Thanks for this video. My wife and I moved to France from Arizona 5 1/2 years ago, and we havenât looked back. Weâre out in Normandy, with easy access to Paris by train, and it has worked for us beautifully. Indeed, the physical planning and administrative tasks were, in retrospect, almost insurmountable, and yet, by simply tackling one thing at a time we somehow managed to make it. As you have found, the French people themselves have been incredibly helpful, patient, and kind, and that includes all of the fonctionnaires in the government offices. We are supremely grateful to the Republic of France and the people of France because we are truly at home here.

â€I was so lucky to run into Colleen and Antoine in Paris (near the palace) when they were shooting this episode last week. I ran towards them basically screaming đ. I followed their advice on the metro card, dining options, and even places to shop and buy souvenirs. Now Iâm back in Boston, with best memories of Paris. Thank you again for all your videos. Will visit Paris again!

J'ai adorĂ© l'annecdote sur le ContĂ© fruitĂ© đ mais il faut dire que c'est un vĂ©ritable exploit de revenir aprĂšs tant d'annĂ©es et retrouver ces automatismes. C'est aussi une Ă©norme preuve d'amour d'avoir tout quittĂ© pour la France chapeau monsieur. Votre dame a de la chance de vous avoir, on peut sentir l'amour et le respect qu'il y a entre vous. Quoi de mieux que de dĂ©couvrir la France avec un bilingue français pour vous madame. Bonne chance Ă vous et bienvenue madame

This was my favorite video of your guys', I didn't want it to end! I'm taking my parents to Paris on the 27th of this month, excited to be back for the 5th time with your guide! Thank you!!
@christopherlyon4946
This is your best video yet! Iâm a Brit living permanently in France, and I have known France for over 50 years and speak French comfortably, but not perfectly. I didnât think I would learn much from your videos, but I was wrong. Your content is excellent - full of practical advice, deep human wisdom, realism about the negatives, and a warm enthusiasm for France which is a joy to watch. But I always wondered what you were doing here. Now I know! Thanks for sharing your deeply moving story which resonated a lot with me. Very best wishes to you both. â€
@mariemccorry5405
Now here is a channel I truly enjoy, I'm like you Collen, I love the French EVERYTHING, I don't like the 20-year-old influencers, I want to see the older, honest, mature realistic videos. I'm hooked! thank you both for this channel. Someday I will go.
@yoannarsie3277
As a parisian you make me falling in love again with the city where I live!!! Itâs amazing!!!
@carmel_badchap
Thanks for sharing your very personal experiences guys. Iâm visiting France for the 2nd time this November. 1st time was with my late husband & kids in 2017. This time solo. Iâm feeling much more confident about my trip, thanks in part to your helpful videos. Sorry I canât commit to more, but hereâs a coffee xx
@ocker2000
Past summer my young kids (9 & 14) and I prepared our visit to Paris using your videos as a guide. My impression was that you had moved to Paris many years ago. This video shows you have only moved a few years ago! I am very impressed. You made our visit to Paris a success! Thank you and please keep making videos. You are making a difference.
@ambambroni
This was so wonderful. I love that Colleen used her own experience in the school to reflect back on what it must be like for Hatian and Latino families in FLA. She brings so much heart to this project, I'm glad she decided to get in front of the camera. Thank you both!
@kathewright5619
Colleen brought tears to my eyes when she spoke about feeling useless when meeting with your son's teachers. That strikes at a parent's core. What I admire about Colleen (and Antoine too-- after so many years and finding he identified as an American) is the willingness to completely change your life, immersed in a new culture. So hard to do--much easier to stay!
This is your best video, by far.
Thank you!
And please give my regards to Vincent ('my new friend in Paris'). After 30 years of visiting Europe, the St Germaine tour we enjoyed with him in December stands out as our BEST tour ever.
@stevenpayne850
After watching this particular video I've determined that this world needs more people like the both of you.

†The love and respect you have for each other is really refreshing and beautiful â€
@keev8012
Thank you for sharing your story. As an American who decided to move to France a few years ago I have a special appreciation for not only your deeper motivations but also the highs and lows of your journey - especially having to do a lot of it during COVID.
@susanschwarz7022
So affirming to see that 183k subscribers resonate with real people, quality content and genuine feel good vibes. Letâs go 200k subscribers!
@charliec2960
You guys have no idea how awesome it is to hear your story and look through your photo album. After watching you for years! Knowing your backstory is truly wonderful. And I'm only three minutes in... Thank you for your vulnerability, Colleen. It's so important for us to understand the truth of moving to Paris. Amazing guys. I hope this is just part one.
@CKLee-rs4kl
Through it all, you've created another success -- that's what happens when a couple supports each other. Many happy returns in the new year!
