This is more like it…
We did so much in one day – Marseille, Avignon, French aqueduct, Nimes, Montpellier, and stayed with a French family. Overall, we loved this part of the French Riviera much more than the northern part, and we would love to come back and spend more time here.
In this video:
- We wake up to a beautiful sunrise and drive up to the Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde in Marseille, France (great spot to view the city)
- Stop by the Palace of the Popes in Avignon, France
- Admire the well-preserved Roman aqueduct, Pont du Gard
- Briefly pause to snap a few photos of the extremely well-preserved Roman amphitheater, Arena of Nîmes in Nîmes, France
- Quickly grab a bite to eat, a couple Nespresso samples, and walk around a few sights in Montpellier, France
- Stayed with some new friends that we met through A Candle in the Window – THANK YOU Shelomie & Phil! We loved staying with you and getting to know you a bit. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
