    🇨🇦There’s just something about that moment when your offspring, no matter what their age, says, “I’m getting hungry”, that makes parents want to get to the kitchen as soon as they can, or jump in the car to head to a restaurant.
    From my perspective as the parent of a 34 year old daughter, it’s still a great pleasure to enjoy a meal and share our lives while we eat.
    I expect that living in France gives you all exceptional opportunities to eat some of the best food in the world.

      My father in-law served with the Army in France during World War III. He love the French people. My husband born in France at that time since his wife moved with him at a little military town called Bussac, I believe that may be the correct spelling. I like to see that little town through your tours in France. Thank you Sean and family.

    Hi from me, a Scottish lady 56 yrs old, moved to South of Spain, Benalmádena, when I was 17; 39 yrs ago, so yeah, I know what you mean about the immigration matter.
    I agree, people are people, how they were born, some will accept you without a second thought, others in time, and others just don't.
    I love your projects and videos, it's given a whole new light to France, imo.

    For those wondering about the woodworm. French buildings used earth as an insulator, and sound reducer, that was one method of how woodworm came in during construction. Others came in from contaminated products. Water intrusion around doors and windows causes a bigger wood rot problem to floors and joists then just worm damage.

      @@juliad368 Oh, that's interesting. They probably were relatives. . I am in the N.E. USA. because (Francois Belanger) left Normandy in 1635 on Capt. Giffords ship.. , They came to Canada, landed at the mouth of St. Lawrence River in "The New France", (Quebec). But All of his (Francois) family was still in Normandy area. His father was also named Francois, born late 1500's. That's as far back as I have been able to go. Interesting history... I think that is why I am SO drawn to that area.

    In 2000 My husband, myself and 3 young kids stayed in verdelot, Ile-de-france.
    We had a tour of a small vineyard. The owner, an elderly farmer type was quite standoffish with us at first, only speaking when he had to.
    My son who was 7 at the time mentioned that we were Scottish. I was shocked at the change in the man. He got very chatty and friendly, even giving us a free champagne tasting.
    When asked he said he thought we were English and wasn’t keen on them as they can be rude and arrogant !?!?
    As we were leaving I told him that it was only me and the kids that were Scottish, my husband is actually English. His face was a picture lol.
    I was really shocked, dismayed and in disbelief at his total u turn in demeanour and obvious discrimination towards the English.
    I’m so glad that you guys haven’t come across discrimination which gives me hope that there are very few incidents and our experience was an exception rather than the norm.
    Love to all 🤗

      Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with you, I'm not sure why but it is kinda true. It heavily depends on the region I think but in rural areas there is definitely a general cold/impatient attitude towards english people specifically. Maybe I picked up on it more than my parents!

      Just FYI I'm half French and half British and I get a lot of crap for being French when in the UK whereas I have never had anything but curious and interested comments from the French about my British half. I find many Brits to be shockingly and openly xenophobic when it comes to the French.
