Great to see Monaco again! My friend had a Flat in Monaco, and I can vouch for them being minuscule. Hope you guys are feeling better after being unwell, (Malade) You always bring a breath of fresh air to your viewers! Ty!🚙
Happy New Year and glad your health is on the mend. Also glad you allowed yourselves to dis-connect. Much deserved though I know we weren't the only ones who missed you. Thanks for today.
Terrific episode to start out the New Year. Love yours & Mr Boos investigative research of some housing history of the French Riviera. Very informative. Twiggy looking great as always. Thanks again for sharing your adventures!!
Just watched my first 2024 installment of your adventures after a gruelling day at work. Glad to see the AMI in action once again and of course yourselves.The last couple of days it's been near freezing here in the Midlands and I have not used the AMI today as the local climb to work and back was a struggle. Maybe next week I'll try again. Anything below 8C and it's not an easy trip. Motorists here are not very forgiving and show no mercy. Again thanks for a few minutes of pure escapism and relaxation. Thanks again. Sean.
Thanks for the response. Hope you're keeping warm. Have you seen the SILENCE 04 quadracycle car. Very nice looking, just wondering if it's popular over there as they sell them from a dealer in Birmingham.
Happy New Year to Tim, Mr Boo and Twiggy. You mentioned SAFRA and I worked for the bank that bought the SAFRA Republic Bank and then the Mr.SAFRA that made a small fortune from selling his bank died in a fire at his flat in Monaco 😮 and the butler did it!!
Totally absorbing! Thank you Tim and Mr Boo. Bonne année ! I wonder who bought the zoo on Cap Ferrat and what did they created? I do know for a fact they did not like a guy on his run taking a photos of the public notice board about the project ... very intimidating!
@@MeandMonAmibetter than you were both looking in your last video anyway, hopefully you’re coughs will be gone soon and you’re be back on your riviera adventures ❤
Nice one. All that driving and no charging necessary. I knew a Monaco, 'part time,' resident and as he was never there, he would leave the appartement lights on timers, as the neighbours were not below snitching on, Well, anyone , really. It's a sort of police state. Most of the wealthy faun over the royal family to a ridiculous degree. I was told by a resident, that on the princes birthday, they checked on whether you displayed the Monaco flag. If not, it was noted. Not sure if true , but? Read the book' PALACE' by Christiane de Massey, one of the family, for a better idea of how dysfunctional they are. It's like Dallas by the sea.
Don't led astray by the renaissance ceiling painting and gold leaf.... You know the owners.. When in residence... Can't sleep at nights from tbe "Audacity" of the decoration
Happy New Year Both. Really enjoyed this video. You mentioned about the “stories for another time”, please tell them. I love it when you’ve done vids on the history of the Riviera. Have watched your “Incredible Walks” series a couple of times. Glad you’re both feeling better
HPpy New Year so glad you’re both better. Loved that tour and a nice change. Love looking at other peoples houses and what houses they were. Love little Twigs on her blanket that was such a kind thing to do . I particularly love Mr Boos face behind you sometimes after your comments it cracks me up…..looking forward to 2024 adventures, staying charged. Xxx
Hi and thank you for sharing your life in France with us once again. Could you make one of your little cameos about the implications of living in that beautiful country under the Schengen Agreement. Best wishes for the coming year to you both.
Happy New Year Twiggy, Mr Boo and Tim. We have really enjoyed your tales for the past couple of years - hope there is plenty to come! Hope those nasty coughs go away soon.
Glad to see your both feeling better! Twiggy looks very content.❤ King Leopold was a extremely nasty character. In 1899, in his 65th year, is when he took Caroline Lacroix, a 16-year-old French prostitute as his mistress, they had two children. When he died after being together for ten years, she inherited a fortune. She spent in one day on clothes, the equivalent in today's money over 3 million dollars. All blood money from the Belgian Congo.
Happy New Year Tim and Mr. Boo! Lovely to see you back after the holidays...I felt your pain having been sick with that nasty what ever it was over Christmas too. The cough, congestion, and fatigue was awful. Mine lasted from the 19th-30 which is short considering some are saying they still cough after 3 weeks! Drink loads of ginger/honey/turmeric tea and you will blast the last remains of that nasty bug to smithereens!...I loved your trip to these villas and to hear of their history. Incredible! One wonders what people do in enormous palaces like these? They take up so much real estate, yet I'm sure that most of them are empty 90% of the time! What does that do for the economy in the area? Mind you, the taxes they pay must be out of this world! .....Get well soon!
Thought you might be interested to know that I returned my solar tracker to EcoFlow with a full refund . It was really unsuitable for an exposed UK site and had several faults the worst was a "dodgy " USBc connection into the equipment which became dislodged into the control unit meaning the internal battery coul d not be charged from the mains t o get it going. Personally, I would not recommend getting one - it takes a half day to assemble or disassemble , but the idea is a good one ... back to moving panels around against a scaffold tower base...
Good to see you back again & in fine fettle ( bar Mr Boo’s cough) Happy & healthy 2024. Who looked after Twiggy when you were down & out in Villefranche? Those villas and gardens - aside from the Russian / Ukrainian connections now are stunning pieces of architecture and landscape gardening, How could an owner not spend time there admiring it all. Too busy counting their filthy lucre!!
Happy New Year indeed! To both of you and Twigs! Ah, so I wasn't the only one visited by Mr. Covid on the 31th of december.. What a delight he was.. Still coughing my lungs out today.. I really liked the juxtaposition of the whine of the electric motor in Elton and those über expensive homes. Those people don't know what to do with their money, while many others try to make ends meet. Still, such beautiful pictures again. Really nice! And everybody wants to say they live in Monaco, but nobody actually wants to LIVE there. I liked that one 😁Yeah, why live in a very crowded place if you can live on one of those areas in France in stead..... I would... Oh, and if I find 45 million in a dusty corner of my bank account, who knows....
@@MeandMonAmiYeah, I heard it from EVERYWHERE! I'm still coughing, 1,5 weeks later. Perhaps I'm a tad impatient though 😅 Still, I'm sure you've had better weather the last week. It was a bit chilly at -7C...
Mister Me and Mister Boo and Elton and Twiggy 🐶🐕 'Russian Banker' 😂😂bloody excellent Tim! 👌how the other half live eh??? And they say crime doesn't pay 🤔🤔mmmmmm...far be it from me to say that some of these properties are bought with 'dodgy money' 😉😉 love Twiggs blanket 🐕🐶 good to see ya survival of the Christmas lergy Tim & Mister Boo.😊stay safe and well and obviously stay charged ❤😅🎉
@@MeandMonAmithank you, it has started well, my ami arrived this week, I am now testing and installing them, but I cannot get the decorative rims on the wheels
Many episodes ago you mentioned one of the most modest forms of housing in Cap Ferrat, cabenons designed by Le Corbusier. By coincidence, Le Corbusier admired cars from Avions Voisin, founded by the two brothers who built planes in WW1 as well as the villa in this episode. Mentioning the villa now is timely. Because it is deemed historic (surely due to the importance of the Voisins and not the architecture) the villa's exterior could not be changed. Right now in Paris, preservationists are fighting to save the Pavillon des Sources from demolition by the Curie Institute (that wants to expand). It iis where Marie Curie conducted experiments.
Spoiler alert... YT mods took out my post speculating that the French State's need for extra dosh at this time could be related to high altitude events in the Bay of Biscay in November last.
Tank goodness both of you are alright again, however be careful with that cough though! Maybe you should have a little more rest and warmth inside guy's.... But these house prices are rediculous, don't you think? Living in Monte Carlo well... Do you want to go back to living in a flat? I won't! Those flats in Monte Carlo are smaller than a counsel flat and they pay a sh*tload of money for it! Be well soon, guy's and give a cuddle from me to Twiggy ❤️
If "There's something going on that defys explanation" in the UK ... You can guarentee that the National Crime Agency will be giving it a stiff ignoring... Juste le meme chose en France? Aussi, le meme chose en Chypre. Que se passe ?
Nice to see how the other 0,000001% live. To be honest, i prefer your reviews of restaurants with a bill of 50-70 € 🤣🤣😉 Anyway, nice to see you again and have a great 2024 and of course - stay charged!!

Happy New Year to you both and Twiggy. Great video and start to 2024. Ironic isnt it? Well to me anyway, that Ukrainians own such sumptuous porperties and their countrys in ruins!
I think to be fair the super rich of any country play by very different rules to everyone else. In 1942 the casino in Monaco was still open (with war across Europe)

Obscene the wealth these oligarchs have. Thanks for sharing.. this was an interesting episode!
I am sorry you were unwell. This is a very cool video. I really like your jacket; probably more than the villas.
Me too

Thanks and HNY!
Love this kind of video. The history of your area is second to none.😊
Keep them coming 👍
Thanks Brian. I have a plan
happy new year... it is in Monaco where the sale of a penthouse smashed world records... talking about the Tour Odeon penthouse..
Indeed it has a water slide!
Happy New Year and glad your health is on the mend. Also glad you allowed yourselves to dis-connect. Much deserved though I know we weren't the only ones who missed you. Thanks for today.
We were wiped. Happy New Year!

Hi and thank you for sharing your life in France with us once again.
Could you make one of your little cameos about the implications of living in that beautiful country under the Schengen Agreement.

Happy new year!!
Happy New Year Twiggy, Mr Boo and Tim. We have really enjoyed your tales for the past couple of years - hope there is plenty to come! Hope those nasty coughs go away soon.
Happy new year! They’ve gone, just!
Have a good healthy 2024 and may your wishes come true..thanks for the show around some of the villas we only can dream of..🎉😅
Glad to see your both feeling better!

And to you Andy. Not sure I could face the gardening bill!
Fab vlog ……..good to see you both meaning 2 of you back at it after your horrid illness Xx
Good to be back!
Hi, great to see you back. Great video - fascinating subject. If and when I buy the villa I'll invite you round for a cuppa :)

Thanks
That’s what French Riviera is all about. Great video guys 👍
Thanks
Has Mr Boo considered doing an episode on the value and adventures of his scooter??
He will he has much to say!!
Happy New Year! Interesting episode, how about the other way around? For regular Europeans, how expensive is the Riviera?
Good idea!
Welcome back guys, Happy New Year and I hope you had a nice birthday Tim, keep em coming and until them stay charged
Thanks Bobby
do a video bargain basement property in VILLEFRANCHE!
Good to see you back again & in fine fettle ( bar Mr Boo’s cough)

Those villas and gardens - aside from the Russian / Ukrainian connections now are stunning pieces of architecture and landscape gardening, How could an owner not spend time there admiring it all. Too busy counting their filthy lucre!!
She looked after us. Yes the idea that such glory is only seen a month or two a year is sad
Clearly, Cap Ferrat and Cap D'Antibes are the "Because-you're-worth-it" land to Elvis's Graceland.
Unless they fly out they have to travel on the same roads and walk on the pavements as the rest of us.

Happy New Year / Bonne Annee boys! Tim wearing a natty new shirt... Christmas present?
Two years old!
We are all dying to see the “Villa Moi et Mon Ami”😂
You’d need a very powerful lens!
These prices are laughable compared to Mar-A-Lago, that's worth one billion dollars! Many people say...
I’m sure!

Monaco is not a good city for living, a small flat with the same standart than a normal flat in province costs 10 time more !
But you don’t have to pay income tax. „Living” in Monaco is business.
I wouldn’t fancy it
Can you buy me one while you’re at it 😅
Will do
Sure;
The next owners will be African warlords and the likes moving down from Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) 😇
Very possibly.
can't russians just be rich and buy a villa? why do you think its always nefarious
It is difficult to become wealthy in Russia if you are not on Putin's side. Now, you might ask: what's wrong with Putin? But I will stop here.
@@charlsalashI guess everything is wrong with him. He’s mass murderer and biggest thief on earth.
