    Kudos for taking time out with Oscar. Sometimes it's what you give back, not what you take. A tiny part of the video but I'm sure it meant a lot to him. Nice moment and says a lot about you and Kyle.

    Fantastic video as ever, loved watching your French adventures. Is it a bit late to point out that 'good morning' in French is just 'Bonjour', not 'Bon matin' (although I think they say that in Canada)? Watching you struggle to find an open shop in the villages brought back memories. I had the same experience the last time I was in France (many years ago) when I walked from Paris to Dieppe as a teenager on a bit of a whim. Everything would close for a long lunch and wouldn't reopen until about 3 o'clock. This was long before google maps or even mobile phones but somehow it's nice to see some things haven't changed! I can still remember the joy and relief when I finally found an open shop and necked a couple of litres of pineapple juice whilst marching up a hill in the boiling sun. On which note I hope Oscar had a great safe trip! (I had a few incidents that make me wince when I look back on them as an adult).

    Good job. I've been on that ferry. The white dog is a patou they are bred to live and guard the flock and they don't consider us as friends. General advice go around or divert to avoid them. There are now a lot more in the Pyrenees because of the bears..not sure why needed in north of France.

      It’s actually not too expensive in France, for example in an independent bakery a croissant & drink would be say €2.5 - €3 ~ probably in 1 200km day for (breakfast at the B&B) lunch, dinner and snacks for both of us you’re looking at around €60-70 for the day, we did have some of our own bars with us too, but that includes like a meal out in the evening with Kyle having beer, lunch really cheap baguette and fillings from a shop to make your own is a lot cheaper than buying a pre made one 🙌 we could have done it a lot cheaper by taking more of our own snacks with us & eating our for dinner at cheaper places ~ but we were on holiday & saved a bit to treat ourselves while we were there 🙌☺️
