We're in the beautiful French village of Saint-Ambroix, and there's so much history here to see but there's a market on and we're distracted, and come back to the van with quite a haul!
You'd think all that haul from the market would last longer, but market hauls like that at just too good to put down! The climbing was well worth the views and the fascinating history.
Hi, the guy on the cheese stall said the cheese wrapped would last 2 months in the fridge it lasted a week😂. The village was fabulous with great history.
Fantastic haul from the market, my mouth is watering..I could almost smell that chicken 😋.. Tricia did so well on all those steps.. see you next week x
Hi, the food was amazing. There were a lot of steps but just had wee bits of rest on the way up. So glad you are enjoying the vlogs. See you next week x
Who doesn't love a French market especially with all those goodies and wasn't Kiera good it must've been a huge temptation for her? Thank you for taking us on the tour of the medieval village there was so much to see!
Hi Timmy, the French markets are so interesting with such a variety of fresh produce. So glad you enjoyed the tour of the village it was very historic.
What a great video. Tricia, you are one determined lady tackling those steep climbs and explaining the history so impressive! The chicken looked mmmmmmm yum🙂
Hi Ruth, thanks for your lovely comments Mike didn't show on the vlog all the stops I had🤣. Yeah Keira approved of the chicken. So glad you enjoyed the vlog.😀
Hi Mike and Tricia, what a fabulous time you’re having. The aerial views once again Mike are fantastic, truly wonderful to see the town from such a great perspective. I have to say that’s the biggest piece of cheese I’ve seen, being a lover of the stuff I would have got through that very quickly, love those French markets. Another great video and look forward to the next one. Bon journee.
Hi Ken, we are having a wonderful time. So glad you liked the aerial shots we do like to see a bird eye view. It was a huge wedge of cheese that lasted us a week🤣 Thanks for watching us😀
I was drooling over the goodies you purchased from the market then over the amazing views. Tricia please treat youself to some good quality walking poles. It will make all the difference. I'm now 4 days post op and longing to be able to climb in your footsteps but I'll have to do it vicariously through you 3 for the time being. Happy travels x
Hi Jane, the goodies from the market were very tasty. I have got walking poles maybe I should use them more. Glad you are enjoying the videos happy to have you climb along with us.😀
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot thank you. I'd be in foodie heaven going around one of those markets. The older and mankier looking the cheese the better. Oh! And a crusty loaf with blobs of local butter 🥳🥳 Yes! now!, being a bit bossy here Tricia but you really should be using those walking poles. They take pressure off the hip and also are great, when descending ancient stone steps, for balance. Not sure how to do all that with cameras and Keira. 🙈
Love Keira, what a gorgeous dog she is, a bigger version of our Tyler 🙂 Market looked brilliant, nice haul you there as well 🙂 Take care Trev Debz and Tyler x
My husband Tom stands in front of the TV, when you show the chicken and trys to smell it😅. Again a wonderfull and informative Video. Greetings from Germany.
That was great the trip to the market made me and my wife laugh,I’m always buying hooks for our Motorhome then I don’t why I bought them😊great trip and park ups thanks👏👏
B roll, huh? Cute. Kiera was SO interested in cheese and chicken, and she did all her best cutes to convince you to share! I'm sure you did. Lovely village, French markets can't be beat! Thanks for the vid!
Hi Deb, the B-roll is the wee bit extra clips you see when we're talking. Knew not everyone would get that joke. We always have to pay the cheese tax can't get let off with that levvy. Glad you enjoyed the video.😀
Jeez lol that cheese will last to September 😅 This looks a Jane retail therapy trip - oh wow rotisserie chicken - I’m on my way - can’t beat a French market we found Fantastic old quarters Thanks for producing- stay safe guys
Hi you two, the cheese lasted a week😂😂. French markets are the best so much variety of produce. The medieval part of the village was really interesting.
The bread, cheese and sun dried tomato paste looked fantastic. I agree with another subscriber, Tricia, get yourself some walking poles, I couldn't manage without mine, albeit I only use one, when holding the dog lead too. I hold it in the opposite hand to the dodgy leg/hip, as recommended by sports physios, enjoying your video of the French trip very much, thank you 😀🚐❤️
Hello You Three - greetings from Poland In my opinion. one of your best videos from France so far. A beautiful medieval village. That climb up through those passgaes was very exciting. What a view from the top by the church. The climb up to tower looked strenuous and again, superb views from the top. For me the market was the winner this week. Your purchases were lovely. I hope the cheese, sausage, chicken, bread sundried tomatoes and olive paste were all as delicious as they looked.
Hi Michael, the village was certainly beautiful and interesting. We really enjoyed walking through the old passages was like stepping back in time. The market was a winner for us so many delicious goodies bought. When we bought the cheese the stallholder said it could last 2 months in the fridge it lasted a week😂
Hi guys 👋 You can't beat a good market, I would definitely be distracted. It looks a wonderful place. Some great drone footage, I really enjoyed this episode. Cheers 👍 🐸
Yayyy I have finally caught up by binge watching ALL your previous vlogs ! Super interesting to see those lovely narrow winding alleyways - so evocative and full of history 🦋
Hi Gill, seems to me that the cheese tax is getting bigger and bigger😀. Good way to get tourists to visit make up a story involving wine and a flying ox.
Would love to try those sun dried tomatoes, olives and cheese on delicious French crusty bread 😋 That church on the hill looked amazing, well worth the trek up. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Lovely boule de campagne with a tangy yeasty taste. We've always had one of those fruit baskets, which you only seem to find in French markets. Never seen them in the shops here. Saucisses - definitely not the same as our bangers. Saucisse de Toulose is excellent. My French MIL was from that region.
Hi, I remember my great aunt having one of those baskets she often travelled to the continent. The saucisses are definitely not the same as our Scottish Links. It is a beautiful region to belong to.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot I'm originally from Leicester so it was Pukka pies and Lincolnshire sausages for me. Now living in the Essonne region near Paris. Thanks to my late PIL's we were able to explore their home regions. The Périgord & Hérault. For this East Midlander definitely an eye opener. Great food from those places. 👍🏻
Great market haul, sorry I inadvertently pressed the double time button so we saw quite a bit of your vlog in double time, very amusing until I realised it wasn’t a vlog edit but my stupidity, sorry but a great giggle. Loved your market haul and very impressed with your climbs. Looking forward to your next stop.
Thank you great vlog , really enjoyed , we don’t have flying oxen but we do have flying pigs 🐷 in Wales they bring unlimited sunshine and 50% increases in pension 😂😂😂 well done both good luck 👍👍👍🏴🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🦢
Hi Linda, as we had a smaller van before its great having more space. Would imagine down sizing you would be more difficult, but yes this size of van is probably a lot easier to manover.😀
Hi Margaret, if the park-up feels secure we will leave certain items in the van but generally take our phones, cards, cash and passports in our pockets/bags with us. So glad you are enjoying the vlogs.😀
Good morning from New Hampshire, USA... Do you know the name of the trees that seem to have a ball on the branch and smaller branches grow straight up in the air? We see them in some of your videos. We enjoy travelling with you each week!
Hi Karen, we are not sure what type of trees they are the French seem to like pollarding their trees. The other trees that we have seen that have balls are mistletoe balls on them. So glad you are enjoying the vlogs😀
Hari OM OH my word, that would have given the legs a workout - and work off some of that cheese overload! As for rain ... don't even talk to me about that right now ............. YAM xx
My wee scottie just had her cheese tax revoked by the vet. She is on the dreaded reducing diet, veg n fruit treats only. My son has been sharing sausages and cheese with her. Not scottie size nibbles, but people size portions. She is very sad about the current situation.
Hi aw the poor wee dug. Keira is so active chasing the ball that I think the cheese gives her added energy😂. Keira 🐕🦺 sends her a virtual piece of cheese🧀❤️
@@SHalto142 no probs, you are meant to register with the first EU country that you intend to fly your drone in, but I found the French site to be difficult to translate so registered via the Ireland site and did the online test there.
It does sound at times that you are really crying out to stay in a normal more luxurious camp site but the value of these types stops you. Maybe treat yourselves every week to something like that for a night or two? 😊
Hi Brian, we really are enjoying the Camping Car Parks just some feel that they are a bit carparky and as you say the price is too good. We know that some of them are on old municipal campsites so they will have a wee bit more room to sit out.
@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot excellent, I am very jealous 😊 Kudos to Tricia as well, as steps after steps kept coming in that village I was very impressed you made it all the way as it sounded like an effort!
