Inside MONT SAINT MICHEL Medieval Village Normandy France!

    You like that? Gareth has gone 
    in every single no entry sign addictive. You’re getting done. Oh yeah. Good morning. What should I say? Bonjour. So, it’s 
    breakfast time. So, we’re going for pastry time. I’m off back to that shop in the center where we 
    had a glass of wine and that nice one yesterday. You know where I bought one for everybody. 
    I didn’t have one myself. So, I’m going to find a class on. Did you enjoy some of that in 
    your arm? Hey, worth something to eat. It’s a bit cloudy today. I’m glad Trish is missing out 
    cuz she haven’t been in that one. It’s uh I don’t know what this is. I did like that other one. Is 
    it Is it a flower shop? They got pies in it. Oh, they have some. But I can’t see any quissants. 
    No quissants in that one. We’ll go to other one. Look at Oh, he’s only got roast ties in bottom 
    of it. No roast ties in bottom of it. Oh, imagine coming for dinner. I wonder if 
    we have a sandwich or something like you have to buy the whole chicken on. It’s very 
    early and he’s wanting chicken and spuds. acquired one panor raisin. Oh, sorry. Un panoras. You got three quason on. Yeah, but you’re 
    about I can’t say that cuz I always go quason. What’s number four then? Cuz we 
    got four quasonants at the end. I don’t know. My French is 
    about as good as my catra. Are we going that way? You got a 
    choice. So, we’re going that way, the medieval way, or we’re going 
    which way we’ve just come from. Oh, we going to get run over. Bate. We still 
    got the Halloween stuff out. Oh, yeah. So, we’re going back up here. I don’t need to show 
    you going up there cuz we did that last night. I brought breakfast. Oh, kind of raisins. Suck it up. Oh. 
    Oh, that smells nice. Quant to warm. Look at the size of the quason. 
    Is that one quasson? No, that’s two. Wow. Three. There’s three in there. Yeah, there’s three 
    in here. I don’t know why, but I only asked for two. How do I get out of my van? I’m blocked in. 
    Yeah. Can’t get out. Definitely. Yeah. It’s on the way back. Look at that. How am I supposed to get 
    out of that? Blocked in. We’ve been blocked in a little bit. Morning. Oh, there’s Tim. Tim. Tim. 
    Nice but dim. So, sorry for the sound. First and foremost, I’ve got the eating on cuz I’ve woke up 
    today and it’s freezing. Sunny yesterday. Ow. I wanted to give everybody a tip for a Costa cut. 
    So yesterday I put in one of them options mint chocolate in the the lid on this one’s got like 
    a sippy cup type effect. Right. So I put in one of them options mint chocolate hot chocolates. 
    Timothy’s here when you pulled over here just Yeah. I thought Gareth was buying you a bunch of 
    flowers and then he said no it’s a pizza machine there. He showing you a pizza machine. You thought 
    he was buying me flowers? No. I was like, “Oh, how man. I would have wanted him.” Anyway, you should 
    show Tim a pizza machine, a vending machine. Anyway, it the mint chocolate chip hot chocolate 
    that I put in that yesterday. Right. I’ve just had my cup of tea in it. I’ had to pour it out the 
    window cuz my cup of tea tastes like mint. So, maybe if you’ve got mint hot chocolate, don’t put 
    it in a sippy cup like that because everything’s going to taste like mint afterwards. Tim thought 
    he was buying me flowers. No, I showed him pizza machine. He thought he was being romantic and 
    buying me flowers. He went, “What’s that? It’s a pizza machine. 24-hour pizza machine.” What’s 
    funny is there was a dude there. It’s not even that late and he’s buying pizzas with his kids 
    in it. I told my mother out pictures. Rude. So, we just took a detour of about 500 mile cuz 
    we went through this little French town and it was literally Turn right at the roundabout 
    taking the first exit. I’d go straight on here. Me personally, there you go. Look, I’ll show 
    you. The whole town is closed off. They’re doing some sort of film calculation with Columbus 
    film production calculation. After 400 m, turn sharp right onto D581. Don’t know what 
    we’re filming, but filming some Columbus film production. I might have a look there on Google. 
    Just been on Google now. I can’t tell you exactly what these film drive for 7.8 kilometers because 
    it’s all in French. Well, looking on Google, Columbus Film Production Company makes over 200 
    French films a year. 200. It’s a lot in it. So, the filming summer. Hey, tour YouTube family. 
    If you’re loving the content, here’s a quick reminder to hit that subscribe button and leave 
    a comment. Your support means the world to us. I mean, this is where gas goes. I don’t know if 
    this is where we’re stopping, but reception entre. You think it’s worth going to one closer? This 
    is your closest. So, we could have gone to an air within walking distance, but G brought us 
    to the furthest one away cuz his [ __ ] is now here. There is electrical cut points. There’s 
    no toilet blocks, and he says there is. Maybe there is. I don’t know. We’ll have a look in a 
    bit. So, this is where we’ve stopped. €16. Now, we got to find a bus stop. See that cars are 
    going that way. I’m assuming it’s this bus stop here. Them donuts. I think it’s that one. 
    Much hope cuz it’s a Sunday. But I can check out. It’s got giant apple. Sarah’s right. They 
    sell chocolate caramel biscuits. It does sell biscuits. Chocolate caramel biscuits. It looks 
    like it’s open as well to be fair. And it sells rosé. It’s a bit noisy that road, isn’t it? 
    Oh, look at them horses over there. I mean, I’m not going to see them. I might show 
    you them. I’m not going to stroke them cuz horses stink. I think you’re either a horsey 
    person or you’re not. I won’t wish I’m on one, but not my cup of tea. Hello, horses. 
    Oh, that is an old cat. Hello, horses. Hello. That’s about as close as I’m getting. This one 
    looks like a pony. And I’m not going to lie, they don’t smell I don’t smell them. Do they smell 
    all right? Some spices and some wines and bit of all sorts of touristy stuff. This is just opposite 
    from the St. Michael wankers. What are you doing? What floor? No chairs. It’s full of sticker I think call it fall 
    down like that. I think it’s a bit full in here. Alligators. It’s full of alligator and 
    turtles. That’s where we’re going. Can you see it? Look. Yeah. Yeah. See full of damn tourists 
    around here. Look at that. Look at this dam. God damn. That’s generating 
    electricity though. Do you think that’s sick that you know? Hear it near the 
    table. You can hear some of that. So this is the co and it’s a work of art facing the 
    monument. The mount sorry not the monument. All the elements are engraved in bronze and the 
    alphabet shells and shields are referencing the history of Mount St. Michael. on its bear. 
    It’s cool here. It’s amazing. Look at that. Wow. Let me get closer. I think we got off bus too 
    early. Takes you right to it. I’m getting closer. We got off it about a mile back now. I’m almost 
    there. Maybe we should have stayed on it. Look at this for a view. Getting closer. There is a bus 
    that brings you all the way down. And there’s no turning circle at the end of here. So, the bus is 
    like two-way, double-headed. I know I mentioned it earlier, but literally, so what the driver 
    does, he drives it one way, it gets in, gets to the other, and just drives it back the other. 
    Look how clear that water is. That’s crazy. Now, look at that. Right. It just makes you think. I 
    think some of this is chiseled into the walls, but just just look at it, right? Can you imagine? It’s 
    thousands of years old as well. So, how they build it? And now the council build the road, right? 
    Need replacing in 2 years. And also look at that big on top of the spire, the big gold. It looks 
    like an eagle from here, but I don’t know what it is. How the hell did they get that up there? 
    There been no cranes, no helicopters. It’s crazy. Seems right. Are they walking right 
    across or something? In low season, the buses run. This bus that takes you 
    to the car park runs 8:30 to 10 p.m. Stop it. Took a walk, but got it in. I 
    found some Instagrammers in the wild. I’m not going to lie, it just gets more 
    impressive the closer you get to it. It’s amazing. It’s like clay here. It’s like It’s 
    a little bit like the Humber, but less shitty turd brown. I know you can’t see, but this I 
    mean it’s like thick clay sand and groups of people walking on it. The radies, they’re going to 
    hurt themselves. What? Lot of tits. Look at that. I’m at it now. It took us about 20 minutes to walk 
    from the bus car park. I don’t know where no one is. I lost everybody while I was trying to vlog. 
    I don’t even know if they’re going in. Looks like the steps to get up it really. Why are they all 
    queuing? Oh well, let’s crack on. Look at that. This I’m not going to lie. This is impressive. 
    It’s impressive. The seagulls are doing meding. Massive. I think that’s the cherub on the top of 
    that that gold thing. Oh [ __ ] About to get run over. Wait a minute. So that’s actually the bus 
    we was on. I could have got it out way down here. Never mind. Right. I don’t know where nobody 
    is. Like I’ve said, I don’t know which way in. I don’t know where anyone’s gone. I might just 
    get on the bus. Oh, I’ve seen a fit toilet. Oh, come in. Looks like the way in down 
    there. Right. It’s nice here, guys. Oh, there’s lots of shops in here. There is 
    a cafe just as you come in, but it’s random. Gosed off and left me. Um, 
    and I’m not going to lie, if I don’t see him in the next 
    10 minutes, I’m back to lost. So, there are hotels here, so you can actually stay on the It’s to me it’s like 
    the shambles if you’ve ever been. Wow. There’s loads of little shops and pubs 
    and hotels. Like I’ve said, lot of um souvenir shops. I don’t need any souvenirs. 
    I’ve got a video. Wow. Think today. So there’s a price board. About4 quid for a crate, £8 for 
    a beer, £68 for the champagne. I’m not going to lie, it’s beautiful, right? So you can see 
    absolutely ramp. This is not my type of place. I’m not going to lie. It’s beautiful. I can only imagine what it’s like in night 
    out of summer cuz this is November. We got definitely got plenty of hotels 
    on the island. Not getting ready for that restaurants. I’m not coming back here. 
    We’re meant to be doing two days. Uh no, there are four museums on the island. This 
    is one of them. And every one of them have got a queue of about 50 people to get 
    in. I’ve not seen one shop apart from the eye exam place. I know it’s coming for 
    an eye test on here that’s not got 50,000 people in it. The coffee shop had 75,000 
    people in the queue queue queue queue. This is uh this is not for me. I 
    mean it’s beautiful. There’s no disputing that. But I’ve never seen 
    so many people in my life that old lady up. Blessing bless her. There’s no 
    Andreas here, guys. I think that’s her wheelchair. Doing a job trying to get it 
    up, though. See, it can be good sometimes, people. He’s always a gentleman. Really? I’m 
    getting closer to the top. I’m getting there. Look at that. Well, you could if the tide was 
    in to get to the high bit. This is the queue of people. It’s €13. So, it’s not terrible. I 
    might go that way up. I’m not paying to book the 13 cuz there’s hundreds of people up there. 
    So, it’s I’m not being tight, but there’s a lot of people. There’s lots of information here if 
    you can speak French. I can’t. We all managed to make it to the top. All four of us. Well, as far 
    up as we can go. I think that’s the highest we can go without paying. And I’m not doing another 
    20 steps for the sake of that. This is rock. So they’ve clearly built this into the rock. Even 
    that is like some sort of gran. Can you imagine thousands of years ago, right? Unbelievable. 
    Somebody had to carry that all the way up here thousands of years ago. Council put a road in. 
    They have to recover it into you. This is all the actual rock where they built into the rock 
    cuz rock doesn’t grow. Wow. It is impressive up here. I’m not going to lie. So that dam over there 
    is where we walked from earlier. Yeah. Yeah. Tik Tok. Watch him walk in front of this dude. 
    Look at this dude tick tocking. Don’t walk in his Tik Tok. Don’t walk in his 
    Tik Tok. Wow. Look at that. Honest God, it’s like being on the Game 
    of Thrones sick up here. So, I’ve seen a couple of signs about saying because 
    of heightened terrorism in France, they’ve got terrorist police mooching about. They’ve just 
    pulled in down there. Can you see them? Armed police. That’s counterterrorism. Got master 
    pew looking out. And there’s a seagull there. Just remember, never get a bus there. Make 
    sure you got a bus going right down to here. Gareth has gone in every single no 
    entry sign, ain’t it, Tim? Everyone. Every single no entry sign. I’m proud of him. 
    G’s gone in. Are you not going in with him, Tim? Do it. Be a rebel. Do ah you’re getting 
    done. It’s a garden. They’re just taking pictures of the garden. We’ll leave them in 
    case counterterrorism police shoots them. Look at that. Oh, look at 
    these. These are graves. Wow. Guess where we’re going now? 
    You’re going to chow at him, Sarah? I’m going to [ __ ] him when I see him. 
    It’s G’s fault. Blame Gareth. G corrupted him. I I absolutely didn’t dare him to go in that 
    entry sign either. Now, as late as 1997, they were still burying people here. As 
    late as 2022, they were still burying people here. Wow. Frank Reedell, rest in 
    peace, my dear friend. French friend. Hello. You two are in trouble. Why? Sarah’s not happy. 
    Cuz you you weren’t listening to the rules. Oh, back door. Not Do you know this person was 
    buried here in 2022? Wait till I get you home. I’m in trouble. Yes. And that she she said 
    to me she’s going to treat you. That’s not a threat. That’s a win-win. She just said, “Yeah, 
    come on then. Let’s go.” More of a graveyard. Oh, I think that’s the way down that. I think 
    that was the back entrance. No, you like going in back entrances you today, don’t you? Sarah, 
    you need to watch out tonight, mate. You come to Mount St. Michael, right? And you’ve got a 
    really, really, really long hose pipe. You can fill up your water as well for your motor home. 
    Oh, the boys have gone that way and come back. It’s quiet, is it? No. No. take you in one shot cuz they’re taking 
    you in. Feel a bit tight, but I mean you can see people everywhere. They keep walking 
    for them in piss me off. It’s just like Oh, look at all these swords and guns. What shop 
    to bring you in? We’ve got plenty of postcards, pictures, swords, guns. You can buy a gun 
    if you want. How much is that gun? €125. €20 for a samurai sword. 90 for an actual sword. It’s just all your 
    knickknacks and guns and swords. Just tell them you can buy guns and swords in here. No way. 
    Yeah, you can buy a gun over there for €125. This is the entrance. We’re leaving. There’s too 
    many people. I hope you’ve enjoyed the tour. We was meant to be doing two days of of this. 
    You might see another video of this cuz G might come back with Tim tomorrow, but I guarantee 
    you I’m not coming back here tomorrow. There too many people as beautiful as it is. 
    It’s just too many people coming in. Now, there are toilets as well as you just 
    come in, guys. €1. Um, and they told me they had no change for a 20 note. So, I 
    dug a my bag. Make sure you’ve got change. This bus is not packed at all. It’s a bit packed 
    on here, is it? Good evening. I need to stop. I must have B of these. But 
    I didn’t want to settle in. Next stop. Scan the code. Sim. What time 
    is next? Bus. This is changed now. Oh, no. Because that’s a further distance. 1712. 
    1712. 1737. No, then. So, go for a drink. So, I’ve got some baguettes. Look at these counts. 
    M. There’s got to be some significant to why there’s painted cows here. Don’t climb on the 
    cows. It says, “Oh, look at them over there. Get a picture of them, Gareth. They’re waiting 
    for you to go get a picture of them sat in the deck chair over road. Tim and Sarah, hold on. 
    Let’s go show you. Don’t get run over by bus.” Not saying he’s ded, but he’s a bit d. You see 
    these buses here, guys? These multi-way buses, they’re free. Don’t cost you anything. 
    How you going to get out of there now? Smile. Get up and get a good picture of 
    you. Would you like to try some French cookies? Yeah. And I’ve got you in a 
    white Americano. As you’ve noticed, this holiday we uh I don’t eat a lot of pastries. We’ve come to France just for this stuff. Oh yeah, that is good. That’s nice looking. You know 
    what? This is my second proper French coffee. That’s actually an Americano. Ginger 
    with some stuff. What a lovely pair. You get cookies. And I got a little surprise 
    for you there, my love. What’s that? Both of them. There you go. really nice coffee. Smile at the camera. Oh, that is good. You good? 
    After that long walk and walking in that castle. Yeah, it’s very good. I do think that one’s 
    steering though cuz I think all the caramels. This is not as good as that service station. No, 
    that will be this caramel latte that it’s banging, you know. You know what I think it is? The milk. 
    The caramel latte is amazing. You got to try that. Honey, honey, honey, honey, honey, honey. It’s wine time. We are in France. Burgers. See, 
    this is all you need in England. A barrier with a payment machine. Scan it, pay, it opens and 
    you’re in. Why can’t all these derelic car parks and counsel money by doing that? Don’t know. 
    Supposed to be swimming pool over there. I’ve just got off the bus about park. This is where we’ve 
    come. These are all the horses that I was showing you earlier. So, this is actually an equestrian 
    horse riding center right next door to this air. Don’t know the name of the air. I’ll show you in 
    a minute. In fact, I won’t show you in a minute cuz I’m pretty sure Gareth’s done it anyway. It’s 
    Picard Air. There is another that we’re going to move along to further down tomorrow only cuz the 
    village looks really nice and we like this area. We feel like we’ve done a lot of traveling 
    over the last few days. So, we’re going to move tomorrow just not very far. But look at the 
    horses. So, if you if you’re into horse riding, it’s not terrible. Um, it was €17 each way, but 
    that’s for all four of us. So, that’s what 3 6 9 12 plus 5. It’s about €4 each on the bus. So, 
    that’s €9 per couple. So, the €6 got I’ve served spent your bus there. Got showers over there, 
    parking over there, toilet, waste, bar. Yeah, it looks a bit run down. There’s that shower block. 
    But to be fair, I’d still got a bus from the other village. It is quite a long walk down that road. 
    We are going to move on to the other day tomorrow like I’ve said. Yeah, it looks like an outside 
    bar over there. Bar, but because it’s winter, it’s closed. Outside barbecue area as well. But 
    I can’t see a swimming pool. There’s pictures online. Must be inside. This will do for tonight. 
    I might fill up the water and have a shower. I don’t think you’re going to see me if I rest at 
    night cuz I have blood nodes today. Now here we have got bins. There is a toilet dump and there is 
    water and you can pull in here for 10 minutes if you would like to just empty your pisser empty 
    your bins. It’s not do you know it’s all right little park but it has got a now in the height 
    of summer I imagine this is booming. It’s got an outdoor pool. It has got chalets that you can 
    rent. It’s got a bar. It has got showers that are not open at the moment because they’re renovating 
    them, which is understandable because it’s winter season, but it’s still got working toilets at 
    the moment. Like I said, you’ve got your Delining Point waters and it’s free electric here. The 
    other one I do believe is €6 a night. So, God, everybody’s moved. Loads of people have gone from 
    here. It was full earlier. What’s that about? So, my van’s just behind this van over here. It’s 
    actually a nice little stop, not going to lie. And it’s going to be quieter because we’re not right 
    down there. So Sarah and Tim’s birthday tomorrow. Sarah’s 50. No, Sarah’s 35 tomorrow. So we’re 
    going to go to the village, possibly a couple of wines, celebrate Sarah’s birthday. So I’m going 
    to sign off here. Thanks for watching. I’m not going to record anymore tonight cuz I I’ve got a 
    runny nose and I’m cold. So I’m going to go get warm in me van. Might have some French baguettes 
    and some tomato soap and possibly a glass of wine.
