In august 2022 our family left everything behind and moved to France - not knowing where we would end up. Finally, after a difficult search, we found our home: a neglected old farmhouse. This is our story after living one year in France.
Renovating and restoring our old farmhouse, the old barns and the garden and land will take years. But in the end, it's about the journey and not the end destination. After all, you should always have something to dream about. Right?
Perhaps our life story will also inspire you to pursue your dreams, whatever they may be. Join us on this extraordinary adventure, where dreams become reality, and possibilities are endless.

The amount of work you have done is fantastic! What a beautiful home you have.

@petitrevefrance 9 месяцев назад

Thanks 😀

@shirleygraham6229 9 месяцев назад

Firstly, thank you for speaking English. It was great to hear your story. You are doing well. Your children will always remember your times together, rather than holes in the walls, however temporary. Do you and your husband speak French? Your lovely children will learn quickly enough no doubt. I notice others who have moved, learn the language on line and love that way of doing so. Gaining confidence quickly to communicate with other lpeople. I look forward to your progress. You have done well so far. Best wishes from Australia.

@petitrevefrance 9 месяцев назад

Hi Shirley, Thanks for your lovely words. My kids speak French they learned it very fast at school. And we speake it also a little bit but not so good as them. But we learn everyday a little by little. 😃

@TWROC96 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for documenting your family's French journey. You have made amazing progress on the home and garden. Best of luck to you and your family and success to your business.

@petitrevefrance 9 месяцев назад

We choose for the lot et Garonne area, in the south west. It has a warm climate in summers, and we liked the hills. And It's 3 hours away from ski resorts in the pyrenees. So we can go on ski trips.

@petitrevefrance 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Suzie, We have indeed chosen English so that we can let more people enjoy it, because few people can understand Dutch . We also watch other RU-vid channels of people who have done this. But we have done a lot of DIY in previous houses etc. So that is a lot of experience we have gained over the years. Making RU-vid videos is new for us.

@petitrevefrance 9 месяцев назад

In the 2 and 4 episode on our channel we give a tour of the house, with how the house looks inside..Mostly before we started renovating the rooms. On the long term the house gonna looks so different than now, but we did it all the things ourselfs, so that's the reason why nothing is finished yet.

@user-nn9oj6gg3k 7 месяцев назад

Ooo that great woodfloor from the boys bedroom... you took that away? Why

@petitrevefrance 7 месяцев назад

Yes it had to come out unfortunately. A large part was full of mold on it and underneath on the concrete as well. I think because the previous owners had put a vinyl floor over it. Several boards were also missing already. In our own room it is also there. But unfortunately exactly the same there and our health is most important so he will go out there too. But maybe we will reuse the part that is still good in another place in the house with less floor space. After all, we haven't thrown it away yet.

@katharinedavis4947 9 месяцев назад

Do you find renovating a house stressful ? I did 3 houses in my life . I had always wanted to do it and found it very satisfying. The first 2 were when I was married and I wonder looking back whether the stress contributed to my marriage breakup . The last one I did alone but had builders in to do it , and lived in rented accommodation until it was ready . So less stressful. Kay

@petitrevefrance 9 месяцев назад
