Travelling to Paris to Try the World’s BIGGEST Croissant!

We're going to eat the stinkiest cheese on top of the apple that we'll have. That is the most ridiculous croissant I will ever have in my life. Max, you're not going to believe what I'm about to tell you. Tomorrow we're going to Paris. What? To try the world's biggest croissant. It is absolutely huge, like massive. But we're going to have to do challenges along the way. Bit like what we did when we went to Scotland. We're going to need to unlock three challenges before we're able to try the most huge croissant in the whole world. Mate, I'm lost for words. You've just sprung this on me on a Tuesday afternoon. I'm going to Paris. Tomorrow we have a flight. You're going to need to go and pack. And just like for the Mars bar in Scotland, we're going to be tight for time because the shop closes at 7pm. Why do we always make these videos stressful for ourselves, Armand? I mean, I guess it would just make the huge croissant more enjoyable when we get there. A hell of a flight for tomorrow. It's quite easy, it's just skyscrapers. Armand has just told me we're going to France. So my idea is to find the most French outfit ever and surprise him. I'm going to look ridiculous. I'm so sorry to all French people in advance. Hello, sir. Do you have a French outfit? Something to represent France of any kind. Oh my goodness. This is perfect. This is, oh my gosh. That is terrifying. I've secured the goods. This was not my idea. No, this was my idea. I might look ridiculous, but I always look ridiculous. So that's okay. So this is 5.30. We've got a flight in two hours to Paris. He told me he had a surprise there. So I don't know what to expect. Armand, am I interrupting anything? Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm ready for France. Oh, Max, in Paris. Okay, it's five in the morning. I didn't realise that. When we're travelling, one of us at least needs to look silly. The first time we were both in kilts. Now I'm in a beret. Do you know how embarrassing that is to me, Max? I'm going to my home country and I'm with an idiot. Have you learnt the anthem? We headed off to catch a train to the airport. I'm so sorry to everyone on that train who had to smell my garlic chain. I have to say, no English person is batting an eyelid at my outfit at once. I cannot believe I got through security looking like this. Three security guards asked me where am I going. As if it wasn't clear enough, to be honest. This is quite exciting. I don't know why no one is dressed like me. I'm the only one who's taking this seriously. I'm looking like a prison. Ready for Paris. You're ridiculous, mate. Genuinely. Let's go, mate. Allez, as they say. On the plane for our first ever Our Max plane journey, mate. This is groundbreaking. Thank you very much. Hello. Our mum must have really bad perfume on. Everyone was staring at him on the way to our seats. I don't think they were staring at me, mate. I am gassed. This is challenge jar time. But this is the first challenge jar on the plane and I'm being so loud. Challenge number one. Are you ready? Yeah. Every macaron flavour, just three words. What does that even mean? Every macaron flavour. You're probably going to have to try lots of macarons. How do you pronounce it? Macron? No, not Macron. That's the president's name, Max. Macaron. Oh, every macaron flavour. But it's the food named after your president. It must be good. No, the president's name is different, Max. Is the president named after this dish? President Macron. You will be ordering as well. I didn't really foresee this. You didn't foresee that I'd wear a chain of garlic? No, I didn't. I didn't think you would be that much of an idiot. We've just landed. We've got about six hours to get all of the challenges done and try this beautiful croissant. The flight attendant said merci to you and she looked at me and said bye-bye. It's began. The looking, the stares. The stares have begun. Oh, God. Oh, the smiles. Oh, nice. Being French, it felt great to be back in my home country. But then I remembered what Max was wearing and we probably had the most awkward bus ride of our lives. Wow, I look like an idiot. You do. Look, they've rolled out the red carpet for you, Max. Oui, they've rolled out the red carpet for our Max. That's what they've done. What? No? I look good, no? I'm French. Oh, it's another smile. He said I'm a vampire. Somehow, the border agents actually let me into the country and so it was time to head into the city and start our first challenge of the day. Is this place known for macarons? It's President's. Known for its macarons. But it's in the Champs-Élysées, President's house. No way. And this shop is right near it. So it's actually quite funny. Macron lives quite close to the macarons. To complete the challenge, we're going to head to the nicest macaron place in the whole world. But this is it. This is the French equivalent of Oxford Street, if you like. But much more bougie, much more luxury, much more French. And I look like this. Yeah, you look perfect. This shop that we're going to is called La Durée. It is the oldest, most traditional house that makes macarons. It's known for having so many different flavours of macarons and is also known to be the most premium macaron in Paris. Maybe the whole world, let's say. This is bougie, I want to do this. Am I going to be allowed in? Oh my... I wonder if the macarons are massive. No, they're massive. This is so exciting. It's so colourful. Dude, this is so cool. Hello. Can we have all of the flavours here, please? All of the flavours? Come on, you've gone mental. We're getting one of each. It's so colourful. Here we are, Max. It's in a bougie bag as well. Stop screaming about the bag. Oh, there's a blue one. We have the list here. All the lists is in fancy writing, I can't read any of it. First flavour, Almond. We're going to go with the chocolate. Chocolate first. This is the first bite of Paris. This is your first bite of a macaron. I've never had a macaron. Oh my god, that is so good. Mate, you just ate the whole thing. Oh, it was good. That is so good. I have missed it. Mate, you've taken me to a spot. The second one, coffee flavour, Max. Oh my god. That is delicious. Thank goodness they only have 12 flavours. Because otherwise, we would be broke. I reckon we should try rose. Look at the inside of that. Whoa, it's sharp. You're eating a flower. The flavour is rose, Max. It's super sharp. It feels like I'm eating soap. Really nice soap. Salted caramel. Caramel in the middle. This is the best challenge ever. Thank you, guys. How about we go man for man? Macaron for macaron. How about we go president for president? Okay, let's go. I'm going to take the blue one. Oh, I am jealous. Mary Antoinette tea flavour. That literally tastes like English breakfast tea. You're trying it. Oh, I ate all of mine. Mine tasted like strawberry jam. You know the strawberry jam in a Victorious brand? Yeah, tea flavoured. That's literally like an English breakfast tea. Oh, so... It's like a... Herbal. Yeah. Should we give Brandon his first ever? Go on, let's... What are we giving? I'm waiting. Making me hungry this whole time watching this. Let's give him vanilla flavoured. Brandon's first macaron. Macaron. Is it good? What does it taste like? Tastes like vanilla. That's the flavour. This is orange blossom. So another flower. Wow. That tastes like hand soap. That is disgusting. To finish it, that was disgusting. I'm just like that. Challenge one is done. We've been so loud, we are getting kicked out. So let's get the next challenge. What is it? Have Max use the metro by himself to meet you at a location. You're joking. Unbelievable. Brilliant profile picture. What? The Eiffel Tower. That gives me an idea. You're going to meet me at the Eiffel Tower, Max. We're near the Arc de Triomphe, which is the other really well-known site. So you're going to meet me at the most well-known site, the Eiffel Tower. We said farewell to the macaron and headed just a short walk over to the start of our next challenge. All right, Max. We're at the Arc de Triomphe where this challenge starts. I'm dreading it, Armand. Your job is to get to the Eiffel Tower in under half an hour and also use the metro to get there. Brandon and I are going to grab a taxi and we'll meet you under the Eiffel Tower. So you're leaving me? Yeah. You have no phone, nothing apart from instructions in French and talking to people in French. But I look like this. I literally look like an idiot. It was your choice. I did not tell you to wear this. It is self-destruction. To be honest, if I were Max, I would be slightly nervous here. Tour Eiffel. Où est Tour Eiffel? Okay. Où est Tour Eiffel? Where is Arc de Triomphe? I'm pointing in the right direction. I would suggest maybe you start at the metro. I'm nervous! The timer starts now. Good luck to Max. Should we get a taxi? Okay, that was a low. That was the toilet, not the metro. How do you think Max is doing, Brandon? I think he hasn't even got through the barriers yet. Okay. Charles de Gaulle et al. Oh, God. I'm so nervous. Please put on my glasses. Okay, at least now I look intelligent. Excuse-moi. Où est le tour d'Eiffel? Yeah. Oh, thank you so much. Sorry, sir. I look like an idiot. Everyone's staring at me. Because of the garlic. Thank you for your help. M6. Oh, M6. Beautiful. Amazing. Bye-bye. M6. So far, these challenges are lovely for me. I've had to eat some macarons. I'm now in a taxi heading to the Eiffel Tower. There's worse things in life, huh? M6. Okay. Okay, straight line to Ber-Hakim. Tour Eiffel. One, two, three, four, five. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Armand, how dare you leave me? Oh, this is so nerve-wracking. Okay. Here we are. We've arrived at the Eiffel Tower. We've done about 10 minutes. Max has 20 minutes to meet us on the other side of the Eiffel Tower. I know I'm extroverted, but this is especially hard for me. Because I just look like an idiot. Max has 10 minutes left. It's been 19 minutes. I wonder where he is right now. Bam. I expected Brandon and Armand to wait for me at the train station, like I'm some hero. But I think I'm going to have to find them. I don't even know where to go. So there, I'll go. There it is. Okay, right. But how do I get to it? It seems still pretty far away. Realistically, from now, if Max was really efficient, he could be here. I really hope he's all right. It's starting to stress me out. He's got five minutes. I'd feel really, really bad if the reason why Max vanishes from the face of the earth is because of this challenge. I can't wait to see the look on their faces. Little old Max, asked in French where the Eiffel Tower is. I bet you can spot me from a mile away. Not bad architecture, that. That is the definition of good architecture. The things are maxed too. It's just gone 28 minutes. Max has two minutes to make it. How do I get in? I'm going to pass the police. That was never a good sign. Come on, Max. I'm getting the most dirty looks ever. It has just been 30 minutes. Max has not made it in what is sort of a reasonable time to make it. So now, I start to worry. Mon ami! Oh my god! No way! Mon ami! Ah! Mon ami! I was literally saying that it's just gone 30 minutes. Literally bang on 30 minutes. This is... Oh, oh ----. I met the nicest people so far. Randomisation, I was like, I don't know where anything is. Luckily, these two people laughed at me. That's the trick. If they laugh at you, your outfit, then you can talk to them. Man, challenge two done. That is so good, right. Max, you did so well to get here. It's only right that you pick the last challenge. Okay, which one tickles your fancy, Max? Oh sugar, I picked out two. I picked out two. Max, that's not the concept. I picked out two. Mate, it's because they're all folded on top of each other. You know what? I've read the two. What is it? And we're going to do both. No! Are you ready? One is right behind us. Okay, one of the challenges is climb the Eiffel Tower. Okay, that's all right. And then the second challenge is eat the stinkiest cheese you can find. So how do we combine both? We have to eat the stinkiest cheese. It is the perfect combination. Well, let's try and find a fromagerie. Max, I found a cheesemonger that is a 10-minute walk away. Okay. We've got to go to cheesemonger. Mate, let's take the metro. I know how to take the metro. Let's take the metro. Oh my god. This is the cheese of cheese shops. Oh my god. The stench is like... Okay. Oh my god. I've never been in a room that smells like this in my life. Believable. I love this smell. I literally can't breathe. What's best and stinkiest? After a quick fromage 101, we were shown the stinkiest cheese in the whole shop. We've just found the stinkiest cheese in the shop. We're going to eat the stinkiest cheese on top of the apodawa. It's our secret stinky plant. So you have somewhere that sells cheese. You're never very far from a boulangerie. I'm going to teach you how to order bread. This is the most common bread in France. Okay. Every morning we go and buy this bread. They will say... Okay. Thank you. I managed! You qualified to be Frenchman. Okay. Well done. French people are so nice. Yeah, they are. This is so great. We've had a great time. And it's now time to go up the Eiffel Tower to try these. I'm so excited because I'm slightly hungry. I look so French right now. I'm what looks like a normal Brit. But that is just like how a normal French person is. A normal French person does not wear... I've got my cheese. I've got my baguette. Oh, sorry. Okay. Let's go. Okay. Do you know where I've hidden the cheese and baguette? I've hidden the cheese and baguette in the bag. No one will know. Hopefully they can't smell my cheese from my bag. You're a bit nervous, eh? Are you joking me? How am I going to pass security looking like this? I've got a baguette sticking out of my bag. I think the French people were actually starting to accept me. They led us into the Eiffel Tower with both our baguette and sticky cheese. So challenge number three and four, we're officially on. I'm on. The stair marathon begins. How many steps do you reckon to the top of the Eiffel Tower? 1,606, I think. That's just a wild guess. In the comments, can you let us know how many steps to the top of the Eiffel Tower there are? Look at this. We are already like really high. I'm a bit nervous, mate. We're at the Eiffel Tower, Armand. And I fell for you. Oh, that is clear. I know. I think we've arrived. Oh my God. We are quite high. Mate, come here. Come here. Not a bad view, Armand. What do we do here? We have to kiss? Thank you for taking me to Paris. Well, we still got a croissant to eat. I know. Should we climb the rest of this Eiffel Tower? This cheese is going to taste so good because we are working so hard. Oh, it is like, oh. I am starting to get a bit nervous. I'm exhausted. Here we are. Wow, we've made it. Sorry, guys. Everyone turned around. Well done, Max. It's stunning, Max. Absolutely stunning. Do you know what's more stunning? It's cheese in a baguette. We are going to try. It smells ripe. Max. Guys, can you not smell that? Yes, sir. Fromage at Eiffel Tower. Obviously. I mean, come on. This is the best cheese sandwich ever. We got so much. Don't worry. We'll give it around. Cheers. That's not bad, huh? That's not bad. C'est magnifique. I mean, now my breath permanently stinks, but that's okay. Guys, the cheese was great. Don't worry. Cheese was good. Oh God, I'm making new friends. Eating a bit of cheese with Max. I never thought that that would be a romantic moment. But when you're on the top of the Eiffel Tower, I guess anything's romantic. The rumors are true. We have been joking about, but we have to get down to the shop within one hour. We gotta go. We literally gotta go. It was a wild race down to the bottom. It took so long to get down that when we started our descent, it was daylight. But when we reached the bottom, it was dark. And nearly there. Last stretch. We started this adventure when it was dark. Now it's dark again. What have we done to get to this point? Mate, all for a croissant. And goodness, it's gonna be worth it. We went to have some macarons. Went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. We had some cheese at the top of the Eiffel Tower. All for this. It's so worth it. It's real. It's so worth it. Mate, what a journey. Il va vous dire. Under the name Max Chacom. D'accord. Vous allez attendre son collection. Oh la la la la. Oh. There's no way. Oh, this is so worth it. Let's give this a try. We've acquired the goods. How do we even get in? Look how big it is. This is huge. C'est magnifique. It's as big as my head. It smells so buttery. Oh my god. It looks like an emoji. Come on, let's give it a go. This is the best cheers of all. Cheers, dude. Oh my god. That is so good. Oh, mate. That was worth it. That is the most ridiculous croissant I will ever have in my life. And there's no better person to try it with than you, mate. This has been another adventure. The real question... Is how are we going to eat this, Owen? I don't know. I've no idea. I've never been able to speak, but I've got a terrible feeling about it. I mean, I guess we just have breakfast for the next week.
