The leaf you were eating is a nasturtium leaf. They are great for adding to salads and they grown easily in UK. The flowers are pretty too.
It looks like a great novel vacations.
It was so much fun!
Yes id prefer your boat seems more cozzy and homley still brilliant experience i guess 😁
Yeah it was nice to get back to our home comforts but we’ll miss the bow thrusters!
Your boating holiday looks relaxing and fun. The plant at 18:03 is a Nasturtium leaf. Both the leaves and flowers are very tasty in salads and soups :)
Thank you! Yes that's the one!
We had a holiday at Homps, great market and music.
Ahh lovely!
Aww these last couple of videos make me want to cruise the canals of France and beyond. I love the idea of travelling with a boat home.
It was stunning and a great change from the English canals!
Wow the locks look awesome.
The whole trip looked amazing.
Very well done skipper and crew, great fun to watch you both.
❤❤
Thank you we had a blast!
What a properly lovely channel this is. I really enjoyed this little travel series in Le Boat. Rally enjoyed it, thank you.
Ah thank you very much! We had a blast.
The leaf is a nasturtium.
That's the one!
I thought there was some really first class editing on this one. Especially liked the fade out with the time lapse looking back at the boat with it's lights on as it went dark. Also, have to say I just adore the times when Danni is trying to get the name of a town or some other word correct. Priceless
Thanks Paul really appreciate it! 😂 yeah she cracks me up!
It’s a nasturtium! Peppery to taste and u can eat the flowers as well xxx
That's the one!
Nasturtiums… yummy on pizza with goats cheese & beetroot 😍👍🏼 looks like you had a great time, & such a pretty route!
Oooooh that sounds great! Thank you!
Also, the flowers are tasty and beautiful in a salad with baby greens! Nice subtle pepper flavor :)
I'm a Springbok watching your channel from sunny South Africa Mosselbay
Bet you enjoyed the game more than we did! 😂
Great video. Have a safe flight home.
Thank you!
Lucky with the weather nice views and all looks fun enjoy UK
Yeah we did really well with the weather! Thank you
The bow thrusters will have made you soft by the time you get back to your narrow boat. 😂
Hahaha we enjoyed them very much!
Everything there seems so much more open, more spacious. It's beautiful, but in a different way than your narrow boat in England, which I also like. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Yeah exactly that. It’s nice to get a feel for other countries water ways. This canal is so wide compared to ours! 😂
Always a joy the watch ! Thank you . Glad you had a great time ❤
Thank you!
Your narrowboat is way more homely, and Joe worked so hard to build.
Yeah I know what you mean!
That French onion soup looked amazing you should open a narrow boat cafe x
That would be the dream! We love cooking ❤️
Your mystery leaf is the Nasturtium. The flowers are actually the tastiest bit and make a great addition to salads.
That’s the one! Will keep an eye out for the flowers in season
Awwwww... was lovely to watch guys ❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Really enjoyed video, and after our narrowboat adventure on the Macclesfield and Peak Forest this year, we’re excited to try Le Boat in France with the entire family! P.S. - should’ve eaten out more! Haha
Amazing! I really want to take my parents out on one next year, I think it would be a proper laugh with a few of you!. Yes definitely regret not eating out, the days went so quickly though!
Grand trip nice to see the joy on your faces glad it all went so well tc both till next time the oldies 🤗🤗👍
Thanks guys!
hi i reckon you should give river cruising on the norfolk broads and i would recommend booking with either richrdsons in stalham or barnes brinkcraft in wroxham its easy to get to both places
Another great video and the scenery beautiful and you both made it look so easy driving that boat.
And all that room for you both it must have felt different compared to your narrow boat which I think it is a cosy little home .
Thank you! We had a blast. Would love to explore more of France's canals. Yeah completely different to the narrow!
Looks like you both had a amazing time
Ahh it was amazing!
What a lovely trip! Thanks for taking us along your holiday 😊. Love the channel, you’re such a lovely young couple ❤
Thank you very much!
Well done worth thinking about a holiday next year looking forward to seeing you both in London 😘
😂 absolute carnage with all of us aboard! I'll see what I can do

Steins journey on the canal de midi way back..???? We are enjoying all your videos whether in the UK or elsewhere...thank you !
Thanks for watching! Ahh yes you could be right I’ll watch it back, we did watch a load of the celebs cruising this canal for inspiration!
Your leaf was a Nasturtium.....
That’s the one!
Looks like you had a fantastic trip guys, not jealous at all 😂
That French onion soup looked delicious 😋
P.s. you entertain us too Joe 😉
Our favourite soup!!
@DanniandJoe understandable. Which recipe do you use or is it your own? 😉
@@shoreylife we always use the Riverford recipe - www.riverford.co.uk/recipes/french-onion-soup but always double it as it's never enough! & make sure to use red wine & beef stock especially this time of year!
Hi guys, the peppery leaves you ate were nasturtiums 👍
Love the vlogs
That's them! Thank you!
You were in a lovely part of France my wife and I had a house on the coast near Perpignan for 25 years and we loved it down there.❤
Ah wow I bet that was gorgeous!
Hi guys, we are due to start our life on water early next year and wonder if you can please tell us where you purchased your screw mooring pins and mooring pin extractor from? Thanks Jan & Mike
Sorry for the delay! This is the kit we bought first which contained the handle etc - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275729779300?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=4bUF247CTB2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4htFw773Ree&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Then at a later date I seen some longer red pins but can’t see them on eBay any more!
I really enjoy your videos... but Joe, those shorts!!
"They're the best shorts in the world" - Pat Butcher
@@DanniandJoe 😂 love it
Great video, love your choice of music in all your videos. I am a French resident and was looking to go back to uk and buy a narrow boat as after 15 years I am feeling a little home sick but after seeing this I wonder if I should give the canals here a go first. Just out of interest, on the manned locks is there a fee or are they all free. Looking forward to your next video.
Le Boat site says the cost of the locks are included in the base boat price.
Hi guys great vid. Do you think the locks would be ok for a uk narrow boat to use. As I am thinking of putting mine into France. ?
Yeah we passed around 10 narrowboats in total so they must get on fine - also check out the book 'Narrow Dog To Carcassonne' if you haven't already - true story about a couple taking theirs down to where we finished!
Joe what do you work at when not boating 🛶
This is my full time job now believe it or not! I spend roughly 3 days a week editing the videos and admin - the rest of the week we're usually cruising and filming!
Does the $1800 include the gas and insurance?
STOP making coffee
