France Unfiltered: A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Taxes 🤪 💶

Описание: This week’s vlog is admin-heavy — it was the final countdown before the French tax declaration deadline. We also had to declare our foreign bank accounts which proved to be rather tedious. So grab a coffee (and maybe some snacks)! Don’t worry though — if taxes aren’t your thing, I’ve added a timestamp so you can skip ahead to the more colourful parts of the week.

We actually managed to get quite a lot done. Leon finally returned home (yay!), and while he was away… I got my Carte Vitale! I was genuinely thrilled — as you’ll no doubt see! It feels like a huge step forward in our journey toward settling permanently in France.

We also enjoyed a relaxed family BBQ. The weather is still doing its usual unpredictable dance, but when the sun shows up, we make the most of it. Luckily, we had glorious sunshine for the Monpazier flower market, and Millie and I spent a lovely afternoon browsing endless varieties of roses, hydrangeas, geraniums… It was an absolute feast for the eyes.

We started the vlog on a high and ended it on one — all in all, a good week!
