[@bonniebob2802]

That 3rd house was amazing. Who cares if you have to walk an extra 5-10 minutes for town?

[@mpdg11]

A friend also bought a wind-mill place in France (invested loads for reno though!), about 20mins walk to town/only bakery nearby... and its a lovely french countryside walk. But... there are people who think even 10mins walk is far...

[@millena___]

no! you can always update your house but never change location! that's what matters in a property

[@dazem8]

Most episodes these buyers flip flop so much. I want space but I want to be in town i also want quirky but modern too ... actually annoys me sometimes lol

[@alfonsotorres4580]

Americans always believe a 20 minute walk is too far, they are use to having cars around because in the U.S. is the most unwalkable country on earth.

[@lavinder11]

​@@alfonsotorres4580Please I'm in Paris rn and these people would die if they lived 10 mins away from a boulangerie

[@gmfitzg]

they're both annoying in their own different ways. Perfect couple lol

[@1mourningdove54]

I will agree with your first sentence.............

[@Cindy-by3ho]

Whiney

[@katbar6066]

@@Cindy-by3ho I was going to say they both has extremely irritating voices.

[@jacquelinevanfossan7007]

I don't quite understand the need to BUY a house in any country before having a full understanding of what the culture, the system, the housing, etc. actually are. There are plenty of apartments to rent while getting used to the environment. But it's just my opinion based on having lived in several different countries. The third house had lot its charm but would have been a lot quieter than in the middle of town. But, to each his own.

[@colettewithlove]

Number 3 all the way! that view after dinner with wine, beautiful!

[@evegreenification]

Can't see over the wall when sitting down

[@elodieelvira7913]

the last house was definitely te better choice, although it had been striped of all the charm, because let me tell you, the noise they will get in the high season coupled with te weird layout is going to drive them nuts. Like true tourists, they didn't understand that being so close to the touristic area is a nightmare for te peace of mind

[@prairiedoggy1]

A little of him goes a long way.

[@BringANickel]

And her voice.

[@LottaCrapola]

yup, he's super annoying

[@mistercritter]

"When we walk out the door, where is the culture of France?" said the man in France.

[@MPPG663]

Yeah, that was a little cringe.

[@wiseonwords]

@mistercritter - Yes, it was a truly moronic comment!

[@eeccee11]

😂😂😂

[@MarianneInmarsilia]

Village houses are always quirky and a WC outside on a courtyard or balcony is typical too in France, Italy, Spain in old houses

[@abundancelivingtv1271]

I like the turn key home with 3 bedrooms.

[@marianalvarado4193]

I thought for sure they would choose house # 3. It was so much nicer than the other two!

[@cindydiab904]

I agree. When I saw that first shot of the bathroom it had towels on the shelf but the second shot showed it empty. So I thought for sure they had picked that house and the towels were theirs.

[@maurawhelan3530]

No 3 hard to beat I thought too…walking into a dining room could be changed. no 2 bathroom next to kitchen and walking through one bedroom to get to the next would be deal breakers for me…I would need outdoor space too. I thought kitchen could be fixed up by just adding cabinets. All basics appliances were there. enjoyed the episode.Pricier than I expected given no real exterior property.

[@wiseonwords]

@abundanclivingtv1271 - Yes, indeed. That would have been the sensible choice. But I guess it was too far from the "culture of France"! LOL!

[@prissilou]

Americans might need a speed course on Europe 101. I lived in Germany for 6 years as I was growing up, and traveled extensively in Europe, and homes in Europe are different than in the US. One of the first homes I lived in was a German farmhouse, very small fridge as alot of perishables were stored outside on the windowsill. Also only 1 or 2 rooms kept warm, the majority not. Rooms are not laid out the way we do them here in the States. If you decide to move to Europe (if I win the big one I'll be gone in a heartbeat) either adopt the European lifestyle or take LOTS OF CASH. But all in all, I love Europe.

[@darrellw.matodes6898]

What a painful couple

[@marybarry2230]

I like his attitude! He sees the glass half full instead of half empty! If he doesn’t like something, he knows he can change it! I like that

[@terretulsiak]

And he is a 'private pooper' who needs to noodle on it for a while..

[@annahkmon]

SHOCKED by the place they chose, the ceilings are so low! I did love the location though. I would have picked second place and added a wall and reno outdoor bathroom nicer with a shower. Third place was the nicest but the location is too quiet for this couple!

[@RoseBornagain]

they are both very short so maybe for them was not a problem..Third place was the best.

[@wisdomvsknowledge7662]

This is a couple that definitely seems to balance each other

[@lolah3838]

A bedroom with a bathroom open fully into it is not what anyone would call "romantic" 😄 I don't know how the woman puts up with that man's energy but good for her LOL.

[@santabarbarahomesliving591]

Why do I continue to love this shows even though they ALWAYS buy the house BEFORE taping?! Then I get mad at the house that the “didn’t choose” even though it was never really an option?! Ugh. I like to be punished I guess 😅

[@ngahuiroimatanutira-langda4153]

Im the same. Often the other options are not even for sale lol

[@mencot89]

The couple can’t be more different 😂 but as rambunctious as he is, he didnt cut her over or anything. Cute couple

[@wiseonwords]

@mencot89 - They were an exceptionally annoying couple!

[@seedsoflove7684]

If anything, she lorded over him. In spanish we say el fue pisado.

[@isabelreyes6387]

I like watching the giant agent show just how low the ceilings are 😂

[@seedsoflove7684]

She was very tall

[@legoqueen2445]

It was funny watching her stoop to get in while these deux petite amusee infants just stroll through!

[@kardinalcareokekylexy5738]

She's Beautiful.

[@lisap.1826]

I ❤ house #3! I think their choice fits his personality.

[@DanKohan]

It's been quite a journey for you two! I'm so glad you found the perfect house in the end. That minimalist house in the center of town is really special, and I'm sure you'll have a great time living there.

[@dianasargent4861]

Fun couple, thought they made good decision. All 3 houses were interesting. Loved seeing the homes and little village , yes ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Happyharold666]

oh lord. The 'exposed wires' are for. you to attach your wall sconce lamps or whatever to. Sheesh

[@joannharrington2279]

The 3rd house was nice. It was quirky with the 3rd bedroom. This house gives you space and no toilet by the bathtub.

[@valynteena]

The 3rd house was a better option but between the 1st and 2nd, i would choose the 1st too. I could simply add a shower and drain in the downstairs toilet and put a sofa bed in the living room for guests. Upstairs could be a bedroom for the couple and future kids.

[@deborahminniefield5078]

Playing for Change !! I love, respect, and share their music !!

[@heathersmith8549]

I’m glad they got the one that they did. It provided the lifestyle they were after

[@shru1014]

I would have chosen the third one by miles.

[@JuliaKapp]

House three! They had me at the terrace!❤

[@jchi9341]

Thank God he's not tearing walls down yet. But kudos to them for making the move!!

[@masselahouston3238]

I’m shocked they chose that house over the completely modern turnkey house . House #3 was beautiful

[@barbaracameron5610]

Love house hunters! Thanks for being on fb!!

[@Leonasambongo]

All 3 homes were amazing. For charm i would pick, 1 but i really love 3 also

[@marjorjorietillman856]

I’m so glad she finally let him make a suggestion. IMO, all the houses had pros and cons, but I preferred the turnkey #3, but they made a good choice!!❤

[@samanthab1923]

This is a really cool town. Just watched a couple from Positano I follow stop there. Great swimming in the river.

[@DavidJohnson-dc8lu]

The personality of this couple was like watching a quirky off beat comedy show, they both could get work in Hollywood.

[@legoqueen2445]

I'd watch that! Maybe just them settling into their new home! They were wholesome and quirky. I'd like an episode where he goes on a search for the culture in France.

[@johnleebass]

10:15 seriously that fridge door, flip the opening side 😂😂

[@Nightbird.]

What a cute and adorable husband! And the fact that he likes to build things is the icing on the cake. I would buy a house with him and let him build my dreams. Lucky wife!

[@Snug-the-Joiner]

Biden-voter eh?

[@gaynorprice-jones1826]

Judging by her reaction every time he suggested DIY he's probably really rubbish.

[@llc1976]

Third house is awfully nice

[@none5185]

houses are all small with low ceilings. liked house 3 the best - but no place to even park your car.......i would prefer the quiet at night and not all the noise from the street.

[@yamilehearn8211]

As an American, I'm so embarressed about comments made from future tenants in Europe. They only complain and complain!! They are not use to how others live in the world. As Americans, we are use to space, money, etc....that's not what is important in other countries....FAMILY is. This wife only complained. Get over it.

[@angeronalove5799]

Same. Why do Americans expect American-style houses in foreign countries? It's mindboggling and offensive.

[@jenniferlawrence9598]

The producers make them do it for “drama”. I’m getting really sick of it. Remember they’ve already bought house 1 when they film this so they make her complain about the house they already bought.

[@keagleeagle821]

Number 3 is the best

[@Wkmor]

Love the fabric of the saleswoman’s dress. But great houses too

[@margaretames6522]

I’m so glad I can choose what I like and not be concerned about another person’s opinion! I don’t want it to be like an American home - or I’d look in the U.S.!

[@annanajduch5201]

Good choice!! I liked this episode a lot. Nice quirky charming homes. I wish i could live there. Better start learning French.

[@asyat3544]

charming, but where is heating? on winters theese area is very windy and cold. everything is so dated...

[@membear]

One bedroom leading into another would not even be legal in the US since it would be a hazard if there was a fire.

[@Snug-the-Joiner]

Thanks heaven that's over. Lady seems pleasant, grounded and mature ; I don't see her tolerating Mr.Ever-in-auditioning-mode much longer. Fingers crossed, Pittsburgh!

[@membear]

either those people are small or that lady is a giant.

[@kitty_s23456]

I think the RE agent is a very tall person. I've seen her in another vid - she was also much taller than the house hunter lady. This must've been an old episode since prices are much higher now.

[@xxxx-qo9dh]

No. 2 is definitely my pick

[@lidiawolanskyj5560]

I would use the upstairs bedroom as the master bedroom.

[@LL-vk9zc]

Why do people from USA call a WC/Utility room a bathroom when there's no bath?

[@karenweaver134]

Because that is the description of such a room in the U.S. just lost in translation 😊

[@lavinder11]

Because we don't have toilets separate from the bathroom, so we call it bathroom

[@katelynn767]

The layouts of these homes are very weird.

[@michelezeigler6167]

I like house #3.

[@sanzeakatesoul]

It would’ve been cool if we could’ve seen the two other bathrooms on the last house…

[@katieallynsmith5598]

Who’s gonna tell her?

[@ebonynerd]

Absolutely not ~Rachel to Andy the builder 😂😂😂😂😂 6:55 The 3rd house was amazing because they will spend more than $10,000 to fix up the other 2 houses choices

[@teddysdadcory]

Ugh… The South of France, for $160k less than our house in CA… when can we move? 😩

[@L.Spencer]

I was wondering if you own a house, does that make it easier to get a visa?

[@NYCHeartandSoul]

Overlooking the river???!!!! There is a very good chance that house flooded during the huge inundation that roared through Vaison and washed away bridges. The Roman bridge, seen in one of the shots, stood, but the railings were swept away. A definite no, unless they get thorough information about the former flood and future risks. J'ai passé pas mal de temps dans cette région, je dirais au total six mois. Je comprends bien que l'émission n'est que de la "télé-réalité", mais il vaudrait mieux louer un appartement pendant un an pour qu'ils aient le temps de réfléchir.

[@LaraSierra28]

Between the whiny voices and the demands, this couple embody the American attitudes that make me want to apologize to my French family when I visit from the US.

Whining is part of French culture, I'm sure your parents couldn't care less.
