    DJ: This is one of your best! Really enjoyed the music you paired up with the footage (no lyrics, and nice and soothing... and relevant to the place you're at). That drone footage was very good indeed! You've really come along with it! You were even getting a bit cocky there (almost skimming the river with it). I thought to myself: is he going to go next level, and go under the arches on the bridge!? 😂 You knew your limitations there. Maybe next time? 😄
    Anyway, really enjoyed this one. Unfortunate that you and Steve couldn't get some local cuisine... other than le Colonel.
    Le Mans looks brill! 👍

    Yes Darren and Steve Epic beyond words. Le Mans such a Beautiful and Gorgeous town. What a shame the Restaurants were all closed. From Experience French Food is really tasty. I have had Escargo, Angeletti and Chips, i have also had a MacDonalds Big Mac Meal with a knife and fork. I really hope your meal at the KFC Restaurant was Good after all. Hope You and Steve had some Good Beer and just relax and realise what an Experience You both will have Conquered such an Achievement. I take my Hat off to both of You Amasing Gentlemen. Excellent Movie Production, Superb Foley mixing with really Good atmospheric music. It will give people Inspiration and maybe make them think, about just getting out there and seeing this Beautiful Planet we all Live on and Enjoy. Thank you Darren and Steve.

    Darren, I’m glad to see that at least your homeward journey is going well. When I took my girlfriend to Paris a few years ago, we stayed in an Ibis hotel and although basic, we quite enjoyed it and had a good choice of eat as much as you want breakfast. I liked the drone footage but my toes did curl a little when your drone skimmed the waves!! It’s good to see you having a well deserved holiday, but if truth be told, I’m looking forward to seeing your future videos on home turf in the UK. Safe journey home.

I had a mini panic attack when it got super close to the water but you did an amazing job!! That paired with the music was pure bliss. Must say had a little chuckle at the romantic KFC dinner for 2 😂😂😂 You promised an epic road trip and you certainly delivered on that!! Yes things didn't always go to plan but you took it in your stride and got on with it, all while filming and editing so you could take us along on the journey with you.
