Can Citroën Ami Climb HUGE Hill In COLD To Reach CASTAGNIERS?

[@SharonCee521]

I have to say that I love how you stop in the churches on your village stops… we do as well… I’m not religious but I do love them… the art, the architecture and the beautiful sense of calm …💜

[@MeandMonAmi]

Exactly they are magical places

[@470danadidas]

I bet you're never going to let Mr Boo live that down about the animal less procession! The scent of wood burning stoves and mountain air must have been magical. Reminded me of my childhood Christmas spent in Italy .Great video as always. ❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Too right I was conned. Glad you enjoyed it was a lovely afternoon.

[@rubyrom]

Wit Woo Mr Boo...lovely jacket and t shirt ❤...i remember the Big Yellow Teapot,the Big Red Bus and lots of other toys,i worked in the Bluebird Toy Factory in Swindon that manufactured them all for 3 mnths in 1984 😂 Again,thank you so much for a wonderful Sunday evening vlog watch ❤ Take care guys x....and the foodies looked tremendous, well envious x

[@MeandMonAmi]

What a lovely coincidence!

[@rebekahlow5957]

Wonderful video! Your meal looks delicious! I really enjoyed seeing the kids in the nativity play. The drone shots were gorgeous! The snow affect was a very nice touch.❄️ Happy Advent from Vermont

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Rebecca. They were so lovely and you forget how embarrassed kids are to be on stage and what a useful life skill it is!

[@lordcharfield]

Great video as always. I even got my wife to watch (she declined in the past as she thought it was a car channel 😂) - she really enjoyed too. Thank you for all the hard work that you invest in putting these videos together 🙏

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks for watching and I’m pleased you wife is onside

[@Keneka]

Another great video, loved seeing how Christmas is celebrated in the south of france, bit disappointed I didn’t get to a Christmas hamster though 🤣🤣

[@MeandMonAmi]

Indeed!! Blame Mr Boo!;

[@Keneka]

@@MeandMonAmi I’m trying to brush up on my French using Duolingo and would love to be as fluent as Mr Boo. I think they probably said there would be animals as a way to entice people to Castagniers Christmas festivities, besides anyone else under the same assumption got to see the lovely Twiggy ❤️

[@uweinhamburg]

The lunch looked fan-tas-tic! Good to see that you were still able to walk afterward for the nice christmassy shots and the views from above.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It was!

[@phonepower66]

Another charming village . You find the most wonderful eating places . Don’t remember the big yellow tea pot but remember the yellow submarine….. love the chat to camera in the Ami ,you have know idea what’s coming next ,and neither does mr.boo I suspect.great stuff as usual.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Ah the yellow sub. I certainly have no idea what coming next!

[@andyshacks7812]

What a magical place and that view across to the mountains is just stunning. You guys certainly can sniff out a good restaurant. No wonder Mr Boo struggled with that daube and how many ducks were on your plate Tim? That was certainly worth the money. Thanks for yet another fab video! ❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Andy. This was a lucky find but it’s really lovely. I can feel the warmth of the place now. The duck was VERY big!

[@dalejohnston8476]

The wife had a big yellow tea so much fun she loved it.

[@vikingsystem]

I love Christmas, the whole festive atmosphere, and the Christmas markets are something so special and unique, enjoy the good weather; here in Portugal, it has been much colder and rainier. As always, the meal is delicious, and this onion soup with cheese is a specialty, the restaurant's quality doesn't deceive; you can see it by how packed it is with customers, it's a pity there wasn't the animal parade, but even so, this week's episode is superb., Merry Christmas!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes we walked in and you just instantly knew from the crowd and who was in it that this would work. We’ve had some rainy days too

[@nickwebb9290]

Your videos are getting better and better and love the humour which seemed non stop, brilliant. . Strewth that food looked fabulous too. Best wishes 😁

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks so much. Lovely place

[@Anthony-w7i5g]

Great content again. The one advert that sticks in my mind is "miles and miles of room, plenty of room for five", never fancied buying one mind.

[@MeandMonAmi]

what was that for?

[@Nikki_Holland]

I’ll swap your 12 degrees for our zero degrees here in the Netherlands today. Lunch looked amazing as was the village. Thanks again

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Nicolas. Yes we’re lucky

[@Keneka]

I grew up in the 80’s and remember playing with a big yellow teapot 🤣

I think they were quite popular!

So many Sundays, never disappoint, thank you.

Glad you like them!

OMG😯 that grandmother made onion soap looked yummie😋🤩..and the yellow tea pot did ring a memory jingle bell🤔😄😇 am I that old?!?!😅😊🎉 thanks for the vlog🎉❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks glad you enjoyed the teapot

[@NormanF62]

Castagniers was charming! Too bad the promised live animal parade was a letdown but the lunch though pricey, fulfilled your drive up there and that’s the best feature of a Sunday mountain village outing. Thanks for the review and I look forward to another Sunday Christmas video next weekend! 😊

Live animal let down!

I got quite teary at the Christmas parade and you fly over. Another lovely video boys. ❤

Bluebird - big yellow tea pot. Much earlier in 1969 i wanted a Johhny Seven and a Raleigh Chopper, didn't get either, just a bloody Etch a Sketch !

How's about an eBook of resto reviews? There was a touch of the Grinch in this episode..:)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Moi?! Good idea!

[@liamhemmings9039]

@@MeandMonAmi pourquoi pas? Now this will test your memory, you could be the new Arthur(s) Epron. Back in the day the BBC’’s Holiday programme (way back) featured (cocaine) Frank Bough and his wife Nesta following Enron’s routes around France, based on great places to eat like a local. My mum and dad followed those routes and we had a whale of a time. Why not do fun routes for your viewers with great places to nosh, like a local? I would buy it and I have been here for over 10 years.

[@timnicholls9827]

Omg that meal! Soupe a l'oignon looked so yummy. Huge portions. €33 for a set menu. The duck looked wonderful and Mr Boo's dish looked great but didn't quite catch the name. Chez Michel is the name to remember. Lovely atmosphère in that village. Wonderful setting.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It was a daube à la niçoise avec jeu de bœuf!

Lovely little village activity. Thanks for the great video

[@MagicaLucem]

Absolutely a tour de force. ( Is that correct 😮) You've certainly started the Christmas experience with lots of fun and a giggle ...🎉 Totally appreciated and enjoyable..thank you so much from frozen England. The food looked so special, who doesn't like onion soup?, and Mr. Boo's set menu is to die for. I do wonder if the local folk in the villages you visit realise what a super advert you make about their homes? I laughed so much I had to enter my own antacid trip. No other vloggeristas span from Thomas Hardy to Big Yellow Teapots Brilliant... ( As I sip my tea in my "Me and Mon Ami" mug) Happy Christmas to you all. ML

[@MeandMonAmi]

Bless you. Yes I’m not sure the algorithm truly appreciates what I think young people call diversity but glad you do!

[@jackoneil3933]

Really enjoined the visit to Castagniers, so many reminders of magical Christmas times of childhood when some of us were lucky to miss out on the Big Yellow Tea Pot, but at 16;45, Mr. Boo's Me And Mon Ami Sleigh T-shirt is something not to miss out on (while supplies last?). The closing airborne Christmas card was lovey and something I shared with friends and a few Grinches kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXO5pXdvadZjqac Merry Christmas! Thanks for keeping us charged

Thanks Jack! You missed out on that teapot!

Big yellow teapot was the era of "bluebird toys" who were eventually taken over in the late 90's by mattel so you were half right. ..the big yellow teapot toy was on heavy advert rotation which is why it is seared into my mind.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It was on a lot wasn’t it?!

[@louiselage7740]

This episode was absolutely hilarious! Ahhh...to live in the head of Tim for just one day! What fun that would be! LOL! That meal looked incredible. You two must have needed a nap after that feast! The parade/nativity was a wee bit underwhelming, but hey ho, it was sweet. Right now I am looking out at the most beautiful hoar frost that descended overnight...lovely warmish weather for us here. Anywho, great video, as per usual! BTW, I believe the concrete style that looks like wood is called 'faux bois'...

[@MeandMonAmi]

You wouldn’t want to trust me!; faux bois! That makes sense!

[@elizabethlao9177]

Thank you for showing us that cool cement waterfall fixture. It is pretty sweet. Actually I have seen something like this before in Austin, Texas, on 6th Street (party Central) on the river walk. It was cement also made to look like wood. It was awesome how realistic the effect was. Maybe the guy who built it was French.😊

The sound is bad (also was last week) but there were no comments to that effect. So I figured it's not affecting most people, tried on a different device, sound was fine. For diagnosis, the driver's microphone is often inaudible when watching through safari browser (on Mac) to TV via HDMI.
