Shopping bag up and we need stuff for lunch it’s two days in a row well it’s never two it’s not two days in a row I did a vog last time in Montreal B I forgot my bag I even gave them a tip and said make sure you take your shopping
Bag and it’s almost like my brain’s done this reverse psychology thing now oh wow look oh what’s this is the wall which way do we go uh if you wonder why I drive I want to show you how John navigate in a minute we’ve gone off track I think we
Should be going up that Way look at the roof pattern over there that’s like a Romeo Juliet’s balcony or what I imagine that’s even got the tiles on the top the C Tiles what it’s a spa spa oh wow And as we mentioned it’s Market Day and the streets are filled with over J did you say 12 150 stalls 150 stalls excellent it smells amazing oh it’s got to be chicken there always chicken always chicken yeah yeah rotisserie chicken which way anyway you happy John shoing that’s the other side of that
Church with the funky Ro yeah we just need to try and not get ripped off at this Market where we did um play where we ended up paying 13 found some cheese buy a kilo you weren even drunk yeah these are similar to The the halls in uh in
Bordo oh and something for the doggies oh no it’s truffles the dogs find the truffles good to see a local delicacy of mine if fits all the way from Wakefield oh it’s got to be surely this rhubarb’s come to The Fringe Market fromi the rhubarb triangle made its way
To Mid France and of course I don’t want to disappoint you let’s take John and look in the window and set his heart R up face oh what she looking at now don’t worry love € 680,000 for that bad boy yeah it’s a bit modern I prefer this one look that’s too
Modern I like the oldy worldy that’s got a pool though for 550 well which one do you want I’ll have the cave for 116,000 you could be quite nice a pretty little town center with a carousel bars no definitely this one oh 2.85 million oh that’s in nights of St George yeah
Nights we did pass that on the mot way didn’t we and we said Knights of St George is the kind of place you want to live have that as your Address 6 kg of what have what it looks like that’s stuff that you get in Den is that of it like one oh like a parking parking and there’s some orange and and lemon flavors nice turns out it’s ciss that’s where we’re heading to ciss in Provance it’s a nice busy uh Vibe isn’t it it is Market dayes yeah Cony look ony like Tom Cony like Tom it’s the cheese isn’t it it’s the cheese yeah not Tom Conte is that Tom Conte who was was the Greek L inle Valentine Valentine Yes that’s one of those Instagram streets and just like that we’ll transport it to the med where’s that well can’t find out oh yeah everywhere’s shut it’s lunch time 12:30 to 2: French are very proud they have lots of monuments everywhere don’t know who this guy is on have to Google it when I’m editing Gaspard M so we said we needed things for lunch we’re going to pop into the Shak wow Nice what did you say John pants literally look pants Apple it’s reminding me of um a more compact Rouge it is yeah it’s all very compact in the center of the Town yeah I like it I wonder if they do that just to scare the real pigeons off
So that the building doesn’t get covered in poo possibly but so far on this trip our timing has been epic pick cuz everywhere we’ve gone it’s literally everything’s closed as we’ve got there Champagne Avenue we managed to sneak in the last couple everything else was closing as we were walking
Around burn Market Day closed we’ve C the last hour of the market it’s just is everybody sitting down for their lunch and their glasses are red but we do need to make sure we go Supermarket shopping this afternoon because tomorrow is Sunday and we all know what that means in France half past
Through our closing time well or is it 12 just FR shut down or as soon as we get there FR shuts down on Sunday and we’re hoping to make it to the South Coast by tomorrow so I definitely don’t want to be getting there and having no wine that would be a
Disas it would which way is it John one second concentration face on that it’s taking us that way I think it’s that way yeah we’re turning left at some point yeah yeah 20 y yeah Hope so um we didn’t manage to get any ham for lunch we got cheese already so decisions about what we’re going to put on our byette well cuz we had we’ve got a bit we had a sh we had like a a Shak cuchery pack last night didn’t we which we had
We dinner and some salad left in there yeah I think I’m going to go for cheese and relish I think I’m going to go for salami and cheese salami and cheese so burn is the kind of size town that I like perfect for me 24,000 yep we’ve also researched in this
Area Shalon S Salon which has about 45,000 population twice the size John’s got an update for you Google update bone is the wine capital of burgundy but Dion is the actual capital of bur and you’re calling it bone I’m calling it B bone bur
Ba you want I took you to I took you to B and call places weasel and C feret so I’ve got a proper Yorkshire approach to France pronounce them how we want to I mean I’m from Yorkshire and you’re from Scotland we’re screwed it’s called Bonny in that
Case and we have just got back to the a the air even and we are very happy look at that we thought we were going to be paying 870 free free plenty of space you’ve got the big spaces here which we’ve had to park in and you’ve got the smaller spaces there
But actually some of those you’ve got overhang as well so if you’ve got a van like hours which at the time there wasn’t any spaces that I’d have fit on and there’re also electric spaces so I didn’t want to take one up cuz we don’t need the electric we are going to have
Some lunch and head on to put some more miles under the belt now it’s time to go shopping my Favorite I really fancy cheese balls I saw them last time cheese balls no go hard or go home 10 L boxes of wine tick cremon the B that’s what we want cremon it’s like champagne but you know how to call champagne not shy barbecue stuff and some big sausage yeah bread
For dinner which one oh butet rustique or should we Goet rusti that looks nice with some uh balsamic yeah oh look at that a man after my own Heart lost him and found him in the beer aisle O what a healthy what a healthy sou shopping trolley beer wine chicken nuggets okay now we’re at the healthy bit I made a really nice salad last night was missing some rocket so I think I want to go not rocket a rocket there we go still no cheesy balls these will
Do I mean the French even made fish fingers posh So John rightly pointed out that I had cheesy balls in brouge which is where I can’t stop thinking about we had it it was like part of a tap pass that we got in a bar but spring rolls some Moses there a oh no no nuggets to poule no chicken nuggets yeah it’s uh where’s the sausages in uh in rentals there we go that is stunning with some crusty bread look at John in his happy place the biscuit aisle know they cakes you need the biscuits there we go your princess there
