Thank you so much everyone!!! Thank you for your beautiful comments!!! Lots of love from our little village to you!!!
Your place looks like a little piece of heaven!! ❤️
We are watching you from Canada and dreaming of being there , on the sunny French Riviera coast..
If I may ask you a question, is this new, low floor apartment for a long or short time rental? If it is a short time rental I wonder if you potentially would be letting it to the tourists like us?😉
I am really enjoying watching yr videos. I appreciate the way you people hv chosen life to live. I can feel the beauty and peace of ur village .yr home is also very beautiful . I am from India.I wish one day I would see yr village.
Thank you so much! We rented it for a long term 🙏 (hopefully😅) it’s not that practice to stay in our village for the vacation, because you will have to always use the car to wonder around, go to the beach, do shopping ext., but I do believe you can find on Airbnb one or two places to stay in our village 😊 thank you again for your lovely comment ❤️
@@frenchvibes7604 thank you for your answer. Maybe your village isn’t the most touristy place but thanks to your videos it certainly becomes more and more popular. Such a great place to live!! Thank you for letting all the rest of the world to see and appreciate the beauty you live in every day. ❤️
Hola, mágico pueblo como se llama ?
The last few minutes when you and Chris were having a conversation is my favorite part of this video. You’re made for each other. You are true examples of life partners - through thick and thin. And clearly still so in love, we see it from how you look at one another. So inspiring. Perhaps you can devote one video about your love story. Always looking forward to your videos.
Oh this is soooo lovely, thank you so much❤
It turned out such a beautiful house🥰... What an amazing job👌🏽.... L❤vely family❤💙❤
Chris is an amazing artist. You both have restored this impressively; a hidden treasure now brought back to life; a diamond shaped into a lovely home 🎨💫❤✨💫🖼️💫
Aselya, what a magnificent job! Chris is so skilled and he definitely has 'vision' too! From a disaster to a designer's delight! So chic! I can't believe you restored the old house, all by yourselves, in less than a year! That is truly an amazing accomplishment!
Now that I've seen the layout of your entire house, I understand why the basement is on a different street and not accessible from your courtyard.
Beautiful! I especially love the rock wall! What a unique feature - so perfect for a medieval apartment in the mountains!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Merci beaucoup!!! ❤
I like how Chris is very humble despite the amount of work he has done! Kudos to him and to you guys for your teamwork. I hope I find a partnership like this in the future!
Kudos to Chris! What a visionary, talented husband you have. Such a beautiful family, well-deserving of such beauty.
Thank you, Aselya, for sharing the adventure.
Great video!
Chris should have his own TV show on how to renovate old houses. So amazing.
I am moved to tears seeing the results of your husband's amazing job. He is a lovely, talented man. My congratulations on your completed beautiful house💓 You are the best - I mean the three of you🤗😘
When I think of your family I see peace, love, creativity and charm! And then Aselya, you post this incredible video! The three of you are so loving and kind. You are an example to the rest of the world. Thank you for opening your lives to us all. ❤ Love- love-love all three of you.
It is actually an abode of peace made by an amazing and hardworking couple who is very much in love with each other and wanted to create a home with vibrant life for their son.
You have made justice to """" home sweet home where heart is """"
❤❤❤ for your beautiful renovation .
What an amazing transformation!! Chris put his heart and soul, talent and hard work into an awesome project. Congrats to your lovely family and thank you for sharing your world with us. So different than life in California in so many ways yet similiar in so many ways...if that makes sense.I think as humans we want the same things out of life no matter where we live or what language we speak. Love, family, peace and happiness.
I cannot believe Chris renovated all by himself! Chris, you are a champion! Beautiful job! We’ll done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Enjoy your beautiful house. ❤️❤️❤️
He's an artist 🎨 he captured the spirit of the place, the magic rock!!!! Wish you guys many more years of unbreakable love. You've survived 2 renovations.
Skillful hands deserve the crown!
You are a beautiful family!
I appreciate so much the relationship between Chris and your little boy. Father and son really love and appreciate each other’s presence in each of their lives. And what you did to that staircase is wonderful. It’s like a secret haven.
WOW! I cannot believe that was a one-man job. Incredible! And there was sacrifice on both sides, along with lots of love.
You are truly an inspiring family. You are working so hard and yet always seem calm and upbeat. Chris, I love how you cleaned and showed off the stone in its natural beauty.
I have no adequate words for how amazingly beautiful the rental part has become. Chris is a talented genius. Love to the three of you. 💚🩵💚
Thank you so much! Big hug ❤
Amazing beautiful job…. Lots of appreciation for the love that went into the job… but also for the tender love that remained between you and Chris… so inspiring. Bless you❣️❣️
I love this. A happy family in love with each other and a house, a village and surrounding natural beauty. What could be better?
Alesya and Chris. I wish to express my most heartfelt admiration of your determined hard work creating such a beautiful space. You are a true inspiration to us all.
What a hard working and talented husband you have. I agree with you choice not to do an Air-BNB. Smart move. No it is time to rest. I hope you find a good and stable renter and the rest of this year is a good one for you.😊
I was moved to tears to see the beauty unfold. How proud of your husband you just be. What a team the both of you and Mathew was so cute also showing all the progress. So much history in the walls👌
This was so much fun to watch!! Chris is a natural artisan builder and so modest, just like you dear Aselya. The renovation was stunning, especially how he made use of the natural light from the upstairs window around that magnificent rock and how the light shines in every space!! Your interview with Chris was priceless, the love and laughter shared was heartwarming I have watched it 3 times already. I’m so happy no big projects so you can all relax and enjoy your adventures on the Cote d’Azur. Warmest hugs and much love you all 3 of you beautiful people. ❤🎉🙏🏻
Thank heavens you two came along to renovate this abandoned house and create such a beautiful home from it! Not only does Chris have the imagination of what to do but the ability to do the necessary hard work. Congratulations to you both and thank you for sharing your journey with us all. 👏🤗👷🏻♂️🥂🍾 Cheers
Thank you!!!
My hat's off to both of you, especially Brother Chris, for his fantastic skill set, creativity, and commitment. Beaucoup de respect.
P.S. I watch ALL your videos many times, often before bed time as they leave me feeling so peaceful, happy and take me back to my youth in The Mediterranean. You are a huge blessing and gift to so many with your authenticity and joie de vivre. Thank you for all your hard work, and Chris’ too. Much love from cold Idaho, USA. ❤💖😇💯👏
I can’t get over the job Chris had done not only it turned out to be beautiful and functional and love the two of you are a perfect team and so is Matt. Hoping for a new video Chris relaxing❤
ahahaha :) Promise will let him to rest a little bit :) Thank you so much for your beautiful comment:)
Omg u are so lucky to have such a handy husband what a vision you both had for your old house so beautiful such a lovely top class Finnish now you can sit back and reap the rewards of your ancient house in comfort in such a beautiful village absolutely stunning and your husband seems so calm about such a massive job and those old stairs what a great restoration 😊😊😊😊
Its true he is very calm about it, I think he is still realizing what he did :) ahahaha
Hello, my name is Alexandra and I am from Melbourne Australia. I wanted to reach out to say how much I enjoy watching your videos about life in your village, the French Riviera and the beautiful renovations you have made to your stunning home. My partner and I will visit the French Riveria this summer and we have now decided to stay in Menton as it looks like a perfect place to be. Thank you! ❤😊
This is fantastic!! An amazing time for you in Menton and everywhere around!!!
Bring lots of money because the tourist tax is 10aud per person per day.
@@frenchvibes7604 Thank you so much! We cannot wait! ❤️
This was such a great home renovation, and the work Chris did is really top of the line. I love how every space was built by Chris and really looks original…like the staircase and the rock area with the sky view! This turned out so nice and glad Chris could take off to just work on it and get it done faster to rent out…👍💕🇺🇸🙏😊
Chris is reading your beautiful comments! Thank you so much! :)
Chris seems so talented and for the two of you to be able to work on such a large project and not kill each other 😂😂is just a testament to your relationship. You guys are an awesome couple. 🥰
Thank you 🤣😅
Imagine those lives hundreds and hundreds of years ago! Wow what a magnificent transformation! 👏🏻🤩🥂
All the work involved. You are both so amazing but Chris , what a craftsman. That wall of rock with the lovely old urn or pot and the little steps are so unique and very ancient. I hope this year gives you all relief and rest. Coming home to such a beautiful home must be so rewarding. Carent wait to see what you get up to this year. ❤❤❤❤
The feature wall with the skylight is simply breathtaking! It goes you glimpse into the past!
Oh la la!! That natural stone wall with the sky light…absolutely beautiful!! Great job!
Amazing job! You and Chris put the home renovation shows on TV to shame. I love your authenticity!
Chris done a beautiful Job- therefore he is the man. 😊 But your decorations and interior design is the ultimate finish.
You are both a power couple - and you did wonders. 🕊️🌿💚🌿🕊️
Chris is obviously a skilled artisan/craftsman. The amount of work and labor with beautiful results. Thank you again for sharing your story.
❤❤❤
I loved your renovation video and the house is just beautiful and so unique. So happy you kept that rock wall and the skylight lets the sunlight flood in which makes it look magnificent. Chris is a master builder with an incredible vision. Bravo.👌🏚
I really like how you chose to make the stairs a focal point with the windows. Such a beautiful job and also a work of art!
Firstly, Chris is an absolute magician! Well done, sir, bravo!🎉👏👏👏👏👏 secondly, I think that’s the most words I’ve ever heard him say L O L. The end with the interview was absolutely wonderful. Well done both of you.❤❤
Oh my goodness! Chris is an artist! I cannot imagine the work involved to make such a beautiful apartment.
Your house and apartment are absolutely beautiful. Chris you’re a superstar. All the hard work has been worth it, looks incredible. Love all the giggles at the end of your video, you are both so lovely and talented. You should be very proud of yourselves . ❤
Thank you :):):)
You gave the whole dilapidated house a brand new look. No one would even say that this was an old house. You changed the dilapidated house so much that you decorated it like a bride.😊❤
It's so nice to see your house l stay in a 130yr old house It's a family owned from generations but one thing l must say l have tough time maintaining the house
Wow what an amazing transformation! From the initial vision to the hard work involved removing the rubbish and then onto the detailed work of the electrics and design of such beautiful and workable spaces! I was so impressed with the transformation in the place where there was a tree initially to a covered, airy, light filled and beautiful space! I also noticed the making of an indoor window in an area off this space to let the light shine through. All the work Chris did! I can’t even imagine it! And the urn too. Thoughtful details. What a lucky person or couple to get to rent this beautifully designed home with incredible views! Chris is a very talented man! May you both always be blessed with the nicest people renting your space! ❤
Yes, may you both be blessed. This was quite an investment - both of financial resources and labor. May it have the most benevolent outcome for your lives. May God bless your hands, Chris. You deserve to put that king's crown from the last video on your head.!! 💙
@@susang1925 ahaha yes I should kept it for Chris :):):) Thank you so much! You are so kind!!
@maryab222 Thank you! Exactly, there are an inside window, that was an important thing for Chris:) Thank you for your warm words:)
Hi. Grannie Cyndy from South Australia here again. Just watched the delightful last bit of your video. Aselya, your explanation about airbnb made sense. And perhaps you can consider it later. But in time you may find that history lovers like me, a 72 year-old lady, would just love to spend winter months wandering around your beautiful village. If I could afford it I most certainly would!! Yes please!! Too old for skiing or for bikinis. But bring my paint set and sketching stuff and I would be so inspired. Thankyou so much for saving a historical place.
Bless you Chris for your creativity and your hard work as well as your smiles and love of your family. You are all truly a blessing. 💖
What a beautiful home you two have made for your family! Thank you for sharing your life and producing such wonderful videos.
What a superb video. Chris you are a super man and a fantastic renovator. Both of you have such vision and your dedication for perfection outstanding. I loved the last section of this video. Your sense of humour and love for each other and your beautiful son uplifting. Thank you so very much for the joy you bring. So refreshing. Bisous
Chris deserves a BIG award and a long vacation...🏆🥇🥇🥇🏆
you do a miracle God bless you
золотые руки у вашего мужа ,браво
You have made huge work! Great!👍👏👏
Chris should be really proud of himself! You guys smile and look so happy
❤❤de la mine și pisicuța mea Șurubița de aproape 16 anișori, sunteți excepționali!
So superb!! Unbelievable-I can’t believe that he did it all-magnificent job Chris and Aselya!!! It is so great to see-thank you for sharing this video!! ❤
As if your apartement renovations wasn't enough. You renovated 1 more apartement!! I can understand Chris had enough of it😅. I hope you get it furnitured and rent out so you start getting back all you put into it. Thank you for your open heart sharing❤So beatyful renovation.
Wow! That was amazing!! You really kept that a great secret all those months! I’m so impressed with how Chris did all that hard work and transformed the apartment so beautifully! He is a very talented person! Congratulations!! I will book the place when you make it an Airbnb!! ❤
Hello! Oh it was hard to talk about it during the process ahahah:) Now we realized it a little bit :) Thank you so much!
Ayselya, what is your profession beside you are cool in video production & renovation.
Congratulations on such a beautiful space. I don't underestimate the hard work that has gone into both parts of the project. Now enjoy!
Wow what an amazing renovation project of the whole house you make a great team and should be so proud. I did something similar when I was in my 30's so I know the sacrifices you have to make...bravo 😊
Hello, thank you so much for saying this! And congratulations on your project accomplished in the past! :)
👏 Congratulations, Chris, on a fantastic renovation job Beautiful stone work! I admire the many talents you both have and how hard you work. You are an extraordinary family with the most adorable son! Loved the video! Wishing you more happy times this year
❤👪❤
Wow, what an amazing renovation, I remember when you bought that house, love it, love it!! Your husband worked hard but it was payed off. Best decision to keep the rock wall, it looks spectacular. Congrats for your renovated house, great job!! The views are beautiful, I am still in shocked with renovation
Thank you so much!!!
Wow, so beautifully done❤ Incredible job! France should be paying you guys through tax credits for restoring so beautifully an abandoned space. That is truly a service to the village. Thank you for sharing your sweet spaces with us! Love your vibes.
❤❤❤
Hello from sunny Clearwater, Florida! I have just discovered your channel and I am blown away by how hard Chris has worked to get that renovation done in less than a year! It took a contractor about 7 months to renovate my daughter’s bathroom (here in FL)! Chris did a fabulous job and especially the staircase with the rock wall! It is stunning! God bless you and know that you picked up one more subscriber today.❤️
This year, my goal was to read a bunch of novels set in France just to feel like I am there. But after finding your channel, I just feel like I got exactly what I needed from your amazing videos. Thank you for taking the time to give us such beautiful and relaxing shots of your everyday life. Sending you and your family lots of love from California! ❤
You have done a wonderful job. It is so adorable how your little son notices and appreciates everything like a grown person. (Il est une vieille âme.) 💐😇
That’s amazing! What a transformation, I love the rock wall area! 😍
I hope you prosper from all of your hard work 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Chris is so talented in fact you both are. You've done a beautiful job and you should be proud of your self.
Bonjour, Aselya ! Merci beaucoup d'avoir partagé ce procès merveilleux et inspirant avec nous. J'espère que Chris peut se reposer suffisamment après avoir fait autant de travail. C'est incroyable.🙂
Bonjour, merci beaucoup!:) C'est vrai qu'il faut qu'il se repose en peu plus :)
Wow! Incredible journey!!
You are an Amazing couple to support each other! Chris has vision!😎
Transformation of the rock walls to modern white walls w/ electricity!!
The removing of the tree & garbage transformed to a beautiful area! Wow!
Thank you for interview w/ all the laughter!merci🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

OH MY GOODNESS!!! CHRIS IS SO TALENTED IN RECREATING THIS ANCIENT STRUCTURE. I AM FLABERGASTED, AMAZED AT HIS BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION OF THIS AREA.

God bless you for a great patient, loving, talented husband!
Great credit to Chris, he’s done amazing job!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 beautiful place!!!!!!!
You and Chris are artists, each in different fields ! You are so beautiful, nice, and wonderful couple❤
I hope France recognizes you and Chris as a national treasure. Also I am ready to reserve my stay at your future Airbnb when it becomes available! 🤗
Gorgeous! Chris did such an amazing job, and how awesome the entrance can be on a different street even so that the properties are different homes. Wishing you a wonderful tenant. Blessing for your lovely family in 2024 💞
Wow, you two were very brave to tackle such a huge job‼️😀👏👏👏It turned out beautiful and Chris is an amazing carpenter, like Jesus Christ❣️God bless you three❣️🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️👫👦
I get that, I have to gut a bathtub to a shower & Airbnb is a tone of work people seldom speak about. Furnishing, cleaning, supplies, linens, breakages, on & on. What a gorgeous design to Chris!! Greets from Florida! Let's flip flop for vacations together. I am in the Gulf of Mexico area, very gorgeous here also! Bravo on your creations!! ❤❤❤

Your videos always make me smile, but I actually laughed out loud viewing your conversation with Chris
Dear Aselya you and Matt has a magician magic man with golden arms hands Chris.. Many love and greetings to all of you Mica 🙂🐕🐾🌻
Chris is one man team! That was no small feat and am so sure your family will reap the benefits in the long term!
This was amazing to watch!!! Blessings to you and your sweet family! Chris is an incredible craftsman, and I'm amazed at how fast it was put it together. The interior medieval staircase area was PERFECTION! Everything turned out so crisp and clean. What a labor of LOVE!
Wow ,brak mi słów. Pięknie, ogrom pracy. Chętnie odwiedzę Menton i wasz apartament.
Aselya and Chris!!!!! AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!! We never knew about this part of the renovation! It came out beautifully...it's all just fantastic, you two. Congratulations but so sorry about the tax burden, though. I know I would have NEVER had the vision that you guys did...I LOVE the wall of natural stone/ledge. It's perfect. So, so much hard work. And thank you for leaving in the "bloopers" at the end of the video; hilarious! Fun to see you laugh together. Thank you so, so much for sharing this story. Hugs to you ALL from chilly Maine, USA. 💕
I think the fact you took on this immense project and completed it in 9mo with only 1 person working on it is just incredible! You did an amazing job, WOW so nice, when I saw the beautiful staircase first thing came to my mind is some kind of water feature in their or on the rock would be amazing. You could do it without plumbing just a recirculating pump and vessil(s? of some sort with plants hanging too it would be beautiful addidion. Chris should be proud of his work, so many tedious steps must have been involved to get it done. Your taste in tile and fixtures etc and the way the staircases were done really tastefully designed, so airy and light for a basement unit.
What a hard working, talented man Chris is. You have a beautiful, happy family. I wish you much success with the apatment. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Wow, this is an amazing renovation! I can’t believe he did everything in just 9 months ( my husband took 8 years to renovate one small bathroom 😢) Chris is very talented and hard working man! Adelgazar, I really enjoy your channel, you do a beautiful job! Claudia
Your house is very cozy and has everything. You and your husband are very talented. He is practical and has built a lot. It is a good opportunity. 🤗
SO beautiful! Especially the two of you laughing together at the end. 💞
This was wonderful to watch Chris your a genius...how beautiful!! Loved the hugs and kisses, your a loving family, gratitude is priceless....hugs from America
What an amazingly talented and inventive master ! Vision itself is a wonder, but to do all that by himself! Admiration and respect ! Wishing the family happiness !!!
Wow! Amazing! What an gifted carpenter and jewel of husband you have in Chris! This is an incredible transformation and I am so happy to have found your channel. It is inspiring and wonderful to know one can always make lemonade when presented with a lemon. 🤩❤🙏🏼
This is the best part of all. Mix skills builder, true love story and family devotion. Aselya you did it - job well done, salut to you all ❤
I love your videos. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who gets her hands and projects without really thinking about who to avoid accidents and mishaps.
Miraculous!! What an incredible job Chris did!! You must be very proud!! Splendid!
