Happy birthday Mr Boo.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Merci!

[@larshelmin]

20:20 I learned my lesson, always eat before watching an episode of Me and mon Ami. Otherwise you will stare into your empty fridge in disappointment on Sundays 😅

HBD 🎉Mr Boo! Thanks for the wonderful tour of Villefranche. Visited in April 2022 as Covid restrictions were ending. It’s nice to see normal life in Villefranche with todays Vlog. Thanks again!!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Glad you enjoyed. Yup pretty much back to normal

[@richardbas2948]

Happy birthday Richard! And remember: 40 is just a number! Lovely to see where you life and recreate. But let's be honest, everything 'under' Le Mans is wonderful... The tyne villages, the people that lived there all their life, the pace of living and all the remarkable views! You'll never get bored! There's another pot off coffee on it's way, guy's; enjoy it and each other(especially lovely Twiggy)!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes and thank you!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks very much! Yes she’s very lovely!

[@jimmeltonbradley1497]

I have only been to France once in the whole of my life, and that was by cruise ship in 2009. And of all the places it could have been, it was, in fact, Villefranche sur Mer. I thought it was beautiful.

[@MeandMonAmi]

How lovely Jim. You’d be amazed how many people do the same and some end up coming back year after year

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Jamie

[@NormanF62]

Villefranche Sur Mer is between Monaco and Nice, if I’m not mistaken! A popular watering hole for the wealthy snd royalty and its a charming port town on the Mediterranean. Can see why you guys call it home and congratulations on Mr. Boo’s 40th birthday! You have a lot to look forward to in the decades ahead. 😊

[@MeandMonAmi]

Hope so! Thanks Norman

[@Hope2421]

I've watched so many of your videos and enjoyed them all, I've always liked but never commented just haven't got round to it really, can I just say that I enjoy them immensely. They're so professionally done, I can really see the work that you put into editing your videos I love you soundtrack's too and find them funny and interesting. Please keep up the good work it's the most wonderful escapism watching the 2 of you and twiggy now of course living your life down the beautiful south of France. Thanks very much. X

I wished Monsieur Boo a happy birthday last week but maybe I was the wrong side of the week. So, more 🎉🎁🎉🍻 I've been to Villefranche quite a few times, sadly the last time was a few years ago because my life wallet isn't quite as healthy now. As soon as that's rectified I'll be back, hopefully next year

Absolutely love Le Serre 😘🇫🇷 Its a great favourite of ours when we are in Villefranche, I can almost taste the steak forestriere and mouse au chocolat as we speak 😊 Another favourite of ours is La Tavola just across from the Casino supermarket, if its still the nice Italian lady who runs it 😊 Our nightly after dinner treat is a drink at the Wine Pier at the Welcome Hotel, people (and in my case) car watching 😉🍷

[@MeandMonAmi]

Le Serre is great. And the wine piers probably best viewing point!

I just found your vlog! We are returning to Villefranche-sur-Mer next year via cruise ship. Last visit was in 2010 where we stayed at Hotel Welcome for three nights. Had no idea it was a famous hotel. We’re just going to re-explore the village this time. We also talk about returning for a proper visit to celebrate a major married milestone.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Lovely. The welcome has mountains of history! Cocteau described it as a brothel when he lived there!

Stories that the latest version Citroen Ami is inferior to your older model. Thinner body parts etc to cut costs. Might be interesting if you took a test drive in a new one and did a sneaky comparison video.

Great video, Tim and Mr. Boo! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. BOO! 🎂🥂🍾...HOW LUCKY YOU TWO ARE TO LIVE IN SUCH A GORGEOUS AND INTERESTING LOCATION!!! 🏖 I really enjoyed your tour and tips of Villefranche (and Tim's delightful sense of humor !).... You even pointed out bus stops, great secret beaches, even beaches that have pebbles where you need footwear (!)🩴, picnic spots, quiet places for drinks and nosh as well as more lively ones, which are the pricey and more reasonable spots...I could easily spend time there, with exception to all that climbing of stairs! Not for me, but I am sure that there would be plenty to see and do sur la plage....👒 📚📻

@@MeandMonAmi Don’t think so. Thanks anyway. I’d send a photo if I could.

A French word that I heard in French movies was "pied-a-terre." This always confused me. In English it looks like "foot in the land" but pied-a-terre actually means a small flat or house in the city for occasional use. Do people still have pied-a-terres or are they all AirB&Bs now? Happy birthday to Mr. Boo! Ms. Twiggy is looking very demure but we are all in love with her.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Oh I think there are many second homes/ pied a terre’s that aren’t rented out and the ones that are are often used by owners partially during the year. Twiggy is great but she isn’t a fan of walking!
