Bonjour,
Today's video is just a random update on what I've been up to the past couple of weeks. We're busy with our kitchen building works, getting things ready for spring and I'm going on a trip to film two houses next week so all of that's coming up in the coming weeks and months. In today's video I'm taking you brocante shopping in Nolay, house hunting with my friends in the south of Burgundy and into our garden where we're pruning trees and hedges and where spring has sprung!
See you again next week!

I love your views of the charming villages and beautiful countryside. Thank you.
Thank you!
Wow. Thx for setting me straight! And so graciously too. I’m off to “educate myself.” God bless you!
@@FrenchCountryLife Vous connaissez le chateau de " Guédelon " du XIII eme siècle, en construction depuis 25ans, en Bourgogne ?
@@didierjacob250oui bien sûr! C’est magnifique!!
As always, a lovely video! The French countryside is just so beautiful and it looks like your garden is about to be I full bloom. Welcome to Spring!
I read Simone Veil's "Seul l'espoir apaise la douleur" and I fell in love with her - totally random airport shopping and what a surprise! Good luck with the new cat 😻
Oh yes I’d love to read that too, the title is intriguing!
I so admire how clean everything is in France. I hope your friends make their dream come true of a home in France.
Just ordered the English version of Simone Veil's book and appreciate your bringing it to my attention! Another beautiful presentation and I hope your friends find their home near you so you can often visit and explore together.
Thank you!
I could watch your videos for hours. Beautiful scenery, lovely towns and shops and of course your home and gardens ❤. The cat may have picked you for a reason. We already have 4 cats but my son feeds and cares for several feral cats who don’t want to live inside but like this area. He helps catch them, gets them spayed then builds small hidden shelters for each one. Works out well🥰
I haven’t seen the cat for over a week now unfortunately… I hope it is safe and found a home
Your life and view of the world is a lovely balance of intelligence,beauty and peace.
Thank you
Your videos are always beautiful, charming and soothing. Hope your friends find a place to make their own. ❤
Thank you!
I'm definitely going to read Simone Veil's book. Thanks for the tip.
You’re welcome!
I enjoyed the coffee shop & brocante too! I hope your friends find what they’re looking for. You’ll have to give us a tour of their place when they do. TFS!😊
My pleasure!
Thanks soooo much for all of your guidance, so valuable (and fun!!!)😍
My pleasure sweetie!
Another lovely video Marloes! Thanks for taking us on this trip... and brocanting!
My pleasure!
Loved listening to the birdsong in the background of this loevly video, so soothing.
Happy to hear that!
Lovely video on living in the French countryside. I envy multi-liguistic capabilities common in Europe. The 🇺🇸 was very isolated for generations and language was limited to english. As an after war baby boomer I lived it and had no interest in languages. My grandfather spoke french , german and english...being Alsatian. My mom learned none of it. Now we play catch up. Love the store escapades! Out yard touch up, yesterday in 50's...Wisconsin 🖐
Thank you!
So peaceful 😊
Yes it is 😊
Really?
Yesssss 😍😍😍 see yourself
Nahhh i am good
You should 😒
Hi Marloes! Great video once again... that countryside is just so awesome!!
Thanks!
Good Morning! Love the video. At one point in the video there is a bird chirping as you're pruning and it sounded like it was saying "tout de suite, tout de suite, tout de suite." Felt like even the birds chirp in French! So lovely 💖
Thx you Marloes Your expertise was very helpfull in our questionnaires to find a house in the Bourgogne ❤
My pleasure natuurlijk!
Good experience at the coffe book , glad to learn about the culture life in France. Thhanks for sharing the interesting biogrraphy. Have a nice week.😊😊🍀🍀
Come sempre tutto bello è interessante.e' un piacere x me vederti tutti i venerdì sei come una coccola aspetto sempre.❤
Thank you for a lovely video, loved the wee brocantes and the café in Nolay, such a charming village😊 and thank you for the book reference, will definitely be adding it to my list of books i want to read🥰

Leuk om met je mee te kijken.

Thanks voor de tip!
@@FrenchCountryLife Il s'agit du film "Simone, le voyage du siècle" - film de Olivier DAHAN et l'actrice qui joue le rôle de Simone VEIL est Elsa ZYLBERSTEIN (excellente actrice).
A lovely video. You live in a beautiful place
Thank you!
Merci pour cette vidéo à bientôt💓💓💓
Merci
Hi Marloes
I live in Australia,it is Tuesday 18th March as I am sending this message to you. I have been following your journey for the last couple of years. It is an absolute delight to go with you on your brocanting trips and to share memories with you. Love your home and the most beautiful and peaceful country side that surrounds you. You have been an inspiration to me.
I have been trying to purchase your cooking book since it was released (was sold out straight away)💝 I cannot get it through Amazon it is always out of stock. Have you changed publishers? It is so popular.
Keep up these wonderful French escapes.
Jenni Bridger
Hi Jenni! Thank you for your support to this channel! ❤️ Amazon Australia doesn’t sell selfpublished hardcover books unfortunately… it is not sold out as it is printed on demand but Australia doesn’t offer that service. To get the best shipping rate they advise you get it from Amazon.co.uk. I know many others in Australia ordered from there and delivery was pretty quick. Hope this helps and thanks again!
Ohh thank you so much. I shall get on to it straight away. I am so looking forward to try some of the recipes I have watched you cook. My fondest regards Jenni.🎉🧑🍳😊
Great video Marloes! I have the book in English :) And she is buried in the pantheon, we went to pay our respects.
Wat een schitterende beelden weer Marloes! Ik verheug me altijd op een nieuwe video! Zo mooi alle voorjaarsbloeiers en de route naar Nolay! Ik geniet ook altijd van Tigrette! Is het zwarte poesje niet een gezellig vriendje voor haar? Poezen zoeken hun baasjes uit! Liefs vanuit Nederland! 😍
Take the cat Marloes 😂
I haven’t seen it for over a week now… 🫤
Goodness! I’ve loved this “getaway visit” for the beauty of Spring with its promise of tomorrow after a hard Winter, the preciousness of new life bursting forth (for ALL Life is a gift), the countryside, lovely flowers, stone homesteads, sweet shops, travel close by, getting together with old friends, house shopping, soothing voices, calmness of the destination, lack of traffic & hustle and bustle, etc. And, then came the “gut punch.” Disappointing! 😢
She was AGAINST abortion and her process of legalizing it meant she put so much in place to prevent women from making the decision (because even though it wasn’t legal before many women traveled to other counties to have it done!) and putting support systems in place for mothers so they knew they would get help if they kept the baby, creating / imposing a chat with a doctor that would also put women on birth control to prevent this from happening again. She was a remarkable lady and it’s incredible what she has achieved, especially since she was AGAINST abortion, like you seem to be. She made sure women (and men!) were more responsible with birth control and were highly discouraged getting an abortion and she was especially clear on making sure it was not seen as an easy way out after irresponsible sexual relationships. She went very far in what she imposed and it was ground breaking. She wanted to help those women that got pregnant after rape or incest (those numbers apparently were shockingly high at the time), as before this law, a woman that would get an abortion in this case would be charged with murder, even though she was a victim of rape.
Educate yourself before you judge. You have not heard what I said and I think you don’t have a clue what this all was about. Maybe in your country abortion is viewed as an easy solution after sleeping around in which case I understand one would be against it.
Thank you for your explanation of the contents of the book. . My apologies for being offensive to you. Sometimes in text, words or thoughts don’t come out as expected. As I tried to mention in my first text, I was simply saying how much I’ve enjoyed your channel because it takes me to a place far, far away (a dreamland) from the everyday grind, political opinions and games people play in my country.
Yes, in my country there is much upheaval over the issue you have spoken about. People are on polar opposites of the scales about the Gift of Life & the taking of such a Life, rape or no rape, taking Life before birth or after birth. (Yes, some are trying to legalize taking the Life of a baby after it is born.) There are those who are so wicked, evil, vile, & demon-possessed that they harvest the organs of babies before birth or after birth for monetary gain, sacrificing the Gift of Life. It is an ugly reality.
Since I’ve never really heard you mention your opinion on such things, I was uncomfortable when you made mention of it and it surprisingly took me out of the happy place I find myself in when I watch your beautiful channel. I meant no disrespect to you or your opinion. And, no I am not the Judge of said things. Again, my apologies for offending you.
Thank you for your reply and for explaining. That helps. And I fully understand that me talking about this took you out of the vibe of the video. I hadn’t really looked at it that way. I am shocked to hear about some people’s opinions in your country. So yes, let’s keep the craziness of this world out of the videos. That has always been my intention by the way (and then some criticize I don’t address world issues and pretend everything is beautiful 😮. My intention with this channel is to show people the beauty of life and this world, because we can spend our days looking at all the evil (much of it we can’t change anyway) or we can decide to want to see the beauty, love, the kindness in people etc. It’s just a choice.
Thank you for understanding. Yes, “took me out of the vibe of the video.” Yes, please keep the craziness of this world out of your beautiful videos. For we won’t pretend everything is beautiful, because it isn’t, but for a multitude of moments we can choose to see the beauty of this world as it was intended to be seen. And, we can see the people, places, and things as you have meant us to see them. And, enjoy those multitude of moments thru your eyes as we appreciate you & your charming channel!
♥️
Awww, kitty needs a home.
Wish you will not go to politics..no matter what your views are.....Our lives are running by politics and a breath of fresh air are your beautiful home improvements updates.❤
I agree. I only spoke about how I was intrigued by someone’s life but a lot of people apparently heard me share a political opinion which I haven’t even done. It’s what people think they hear I guess which is why I stay away from these topics as much as I can… I am also sharing things I find fascinating about France and French culture but again it turns out a lot of people can’t hear what I say and I am misunderstood. The internet is a crazy place sometimes.
👍❤️❤️❤️😍
Lovely. It really doesn't matter if one cat or two... 😉
I haven’t seen it around for almost a week now 🙁
@@FrenchCountryLife Hopefully it has just returned to its owner. 😟
Yes! Or maybe it is still around or has been picked up by someone else…with all the farms around it won’t starve but I would have liked to be able to check if it had a chip because in that case someone may be desperately looking for it! We’ve lost Tigrette for two days and we were devastated and so happy when she came back home. I wouldn’t want anyone to have to miss their cat and not know where it is.
@@FrenchCountryLife Yeah, I know, I'm also a cat mum. Fingers crossed.
I interviewed Simone Veil in 1995 for my dissertation research on the French and U.S. abortion movements. Fascinating person.
Wow!! She truly is!
You are a big STORYTELLER👏 I'm reading now about this great woman! Try to find the book in hebrew. Thanks, Mona from Israel🌷🌳♥️
You’re welcome! She’s such an intriguing woman!
Hi Marloes, Thanks for the F&B paint colour name. It's perfect. We're over your way in early April, could you please let us know that name of the brocante located in Autun that you recommend? Merci Maria
The brocante is called La baronne du broc @hannievandenbrink6272
@@FrenchCountryLife Perfect thanks
🥰🇨🇦
you finally mulched. its going to save your back and knees from weeding.
I only weed the gravel though… which is a pain! Usually the plants and flowers cover most of the soil so I don’t need to weed in between plants but the mulch definitely looks better and will protect against any weeds indeed.
Pourquoi vos vidéos ne sont pas en français.
Pour permettre au plus grand nombre de personnes de découvrir notre belle France 🇫🇷
Oh I'm so sad now. I truly loved your videos, but today, knowing your stance on @bortion, it was a huge sadness. I am sure that I am not important in your life, anyway my heart asked me to comment and from now on it will be impossible to follow your work. Let the babies live. God bless you all!
That is very sad indeed. I don’t recall having shared any personal opinion on this topic, just my admiration of a woman and her life. I will say this:
Simone Veil was AGAINST abortion and her process of legalizing it meant she put so much in place to prevent women from making the decision (because even though it wasn’t legal before many women traveled to other counties to have it done or had it done in dangerous ways and sometimes they got severely injured) and putting support systems in place for mothers so they knew they would get help if they kept the baby, creating / imposing a chat with a doctor that would also put women on birth control to prevent this from happening again. She was a remarkable lady and it’s incredible what she has achieved, especially since she was AGAINST abortion, like you seem to be. She made sure women (and men!) were more responsible with birth control and were highly discouraged getting an abortion and she was especially clear on making sure it was not seen as an easy way out after irresponsible sexual relationships. She went very far in what she imposed and it was ground breaking. She wanted to help those women that got pregnant after rape or incest (those numbers apparently were shockingly high at the time), as before this law, a woman that would get an abortion in this case would be charged with murder, even though she was a victim of rape.
Please try to listen before you judge on what my personal opinion on it is or isn’t. You have not heard what I said and I think you don’t have a clue what this all was about. Maybe in your country abortion is viewed as an easy solution after sleeping around in which case I understand one would be against it.
An abortion is not the killing of a baby. An embryo is not a baby. Please, don't mislead that way the people who read your comment. It is dishonest.
When the heroine Simone fought for “women’s rights,”
I guess she discounted the rights of women before they’re born.

Before writing anything, maybe you should read some books about who Simone Veil was, what she suffered, and what she achieved.
Simone a Holocaust survivor and an abortion activist. Interesting.
Do some research on her, I’m sure you’ll find it intriguing. She was AGAINST abortion and her process of legalizing it meant she put so much in place to prevent women from making the decision (because even though it wasn’t legal before many women traveled to other counties to have it done, sometimes getting seriously injured!) and putting support systems in place for mothers so they knew they would get help if they kept the baby, creating / imposing a chat with a doctor that would also put women on birth control to prevent this from happening again.
