1. Would love to see the grocery store when you shop. Grocery stores in foreign countries is interesting

2. Steve – tip for another video: take the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe! Also a very lovely town in Normandy, probably even nicer than Cherbourg.

3. came back same day after a four an a half thousand mile tour… still a broke musician but hell I saw some sights.. luv your vids x

4. Looks nice, but having just come back from St Malo, it's a pity you weren't arriving/leaving from there, although it's a smaller port and just one route to mainland UK (Portsmouth), ten minutes walk from the terminal and you're in the most beautiful, scenic, charactered old walled granite city, with walkable ramparts, Islands reachable at low tides, gorgeous shops and restaurants, and easy access to other lovely towns such as Dinard across the river, or even to Jersey/Guernsey. I'd heartily recommend a week there to anyone travelling by train/foot, indeed I think Brittany ferries do a "cruise" to St Malo in the off season with included meals in the city and in their a la carte restaurant that also looks good value.

5. Steve,
   Always a pleasure to tag along with you!!

6. I'm glad to see that we and the French are still giving V's For Victory

7. You made the best of it, Steve, and it was interesting to see. Cheers

8. With your passion, you would make a great speaker at fundraisers for this and many other lost railways

9. Great video Steve, despite your poor time on the Barfleur. Cherbourg looks a great town to explore indeed, looking forward to your next one – my home town !! 🙂

10. you stumbled upon one of the major French Navy bases there, but it’s hard to not look at their smaller ships in the base from the ferry

11. I'd say you've managed to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear here. Cherbourg looked lovely and the ferry crossing was a lesson for us all.

12. Great video school holidays 🤣🤣

13. I don't comment much on videos on YouTube but I just want to say I've been going through a bad time with my mental health and your videos help me to relax as I have wanderlust and once I'm feeling up to it, I think I'm going to put a ferry to France on my to do list, just hope the missus fancies it too.

14. Jeez-oh, I crossed on the Barfleur about 20 years ago, and she's still sailing! Plus Auberge de Jeunesse means Youth Hostel (but I daresay you've been told that many times already).

15. The construction work in Cherbourg harbour is because Brittany is building a railway line. In thé future they will take the lories out or the ship in Cherbourg, load them on trains and send them to the south of France and Spain

16. Loving all your travels Steve. Any more train journeys coming up ? Keep up the great content. William

17. For months the nighttime low temperature here has been at or above 78F which is about 25.5C. I’m about 100 miles north of Miami, Florida, mind you. Keeping the apartment at that temperature when I’m at home has been expensive.

18. It was wonderful to see some of Cherbourg. I've wanted to visit it ever since seeing the posters long ago for the Deneuve film "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", Nothing like an amble with Steve around a town and its ferry area. Thank you, Steve. P.S. You say the "out" in "about" just like the English-speaking Canadians. Many of them must have Scottish ancestors!

19. Love your ferry videos Steve, we recently went from Newhaven to Dieppe on the ferry, its a 4 hour crossing, it is very similar to Cherbourg, but has a fantastic market on a Saturday, i think it would make great content for your channel if you ever want another ferry video.
    Keep up the great work!

20. Great Video. More like this please.

21. Steve great video. Indeed you should get over to Normandy its has some nice places, I think Ryanair fly to a couple of the towns, look them up?

22. ps, Nice sunset shots at the end. 👍

23. Listerine is only for tourists Steve 😁

24. I still liked the video; though you can see why some companies have booked/allocated seats? Cheers 😊

25. Auberge de Jeunesse = Youth Hostel 🙂
    Love from Denmark

26. I'm thinking about doing a bit of a tour of the best ferry journeys you can take from UK shores. Right from a few hours up to overnight.

    Fancy giving us all a top 10?

27. Normandy and Brittany are beautifull. Just came back from a trip there. Highlights WW2 beachesmusea and cemeteries, St Malo and Mont St Michel especially on super hightide

28. I had a couple of great weekends in Cherbourg with a bunch of skins in a ska band back in the 90s. Ahh the Cadillac bar fond memories.

29. Thanks for sharing that serene Channel sunset footage Steve. Way better than thwle madding crowds in the public rooms!

30. I bet the second drink had a "wee draught" in it.

31. Your videos are ALWAYS so enjoyable, even when not everything goes the way you’d planned. You make even a mop and bucket fun! 😄

32. Brilliant video, Steve. I have more respect for you not filming where there are lots of families than if you did. And if anyone sees this before watching, don’t skip forward when Steve offers you the chance to do so. The whole video is worth watching.

33. Cherbourg looked amazing, a beautiful French town. Pity your ferry trip wasn't the best.

34. I thought Cherbourg was fascinating and looks well worth a visit. And just when I was thinking there isn't enough black and yellow hazard tape highlighted on youtube, you deliver!!!

35. Love this video I'm going on a cruise in octiber and cherbourg is our final port

36. If you like roundabouts Steve, you should check out those in the Sultanate of Oman. They treat them as almost sacred places and sometimes build castles on them! One has a statue/monument of two giant coffee pots in their pouring positions. Someone should do a documentary on them starting at Muscat and ending up at Salalah. I recommend hiring a 4WD and camping out along the way – you can camp almost anywhere! Hotels are expensive!
    Skip Dubai and go on to Oman – more authentic and the people are fabulous – maybe the friendliest in the world! Just don't go between May and October if you are a Scotsman – your eyeballs might boil !
    I watch your offerings mainly because of the ships, boats and buildings you portray so well. Thank you for your efforts and contributions.

37. Saint Malo is a beautiful ferry port, especially arriving early in the morning. I am amazed at the cost of the foot passenger ticket, in the old days that would include a car and four passengers.

38. Really nice town for a day trip over in France when the weathers good

39. I can remember being on this ferry when it was new. Thought it would be scrap by now

40. Almost everywhere you go in Europe you document the decline in the UK. It's a very valuable exercise too as people don't necessarily realise how things are falling apart in Britain particularly if they travel little.

41. Great video with very useful travel information regarding school holidays. Cherbourg certainly looks like somewhere to explore.

42. 2:33 Auberge de Juenesse = Youth Hostel

43. Ive never seen a ferry that busy ever….thanks for your amazing insights

44. Enjoyed it anyway Steve, Cherbourg looked interesting.

45. Steve. Auberge de Jeunesse = Youth Hostel. I have just had a similar for passenger experience leaving the port of Livorno. In fact, I had to call a taxi!

46. Brilliant stuff steve loved it

47. Barfleur and Honfleur are both small communes in Normandy. Never been to Barfleur, but Honfleur is a lovely little port and worth a visit.
