Super cool antique shop 😎

[@MeandMonAmi]

We agree!

[@Lebawise018]

How wonderful! all of your videos, I'm a new fan and will be visiting the area in August maybe I'll see you! Cheers, or a bientot!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks very much!

[@uweinhamburg]

Nice one (again!!). I hope you bought something from Patrick just for his acceptance to let you film in his little Aladdin's cave 🤣 And thank you for not making any 'Allo, allo' puns... Mid-February and Mr. Boo with a shirt and rolled up sleeves - good signs for things to come 😃

[@ericsevern]

Still can't believe you guys have so few subscribers. Love this.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Please spread the word and share some videos if you can

[@ericsevern]

@@MeandMonAmi You got my attention when you got the Citroën. It was such a brilliant idea: to create a car out of quadricycle rules. I feel that drivers should still be taught and licenced and insured as the vehicle can still damage and maim and kill, and by the now the vehicle should have been updated and improved according to reviews by owners such as you, but it’s still a great idea: simple, cheap, personal transportation protected from the weather. But then, your channel is more than the car. You explore the south of France enjoying the sights and tastes that my wife and I keep dreaming about. We can’t be the only people loving this sort of thing.

[@brian9480]

Great video guys You are becoming a right pair of foodies. Your videos are getting better and better Superb 👍👍👍

[@MeandMonAmi]

thanks Brian

The little dog would be safe with a little belt or inside a padded bag. He is too cute.

If allo Robert was in u.k it would have to be allo,allo,Robert ? Another great video .the places you visit are so interesting. There is great warmth from you both which makes them so good . Well done .

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks very much. It’s a fabulous place we’ve longed to share forever but never quite plucked up the courage to ask the owner

[@thedarklandsmusic]

another cracking video....

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks again!

[@avidviewer1]

Fascinating as always. Thanks so much! 🤗

[@MeandMonAmi]

Our pleasure!

[@Lawman212]

I really enjoyed that conversation between Mr. Boo and Patrick. His accent was excellent; I would love to speak like that someday.

[@MeandMonAmi]

He’s very good!

[@MikeinNice]

Brilliant Tim & Mr Boo! Excellent fun!

[@LuxurywithNatalia]

Next time do stop by O Petit Corner for that coffee and home cooked treat as it's really lovely and tasty!! The owners are really great too. Bonjour de Menton 🍋 from an adopted Mentonaise

[@MeandMonAmi]

Next time!

[@davidmarshall5596]

Mister Me and Mister Boo and Elton and Twiggy 🐶🐕 Allo Robert was like walking into a time capsule with so many things on theire it waz mesmerising! I bet you could spend all day in there Tim 🤔 lunch looked very nice 👍 another very well put together vlog with great scenery & music ! Stay safe and well and obviously stay charged 🎉❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks David it’s an amazing place!

[@Keneka]

Another great video. Very interesting Allo Robert, definitely an Aladdin’s cave of treasures - although you already had the best treasure of Menton - Twiggy ❤ lovely looking lunch, we had lunch in that restaurant a couple of years ago, lovely seafood 👍🏻

[@MeandMonAmi]

it’s a nice place to sit for sure. Twigs is lovely and a bit norty!

[@coconuts2361]

A very nice video! I must have been to Menton 200 times, I still go there quite often and I knew absolutely nothing about this beautiful antique shop! How is that even possible? It is well hidden. But I will find my way next time I go to Menton.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s very well hidden but really special

[@lovesfrance2928]

Always so hard to say goodbye each Sunday, we love your videos so much! Allo Robert was a joy and now we are considering seeing Menton when we are visiting Saint Paul de Venice later this year. Until next week..😊❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

That’s so lovely to hear. Menton is fascinating and Allo Robert a must visit.

[@rubyromane7476]

👍🏿xx

[@paulashby4952]

Absolutely brilliant fellas. Great antiques shop. What a find.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks it’s fab

[@vivianborsh6268]

The boys are back!!❤

[@vikingsystem]

Fantastic video, Allo Robert is a true museum of everyday items from other times, a truly magical place where I could easily lose myself for a long time appreciating it all. Thanks so much lads, It's always a pleasure to watch these Sunday videos

[@MeandMonAmi]

We adore it. Struggled to find the right word for it title wise. Cabinet of curiosities is what it is really/museum of signage and iconography

[@HenkModderman]

Well, that was another very nice episode. What a special collection of interesting trivia!

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s lovely stuff

[@jackoneil3933]

Thank you and Patrick for the stunning visit to Allo Robert, but it was almost too much to take in. Also stunning how fast the time goes, and the episodes ever quite long enough. Btw, might there be a hidden reel of Tim's Granny honking practice?

[@MeandMonAmi]

Granny off cuts!

[@bobbyrudki3851]

Great video guys, Menton is a beautiful town, I ate at the Taj Mahal, until next time stay charged Byyyye😊

[@MeandMonAmi]

It is

[@CatherinesChronicles_]

Found a wonderful tiny Corsican restaurant in the east side of the old town

[@user-dm5qz3bg1f]

Ohh definitely need a trip to Allo Robert this Summer!

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s a unique place

[@Lawman212]

Also, the 4k resolution of this video is just so sharp and vivid.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks

[@1958mercedes]

Please contact us we need a get a driver's licence.We are close to Menton. We may be of assistance to you.

[@MZig-rw7su]

Mr Boo could wear shorts now the weather is improving...

[@MagicaLucem]

I literally found myself smiling as your KZbin video popped onto my 70 inch TV with Mr. Boo's smiling face in living colour smiling back at me Sipping my afternoon coffee in my Me and Mon Ami mug.. Fantastic.

[@MeandMonAmi]

So nice to hear. 70 inch is a bit frightening though!

[@KCElstun]

Hey guys, great video as usual. But a word; Tim: please look into the irregularities of driving tests. It's worth a Google. I don't know if it's the same in Monaco, but in France it appears to be a huge scam. I have been a licensed driver (in the USA) for 50 years, 12 years in France, and after having passed "Le Code", in French, after the first try, I have failed the driving test 3 times. The last time, I spoke with a few of the other candidates… some had failed 4 and 5 times. I then did some checking and found a variety of scams, including a kick-back scam between driving schools and "inspecteurs". I am 1500€ poorer and still have no license. Just be cautious. As usual, your videos make my Sunday evenings. Please keep up the good work!

[@MeandMonAmi]

I shall keep an eye out. The theory is flummexing me at present

[@mikeenglish6401]

Guys I love your lunch segments, especially when you’re eating alfresco in the February sunshine! X

[@juliensavery7643]

Hello from Portugal, you should do a compilation album of the great music you use !

[@SharonCee521]

I love that cliff wall you drive past en route to Menton… where exactly is that? Between Monaco and Menton? We will be there this month and even though I don’t want to go to Menton (again), I do want to drive along that cliff. I love your videos, and your drives into the mountains always brings back wonderful memories of France and Italy 👏💜

[@MeandMonAmi]

The Tête du chien? We have a video about it..

[@amandahewson949]

What a wonderful place !

[@MeandMonAmi]

It is

[@Sh1tfaceMagee-db3px]

Proper toboggan!? either it was already a family antique or tims family were loaded, our snow is not french snow in either depth nor quality, plus did the runners ever get waxed tim? ...as a snowboarder I keep my wax puck in my backpackfor winter use, & in summer to sniff for the memories (a scented wax is a must) ..wax = glide, lube ...a life necessity for so many things.

[@andyshacks7812]

I love places like Allo Robert. I can spend hours rummaging lol

[@MeandMonAmi]

This is the best

[@dlschgo]

And what did Twiggy have for lunch? A recurring mystery, so easy to resolve.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Biscuits!

[@howardwarren7683]

Hmmmm, If you caused Granny to have a cardiac episode while driving Elton, you'd hope he still has enough charge to give her a jump start! 🤔

[@adamcolvindevalle2074]

In 30 years time there might-be a vintage Citroen ami in Allo Robert awaiting discovery.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Indeed!

[@Rascasse06]

Allo Robert, le meilleur!!! Nice vidéo guys!

[@MeandMonAmi]

He is!

[@Jamienomore]

This may sound a stupid idea, but, instead of following a Driving Instructor to see what he does when testing someone. How about following him from a far enough distance so he won't know he is being followed and instead, use your Drone. As well as Recording the Drone footage, watching it Live you will know where he went. That Second Hand Shop looked very interesting.🧸🧸🚙

[@HannahQueenOfAir]

Ooo if you're ever by Newark, England, drop by Newark Antiques and Interiors ❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Will do

[@FRanceSource]

Always fun and the highlight of our week!. What is the name of the restaurant you ate at? I think we want to go there in October. We're considering a possible night or two in Menton during our 7 nights in your area.

Heading to Menton in a couple weeks. Will definitely check out Allo Robert! I would love if you listed the restaurants you visit in the description. What is the name of the fabulous one in this vid?

[@MeandMonAmi]

Not sure but we went to the one right next door for this coming weeks video and we preferred it. Menton is tough for food we always find.

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

Hi lads from Spain. I love junk shops but don't have the fortune to be able to pay for all the things I'd like to have. Nice to see some things that we have here in the house. Can't stand paella, it's where they seem to throw all the leftovers and despite having come from somewhere famous for its shellfish, I don't like mussels or any other shellfish. I quite like prawns, though, but not the way the French cook them with loads of grease and garlic.

[@MeandMonAmi]

This is curated junk!;

[@user-gg2ui4zb1q]

Going next week, definitely going to the antique market, and 100% going on the bumper cars😂

[@MeandMonAmi]

You’ll regret it. I did my back in on one years ago. Say hello to Patrick you will love his place. Be careful opening times. Closes 12.30 to 3.30 for lunch and not open weds/sun

[@Chrisb8s]

One of my best friends has has a crew that enters into paella 🥘 competitions. It’s so interesting. The judges only taste the rice

Jeez tim, that all to brief shot of the motobecane needs its own video, people need to know how mobility in france through to the 1980's was still often small engined simplicity of the 2cv, & the likes of the many puch type moped variants that allowed for basic mobility, the cycles that had motor kits enterprisingly built on as kits, (used to cause a ruccus at youth hostels when it was still deemed as a place you got to via your own steam (no engines allowed) so if hostelling, you had to cycle the final approach via your pedals. So yes please, a special on your own bike from back in the day & low cost mobility serving as a reminder of the basic, utilitarian transport that is also the twizy & ami as well as a few other micro manufacturers would be an interesting video to explore (please)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Yes I keep meaning to do it but it involves trying to make the old Solex go again which may not be easy

[@Sh1tfaceMagee-db3px]

@@MeandMonAmi No, just a solex inspired retrospective would be interesting enough, but you may want to put a shout out if grease monkeying is not your thing whilst making a video!?

Monark is an old swedish bicycle brand who I never have seen outside of Sweden. 14:50 Is that citizen Kane's Rosebud sledge?

I don't envy you with having to take the French driving test, luckily the only benefit of Brexit was a deal to honour the UK driving licence of UK immigrants. After some head scratching, internet questions and delays I'm now the proud owner of a Permis de Conduire. . Having said all that I think after driving the Ami for a few years the test shouldn't be that difficult for you.

[@MeandMonAmi]

It’s not the practical it’s the theory that worries me. It’s devious

[@teddyboysdontknit810]

@@MeandMonAmi Don't worry Tim, just look around you, if they can do it so can you. Maybe you can take with you a list of word translations to answer the questions, obviously they won't be answers so they might agree, or find an examiner who understands a little English, good luck. I've been banned by my French wife from shouting at other drivers, also age has a calming effect. I just know they will be in the wrong lane and want to cut in front!

You didn't buy anything. There's no point unless you are going transport a prosthetic limb , wheelchair or some other comedic appliance in the Ami!!!!
