    The most enchanting still life of Chartres and it’s hidden treasures to ever come alive and seen through the eyes of France’s most prolific cultural ambassador in such a picturesque way that the viewing audience ends up being mesmerised throughout. Ms. Jarvis at her very best ! 🥇

I particularly liked the tortoise and the the old lady carrying wood. Such great finds you all aquired. ❤

    I can see how easy it would be to get in trouble with Isabelle in La Chartres! It's a charming town with lovely shops, magical brocantes and so many beautiful things. Vivienne and Simon of the fairytale Chateau La Croix Boisée are the perfect couple to tour the town with and inspire Philip and Stephanie to indulge in a few fun purchases, though not much encouragement is required.😄

    Stephanie is such a great tour guide as people are saying....for a moment she reminded me of Rick Steve's start to a video in her talent for presenting everything- even though they don't look alike/have different accents....but the level of professional presentation while still being down to earth is there. It would be interesting if they ever crossed paths presenting these little shops in France....cafe's, regional cuisine...

    TERRE or LA TERRE the Turtle, Tierra in Spanish there is a legend that turtle holds, supports our planet. turtles are some of my most favorite little creatures to have at home. Stephanie, You got now the most elegant, exquisite, charming, and such a outstanding treasure..a museum piece for sure. I hope some day you find the time to create a nice little museum with all those pieces that you feel most inspired to be and with the story of how the artist he/she came with the idea to create the piece and a photo of it's creator of course. Hugs to all of you. And keep enjoying your trips, and keep making your videos for those like myself without ever chance to travel to France or any country over the sea, l dream l am there my only problem 😢 is that l can not take any piece with me, and in a second thought l couldn't buy anything anyway because l have not money 😮, and yes not money not funny 😂😅. Ok l am still shopping with you and let me tell you my shopping 🛒🛍️ are quite light so let's keep shopping...after all l have a lots of money, my money from childhood green 🍀 🌿 🌿 🎉And please say hello to TERRE the turtle and ask her if we can go out for a walk the three of us, or many of us and have a nice picnic near home. from Virginia.
