hello everyone how are you I miss you so much we are staying at home for the moment and I decided to make a little refreshment in the bedroom so I'm taking the measurements of this like dressing and because we want to put a slide doors now we didn't put the slide doors from the beginning because we had always this roof problem and with the problem with the linking and now it's dry this corner was damaged and i'm painting it and After everything painted and everything is dry we finally can close this dressing with the slide doors. Yeah, would be wonderful! Well, while I start to paint one side I will paint another and here a little bit and there a little bit but just a little bit because after we are going out and And we are going shopping in Marseille in Italy. Let's go! This market is very big and it's in Ventimiglia. I'm not sure I showed this one ever in my videos, so we're gonna go there today. And you come with us and we also took a trottinette for Matt, because the market is huge. It's early morning, 8.30 or something. Yes, we will drive home. Good day for Kouikouikoui, Kouikouikoui, what what what! People are doing sports. We arrived to Italy, I'm so happy that we, look this is the old Ventimiglia, we always find a parking here, it's already nine o'clock, normally if we arrive something like 30 minutes later there's no parking space. Okay let's go shopping and eat croissant and drink. cappuccino. First we will pay parking until noon. I think it will be enough. Et comme ça, c'est bon. After you have to walk a little bit about five minutes maybe. So we pass this bridge over there and now we are in Ventimiglia. And welcome to a very famous Friday market in Italy, in Ventimiglia, a very, very big market and if you are a shopper and you visit Cote d'Azur, you probably already heard about this market, so it's only on Fridays, okay, and you can find here almost everything, there There is the clue. Clothes, shoes, bags, glasses, food, a little bit of food, of course all local Italian products. Of course while you are here you will take a piece of parmigiano. This market stretches along the seaside and it's very beautiful. And it's all by the sea, like this, to infinity. In the first place, we came here for the blankets. Good morning! We need two blankets. Well, I'll take it. Canapes and duchesses. Two beige, okay, so this, this one, this one. This one. This one is made here. Ah, ok. Yes, this one. This one is mine. Is it good? Yes, it's good. Thank you. Bye. Have a good day. Five years for this small, it's like a pareo. You can use it on the beach. Excuse me. Should I go with the dress today or not? Most of the time we come here when we need to buy something for the house and sometimes I pick the dresses from here. You can find Italian fabric which is super good. These dresses are Italian and it's 30 euro for a dress. The quality is really good for these lemon dresses, very nice. Well not all clothes is made in Italy. In this market there are lots of asian Thank you. also and these beautiful bags I believe it was written that it come from Madagascar. Very nice, I love this style. Well anyway you see you can find lots of lovely Things here and you can pay only by cash, only by cash, yeah, this is you have to keep in mind. It's very hot now, the fresh bottle of water is just what we need. It's about 10 I think and you see there are much more people, it's always better to come in the morning, you will see close to the lunch time, it would be super super crowded. Well, it's not a lunch yet, and let's drink Italian cappuccino. The prices in Italy are always attractive. Here, for example, €1.80 for a croissant with pistache, cream pistache, or €2 for a cappuccino. Voilà, it's amazing. Usually when we come to visit this Friday market, we come early morning because of the parking, because of the less people and less hot to do all the shopping we need and after we stay until noon. to eat italian pizza or pasta but today we're not gonna stay longer here we're gonna go back home i just wanna show you that this market is like it stretches along the coastline in Ventimiglia And so here is the beach, and there's some parts with the private beach where you can rent a sun chair, but I never personally swim here, and I don't see the people swimming here a lot, so I wouldn't recommend for like a beach day. We only made a half of the market. And it is until the border here, the next town, I guess. It's very big and there are lots of people. Last time I've been here, I think in March. And now they have all summer collections, lots of dresses. Sometimes I buy the dresses from here. Today I not feel like I wanna buy something. And it's too hot, it's very hot. Okay to go out from this market you anyway have to pass through so and also on our way back I want to go to a food market. They all speak French, you see, because it's on a border and it's about 25 minutes from Montaigne. And you can also come here by train. The train station is not that far. So I would come by train, you know, if I don't have a car. These dresses, for example, are from Bangladesh, I think. It's just 10 euro. They are nice also. you see lots of stuff many many things but we need to go back home let's go go go go go go go let's go i don't know if you remember here we are in the food market i made a video about this covered morning market in Montimilia where you can find only food It's not enough. It's not enough. The yellow ones, the brown ones, the very good ones, the plastic ones, I don't want to pay for them. Give me the necessary ones. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, that was a last stop. Now we need to go to the parking because we paid only until noon. And we need to hurry up. There are people, there are people, there are people. A lot of people. It's really warm. And you, how are you? I'm fine. As always. Come on, come on. Oh la la! This is Parmigiano. Oh my God, this is so, so good. This is dried tomato. Wow Isn't it a nice plate? It has a super good taste. Super good. What is this? It's good to put in the sauce too. The sauce, the sauce. I'm going to eat later. I'm going to eat now. Thank you. It fell twice. So, let's keep it. Let's keep it.
