I have to say that I love how you stop in the churches on your village stops… we do as well… I’m not religious but I do love them… the art, the architecture and the beautiful sense of calm …💜
Exactly they are magical places
No live animal show but at least we got to see the giant baby 22:02 😅
You can’t have everything!
The lunch looked fan-tas-tic! Good to see that you were still able to walk afterward for the nice christmassy shots and the views from above.
It was!
I grew up in the 80’s and remember playing with a big yellow teapot 🤣
I think they were quite popular!
I bet you're never going to let Mr Boo live that down about the animal less procession! The scent of wood burning stoves and mountain air must have been magical. Reminded me of my childhood Christmas spent in Italy .Great video as always. ❤
Too right I was conned. Glad you enjoyed it was a lovely afternoon.
Wonderful video! Your meal looks delicious! I really enjoyed seeing the kids in the nativity play. The drone shots were gorgeous! The snow affect was a very nice touch.❄️ Happy Advent from Vermont
Thanks Rebecca. They were so lovely and you forget how embarrassed kids are to be on stage and what a useful life skill it is!
Wit Woo Mr Boo...lovely jacket and t shirt ❤...i remember the Big Yellow Teapot,the Big Red Bus and lots of other toys,i worked in the Bluebird Toy Factory in Swindon that manufactured them all for 3 mnths in 1984 😂
Again,thank you so much for a wonderful Sunday evening vlog watch ❤ Take care guys x....and the foodies looked tremendous, well envious x
What a lovely coincidence!
Another great video, loved seeing how Christmas is celebrated in the south of france, bit disappointed I didn’t get to a Christmas hamster though 🤣🤣
Indeed!! Blame Mr Boo!;
@@MeandMonAmi I’m trying to brush up on my French using Duolingo and would love to be as fluent as Mr Boo. I think they probably said there would be animals as a way to entice people to Castagniers Christmas festivities, besides anyone else under the same assumption got to see the lovely Twiggy ❤️
That was a stunning village with beautiful views and lunch looked Mmmmm, until next week stay charged 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Bobby
OMG😯 that grandmother made onion soap looked yummie😋🤩..and the yellow tea pot did ring a memory jingle bell🤔😄😇 am I that old?!?!😅😊🎉 thanks for the vlog🎉❤
Thanks glad you enjoyed the teapot
How's about an eBook of resto reviews? There was a touch of the Grinch in this episode..:)
Moi?! Good idea!
@@MeandMonAmi pourquoi pas? Now this will test your memory, you could be the new Arthur(s) Epron. Back in the day the BBC’’s Holiday programme (way back) featured (cocaine) Frank Bough and his wife Nesta following Enron’s routes around France, based on great places to eat like a local. My mum and dad followed those routes and we had a whale of a time. Why not do fun routes for your viewers with great places to nosh, like a local? I would buy it and I have been here for over 10 years.
Great video as always. I even got my wife to watch (she declined in the past as she thought it was a car channel 😂) - she really enjoyed too. Thank you for all the hard work that you invest in putting these videos together 🙏
Thanks for watching and I’m pleased you wife is onside
Another charming village . You find the most wonderful eating places . Don’t remember the big yellow tea pot but remember the yellow submarine….. love the chat to camera in the Ami ,you have know idea what’s coming next ,and neither does mr.boo I suspect.great stuff as usual.
Ah the yellow sub. I certainly have no idea what coming next!
What a magical place and that view across to the mountains is just stunning. You guys certainly can sniff out a good restaurant. No wonder Mr Boo struggled with that daube and how many ducks were on your plate Tim? That was certainly worth the money. Thanks for yet another fab video! ❤
Thanks Andy. This was a lucky find but it’s really lovely. I can feel the warmth of the place now. The duck was VERY big!
The wife had a big yellow tea so much fun she loved it.
Absolutely a tour de force.
( Is that correct 😮)
You've certainly started the Christmas experience with lots of fun and a giggle ...🎉
Totally appreciated and enjoyable..thank you so much from frozen England.
The food looked so special, who doesn't like onion soup?, and Mr. Boo's set menu is to die for.
I do wonder if the local folk in the villages you visit realise what a super advert you make about their homes?
I laughed so much I had to enter my own antacid trip.
No other vloggeristas span from Thomas Hardy to Big Yellow Teapots
Brilliant...
( As I sip my tea in my "Me and Mon Ami" mug)
Happy Christmas to you all.
ML
Bless you. Yes I’m not sure the algorithm truly appreciates what I think young people call diversity but glad you do!
Mr Boo we all have an antacid period ! 😂
omg the portion sizes
Yes BIG
After that huge lunch and the steep drive home you might be breaking some Ami speed records on the way home.
I wish!
Saw an Ami last week in the small town where I live. first time.
Where was that?
Congleton in England
Bluebird - big yellow tea pot.
Much earlier in 1969
i wanted a Johhny Seven and a Raleigh Chopper, didn't get either, just a bloody Etch a Sketch !
My etch a sketch broke. All the bits came out
Remember all that silver dust that went everywhere, when it broke, it was an environmental hazard.
I think it is the candles. Modern church candles use oil and wicks.
Could be
Your videos are getting better and better and love the humour which seemed non stop, brilliant. . Strewth that food looked fabulous too. Best wishes 😁
Thanks so much. Lovely place
I love Christmas, the whole festive atmosphere, and the Christmas markets are something so special and unique, enjoy the good weather; here in Portugal, it has been much colder and rainier.
As always, the meal is delicious, and this onion soup with cheese is a specialty, the restaurant's quality doesn't deceive; you can see it by how packed it is with customers, it's a pity there wasn't the animal parade, but even so, this week's episode is superb., Merry Christmas!
Yes we walked in and you just instantly knew from the crowd and who was in it that this would work. We’ve had some rainy days too
Ooh, that onion soup looked good, in fact it all did. Time to raid the kitchen for some scraps.
the soup was epic
Loved Mr Boos jacket , and what a lovely place, thanks again for another fab video
thanks Michelle
Wow….. I think my menu choices would be the French onion soup followed by Mr Boo’s main course…. No room for dessert!
❤❤
Omg You two crack me up. I'm still chortling hehe... Thank you. Season's greetings to you both from the North of England.
And to you!
Really enjoined the visit to Castagniers, so many reminders of magical Christmas times of childhood when some of us were lucky to miss out on the Big Yellow Tea Pot, but at 16;45, Mr. Boo's Me And Mon Ami Sleigh T-shirt is something not to miss out on (while supplies last?). The closing airborne Christmas card was lovey and something I shared with friends and a few Grinches ua-cam.com/video/KBVtD94q0sE/v-deo.html
Merry Christmas! Thanks for keeping us charged
Thanks Jack! You missed out on that teapot!
@@MeandMonAmi Well, my grandmother did get me an EasyBake Oven for Christmas (The one that cooked with a light bulb). I have no idea why, but perhaps she thought a half-French boy know how to bake. I loved that thing:
Trixie Bakes A Chocolate Cake In The 1963 Easy Bake Oven

Great content again. The one advert that sticks in my mind is "miles and miles of room, plenty of room for five", never fancied buying one mind.
what was that for?
That looked like so much fun! We haven't been to the South at Christmas (yet)!
It’s fun
Lovely little village activity. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for giving us a wonderful distraction from the grey, gloom here in the UK :)
Our pleasure!
Not the amounts of food you would expect here in the Ile de France.
Do you remember Weebles? "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!". 🙂
Loved the weebles. I had one (only one which I think I swapped for a marble)
@@MeandMonAmi that's how the Earl of Elgin started 😉
@@MeandMonAmi Ah playing marbles on a manhole cover in my primary school's playground. My Dad was a CNC machinist, so he'd bring large ball bearings home for me to use in marble games. High value!
Elton could become an excellent Dalek with your rendition of Exterminate.
He has the look!
Meal looked awesome, boys. Love seeing Mr Boo rocking his new designer T shirt, he’s just too cool for Christmas 😎
Sleigh charged all! X
He’s almost as cool as you Richard!
Big yellow teapot? Must have been some wicked acid!
Yorkshire acid
That was absolutely magical and the food amazing. Am going to make French onion soup tomorrow! 🎅
Lovely!
The 'g' in Castagnier is silent, the same as the 'p' in bath! 🤣
My mother used to say that too
Great video guys, always nice to watch, and the highlight for me is always those wonderful drone flights.
Thanks very much
I’ll swap your 12 degrees for our zero degrees here in the Netherlands today. Lunch looked amazing as was the village. Thanks again
Thanks Nicolas. Yes we’re lucky
Great and fun video! A lot was happening.😂 Mr Boo is rocking the fancy jacket and moustache.
So many Sundays, never disappoint, thank you.
Glad you like them!
Loved the video chaps, what a lovely place to visit, it makes me nostalgic for visiting France again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Castagniers was charming! Too bad the promised live animal parade was a letdown but the lunch though pricey, fulfilled your drive up there and that’s the best feature of a Sunday mountain village outing. Thanks for the review and I look forward to another Sunday Christmas video next weekend! 😊
Live animal let down!
This episode was absolutely hilarious! Ahhh...to live in the head of Tim for just one day! What fun that would be! LOL! That meal looked incredible. You two must have needed a nap after that feast! The parade/nativity was a wee bit underwhelming, but hey ho, it was sweet. Right now I am looking out at the most beautiful hoar frost that descended overnight...lovely warmish weather for us here. Anywho, great video, as per usual! BTW, I believe the concrete style that looks like wood is called 'faux bois'...
You wouldn’t want to trust me!; faux bois! That makes sense!
Big yellow teapot was the era of "bluebird toys" who were eventually taken over in the late 90's by mattel so you were half right. ..the big yellow teapot toy was on heavy advert rotation which is why it is seared into my mind.
It was on a lot wasn’t it?!
“… or maybe I was tripping… I don't know…” 🤣 BTW, great music as usual.
Thanks
Omg that meal! Soupe a l'oignon looked so yummy. Huge portions. €33 for a set menu. The duck looked wonderful and Mr Boo's dish looked great but didn't quite catch the name. Chez Michel is the name to remember. Lovely atmosphère in that village. Wonderful setting.
It was a daube à la niçoise avec jeu de bœuf!
What a wonderful video. Thank you very much. Greetings from snowy Tyrol 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Love to see some snow
I got quite teary at the Christmas parade and you fly over. Another lovely video boys. ❤
Thanks Angela
Loved the fresh music,fellas……….Was it specially for me cos I gave you a rev up?…….No,of course not!……Another gem.
Merci. We exist to please;
This was another fun episode. The lunch looked delicious again, but the parade was a bit disappointing, but all in all, again a very entertaining video!
Yes live animal let down!
Great video. Thanks!
Mister Me and Mister Boo and Elton and Twiggy 🐶 crikey that was 1 steep incline ! Fortunately no one right up your tail pipe😂 the Christmas stalls were in a beautiful setting 😊 had visions of Twiggy scenting the 🎁 😂😂 terrific drone footage & apt accompanying music Tim very well put together.! Stay safe and well and obviously stay charged 👍 💯👌
Yes she could have been the dog who ruined Christmas! Thanks David
Tim, noticed the label on your jacket, does it say Casino? Surely you haven't taken up a part-time job stacking shelves at your local supermarché. 🤣
Casino would be cooler. When I bought it I didn’t have my glasses on!
Another fabulous video, thank you
Our pleasure!
Did you get some sweets? I always wanted a Big Yellow Teapot. Lovely village and the restaurant looked fantastic. Portions were too big for me though. I would have to share the Set Menu.
Yes BIG and no sweets!!
Great video guys.
Is the car the star these days? I think Elton is being upstaged😂
Thanks Emma
Brilliant video.. So good. Thanks
Thanks
Great entertainment once again guys,thank you🎉
Thanks very much
Loving mrboos Drwho scarf
Don’t mention Dr Who!;
Great video guys. Brings back memories of mine in Paris at Christmas. Can you do a video about Christmas in France and some French traditions for Christmas. Thats always eluded e as what the full French tradition is.
I think we have something like it coming
Sweet. Loved your meals. And BTW we caught glimps if 2 basset hounds (we used to raise bassets) considered to be living animals....LOL
I think they were the live animals!
@@MeandMonAmi LOL actually some call bassets beached whales. Amazing how those long heavy bodies move when they want to.
During your antacid years!!!! We’ll swap that one for our (only) Christmas joke about advocaat being a drink made from pureed lawyers.
Not heard that one!
Thank you for showing us that cool cement waterfall fixture. It is pretty sweet. Actually I have seen something like this before in Austin, Texas, on 6th Street (party Central) on the river walk. It was cement also made to look like wood. It was awesome how realistic the effect was. Maybe the guy who built it was French.😊
I’d love to know who started it but don’t know that name of the style
Maybe the live animals ended up on the restaurant plates?
Possible!
I was a little slow reaching you today as I was walking through two feet of snow on my wanderings. It was -6C yesterday. Anyway, which doctor? Ad altiora!
That’s COLD!
Joyeux Noël
Merci and to you!
What is this good for?
If they have a live Nativity at Christmas, I hate to think what they do to some poor tall, white, blue-eyed beardy bloke at Easter! 😱😂
I hope none of the live animals made it to the restaurant. Happy Christmas 🎅
That explains it…
...yellow teapot...a song from another century...roflmao...😁
Seems like yesterday
Hand solo 😂😂😂😂
That's cold?
Freezing;
I wil receive my rocks e today🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
How exciting! The best day!
The sound is bad (also was last week) but there were no comments to that effect. So I figured it's not affecting most people, tried on a different device, sound was fine.
For diagnosis, the driver's microphone is often inaudible when watching through safari browser (on Mac) to TV via HDMI.
Fine on two of my devices could be your equipment
I think it will be to do with whether your sound is set to stereo
@@MeandMonAmi sounds plausible
I'm a little teapot,
Short and stout,
Here is my handle
Here is my spout
When I get all steamed up,
Hear me shout,
Tip me over and pour me out!
I think I sang that at school!
The animals are on strike. Obviously. One scab pony rides away.
We have the leaflet. Animals were promised! (Apparently!)
Just like that strike in Summer.
