In this video, Ben Small breaks down the real differences across Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur (PACA), from Marseille and Aix-en-Provence to Avignon and the French Riviera around Nice. Instead of focusing on postcard images of Provence, we look at how the region actually functions: housing markets, regional connectivity, healthcare access, daily rhythms, and the realities of expat life in southern France. 👉 In this video, you’ll learn: Why PACA’s most famous destinations aren’t always the easiest places to build a life What daily life actually looks like in Marseille, Nice, Aix-en-Provence and Avignon How housing markets vary dramatically across the region Why transport links and regional connectivity shape long-term lifestyle decisions Why the South of France works best when you choose structure before scenery ✨ The dream of the South of France often starts with sunshine and markets, but the life you build here depends on rhythm, infrastructure, and choosing the place that actually supports your day-to-day life.
