It's so immersive and nothing seems out of place. Not a Bugatti with some audacious metrosexual loudmouth of the 20's in sight. Just fine Jaguars and fine, organic cuisine.
@MMauge pretty much all of them. He says what he wants and if you're insulted, you've chosen to be insulted. Not his fault if you're too immature to be able to keep your calm. He pushes the boundaries verbally. A very french thing to do. He obviously believes in freedom. Not rigorous rules and over politeness just for the sake of it.
Im afraid Clarkson is very much absolutely quintessentially British i love him for portraying the attitudes of the common/ cultured brit on a larger scale
Jeremy was born at the right time and the right place. He drove the best cars. Traveled all these countries when they were worth travelling to. Doing what he loved while getting paid for it.
Make sure you check out the more easterly countries! Hungary, Budapest is fantastic and also Prague is beautiful! Also probably much cheaper than the more touristy bits of europe! Good luck! Also what sort of car are you using, if you're driving
@@mr.carguy654 hi. Yup I have been away for over 3 months now. Been driving around UK, Iceland as well. Been to Budapest and going to Prague next week. Been to Poland, Oslo, Amsterdam, Italy, France, Germany, Monaco, Switzerland, Belgium etc. Europe I had a bmw Z4 for most of it. Got a Mercedes slk for Spain and Portugal at the end of this month.
I've been following Clarkson and Top Gear for almost 20 years and somehow never knew about this series. Really amazing and I especially love the early 2000s vibe. What a great time it was.
I lived in northern France for a few months and it was fantastic.. On the shore of lake Geneva in a town call Thonon le Bain near Evian.. and lived in a luxurious 2story penthouse with a private wine cellar and rooftop swimming pool..So spoiled.. and lucky to have rich friends..The French are awesome but because they love their language and don’t like to speak other languages poorly they are quite guarded about it.. bur once in a while you meet a nice young French couple who’ve spent time in US/UK and they want to practice speaking English.. It happened on our ski trip to Avorriaz.. We met a couple who taught tennis and they invited us to their home for coffee and a nice joint..That’s what traveling is all about 👍🏼🙏
Not sure I got you right but I’m quite certain Thonon is not northern France by any way. Anyway it’s wonderful place and so is Northern France so you can’t be wrong neither way 😂
I'm from Savoie (the region of Thonon) and I can tell you it's not considered Northerly for us French :) But you're right, it's a shame that few French can speak English properly. It's getting better with younger generations so there's a hope of improvement for the future ! However I don't think we are the worst on that matter. I've travel in almost every country in Europe and South/Slavic countries are definitly worse than us.
It may surprise you to know that, in France, there always has been a lot of people absolutely taken and passionate about English literature, history and culture.
@@RickieBeubie 100% is maybe exagerated , but yes Top Gear with the "dream team" (Geeza, Hamster & Cap'tain Slow) was successful among French petrolheads.
The songs playing in here best describes how the late 90s to early 2000s BBC was. They were always into electronica and downtempo music. Now, that’s my favorite era for BBC.
Excellent video! I have traveled to many countries and retired working for an international company based in France. I have traveled to France on business and pleasure. Very interesting culture. Many years ago, my French colleagues complained about immigration and degradation of French culture. That concern appears to have dramatically accelerated to include Europe in general and the US. Very sad cultures have been diluted due to globalization.
Remember visiting Paris as a boy. No tunnel to the Arc de Triomphe then, so my hostess told me just to walk out into the traffic going round it. I did, and the cars made way for me, both going across and returning. No one hooted or complained and Parisian drivers gained my immediate admiration.
I remember watching this first time round and LOVED it! It’s where my love affair of the Jaguar Etype first started. Always tried to find it and there are some crap recordings of it on Daily Motion but it’s great to see the original in its full glory. Thanks Fifth Gear. M
3:05 The Grid - Floatation. A classic tune released in 1990 when I was only eight years old. Sadly, it's widely unknown here in Germany. So actually, this episode brought me to get to know this beautiful track, hence many years were passing by before I discovered this tune. Thanks to Jeremy Clarkson's staff being responsible for the brilliant music in JCMTN!
One of my schoolmates was half French. He said, one time his grandmother came over and she asked why we didnt shoot and eat the ducks in the park. Classic.
That headmistress, she's gold "I can understand if in 10 years, my husband has a mistress. I will be happy, maybe a little jealous, but I will understand" The French man, they are a trip.
amazing to see him with Kersauzon, who was kind of a French Clarkson himself also, everything Jeremy loved about France is now long gone : laisser-faire, lack of automatic speed cameras, ...
Well she was there to make him attractive to women, so I don#t know what's strange about that. If she had been advising him on making himself attractive to other men, he would have been wearing leather chaps and no underwear, which would have admittedly made for a comical sight.
The town of Flers in Normandy installed their first roundabout in the early 2000's, with the rule being that cars ON the roundabout must give way to traffic joining on the right (much like some of their usual T junctions etc.). My Dad used to spend hours sat in the hostelry across from this roundabout laughing his head off as it repeatedly got gridlocked with only about 6 cars.
I love how clarkson and crew always shit on wherever they are at the beginning, and then show you a different perspective and highlight the beauty and eccentricity of the culture. Great way of doing it
Thanks for this upload. It was fun to watch. France was so much more fun around 80-90. Nowadays... only the crazy traffic... is even more crazy in Paris.
I believe the reason why the French live longer is because they do most of the preparations. Where as here in America and a good portion of England just about everything is either fake or loaded with additives which are unhealthy. Granted yes wine does have properties which are healthy but if you look over the ingredients between a average home cooked meal between an American and a French family there is a huge difference....
Cook from scratch, that way you don't eat too much, it's a greater satisfaction when you eat it, it costs less, you will loose weight slowly and keep it off for good, you learn and teach others with new skills.
@Freddie Pepper doesn't matter big or small markets. Live in Wisconsin. Cows more often enough getting injections of all kinds to keep them healthy. Plenty of statements out there taking it easy with antibiotics because of the amounts used in cows. They cost big money these days despite the higher popularity over the years. More and more adjustments in food for agricultural developments. Not necessarily good. Even if you go vegan the amount of pesticides used is questionable. Sure you can self produce but that's a lot of work if you're working to keep what you got already. I can keep going but you get the idea. Processed foods, don't get me started.
@@freddiepepper6085hes speaking for the industries that make billions off selling those ready made meals and junk food, they wouldn't make so much money if people werent buying them its clear to see
The place de l'Etoile is infamous for being a big roundabout, where people already on it don't have priority over people arriving from the boulevards. In fact, the day i got my drivers license, my mother took me to the Place de l'Etoile, gave me the steering wheel and simply said: "we need to get to the other side, good luck".
Let's be honest, us Europeans might have some differences, but apart from the stereotypes wich sometimes date back from medieval times, we're pretty much the same. That's why Europe is possible, we share the same roots, with just small differences wich makes us specials. Although nowadays I feel that even these differences starts to shade away. I travelled to all western Europeans countries, but being from Southwest France I went to Spain at least twice a year since I'm a child. When I was young in the 90's you could tell it was a different country, but slowly the only difference became that we don't speak the same language. I really wish we could keep our strong identities, we Europeans sure have everything we need to be proud of those.
I am from Texas and have never gotten the opportunity of stepping outside of the United States. Would you care to give me a perspective of what France is like to the average person nowadays? I’m very interested!
@@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial : Well, first a lot of immigration, too many muslims and leftists protecting them whatever they have done. Then, the government which is actually denying french culture and selling our patrimony, let's be honest, mostly to american companies like Blackrock, MacKinsley, General electrics, etc... And they're trying to steal every euro french own for the richest 1% making more and more debt and laws. Schools are not teaching anymore but a lot of LGBT ideology, you can wait 12 to 20 hours in an hospital before they can take care of you, and protesters are bullied by the police (gilets jaunes), no liberty of expression anymore... France is slowly but surely turning into a dictature where 99% of the poorest french people will own nothing and die...
@@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial Don't worry about him, he's just some delusional loser who probably spends his time complaining about young people being woke, not having a 100% white demographics and not being able to openly say the stupidest crap publicly anymore.
The communists hijacked our “democracies” in secret. Today they are comfortable enough to go out in the open because they established domion over all the institutions and poisoned our communities via “education” and mass migration.
Back then in France it was free, 120mph straight past a police car was normal and you smoked where you like, it changed very soon after and now is unrecognisable with near authoritarian levels of control. Shame that you've edited these slightly, I guess modern Britain can't take the real Clarkson
You're in my home country. Amazing to "sea" you here Diane!! If you fancy a couple cocktails down in Plymouth, do let me know. Wishing you a nice time despite the poor Summer we're having. Hugs. x
Princess Hermine de Clermont - Tonnerre died at the young age of 54 in 2020 following a motorcycle accident. This episode was very enjoyable. It pays a wonderful tribute to France whilst being sarcastic in a way that Clarkson only can do. He balances it well by making fun of the UK at the same time too.

The first song is "should I stay or should I go" by The Clash.
Recorded in 1981 and released in May 1982.

fair point I have to say

Would you care to give me a perspective of what France is like to the average person nowadays? I’m very interested!
@@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial : Well, first a lot of immigration, too many muslims and leftists protecting them whatever they have done.
Then, the government which is actually denying french culture and selling our patrimony, let's be honest, mostly to american companies like Blackrock, MacKinsley, General electrics, etc...
And they're trying to steal every euro french own for the richest 1% making more and more debt and laws.
Schools are not teaching anymore but a lot of LGBT ideology, you can wait 12 to 20 hours in an hospital before they can take care of you, and protesters are bullied by the police (gilets jaunes), no liberty of expression anymore...
France is slowly but surely turning into a dictature where 99% of the poorest french people will own nothing and die...
Sorry to hear that, AMERICA sure ain't what it used to be either.😢

don't trust a random guy on youtube !
@@ClaytonBrownMusicOfficial Don't worry about him, he's just some delusional loser who probably spends his time complaining about young people being woke, not having a 100% white demographics and not being able to openly say the stupidest crap publicly anymore.
The music in this episode is Perfect!
super entertaining, amazing classic jeremy
I've been watching Clarkson for so long - I recognized all the gags from the Grand Tour French Episode from this..and still laughed!
"That's because there is dog shit all over Paris" Haha. Great comeback!
Thats a WILD first 45 seconds, even by Clarksons standards!
I can't believe this was 20 years ago. What happened? lol
The communists hijacked our “democracies” in secret. Today they are comfortable enough to go out in the open because they established domion over all the institutions and poisoned our communities via “education” and mass migration.
These videos r amazing
Well, I enjoyed that. Can't wait for the Belgium episode. ✌️🇬🇧
The Belgian penguin guy is hilarious.
@@bicyclist2 absolutely fella, nearly weed myself ✌️🇬🇧
Thank you for upload this, pls do all episodes
Back then in France it was free, 120mph straight past a police car was normal and you smoked where you like, it changed very soon after and now is unrecognisable with near authoritarian levels of control. Shame that you've edited these slightly, I guess modern Britain can't take the real Clarkson
Extremist left government to thank for.
great program, Thank you so much. Tony.
I thought Clarkson took over Fifth gear for a second : )
You're in my home country. Amazing to "sea" you here Diane!! If you fancy a couple cocktails down in Plymouth, do let me know. Wishing you a nice time despite the poor Summer we're having. Hugs. x
It's Kelly by the way. 44 female..Hope you're enjoying the stay. x
Princess Hermine de Clermont - Tonnerre died at the young age of 54 in 2020 following a motorcycle accident.
This episode was very enjoyable. It pays a wonderful tribute to France whilst being sarcastic in a way that Clarkson only can do. He balances it well by making fun of the UK at the same time too.
Did not hear of that :(
Such a beauty
Never knew he did this series. Can you upload the others? Thanks.
Can't imagine the BBC allowing someone to say daigos, ities, frogs, bubbles huns and boshs nowadays as a comical introduction to a programme 😳
Brilliant love this because there's far too much anti French stuff out there. Beautiful country France full of lovely people.
It was
its from 2002, but it has that pleasant 90s style way of producing TV...
Please upload the Belgium episode next :D
Great series, great episode, great car.
Magnifique Monsieur Clarkson
the sound director is genius
Thank you for posting these.
Classic Clarkson. Wonderful stuff.
“You understand?”
“I understand the words…” 😂😂
