    I love the tour of the villages and the historical finds, especially of WWII. The dance hall was really interesting with the trunks & clothing and pictures on the walls. Love history! I'm sure it was fun to ride the sidecar too. Great video all around! Je l'aime! (I love it)

    I really like your evocative footage of the dance hall. Some say you can hear the noises of the past within paintwork, your film brought that feeling to life

    That was such a nice day out. I'm so glad that you succeeded in getting the motorcycle combination out for the day, too! I loved that upstairs room covered in all of those old editorial cartoons. I'd be tempted to try to retrieve them somehow, although that would probably end in a pile of plaster bits and shredded paper 😄

    Peter and Anna - many thanks for the trip on the BMW motorcycle!
    I can understand that it causes a stir when you come around.
    It was some very worn stairs, to the former "virgin cage" - I lived in a place where the stairs were just as worn, but with metal cats on them! - Some amazing caricature drawings !!

    I LOVE Old towns, old buildings, items, etc. Here in the 🇺🇸 I've never been able to observe anything as old as what you're showing us! Europe is so beautiful!!! Thanks to you and you tube I'm able ride down those streets, walk into those buildings and marvel at what nature and man have made!!! I feel emotional at times because I know I'll never be able to do that...
    Thank you so much for sharing with me! I thoroughly enjoy everything on your channel!

    Thanks for the tour of some of your local towns. I remember when you were in Gargilesse during the pandemic and you sat on that same balcony overlooking such an interesting town having a cup of coffee or tea in the cold. I was sent to visit there two years ago by someone at Château de LaLande and recognized it as somewhere you had shown us. I have now been there twice and thought of you two on that balcony both times I was there. It was such a strange time but I was lucky enough to see Gargilesse fully open again and sat on the same balcony. Love your vlogs 😊

    Sounds great Peter you did well on repair as you do :) thanks for the drive and a little perusing the shops and town a lively little down but not overly so. Very charming area of France you live I bet you know loads of people. I hope it will be turned back into the community hall it was but these days more into modern homes. Those cars could be restored but would need a lot of fixing :) I doubt even Phil from Bailleuil would pick them up. If Anna is still sewing fabric would be something:) the old cameras and film projector is cool. That would look nice in your WC that piece. Lovely cafe (sigh) so much history is amazing and outdoor amenities/waterways.

What is a metal stirrup on the front of the sidecar for a spotlight? thanks once again for the trip, see you soon x
