French Country Life – Is it For You?
French Country Life – is it for you? I mean – Really for you? Short Answer: Depends on how close it needs to match your dreams of Life in the French Countryside.
Now, don’t get me wrong – dreams are good. Dreams are healthy. As you well know – I’m here because I had a dream of living in the French countryside. And I put that dream into action.
That’s the key. Whether you action is as simple as getting accurate information. That’s action. That’s outside the fantasy zone. And that’s where you want to be.
Where you don’t want to be – is making any life changing decisions without : a)experiencing your dream location in a howling snow-filled gale in the dead of winter.(the ultimate test of your heating system) (b) getting to know some of the locals (c) hipping yourself to the labyrinth of laws that govern things as miniscule as what color your can paint your dream villa, etc.
If your dream is for the DEEP south of France – ie – le cote d’azur (uh….that would be Nice, Cannes, etc?) you could probably pass on point (a)
OK – so now that you’re (hopefully) a little more “in the know” and (again, hopefully) in the mood for some French Country Life experience……
Here ya go!
THROW ME A BONE HERE, PEOPLE!
What are ya thinkin’?
after this video..how can it NOT be for me?….for ANYONE!!!
I’m packing my bags! (lol!)
very nice that you are sharing the best of france with your audience. even the french people, like me, are enjoying this.
Some great advice here…along with an equally great video – as usual. Many thanks!
i agree with olive..on both counts! especially your advice about experiencing your “dream” during “nightmare conditions. (lol!)
bro – this is way cool!
while i really did appreciate your last article….good to have you return to the side of france we all know and love!
this video is telling us that spring is just around the corner….rights?
this is making me want to go north (to france)…but now in barcelona we are having very nice weather. is the weather in france like this now?
really get the atmosphere….too cool!
Another in your long line of great videos. keep them coming BG!
I’ve seen all of your videos on youtube…..and this is one of the best for giving the flavor of french country life. bonn appetit!
This video reminds me a lot of the trip I made through france last summer. Thanks for bringing back those great memories with this great vid!
works for me!
While i haven’t yet been to France, it was on my “might visit” list before I saw this video. Now it’s on the “MUST VISIT” one!
I don’t know how you manage to keep your quality so high….but…for heaven’s sake – don’t stop!
You have a way not only with the written narrative – but also with the visual one. As you display so elequently in this presentation. well done. again!
what i like about this video…other than the beautiful shots, of course, is the way you keep the pace moving without making it feel rushed.
i’m with you there too brent…..and i’d just like to add that, for me anyway, there’s never any “filler” in the shots. every one is essential for getting the story across. (and NO i’m not a video maker!)
Folks i appreciate whet you’ve said…but i don’t know diddly squat about video…except i know what i like. And i luv this one!
The pace of your video is just what I imagine french country life would(should?) be like. Flattered to know I’m on your wavelength!
yet another great vid from DA BG!
indeed linda….so BG…howsabout a longer one next time?
Love it – But it’s too short!….give us some longer ones!!!
Another immpecable glimpse of the life we’d all like to lead. May you share more with us. And often.
like everyone else…looking forward to more…and SOON! All the best BG!
