The videos are filmed in June 2023. I just got to editing because the footage was lost.
Last week I realised I had accidentally deleted two months worth of pictures and videos from Dropbox, including the whole trip to France.
I contacted support and they managed to recover everything even though the recovery system reaches back only 30 days (and I didnt even have 1 year recovery rollback enabled).
Very cheeki breeki. Thank you Dropbox Support team.

It actually helps in one of my trips after Boris. Since I have same low budget
I was once, politely but forcibly, removed from the members area (I was not a member) of the Grand Casino after I hit a winning streak at the tables and made about £5k. To their credit, they let me keep the money, but I was escorted to the exit by a couple of strategically shaved gorillas in very expensive tuxedos. I asked the maitre d' if they would still have thrown me out if I had *lost* £5k, and he smiled very politely and gestured to the door. It was definitely the classiest way I've ever been thrown out of somewhere, 10/10, would recommend.

Normally I would get angry as they kicked you out because you won so much, but at the same time you did very blatantly break a rule, so they have the authority to do so. But hey, you got 5k! Call it a win!

I know we eat frog legs in Argie but it's a decadent style thing. As in there's maybe this one restaurant somewhere that happens to be very old school and has been there for 80 years and they still have that on their menu. But at least frog tastes like something. Snail just tastes like whatever sauce you add to it.

Some of Boris' best comedy lines come from his travel videos. Also, Boris hanging around a yacht club but chatting it up with the pigeons is hilariously on-brand.
As a french citizen, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here, even though it's not the cheapest part of the country. And yes frog legs taste like chicken, reminds me of of how my father used to make them... I hope Artyom is happy where he is right now, maybe enjoying some frog legs 😄

Boris melting in 28c is hilarious to me. I live in Texas. It was 37-43C here for a month and a half straight while Boris was in France
It's videos like these that comfort me. I sometimes dream of traveling the world and seeing all the rich people places, only to realize the higher price does not mean higher quality. A small town with clean air and good food is leagues better than the most expensive places on earth. Why try to view the ocean from Monaco, Miami, or New York when the same sea is out in front of a small town with wonderful people, good food, and cheap accommodations? Thank you for this Boris, it makes my wallet feel fat and happy. Also frog legs aren't restricted to France, they're commonly eaten in the Southeastern "deep south" of the US and even up into the Midwest. Not a delicacy but good nonetheless.

In American swamp regions we eat frog legs too. Absolutely delicious! It's about halfway between a firm white fish and dark meat chicken. If you've ever had grouper before, it's a good comparison. But here's the trick. You wanna flour them reeeeeally light in corn flour with just a little salt, black pepper, and a tiny bit of paprika. Then deep fry of course. Brings out the natural meatiness and neatly hides the little bit of gaminess.

Fun fact le quartier le plus pauvre des France est… a Nice. Je pense que la vie est beaucoup plus chère dans d’autres grandes villes (Paris ou Lyon il me semble). J’ai pas compris la partie sur l’odeur par contre mdrrr
Loving the daily uploads, keep up the good work comrade!
I like how Boris is so honest. He posts about the good and the bad. About being happy and about being sad. About travelling through Europe and trying to survive on 50 euros a month. Not like everyone else who tries to show off the money and happiness they don't have on social media. Your honesty Boris is something rare on the internet. Thank you for keeping it real

I personally feel that "anything above 20 degrees is too hot for me" Same Boris same
Iceland would definitely be an interesting place for Boris to visit, I'm keen on seeing what the food prices are considering that they have to import everything
i've been seeing so many boris uploads lately. puts a smile on my shashlik
What an honor, i can tell that many french fellow see your videos and follow you in your journey, very glad to know exactly what the patreon money is used for, no BS, thanks Boris.
If you want a gopnik city in France: it's Brest during a shifty weather. Plus it has the same name as another city in Eastern Europe.
Boris visited France in Mid-June? That's exactly when I was visiting Europe for the first time! I never went into France, but a lot of his video reminded me of my time in Italy!
As a baguette lander and viewer Boris, i'm glad you came to visit us. Sadly, the french Riviera, aka south east all along Mediterranean Sea, is expensive and mostly a tourist trap, not only for restaurants (those snails looked meh), but prices, rental and stuff. Best way to discover true french food and stuff is too go in very isolated and no so touristic places, like some parts of Savoie in the Alps, in the Pyrenees near border with Spain, center of France in Auvergne in the volcano chains, or deep Burgundy or Brittany. For snails and frogs legs, it's indeed a legend. We ate them only during great dinners, especially around Christmas, but sometimes, a good dozen of snails is good ^^ As for Cannes, it's pronounced "CAN" like a tin can. I also a bottle of Ricard, I hope you drank it with water (or even with a touch of mint syrup), and not pure, like many foreigners do x) For the smell, I'm pretty sure it comes from the sea. On beaches of nice, it smell always bad see weed. Can't wait for second video anyway. And at all cost (and I said that to any foreigner who would like to visit France), AVOID Paris, and the 50 major cities, for your safety and health. France isn't safe any more in any big town, especially for tourists.

France has quite a lot of beautiful places, and the country is very diverse, i would just advise you to avoid the overly hyped famous places. Paris is a bad idea, some nice things to see/do but too much of a hassle. Nice-cannes-fréjus-toulon etc on the southeastern coast is pretty but expensive and very "touristy". Otherwise, almost everywhere will be of interest. Between the sea, ocean, mountains, diverse architectures, forests, etc. you will have a lot of options. Avoid the highways, drive through little towns, and ask for local food / drinks in restaurants, they will almost always have a local specialty they will proudly tell you about :)

Great to see there are so many French Gopniks around. Magnifique ❤
French lady here ! We eat snails usually for Christmas, it's a meal we don't eat often but it's kinda traditional ♡ Mussels are pretty much common, we eat them at home, at school, etc. Pro pronunciation tips : you can pronounce Cannes... "can" ! The S is silent.
Boris. The international man of mystery and slavness is on the move again.
Iceland would actually be a very good idea for a video.
cool video, remember that france isn't only expensive weird cuisine, every region has their own good (and bad) stuff !
Thank you Boris. Smiled and laughed through whole video. And, yes. Iceland next!
It’s nice to see you visit France as a French, very funny and entertaining video as usual. 👍
I'm really happy you visited one of the best parts of France, maybe not for tourism but living there is truly exceptional. I'm surprised you find that the city has a bad smell. If you were smelling it only close to the airport, I would say it would be the wastewater treatment plant, but as you smell it even in the center of the city I don't really know. If there is wind, as it seems on the video, we got a nice smell of seawater but it smells good, not bad haha. Some points: -The pebbles you see on the beach are here to prevent the sea to take away the entire beach. Thanks to them, there is a beach. -The bread blin hybrid (5:20) as nothing to do with bread, neither with blin except for appearance. This is "socca" and it is made with chickpea flour, water and olive oil.
Boris I hope you are doing well
I was in Canne and Monaco in April of 1997. Still cold by their standards, but for a hardy western Canadian like me, it was shorts weather. The locals were still bundled in their fur coats. I don't remember it smelling like a porta-shitter though. And being a Canuck, I drank for free most nights.
This videos should really be titled “Boris in Monaco”. The France is secondary ;))
06:00 What did Boris say? I just could understand the first 3 words. But anyway, I'm glad you got your footage back 🙂 The Dropbox Support team is the best 🥰
IM SO HAPPYY, BORIS come to my city!! I live at Nice, city center, as an Armenian-Russian immigrant 14kid I came here long time ago from Armenia when I was like 3 or 4 and I started watch you video Boris since my 9yo in 2018, I've never expected you to come but... I live here, I lived in Armenia and yea I agree that Nice smell in some part (50% of the city) not really good but we'll after 10years in here you forget about this smell but you miss the smell of fresh Caucasian mountain, forest and neighborhood with rusty jhigouli. Well thanks for coming, I hope you enjoyed the city (expect for the smell) Also (there some chance that the hotel you rent at cannes, the carrelage can be placed by my dad)
Damn a hotel next to the Monaco track. Very nice Boris.
