Yours are videos to savor, not to skim through. You have a wonderful way of capturing both the aura of the region and its small, idiosyncratic details. I'm so glad I watched until the end and was rewarded with a view of the beautiful new gates!
Love the gate! Your vlogs are always so beautiful!❤
Thanks!
Good to see it's spring somewhere! Greetings from snow covered North Dakota.
And MN too!!
So much work for you, but the end result will be so worth every bit of it. The architecture in Arnay-le-duc and Nolay is just beautiful! So much history. So charming. Beautiful vineyards. Pretty new gate. Thank you for sharing such lovely places with us side chair travelers.
My pleasure!
The blooms in the earthenware vase looked so beautiful! Your cat is always busy doing something, adorable kitty! This video was so totally relaxing....I could feel my blood pressure going down...thanks!
Happy to hear that!
New gate is dreamy, like it belongs in a fairytale!
Thanks!
Suggestion- lay a tarp down (like the one covering your firewood) and throw your cuttings and yard debris on the tarp. Next, fold over the sides of the tarp so you don't get poked or scratched by the cuttings and then you can drag the tarp into your van and then drag it off at the landfill. I learned this trick while working with a landscape company one summer. It saves your back and your time. The new gates are beautiful.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Yes .I do that with my weeds x
Such a lovely video. A helping hand makes the clean up outside much more pleasant and quick. I just love the blossoms of Spring. The mid-evil village is so charming. We could never build anything so grand today. Love the old stone buildings. To have this enchanting scenery around you is such a gift. The village reeks of history. So enchanting. What a lovely restaurant / cafe. The food looks ever so delicious. What an added pleasure. A cinema room. The roads are never busy which adds to the peace and calm of the country. One item I really like in that second hand shop is the stoneware Lavender Pot with the little mallet/spoon hanging on the side of it. It has a large cork in the top of it. I just love, love love lavender. I grew up with English lavender and I love the smell also of French Lavender. I make lavender wands to hang in my closets and place in the linens. Another trick I do is hang the wands from the bed posts. I do this also with eucalyptus. The bedrooms always smell delightful. So many beautiful items to purchase in that quaint shop. It is so well organized. The wrought iron scroll work and gates are gorgeous. Oh my, your new gates are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking your fans along with you on this fabulous adventure.
Thank you!
I understand very little Dutch because of my limited German, several stays in the Netherlands years ago and hearing friends from Dutch Embassies around the world … but when I hear a GOOD Dutch with a NICE ACCENT, I enjoy it a lot … when we lived in Köln, also years ago, I was listening to the news on Dutch TV, just for pleasure … all that to say that it is a pleasure to listen to you …
Thanks for the lovely comment!
Ok, that would be so amazing to visit that store. I’d go crazy! Such amazing things there. Love the new gate!
Love your new gate and that won't rot. Love your brocante trips as usual, Could feel myself twitch, wanting to be in there also touching and looking🤭 Beautiful villages and architecture
Hi Marloes, have you ever thought about a wood chipper? Then you don't have to drive up and down every time and you do your garden a favor with the mulch layer between your plants.
Yes we have one! But this was so much and we need to clear part of our property for when they’re making the parking so we just took this to the green dump now.
Enjoying France with friends so nice
Gorgeous filming! I so look forward to your vlogs! Beyond beautiful!!!
Thank you for sharing that! 💜
One thing I notice with all the videos from Europe is the lack of telephone poles and wires. It's gorgeous that way! Is everything underground? America is covered in wires, ugh! What a beautiful gate!
In France, compared to the Netherlands where I’m from, a lot is NOT underground! So it’s interesting to hear your perspective. I think I mostly film in pretty remote areas which I why you don’t see a lot of wires but in the Netherlands there are hardly any and it’s such a difference!
Amazing Emmaus, stocked to the rafters!
Can’t wait to see the beautiful gate installed !! Lovely vlog 💕
what a pleasure to see I really enjoyed
Just come across you and I totally understand the clean up I have been doing the same around my place lots of work but rewarding in the end as it looks so tidy now!! ❤ Grace 🇨🇦
Hi Marloes, I enjoy your Channel so much. 😊 I loved that you caught the sweet, little fox 🦊 on film! Have a great weekend. 🇨🇦
Yes it is so sweet! It's been there for a few months now and I am always surprised it keeps sitting there and doesn't run away until I get really close!
@@FrenchCountryLife 🦊 ❤️ How lovely for you. I love it when people respect and can live in gentle harmony with wildlife.
Another beautiful, relaxing, and very enjoyable video. My wife says that you have a real eye for photography--lots of gorgeous shots beautifully edited. A feast for the eyes. Can't wait to se the gate up!
Hello from Wisconsin! Thank you for another wonderful video of Burgundy. Here we are breaking toward spring...daffodils have broken ground, snow is almost melted, birds are out and buds are forming on trees. I love the sound of chain saws...it signifies time to spruce up for the new season. Enjoy!
Good to see Tigrette. Very nice video Thank you for taking the time and posting it.
Again a wonderfull video. The tast of france was nearby. Thanks!
Love the video,especially thrifting. My goodness the copper wares were amazing. Love copper especially French. Got a great start on yard work. Be blessed
So much stuff 😭 I would love to spend hours just sifting thru all those beautiful old things!
I love watching your videos. They are such a comfort and I like the way you pace your film and talking. 🇨🇦
Thank you!
Beautiful gate ~ love the colour!
I enjoy the scenery as you drive!
Living in Sweden and it's been snowing here almost every day in my region this week. And I have the flu... It's so uplifting to watch this Spring video. Beautiful ⚘️💗🤗
Get better soon! 🌷
Love the new gate! Looking forward to seeing it installed😊
Yes, Spring has arrived for you! In NE corner of Oregon, USA not as far along as you are! Your flowers are lovely! Thanks for sharing your journey!
My pleasure!
Lovely gate!
Beautiful video. Lovely town. Lovely arrangements. Enjoyed this!
Thank you!
Beautiful video. You have such a good eye for landscape photography ! Love the gate ! Thank you 🙏💕🌷
So glad Spring has arrived. I love the bowl you got, I need to drag Paul with me to EMMAUS!
Always such beautiful, peaceful videos. The countryside and charming villages with all the interesting history. How nice to be able to have dinner and see a movie all in the same place. A great idea. I so love your still shots of the night sky . It’s so rewarding to get the garden cleaned isn’t it? The gates are really pretty. Thank you for taking us shopping I did love the little plates you looked at with the blue rim and the little red flower in the center. When I see a special plate in the thrift store here I will get it and save for when I bring something special I bake to a friend and the plate is part of the gift. This was so nice thank you.
Thank you! That is such a wonderful idea to collect pretty plates and gift them to friends when you bring homemade food to them!
get a bucket or a strong spray bottle and put vinegar, dish detergent or hand soap, add a lot of salt. pour it over the weeds in your gravel area on sunny day and the next day you will find them wilted and dead. with a spray you have to go over the weeds a few times. with the pouring from the bucket, the weeds die faster. the more the salt in the solution the better. loooove these videos. can't wait to get to southern france
Thank you! Others have given the same advice. Some however have said it ruins the ph of the soil which then harms insects or nearby plants. What’s your experience with that? Thanks again
You got so much done! Thank you for sharing!❤
Beautiful Marloes😊
merci!
Love your new gate!
Lovely!
Love the gates! I also liked the desk style you liked for your future office.
Your words and videos are poetry🦜🌷
Such beautiful villages around you ..I wouldn’t get any work done 😂 That’s my favourite emmaus so far, colour coordinated and the gates are beautiful too.
Ooo wat leuk Marloes 😊 Erg netjes en gesorteerd deze brocante ❤ We weten al precies je smaak en welk potje je beet pakt🥣❤
Thank you again for the tour . I love so much your video.
✨ my pleasure!
Prachtig ❤❤❤
Hi Great video, have you thought about getting a trailer? A Remorque. It is so much easier to collect garden waste and transport it to the tip. Building materials too. 500 kg trailer doesn’t need any insurance or registration. Don’t be tempted to get a bigger one because there are rules about bigger trailers. You may also know about the flower market at chateau de la ferte near Buxy on the 16th April. Well worth a visit for plants and garden interest. Great videos, I have enjoyed each one.😊
Truly enjoyed this video. Thank you!
My pleasure!
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing.i would absolutely love to live in France. Love from Ireland Subscribed!
Welcome to the channel!
I wish I could have that desk for Euro 160!
I love your country lanes and historic stone villages. Chat lunatique! Ha ha. Your gate is beautiful and your gardens will be stunning.
Thank you!
I love your videos. So calming and beautiful scenery.
merci!
How precious seeing that red fox. Your roads seem to narrow for 2 cars, but enjoyed Video.🌹
The small countryroads are narrow indeed but we always manage when a car or tractor is coming in the opposite direction, everyone is used to driving on these roads here.
You et better and better each week. Lovely mix this week. So enjoy you.
Thank you for being here!
Thanks again Marloes! That Emmaus store looks huge -would love a return visit one day? I’m wondering why do so many buildings have shutters closed? Are they vacant?
Thank you for the wonderful video. Greetings from Serbia🌍
Thank you for being here!
vous composez souvent des jolis tableaux avec un vase , une branche ..ce que vous trouvez sous la main ...c'est original et très photogénique ...
merci!
Lieve Marloes, bedankt voor nog een leuke video. Ik voelde echt niet goed deze morgen (en toch moet ik werken...), dus met mijn koffie en de gezellige video is mijn dag al beter. Ik hoop dat we zullen weer binnenkort kunnen komen. Groetjes uit België!
Fijn om te horen! Jullie zijn altijd welkom!
Marloes, je hebt jezelf weer overtroffen met deze veelzijdige video. Dank! En ik heb goed opgelet bij de tuinklussen. Mocht je volgend jaar hulp nodig hebben, dan weet je me te vinden. Fijn voor je dat Sigrid je hielp. En wat een fraaie poort! Over Emmaüs zeg ik niets meer. Ik ben gewoon jaloers 🙂
Another beautiful vlog! And I love the new gate!
thanks!
💓💓💓💓
Love your videos, your garden is beautiful, I get weeds on my patio, but can't vend down to get them, and have cat's, so when I see one, just a pinch of sea salt, and an apology for doing it😅, when it dies back, I just sweep it up, only way to keep on top of them. Safe for the cat also. Thanks for the lovely trips I take with you. Next year YAY! I will book my trip and come rent out your B&B😊
Would love to welcome you!
Do you and your family go a visit other nearby countries for a few days holiday ? Living here in Australia is one big Island and so every other countries are so far away and airplanes are the only option :( I will be going on many holidays exploring Europe when I move to France !!! Plus as a Leeds United fan I can finally go to a Premier league game woohoo !!! Maybe go see Messi play with PSG :))) There is so many options to explore and see in Europe compared to what I can do in Australia.
Was that Emmaus in Montceau-les-Mines? Love all the porcelain plates!!!!!!
Yes it was! I had never been there before!
🥰🇨🇦
At the 25min mark the shelf behind ,it had all these magnificent MURANO splash design vases and bowls :))) They sell for around $50-80 each here in Australia and there was about 50+ on top of that shelf 😢😢😢😢 and I can't get my hands on them to sell online !
you may be soon if I’ve understood your plans correctly! I personally am not drawn to them at all so I never pick them up.
I’m surprised u don’t have a compost pile to put that organic material on. It eventually breaks down and can add vital nutrients to ur garden.
We do have a compost pile but will need to move it in the coming weeks when they start creating the parking
Merci pour vos vidéos que j'adore. Le magasin Emmaüs est superbement organisé. Pourriez-vous m'indiquer dans quelle ville ou village il se trouve. Par avance, je vous remercie. Bon week end.
Il est à Monceau les mines!
Hi, do you ever test your dishes for lead? If so, what do you use? I’m in the states, we have test kits available, but they’re mostly for paint. It says it’s not reliable on dishes.
I don’t. I assume that it may be in most dishes (except stoneware and porcelain) which is why I never use them when they have cracks or flaws.
❤🌷🌷🌷
Hallo Marloes, in je handtekening staat de verwijzing om de cabin te boeken maar als je die kopieert en plakt zie je dat de "r" in bourgogne ontbreekt. Misschien even herschrijven?
O wat fijn dat je me daarop wijst! Ik heb het aangepast! Dank je wel 🙏
I kept wishing you a chipper!
We’ve got one! We just had so much this time that we decided to bring most of it to the dump.
Could you give us a price on the copper pots? I love them.
I’m sorry I didn’t ask for the price for any of them… so I wouldn’t be able to tell you…
Maybe next time. 😋
How much was that last unit was it metal?
Yes it was metal! There was no price tag and I’m not sure if it even was for sale.
@@FrenchCountryLife loved it not for everyone Love the type of pots you are collecting I would of bought the bowl just as is they pinn them here in Spain
Wow, welke Emmaüs was dit?
In Montceau les mines
Oeh, ‘n uurtje bij ons vandaan! Da’s de moeite 😊, merci!
Why are there no people walking in town?
They’re at work. It is not a busy city so it looks different. Villages and towns in the country are different. You’re not the first person asking about this… it’s intriguing 🤔
@@FrenchCountryLife How lovely to have the whole town to yourself. I just found your site & enjoyed the antique shopping.
Waarom koop je geen hout versnipperaar heb je meteen grond bedekking van al je afval takken ... scheelt je hoop tijd in heen en weer rijden ook
Die hebben we! Maar we hadden nu zó veel dat we een groot deel weg gebracht hebben en er is nog genoeg over om te snipperen…
All those journeys in a van ? Don’t they have bonfires in French gardens. Must be better for the environment and good for the compost heap.
We are officially not allowed to burn it no… although we do make smaller fires sometimes to limit driving back and forth but it is officially against the law… Fortunately the dump is in the village, only a few 100 meters away so it’s not a lot of driving.

You have little idea what viewers want to see brocanting. Not old cheap dishes. Antique furniture and china, include prices and what you've purchased. Good luck.
There is something for everyone. Many appreciate dishes as well as furniture.
I film everything at this thrift shop which is NOT a brocante for 2 reasons; 1 to show what it is truly like to search for these items in these places instead of at a curated brocante shop and 2 because even though I don’t personally like the objects, some viewers may. If you want to view another kind of brocante shopping, there are plenty of other channels you can follow. I personally do not like antiques and antique furniture so this is probably not the place for you. Thank you for not judging about what I do and do not know anything about without knowing anything about me and thank you for not imposing your demands on me. It’s a free country 🙃
I love watching her shop the thrift shops. These shops are comparable to American Goodwill stores !❤
