Because of this channel, my wife and I have just come back from 5 wonderful days in Villesfranche sur-Mer and we did this walk....but we didn't meet you or Mr Boo :(
Oh I’m sorry. We often bump into people. Hope the weather wasn’t too annoying!
@@MeandMonAmi No Pwablem! The weather was lovely for 2 days then like the UK for 2 days - hey ho! Catch u next time!
Bravo .....
Merci
The map is a big help to put your wonderful tour in context!! The scenery is so beautiful.I love your telling us the history as you walk along!! Love from Vermont
Excellent...
thanks
Good job, great doc! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
As usual, a great vlog with good info and beautiful views. TY
Thanks Pat
Love your walks such fun. Just started reading Somerset Maugham so thanks for the historically references.
Thanks so glad you enjoyed. Selina Hastings book on Maugham is interesting
Cool, thanks will have a look. Great videos...made me smile.
I am reliving so many memories whilst watching these videos. To think I first saw the Rade de Villefranche over 30 yrs ago and have visited these places many times over the years with ex-lovers, friends and aquaintences. I will never leave nor fall out of love with this coastl
So glad you are still enjoying.
This is fantastic! And very nostalgic for this Leeds boy who, in 1975, landed a job as commis waiter at the hotel La Voile do'r for the summer season. Staff bedrooms were by the quayside below the pool- now it would seem converted to guest accommodation. The guests were literally a who's who of aristocracy or new monied celebs (Rd Stewart/Brit Eckland) i got caught up in the Lord Lucan carry on through Dominic Elwes, served drinks at David Nivens private cocktails parties at his villa and hung out at the Rothschild Mansion where we had befriended the caretakers family. Thank you for this brilliant portrayal of a place etched into my heart! Memorable being an understatement!
What a great story! Do you come back here?
@@MeandMonAmi Come back where? Recognising your accent, Do mean Yorkshire? I recently retired to the UK South coast after 25 years in Central London, bit still have siblings in surrounding Leeds areas.
@@ukbuilt1755 I meant the south Of France. I was angling to interview you for the channel!
St Jean is lovely. I could spend weeks on that coastline exploring! Thanks for another lovely walk Tim ! 🙏
Glad you enjoyed. Hoping the weather holds as we get nearer St Hospice!
This was a fantastic walk and your info an comments are second to none 🙂
Totally loved it👍👍👍
All the best
Brian
Thanks Brian. So glad you enjoyed and commented!
Thank you very much for your video, Tim. Great sinery, great stories. Wish I was there! Lyuba
Thanks Lyuba.
Loving the video, we holiday here regularly, this is so interesting
Thanks Graham. There’s quite a few more in this series in case you missed them
Like it !
Thanks
Thanks for the vid on Cap Ferrat and the info and nice pics of the David Niven house!
Thanks Mel!
Your video is the best, I really enjoyed it. Will travel to south Frence soon, hopefully sooner…but I don’t drive…:(
Thanks. No need to drive the public transport is cheap n easy and some great views along the way!
Thank you very much🙏
Thanks Tim, another fabulous wander, just what was needed on this rather grey Sunday evening
Thanks. If it’s any consolation it’s been pretty grey here this weekend!
Thanks for another very informative and entertaining video. I must say your compositional and creative visuals are becoming really polished
Thanks Captain and thanks for letting me know. Makes it all worthwhile.
As entertaining as always Tim. Good job
Thanks Paul.
Brilliant. I did the walk this past July ❤️
Thanks Ritchie. Never loses its magic.
I'm thinking of going to South of France for holiday and I'm glad I found your channel, what time of the year was this, I was thinking of going around April or May, or those 2 months a good time to go???
I've just recently discovered your amazing history walks. Great stories and very well presented. The scenery as always in the Cote D'azure is spectacular. thank you so much and keep on walking and putting these amazing videos. What are you using to film this? It is very effective.
Thanks Alex. We largely film on iPhone 13 pro max in cinematic mode though from memory some of the walks used a Sony ZV1
St. Jean Cap Ferrat is the location of my dream Euromillions villa. I really enjoyed your entertaining and interesting tour
Will be there in may how much time does it take to circumambulate the cap? Have you done it in one go?
Yes. I’d say three to four hours depending on weather/fitness
What is the world coming to? The Voile D'or turned into an apartment block albeit an exclusive one, hopefully developers do it tastefully as taste is sadly lacking in todays architecture, these walks are truly inspiring and I would like you to know that. The Mediterranean coast line brings tears to my eyes It is so beautiful and I really really do hope that these greedy developers do not start building out into the sea as in Monaco, I know Monaco is for increasing the square miles but just saying..keep walking X.
Thanks Sarah. I cant work out whether it’s going to become a hotel with apartments or apartments. They are pretty good round here at restricting developments, Monaco is a different story all together.
Love all your videos ! 😍 Do you know who is the owner of the David Niven house today ?
Is it this lady? www.iconicriviera.com/la-fleur-du-cap-place-david-niven-in-cap-ferrat/
