    Was touched by the life lesson spoken throughout the video. Not just amazing views but the deeper reasons for travel and why contrast is necessary for contentment. Nicely done!

    Sold! I want to visit Normandy! You guys nailed it not only showing different contrasts in life, but in your takes of Normandy. May I mentioned that I’m in love with Hector! Loved that playful part with Gaston and Hector’s insistence on “me first . . . and last”. Looking forward to having more adventures through your eyes!

    Wonderful, positive vibes in this video. You guys have a very open, humble and intelligent attitude. Your sandwiches look great - and I agree: adding butter is definitely a must! Welcome to France, guys. PS: I think I just fell in love with Hector… 😀

      la multiplication des chaines parlant de la vie en France pour des expatriés Américains. Si vous avez regardé "par hasard" une vidéo sur le sujet, il est fort probable que l'algorythme vous propose tout d'abord des vidéos de la même chaine puis sur le même sujet. Et beaucoup d'Américains parlent des différences entre la vie en France/en Europe et la vie aux USA, en particulier des éléments censés nous définir (système de santé, grêve, vacances/congés, long repas, etc) et donc, si vous vous êtes intéressé à cela, par la bande, c'est proposé à différentes sauces dans les suggestions de l'algorythme. Une fois que vous regardez la vidéo d'un Américain en France abordant un de ces sujets, d'autres vidéos d'Américains en France seront proposées. Ils retiennent ussi les mots clé de vos recherches, tant dans la barre YT que celle de google
      et le fait que l'algorythme promeut les tendences à la mode... allez savoir, c'est la période des commémorations du débarquement en Normandie, peut-être que YT fait la promo de tout ce qui touche de près ou de loin à la Normandie

      Oh welcome to the channel! :) We stayed in a small town outside of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue. I totally agree about the supermarkets! It's always fascinating to see what goodies different countries have.

    I'm glad that you moved to France. I'm proud to be French. I like USA for all the good one could find there. Therefore, I'm sure you could find safe and quiet places in USA too.
    No?
