    Wow this village looks stunning - I was wondering whether it would be worth stopping off here on my way back to Avignon after seeing the Gorges du Verdon and this vlog has sold it for me. Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you so much for sharing. Can I ask, is it quite easy to find supermarkets there to stop off at and buy supplies for a picnic? You've inspired me to have a romantic picnic by the Lake with my partner! :)

    • @SamFournier

    Hi, Sam and Paul. This is amazing footage of Moustiers and Lac de St Croix. Thank you for sharing it! My wife and I have been to Moustiers-Ste-Marie a couple of times, and we we will be returning this December to see what it's like when so many of the shops and restaurants are closed for the winter. Maybe we're crazy, but we are considering moving there! Cheers and thanks again for your fantastic vlog!

    This might be an unexpected question, but I really need to know the answer. So, me and my boyfriend were thinking of moving to Aix-en-Provence next summer, but er started having some fear, because of certain incidents that have been happening in the past few years. I am Romanian and he is Portuguese and we are not the most liked people in France so we are a bit scared of not being able to find jobs because of our nationalities. You live there, your husband is French so I was wondering if you could give us some insight from inside France. Thank you!

      What kind of work do you do? Can you speak French? That will make a lot difference as well.
      The larger cities of France are not cheap to live in, in general, but they're all cheaper than Paris. Just don't expect too much for your money for what you get.

      Hi there! This question is hard for me to answer since I’m American. From my experience I have felt very welcomed and safe in Aix en Provence, I also see many ethnicities here. As for jobs, I’m still unemployed and I know jobs here aren’t as easy to get like in America. I don’t speak French so I don’t have a job at the moment. I would recommend joining the fb group Moving to Aix en Provence and ask some questions there as you’ll be able to get a viewpoint from many different people with different nationalities. My personal recommendation would come visit first to make sure it’s a good fit. The best of luck to you and your boyfriend💕
