    "And God Created Woman; and the rest, as they say, is history... and Steak Tartare." Kudos to Mr. Boo for casting that hotel venue, he's indeed quite an intuitive location director, truly a remarkably moving scene. And, not just appreciated, but much loved. Thank you!

      I would love for the channel to be sponsored by Citroen! So far the content creators of the channel have fortunate enough to avoid carriageways but a fellow in Scotland wasn’t so lucky with his Ami because no alternative routes were available. Elton is living I must say, a charmed life!

    I really enjoyed the drive-through St. Tropez. It’s such a pretty place. The buildings are lovely. The hotel was very interesting. The views from the hotel are gorgeous! I’m imagining the Germans and the Italians occupying the hotel at the same time. I’ll bet the Italians dressed better for the beach. Love from Vermont

    It appears that one of the unstated benefits of driving an Ami is that because it is so slow compared to other vehicles, you rarely seem to be looking at the back of a car in front (because the have all sped away)!

    9:32 Georges Henri Pingusson 32 also known as the Latitude Hotel, opened in 1932. Its modernist design warms my heart although they never did make a commercial success out of it! A classic St Tropez landmark and the architect took full advantage of the views. 18:56 VIP Room Gioia! Everyone famous has been here and I’m sure someone with the right credentials can get in and party there. That said, your Riviera expedition turned out to be anticlimactic. St Tropez looks lifeless and sterile in the winter and you guys came along at the perfect time to have it all to yourself! 😊
