Lovely place
It was Sean. Very beautiful indeed. 💜🤟
enjoyed this
Glad to hear it Ricardo. Thanks for watching. 💜🤟
What a cute village. It looks like one of those villages in a coloring book and as you color it in you are thinking… I wish there really was a little village like the one in this coloring book. And THERE IS!! Xanadu found it!!! 😊
What a fabulous comment. We refer to them as "chocolate box" villages, because they often used to have places like this on the front of boxes of chocolates, but we love your description better. 😍
Thank-you so much for watching.
Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Upside-down signs are a form of protest by farmers. "The upside-down signs first appeared in Tarn, Occitanie, and have spread nationally, but it is in Brittany that they are the most visible.
The act is a protest by local farmers to raise visibility of the challenges they face.
“More and more norms, regulations, and restrictions are being foisted on French farmers,” the Jeunes Agriculteurs (JA) d'Ille-et-Vilaine group told The Connexion. Imported products are not subject to all this."
Wow Paulette,
Thanks for letting us know. We had no idea. We're glad we noticed them. Very subtle protest though. 💜🤟
Looks lovely, and like you say, would be stunning in the summer (if a lot busier). We like France and have visited various parts but yes, always found it significantly more expensive.
We intend to see.more of France when we leave the UK, but we won't be able to afford to do it all at once. We'll have to see France a bit at a time. 🤣💜🤟
Nothing quite like wandering around these random villages that seem off the beaten track, very pretty and I do think French buildings are our favourite from the few countries we've seen on our travels.
We are determined to try one of those pizza vending machines next time we cross over!
Yes France is eye wateringly pricey at times, and even though the gap isn't big, definitely more so than the UK we thought? This menu of the day stuff though, we were always rubbish at finding those because we were too scared our language failings would cause us to wander in with no clue what to do....need to be bolder I think! Luckily for us we lived exclusively on a diet of red wine, cheese and bread in France, about the only affordable things 😂
Haha we ate a lot of bread and hummus in France. Needed a mortgage for most other things. 🫣💜🤟
Did you find a dinosaur? 😆. Hope you’re both well and warm? 👋😊
Haha nope, you can tell the geologist that there were definitely NO dinosaurs to be found in these caves. 🤣💜🤟
hi, the upside-down signs are done by the local farmer to express their anger against some new gov. laws & taxation. by the way we enjoyed your tour. thanks for that
Fraydoon & Ania
Hi Fraydoon and Ania..!
We're so glad that you enjoyed the video..! Thank-you so much for the information about the farmers. It's often difficult for us to find information like this on the internet.
Much love Alison and Darren 💜🤟
Which town was it, I can’t see it mentioned?
Hi Pam,
The town on the hill was called Domme. The river side town was called La Roque-Gageac. Is saying that we were at Domme must have been left on the cutting room floor. Many apologies and thanks for watching/noticing. 💜🤟
the French are the 2nd largest consumers of pizza in the world, behind the USA and far ahead of Italy :)
Hi Martel,
Having seen the amount of pizzerias, we can well believe it. 🤣😂
Thanks for the info.💜🤟
Now THAT is booooooring 😴😴😴😴😴😴👎👎👎👎
Thanks for watching anyway.🫣 Sorry it wasn't your cup of tea. 😬💜🤟
