      Salut Sam! This is so great! The tips are spot on and so useful! It’s always good to hear from someone who knows the area firsthand and has been to these wonderful places. Received your beautiful post cards and they make my day when I see them in my mailbox. So sweet. Merci! 💜🌸

      Sam, your videos make Provence looks so appealing and I hope to visit there in the near future; but for now I can enjoy being there via your wonderful channel Great advice especially about the market days and times, to avoid the crowds. Have a lovely evening ✨☀️🐱🙌🌟

      Sam, you look so Beautyful with your new haircut layers? style. .I Love it! ❤Your video just found me at the right time here. I had such awful day with lots of awful people 🙄.( guess we all know this kind of days don't we 😉) but your sunny video and lovely presence made my Day ☀️☀️☀️thank you my Dear 🙂❤. AIX and it's surrounding is just beautyful. I never get tiered of it. I could watch your videos for hours. Provence is a magical place. You match just perfectly to it! Even I know you have your loved ones in California, if I may say you belong to the Provence ❤And let's not even start to talk about the delicious food…😁

      Fab content, as always, Sam! It'd be so nice to see some other vineyards in your videos, maybe smaller and more authentic ones. Just saying 🙂

      Great video Sam! Beautiful beautiful Provence 💕
      Helpful tips on where to go for those wonderful markets! I love the markets. I would go to every one of them. Just the smells and the atmosphere of them alone.
      I always get that sense of longing and belonging when I watch your videos
      Thank you 🌸💕

      Very nice video! A suggestion; if there are public transportation options or tours to go outside of Aix at the places you mentioned, it would help tourists who don’t want to rent a car.

      Thanks for a great video 😊 i have booked a ten night stay in September but not to Provence 😔 maybe next time its on the list 😊 thanks for sharing 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️xx

      Thank you for mentioning the Tuesday antique market. I arrived late on Saturday so missed that day. However, Sunday am I did get some amazing figs and octopus salad in the food market.

      This fellow Angelina is so happy to see that you've earned a sponsorship! Much deserved, Sam! BTW, I was able to visit Aix this past April. I drove from Barcelona to Aix, stayed in the beautiful city and also visited Nimes and Arles. Aix is so charming and peaceful and I used many of your tips to make my visit extra special. Thank you! 🙏🏻

      Hi Sam! I am planning a trip to southern France in spring next year. I was already sent to stay in St Remy for 5 days before heading to French Riviera, but now I feel like I have to see Aix. Maybe split my time between St Remy and Aix. Pls advise.
