My parents used to go there for about 3 weeks every year in late October and better half of November. They really loved the place. When my dad died in 2008 my mum went several times with friends mostly the same time of the year. My parents used to go for dinner at The African Queen restaurant once or twice during each stay. Thanks for bringing back nice memories.
I love these, and I share little snippets of information with my husband who asks, 'how do you know that then?' ' Because Tim said so', I reply. Then he goes off and watches the video himself which usually starts another discussion, it's just great, thank you.
Love all the historical information. Most walking videos are just POV with no information at all. So while they're filmed nicely I know nothing more about the city than I did before I started watching their videos. Well done. Besides, you guys seem like you have a great sense of humor and are probably a blast to hangout with. Good work, thanks.
Everyone watching or watched this video should subscribe and thumbs up video. So much detail and not to mention the amount of work out into making such a clear and concise video
I love it. We just came back last week from Nice & Paris. We may be back to Nice within 5 months. We’ll have to visit ST Jean Cap Ferrat. Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing 😀
I've actually performed in the Villa Kerylos as part of a soirée musicale (as an accompanist). It was one of the annual summer recitals held by the Académie d'Été de Nice. Possibly the most beautiful building I've ever been in. We performers were granted access to parts of the villa normally closed to the public. Like he said, everything is custom designed and built, even the smallest most insignificant details like window latches, door handles, light wall switches
Another excellent video; I am getting Arte documentary vibes watching you. I miss Beaulieu, seeing that I used to do all the shopping for Madame there. Though having retired to Nice my bank, notaire and doctor are still in Beaulieu as it is so simple to catch the 100 if I have a RDV there. I must go more frequently in order to have lunch.
Literally the first time we have watched you both pre-Elton, Tim & Mr Boo. Have to say, there's so much detail and information here, we're totally loving this. And (dare I say) preferring it to the recent drone stuff. Wash my mouth 😮 Have decided that we'll take a trip (with my 80yo but young at heart) MiL to Villefranche next year. If you're both around for us to buy you a coffee or even lunch, we'd be absolutely privileged 🎉 All the very best, Chris (from Huddersfield) and Camilla (Liverpool)
Love this wonderful walk and so informative! We spent 7 full summers at Villa Hermes, in St. Jean-Cap-Ferrat. My daily morning walk was to Beaulieu , past the Niven villa! You brought back beautiful memories for me!! Merci beaucoup! I just subscribed!
I’d love to know how the other half live - “Birthday weeks”, “birthday months”. We get one day, let’s hope it doesn’t fall on someone’s Christmas party or earlier Christmas celebration lol. It’s not all bad, we’re called “Sagicorns” (Capricorn cuspers, were born on “the cusp of prophecy”) Have a read on google 😘
Be lovely to see you but Sunday is always risky for me as it’s the day the video has to go into the sky and invariably there is some technical nightmare! Another time might be safer (not Tuesday as I’m filming)
Hi Tim and mr boo, another 'La Reserve' you may be interested in is in Pont du Loup, in the hills above Cannes. It also catered for queen Victoria and was a place they would go hunting from. It was accidentally bombed by the allies to cut off the rail link to the coast during ww2 and the GIs rebuilt it after the war. It also has some dodgy history. Anyway great to see Beaulieu again, it’s nick name was Little Africa because of the micro climate it sits in. I had the pleasure of working there for a year
Thanks for the tip off Paul. We are going to be looking for many more in the months ahead of our plans work out. Yes, petite Afrique still has an old bananerie building where (I think) they ripened they bananas in the micro climate..?
@@MeandMonAmi very possible, I can remember working in the port for a full year outside in bare feet and when the weather got bad had to pull on a tshirt. The temperature difference between Beaulieu and Nice was unbelievable. And the only annoying weather was the mistral. I just watched your video of Antibes. Nice to see it again. Lived there for four years
@@MeandMonAmi It was a german family: in english transcription .. I think it is Rodsheeld … with a long “o” and a “d” instead of a “t”… they immigrated to the States.. and your pronounciaion is certainly nowadays the correct one…. I follow your videos … as we moved not yet completly to Nice… they are an inspiration for our weekends… hope to see you one day in the Red Kaffee or in town
Another fab video thanks. We’d be there soon but …bleep, bleep,bleep….Easyjet cancelled their flights ….aargh!!! We always call the Beaulieu-St Jean route the Pink path after the rose tarmac. BTW Beaulieu Casino was in the advert when the gambler who’d lost everything walked out to find his ever reliable VW Golf - probably need to be a certain age to remember that one!
I saw some pictures of the Ami without its clothes on. I saw a rubber drive belt from the motor. How many KM have you traveled and have you considered having a spare belt on board?
@@MeandMonAmi I just watched the delivery video. I cant wait to find a used one in the UK. Im in Dover so I would be able to take it on the channel Tunnel for the day.
