That’s what its like to be famous in France and Switzerland. Seeing Tina Turner’s mansion on the cliffs of Villa Franche overlooking the Mediterranean, you can tell a legend lived there. No doubt she is missed.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It was quite a place!

[@wookiewarrior8948]

Thank you for a well--informed, great story of the legendary Tina Turner! She lived the life of a Queen, her success was well-deserved.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Indeed it was!

[@pattycakes5082]

You did an amazing job with Tina’s story and loved seeing the beautiful countryside.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@andygriffiths9916]

I bought last minute tickets to a concert at the NEC UK in the 1980s, ended up down at the front by pure chance. She came out onto the stage and went straight to the audience and connected with me eye to eye then got up and started singing. I still can’t believe it, surreal. 🤣 Great video, thanks a lot!

[@MeandMonAmi]

She was quite something!

[@andygriffiths9916]

You are simply the best story teller (which makes sense, hence your career!). Geez, made Elton cry? 👎🏽 I’m not a fan of bullies or classists. Very interesting and informative - and seriously, I love your stories! 🩷

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks very much I really appreciate it

[@nor0845]

13:04 Was that a cheeky sod on a bicycle passing Elton 😲😁? Seriously though, this one of my favourite channels. Well done and thank you for all your hard work.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Optical illusion!; So glad you are enjoying!

[@vikingsystem]

great story, love Tina's music and so sad she passed way. amazing drone captures like always Tim, thanks so much.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Glad you enjoyed it. She was a force of nature!

[@clitsing6034]

I didn't know of Tina's connection to the area. It's a far cry from Nutbush, Tennessee. Always enjoy your stories and your drives.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks it sure is!

[@emilys6186]

Great video. You don’t say what Ms Turner did after they couldn’t serve her at 5pm in the restaurant. Maybe she hotfooted it down to the pan bagnat kiosk instead and had an early tea/late lunch on the beach?!

[@gloriajohnson8465]

Such a beautiful home. I'm telling you guys and I'm not kidding - I always said if I hit the mega millions I would move to the south of france. Well, if I do I want to buy this home, I'm so serious. I had read it cost her 39 million to build, but it has the best views. This is it!! I just simply love it!!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Not a bad spot!

[@lindawegner7074]

Loved the drive and your commentary Tim..... simply the best!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Tim for taking us to the heights of Villefranche, pretty amazing villas but more amazing are the views 😎

Oh yes the views are spectacular

Beautiful story of a very talented lady❤️

[@MeandMonAmi]

Indeed she was

[@simonclews]

On previous visits to VSM, we would look way up on the ridge from our rental apartment on Quai de l'Amiral Courbet and try to guess where Tina lived. I must say we got it wrong. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes I must admit for years I thought it was the one next door to that one so we all learned something! It’s amazing how many people think Elton John’s villa is the Chateau Anglais on the Cap de Nice!

[@simonclews]

@@MeandMonAmi Really? I thought everyone knew that Elton, David, Zachery and Elijah lived at Castel Mont Alban (16 Chemin du Fort du Mont Alban).

[@cheryldiaz9477]

I did the same thing from Quai de l'Amiral Courbet! I got it wrong too!

[@IslaSprollie]

Great story, one of the best videos. Have you managed to blag a weekend in a Ligier Myli Yet? It's French, so they might let you borrow a press car for a while. It has a big boot, CarPlay built in and Bjorn Nyland has just uploaded his second video of it revealing a 170km range in Norway temperatures! What's the ventilation like? We need a pro Ami driver to test it!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Problem is I don’t have a licence. Is it sans permis?

[@IslaSprollie]

@@MeandMonAmi I think so, 45km limited. Google it. You are naturally brilliant at presenting tech reviews, so go for it. They can either say yes or no.

[@CatherinesChronicles_]

Thank you for sharing her Villa and stories!

[@MeandMonAmi]

My pleasure

[@richardhalliday6469]

Very interesting Tim, some nice background info. As you say - there certainly was some brass there!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Aye she didn’t go short

Hey Tim and Mister Boo ! Just to say that I'm French and I love so much to follow the adventures of my favorites English men in the south of France with the best and most cute funny car ever ! I Love you both ! Keep enjoy life and share with us happiness and joy ! Kisses to your cute little dog too ! ;)

Simply the Best tour of Villefranche City limits. I wonder if any Private dancing took place. The steamy windows prove What you get is what you see. Anyway. I Don't want to fight, and I Don't want to lose you. May be now owned by Proud Mary? Missing you. Help. I'm in a State of Shock.

@@MeandMonAmi Not the easiest place to nip out for a baguette or a coffee

I really want to buy you and Mr boo lots of coffee for all the lovely videos you provide us on the KZbin. Besides PayPal is there another mode of buy you guys coffee. BTW, I am in Canada

A few years ago when we were in Glasgow, we heard about a Topless Bar there. As you would expect my two Friends and I went to it later on. Imagine our let down when the Bar Staff were all Men. Very Good Video, what a pity she did not leave me her Villa in her Last Will.

Unfortunate!

When you said Tina had a spat with another superstar resident of Villefranche I thought you meant Mr Boo. :) Seriously though what an amazing property. Any idea who owns it now? I'm guessing another celebrity?

[@robertallen6710]

Her estate is probably still in court process and no one will 'own it' for quite awhile...

It's not a secret. It was featured on Oprah's TV show in the 90s and in fashion magazines years ago.

Indeed but many people in villefranche have no idea where it is because it’s in quite a hidden commune high up
