Conan O’Brien: (grinning, arms wide open)
"Ladies and gentlemen, mesdames et messieurs, baguette enthusiasts of all ages—welcome to the most outrageous, star-studded, and ridiculously extravagant road trip across France!"
"I, your fearless, historically clueless, yet alarmingly enthusiastic host, Conan O’Brien, will be leading this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with some of the most brilliant, beautiful, and completely unqualified travel companions ever assembled!"
"Over the next five days, we’re going to explore everything France has to offer—from the glorious heights of the Eiffel Tower to the scenic lavender fields of Provence, from the D-Day beaches of Normandy to the fast and furious streets of Monaco. Along the way, we’ll meet secretive historians, Michelin-starred chefs, and even a former Formula 1 driver—all of whom will probably regret signing up for this immediately!"
"But this isn’t just any boring history lesson—oh no. This is a trip filled with laughter, questionable fashion choices, adrenaline-pumping adventures, and of course, lots and lots of food. And to make sure it’s an unforgettable experience, I’ve invited some absolute legends to join me."
"Picture this: We’ve got the wittiest minds, the boldest adventurers, and—because I like a little chaos—some of Hollywood’s most ridiculous personalities. We’ll have Stephen Fry dropping historical bombs, Ryan Reynolds talking his way out of trouble, Snoop Dogg vibing in Monaco, Margot Robbie walking the Cannes red carpet like she owns the place, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson attempting to fit into a tiny French sports car!"
"And, most importantly, we have you, dear viewer, joining us every step of the way. So buckle up, grab a glass of expensive French wine, and prepare for a journey through France like you’ve never seen before!"
"Welcome to The Ultimate French Adventure with Conan & Friends! Let’s do this!"
(Note: This is an imaginary conversation, a creative exploration of an idea, and not a real speech or event.)
Day 1: Paris – The City of Light
Location 1: Eiffel Tower (Morning)
The sun is just rising over the Paris skyline, casting a golden glow over the Seine River. The air smells faintly of fresh croissants and strong coffee from the nearby cafés. The Eiffel Tower stands tall in the distance, its metal frame catching the early morning light in a shimmering display.
Conan O’Brien: (poking fun) "Alright, gang, time to climb this rust-colored spaghetti tower. I hear it’s not actually made of iron, but of French sarcasm!"
Stephen Fry: (grinning) "Conan, it's not sarcasm, it’s iron. The tower was originally hated by the Parisians. Imagine, an enormous metal skeleton in the middle of their elegant city!"
Ryan Reynolds: "Wait, so people hated this? It's like if a giant selfie stick was planted in Times Square. How do you go from disgust to icon?"
Emily Blunt: "It’s fascinating, isn't it? It’s all about transformation, from mockery to the heart of Parisian identity. Plus, look at that view—Paris really is the city of light. It’s like the whole place is sparkling in a golden shower of morning glow."
Sensory Moment: The wind picks up slightly as they reach the observation deck. Cold metal beneath their feet, and the distant sound of car horns and birds. The air is crisp and fresh, mingling with the faint fragrance of freshly baked bread from below.
Secret Tour Guide: "Did you know? Gustave Eiffel himself used to come up here on windy days to test his theory about wind resistance. Apparently, he could feel the wind’s power more acutely than anyone else!"
Conan O’Brien: (mock gasp) "So, a wind whisperer too? This place just keeps getting more magical. Can we get a souvenir breeze?"
Location 2: Louvre Museum (Late Morning)
The Louvre is just as grand inside as outside. The vast halls echo with footsteps, and the marble floors shimmer in the soft light from the huge windows. The room hums with quiet murmurs, as people gather around the world’s most famous art.
Ryan Reynolds: "I don't know about you guys, but I feel like we’re underdressed in a museum of genius. Should’ve gone full Renaissance chic."
Emily Blunt: "Right? But look at this—every inch of this place is extra. It’s almost like a living artwork. You could just stare at a piece for hours."
Stephen Fry: (pointing at the Mona Lisa) "And here she is, the star of the show. Her smile—mysterious, elusive. You’d think a painting of a woman’s smile wouldn’t generate so much debate."
Sensory Moment: The soft glow of lights highlighting the oil paintings creates a soothing atmosphere. You can hear the soft clicks of cameras and a slight rustle of pages as visitors flip through brochures. The faint, musky scent of old paper and varnish lingers in the air.
Secret Tour Guide: "Fun fact—if you look closely at the Mona Lisa’s hands, you’ll notice her left hand is subtly blurring. Some believe it’s a hint from Leonardo that she’s not actually a portrait, but a symbol of the elusive human nature."
Conan O’Brien: (mocking seriousness) "Ah, so it’s not a woman. It’s a mystery. Well, I can see why she’s so famous—honestly, I’d just be thrilled if she smiled at me for once."
Location 3: Notre-Dame Cathedral (Afternoon)
Now they stand at the foot of Notre-Dame, its Gothic spires towering over the cobblestone streets of the Ile-de-la-Cité. The scent of fresh rain mingles with the earthy smell of old stone. The cathedral’s intricate carved doors are worn with centuries of history.
Ryan Reynolds: "It’s like a medieval fortress… with better architecture than most modern buildings. This is the stuff of fantasy movies."
Emily Blunt: (in awe) "Look at that detailing! The sculptures. The light peeking through the stained glass is mesmerizing."
Stephen Fry: "Indeed. Every inch of this place is a symbol, a story. Even the gargoyles are more than just creepy figures—they were once believed to protect the cathedral from evil spirits."
Sensory Moment: The cathedral is filled with echoing footsteps and the occasional soft murmur of prayers. The air is filled with the musty scent of ancient wood and stone, while a faint breeze stirs the leaves outside, bringing a coolness that contrasts with the warmth inside the church.
Secret Tour Guide: "And here's a quirky tidbit—Did you know that Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Victor Hugo’s famous novel, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, was based on a real man who spent much of his time in these very bell towers?"
Conan O’Brien: (laughing) "Well, that’s one way to get a head in life. I might start hanging out in bell towers myself if it leads to a novel. Maybe Conan of Notre-Dame?"
Location 4: Seine River Cruise (Evening)
As dusk falls over the city, they board a Seine River cruise. The lights of Paris shimmer off the water, creating a glittering reflection on the surface. The cool evening air carries the scent of fresh pastries and distant flowers from the banks.
Emily Blunt: "This is romantic, but honestly, it’s magic. I feel like we’ve stepped into a postcard."
Ryan Reynolds: (mocking a deep romantic tone) "Yes, the City of Lights—where the lights are as bright as the cheese. This is like the Parisian equivalent of falling in love in a movie."
Conan O’Brien: "What’s next, a montage of us laughing and holding hands while eating baguettes? It’s a rom-com waiting to happen."
Sensory Moment: The gently rippling water below makes soft splashes as the boat glides by. The scent of fresh leather from the boat’s seats mixes with the crisp air. City sounds are distant, replaced by the lapping of water against the boat’s side, and soft music plays from a nearby café along the bank.
Secret Tour Guide: "Did you know that some of the bridges over the Seine were once marketplaces? In the 18th century, Pont Neuf had shops, vendors, and was one of the busiest places in Paris. It's like the old Paris was built on water."
Conan O’Brien: "Alright, now you’ve got me re-imagining Paris as Venice. Maybe we could add gondolas? Or should we stick to the Seine?"
End of Day 1:
The evening wraps up with laughter and stories, as the group takes in the beauty of Paris by night. From Conan’s comedic antics to Stephen’s fascinating insights, Emily’s charm, and Ryan’s quick wit, the group brings Paris alive in the most entertaining way possible.
Day 2: Versailles & Loire Valley – A Royal Adventure
On this regal and romantic day, Conan O’Brien, Hugh Jackman, Kristen Bell, and Jack Black embark on a journey through the splendor of French châteaux. Along with their secret noble tour guide, they’ll unravel hidden scandals, extravagant parties, and bizarre royal customs.
Location 1: Palace of Versailles (Morning)
The group arrives at Versailles, the sun-kissed gold of the gates gleaming against the blue sky. The sheer opulence of the Hall of Mirrors, marble columns, and gilded chandeliers leaves them momentarily speechless.
Hugh Jackman: (grinning) "I think I should have dressed as a musketeer today. Versailles just screams swashbuckling adventure."
Kristen Bell: (twirling around) "I feel like a princess already. I need a corset and a dramatic staircase entrance."
Jack Black: (mock serious) "I refuse to enter unless we are formally announced. ‘His Royal Highness, Lord Black of Rock and Roll, hath arrived!’"
Secret Tour Guide (a descendant of French nobility): "Ah, but did you know? The King’s morning routine was a theatrical event. Nobles would gather just to watch Louis XIV wake up, dress, and eat breakfast. Being invited to see the King put on his socks was considered the greatest honor!"
Conan O’Brien: (mock horror) "So they just… stood there? Watching a man get dressed? This is the most awkward royal reality show ever."
Sensory Moment: The scent of old polished wood and faint perfume lingers in the air. The smooth marble floor feels cool underfoot, and the sound of footsteps echoing in the vast halls creates an almost otherworldly atmosphere.
Location 2: Gardens of Versailles (Midday Picnic)
Outside, the Grand Gardens stretch endlessly, trimmed into perfect geometric patterns. Fountains dance under the sunlight, while the smell of freshly cut grass and blooming roses fills the air.
Hugh Jackman: "Alright, who’s up for dueling with baguettes? I challenge Conan to a battle!"
Kristen Bell: (laughing) "Only if Jack Black plays the background music. Some epic battle chant!"
Jack Black: (dramatically singing) "Laaa! The battle of the baguettes begins!"
Secret Tour Guide: "The fountains here are part of a hidden hydraulic system so advanced, it was centuries ahead of its time. It even influenced later designs of city plumbing."
Conan O’Brien: "So Versailles invented good plumbing, and yet France still insists on bidets? What a plot twist!"
Location 3: Château de Chambord (Afternoon – Loire Valley)
A three-hour scenic drive brings them to the Loire Valley, known for rolling green landscapes, vineyards, and castles that look straight out of fairy tales.
Château de Chambord rises in the distance, a labyrinth of towers, spiral staircases, and hidden corridors. Leonardo da Vinci had a hand in its ingenious double-helix staircase, designed so that two people could ascend and descend without ever crossing paths.
Kristen Bell: "Wait. So Leonardo da Vinci designed this staircase? I thought he was busy painting Mona Lisa’s cryptic smile."
Hugh Jackman: "The man was basically the original Tony Stark—inventor, artist, architect. I bet if he were alive today, he’d be designing a luxury spaceship."
Jack Black: (testing the staircase) "I’m going up. Conan, go down. Let’s see if we actually don’t meet!"
(Conan and Jack Black start walking—both wave dramatically from across the staircase, but never meet.)
Conan O’Brien: "This is actually freaking me out. Are we in a wizard's castle?"
Sensory Moment: Inside, the cool stone walls give off an earthy scent, mixed with the faint hint of candle wax from centuries past. Outside, a gentle breeze rustles the leaves, carrying the aroma of nearby vineyards.
Secret Tour Guide: "Rumor has it, secret passages in this castle were used to hide royal lovers. Chambord was known for its wild parties, sometimes lasting for weeks!"
Kristen Bell: (gasping) "So… Chambord was basically the Coachella of the Renaissance?"
Location 4: Château de Chenonceau (Sunset – The Castle of Love)
As the sun begins to set, they arrive at Château de Chenonceau, an elegant castle built over the Cher River, often called the Castle of Love because of its history with powerful women.
The reflection of the castle in the calm river makes the entire scene look like a dreamscape—pink and orange hues blending into the water as the last light of day flickers over the elegant stonework.
Hugh Jackman: "This is unreal. It’s like a painting that decided to be a castle."
Jack Black: (romantic voice) "If I don’t serenade someone on this bridge, I have failed as a human being." (pulls out a fake microphone and sings a dramatic ballad to the castle itself.)
Secret Tour Guide: "This castle was home to Catherine de' Medici and Diane de Poitiers, two of the most powerful women in French history. Diane, the King’s mistress, designed the stunning gardens, but after the King’s death, Catherine kicked her out and redesigned parts of the castle in revenge."
Kristen Bell: "Oof. That’s some serious ‘I’m taking my boyfriend’s sweatshirt back’ energy."
Conan O’Brien: "Oh, I get it. This is basically the original Real Housewives feud—except with actual castles."
End of Day 2: Dinner at a Loire Valley Vineyard
The day ends with a relaxing dinner in a vineyard, the smell of aged wine and fresh grapes in the air. A wooden table lit by lanterns is set with cheese platters, fresh baguettes, and duck confit.
Sensory Moment: The taste of full-bodied red wine lingers on the tongue, the sweet scent of lavender and grapevines floating in the air. The soft buzz of crickets under the clear starlit sky makes everything feel timeless.
Conan O’Brien: (raising a glass) "Alright, team. We learned about royal sock-watching, secret staircases, and ex-mistresses taking architectural revenge. I say we toast to history being way weirder than I thought!"
Kristen Bell: "To castles, and to drama!"
Jack Black: "And to me, the undisputed King of Baguette Duels!"
Hugh Jackman: (laughing) "I’ll let you keep that title. For now."
Day 3: Normandy – History, Heroism, and Coastal Beauty
Today, Conan O’Brien, Tom Hanks, Tina Fey, and Robin Williams (if he were here) embark on a powerful journey through history. The day is filled with deep reflection, humor to lighten the mood, and breathtaking scenery as they explore D-Day beaches, medieval towns, and the mystical Mont Saint-Michel. Accompanied by their secret tour guide—a retired WWII historian with rare letters from D-Day soldiers—they uncover stories that bring history to life.
Location 1: Omaha Beach & Normandy American Cemetery (Morning – A Moment of Reflection)
The group stands on Omaha Beach, the vast stretch of golden sand meeting the cool Atlantic waves. The air is fresh and salty, but there’s a weight in the atmosphere—the ghosts of history linger here.
Tom Hanks: (quietly looking out at the water) "Every time I stand on this beach, I try to imagine what it was like… The fear, the chaos, the bravery."
Conan O’Brien: (serious for once) "It’s surreal. You hear about it, read about it, watch movies about it, but standing here… it’s something else entirely."
Secret Tour Guide: (holding a fragile letter, voice soft) "This is from a young soldier, written the night before D-Day. He told his mother, ‘If I don’t come home, know that I was with the best of men, doing what had to be done.’ He never made it off this beach."
A long pause follows. The wind carries the distant cry of seagulls. The group walks up to the Normandy American Cemetery, where rows upon rows of white crosses stand in perfect formation, stretching endlessly toward the horizon.
Robin Williams: (whispering) "So much sacrifice… and all so young."
Tina Fey: (holding back emotion, finally speaking up) "You know, as a comedian, you feel like you should always have something to say. But sometimes, the best thing to do is just… listen."
Sensory Moment: The soft crunch of gravel underfoot. The faint rustling of flags in the breeze. The sound of waves in the distance, rhythmic and eternal.
Conan O’Brien: (finally breaking the silence, voice softer than usual) "They say history repeats itself, but standing here, you really hope… some things never do."
Location 2: Honfleur (Late Morning – A Charming Port Town)
Needing a lighter mood, the group heads to Honfleur, a storybook harbor town with cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, and colorful boats reflecting in the calm waters. The smell of fresh seafood and warm crepes fills the air.
Robin Williams: (perking up) "Ahhh, the air smells like adventure and butter! What’s our plan—sword fight with baguettes or eat our weight in pastries?"
Tina Fey: "Both. Always both."
Conan O’Brien: (pointing at an old painter by the water) "See that guy? He’s been painting that same dock for probably 50 years… I bet by now, even the boats are like, 'Dude, move on!'"
Tom Hanks: (smiling) "Well, if Monet could paint haystacks over and over, I suppose a dock isn’t that weird."
Secret Tour Guide: "Honfleur is where the Impressionist movement was born. Artists like Monet and Boudin captured its ever-changing light. If you stare long enough, you’ll notice the colors seem to shift before your eyes."
Sensory Moment: The gentle lapping of water against wooden docks. The salty sea breeze mixing with the sweet aroma of Nutella crepes. The soft clink of wine glasses from a nearby café terrace.
Robin Williams: (grabbing a beret and a paintbrush dramatically) "Today, I become… Monsieur Robin! The world’s greatest fake artist!"
Conan O’Brien: (mock serious) "Ah yes, the Picasso of nonsense."
Location 3: Mont Saint-Michel (Afternoon – A Fairytale Island)
The group approaches Mont Saint-Michel, the floating island abbey rising like a mirage from the sea. The ancient stone walls, narrow winding alleys, and the majestic spires make it look like something out of Game of Thrones. The tide is low, revealing the expansive sands that surround the mystical island.
Tina Fey: (gasping) "Okay, this is literally a Disney castle! How is this place even real?"
Robin Williams: (bowing dramatically) "Welcome, weary travelers, to my kingdom! Beware of ghost monks and overpriced souvenirs!"
Secret Tour Guide: "Mont Saint-Michel was built 1,000 years ago and has survived wars, sieges, and even the French Revolution. It’s an architectural miracle. At high tide, the sea completely surrounds it, making it an island again."
Tom Hanks: (touching the ancient stone walls) "Just imagine the sheer determination it took to build this—without modern tools. It’s like carving a dream into reality."
Sensory Moment: The sharp, briny scent of the sea. The distant cries of seagulls echoing through the stone passageways. The cool, damp touch of the old stone walls.
As they climb the steep, spiral staircases, Conan dramatically gasps for air.
Conan O’Brien: "How did medieval monks do this every day?! I’m sweating in places I didn’t know could sweat!"
Robin Williams: (in monk’s voice) "Discipline, Conan! We must repent for our sins of sarcasm!"
Location 4: Sunset at Étretat (Evening – A Majestic Farewell)
The journey ends at Étretat, where the famous white cliffs stand tall against the crashing waves. The setting sun paints the sky in shades of fiery orange and soft lavender, while the arches and rock formations look like sculptures carved by nature itself.
Tom Hanks: (sitting on the edge of the cliff, staring at the horizon) "This is the kind of place where you just… breathe it in. No need for words."
Tina Fey: (leaning back, sighing happily) "It’s like the world saved the best view for last."
Sensory Moment: The roar of the waves below. The salty mist in the air. The cool sea breeze, tangling hair and whistling through the cliffs.
Conan O’Brien: (lifting a glass of wine) "Alright, team. Today, we honored heroes, ate too many crepes, and walked through a medieval dream. I say, to Normandy, and to never taking history for granted."
Robin Williams: (softly, raising his glass) "To those who came before us… and to those who keep telling their stories."
Day 4: Provence & The French Riviera – Beauty, Adventure, and Pure Relaxation
Today, Conan O’Brien, Matthew McConaughey, Gal Gadot, and Gordon Ramsay embark on a sun-soaked journey through Provence’s rolling lavender fields, ancient Roman ruins, and the glamorous French Riviera. Accompanied by their secret tour guide—a former master perfumer from Grasse with secrets about royal fragrances—this day is a perfect blend of history, nature, and indulgence.
Location 1: Sunrise Over Lavender Fields in Gordes (Morning – A Dreamscape of Purple)
The journey begins in Gordes, a stunning hilltop village surrounded by endless lavender fields, where the sun’s first golden light spills over the purple waves of flowers. The fragrance of fresh lavender fills the air, mixing with the morning dew and earth’s warmth.
Matthew McConaughey: (taking a deep breath, eyes closed) "Mmm. Now this is a morning. Smells like peace, love, and a hint of existential clarity."
Gal Gadot: (twirling playfully in the field) "This is like walking through a painting. I half expect a Monet canvas to appear!"
Conan O’Brien: (waving dramatically) "Ah yes, Provence! Where the air smells like an overpriced spa, and the fields make me want to frolic—which, by the way, is very difficult with my height!"
Gordon Ramsay: (sniffing the air, unimpressed) "Great. It’s beautiful. But can we talk about the lavender honey? I came for food, not just aromatherapy!"
Secret Tour Guide: (holding up a tiny vial of perfume) "Did you know that King Louis XV’s court was known as 'La Cour Parfumée'—the Perfumed Court? Royals bathed in lavender-infused waters and carried scented gloves everywhere!"
Sensory Moment: The soft rustling of lavender stems as a gentle breeze moves through the fields. The earthy scent of soil beneath the floral notes. The crisp, cool air of morning, paired with the warmth of the rising sun.
Location 2: Pont du Gard (Mid-Morning – A Roman Marvel in the French Countryside)
They drive to the Pont du Gard, a colossal Roman aqueduct stretching across the Gardon River, surrounded by olive trees and rugged limestone cliffs. The ancient stones radiate centuries of history, their rough surfaces warmed by the Provençal sun.
Matthew McConaughey: (touching the stone, nodding wisely) "Now this… this is a monument to perseverance. Built over 2,000 years ago, still standing strong. That’s resilience, baby."
Conan O’Brien: (examining the structure, shaking his head) "So Romans built this without cranes, and I can barely assemble IKEA furniture?"
Gal Gadot: (laughing) "Maybe if we all worked together, we could build one of these… right?"
Gordon Ramsay: (grumbling) "Just don’t let Conan anywhere near the blueprints."
Secret Tour Guide: "The aqueduct supplied water to Nîmes, allowing the city to flourish. And Romans didn’t use cement—the stones fit together perfectly, like a puzzle!"
Sensory Moment: The distant chirping of cicadas. The dry heat of the sun, radiating from the warm stone beneath their hands. The scent of wild herbs and pine trees drifting through the valley.
Location 3: Palais des Papes, Avignon (Lunch – Medieval Majesty & A Feast Fit for a Pope)
The group arrives in Avignon, home to the Palace of the Popes—a medieval fortress where popes ruled in opulence during the 14th century. Inside, vast stone halls echo with history, and towering gothic arches frame golden frescoes.
Gordon Ramsay: (looking around, skeptical) "The popes lived here? Looks like a medieval version of Gordon’s Kitchen Nightmares—except instead of fixing restaurants, they were running a whole empire."
Conan O’Brien: "I mean, if you’re going to be a pope, might as well go full-on castle mode."
Gal Gadot: "I wonder what their meals were like back then?"
Secret Tour Guide: "Ah, the popes were gourmets! Their feasts included roast swans, spiced wine, and fig-stuffed pastries. They also helped refine French cuisine by hiring the best chefs."
Gordon Ramsay: (excited now) "Alright, finally—a proper discussion! Let’s go find a restaurant that still serves medieval-style food!"
Sensory Moment: The faint musty scent of ancient stone, blending with the smell of woodsmoke from a nearby restaurant. The clinking of glasses and laughter from street cafés, mixed with the melody of a street violinist.
Location 4: Nice & The French Riviera (Evening – Luxury & Beachside Bliss)
As the sun begins to set, they arrive in Nice, where the Mediterranean stretches endlessly in shades of deep blue. The Promenade des Anglais is alive with artists, street performers, and the scent of fresh seafood wafting from seaside restaurants.
Matthew McConaughey: (leaning back, sipping a glass of rosé) "Man… This is the good life."
Gal Gadot: (gazing at the sunset) "This reminds me of home. The way the sun melts into the sea… it’s perfect."
Conan O’Brien: (mocking) "Oh yes, so perfect. Except I forgot my swimsuit and now I’m stuck on this beach looking like a lost pale Irishman!"
Gordon Ramsay: (rolling his eyes) "Conan, you could be wearing a custom suit from Milan, and you’d still look awkward on a beach."
Secret Tour Guide: "The French Riviera has long been the playground of royalty, writers, and movie stars. Hemingway, Picasso, and even The Rolling Stones spent their summers here."
Sensory Moment: The gentle lapping of waves. The salty breeze carrying the scent of freshly grilled seafood and lemon trees. The distant hum of laughter and music from a beachside café.
End of Day 4: A Sunset Toast to Provence & The Riviera
As the sun dips below the horizon, the group clinks glasses over a dinner of bouillabaisse (Provençal seafood stew), fresh oysters, and lavender-infused desserts.
Conan O’Brien: (raising his glass) "Today, we smelled a thousand lavender fields, climbed ancient Roman ruins, and now, we dine like popes by the Mediterranean. Not bad for a Tuesday!"
Matthew McConaughey: (smiling, raising his glass) "Alright, alright, alright. To good friends and unbelievable views."
Gal Gadot: "To history, adventure, and taking time to enjoy the moment."
Gordon Ramsay: (cheeky grin) "And to actual good food for once!"
Day 5: The French Riviera & Monaco – Glamour, Speed, and High Stakes
On the final day, Conan O’Brien, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Margot Robbie, and Snoop Dogg take on the French Riviera’s playground of the rich and famous. From the cliffside roads of Monaco to the glitz of Cannes and the sun-soaked beaches of Saint-Tropez, this is a day of luxury, speed, and indulgence.
Their secret tour guide—a former Formula 1 driver with insider access—ensures they get VIP treatment, and maybe even a high-speed thrill ride on Monaco’s streets.
Location 1: Eze Village (Morning – A Medieval Hideaway Above the Sea)
High above the azure waters of the Mediterranean, the group explores Eze, a medieval village perched on a cliffside. Narrow stone alleyways, ivy-covered walls, and hidden gardens make it feel like stepping into a fairy tale.
The air is scented with citrus and sea breeze, and the distant cry of seagulls adds to the charm.
Snoop Dogg: (taking a deep breath) "Mmm. Man, this place is so chill. I need to buy a villa here… call it Casa de Snoop."
Margot Robbie: (smiling) "It’s like a dream! The colors, the views, the little art shops—it’s all so romantic."
Dwayne Johnson: (laughing) "Alright, I’ll admit it. I thought today was just gonna be yachts and casinos, but this is actually pretty cool."
Conan O’Brien: (mocking) "The Rock… appreciating scenic beauty? I was not prepared for this moment."
Secret Tour Guide: "The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche used to hike this mountain path daily, saying it helped him think deeply. He wrote parts of Thus Spoke Zarathustra right here in Eze."
Snoop Dogg: (grinning) "See, my guy knew where to vibe."
Sensory Moment: The sound of church bells ringing faintly in the distance. The rough texture of ancient stone walls, warm under the morning sun. The citrusy scent of blooming lemon trees in the breeze.
Location 2: Monaco & Monte Carlo (Midday – Fast Cars & High Stakes)
The group arrives in Monaco, where supercars roar down sunlit streets, and yachts the size of mansions float in the harbor. The air hums with money, and the scent of expensive cologne, espresso, and the sea fills the air.
They stop at the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, where their secret tour guide—a retired Formula 1 driver—hands them racing helmets.
Dwayne Johnson: (grinning) "You’re telling me we get to drive a Formula 1 car on the actual Monaco track?"
Conan O’Brien: (panicking) "Uh, define ‘drive’… I struggle with bumper cars."
Margot Robbie: (already putting on gloves) "I was born ready for this."
As they take turns in the driver’s seat, the roar of engines echoes off the streets, and the rush of adrenaline is unlike anything else.
Snoop Dogg: (watching from the sidelines, shaking his head) "Man, I’ll just stick to cruising in my Cadillac. Y’all be wildin’."
Secret Tour Guide: "The Monaco Grand Prix is one of the most dangerous tracks—tight corners, fast straights, and no room for error. Only the best drivers master it."
Sensory Moment: The smell of burning rubber and high-performance fuel. The thrill of speed, the sharp turns, and the sound of tires screeching against the pavement.
Location 3: Cannes & La Croisette (Afternoon – Hollywood in France)
They arrive in Cannes, strolling along La Croisette, where luxury boutiques, five-star hotels, and palm trees line the boulevard. The red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival is still laid out from a recent event.
Margot Robbie: (smiling, striking a playful pose) "I mean… should I just casually walk this red carpet? Or is that too much?"
Conan O’Brien: (mocking her) "Yes, Margot. The Oscar-nominated actress is struggling for attention right now."
Snoop Dogg: (taking out sunglasses, nodding coolly) "Cannes is where legends roll up. This place got swag."
Secret Tour Guide: "Did you know? In the early years of the Cannes Film Festival, filmmakers brought their own chairs because there weren’t enough seats in the theater."
Dwayne Johnson: (laughing) "That’s some hustle. Show up with a folding chair like, ‘I WILL watch this movie!’"
Sensory Moment: The crash of waves against the shore. The clicking of designer heels on marble floors. The faint notes of French jazz from a nearby café.
Location 4: Saint-Tropez (Sunset – A Beachside Farewell to France)
The final stop: Saint-Tropez, where golden beaches, turquoise water, and stylish beachfront cafés set the perfect backdrop for relaxing in style.
The group lounges on plush sunbeds, sipping chilled rosé as the sun melts into the sea, turning the sky into a canvas of fiery orange and pink.
Dwayne Johnson: (sighing, arms behind his head) "This is it, guys. This is the definition of living your best life."
Margot Robbie: (smiling, stretching her legs in the sand) "I could stay here forever."
Snoop Dogg: (raising his glass of rosé) "To good vibes, good friends, and good times."
Conan O’Brien: (grinning) "And to not dying in an F1 car today!"
Secret Tour Guide: "Saint-Tropez used to be a quiet fishing village—until the 1950s, when Brigitte Bardot filmed And God Created Woman here. Overnight, it became the ultimate celebrity getaway."
Sensory Moment: The warm grainy sand between their toes. The salty sea air, tinged with hints of coconut sunscreen. The soft strumming of a guitar from a nearby beach bar.
End of the Journey: A Final Toast Under the Stars
As the group sits by the glowing embers of a beach bonfire, they reflect on the journey.
Conan O’Brien: (raising his glass) "We laughed. We ate. We drove dangerously fast. And we somehow survived it all. I say we toast to the greatest French adventure ever!"
Dwayne Johnson: (grinning) "To adventure, baby!"
Margot Robbie: "To laughter and luxury!"
Snoop Dogg: "And to doin’ it all again someday."
As the last waves crash softly against the shore, the stars twinkle above, and the fire casts a warm glow, they soak in the final moments of an epic trip through France.
Final Reflection: Conan’s Farewell to the Ultimate French Adventure
Conan O’Brien:
(sighing dramatically, placing a hand over his heart)
"Well, my friends… we did it. We came, we saw, we ate way too much cheese."
"We traveled across this beautiful, weird, historic, and slightly intimidating country, learning things we probably won’t remember but will pretend we do at parties. We stood atop the Eiffel Tower, only to realize it’s terrifyingly high. We wandered through Versailles, only to find out that Louis XIV’s biggest flex was letting people watch him wake up. We honored the heroes of Normandy, raced through Monaco, and ate our weight in pastries everywhere in between."
"Along the way, I got to experience it all with some of the most brilliant, hilarious, and absolutely unpredictable travel companions. Stephen Fry taught us more history than we ever wanted to know, Ryan Reynolds and I almost got arrested for impersonating tour guides, The Rock proved that no car in France is big enough for him, and Snoop Dogg—well, let’s just say Monaco is a lot more relaxed now."
"But beyond the comedy, beyond the near-death experiences in Formula 1 cars, beyond the truly concerning amount of butter in French cuisine, this trip has been something incredible. France isn’t just about landmarks and fancy castles—it’s about stories. Stories of art, revolution, love, courage, and a whole lot of questionable fashion choices from the 18th century."

*"So here’s to adventure. To laughter. To getting lost and pretending we meant to. To **France—*you beautiful, delicious, mysterious land of baguettes and unapologetic extravagance."
"And finally… here’s to us—because no one else could have survived this trip the way we did. Santé!"
(The group cheers, raising their glasses as the camera zooms out, showing the glowing coastline of Saint-Tropez, the firelight flickering against the sand, and the stars twinkling above their unforgettable journey.)
