Bonjour! Bienvenue chez France with Véro. I am a French native from Toulouse who relocated to France in 2019, after more than twenty years in the United States.
A creative multitasker, I've shared my love of Paris, France and French culture on social media for over a decade.
An experienced content creator, tour guide and adult educator, I draw on a diverse skillset when I share content online. My goal? To bring glorious sights, informative commentary, and a native's perspective to viewers.
Paris and beyond: Give one of my virtual tours a try and let me know what you think!
Merci Vero for the tour. I visited this site and Glanum after I attended l'Insitut de Francais in Villefranche sur Mer a number of years ago. I must visit again as it is so beautiful. St Remy is a lovely town.
I'm in Angers almost weekly and ashamed to admit that I have only crossed over to La Doutre once to visit the hospital (CHU). Angers city itself has many interesting buildings and not a few of those wooden sculptures like the hidden one you showed. Your video is my cue to get over there and start exploring. I suspect there is much more to be seen there also.
What an interesting video! I had never heard of these apples before. What a hard life the troglodytes must have had. Thank you for showing us these new and unique places.
I am sure there were many challenges when living in those caves (the humidity level for one, must have been unbearable) yet I am certain they adapted after a while since so many lived there for so long over the centuries.
Fascinant, un grand merci France with Véro. Were the caves completely man-made, or did nature give the rooms a start? (i.e. Did the people who fashioned their homes or workplaces do all the excavating of the tuffeau, completely themselves?)
After exploiting the quarries for centuries I’d venture to say a lot of the ground work was done to set up dwellings in the caves even if openings had to be added to let the light in etc.
So interesting. It seems a little like the dried apples that my mom used to make applejack (fried hand pies). I imagine they were used to living in the caves. It seems that it would be hard though with the cold. Enjoyed the video. Thanks much.😊
As always, so entertaining and informative! I have 3 or 4 friends who live in troglo or semi-troglo homes in this area and I've never slept as well as I did in the guest room of a troglo 'mansion' of 5 stories with a lovely yard and garden on top, across from the Château de Saumur. Thanks, Véro!
Thank you for this fun and informative tour of Hans and Adeline's shop. Your questions are so intelligent and your elucidations are so perceptive. I learned so much about shapes, textures, and ripening of cheeses! Now my mouth is watering and I will just have to plan another trip to Tours to purchase cheeses from them.
I was lucky enough to visit this chateau in January -- you're right, it's elegant and quite refined; the perfect size. Thank you for walking us back through this gorgeousness!
Merci pour le super tour. That 's what I would say after strolling the streets where I grew up. The Mayflower bar was a big thing. I heard about it for 10 years, that 's where my dad used to hangout weekends. I thought it was a friend's place until I went there and saw it was a whisky bar...open late for those who need one last drink. At the corner of the Rue du Pot de Fer is the oldest bar in Paris and I used to play darts there. a Jewel at 20. The crepe place was opened ay 4 am for the poor souls who needed to wrap up the drinking. Rue Mouffetard is it. Un super voyage. Merci.!
This was fabulous, Vero, so informative & interesting. Cheese making surely is an art & we can now appreciate even more what passion it takes to produce great cheeses. Merci beaucoup to Hans, Adeline & you for enlightening us!
Another side issue: there is a video on RU-vid channel Versed about Louisiana trying to save it's French language and culture. Okay, it's Cajun French. But at least they are trying. 😊
As always, I love your videos! On a sad note, I am in mourning, having just learned of the passing of Françoise Hardy. Now my two favorite French singers are gone. (France Gall is #1) 😢😢😢 I better not have a third favorite. I might be bad luck...😊
Merci beaucoup pour cette merveilleuse interview. J'aime les petites entreprises dont les propriétaires sont passionnés par leur produit ou service. J'ai fait une grande quantité de ratatouille aujourd'hui pour la servir demain avec un assortiment de fromages de Hans et Adeline aux Halles!
