      @@JaniceInFrance i am here for the rescue cat FIRST.
      and i like the way you pronounce Fontainebleau , Fountain Blue awwww that accent is worth keeping. Now i would have pictured you living in the Riviera instead of the busy Paris , you would have enjoyed the proximity to italy here. I was raised in the south , and i have only been to Paris once , but everyone from out of town thinks I sound Parisian . I guess because I am black its difficult for people to imagine a Black person being raised Country.
      i hope you'll enjoy it here , its an imperfect nation and requires a lot of patience regarding any administration work . It gets uncomfortable for a minute. But you are ready for the new adventure so you'll be fine.

    Hi Janice. I hope you are as happy as I am living here in France. I lived in Paris and then moved to Bordeaux and then to Fountainbleau. Fountainbleau is such a cute, little city and everyone was very nice and I loved the chateau. I did move there a few months before lockdown, so I didn't get the full experience for very long. Just something to consider... if you want to do frequent trips into Paris to explore and travel to other countries Fountainbleau may not be the best home base. The travel by bus and then train each time to go to Paris to explore or catch flights and trains is not the most convenient. You might consider a town connected directly to an RER into Paris such as Versailles or Saint Germaine en Laye. Bonne chance.

    • @JaniceInFrance
      @JaniceInFrance  11 місяців тому

      I certainly have considered it like this morning I’m going to Versailles so I have to get up early because if I lived a little closer I could pick a choose another train etc. etc. etc. but in the long-haul it’s Fontainbleau for me

    Hi Janice. Just came across your UA-cam channel today. We have much in common. My husband and I are planning to retire from Naples, FL to Nice, France, in spring 2024, when we are both 70. I actually created my UA-cam channel to eventually share my journey on this process and our new lives adjusting to a new life in France, filling in temporarily with our travels elsewhere. You are blazing the trail on the move to France! You have already saved me some research on a few things. I look forward to watching all of your videos. 🙂

      @JaniceInFrance  2 роки тому

      I had a cat and a dog but you certainly can take two cats one will have to be handled by your husband and the other one with you unless they’re small enough and go into one crate. I would advise you to do that nonstop flight. I regret not doing that but I thought it was going to be easier on the animals but it turned out not to be. I’m not sure where you’re traveling from but I was traveling from Atlanta so it would’ve been an eight hour trip and they could’ve gone eight hours but what they ended up doing was a lot more than just eight hours. So that would be my tip for you. Of course I have to have paperwork from the vet and they have to have a current Raby shot within a certain amount of time there’s some videos of done on this so anyway if you need any extra help our inspiration or just a little shot in the arm to do what you need to do let me know

    Good luck on your adventure! Sounds like a fantastic plan. 3.5 years ago I made my move to France. I sold my house in San Francisco, sold or gave away all my belongings and bought a canal boat In Southwestern France. It’s taken me a while, due to the Pandemic but I finally arrived in Paris this last October.
    France is a wonderful country and you’ll have a wonderful time. There’s so much to explore here. Living here is so much better than just visiting. I visited Fontainebleau for a few days on my way to Paris. It’s a great town, with good restaurants and the Chateau is pretty incredible. Easy to walk to from the town center.
