  • Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you a quick story about how we moved to France and started our life here. Then we figured out how to buy an apartment in Menton. So we renovate an old apartment in very beautiful French house from Belle Époque, I have some photos and videos to share.
    Hope you will enjoy watching it🤗

Respect to you that also do your part in renovating each project. 20 years ago, we also bought a house and renovated it. The things we were able to do ourselves...! I told my husband I don't think my body can take huge renovations anymore. Got older and unfit...😊
