    Are the shops and restaurants in these quaint villages open in December? I am planning a trip to these villages.

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  Před 2 měsíci

      Many of them will probably be closed in December… there are mostly only the locals left that time of year. If you’re looking for something more lively in Provence in winter, we suggest you check out Aix-en-Provence. Among the villages we’re showing, we would assume Bormes and Cotignac to be the ones with the most open shops/restaurants in December

    Is there no way to get to these villages by train?

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  Před 2 měsíci +2

      No, unfortunately, not that we are aware of… they are in the middle of nowhere. For Bormes-les-Mimosas you can take the train to Hyères, but it’s still around 20 min by car from there

      @@rivierago Ah okay. I think I will try to go to some of the other villages you mentioned in a different video, perhaps taking a train from Aix or maybe I will have to take buses. I really like the look of Gordes and Baux de Provence and Moustiers Saint Marie.

      They are lovely, all three of them! We haven’t yet shown Gordes and Les Baux, since from where we‘re based (near Nice) it’s quite the trip. But we‘ve been there, of course, and they are stunning!

    What is your definition of tacky shops left and right? I see plenty in this video, overrated overpriced, but fake characters

    • @rivierago
      @rivierago  Před 2 měsíci

      We said „mostly touristy but not tacky“ for the shops in Bormes and we mean it! Of course it’s touristy stuff, but mostly of a certain quality, not what you would find in those souvenir shops lining certain streets in Paris with cheap plastic things all Eiffeltower.
      You can find hand crafted local pottery for example, local fabric etc. Yes, there may also be the odd lavender sachet coming from China, but that’s why we said „mostly“ 😅
