For French people this is not a small apartment for a couple... It's a really comfy space for two... We just have different standards.

[@AndreaClare]

Marina P. Yah we loved it! Miss this place 😌

[@IvyRoad]

It's also NOT a small apartment for a couple in Canada, especially in Vancouver or Toronto. My apartment in Toronto, for just me, is about 350 sq ft.. I think she knew she misspoke.

[@georgensal]

I guess is not a matter of standards, but of what one is used to....she mentioned also that she had been in smaller places , so this one wasn't that bad...and as a matter of fact, it's really nice, the outdoor space also makes one feel that there is another "room" to go to....

[@IvyRoad]

northern_lights Canadian and American are very different. Canadian apartments, in Toronto and Vancouver especially, are not large.

This house is so romantic!

[@AndreaClare]

It is! Going to miss it :(

[@toml671]

This is very French, I see this type of decorating in a lot of French films

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Why are you so defensive about your decor? It doesn't matter in the least bit. Show us the apt layout and interesting features like the charming back garden, fireplace, spiral staircase, pretty tile work in floor, little front courtyard, etc. We are not judging your creative talents, just looking inside a typical French apt. Thanks for the tour, lovely and large apartment! 18:56 - Those are Andirons, always a pair. You put them in the fireplace to hold the wood logs for burning. They lift the logs off the ground, that is their function. 19:01 - Those are African tribal bronze antelope masks, quite lovely and worth a bit.

[@AndreaClare]

Lass-in Angeles I think I was just a bit cranky that day. I really miss that place! It was adorable! 😍

[@melissaallen3918]

@Lass-in Angeles That is so funny that you commented on her being defensive. I kept fast forwarding as it seemed to be a long rant on negatives. I thought the apartment was fab. Having two outside courtyards - great! The drama colored dark accent wall - loved it. The windows - so pretty. The kitchen - great size & cute. The living room, bedroom & bathroom - wowza. The street - heavenly. That extra back enclosed building space - I would have used that to toss the small sofa in & went to one of the LARGE FLEA MARKETS they have in France immediatement & purchased a used larger couch for nearly nothing to use for six months....if it mattered much to moi. I honestly thought that she was just filming to show the condition of the place on film that they left it in as proof that they did not damage anything to get any security deposit back because she was not a happy camper. Falling down the stairs could have been avoided if she did not wear her shoes, held the rail & took her time...it is not a surprise they are there unless she has daily amnesia. One of my goals: not to be or turn into a grumpy fart, but to enjoy what I've got. C'est la vie. ☺

[@darinroberts3528]

Im bulgarian girl Living in usa Missing europe.. You are blessed... France its fun🌎❤

[@kimberlyschiele1117]

what do you pay per month for this darling place?

[@kathleenbifulco8129]

That bedroom is a feature of the whole house, just so lovely!

[@luciel.8729]

I actually love all the black details 💕

[@AndreaClare]

I never thought I'd like the black but I actually loved it too!

[@LaBucci]

This is just the cutest house ever!!!! I would love to live in such a charming space like this! It’s small but just the right amount of romantic and gorgeous 🥰

[@AndreaClare]

I totally agree!

[@darinroberts3528]

I think Europeans are more laid back.. Love life.. Not matter the big house...and the 3 car garage😃😃😃😃

[@Natisson]

yes, we are ;) small or big, it doesn't matter

[@JohnKouts]

There is no such thing as 'Europeans'. It's like comparing a guy from Finland and another from Spain.

[@lql1094]

You can simultaneously love life, and desire a big house with a 3 car garage.

[@xrisovalantis3927]

LQL fr

[@perseagratissima]

JohnKouts While I agree, Europa isn’t a country, there are still similarities across this continent. And especially if you compare it with North America, houses and cars aren’t as big as there. But also not as cheaply made ;) I’d rather stay in my 19th century Viennese Apartment than live in a McMansion

[@stellabella2827]

Lovely video, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a genuine French apartment. I love interior design, so different homes and decor are always interesting. This is a lovely apt, even with Wilson, bamboo, and a green patio (part of the charm)....But what broke my heart to hear is that you didn't have the heat working in the most crucial time of need!! WINTER -10°--my goodness! That's HORRIBLE! But other than that, it sounds like a neat little town. Loved the apt tour you gave. Thank you!

[@AndreaClare]

Thank you for watching! So glad you liked it. Yes, I loved that apartment but the heating was a BIG problem! But we still miss it :)

[@maddscientist3170]

Decor is absolutely awesome! Bathroom sink is beautiful!! So very French. Andirons are the fireplace accessories.

[@carollogue8218]

You are one spoiled Canadian girl. That apartment is exceptional for Paris. I am Canadian and would love staying there. 6 months, seriously?

[@AndreaClare]

I am very lucky to have the life I have, call it what you like. The apartment was outside of Paris (and therefore less expensive) and I actually loved this apartment, but I’m also allowed to have thoughts and opinions ☺️

[@biomanization]

Sweet with charm. You’d probably prefer a new condo with granite counters, stainless steel and a high HOA. Each to his own...

[@AndreaClare]

I actually really loved this place! We miss it! But it did have its down falls...

[@officiallaurenbrown]

Gosh! I reemner when you first posted this video! you had a few thousand followers I think. Love seeing you grow! Yes Andrea! YES!! -- Lauren

[@sarahconnell]

This house is amazingly beautiful...

[@AndreaClare]

I agree! Miss that place :)

[@denisesevera9490]

Omigoodness love the apartment! As far as the heating issues go I would probably invest in a portable radiant heater, but I found it absolutely charming - I could picture myself entertaining guests on the patio or having coffee or tea & visiting with the birds that live in the area Thx so much for sharing it was one of the nicest apartment tours I've been on so far & good luck & best wishes for your next move.

[@siangata4235]

I’ve never heard someone complain so much about having a roof over their head.

[@lql1094]

She said there was no heat for a good portion of that time. Stating that is not complaining. It's merely stating that the place lacked a basic utility.

[@AndreaClare]

haha yes! and in winter too! We were freezing hahah But we survived, it's a funny story now :)

[@lacklusterluke5855]

i don't see how you came to that conclusion

[@143love143143love143]

It’s called blogging and not complaining. She has to be real with what she says.

[@chefEmersonWilliams]

I agree...it was a little off-putting. I get that one must be honest in doing a vlog. It's just that the tone was on the ingratitude side.

[@arielleolivia1164]

this place is beautiful wow

[@AndreaClare]

it was! We were very lucky to call it home :)

[@Hamaden1962]

So adorable.. would love to live in France for at least 6 months!

[@AndreaClare]

Christy B it was lovely! And Fontainebleau was a lovely town to spend the 6 months, still very close to Paris 🥰

[@ceedoubleyou]

thanks for that,(3yrs ago!), reminds me of my daughters and son-in-laws place in Bry, a 500yr old Chateu was split up into about 12 apartments in the middle of the village, it was on 3 levels and my 6' son-in-law couldn't use any of the stairs without hitting his head at least once a day.

[@EvaTurboChat]

Sorry for my english, I'm french. But the chair is not toilet ! It's for keeping salt. long time ago the salt was more expensive than gold, so a men keep it by sitting on it !

[@veroniquejezequel3862]

I am french and I confirm : It is a « chaise à sel » please Look for chaise à sel on internet, in France, salt was very precious, and had to be hidden

[@EvaTurboChat]

Thank you so much for sharing this very interesting information. My sister bought one of these chairs at a flea market and also thought it was a toilet. I can´t wait to share this with her! Best Wishes from Austria

[@gerigaskill785]

I cannot believe the constant complaining, ugh! Black counters don't look filthy?! Hello! You've had the opportunity to live in France for a couple of months, just be grateful for the experience and a comfy, pretty place to stay.

[@Edit.Name.]

Love it. However the front and back Courtyards could do with some more potted plants and a garden bench. I wouldn’t use a jet wash to clear the moss. Better to use something like Wet and Forget.

[@AndreaClare]

I agree! If we were going to be there longer we definitely would have done more with the yard :)

[@yvonneiversen8749]

I really enjoyed the video! What a beautiful place to be. I visited Paris when I was 50 and never wanted to go home again! I enjoyed this tour so much!

[@AndreaClare]

Thanks so much for watching! And so glad you enjoyed it 🥰

[@lavenderbrown3718]

This place was gorgeous...love all the owner's design choices. Love the black and white. Sorry you found so much to complain about. When I stayed in Paris, most of the places were significantly smaller. I imagine this place cost a fair amount to rent.

[@AndreaClare]

Lavender Brown I wasn’t complaining, simply pointing out preferences. This place was just outside of paris, in a town call Fontainebleau, so it wasn’t outrageous to rent 😊

[@lavenderbrown3718]

@@AndreaClare I understand and glad you found it ended up suiting you. However, as a viewer, it was a bit annoying to hear the listing of its shortcomings when I was here to drink in the beauty of this fortuitous find. And mostly, that is why your viewers are here. To see something inspiring. It really was truly atmospheric and a shame that it was punctuated by some of your comments. No worries. Sometimes when filming, we can never be sure of how a piece will turn out. I understand from one of your other comments below that you did not mean to sound that way. Good luck with your future adventures.

[@AndreaClare]

@@lavenderbrown3718 exactly, can't please them all. Definitely didn't mean for the video to come across that way, I'm a detail oriented person and like to point out all the pros and cons I see. Life in France isn't all rainbows and fairytales - we had our tough times there! Overall, we loved living in this place and really miss it :)

[@markellwilliams3594]

I loved the apartment tour and how cute it is. I lived there being a little girl. A lot of the French settled in lousiana which is where I’m from and have European in my blood. I jist started wanting to design with Parisian flair. I love how the women that’s in fashion dress effortless. Their face is not beat they just put a red lipstick jeans and a white blouse and they look gorgeous. It’s kind of the same with design at the places. It’s like everything is not perfect but yet beautiful to me. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽👌🏾♥️

[@thecriticreal7472]

Beautiful place.... why didn´ t they put the weird pupu chair in the storage back house? along with the dinning/study table .... and put the big dining table that is inside that storage house and live it the the backyard and enter the small table and use it as dining table ...and the stand table in the entrance probably would be more useful as a nightstand...just sayin´ but otherwise perfect tour ;)

[@gypsymoon474]

Girl! I’ve watched a few Paris apartment tours and yours is very big compared to the other videos! How did you get such a big place? I want to go to Paris as a study abroad student in a couple years and the videos I have watched the American students weren’t as lucky to get a nice place like yours!

[@AndreaClare]

This place was actually a bit outside of Paris, in a tiny town called Fontainebleau. But it was beautiful!

[@MrBalaboo]

Have you ever considered another french city? Paris is nice and all, but living there sucks. It's polluted, expensive, smells like piss... We have so many more nice places to live and study! :)

[@delphine1107]

Strasbourg is such a nice city that you should definitely consider

[@jhb61249]

The house has lots of interesting features, but... I'm claustrophobic and would go insane dealing with tight spaces of doorways, halls, staircase, etc. Visually, very charming. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndreaClare]

Thanks for watching :)

[@Laurenloveslaughter]

Such a cute place - so much character :) What an a some experience getting to live there for 6 months! I’ve loved following along on your French adventure! Thanks for sharing xx

[@AndreaClare]

it had SO much character - i loved it! Thank you for watching!! :)

[@sandramalone3522]

This is a fantastic apt./home. Yes to most Americans/Canadians it would seem small but I've seen micro spaces in France so this is really nice. Love all the features in it. I would love to live there and if I owned it I would decor it in old world charm. I see why you would miss this place. Great video!

[@AndreaClare]

Yah! It was so cute! It felt very French :)

[@sandramalone3522]

@@AndreaClareIs the place you moved into as cute as this one?

[@nancytoledo8039]

Please, everyone, this is an Air B&B--totally different scenario. The address is advertised and marketed as such, therefore is regularly online. If the owners wanted complete discretion and privacy, they would not advertise it as an Air B&B. Clare, you did nothing wrong, here, in revealing the address.

[@AndreaClare]

Nancy Toledo thank you for saying that! And I agree, it’s easy to google it online in 2 seconds so it really doesn’t matter if I mention it here. I haven’t lived there in 2 years so there is no cause for concern regarding security 👍🏻

your apartment is so cute! i aspire to moving to france, this really gives me an idea of how i'd want my apartment to look.

[@ffxiprincess411]

I wouldn't have been very happy with little to no heating and hot water either. It seems to me that for some of these people with negative comments about Andrea's comments.....go look in a mirror loves... it's a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

[@AndreaClare]

haha thank you! and yes, being without heating and water in winter was a bummer - funny now, but at the time it sucked.

[@chefEmersonWilliams]

No, it's not. It's commenting on a video. In our everyday lives, we are probably grateful for what we have. She displayed a character of ingratitude that was very alienating. That's why the negative comments. If you notice, most commenters on KZbin decorating videos are overwhelmingly positive. This is a very fair constructive criticism for the young woman. If she is not defensive or overly sensitive, it will make her better. That's a positive!

[@AndreaClare]

Emerson Williams oh lord 🤷🏼‍♀️ have you ever been without heating for hot water in the dead of winter while paying top dollar to be there and there is no one willing to correct things for a week? 🤦🏼‍♀️ I think most people would have an issue with that. I wasn’t being sensitive. I think a lot of people like to see the realities of living in a new country. There was a lot of good, but it was a lot of up and down too.

[@odonata9838]

I love so many things about this video/tour. Great commercial for this listing! I hope there've been more bookings for the location since posting. I hope the heating gets fixed, though.

[@AndreaClare]

the heating was eventually fixed! Thank god!

[@learnfrenchwithmeme5944]

Thank you for saying that! People are killing me here in the comments for my honesty and details haha

[@andrewmaxwell5520]

Those look like door stops that are on the fireplace hearth upstairs in the bedroom.

[@islandbirdw]

That’s an old porta potty or chamber. Those stairs are common in France. My brother lives in Vilneuve D’asq near the Flemish border. He had the same exact stairs. We had our toddler with us and had to really be careful. I myself had to be even more careful. I think BC space is at a premium this type of spiral staircase is inexpensive.

[@AndreaClare]

Yes, they are definitely space savers - and very pretty too :)

[@roverblue6138]

Nice .. I wish you focus more into the character of the building and not too much on the interior “stuff”. I can understand the decoration is not going to fit to your personal taste, this would be normal considering you moved into a somewhat furnished apartment. Maybe you can make more videos of the neighborhood.

[@vchanceu]

well that's my type.of house 😍

[@AndreaClare]

haha I know right! It was lovely :)

I could actually imagine myself living in it. Haha! I just stumbled upon this video, and yeah I liked it.

[@sally-annparker6744]

I thought this was a great tour and I liked the warts and all. It’s obvious that you loved and appreciated the house but also presented a realistic perspective. Refreshing after so many #blessed type of videos. 🤮. I was in Fontainebleau last year at Insead and walked around desperate to see what the houses looked like inside so this was great. I think those little things at the bottom of the upstairs fireplace might be to wipe the dirt off your shoes?

[@AndreaClare]

Thank you! I really appreciate the real deal videos of pictures/opinions when we were looking too. set me up for reality of living abroad 🥰

[@brendadrew834]

Well, over all it's quite lovely and charming though what I call "Funky" because it's not perfect and has it's drawbacks. Could be worst though! Love the backyard and have French cafe chairs like that myself on my deck here in New England not far from the beach. Also have navy couches from IKEA, where else? And recognize those little plants which I also have, small world! Love the cross beams and yes, glad they didn't paint them white. Once lived in an antique house built in 1850 and had to go through the same thing with hangers in a closet...one of the problems of older homes with limited closets/storage. Why they invented armoires! So what did you do for heat that first cold winter? Our antique house had three fireplaces all boarded up! Now I have an electric fireplace which looks real that gives off heat...remember that if and when you live with no fireplaces, they also add not only warmth, but charm as well! Can't live without fireplaces/heat when you live in the north! Merci for sharing and bon chance!

[@AndreaClare]

certianly could have been worse! I really loved that place - so cute! As far as the heating - We only showered every few days and we had to buy a small plug in heater and extra blankets to keep it comfortable! haha but it was all part of the adventure! :) It was terrible at the time but now it's fun to look back on :)

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Where did you find this place? I’m looking for a place to stay in France and this house looks perfect!

[@AndreaClare]

[@MadisonLoethen]

beautiful home!

[@AndreaClare]

Thank you! We will miss it :(

[@beccas760]

All the comments are saying you were so negative but I never thought so😂obviously a few of the things you were mentioning you didn’t like but when you stay in a place that you have a limited amount of changes you’re able to make, there are going to be things you don’t like

[@AndreaClare]

Becca F exactly! Just pointing out preferences 😊

[@kathleenbifulco8129]

Luv how are you appreciate the beauty of the old French building. I so love that blue entry door. What do you think that diamond symbol on the wall of your apartment in the backyard represents? Just decor or something meaningful & historic? Power washing is very ‘American’ - even if you did power wash, it would turn green as it’s the wetness of the place and the amount of light it gets or doesn’t get. It’s just part of the beauty of the backyard. The front wall might clean up with just a bucket and a brush. Luv ur backyard visitor who most likely is also looking for bugs to eat!

[@AndreaClare]

haha yes Wilson was fun to have around, even when he was making a mess :)

[@jeandrumm5025]

Lots of Americans do use power washers however, here in Germany ( on the German/French border) many Germans have power washers too. Kärcher is a very popular brand.

[@Kevin-sm8pn]

The building looks like it's between two other buildings, so there can only be Windows on either end of the apartments. I find it funny you were complaining about the windows in the apartment above you. If there were no windows, there would literally be no natural light in the apartment above you. So the Windows are necessary, hon, lol. You have a garden and you're complaining about the Windows above you, lol. No hate. I just find it interesting.

[@vanessaomenezes]

Hi! This is not a flirt... but... how beautiful you are... And I really loved your house in France. Congrats!

[@AndreaClare]

Vanessa's Diaries haha aw thank you! Yes, it was a beautiful place to call home 🥰

[@janecampbell4662]

Ahhh! I know this video is a bit old but I love this place so much! How far outside of Paris is it? I’ve been looking at apartments in the city but I feel like I’d like a bigger place in a small town even if there’s a bit of a commute

[@AndreaClare]

It's in a tiny town called Fontainebleau - about 40 minutes by train from Paris. A lot of people commute from Fonty to Paris everyday :)

[@louiseh3522]

So lovely little house 🏡☀️

[@AndreaClare]

thank you! We loved it too :)

so happy to have come across ur channel! i am a nursing student in the states and have wondered what nursing is like overseas! if u have practiced over there, could u please share your experience? thank u 💖

[@AndreaClare]

hi! Glad you found me too :) I haven't actually worked abroad because we haven't been in once place long enough to make it worth learning the language and taking the country's exam...sorry! not much help there :(

[@paulamariel4741]

Wow qué casa más rara! Genial!

[@ashleighsmith]

Hey! I’m a Canadian RN too, did you work while in living France?

[@AndreaClare]

I did not! We were only there for 6 months so by the time I would have been able to learn the language, take the tests and find a job - we would have been on the move again :)

[@kellinmoore2146]

I'm so in luv with this apartment!! Lucky

[@AndreaClare]

It was a beautiful space, I miss it :(
