Visiting France during winter is magical especially in Alsace. Strasbourg and Colmar are the most beautiful places during Christmas time 🎄😍
Alsace is not the most common destination in France but it is one of the best yes! Maybe because it is my native region too ;)
As a solo female traveler I absolutely can’t go anywhere with my portable charger. It’s been such a life saver when I need to use my phone to navigate but my battery is low. I highly recommend getting a good one that lasts for a long time. They can be expensive but mine has saved me many times over.
same here!! this is SO important when solo traveling.
Thank you very much Lexie for painting France in such a wonderful light! As a French viewer, this is greatly appreciated.
Everyone, please come visit, and remember: France is not Paris!
My personal tip: Come visit small medieval villages like Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, Vitré, Laon, Saint-Rémy-de-Provence and Pézenas.
Wooow u are really amazing! When I grow up I wanna travel all around the world like u! ❤️ Specially in France
As a French man living in France and having traveled quite a bit in my beautiful country (never enough, though), here is what I have to say: Paris is a must do but highly overrated and the quality of the experience is decreasing quickly. Don't spend more than a week there and take advantage of the museums (especially if you're 26 or less, and a European citizen. Lots of free museums for you). I consider the French Riviera is overrated. Lovely landscapes but very crowded in the summer. I highly recommend trying to visit the countryside, pretty much everywhere. People might seem rude there especially if you end up being in the middle of nowhere and they are not used to having tourists and they might not speak English at all, but you will find the most beautiful landscapes, castles and villages of the country. If you go in the countryside in summer, try and find traditional village fests or religious ceremonies, which are often the best way to experience funny and interesting parts of our rich History and culture. If y'all need more infos or details, just ask me by answering to that comment and I'll be happy to help
Bonjour! I'm planning to spend a month in France (in Winter) to explore this beautiful country & improve the language (current level of French is somewhere between A2 to B1).
My current plan: Paris (9 days) => Normandie (7 days) => Voice Valley (?) => Semur-en-Auxois (?). Does it sound good for you? Or do you have any other recommendation? I love visiting the museums and nature. Going to somewhere with little or no English is high acceptable for me :)
how do you know when these village festivals / religious ceremonies are on
@@beargaming3693 either go on the website of the villages/ régions / départements before going to the places you inted to visit, or go to the "offices de tourisme" (tourism offices) or town-halls once you're already there
Bonjour @@yasha6466 , I never heard of the Voice Valley. Where is it ? 9 days in Paris seems fine to me. When you go to Normandie, I recommend the d-day museum and beaches, as well as the Mont st Michel. The countryside is beautiful too but the weather is not always the greatest. If/when you go to Semur-en-Auxois, will you have a car ? It looks like a beautiful medieval village but the problem with small villages is that they are often in the middle of nowhere and hard to reach, with little to no public transportation. If you have a car or someone to drive you around, go for it, and definitely spend one day in Dijon. It doesn't seem to be too far and there are great things to see there (mustard museum, churches, etc). The area around Semur-en-Auxois seems absolutely lovely and i'm pretty sure you can spend a week without getting bored. Thanks for your questions, and don't hesitate to reach to me again if you need more infos
@@yasha6466 and since you are going there in winter, definitely take very warm clothes since it can get pretty cold around Semur (high propability of snow). And you'll definitely have some (a lot of) rain in Normandie in winter
Hi Lexie and thank you so much to discribe France in such a so enthousiastic and positive way ! As a french woman just coming back from India, I can confirm that traveling solo in France could not be safer ! Most of the time, people are ell educated and respectful but I must agree that sometimes tourists are considered as "target" for pickpockets and so on... but as you said, common sense is a great vertue to avoid some bad situations. By the way, France has not to be limited to Paris, because these are beauties and wonders in each regions. From moutains, countryside, coasts, cities, from north to south, landscapes, climate and food is so different. The places I personaly love the most are "Bretagne" region and its wild landscapes, the Alpes moutains, Corsica, Nantes and its famous elephant, Bordeaux, the Alsace region with delicious wines and Christmas markets (Strasbourg, Colmar...). It's really easy to use trains and buses to visit another place. France has so much to offer, I wish you great discoveries and "bon appétit" !
I’ve been to France 7 times and I could go back. There is so much to see.
This series is super exciting! Going to be a huge amount of work lol, so thanks for creating it. Can't wait to watch and follow along!
Already IN LOVE with the concept of this series!!!!
This is the best travel tips I've ever come across, just absolutely beautiful and amazing content Lexie, I've been to France and I'd love to visit again
Lexie thank U so much for coming up with incredible idea of creating video of 296 best of best each n every country ,I'm truly excited and can't wait watch all of them as you upload it.
This video has such amazing editing and content! I enjoyed every second of it! Proud to be part of the limitless army!
As a Brit who's lived here on the French Riviera for over 18 years this was a nice video to watch 😊 My local region of the Esterel Côte d'Azur area nestled in between Cannes and St Tropez is a great contrast to the stereotypical areas of the Riviera with its lovely quiet coastlines and natural surroundings. It's not all glitz and glamour here and I mean that in the best way possible
Way to go Lexie!!! Episode one is in the can. Can't wait to see your tips for the rest of the world. Always entertaining and informative.
Great video wonderful Lexie!!! I had a great time in Paris when I visited 9 years ago! Great tip about learning some French before you go, I did and it made things so much easier!
We went to France last December around Omnicron and went to Paris, Champagne, Dijon, Burgundy, and Lyon. Absolutely incredible and there were hardly any tourists. Christmas decorations and markers all over. Great video Lexi! France is amazing!!
Looking forward to the rest of this series!
Very informative! Thank you ♥️
Best series ever!!!
hey Lexie, great idea this series! Thanks for the tips and tricks for traveling that you share with us in every video. About France, one "must see" area I would recommend is Loire Valley, is an area of great mountains and Castles. Have fun and keep traveling!
This is awesome! I am going to France for thanksgiving with a group of 13. This is a lifesaver!!!
Welcome back been awhile since you have uploaded vlogs
This a great series idea 💡 👏
Wow, just found your channel and I have to tell you, its amazing, loving your videos, they're inspirational and helping us plan our next adventure
The timing of his video is great! I’m going to Paris in 3 days!
I really enjoyed watching this guide! I would love to visit France one of these days. I definitely want to check out Paris and then also head out of the city to some of the other parts of the country.
As a French sub it was really interesting to watch. Small correction though for Where are the toilets: Où sont les toilettes ? :D
Proud to see the first thing mentioned was Le Mont Saint Michel.
I love France. Fortunately been there twice in two years.
Bonjour depuis la France ! Hâte de vous y revoir 😉
Great series,looking forward to another episodes.France is a must visit,NFC is handy feature on smartphone without using card directly
Loved France. Went for the first time in July and want to go back so bad.
Hey Leslie,
I'm from Lyon, France. Somewhat disappointed Lyon wasn't recommanded in this video... 😅 Honestly, this is pretty much spot on. All the info is useful and correct. Coming from a person that doesn't live here, that's impressive! Looking forward to the rest of the series. Keep it up! 🤙🏻
Could you tell me how the weather Is in Lyon during winter months? Do you reccommend visiting Lyon in winter or in summer? Thanks in advance
@@dinakossifaki9232 it gets cold in winter, around 0°C most of the time. It sometimes rain, but it's mostly cloudy and cold. There are different things to do and eat in winter, it is near many ski stations, for instance. But in summer, you get nice weather, longer days, and you'll probably enjoy your stay a lot more.
@@Gueph Thanks for answering. Very helpful information
Love the ideea. I am really curious what you have to say about every country 🙈 I just hope that you make this video a few times per week😁
I spent a summer in rennes France and it was beautiful! I also got a chance to go to some of the castles on the west side of the country and the dunes du pila and calanques park on the east. Definitely places I didn’t know about before but very worth it!
Bonjour, Lexie! 🙂👋🏼🇫🇷🥐🥖🗼
Hi Lexie, as a french I would say that Brittany and Alsace (especially Colmar) are so nice, Burgogny as well...I would say that go in the countryside is a good idea there are many nice villages in France...
Wow great 😊
@Lexie_Limitless I don't understand, explain me
Your videos are always amazing and very helpful and I can't think of another person on a channel on here that does it better than you but it kinda stinks that you never engage with the people on here that support you. Not hating, just an observation and I look forward to more videos as they always put a smile on my face.
If you wanna discover France, deeply, you can go away from bug cities and come in Bretagne, or South West for exemple. There are so many landscape, so many cultures in our country ! :)
Love your videos from Bangladesh 🥰
Hey hey lexi thank you I totally need this for August next summer I'm like secretly trying to figure out how I can get out of customs and out to the Effile Tower and back through customs in about 5 hrs or so haha...
I'm going to watch every video of this series, knowing full well that I'll probably never visit most of those countries
One thing I would add about how good the trains are in Europe. If you’re in Paris, both Amsterdam and London are only a two hour train ride away. France makes a good base for multiple location holidays. Planning Paris for May 2023, gonna hit the boulangeries hard 😋
Hi Lexie, very nice video about my country but we need to don't miss that France have beautiful other places accessible from Paris with the train such as Reims (45 mins train from Paris) with its cathedral where kings and emperor were sacred and if you go further east, you can visit Verdun (1h train from Paris) where you can find the trenches of the first world war then further east you have Metz (1h30 train from Paris) with the german and french culture with the imperal neighborghood, the cathedral and the train station that is the most beautiful train station in entire France then but not least Strasbourg (2h30 train from Paris) with its cathedral, the european parliament and the Rhin river making the border with germany. Also, you can visit the volcanoloes aera near Clermont Ferrand or Burgundy with its wineries and castle, Toulouse with its aeronautics, the pyrenees and the bordeaux aera (mainly for wine and liquors).
hiii big fan of your videos ...love from india
Hi, have a great day if you're reading this comment
ये बात, ये तबस्सुम, ये नाज, ये निगाहें ......🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm French and for clothes you can wear whatever you want for men or women, in Paris we like to see the different styles of people's clothes, even we don't pay attention to them.
On my last solo trip in October, I shared my itinerary with my parents before I went. And I always sent them a text message everyday. Instead of a wallet, I carried a money belt which was hidden so nobody could pickpocket me which was useful as I was spending most of my time on the Underground
Thank u for all these tips on France. May I pass on one more tip? Alizee, She is my favorite French singer. Look her up guys. Moi Lolita is her best song.
Please make a travel guide to Dubai, please please please !!!
where is the toilet? = où sont LES toilettes ?
Next try come to Ethiopia, I'll be your tour guide :)
Have you ever visited Lyon? It is my favourite city !
toujours commencer par le meilleur ;) tu parles bien français Lexie? Something you missed to say is that tourists must say "bonjour" to everybody and use "s'il vous plait" all the time. French people are mostly rude to tourists because we find them unpolite. Starting a conversation without bonjour is a no-no.
I'm bugeting $500 per day for hotels....$300 per day for food - 2 people - $100 per day for various tickets -$600 car rental for Provence (flying to Nice from Paris) and $10,000 for clothing shopping....over a 11 day trip in Late May-early June....Surprised you didn't talk clothes shopping!
I know escargot sounds aus. But don’t knock it til you try it
You little Lara Croft..❤🧡💛
de Rock😊😊😊😊😊
Fun fact: Nice airport is home headquarters to airplane makers Airbus
💪🏻🇨🇵✌🏻
Mais c'est Charles !!!!
If you want the true experience of French Food, Lyon is the cuisine capital of the world. Check out the restaurants with the certified label "Bouchon Lyonnais", your belly will have a blast.
Hey everyone, I’m french(and live in France) so I don’t really know what to tell you but if anyone got any questions don’t hesitate asking me!
Hi
Hello i like you miss good lucky for more expression ❤❤👑🔥🌍 from Algerien people
Music is a bit loud
You must travel to morocoo
« Where is the toilet? » is « Où sont les toilettes? » not « Où est une toilette »😭
I’ve been visiting the French Riviera for the past 20 years. Must say that the sand beaches are very overrated. Avoid the famous beaches in Nice and St. Tropez. Instead, look for cliffs, rocks and traditional old piers. Fewer people, cleaner water, and an overall better experience. Also, join the old French dudes playing boules. It’s awesome 😂
Do you have any suggestions for less popular beaches in the French Riviera? I am heading there this spring.
@@gracegrove5019 What are you looking for? Town size? small hidden gems? sandy beaches? hiking options?
@@SuperMarioBruus Looking for good hiking spots with close access to wineries. Hidden gems are always a plus. I am unfamiliar with anywhere except Nice. Thank you!
@@gracegrove5019 Cool! Then I would recommend a place that i've been to called Théoule-sur-Mer. Red rock formations, beautiful ocean, good hiking options and vinyards not too far away. Also quite close to cannes which is a must see! Look it up :)
If you want to say "where's the toilet?" in French, you have to say "Où sont les toilettes ?", it's plural
Its more like, ou est la toilette. we dont say ou est une toilette
it's more "ou sont les toilettes"
I wish this wasn´t so US focused
Hello... I like you so much
My boyfriend eats snails 😅😂. I’m vegan woohoo 🙌 who’s vegan here?
Lexie U R truly so beautiful women , gorgeous, u were looking stunning in this video where that bla dress with your long hair hanging on 1 side.
