    I've found your peaceful nature and your kind, thoughtful and sensitive personality Marloes, to be a soothing salve to my changing life at the moment. Thank you. You've been like a comforting quiet friend for the past few weeks since, I came across your soothing and interesting channel amongst the Chateau/French channel feeds. You've helped me/are helping me still, to quiet my mind thru' a traumatic time at present, thank you. I wish you and your family well, and the increase of viewers in your channel.

      @@FrenchCountryLife I actually took screenshots of many of the scenes that took and I think I’m going to print them and frame them. They really are beautiful! For sure I’m going to use them on my goal board for pictures to look at each day for a future trip to France! I did go to France many years ago, but it was typical in and around Paris. I did the London Amsterdam Paris trip, which for me was great because it was fully guided our luggage and everything was taken care of. It was on trip with great people, but got to spend a lot of time on my cell, but it would be fun to come back and drive through the countryside and stay in some of the local areas!
      I think you should consider seeing if you could frame some of the screenshots and you might have a new career

      ​​​@@carolranes91si vous avez suffisamment de temps, et je vous le souhaite, n'hésitez pas à traverser la France d'est en ouest et du nord au sud, vous y découvrirez une très grande variété de paysages, beaucoup de pépites architecturales, et beaucoup d'Histoire, et même de préhistoire.

    Thank you, Marloes for sharing your journey and answering so many great questions. I have been viewing your channel for a while now. I loved the community gathering event you shared and I'm so glad your family has been welcomed in Burgundy. The story of your sons transition from Netherlands to France was very interesting. Change can be so difficult and sometimes we just don't know how things will work out. Seems like timing was everything and they rose to the challenge. I'm sorry to hear you are not singing. You have a lovely voice! Thank you, again for creating these videos. Treasured gifts! I have a very stressful job and relish the stories you create in and out of nature. Sending you and your family much peace, prosperity and blessings from California. Take good care!

    I loved this video. Thanks for sharing so much Marloes. I find that I resonate with so much of your perspective and what you have to say about it. You are an example of how being true to your spirit and surrounding yourself with beauty, can be life enhancing and sustaining. Your boys are learning early that the rat race is a different world all together. They are blessed to have you and Olav walking with your lantern just a few steps ahead of them. Luis and I are back home now - x 3 days - reflecting on our wonderful stay with you. What we agreed is that 2 nights was not sufficient. Until we meet again.
