Merry Christmas Janice! I love the wallpaper in the living room it is so beautiful. Your velvet Xmas dress is very pretty. The apartment tour after the renovation is such a treat. Thank you for sharing the tour of your home with us.
Bonjour. Another excellent video, Janice. You are an inspiration!! We finally sold our Portland condo and arrived in Lisbon on the 15th. We leave for Toulon this morning by train after enjoying the Marseille port for a few days. We'll be in Perpignan for January with plans to explore France for our next apartment home. While in Lisbon, we met a retired couple from Paris who invited us to see Paris. We may visit Paris by train in February. So many options! France is amazing. Merci. Dean et Cindy
Lovely large apt, you would never get that in Paris. Wishing you a wonderful Merry Christmas and a fabulous new year. So kind of you to open your phone to people who are very sad this time of year. Enjoy your daughter and London…… 🩷🎄🤗🇨🇦
First one here today! I've been looking forward to this & watch all the ones I see on FB. Merry Christmas Janice, I'm so happy your little place has come together & you get to spend time with your daughter!
Joyeux Noel et bonne année, Janice. Love the transformation of your apartment, very cozy. Such a beautiful holiday offering to others to gather together and share a meal. I am excited to experience the holiday season in 2025 in France. I move in January. Have a great trip to London. Julie
Happy Holidays! I like the idea of moving the mirror over to the wider wall & the pretty daisies to the other.....also at the beginning of your video you have an electric fireplace...great idea for warmth & aesthetics....Your velvet dress is gorgeous!...by the time you see this comment - you will be with your daughter ...I'm 'heading over to that video now.....That will be the MOST of what I miss in the states when I get over there: my 3 girls & my grandbaby....but thank goodness for FT!
Hello Janice, from Wisconsin. We are supposed to get more snow and freezing drizzle tonight. So will enjoy escaping to your tour. I love your beautiful dress, and that wonderful wallpaper behind you. I just loved seeing your apartment. I have a small one too. I loved seeing your fur babies. Your kitty is so pretty, and your sweet little dog. Merry Christmas to you and your daughter. Be safe and all my best wishes.
Merry Christmas, Janice! Thanks for your kind and heartfelt words. I’m spending my last Christmas alone in NYC before moving to Switzerland on the 28th. It’s a very emotional time for me and for many others and your acknowledgement of that means a lot ❤❤❤ have a great time with your daughter!
Thank you so much, Janice for your kind and caring words. I hope you had a great time in London with your daughter. My daughter is 20 and her dad told us a few days ago he will be moving to Europe. His gf who lives there is pregnant. This came as quite a shock to both of us. My daughter is close to him and will miss him terribly. Wish he could have held the news until after the holiday. It's going to be a tough one for us. Please keep us in your prayers.
Goodness, I’m so sorry. That is tough 😢. Hope you find joy in the things that are right in your world. What a blessing to have a daughter (I have 3 sons, no sisters & only male cousins) so a daughter is a glorious blessing. Prayers for you both 🙏🏼
Merry Christmas, Janice :) .... have a wonderful time in London with your daughter & boyfriend! You've adapted so well to your new life in France ~ very happy for you!
Thank you so much for the updated apartment tour. I’m sure you had a wonderful trip to London and a great time was had by all. Joyeaux Noel, Janice! 🙏🎄😘
You're so sweet, Janice, God bless you. And sweet is your apartment too. Love the wall paper and that blue wood wall. And your tenderness with Max and wonderful Miss Kitty. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Janice. So nice you have a landlord that lets you decorate your personal space to suit you. I had a lot of landlords who let me do whatever I wanted to do. I made the living spaces better than when I moved in and all of the landlords appreciated it. Enjoy! Renee` USA
Loved it, Janice. Thank you so much !! Hope you have a wonderful trip to London and have a good time with your daughter! 🥰 Btw, your dress is so beautiful!!
I hope you have the very best time with your daughter. Christmas really stresses me out. This year it will be be just three of us. I have a new tradition now that the house has less little ones. I lay my Christmas table right after Thanksgiving. We don't use the dining room much and it makes me so happy to see it set perfectly all month. We may take a bike ride or just hang out. I'm not making a big meal, just a cozy dinner with my husband and grandson. Stay safe in the city. Big hugs from California. XO Renee
A very Happy Christmas to you and your family Janice,your kitty and max are beautiful,your wall feature is beautiful,You are very kind to offer to support people who may be grieving or lonely very compassionate and truly in the christmas spirit.Thats what christmas should be about isn't it,enjoy your christmas party it sounds like it will be a lot of fun💖💖🎄🎄🎄
Janice just you offering your time helps warm my broken heart this year. I am wishing you the best this holiday season. And Happy New Year to you, kitty and of course sweet Max!❤
Absolutely luuv what you have done with your apartment. Remember when you first started here. It really looks cozy and very much you. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and all the very best for the New Year. Looking forward to the new year and new videos from you. 🎄🎁
❤❤❤❤❤Lovely home Janice! So cosy, so normal ... that's why is so beautiful and pretty and cosy to my heart, it looks like mine .... simple! Thank you so much ...all the best .... Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas Janice, Max, Miss Kitty and all your family! Thank you for sharing your apartment updates. You are making wonderful choices and it looks very cozy!
Thank you for telling us when your videos are now coming out janice as I only saw your video come up a minute ago, I really enjoyed you chatting away, have a great time with your daughter in London and your visitors on Christmas day 😀❤ I really look forward to your videos ,merry Christmas to and and your daughter ❤❤
Your holiday party issue with guests versus home size reminded me of an episode of "As Time Goes By". The (wonderful!) Dame Judith Dench was discussing holding an even in their home with her husband, the late (and also wonderful) Geoffrey Palmer. Ms. Bench worked out the footage, of course everyone would be packed like sardines, though she didn't have that perception. And Lionel, irrascible bloke that he was, had social distancing down to an art loooong before COVID. Hope you have a wonderful holiday.
Merry Christmas Janice. I’m so happy you get to spend the holidays with your daughter and enjoy the holidays with friends and family. Love your videos. They inspire me and help me remember there are some really good people out there in this world. Have a wonderful holiday!
Hi Janice yes this time of the year can be challenging for many. I miss my dad and my mom is at the ER now to determine what’s happening with her right eye vision loss that recently happened. Watching your videos helps comfort me and provide much needed calmness. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you!
Merry Cristmas!!! Your home is looking like a cozy home with your identity, and we love it! ❤ Have a blessed Christmas with your daughter and loved ones! Warm regards, from South Africa
Bonjour Janice, I'm a subscriber from your early days. So happy to see all the great plans working out for you. 😊 We're also expats and our only regret is not doing it sooner! But every day is a dream, lots of challenges but still a dream and it keeps us young to learn languages and keep an open mind all the time ✨ Max and Kitty remind me of all the joy from past pets. We have one 🐱now. Maybe another dog lies in the future. I agree with you to hold off from the rug. More pet 💦 memories 😅 A bientôt! 💙
With five dogs and we just had puppies😊 I have given up on rugs completely! I now use some cheap blankets that I can wash but the dog still has something to lie on. Love your apartment 😊💜
That is such a heartfelt and generous offer to speak to others who may be in need during this time of year. When I lived in a Manhattan studio I would often have parties with 20 people so kudos to you and you are right not to worry. A lot of people would rather stand than sit plus there is a lot of moving around. Never had a problem. Just some apt. suggestions for whatever they are worth. 1. I would put that nice comfortable living room chair at an angle facing out rather than straight. 2. Paint that wooden chair in the small room 3. If you can afford it...perhaps at a brocante.... find 2 nice marble top round tables to replace the 2 tables in your living room. What a lovely heartfelt and generous offer to speak to others who may be in need during this time of year. 🎄Joyeux Noel ! and have a wonderful time with your family and friends on Christmas day.
Thank you for the tip and I certainly will take you up on the chair but it’s just there because I have company coming in. It goes back to utility room once company leaves and I’ll look into something maybe looking for the living room but I’m really wanting to feel cozy no t fancy. Thank you for your very very kind words.
I love what you’ve done with your apartment! For your bedroom ,maybe dress your bed and accents in your room with a color that goes with the pink walls such as a dark green or a scarlet red. Nevertheless I still love what you’ve done with your bedroom. Enjoy your visit with your daughter! Happy Holidays!❤
I thought the sales are in June, that's when I was there and shopped sales. Holidays are horrible for me as I am an only child of 2 divorced parents who won't spend holidays together so I have to split the holidays between them.
Janice, I think you need to declutter that room with catbed! Also, with all the brocantes where are some nice wood pieces? Headboard? I'm not seeing cohesion. I think you can make a few changes❤️
I just saw your video with your daughter and she is so impish. She is absolutely cute beyond belief and she must have been a doll to raise, lthough I bet she kept you on your toes. Well I'm living in Texas and I've been here about 15 years between Austin and a small town called Temple and I still have visions&-not sugar plum fairies&- but actually of France in my minds eye. I minored in French and I went down to France to " fair la vendage". That was quite nice. If you have any ideas how you could help a fellow Texan who though I'm more recently here in Texas, I am a Daughter of the Texas Republic!! My mom's German ancestors came here in 1840 and in San Antonio there's .a street named for them&-WALZEM STREET. Anything you could tell me that might help me would be great and actually I would lo❤ve to be your neighbor. I can see that you have that joie de vivre which most Americans do not have and yet you have also that down-home Texas quality which I adore. Anyway I hope you had a Joyous Noel and will have a very happy New Year 2025🎉
Enjoy your daughter and her boyfriend. Have a great Christmas dinner and time together . Big day for us is christmas eve...thats the evening for the , well mostly the kids...presents are opening. For me as a kid, aftet x-mas eve, cristmas was over 😂 🎅🤶🎅
Dear Janice, my husband and I have adored your channel from the beginning…. We have two questions as we are applying for a visa… 1) did you tell Visa you wanted to retire in France or just visit? 2) why did you have to go back and apply again? Thank you for your channel. Merry Christmas! 🎄♥️
I did not make it clear that I wanted to retire. I was too scared to do so because I was just unaware of how they would view it. You can now sign a paper saying you want to retire. I did this the second time. The reason I had to go back the first time was just a fluke that I was refused a long term but I got it the next time because I told her I wanted to retire. If you join my community, you can request an e-book that will give you some information and please remember a lot of this information changes from year to year you still have to do research. Please feel free to call me at any time or email me.
Janis that dress is gorgeous. Burgundy is a color I love for the holidays. Sadly, I had to have my wee 17 year old Chihuahua put to sleep three weeks ago due to her cancer & dementia diminishing her quality of life. She was my travel buddy and lived in 3 different countries with me. Before her my Golden Retriever lived 18.5 years. So for the past 32+ years those two dogs filled my life and I never used a flea tablet except 3x when traveling pet certificates demanded the Vet administer it. I kept them flea and worm free using (DE) Diatomaceous Earth. I could purchase a years supply on Amazon or a farmers supply shop for less that 20.00. If you purchase some make sure you get the one that is FOOD grade and made for animals. Farmers use this in their livestock's food. I used to sprinkle a little onto my dogs breakfast. You could use it one both your pets if you so chose to. I love your pink bedroom as mine is pink also.😉 I am very excited to explore France soon myself and those flea markets are my idea of happiness. So far, I've lived all over the US in many states for 50+ years. A bit in Mexico and returned to my country of origin (Scotland) 6 years ago. I will be 66 in just a few weeks and this damp, rainy weather is not pleasant for my health. I am planning on heading down to France for the allotted 90 day visitation Brits are allowed and seeing if I can find a location that I like. My understanding is that I will need to return to the UK and apply for my retirement visa from the embassy here. Then return in another 90 days. I'm quite excited as for more years than I can remember I always said I want to live along the Mediterranean coast. However, I am also looking in Paris, your area not coastal obviously and a couple of places further south. I hope to get settled and adopt another fur baby after my heart heals from losing my recent dog. Not knowing the language has kept me back in the past but after living in MX alone with my dog I know I can do this. I will try and maneuver French once I get my visa confirmed for France. Was the first years long term as bothersome as the renewals?Thank you for sharing your videos and may your New Year be filled with Love & Blessings. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words and just let me say how sorry I am about your loss. I know that’s how I felt after Buster passed away. I was so glad that I already purchased Max here in In France because I just can’t stand the thought of not having an animal.
@@JaniceInFrance My first dog as a child was a Bernese Mt Dog named Buster 😅 Yes, as soon as I get settled I will have to have another one. To me a house is not a home without one.
Hey there Janice, Max looks adorable with his new do!! Also what is the "boyfriend" name? It made me laugh you don't use his name, 😂 How about making your Christmas party an " open house" between hours you choose ex: 5:00pm to 10:00pm or earlier in the day too. I remember my mom going to holiday open houses her friends had, they loved it. Everyone came when they wanted and left when they wanted. One year they all went carolling down the neighborhood. It's a nice thing to do. Enjoy your daughter and her boyfriend in England. Safe travels🌲🧑🎄💞
@JaniceInFrance You set the time by letting guests know ahead what they are, that way they don't show up all at once. It's okay, it was only a suggestion and it worked well. No worries hon 🌲

The reason I had to go back the first time was just a fluke that I was refused a long term but I got it the next time because I told her I wanted to retire. If you join my community, you can request an e-book that will give you some information and please remember a lot of this information changes from year to year you still have to do research. Please feel free to call me at any time or email me.

Hello Janice❤
Janis that dress is gorgeous. Burgundy is a color I love for the holidays.
Sadly, I had to have my wee 17 year old Chihuahua put to sleep three weeks ago due to her cancer & dementia diminishing her quality of life. She was my travel buddy and lived in 3 different countries with me. Before her my Golden Retriever lived 18.5 years. So for the past 32+ years those two dogs filled my life and I never used a flea tablet except 3x when traveling pet certificates demanded the Vet administer it. I kept them flea and worm free using (DE) Diatomaceous Earth. I could purchase a years supply on Amazon or a farmers supply shop for less that 20.00. If you purchase some make sure you get the one that is FOOD grade and made for animals. Farmers use this in their livestock's food. I used to sprinkle a little onto my dogs breakfast. You could use it one both your pets if you so chose to.
I love your pink bedroom as mine is pink also.😉 I am very excited to explore France soon myself and those flea markets are my idea of happiness. So far, I've lived all over the US in many states for 50+ years. A bit in Mexico and returned to my country of origin (Scotland) 6 years ago. I will be 66 in just a few weeks and this damp, rainy weather is not pleasant for my health. I am planning on heading down to France for the allotted 90 day visitation Brits are allowed and seeing if I can find a location that I like. My understanding is that I will need to return to the UK and apply for my retirement visa from the embassy here. Then return in another 90 days. I'm quite excited as for more years than I can remember I always said I want to live along the Mediterranean coast. However, I am also looking in Paris, your area not coastal obviously and a couple of places further south. I hope to get settled and adopt another fur baby after my heart heals from losing my recent dog. Not knowing the language has kept me back in the past but after living in MX alone with my dog I know I can do this. I will try and maneuver French once I get my visa confirmed for France. Was the first years long term as bothersome as the renewals?Thank you for sharing your videos and may your New Year be filled with Love & Blessings. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind words and just let me say how sorry I am about your loss. I know that’s how I felt after Buster passed away. I was so glad that I already purchased Max here in In France because I just can’t stand the thought of not having an animal.
@@JaniceInFrance My first dog as a child was a Bernese Mt Dog named Buster 😅 Yes, as soon as I get settled I will have to have another one. To me a house is not a home without one.
@ I agree
❤❤❤
Hey there Janice, Max looks adorable with his new do!! Also what is the "boyfriend" name? It made me laugh you don't use his name, 😂 How about making your Christmas party an " open house" between hours you choose ex: 5:00pm to 10:00pm or earlier in the day too. I remember my mom going to holiday open houses her friends had, they loved it. Everyone came when they wanted and left when they wanted. One year they all went carolling down the neighborhood. It's a nice thing to do. Enjoy your daughter and her boyfriend in England. Safe travels🌲🧑🎄💞
I think that’s a good idea, but I like to have a start time and finish.
@JaniceInFrance You set the time by letting guests know ahead what they are, that way they don't show up all at once. It's okay, it was only a suggestion and it worked well. No worries hon 🌲
@ I understand but I like us all together. If it is too small for my apartment;then 8ll do that next year, 😀♥️
Just bought the same pill here in Georgia- it was $75.
Omg
❤
Do u ever hear your neighbors? Is it true everyone is quiet at night ?
You might not realize it Janice.. but you are turning more and more Parisian in your attire and flare
I take that as a compliment
Your daughter doesn't like France?
No, not like she does London
Nul , vous pouvez traduire svp en français......😢
