Sam, that was so beautiful.. it made me cry to see such love in your family. thank you for sharing the love. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family. 💗 🙏
I’m so happy you feel all the love. Sending lots of it your way this holiday season 💕💕💕 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year!
OMG quels jolis et attendrissants moments 🥰🤩. J'ai été émue jusqu'aux larmes par les réactions des membres de ta famille (priceless and moving reactions and emotions) Ce NOËL ne sera pas ’’comme d’hab’’ 🤣😉 J'ai aussi beaucoup aimé la tradition avec le portrait photo à accrocher le plus haut possible dans l'arbre de Noël. Cette année c'est toi SAM qui a gagné 😄👍. Ta maman a superbement décoré la maison 🤩👏 Joyeuses fêtes de Noël avec toute la famille 🎄🎁🍾🥳🎉
J’adore ce commentaire ! 😂😂😂 parfaite utilisation du mot “ comme d’hab.” Joyeux Noël 🎄
Most budget airlines do weigh or have sizer..plus weight has to be 5 to 7 kg total and no extra bag. Is this doable for longterm as dont want to ever checknin after terrible experience for 1st time.

Oh Sam, that was so touching! So much warmth. I love when you were in the kitchen and looked up to acknowledge us...like you were making sure we felt included during such a special moment. No amount of money can buy the love your family has for each other. I cried in harmony with the joy your family was experiencing in seeing you, and also for my wonderful memories of my family Christmas celebrations. Bravo ☃️

Such a beautifully crafted guide to Provence! The charm of these villages is truly captivating. It reminds me of a walking tour I recently shared on my channel: Travel Vlog French Village Dubai 🇦🇪 | Walking Tour Charm. While it’s not in France, this French-inspired village in Dubai offers a unique take on that enchanting ambiance. I’d love to hear what you think if you ever have a chance to check it out!
I love the cozy Christmas vibes this video gives 💖 Also, you two are so sweet together. I want more!
Thank you Hannah 🤍🤍🤍
Another Christmas in beautiful Aix! Love the Christmas Markets in Europe! 🎄 Glad you are feeling better Sam! ❤
Thank you Ingrid, I love them too! Happy Holidays🎄

Have you had houji cha latte before? It's so good!
No, I haven’t heard of it either but it looks delicious.
Beautiful meaningful song accompanying your beautiful vlog Sam ,❤ it!!Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and Paul ❤
Thank you Iris 💕 Merry Christmas🎄
Bonjour. Another beautiful video. Tres belle! We will be in Marseille, Toulon, and Perpignan from Dec 20-Jan 31. We plan to visit other parts of the coastal area. Aix-en-Provence looks amazing. Is renting a car required to see the area? Merci. Dean et Cindy
Thank you Dean & Cindy! So happy to hear you’ll be coming to this region soon. I would definitely recommend renting a car as it will be a lot easier to get around as buses and trains don’t run as often in this area. Plus you’ll have more time to hop around to nearby villages and explore.
@@SamFournier Bonjour, Sam. Merci!! Good advice. Dean et Cindy
Thank you mija for showing us parts of France . Love and miss you.😙😙
I hope you enjoyed it, it’s so magical with all the twinkling lights. Happy Holidays Tia, love you!
How wonderful! I was dreamy-eyed through the whole vlog. You brought me back to my favorite village in the world. I've never been there during Christmas, so this was a real treat. Merci bien and a joyful holiday to you & your family.
I’m happy that I can share this beautiful city with you! Happy Holidays to you🤍🎄
Hi Sam, Love your look and wish you both a very Merry Christmas , I was wondering whether a one week holiday after boxing day in south France at the mercy of the weather! is a good idea? thanks
Thank you! I would say that after the holidays a lot of the French villages are empty and there isn’t as much to see. Aix will still have lots going on though. Luckily we still get lots of sunshine in the Winter. My favorite time of year is May and September. Wishing you a Merry Christmas 🎄
🎄Merry, merry christmas to you. So beautiful. Keeping it small this year since I will be moving to the Nice area janvier 2025. So excited to explore the Christmas markets next year, ✨✨
Merry Christmas ❤️✨ Wishing you all the best on your move to Nice, how exciting! Nice has a huge Christmas market that I still need to visit 😍
🤍🎄🤗 How beautiful,dear Sam! Very cozy and cheerful. Make great memories you two. Fill yourself with extra festive mood,for the upcoming months. Maybe it won't be that bad. Come ooooooon 😁🥳❄️
Thank you for always being such a huge support, you’re the best. Wishing you a Merry Christmas🎄
@SamFournier Thanks a lot.Merry Christmas to you and Paul too.And your families! 😃
I cherish this yearly ritual of ours to go eat Chichis at the Christmas Market. Always nice and cozy 😊
@@paulfournierphoto so grateful baby, je t’aime! Love making these memories with you.
Thank you for sharing your corner of the world so beautifully. Enjoy your holiday season 🎄
@@NathouLeseine7 I’m so grateful I get to share Provence with you Nathou. Happy Holidays 💕✨
Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas.
@@cmamelgna5585 thank you! Merry Christmas💕✨
I was laughing so much when Paul messed up with the waffle 😅 it happens. Two chichis next time 👍🏼
@@maggiecasanova6367 haha, its usually the other way around. I made sure to share mine 😂
Such lovely videos you create. Thank you for sharing the magical cheer of Christmas! 🎄 can’t wait to visit one day with my kids and hubby. I know their faces would light up.
@@maggiecasanova6367 thanks Maggie! I can’t wait for you guys to make it this way one year. Will be so fun to show you around. Love you guys, happy holidays!
Merry Christmas Sami! It’s so pretty there!
@@HomeSweetHomeAlaska Merry Christmas Tessa! So glad you guys got your fireplace all set up in the cabin to keep you warm while you work. Love you!
We are three chichis into the season over here 😂
@@robert.mcnamara hahaha 🤣 gotta get them while they’re hot!
Stunning. Wish I was there✈️
@@angelacampbell5922 Aix really makes it look magical. Maybe one Christmas you’ll be able to see it in person 😍 Happy holidays
@ next year. I’m over in March 25🥂
Oh no, no sound on min 2
Eeek. I know 😢 I think my mic wasn’t plugged in all the way. I hope it wasn’t too bad for you.
Love this for you. May this new intention bring about more assuredness in yourself and direction. Would love to hear an update on how it's going in a few months time!
Thank you so much. 💕
My partner and I are planning on moving there around six months! We just turned 30.. no kids I’m wondering if it’s easy to make friends? This is the part we’re actually most nervous about. We also don’t speak French… Beginner but not enough to make friends LOL. Any advice or insights would be so much appreciated.
I think it depends on each person. There are local meet ups where expats and immigrants get together for apéro. I would join the fb group English speakers in Aix en Provence as well as moving to Aix en Provence. So many good resources as well as people planning outings. Wishing you and your partner all the best on this new chapter!
So , recap: You like pasta( pici all'aglione), you like bruschetta (brusketta) with tomatoes, maybe not the stain on your gown, you love Siena, so.....when are you going to buy a house here? I have one for you 😉
Haha. I would love to live there😍
