I am glad the house was left with all those treasures. So many possibilities for the house and garden. I love marble topped furniture also. I just always loved some of the fancy French furniture. My favorite is Louis XV furniture. That is a lovely B&B
The place you stayed is gorgeous! Those beams upstairs! I love!!! I can picture your backyard when it's done, and I know it will be beautiful. Wasn't it nice of those that were there before to have left you with so many treasures and useful things. I'm so happy for you!😊
It was nice to see a beautifully restored home in France. If you ever watched any of the exploring channels, like Explomo, it is heartbreaking to see all the abandoned mansions and castles in France and throughout the world that are left to decay with all the furnishings intact, along with amazing antiques, photos and personal belongings left behind. It's a waste of resources but I imagine heirs might not have the means or desire to keep them up and most people don't like the dark, elaborately carved styles from back then. Still, they are historic and the workmanship can't be found any more. Your new home is going to be beautiful and I love the exposed beams. That small table with the little draw placed down low is charming and you can do a lot with what was left behind. Looking forward to seeing what you do in the future and appreciate you sharing.
Thanks so much. My heart breaks for the waste! The history and the value both historically, culturally and financially. I understand the cost of the upkeep etc but to leave them to ruin is a crime. All too often the newer generations don’t see the true value till things are gone. ☹️ so very sad. The dream was always a chateau of my own but our French house is so beautiful we can’t wait to get started 👍❤️🤗
Well I’m glad to know that me and my husband are not the only people that don’t downsize as they get older 😂!! No community living for me … 😂 !! The original owners, the collectors that have once owned and cherished those possessions would be so happy that a person like you that will also love and cherish those items have taken possession of them !! I can see in minds eye, how gorgeous it’s all gonna be again !! ❤I noticed a Rosmund Pilchner book on the shelf .. you will love her books if you have not discovered her before .. English country sides etc…. Just lovely sweet books!
How wonderful Lyndsey great congratulations to you all people have probably suggested this already.....or you already know you must check every page of any of the books for money and personal letters I know what you're thinking of no others have lived here before us but I'm letting you know it's happened to me I got some old books and I never checked until a friend gave me a little advice and sure enough I found something only a little enough for a thrift shop visit but a nice surprise.sending kind regards I'm truly excited for you good luck with finding all your treasure's blessings from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💗
What wonderful treasures you have to work with! Your grounds are lovely and I’m looking forward to your journey. The bed and breakfast is amazing. You can tell the property is a well loved home. I miss France. I hope to return soon. 💓
i do understand uneven old house! LOL and we even have to use bits of wood under legs to make them level. i loved those 3D pictures- that was something new for me! i had never seen anything like that.
and Mrs t Lovely video thank you for sharing. One agin I spotted some fabric that I have as a duvet set that you have covered on the little ottoman, Its s lovely duckegg blue colour with pretty pink and red birds on also a bedside table has beeen covered in it I noticed so funny to see it in another country . Amazed what furniture you have to work with so lucky,
Oh this was lovely to see everything! It’s amazing all the stuff that was left! So many lovely places to see, and where you stayed was gorgeous with such lovely hosts!
Lynsey, the rooms are perfect. Just knowing that you dont have to bring all furniture & what you do need you have great places to get them. You kept saying the word jeets. I'm not sure of spelling. What is that mean & how is it spelled?😂 Those prints on the wall that fabric was added to are beautiful. I have an antique piece. Those are great! Bed & breakfast was just as lovely.🩷
Oh I don’t know if you’ve already mentioned it and I miss the video. Will this be your permanent home and do you speak the language? So are those openings in the wall windows or just like a breezeway to let air in
We have a 5 year plan, we want to Reno the gites (holiday rentals) and do a few months in the winter and the same in the summer, we are learning the language we both know the basics. The house and the gites where built in the early 1800’s and the little openings are indeed windows (apparently lots of the farmhouses have them). That’s the plan as it stands now. ☺️
It’s like a sleeping beauty.xxx🐝🐝🐝
You absolutely nailed it 👍
So many treasures! I’m so envious of your moving to France!
I wish I could go full time now 😄
I just can’t get enough of the walk through videos in France! This place was meant for you.
We can’t wait to get started
WoW...just gorgeous...Im so jealous... Enjoy it all!- Jennifer
Thanks so much! Jennifer 😊
Excited for you! What an adventure ❤

Your home is wonderful. Can't wait for more. I am in love with that B&B. Exquisite!❤
Thanks, Honestly it was a little slice of heaven in the madness and heat 🥵😣❤️
I am glad the house was left with all those treasures. So many possibilities for the house and garden. I love marble topped furniture also. I just always loved some of the fancy French furniture. My favorite is Louis XV furniture. That is a lovely B&B

Oh thanks so much, can’t wait to get back 😊🇫🇷
So glad you found Emmaus. It’s my favourite second hand shop in France 🇫🇷
Oh it was brilliant, I wanted so much stuff 👍🤗

I miss France. I hope to return soon. 💓
Thank you so much! Come visit 🤗
i do understand uneven old house! LOL and we even have to use bits of wood under legs to make them level. i loved those 3D pictures- that was something new for me! i had never seen anything like that.
It’s certainly an adventure living in a century home 🤣🏚️thanks for watching 🤗

Isn’t it funny! That doesn’t happen very often. I do love the pattern it’s beautiful. I think it must be a designer piece.
You make me want to go to France for the furniture alone!
Absolutely! And the prices ……wow
I'm so envious because I would love to live in France. Best of luck with your new home.
Meeeee tooooooo. I want to be doing what you’re doing. But in the meantime I’ll wish you the best so I don’t screw up my karma 😅
Thanks so much, it’s been a dream for a long time 😊🇫🇷
Loved this one Lyndsey, thanks for sharing your fabulous first experiences as homeowner's en France 🍾🥂 💕
Thanks so much 🥂
Oh this was lovely to see everything! It’s amazing all the stuff that was left! So many lovely places to see, and where you stayed was gorgeous with such lovely hosts!
I do believe things happen for a reason, and meeting Jess and Joanna was absolutely perfect timing (they where so helpful and kind) 🙏🥰
I have furnishings in the same material that’s in your blanket box, I think it was from the range.xxx🐝🐝🐝
It’s so pretty ❤️ I love it
I have the small solid green pot in the window ledge.xxx🐝🐝🐝
So many little treasures I have just glimpsed at. 😊
I have an old house thats slightly wonky will be trolling you for ideas! I love yours tyle!
Apparently I only buy and live in slightly wonky houses 🤪

Thanks so much. The gites are what the French call the holiday rental homes. We have two of them, and one main house. 😊
