      My husband and I will be in Colmar, France for a couple of days in mid August 2024 (and then doing a Rick Steves tour of Switzerland for the last 2 weeks of August). If you’re in that area at that time, would LOVE to do a meet up!

      Happy Birthday Kevin! Hopefully you can exhale psychologically in the post 61 years. What a lovely town and those southern France light and colours-divine. The restaurant times are indeed so very French- smaller towns even moreso. (Screens and AC are so very American ;)). Thanks for the cost breakdown. Great discoveries.

      Very nicely done incl pros and cons, your videos are getting better and better each time ! Food prices seemed expensive – did you do much cooking at home during that one month ? Decent supermarkets readily available?

      When you booked the AirBNB, did you read the reviews? Did any of the reviews even mention mosquitoes and flies ? I am just wondering whether the mosquitoes and flies will still be around during the cool of winter, which is when I may plan to travel to the French Riviera, possibly incl Cagnes Sur Mer :). I know, I know, winter is not the best time to visit the area 😂.

      Btw, happy birthday, Kevin!

      Love this! Looks like a great place to stay and from what you posted very affordable. Was along the coast there many years ago, I think based in Nimes for a couple nights. So beautiful and glad that you had the time to stay for a full month. That's the way to do it , for sure! Thanks for sharing and am looking forward to your next adventure!

      Very nice photography, video was so good the chemistry between you two is amazing. Kevin happy belated birthday and welcome to Club 61..Wow Wow we were in Cannes May31st to June 6th. Flew into Nice, enjoyed the week driving all along the French Rivera. Yes the Mosquitos well get you the wife left the bedroom window open got bite badly had to get some stuff from the Pharmacy. If I had known would have asked, no begged you two to meet us for Lunch. Antibes blew us away.. U mentioned in the comments that Torino is now your local, after leaving France that's where we stayed for a few days. If yall get tired of Italian food(doubtful) there is an amazing Greek restaurant near Porto Nuova station we discovered called Greek Food Lab, prices were pretty inexpensive. .
