LOT! MERCI BEAUCOUP! GRAZIE! BEST DOC I HAVE SEEN OF CAP FERRAT!
Thank you very much!!! 😊😊😊
You are welcome!
really appreciate all of your videos for my upcoming trip. merci!
Great, thanks! 🤩 Enjoy your trip!
We are coming to Antibes soon and I have enjoyed your videos so much! So informative - merci!
Thank you very much! Have fun on the Riviera! 🤩
Love your videos. I am in Nice on vacation and they definitely are the most informative of all.
I was unsure of what to do today until I watched this video last night, then I decided to spend the day at Saint Jean Cap Ferrat.
So that’s where I am right now, having lunch at The Cadillac, after taking the hike #1 and going to the Rotschild Palace. Wonderful day! Thank you both, Anja & Aila! ❤
No way, that’s awesome!!! 🤩 Thanks for sharing - and enjoy the rest of your stay!!! 😄😄😄
I love your French language fluency!🤗👍
We try! 😅
Absolutely beautiful place, would love to go there.
I love this area, nice Mountains and views to the isles
Wow! I did a trip to Cap Ferrat earlier this year and also went to the amazing Villa Rothschild, I have to go back !!
😄👍
Thank you. Your videos are definitely one of the most useful ones for planning travels in the area. thank you
Thank you very much, happy to hear that 😄
Hi a new subscriber here.I want to thank you for your informative video keep the good work
🤩 thank you!!! We‘ll try our best
Very informative. Thank you
We are happy that you liked it! Is there anything else you like to know about the French Riviera?
@@rivierago oh yes lots in fact since we are visiting Nice in May end:)
1. Is a trip to Verdon gorge and lavender fields worth it? Will we see lavenders blooming in may end?
2. How to manage Monaco visit during F1 GP that weekend. We wanted to visit the Palace and the casino mainly but will the buses be plying with road restrictions? Even if we walk would they allow us to visit the casino.
Thanks
Hi, sorry for our late reply, somehow we missed your comment ! Next week we’ll go to The Gorges du Verdon and the lavender fields that are just starting to bloom! 🤩
And for the GP it’s too late now, we hope everything worked out for you! You’re definitely able to get to Monaco by train during that time of year, but the buses will have to take different routes during the race days (Thursday-Sunday). But life goes on, so tourists should be able to see things - just not where the race goes on. If you don’t want to see the GP we highly recommend to pick another time to go to Monaco 😇
@@rivierago hey no problem. Yes we had an amazing time in the French Riviera. Your channel helped a lot so a big thank you. We skipped Monaco due to the hordes of people and erratic train schedule instead went to Menton which was beautiful
@@chiragganguly 😅 glad to read and wise decision to skip MC that time 😄
I love all the ideas for our trip to Nice this summer!
Its great to read that you find our recommendations useful. Is there anything else you like to know more about?
hi! Your videos are so helpful and have great tips! I would like to know what's the best way (taxi/bus/train) from Nice to Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild? The most convenient route and timing among the three ways? Also I plan to go to Villfranche Sur Mer after the Villa. Which would be the best way to get there using taxi/train from the Villa?
Hi Anna! From Nice it’s easiest to take the train to Beaulieu-sur-Mer and from there, bus no. 15 takes you pretty much directly to Villa Rothschild. There’s also a bus from Nice. And there should be a bus afterwards going towards Villefranche. It’s not THAT far away, really, you might even be able to walk…
But check out the app Moovit - set to Côte d’Azur - it’s great for getting around in public transport. Enjoy your trip!!! 😄
And how do you like that?: czcams.com/video/I7aAY-KbXtA/video.html
@@rivierago thanks again! Do you know the website for the train schedule and bus schedule from NIce to Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild? And from the Villa to Vilfranche Sur Mer? I just want to coordinate the timing from place to place so I can plan ahead. Thanks again!!
Please check in the description of the film. For local trains you have to check the website SNCF TER, for busses it‘s easiest to use the app Moovit (set to Côte d’Azur) to find your connections, since there are different bus companies.
👍🏻
Beautiful nice and good video , though sometimes too fast , never mind 😁
Thanks for your sweet comment! We‘re hesitant between taking enough time to show more beautiful pictures and explain more - and not taking too much time to keep people sticking around through most of our videos… still experimenting 😇. So thanks for the input! 😊
@@rivierago , are you siblings ?
Sorry, we missed your reply… no, we’re not siblings, “just” friends. Have been for 17 years now 😄
@@rivierago , never mind 😀
Looks like links for start of hike 2 and 3 are the same?
You’re right! We’re sorry, it should be ok now! Thanks for being so observant 🤩
@@rivierago Will be there in a few weeks and look forward to these hikes. Thank you for your videos!
@@lisabaratta4184 cool, enjoy!!! 👍😊
Looks lovely.. are you interested in art at all? It'd be great to see some.
Hi, yes we are! But hardly anybody wanted to see the film about Picasso, Chagall, Léger that we published last week… disappointing 🤪, so we might not do another one too soon. Would you be interested in something specific?
@@rivierago I've recently discovered your channel so haven't seen the film you mention yet. It's often said that artists are attracted to the south of France, whilst historically true, it may be interesting to see some current artists out drawing or painting, maybe a visit to their studios.. unless they are too elusive! Personally, I find it interesting how people live, and generally what life is like in what looks like a great part of the world.
may i know, the villa is free admission?
No, the entrance fee for the Villa Ephrussi it’s 17€ for an adult (2024)
If I am staying in Nice, what is the best way to get to Cap Ferrat?
Is it easy to get to by car? My husband and I are renting a car!
Hi! Yes, it’s really easy by car, maybe a 20 minute ride. Please check the other comments and replies as well as the description below the film for info on public transport. Enjoy your visit! 😄
@@rivierago Thank you! I noticed the links later! I have so many questions as this is my first time to France!
❤️🤍👍
The Cadillac should absolutely be avoided. The food is awful....
Ah, it’s a shame you made that experience! It’s not Michelin starred cuisine, but decent food for reasonable prices to us
pourquoi vous vous mettez en scène et ne pas juste montrer les images avec votre commentaire bien sur 😊
Vous le trouvez trop? C’est pas pour embêter, mais pour montrer que ce sont nos suggestions à nous - et on espère que c’est plus vivant et authentique 😇
@@rivierago mais c'est qd même super
