What a beautiful shop with unique and high-end pieces! Curious to know the price range on some of the fabulous furniture.

Bonjour from Virginia! Inquiring minds are wondering... is the TGV air-conditioned?

Nice videos. We are Americans who own a little stone cottage / townhouse between you and Poitiers. We took the plunge and retired here 2 years ago. Best of luck to you!

Glad you’ve enjoyed your summer with us in France as much as we’ve enjoyed your videos.

Interested in anything about taking Bernice places. We were in France with our papillon in May&June. Loved having him with us but some places we couldn't go. Any daycare places for dogs? Interested in moving there next year from US, possibly SW France.

Lots of questions about the lack of a/c in France and I’ll assume it’s true in most of the continent as well as around the world. Even in certain parts of America people don’t have a/c and have a very hard time during heatwaves. I live in the desert SW of America and have a/c but growing up we had what’s known as a “swamp cooler” which work horribly when it’s humid. I was a teenager before we even had a/c in our car. I believe some of the current climate crisis is cyclical but what isn’t can and should be addressed by nations in trying to reduce carbon emissions.

Love to watch your French life. If you hire a car for your stays what sort of price are they?

Is the backpack you use for Bernice the same one you use for the flight? We are moving to France soon with a 10lb poodle and it looks perfect and super convenient!! Thanks for sharing your adventures, they are truly inspirational and a joy to watch!

Hope this is not a silly question to ask. When going by train, how did you purchase the ticket. Is there a ticket machine or a ticket booth to buy from ? Wishing you safe trip back home.

The plate wall is lovely and a nice tribute to the house, positive energy. No AC, sucks,. I live in Florida, I can relate; we have 100 percent humidity for most of our long summers. Questions - what type of work do you do - that allows you to take so much time off and afford a home in France and that life style? Just curious. Thank you

You are delightful people, just hope the word spreads around and increases your viewership. What is the cultural shock if any, returning to America with a chaos king waiting in the wings? 💙🍀Au revoir!

Have a safe travel !

Have you considered buying a car in France in the future at all?

Was the train air conditioned?

Hi, have a nice trip back home.

Comment vous rendez vous à la gare de Poitiers ? Le climat tempéré de la France ne nécessite pas de climatisation et nous aimons sentir les saisons. J'espère que nous pourrons nous en passer encore longtemps

Les assiettes anciennes bleues doivent être de la vaisselle "terre de fer" de Digoin (Sarreguemines). Elles sont magnifiques. Il y a peut être également des assiettes "Moulin des Loups et Hamage" en terre de fer. Vous avez une belle collection.

I appreciate your videos. I am currently learning French and practicing Italian with an eye to an extended stay abroad, and perhaps moving abroad. Just don’t know where, yet. Do you ever rent out your stone farmhouse?

My sister's solution for escaping the heat when on holiday in various places in Europe is to hang out in branches of Aldi or Lidl which typically have air con 😄

I also collect four-leaf clovers. Listening from Central Kentucky, the Bluegrass.

They make a very nice display

Great video, really interesting, thanks - please could there be a version with quieter music, or no music at all 😬 thx again.

How did you search for and find your place?

J'espère que vous avez visité Collioure, Port Vendres, Banyuls, Port Leucate, Le Barcarès .... ! c'est trop joli.

Nice sharing ❤❤❤❤❤

Lovely beach and calm. Your overall impression of the town? I am hoping to visit for the first time in November.

i hope you are settling in and enjoying the area. My son lives in Limoges, lovely town to visit.

I hope the people in the hotel dining room and the restaurant were happy to be in this video. Perhaps they had no choice.

💙🤍❤️🍀you 2+ 🐕 looking great..very nice place südfrench...and vereyy good food... But its really not ok all time watching when you have🥐🥖🧁🍹🍦 🦞..🏖️ enjoy😂and bon Voyage💙🤍❤️🍀

It looked really nice. But please slow down your camera panning😊

Lovely get away. The Paella looked delicious. Beautiful beach and surrounding village.

Beautiful place, I'm envious 😊

Looks wonderful! Enjoy🎉

I just love the dog friendly culture there.

Your paella looked very good, but I think the young lady should have just left you to serve yourselves as I think a fair amount landed on the tablecloth 😄

00:08:45 - You were looking at a 12€ set of napkins on the table and missed that it was a marble-top/cast base table like April said she wanted, or did you find one already? (Personally, design-wise, I think an enamel-top table would work better in your stone house kitchen and the bistro table can go outside or in the new conservatory 😉) Apologies for all the questions (and thanks for answering them) but suppose you found a large, heavy table or the armoire you want (wanted, past tense?) for the kitchen. You clearly couldn't get it in your little rental car, so is delivery service common (for a fee, obviously, but is there a "standard"?) or would you need a friend/neighbor with a truck?

Seems to a very enjoyable vacation down to the mediterranean coast !

I usely understand your english quite well but use to put on Google subtitles. I can't stop laughing at it's translation of Argeles-sur-Mer : jealous sur mer !

Those butcher blocks were amazing, but I can't imagine using them for anything other than a butcher block at this point. Certainly not a writing desk or dining table - all the dishes would be in 1 person's lap!

I think you need a booth at next spring's vide-grenier to sell the cookie tin tops, seashells (0,5€/kg), and other attic "treasures". Maybe you'll pay for the kitchen table with your earnings. Or maybe you'll spend it all on camembert and brownies. :D

Orderly driving allows them to have 2 lane highways with minimal congestion, while I live near an interstate with no less than TEN lanes in each direction that becomes a parking lot due to "freedom loving" 'muricans driving wherever they want without regard to anyone else. And we can't honk or flash lights at someone else for fear of getting shot.

Bonne idée - The new land allows you to (eventually) build a south-facing glass conservatory which will extend enjoying the outdoors in the spring & fall without completely losing your back garden. Unfortunately, the rat will still be scooping up the bits of birdfeed which fall to the ground. C'est dommage et c'est la vie.

Bonjour. I'm still making my way through your older videos, but I'm curious as to your thoughts on this video (ruclips.net/video/-pkaWUVneXQ/видео.html) - particularly the comments about NOT buying a stone house in a remote village.

You should be wearing helmets for your safety.

How often does the grass need to be mowed? Also, I believe you should cull the first 2-3 years worth of fruit from your figs & trees. That will encourage them to put more energy into growth rather than fruit production. Later, you'll have more fruit from more robust trees.

I’m excited to see what you do to your house. It’s beautiful

Lovely home and do hope you keep the old character and not too many new additions. Best of luck and the woods are so exciting! Yes a bit slower with camera please so we can really see. Thanks for sharing 👋

Next question, if you don't mind, regarding your car: I assume that you're renting for the brief periods that you're there. Is there a better option than "retail" rental (i.e. Hertz, Sixt, etc.) ?

Hi Michael, I'm working my way through your old videos and have some practical questions about the electric service: 1) Are there initial/cancellation fees? Is there a monthly minimum charge? In short, for a 'lock & leave' like yours, would it be practical or economical to cancel the service at the end of the summer and start a new contract when you return in the spring? 2) Same questions for water & sewage services, assuming it's coming from the commune and not a personal well/septic. 3) Same questions for broadband internet service (assuming you have it) 4) Could any of these services be paid via Wise (aka TransferWise) instead of a French bank account? Merci

We live in Frankfurt, Germany and recently returned from Maine.. We were shocked by the extremely expensive American grocery prices. Many items were double or even triple what we usually pay in Frankfurt! No wander the Americans are on the verge of revolution.
