French Riviera & Provence 2025 Vlog: Cannes, Menton, Aix en Provence & More!

Hey guys, this is a big travel vlog. I went to the Kot in Province with my dad and it was the first time he’d ever been here. Well, not to Paris. This was his third time. This was the first time we’d ever been there together. But we just stuck to our normal things in Paris that he really likes to do the most like he loves. So, we also went to see because it was open, but we did our little picnic in Plast. And then we were off to Nice for four nights. This was like a dream for me because I have wanted to go down to Nice for several nights for a while now cuz I’ve been there three times now, but it’s always been really really short trips. So, this was great because I finally got to take in everything and do lots of things that I haven’t done yet like Ken Men um God b so so so much fun jam-packed. We did not stop for one second. It’s 2 days, 3 days since we came back and I am still recovering. So, I just started off by showing him around Nice. He loved it cuz he loves blue collar towns and Nie is definitely much more rough around the edges than Paris and it’s not manicured. It’s more of a working town. So, he kind of got his taste and yeah, I’ll chime in and talk in this vlog when I feel fit. Other than that, I’m going to let you guys just enjoy it like a lookbook. [Music] appeared last time. Okay. Okay. [Music] Yeah. Nice. I obviously was here just a couple months ago, but it’s my dad’s first time. I’ve never been all the way up at Castle Hill or Lucas Do. It’s a whole park. And I think I knew this at one point. It just doesn’t register because or hasn’t registered because I haven’t been up here, but it’s a really nice quiet uh place away from me. Uh, and the views are so stunning for us. So, yeah. [Music] After showing my dad the old town in Nice, we headed back to Euphr because I knew that sitting on the water and eating dinner was something my dad would love. So, we did that that night and then we headed to Bulu to check it out. I’ve been filming for the vlog. Oh, okay. It’s that worm vulu understand [Music] we very quickly figured out that bul is definitely not for tourists. It has really stunning beauty. It’s different than buff is all about the cute town and the colorful old town. This is more just has really stunning beauty. kind of like kept but it has more of a town whereas kept is really just blood. But this is all local. So I would say Gulu should not be super super high on your list if you’re only in the French Rivier for a couple of days. But if you have time it is worth coming to because it gives a more local experience. [Music] Okay, good. All right, we’re finally in Menong. I’ve always wanted to come here. It’s like the only village I haven’t seen. No. Gorgeous. Gorgeous blue. What? Wow. The color of the water is so pretty. Gorgeous. So pretty. Mango spritz. That’s a pine. [Music] Yeah, I was right. Old town. Let me shoot this. This is the old town. One thing that you cannot miss out if you decide to go to Manuel is to go to one of the many artisal jam shops. They have an amazing collection. Jam shop. [Music] Then of course a trip to the French Riviera would not be complete without a day trip to Paco. My dad didn’t think much of it really like I personally love Fontbe and I think is really really pretty. Also the this garden forget the Princess Grace Kafri I think it’s really pretty. Um but my dad ultimately found it very little sterile because it’s so controlled which is fair. So this is where my mom and I stayed last time. It is it’s fair. Um, but we did that trip and we went to the casino and I just showed him all of the highlights that I could [Music] take delivery. Yeah. Okay, now you can go. [Music] Okay. Sometimes it doesn’t [Music] Then because we had an extra day because my dad flew in an extra day to avoid the strikes on September 10th, we ended up having an extra full day. So we ended up going to Ken cuz I’d always always wanted to finally see what all the hype was about. And I’m happy to report that I actually liked it and I really want to go back. [Music] The best way to describe kin to someone is it’s like you picked up Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and picked up South Beach from Miami and boom, you put them together and they’re in France. I personally really liked it because it had both and then down to earth vibes again. Oh yeah, it’s going to be a view and I just loved the beach and the views. I think this is a city on the French River that is well worth the hype. Been filming the whole time. It appears that there are trains or shuttles that take you up here if you don’t want to climb up here. But it’s really not that bad. I’d say it’s equivalent to Mam in Paris. Maybe a little bit better. Like not as bad, but yeah. views. [Music] I find you This is true. [Music] We’re leaving Nice. We’re going to Ainong. It was great to be here for four nights and see everything really calmly and see men see kin. It was great patriarchal. I think it’s called the perfect [Music] I miss this little house. Even though my camera screen is really disliking me. I missed it. So weird. I don’t understand why the camera is like half working. I’m going to have to buy a new one. The screen is just totally over it. But we’re back in Avenue in our little I haven’t been here in a couple years, but I really miss this cute Look at this cute little house. I missed it. Now the camera’s working, so I’m scared to do anything. But yeah, I miss this cute little house a lot. SP in my apartment. I’m hungry. So, I’m gonna get dressed and go eat breakfast and have coffee. [Music] Okay, I’m listening. We don’t make your heart. [Music] at the market in Aven. Sometimes I go out by myself. [Music] [Music] There’s a whole market on a Sunday in exos. I’ve always wanted to see this city. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] walking around at somewhere. [Music] Lots of little boutiques to explore. It’s different than I thought. It’s very lively, like cool. [Music] Camera is not working, but this is much more live than I thought it was going to be. It’s a happy surprise. It’s a student town. Um, it’s cool. [Music] [Music] Yeah, it’s exactly what I was told. It’s just a nice Oh, god. lip. It’s just a really nice city. Yeah, most quiet over here. It’s It’s working on what’s happening. This is a nice city. It’s a nice city. I do think it’s a nice city. I do. I like it. So cute. [Music] It is endless. What a great place to be a student. Are you excited? Well, it’s a student town international maybe. So that’s pretty good. Do you like [Music] good? [Music] Yeah. Not the size, but yeah. Mountain of lavenders. Yeah. [Music] What is it? No. How do you say until next time? I push for I love potion for for I love [Music]
