Just got back from Normandy. Loved it! Trouville and Deauville were amazing. So was Honfleur. Went to Nice last year and loved it!
Im from Paris , I love it but french riviera with Nice is gorgeous
BRETAGNE is so beautiful too ! ( whole of France really, and so diverse areas and diverse weather ...)
Your latest vlog popped up tonight. We hope you are both well. It’s good to see you still have plans to visit France and to possibly retire to France as well someday. We hope you enjoy your upcoming trip. A couple of suggestions to visit if you have not already done so are Le Bon Marche and Le Grand Epiciere de Paris in St Germain. We also love visiting Marché biologique Raspail on a Sunday morning; we always grab something lovely and then walk across to the Jardin du Luxembourg to eat it. Sunday morning in the gardens watching Paris life is about as good as it gets. Maria e Rowan
Hi Maria and Rowan! We are doing well and so excited to be returning to Paris soon. We definitely have Le Bon Marche on our list but will also add Le Grand Epiciere de Paris and Marche biologique Raspail as well. So much to see and do!! Merci for the suggestions!
I wish your videos were longer. or at least the footage of France. I feel like i travel vicariously through you both. :)
Will keep that in mind and try to include more footage for you ❤️
Thank you.
You are such a sweet couple. I love watching your adventures. And when Tony said he just loves to get lost in Paris, it reminds me of my beautiful late husband, who also did the same. This is such a joy to watch. Thank you both, and blessings always.
😊 thank you
I love your titles. Ear, Pray, Love was one of my favorite movies. France needs to do a movie like it. Debby in Kansas
Thank you, Debby! Me too!! That would be a wonderful movie, I'm sure. I think with the popularity of Emily in Paris we'll be seeing more shows and movies being produced in Paris and other areas of France.
Good day, I'd like to bring to your attention a fascinating location: Père Lachaise Cemetery. It's a historical cemetery in Paris where you can find the graves of many famous artists, writers, and musicians.
Thank you! It's on our list to visit this trip!!
We love living in Nice. Hope to run into you one of these days! Been cloudy but will be mostly sunny soon!
I hope so too!
a great museum to visit in Paris - the Musée Marmottan, the world’s largest collection of paintings by Monet - without the crowds of the Orsay!
and a restaurant to try (and get the chocolate mousse for dessert) - Chez Janou (near the Place Des Vosges)
Thank you. I've added them to our list.
Having a Purpose is important , Keep Filming , Sharing is Caring , Si'l Vous Plait
Merci ❤️
Filming is important because after you’ve been to lots of places, and time passes, it’s easy to forget what you’ve seen. As a chef and eternal foodie, I’d love to see more local markets, food halls, grocery stores. Restaurants are great, but when you live there, you will spend more time shopping and cooking your own food. When I was in France, I discovered many foods and flavor combinations not found in the US.
Thanks, Linda. That is definitely on our filming schedule for this trip! Markets, food and grocery stores!
Prioritizing is important, I agree. Savoring, such memories. To film? I love seeing the restaurants or bistros, especially that coffee shop where you made a friendship with the owner.
Yes, that was when we lived in Versailles. We plan to go back there on this next visit!
Headed to Nice in a few weeks. What's the address for Le Petit Cafe? Can only find Le Grand Cafe. Thanks.
It's right next to Le Grand Cafe. They are the same address. It's 7 Rue de France
LOVE YOUR BLOUSE AND EARINGS K.J.!!!!!
Merci!
Living in the area of Nice has many advantages... especially the climat. High number of sunny days in this region allow many lunches on terraces of bistros and restaurants throughout the year. In winter though several of the beach restos are closing down (waves are getting bigger etc).... Evën smaller towns have their veggie market.
Cultural events from Menton to Cannes cost far less compared to Paris. In summer several events are free to attend.
Consider reading "The Connexion", an English publication (one can subscribe)... giving general info on France. The quality of life in this region is exceptional.
This is all so true, which is what makes the South of France so appealing.
Cafes, Bistros? Oh dear .. I would tell you my favorites but then it wouldn't be my little secret would it? 🤪 -Daniel (Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris)
Yes, of course. We need to keep some things to ourselves.
That drum band in the Place de la Justice were great. I love a good drum band! That square is our go-to for a glass of wine in the afternoon. As for Paris, if you haven’t already, how about filming in the Jardin de Luxembourg or at the Pantheon. I’m like you two, I love both Paris and Nice but Paris just takes it as my favourite.
Yes, those are great suggestions. Merci!
Nice little update...always astounds me that the immensity of rich food doesn't translate to obese French people...although they do move/walk/stroll/limit portions and stay active in general. Here you need #4: pray the pepto works. 😁
It's all the walking, Carol!!
Hello KJ and tony! Thanks for the nice Nice video. Are you able to say which airlines you prefer flying to France?
We usually fly United or Delta. We enjoy both, but prefer Delta a bit more.
I did not know both KJ and Tony are mental health counselors. Thank you for mentioning it. I thought Tony was an architect.
Tony used to work in the restaurant industry selling restaurant franchises and ultimately owned his own chain called Juicy Lucys. When he stopped drinking he knew the restaurant industry would not be a conducive environment to maintain his sobriety. So, he went back to school and became a therapist and, coupled with his business background, he ultimately took over the operation of the treatment center where he, himself, went for treatment 😊🙏❤️ We have a members-only video about his last day working there (at the treatment center) prior to our move to France. It's a pretty interesting and unique story.
May be you could film some small villages, historic villages ? ❤❤❤
Thank you for the suggestion ❤️
Y'all keep doing what you're doing. I do the same; film & take loads of pics. When I went to Paris, I visited the Musee d'Orsay. I took pics out the windows of the Musee. I was distraught after the trip because I never made it to Sacré Coeur. One day, I was looking at my pics. I noticed when I snapped a pic out of one of those windows, I captured Sacré Coeur in the background. It warmed my heart. ❤😊
There is so much to see and never enough time!
Did you decide to purchase a home in Florida or rent until you return to France? If you purchased, do you intend to keep the home or sell it when you move to France? Thank you!
We purchased our house here in Florida and plan to keep until until we find something we'd like to buy in France. We don't anticipate this will be for another 4-5 years. Until then, we plan to rent in France.
@@kjandtonylovefrance Thank you!
What is the name of the place with the sea food plater?
I have an upcoming trip to Nice in a few days. I have visited Montpellier and Paris but this will my first time visiting Nice.
The seafood dish in this video? Or was it another video? The seafood dish in this video is at Le Petite Cafe, which is a part of Le Grande Cafe de France. We also highly recommend Le Galet, which is right on the Mediterranean.
@@kjandtonylovefrance Thanks for the info.
I am looking forward to my trip. I am a solo traveller in my 70s enjoying the last chapters of my life.
Could you please film in the Batignolles and rue des Martyrs, s’il vous plait. Love your channel ❤
Just added to our list!
I’m interested in moving to Nice 2025…am in the research mode, thank you for this vldeo. I am also following a few expats who have already made the move…am grateful to have so much information readily available. Good luck with your process….❤..p.s…I savor life twice, three times, etc by keeping a journal.
Nice is an amazing city. We love it here.And close to all the other great villages to explore.
Have you watched any of the Post Cards from our Golden Years videos. They are a couple from Naples, Florida who just moved to Nice. Ideally, we want to go between Nice and Paris. The logistics are where to keep the full-time residence. Nice or Paris? You'll probably be there full-time before us, so you'll have to keep us posted.
@@kjandtonylovefrance Hello explorers! No we have not but will for sure. So far there is some division among the family. I love Nice because EVERYTHING is a walk away. Done with all that driving. But the wife would like a little more green for our youngest. So we are seeing potentially a 2nd home maybe an hour or 2 away as an agreement. I like my oldest can walk to school and smaller is also near hers.
We plan on leasing a car and exploring the next few years all the beautiful villages nearby. We really like how close we are also to Italy. Planning a couple of days near Liguria in October, and a wedding for a cousin in Barcelona. So all this we can do by car.
Would love to know what villages or city you decide to settle in. But I also see whatever place it is , we all need to get our American fix in yearly.
We are still holding on to our FL property , and see how things are in 4 years. Have a great day!
We have been to the Petite Cafe de Paris a number of times. I used to get my hair done at a hair salon nearby, so it was a convenient place to go for lunch and they used to have a seafood salad that was fabulous. After we saw the piano player in your last video, we did ask when "he" would be playing again. First, the person we asked (who, we noticed was the guy in your last video) didn't want to answer, and then finally said, "next weekend". So we returned the next weekend. No piano player. We asked the woman who seated us. She said, "no piano player". Maybe next month. The guy who was playing in your video is there everytime we go there. I got the impression if he isn't the owner, he's the manager. I think maybe it was a one off when you saw him. They don't seem to want to talk about the piano player. We stopped asking and decided to stop going there, actually. The time we went there before last, we had the best steak we had found anywhere in Nice. So we returned about a week ago and ordered the steak again. This time, it wasn't very good--actually too tough and chewy like a lot of the steaks we have had in Nice, unfortunately. We're back to searching for the perfect steaks. And they no longer have the seafood salad that I loved. We have decided that, for us, it's off our list of favs. Perhaps next time you're there, they will play the piano for YOU We didn't recognize the restaurant food from the next place you showed. Many places in Nice offer charcuterie boards that look pretty close to that. We look forward to learning where it's from. We rarely order charcuterie boards out, but are always open to checking out new restaurants. Sorry we'll miss you in Paris on your next trip. We're here now but will probably be back in Nice before you arrive. Safe travels... ♥
Hi An & Jeff! Yes, it can be a hit or miss experience. We are familiar with the gentleman you are referring to that is always there. I do think he is the manager, as opposed to the owner. I believe we've seen the owner there several times as well, but it is not the gentleman in the video. As for the charcuterie board and the avocado toast, that was the Hobo Cafe. We love sitting outside and people watching on a Sunday afternoon, and their food is really good.
I see that you are in Paris now to celebrate your birthday. Happy Birthday!! I hope you enjoy every minute and look forward to the photos and videos. Yes, I'm sure we will be down in Nice again and we will definitely have to get together since we are still deciding whether our full-time residence will be in Nice and then travel to Paris, like you are doing OR in Paris and then travel down South. We keep flip-flopping back and forth and now are in the buy in Nice and rent in Paris for a month at a time during our favorite times of the year, like you are doing.
Thanks for your videos and paving the way for us and others seeking to do the same ❤️❤️❤️
@@kjandtonylovefrance We have seen the Hobo cafe lots in our travels. Never went there. We'll check it out when we get home. Thanks for the good wishes. Wishing you both all the best! xo
Hi KJ & Tony, I love all the videos you post. So grateful to see & hear the sights & sounds of France. Ty ♥️
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for all your support ❤️ 💕💗
I've been going to France for 8 years!!! The big cities are nice to visit, but the smaller cities, are so much more real, and the curlture is so awesome! Tours , France in Lorie Valley., Valley of theKings!!!!
We plan to get there eventually. It is so hard to resist going back to places that we love. I'm afraid of going somewhere new and it not being as wonderful as Paris or the South of France. We were supposed to go to Cotignac on our last trip but we both got sick and decided to stay longer in Chamonix to recover. We've heard great things about Cotignac.
Where in Idaho were you at? I’m from (and live) in Idaho! 😊
Coeur D'Alene
@@kjandtonylovefrance it’s beautiful there 😀
Bravo on the great video!
Thank you, mon ami 😘
❤❤❤
❤️
That shrimp seafood dish looked wonderful!
It was!
Very nice to see you 2! 💕💕💕💕
Thank you! 🤗
So much fun at the piano!
He really was so entertaining!
Hello, Thanks for sharing your adventures in France. I am French and my husband is British, after spending over 40 years in the UK we came to retire in Burgundy, France( after the Brexit vote nearly 7 years ago ). Our daughter lives in Vero Beach and we will be there in October . We were wondering if we could meet as we have a lot in common and we could share our experiences with you ? Would love to hear from you if you read this message.
Hello Catherine 👋 Yes, sure. That sounds lovely. We will be leaving for France October 30th. Please send an email to kj@kjandtony.com to see if we can coordinate a good time to meet.
@@kjandtonylovefrance hello ! we have sent you an email with dates etc....look forward to meeting you soon.
