Thrifting through Europe with Eurail // Pt1. FRANCE

Thanks to Eurail for making this dream slow travel journey come to life. Check out their variety of passes here: www.eurail.com
I don't think I'll ever get over this magic place. We had THE BEST time exploring these beautiful parts of France all while thrifting our little hearts out, cafe hopping, visiting iconic monuments, and just in general sipping in all the in between moments of travelling to new places.
This is both both mine & Darcy’s first time in Europe and we’re so excited to take you along the journey of what we discover along this slow travel adventure as we get the chance to check out some more off the beaten track spots all while travelling via rail.
In upcoming episodes of this series we'll be exploring Belgium, The Netherlands and The UK. Stay tuned :)

You NAILED the editing of this video. What a pleasure to watch and share this experience. Thank you 😊

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thank you so so much!! Truly makes my day hearing you enjoyed the edit 💘💘💘

[@EllenDocker]

@@TheEssentialsClub you killed it! Can not wait for more installments ❤️

[@EllaCharlotteJones]

Totally agree!

[@mellin3368]

Truly GASPED when I saw a new upload notification. As someone who is chronically anxious and uptight, your videos remind me of the kind of life I want and of how possible it is for me. As strange as it may sound, your Tasmania vlogs truly mean a lot to me and I return to them when I'm feeling overwhelmed. I'm also a fellow Aussie and want to thank you for consistently reinvigorating my love for this country I get to call home

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Stoppp 😭😭😭 this makes me so happy knowing you find comfort in the content I share. I try my best to put my heart and soul into everything, so am glad you’re connecting with it 🥰😘

[@fer.3012]

I love your channel and I’m planning on inter railing this summer, this series couldn’t have come on a better time. Wish you all the best!

[@meganhenderson7846]

this was so delightful and peaceful to watch! looking forward to the upcoming parts!

[@judithwortmann7460]

Loved it, so wonderful footage, can‘t imagine something more beautiful than exploring cities through Cafés and Vintage Shops. Thank you for taking us along ❤

[@TheEssentialsClub]

It was genuinely the trip of a lifetime. Filled up my cup doing everything I love while exploring new places!! 🤗

[@carolyngrotaers4454]

This is fabulous. I look forward to your next video. Especially you visiting Belgium. 😊

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Can’t wait to share our adventures there. We loved it!

[@amaindy]

LOVE to follow you Maddie through your adventures!! Looking forward to the Belgium vlogg 😍

[@ediesimone]

this was perfection, i’m obsessed 🤍

[@searchforhortense8251]

Oh dear,I'm so happy for you! Thank you for your video!

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Thank you so much 🥹

[@theresechiq]

Love it! exactly what i'd do when I travel, saving all the places esp the thrift shops/vintage stores ahead of time. I also used Eurail last 2021 when I explored Europe. Highly recommend it.

[@TheEssentialsClub]

So so handy isn’t it 🤗

[@hannahsmithandcity]

While you’re in the UK if you can make it to Edinburgh I think you would love it, definitely your kind of vibe ✨

[@-MEL16-A.O.C]

Hello as a french I'm so happy that you've tried all these awsome pastries (l'éclair au café is my favorite 😏😉) and truly enjoy how you spend these days between monuments coffee and thrifting 😜👍🙏🏼 Des bises du Sud de la France 😘

[@TheEssentialsClub]

We truly had the best time!! Can’t wait to get back and explore more later this year hopefully 🥰🥰

[@iris7824]

Vintage per kilo is a thing in multiple European countries! There are also companies that have pop up sales where you pay like €20 per kilo of clothes :)

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Such a great concept! We came across a bunch more on this trip elsewhere too 👏🏽

[@juliesaccocrafts]

Loved your video! Im a french living in Tassie, I have to say I miss french food so much, your video is not helping 🤤🤤 I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it though! I hope you didn't experience too much french rudeness 😅 Cant wait to see the rest of your euro trip!

[@TheEssentialsClub]

We actually had a lovely experience with the French people. Definitely stern and to the point at times, but all still very helpful 😊

[@juliesaccocrafts]

@@TheEssentialsClub I'm happy to hear that 🤗

[@fer.3012]

I can’t find the thrifting and vintage shopping app, how do you spell the name?

[@TheEssentialsClub]

I believe it was just spelt 'unique' and has a reddish square logo when searching for it on the App Store :)

[@tamarkimmons3417]

The UK is still in Europe, we only left the union.

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Oh sweet!! Noted for next time 😊
