Thinking of buying a house in France or moving abroad? In this video, we share the truth about what it's really like to live in a French countryside home compared to a house in the U.S. From thick stone walls and charming radiators to the total lack of home inspections and permits, we dive into all the surprises we encountered while house-hunting in France. Whether you're drawn to rustic homes full of character or just trying to understand how heating, cooling, and renovations differ from American standards, this conversation is packed with honest insights, funny stories, and hard-won lessons.

We also talk about the emotional and logistical side of moving overseas — the mindset you need before relocating, the importance of knowing your why, and the unexpected culture shocks (like tiny kitchens, no closets, and lots of DIY stores). If you're dreaming about life in France or considering a major lifestyle change, this video offers practical advice, things to look out for, and personal reflections from our journey.

And please drop us a line if you're looking for guidance! As mentioned, we offer consultations for those considering the big leap.

Thanks as always for watching. :)
