This channel is true hidden gem of youtube. Beautiful places, very interesting storries. Because of you guys, i love Cote d'Azur even more :) Cheers from Poland!
I'm with you. Why does this channel have only 11k subscribers, when cooking channels or stupid 'influencers' get hundreds of thousands or millions? I stumbled over them the day the Ami arrived at this parking spot 1,5 years ago and watched every new video from them since then and was never disappointed 👍
Hi to you both from the south of England. I came across you channel whilst searching for videos on the Citroen ami that I am looking to buy when they are released in the Uk. I so much enjoy you tours with fantastic scenery and history as I now watch them all in series. Keep up the great work and can’t wait for the next instalments and travels with your Elton
The sharp turns on the road to Gorbio are terrifying! I breathed a big sigh of relief when you spotted the "Charging Station"!! Lunch looked yummy! I had fun Googling Gorbio before I watched the video. Love the WC story!! Thank you for this marvelous trip!!!!! Love from Vermont
Great fun again! You are both doing a great job, we've had a right good chuckle tonight! Lovely, interesting content and great presentation. Better than anything on UK TV on a Sunday evening! Many thanks.
One day! One day the log man will watch your videos and sue you for slander 😉🤣🤣🤣 Another beautiful one. i loved the creche with the bicycle chain drive...
Hi there, it’s Dena. Absolutely fantastic! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching. You are funny, informative and make me long to return. Thanks so much!
Thank you for visiting Gorbio! It's our second favorite hilltop town after Sainte-Agnes. You have brought back wonderful memories. One of these days we hope to be back. Have a great week, Tim and Mr. Boo. See you next Sunday night! Bye for now from New York. :-)
For a moment there I feared the sands of time (and charge) might run out on little Elton, but heroically he stormed the hill, and with charge to spare. Tip top work all round..!
Oh my word. Those twisty narrow roads with sheer drops are like a Greek island. But boy was it worth it. The village is totally enchanting- even with a crazed log man !
I absolutely love your travels through the French riviera. That Citroën Ami is so damn cute too. Hopefully, we will have it here in Fabulous Las Vegas. Especially for the price, we would buy that to zip around to nearby local places.
Love this channel, and the places you are visiting, the animated creche are great. We do think the Jesus looked a bit like Boris Johnson though, he was particularly large in comparison to the Mary and Joseph 😂😂 love it ❤️
Love your channel. Only came across it last week. Spent this weekend binge watching all your previous posts. Stuck in Hong Kong due to ridiculous pandemic measures. Hope I get the chance to spend some time exploring the French Riviera guided by your recommendations in the future!
Came to watch the Ami at work, stayed for the stunning views and child like wonder of the animated creches. Fantastic stuff thank u both for another mini tour of your world.
Great content again. Always makes me smile and miss the cote d'azur. The inter action between you both is priceless and as much as it was a mistake it was good to learn about that tunnel.
My favourite video so far. Definitely will go there one day (we have a Jaguar IPace at the moment, so hope it will fit in the parking spaces). “Looks like Matthew Kelly”, the LogMan of Alcatraz, Mr Boo with his finger in the hole ….. 😂
Loved your video. We love Gorbio. Met the mayor when we were there. Looks like he has a new career Coming back this June. We must meet you guys. So fun.
Love to do that climb on my recumbent e-trike. Even better would be the run down! What a destination - so many things to show us and talk about. Thanks for taking us up there.
I'm hooked! Your MonAmi travel vlogs are stunning, humorous and very entertaining.. You, Mr Boo and Elton make a great team.... Love travelling the south of France with you guys! ❤😂🚙
Such a great little hilltop town with outstanding views, there is actually a bus from Menton that goes up there... but not nearly as much fun as driving Elton with Mr. Boo!
What distance can you do on a charge in such hilly terrain ? What a beautiful place gorbio is. Love the Nativity scenes , wish we had animated ones here
@@MeandMonAmi cool , here in Oban theirs a major shortage of working charge points. Last summer was mayhem. What's it like on the Riviera. How much is it per kWh on average ?
Guys, as always a fantastic video with beautiful images of the area. Changing music makes it even more pleasant to watch, despite the fact that Pandemonium is a beautiful song. Going downhill is a heavy load on the brakes for a car with a petrol engine where you can brake on the engine. How's that with a Citroen Ami? Have a nice and surprising week and see you next time.
Thanks Alex. We are attempting to ration Pandemonium but…; the Ami can brake a little on the engine and that way is meant to regenerate power a little (I think). But you are right my e bike brakes wear out round here quite quickly!
Another wonderful day out. Love the scenery and great info on the area visited. We'll documented and love the music. Thanks for doing what you both do. Epic viewing. :-)
Lovely video as usual and love the touch of the personal you give to it. Love that you both are yourselves! also at 17.57 when you narrated an anecdote about your mum you reminded of Alan Bennett in 'A chip in the sugar'. Maybe it was your accent? Or not...forgive me I'm not English.
@@MeandMonAmi one of the things I Love about your channel is the fact that you take your time to reply to your fans 🙂 I really appreciate that ☺️ thank you ❤️
What an adventure…. Always think poor Mr Boo gets kicked out of the AMI to shoot the B roll and wonder what if you can’t turn round to pick him up and he’s stuck on the side of the road somewhere 🚙
So which vids of urs would you recommend to get some context and how you began/decided on your journey, etc. Sorry only been following your journey since November.
I love your videos, the Ami brought me here, and now I have fallen in love with the location! Also-What suckers do you use within the car for your cameras?
Good idea I shall try and remember. They are all shot the week they come out. Temp up there ranged from about 12 to 3. In the sun you can eat out. No sun and it’s winter woolies time!
@@MeandMonAmi thanks. I'm from Ireland, but live in Missouri. My wife and I are fantasizing about owning a small apartment or terraced house in the Nervia Valley to use as a staging point to explore Europe. Do you recommend the area? Lots of relatively inexpensive property, especially when comparing it to Ireland. Love the show, keep the facts coming Mr Boo. Joe.
Ode to the Gorbio Logman It is not growing like a tree in bulk, makes Logman better be; or standing long an elm three hundred year, to fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere; (With apologies to Ben Johnson)
The electric car era has created a new malady: range anxiety. My gasoline powered car has a very annoying fuel gauge. The fuel tank only holds 34 liters. At about 10 liters left, an annoying "time to refuel" light goes on. When the needle hits absolute bottom past the "E" sign, it still has 4 liters left. So I can drive quite far when the fuel gauge is showing E. I guess driving on that last 4 liters creates a type of range anxiety. That Pandemonium song is very catchy. I think I heard it on your videos first.
Yes though it’s been a while since that video Stuart and we suffer a lot less range anxiety than we did. As you say with your fuel gauge you kind of know how to read it eventually. Famous last words..
For us the charging is part of the journey and we plan it around lunch/ coffee etc. But these are obviously 80km round trips. When we venture further afield it will be interesting to see what happens
@@MeandMonAmi lucky that your area seems not that cold or your range will drastically reduced. My Mini SE range can go down from 220 km to 175 km after i put on winter tires, then go down to 100 km if it gets real cold. I think that i will only go far with my EV and trust public chargers only after more gas companies are in the game and to have their stations more reliable and maintained. But they still need lots of space to make sure that it’s easy to charge the cars. I think that most realistic future of EV can only happen if 80-90% of parking spot have option to charge the cars. Otherwise, forget people taking EVs for road trips. I won’t take my Mini for road trips for sure.
This channel is true hidden gem of youtube. Beautiful places, very interesting storries. Because of you guys, i love Cote d'Azur even more :) Cheers from Poland!
Thanks so much! Please help spread the word if you can.
Definitely Agreed! Laurie NZ

Thanks Audrey. So pleased you are enjoying. Please spread the word.
Many thanks boys for your videos, local knowledge and humour. I guess it’s a tough job but someone has to do it! Enjoy the ride in Elton.
Thanks Richard. Please share the channel with anyone you think may enjoy. Makes a big difference!
One day! One day the log man will watch your videos and sue you for slander 😉🤣🤣🤣
Another beautiful one. i loved the creche with the bicycle chain drive...
He will! Thanks
Hi there, it’s Dena. Absolutely fantastic! I can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching. You are funny, informative and make me long to return. Thanks so much!
Thanks Dena. So glad you are enjoying. We are enjoying working with Elton! See you soon!
Another gem from the adventurous duo
Thanks Christopher
Thank you for visiting Gorbio! It's our second favorite hilltop town after Sainte-Agnes. You have brought back wonderful memories. One of these days we hope to be back. Have a great week, Tim and Mr. Boo. See you next Sunday night! Bye for now from New York. :-)
Thanks Carol. They are both gorgeous aren’t they? Please share the vids with anyone you think might enjoy in NYC. Would love more American viewers!
For a moment there I feared the sands of time (and charge) might run out on little Elton, but heroically he stormed the hill, and with charge to spare.
Tip top work all round..!
Thanks Catadorish!
Just fabulous! I shall never look at my village with the same eyes! So brilliant as always xxx
Thanks Jilly. Another viewer tells me the log man was the mayor!
@@MeandMonAmi yes, in fact our ex-mayor. He's mostly walking with the log man. Michel has a red shirt on. Sure you met him one time.
Oh my word. Those twisty narrow roads with sheer drops are like a Greek island. But boy was it worth it. The village is totally enchanting- even with a crazed log man !
Ha. It is genuinely enchanting and loggy!
thankyou . i found it and i love it ,good tune, thanks.x
Bravo Les Gars! Love it. x
Merci!
Thanks - impressed with the Ami’s climbing capabilities
Elton’s doing well so far!
Your best video ever. Everything was interesting, beautiful and funny. Thanks so much, I enjoyed it tremendously.
Thanks Pat. High praise!
I absolutely love your travels through the French riviera. That Citroën Ami is so damn cute too. Hopefully, we will have it here in Fabulous Las Vegas. Especially for the price, we would buy that to zip around to nearby local places.
Thanks Charles. Mon Ami in Vegas now there’s a video!
Just a wonderful trip love you two and your fantastic story’s of all the small beautiful towns of the south of France
Thank you 😊
Thanks Mette. So pleased you are still enjoying!
Oh, Mr. Fountain! Think of the children (and squeamish adults) with the raw beuf full screen shots! Quel courage tu as eu!
Sorry!
Love this channel, and the places you are visiting, the animated creche are great. We do think the Jesus looked a bit like Boris Johnson though, he was particularly large in comparison to the Mary and Joseph 😂😂 love it ❤️
Thanks. We love an animated crèche!
Love your channel. Only came across it last week. Spent this weekend binge watching all your previous posts. Stuck in Hong Kong due to ridiculous pandemic measures. Hope I get the chance to spend some time exploring the French Riviera guided by your recommendations in the future!
Thanks Martin. Hope you make it down here soon!

Great content again. Always makes me smile and miss the cote d'azur. The inter action between you both is priceless and as much as it was a mistake it was good to learn about that tunnel.
Thanks Paul. Monaco is snakes and ladders with tunnels!
My favourite video so far. Definitely will go there one day (we have a Jaguar IPace at the moment, so hope it will fit in the parking spaces). “Looks like Matthew Kelly”, the LogMan of Alcatraz, Mr Boo with his finger in the hole ….. 😂
Thanks Ali. It’s a fabulous if hair raising drive!
Loved your video. We love Gorbio. Met the mayor when we were there. Looks like he has a new career Coming back this June. We must meet you guys. So fun.
Was he the log man?!
@@MeandMonAmi yes with the reddish shirt
Yes to the mayor, Jan! Ex-mayor now. He had three mandates (18 years) and decided that was enough.
Love to do that climb on my recumbent e-trike. Even better would be the run down! What a destination - so many things to show us and talk about. Thanks for taking us up there.
Thanks Ant. We’ve gone even higher this week!
I have a suggested challenge for you: the ‘Principality’ of Seborga! I have been a few times over the years. Quite a curious place.
A very good idea!
You guys are fantastic! Love your videos.
Thanks Wm!
I'm hooked! Your MonAmi travel vlogs are stunning, humorous and very entertaining.. You, Mr Boo and Elton make a great team.... Love travelling the south of France with you guys! ❤😂🚙
Thanks very much! Please spread the word..
Thanks for another very entertaining video. I can’t wait to get to Gorbio, it looks divine ❤️
Thanks Zelda Gorbio is lovely
Such a great little hilltop town with outstanding views, there is actually a bus from Menton that goes up there... but not nearly as much fun as driving Elton with Mr. Boo!
Thanks Linda. Yes it’s a good bus though not for the travel sick!
What distance can you do on a charge in such hilly terrain ? What a beautiful place gorbio is. Love the Nativity scenes , wish we had animated ones here
Check out our range and bill climb videos. The crèches are very sweet.

Is it Pandemonium by Hanna Stone?
@@MeandMonAmi thank very much.
Lovely village that I’ll have to put on my list along with Eze. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks Raoul. It’s fabulous.
Great one. Will have to check out the village next time around. 🥂 Thanks you two.
Thanks Janell! It’s lovely
Lol Mr Boo does his own stunts! No stunt doubles here! Laurie NZ.
Oh yeah we like to keep it real!;
Another fab video......thanks 👍
Thanks Annie’s!
Loving this channel, only found you last week and im up to date with your Ami adventures already.
Thanks Bob. That’s heavy viewing!
Another wonderful day out. Love the scenery and great info on the area visited. We'll documented and love the music. Thanks for doing what you both do. Epic viewing. :-)
Thanks so much Tony and thanks for the Beers. Much appreciated.
@@MeandMonAmi your welcome
Lovely video as usual and love the touch of the personal you give to it. Love that you both are yourselves! also at 17.57 when you narrated an anecdote about your mum you reminded of Alan Bennett in 'A chip in the sugar'. Maybe it was your accent? Or not...forgive me I'm not English.
Thanks Mel. I was once described as ‘Alan Bennett with his pants down’. Don’t ask!
Love it!
Great fun! But did you pet the kitties?
But of course!
if i have a AMI and plan on long trips. i would investigate having a solar systems in it. i should do it for my mini SE
Would it generate enough power?
@@MeandMonAmi probably too many panels to fit in the little AMI to carry aroubd
I love that music. That girl has a fabulous voice. May we know who it is?
It’s Pandemonium by Hanna Stone
@@MeandMonAmi Thank you!
The raw beef is something I need to try 😅
Definitely I love it and it’s very healthy!
@@MeandMonAmi one of the things I Love about your channel is the fact that you take your time to reply to your fans 🙂 I really appreciate that ☺️ thank you ❤️
i loved your video. have you been in Mougins?
Not yet..
Nice video top ❤
What an adventure…. Always think poor Mr Boo gets kicked out of the AMI to shoot the B roll and wonder what if you can’t turn round to pick him up and he’s stuck on the side of the road somewhere 🚙
I wouldn’t leave him at the side of the road. Who knows what might happen!
Great video as usual. Do you think your turtle on your dash is maybe a tortoise. Keep up the fab adventures.
You could be right! I shall investigate!
So which vids of urs would you recommend to get some context and how you began/decided on your journey, etc. Sorry only been following your journey since November.
Thanks Mel. I’d say the ‘what have we done?’ Video is where our car journey began and is explained I think!
@@MeandMonAmi Thank you!
Hi guys, I really love your videos! Which provider do you use to access the charging stations? Alizé ? Thanks
Thanks Andrea. We have Prise for Nice and then charge pass for everything else. Not sure yet whether it does everything else!
I love your videos, the Ami brought me here, and now I have fallen in love with the location! Also-What suckers do you use within the car for your cameras?
Thanks Simon. They are the go pro suckers though I have heard that there are cheaper copies!
@@MeandMonAmi It's Simeon and thanks for the quick reply! 😀
Gazilions🤣😂🤣😂👍👍
Great content as ever guys, that song ‘Pandemonium’ is beautiful, never heard it before but it’s perfect for your vids. 👍
Thanks very much. We’re addicted to it!
It would be nice to know the time and temperature when you do these great outings.
Good idea I shall try and remember. They are all shot the week they come out. Temp up there ranged from about 12 to 3. In the sun you can eat out. No sun and it’s winter woolies time!
Love this channel what soft wear u use for vids xx thx
I edit in LumaFusion on iPad pro
What is the music and artist in this video? Great stuff BTW. Joe.
Gosh it’s a while since we recorded it! Possible pandemonium by Hanna stone?
@@MeandMonAmi thanks. I'm from Ireland, but live in Missouri. My wife and I are fantasizing about owning a small apartment or terraced house in the Nervia Valley to use as a staging point to explore Europe. Do you recommend the area?

Love the show, keep the facts coming Mr Boo. Joe.
So can we hope to visit Peillon, Peille, St Agnes and La Turbie with you?
Steady On DP;!
it looks like after the tunnel you arrived again in Monaco?
We arrived directly by the petrol station as you cross the border from France into Monaco. I was gutted!
@@MeandMonAmi was the tunnel for Ami, it looks very long! But the route at Cote would be more nice ;-)
I think we were legal!
great stuff ,but whats the music ?.
Pandemonium by Hanna Stone
Idyllic location love the car.
Ode to the Gorbio Logman
It is not growing like a tree

Ha! He was apparently Mayor of Gorbio for 18 years!
Passing through Gorbio, stop. Your last hour awaits you??? I wonder what to think of that. 😮
That sounds more credible! Thanks.
Does Mr. Boo never take the wheel?
He did in one video when we went off road. He’s threatening to do more driving in 2023

I'm always impressed with your sense of adventure in what is designed to be a town car. One question does the battery recharge on the long descents?
Yes I hope it lasts! It does recharge and downhill it obviously uses less power but I think it’s a relatively small gain. Should do a test!
use Waze you brilliant bastards!
Is that a lube or a map?
Great Videos, only the Electric car stuff is a bit Boring 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
yeah EV is not for prime time when there is just one station where you need it. and charge time is not a few mins.
