Always enjoy your episodes. I don’t know how to describe this but my wife and I rode our bikes from Paris to MontSt Michel and then all of Brittany and down to Biarritz and across the Pyrenees to Perpignan and then to Marseille, !981 4 months. Camped every night, Ate at only local places and realized that we could be together for a long time Every village had.a character of its own . And we are 42 yrs later still together and about to spend a few months in La Palme, Languedoc and Eygalieres in Provence with my family and will explore every village .
More, more, I say. These truly charming places to live/visit/preserve remind us of what beauty truly is. You are living a life many of us, myself included, can only dream of…🇫🇷
I love Béhuard! I had my first communion there (a million years ago...) There are so many cute villages by the Loire around Saumur as well (Montsoreau, Candes Saint-Martin, etc...)
I know you live un Maine et Loire like me but I'm still surprised in each video : "mais c'est tout près de chez moi !!". I'd be so pleased to meet you some day ! I love Behuard too. Great video.
*Wonderful, so charming...when people coming from abroad decide to settle in small cities rather than Paris, Lyon or Marseille... it's a shame for us, French people, who struggle to leave these big cities. Your quality of life must be really better.* 🥰👍🏼
Great video Diane. This looks like a lovely village. We stayed with friends in Beaugency, also on the Loire, and it was similar. Small, quaint, and delicious at every turn. Please consider doing a video about pools and pool clubs in France. My husband and I are staying in Nice for Feb and March 2024 and want to find a pool for exercise. I've read some interesting things, very different from the US...coed changing rooms for example. One woman said that a gentleman right next to her pulled the waistband of his trunks out so water from the communal shower tap could wash his, ahem...stuff...lol. I would have died! I would not know if it was normal or if he was a pervert. I think it may be a minefield.
"a gentleman right next to her pulled the waistband of his trunks out so water from the communal shower tap could wash his, ahem...stuff". In France like everywhere else, decent people don't do that.
So glad you enjoyed it! For now, check out some of my older walks if you scroll back to my videos from before the pandemic. I did some fun live walks ;-)
I'll have to look that village up! If you have time, check out some of my older live walks on the channel. I've done La Rochelle, Angers, and a bunch more!
Diane, enjoyed this tour so much! Having lived in both the southwest and in Provence, I still feel that the charm of that section of the Loire Valley beats them both for me. It sure is disconcerting though to see the river so low.
Merci Diane. So good to see you again. What a lovely little town. I’ll be arriving in Paris on September 14, 2023, spending 5 days in Saint Malo followed by 5 days in Angers arriving September 24. It would be lovely if I would be able to meet Tom and You. A bientot. Josef.
So nice! And I didn't know you live in Maine et Loire, I'm actually planning to move to that area next year. It would be nice to see more of these kinds of videos if you ever have time. Have a great week and stay well 🌻
Dans le genre petit village plein de charme, connaissez-vous Grez-Neuville, sur la Mayenne, à 20 km au nord-ouest d'Angers ? C'est vrai que Béhuard a un cachet très particulier, blotti sur son île...
So is there a drought going on? Why is the river so incredibly low? It reminds me of where I live in Southern California seeing reservoirs, lakes and rivers incredibly reduced in water volume.
Always enjoy your episodes.

France is indeed charming and beautiful as I lived there many years ago.
Come to think of it, so is Diane! 😊
Vive la France et vive Diane. 🇫🇷
Thank you Diane for showing us this amazing part of france, enjoyed every second of it 😂.
You're welcome!

It really is!

Absolutely gorgeous!
Sounds like an amazing trip!
Such a beautiful place! I love every minute of this video. Thank you Diane! ❤
Yay! I used to live in Savennières and was within walking distance of Béhuard. Used to love going for walks there. ♡
Such a great place to walk!
I really enjoyed this video. I hope you do more like this!
Check out my playlist titled "walks in French towns." I've done a whole bunch!

Oooh that one could go either way... would need more info

You are so welcome!

Nice video, congratulations ! J'ai hâte de voir celles que tu pourrais faire sur Orléans ou Montargis, par exemple...
Lovely! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful place with us. I really enjoyed learning about your favourite wine too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
More pretty places, please.
Mine is Monpazier, a medieval bastide in the Dordogne. Charming, quiet and peaceful. 🌟
I'll have to look that village up! If you have time, check out some of my older live walks on the channel. I've done La Rochelle, Angers, and a bunch more!
Ooh la la! SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you! I am like you- I hate hot humid weather! 60-70 degrees is perfect!
So beautiful, long to go there. ❤
I hope you get to visit one day soon!

There was a winter drought and with not a ton of rain and hot weather, it's just gotten worse. It's definitely seeing the effects of climate change.
I doubt the water is that low now [!] @@OuiInFrance
