This series has been so much fun and like a little mini vacation every Saturday as you transported us (those in the US) across the Atlantic! It must have been a hard adjustment returning home...
Thanks for this video giving tips and explaining how to make a person’s stay in France (or any country other than one’s own) less frustrating and more enjoyable. And for the reminder that being polite and giving respect will generally bring the same your way.
For us in Canada and London England too. So lovely.
I really enjoyed your series and I will probably never get to travel to France and watching this was so informative and relaxing. I wish all travel vlogs were done this way instead of just pretty pictures of food and scenery.
True! Beth is just like a friend you like to watch and listen :)
Loved, loved, loved this series. Can’t wait till you are back in France again. Looking forward to some lovely recipe vlogs too though!
Oh yes! Lots of yummy fall recipes on their way! Next week I have a yummy 1-pot chicken and rice dish coming up :) Stay tuned!
@@EntertainingWithBeth Sounds delish!!!
Aldi has the cart coins in L.A California
We also have to Separate our Recycling
I enjoyed this series. It was so relaxing to watch
I absolutely loved everything about this series! I am going to miss it for sure!
You nailed it! As a French, I truly appreciate that you're giving your followers the tips and explaining why we sometimes do things differently than what Americans do.
I'm sad to see this series end! It was the most enjoyable set of videos and it was a true pleasure to see your home, see St. Giles, and everything you shared with us. Thank you!
Oh Beth, this series has been an absolute dream! You are such an inspiration. I have enjoyed your menu and cooking videos for so many years, but this French house/travel series has made me love you all the more! And your travel tips in this video are essential to having a more enjoyable visit. How generous you have been with your time and energy during your Summer trip this year. Everything takes 3 times longer when you're trying to film it, so thank you for taking the time. I imagine you're probably already back in the states by now, but if not, safe travel to you and yours! The holidays are just around the corner, as I know you'll have us cooking and making the most of our blessings before we know it! Everything you share has just that extra little touch of class that makes time together with loved ones so very special. Your efforts over the years have made many gatherings so much more memorable for all my people. I wish you the greatest success and happiness always! 💜 Bisous!😘
Aww I'm so happy to hear you have enjoyed them! This series was a last minute idea, and I'm so glad I tried it out, because it was such fun to have you all along for the ride! And as much as I'm missing all the glorious markets, and bakeries of France (and our cute French kitchen) I'm happy to be back, get the kids back to school, and work on some yummy recipes for the holiday season! So as it goes, every time has its season, so we'll say goodbye to France...until next year! :) I really want to take you guys to this cute restaurant on a farm next year!
@@EntertainingWithBeth The restaurant on a farm sounds amazing, I'll look forward to it! Welcome home!🏡
Hello Beth, love your videos and your home in France! I am a fellow Southern Californian living in France and married to a Frenchman and when you talked about meeting your husband's family for the first time and having to give 16 kisses, I could so relate to that and laughed out loud! I had to only give 1on each cheek but there were 9 of them!
To be honest since covid we have not really done ' the bisous ' and frankly I do not miss it! Have a safe trip, looking forward to your next video state side!
Ha! Oh I'm sure there are lots of other things we could laugh about ha! Yes with Covid no one was kissing, just fist bumping in the air :)
I would love to come the France and rent your house. Now I have the plan, I need a way to make it happen. I love what you did with the place, and I'd love to really learn the language, and soak up the culture. My great grandmother who I never met was French. I heard from my dad, that she was a fantastic cook.
Oh I bet she was! I'm always amazed at how French families can turn out the best home cooks! :)
The way you speak and the knowledge you share omg Beth I can’t thank you enough! I’ve always thought of myself as an avid traveler but so many of your tips are really useful and I’ve never tried but should so thank you so much!!
Your time in France has been great for me!
Been using a W/machine drier in UK for years
Oh no! Going to miss these videos but excited for home ones! (I’m British so it’s all so interesting for me hehe)
I loved this series also :) I wanted to let you know that we do have 1 store (that I know of in the US) that does the same thing with a coin & cart and that is Aldi's, which is a German based store (I believe?). You are right though. More stores should take advantage of the same thing! Have a safe trip back!
You are so Cool mom and always smiles . 100% so comfortable in front of the camera. Your channel way better than cooking channel itself. Killin' it !
Aldi's Grocery Stores have implemented the "quarter for your cart" policy. They pass the savings on to the shopper as they don't have to hire someone to collect them.
Thank you Beth it always feels like I’m there when I watch your videos and it makes me so happy! And I also feel like we’re best friends when I watch your videos I wish we could share a meal together. Bon voyage!
We used to have those carts needing the token/money here in Malaysia but i never see those anymore.. i used to love to help my mum and insert it and after, take the money back lol
Fabulous videos!!! I hope I run into you at a market in Southern California. Have a safe trip home♥️
Thank you, Beth. I have loved your time in France and this series has been such fun. Thanks for sharing. Have a safe trip home.
Such a lovely series, Beth! Thank you for sharing:)
I just wanted to say too...we have Aldi grocery stores where I live in Illinois and they have pay for and return the cart for a refund as well as requiring you to supply your own grocery bags. We love the concept!
I couldn't agree with you more Beth. My husband is German and when we went to visit with the children. Our children were born 1980 and 1981, we would do very similar things with them. It took 26hours or more to get to Germany so I had lots of entertainment for them, my medicine bag etc. My Husband's family were very curious about me. I always tried to put my best Aussie foot forward but sometimes there were a few little hiccups. Eg, at home here in the summer we all go bare footed around the house. Well, I never thought about that and just carried on my usual self......It was not well received, oh dear. They all thought I was the wild colonial kid!!! Loved your France vacation. Have a safe trip back home.
My family and I went to France in July 2019 and my niece got sick. We took her to the local clinic and there they prescribed a medicine that she needed to pick up from a pharmacy but they were unable to tell us which pharmacy to go to. They referred us to the local police station to find out where we would be able to go to have the prescription filled. Apparently the location changes. It was super strange. My guess is because of the type of medicine. This may be how they control prescription drug use. The clinic did administer the medicine while we were there but it was only one dose. Needless to say, we were told exactly where to go and we were able to continue our wonderful vacation. We stayed in France for two weeks and then we hopped over to Spain for another two weeks. I did NOT want to return back to California. It was a wonderful month long vacation. We are planning a trip to Morocco next in 2022. Hopefully by that time, we won’t have to loose any of our precious vacation time to quarantining once we reach our destination.
Oh wow! Yes there are things in France that always surprise me. Right before we left, all of our electricity went out, because the "plan" we signed up for apparently wasn't enough, and when you reach the limit they just shut it all off ha! So we upgraded to the second tier ha! Morocco sounds wonderful, I've always wanted to go there :) Have a wonderful time!
I think what happened here is it was “after hours”. The French have a system of “on call pharmacies” which change every week. Unlike here in the US where specific pharmacies are always open 24h, in France pharmacies take turns opening at night. So my guess is the clinic didn’t know which pharmacy was “de garde = on call” and that’s why they sent you to the police station because they have a list of which pharmacy would be open at what time. In Morocco you can usually find the name and address of the nearest open pharmacy at whatever closed pharmacy you come across lol hope that helps ;)
Also Morocco is wonderful (but I’m biased since I’m Moroccan lol) I hope you enjoy your time there !
Yes, at night or on weekends, pharmacies are closed except for one pharmacy on duty ( pharmacie de garde ). The police or a gendarmerie will tell you which one is open and what is the phone number to warn them ( The same system also exists for doctors and dentists)
I agree about medicine tote. I had a bad tummy ache and we were in the middle of the touristy area that my husband had to walk half a mile to get the medicine. If only I have thought about it….learned something about it. Thank you for the tips -we might travel to Europe anytime sooner.
I have just discovered your RUclips channel a week ago because I am fan of renovation home video of allover the world.
But guess what ? I am french woman living in Vendée and working in St Gilles Croix de Vie. And I loved all your videos and the way it makes me discover what I know with a different eye glance.so refreshing!. I crew up in Paris area, studying there. Meet my husband at university. His mother is from Vendée and 13 years ago we decided to leave Paris to come in Vendée where we used to have our summer holidays. Because each time we have to drive back to Paris to return to work and arrive at the end of the highway and passe gate ..we were sighing hard and thinking "why are we going back in that Creasyness life". Yes St Gilles is magic. I m not living in St Gilles exactly but in the country side behind... I love what you did with the Reno of this house. And I will go on following you back in USA for your coocking videos... Hope we can on day meet eachother when you will be back in St Gilles ! And yes every tips you gave are true!
Oh how funny Barbara! Yes I would love to meet up once we are back in SGCV! Hopefully back by Spring, and definitely back next summer :) Already missing the Brioche for breakfast ha!
@@EntertainingWithBeth ... So funny my husband is actually working in a famous brioche factory here in Vendée ...you know the one with this young blond little girl on the packaging. Even if they are trully goods I am sure your prefer handmade ones.
More French recipes please! I made your cherry clafoutis and it was insane! Also your salmon with burre Blanc! Wow! Your bistro style chocolate mousse - wow - your French shepherds pie 🥧- wow! (Can’t remember the French name for it!) -
Hello from Orange County California! I thoroughly enjoyed your series in your new home! I visited Europe for the first time summer 2019 and I long to visit France! I hope to rent your gorgeous home too😊!
I am so happy you popped into my feed in the last week. I’ve binged watched the France series and it has been gorgeous and sweet
Love the way you explain things and you come across. I found you by accident and have been watching your videos back to back. I love Europe and French culture and have enjoy all my life. Watching you was like how I feel and do things…so much alike! The recipes and the presentations are fabulous. I wish you the best and much health to you and your family so that you can enjoy this beautiful life you have created.
Aww thanks Elys! I'm so glad you have been enjoying them! And that you found me :) I'm back in France this week and will be sharing more French updates starting this weekend! :) Until then!
Seeing France from your point of view was amazing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The "Medicine tote" always saves the day ha! :)
This series was a great way to feel like we were traveling during a year where we couldn't. Thank you for sharing your home, recipes, and adventures with us!
Thanks so much! I was riveted to each tip! Also enjoyed your sense of humor! So much fun to hear your experiences! Loved your “French Videos!”
Ha! Glad you liked the tips! The "Medicine Tote" reminds me of when I dragged all the diapers, formula and bottles to France and Phil was like "Beth, We HAVE Babies in France!" LOL!

Oh, my goodness. I have loved this series. I was lucky enough to live in Spain for a bit and this sort of brought me back in time. I can’t wait to travel again. Thank you for sharing your home and your daily life with us. You’re right. Renting an apartment or a home is the best way to really get to know the country and the people. Going to the markets does force you to speak-and, they are fun! Bon voyage! Have a safe trip back to the states!
I can’t wait for next summer I loved this series
Beth, you are a dynamo! Excellent series. Loved the tours and the transformation of your vacation home.

Hello Beth...former San Franciscan living in the south of France for 31 years! Right on the bat with your tips.Bon voyage and continue your vlogs from the states..
I have thoroughly enjoyed your French series Beth. Very informative, and more importantly, entertaining.
Spot on, Beth. Thank you for reminding us that traveling is so perspective-building. You’ve clearly put your heart and soul into these videos (and this house). Thanks for taking us along.
You are just adorable! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our French Summer tour with you. ❤️

Hi Beth ! Thank you so much for this summer series in France, it was absolutely lovely, I enjoyed each and every videos ! Love from France
Beth, I love the tips and everything else! Awesome 💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home & summer in France,
it’s been wonderful seeing it all & such great advice & tips, I’ve really enjoyed it all so much x x
I loved this series.
Loved this video! You should have put in that when you eat to use both hands (fork and knife) on the table ;) cheers and looking into the other persons eyes is common in most European countries:) and will be taught at an early age. And the greeting strangers, we have in Switzerland as well. Especially when you go hiking or in a random building.
Hope you had a nice summer and can’t wait for your new meal videos!
Thank you so much for the wonderful time you gave us while watching your vlog. I enjoyed every minute of it.
I'm so glad! :) Thanks for joining the adventures! :)
Just found your channel and I am in love with it and you!!!!. This video was particularly helpful. Thank you
Thanks to you & your family for the amazing videos showing the French culture. The house came out amazing, so cozy & inviting. Safe travels back home & looking forward to videos.
Love this video! Made me laugh and feel good! You are always I entertaining! Great ideas...thank you.
I really enjoyed this series. I live in France and you did a great job of summing up what it's like here. I'm looking forward to your recipe videos when you get settled back home! Bon voyage!
Great information
Thank you Beth.
Safe travels, and welcome home.
Great advice !!!
Omg!! Best tips Beth. They are so..so.. practical n so well thought off.. tqvm.
Thank you so much for these videos! The time and care you put into making them was so appreciated. They were both informative and entertaining. I really enjoyed them and looked forward to the next one. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them Julie! They were really fun to put together and share :)
Thank you, Beth! All of your tips are entertaining and very helpful. I laughed at the kisses tip! Have a safe trip home! 🙋🏻♀️
I found interesting your tip about greeting people before launching into your questions. There was a lot of French settlement in the southern part of the U.S. and that’s the way it is down there. You don’t go up to people, even if you know them, and starting asking for something. Always first a greeting and a “how are you”. This was so enjoyable.
What wonderful tips, Beth. Thank you so much for sharing your summer with us. Hopefully Covid will allow us to travel next year.
Enormous great travel tips to France, Beth. Thank You Very Much !
All wonderful tips, thank you Beth, safe travel back home ❤️❤️
Good tips. Thanks.
