What type of videos do you want to see as a part of this new adventure? 🇫🇷 Let me know in the comments!

[@bibliophilebakes4244]

Excited for anything but would love to see a day in the life video in France ❤️

[@mayurmahajan2198]

Life style of France people, their culture and you learning and teaching us French!!! PS. I’m also learning French and it’s difficult 😥

[@gili8850]

I'd like to know what's the French grad school application process like!

[@karteee]

Please post about french culture and reviews about latest french movies

[@missyps]

I would love walkthroughs of your area especially the ones you love

[@annemaxwell9975]

Well done, you will never regret the move, whatever the outcome or length of stay. Bless 🙏

[@Elizabeth-qy3zk]

Brave move and good luck to you. France is beautiful and the people are lovely.

[@hellonicolette]

❤️

[@ishdelville]

Welcome in my country and in your new country, and good luck for your studies.

[@hellonicolette]

Merci!

[@ruthstepakoff6930]

Would love a video about your process getting into a grad school in France!

[@annekennedy8127]

Could be difficult... ' When you say "I'm like"...I don't think you will get accepted...they require a much higher level of English language ability....

[@kyraskye5880]

MTV cribs: sassy French Airbnb edition is exactly what I needed in my life- love it!

[@jacobwigley9720]

Wishing you all the best with it! I lived in France for a number of years and I love the French culture and language through and through. Have an amazing time!

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you!!

[@anthony14rmg]

I want to see everything. My husband and I have toyed with moving to France. I am a designer and my dream would be for us to buy a derelict chateau, fix it up and run my business out of it. Anything you can share like the cost of everyday things, especially compared to U.S. prices would be great. Are you planning on staying even after your studies are over? Have a blast! ~Kirstin

[@hellonicolette]

Wow, I love that idea! Have you seen Escape to the Chateau? Every time I watch it I want to buy my own rundown chateau in the French countryside and renovate... Perhaps after school haha. + Yes, I definitely want to do a video about pricing/budgeting. Once I'm more into a routine I'll aim to film that! ❤️

[@natishamosier921]

I would also love more information on everyday budgeting ❤ enjoy!!!

[@hervedupont6955]

Bonjour, je viens de lire votre commentaire je vous invite à regarder la télévision française CANAL TNT → CHÉRIE 25 RÉNOVATION XXL : BIENVENUE AU CHÂTEAU Dick et angel un couple anglais.

[@bibliophilebakes4244]

Wow congrats I’m so excited for you!

[@melaniesein7042]

Congrats Nicolette!!!!

[@valeriehardee3665]

You go! Anyone who takes such a brave act is my hero! I wish you all the best. I also love French culture and would love to make such a change in my life.

[@hellonicolette]

😊❤️

[@mauraronda1265]

Wow. So happy for you. Enjoy every minute!

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@imsojazzed]

Felicitation Nicolette! You are an inspiration to make such a gutsy move alone and at your young age. I admire you and wish you all that is purely magical in the one country where my heart lingers!

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! ❤️

[@margot5796]

yay very exciting, i would love to see art school content! Good luck with everything!

[@hellonicolette]

Ooh yes! I'll definitely have to create some art school vlogs 😊

[@trianadrozd2358]

Proud of you! Feels like we were speaking French together just yesterday. Toulouse is my favorite. Let’s talk again soon

[@hellonicolette]

Merciiii 💕 And yes! Feel free to message me 😊

[@Devanbree]

Wow! Congratulations, on your move. Good luck to you and I think it’s so excellent you are loving out your dreams

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! 🥰❤️

[@lindawentink2725]

Just subscribed. Cant wait to follow your story. So envious🥰

[@conniehsaum4065]

I am excited to be with you through your journey. Thank you for the invite.

[@georgianaandrone3036]

Congratulations!! So excited for you! Best of luck in your new adventure! P.S. I also moved to Prague without ever visiting the city first... and I love it!

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! And oh how cool!! ❤️

[@dawngensler820]

I am a new subscriber and love your dry wit. I would love to hear about your story on how you just moved to France to go to grad school. Love the penthouse tour 😄

[@missyps]

I would love a space like that to live in! You don’t have to spend all your time cleaning it and instead get out and live the sweet life! I’m so jojo

[@runawaytechgal1467]

Is this your apartment? So adorable! Best to you for being courageous enough to make the move! Enjoy each moment...even the frustrating ones.

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! This was the Airbnb I stayed in while looking for an apartment. But I just posted a tour of the apartment I live in now! 😊

[@karanordenstrom2598]

this is so amazing. it’s something im going to do i just don’t know where to start

[@sunnni_]

Found this video on my search for videos about France. Definitely a dream to live here one day. Good Luck!!

[@hellonicolette]

😊❤️

[@TheAllnighterFilm]

Love it!

[@hellonicolette]

😊❤️

[@fp2374]

Toulouse the pink city is nice, best of luck there we have visited many times, from a Franco-American from Bretagne!!

[@shotsndocs]

So glad i found your channel. Subbed! ❤️

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you! Welcome 😊❤️

[@izzydemattos186]

Love the perched toilet

[@hellonicolette]

😂

[@josezeroual8335]

Bonjour 👋 superbe vidéo merci beaucoup 👍💋❤️🇫🇷

[@21khorn]

So funny that the tried to go through those roof windows. I would've done the same.

[@keyessence]

Okay, this is perfect! My BF and I want to move abroad, but are still deciding where. He wants to live in Perth, Aus. But I’ve heard nothing but all about the bugs, spiders, and pests! I’ve been thinking about Toulouse, but my dream is to live in European meadow countryside lol. He’s never been to Europe, so we’ll be planning a trip to both places as soon as we can. I can’t wait to see more of your journey!!

[@hellonicolette]

How exciting! I hope the trip goes well 😊 (P.S. Yes I feel the same way about Australia...it looks so beautiful, but I'm not a fan of spiders and large insects haha)

[@SofiaGonzalez777]

This is the coolest

[@leslieannehill6880]

So now that it has been a year, how are you? How is uni? How is your French now. I hope all is tres bon!

[@hellonicolette]

It's been wonderful! I actually posted a 1-year update video on my channel. Overall loving France and very happy with my decision. 💕

[@ylezama-artes1919]

That is fantastic. The most important thing at this moment is you are making your dream real. Second you are so young so make the best use of your time, your life and what you have now and ahead of you, just think today is the most fantastic day of my life. Thrird everything in life has a price meaning effort, work tenacity, constance, creativity and more so just take it easy. And last l wish l were there in France too. Have fun and be happy. And please please if possible share some of the techniques you learn in the school. I am an artist without a license so l learn by watching videos, books, and practicing of course.

[@johnpisse29]

bienvenue dans la ville rose . ✌️

[@simonbanda5097]

I wish I travelled with you.

[@vintagemoss9578]

I love France

[@101life9]

We are in the same boat. Questions back to you. What do you want to see? Where do you want to go? I will follow you ...

[@annekennedy8127]

Well done...so glad you can do this by yourself, without the help of parents....Hope you can take a course in English language though...it might help your application for the high level of European education....

[@UnPetitPeuFitness]

Hi I just watched your video very interesting. I am trying to move to France myself. I wanted to know how much is a good budget to make the move happen? I would really like to make this happen before the year ends.I would really appreciate any tips and helps regarding job searching and visa.

[@kg7219]

because youtube took away the upload date i have no idea when this was uploaded so apologies if this is late but i am curious abt housing prices (i know u discussed that in the video but id love to hear ur perspective after being there for a minute) and also how much french do i need to kno to get by?! i took like 3 years of french in high school and took 1 french class in college so i feel i have a basic understanding of the language, i feel like i could survive like i know how to ask where the bathroom is lmfao... but i am curious abt how many french people speak any amt of english, since i visited italy and switzerland in like 2012 and a lot of people spoke english but those that didnt knew a bit of french so i was able to get by in the 3 weeks i was there!!

[@jannellmcbride1922]

Did you look into student housing to satisfy the housing requirements for the student visa?

[@jml4774]

I want to see brocantes and know what life is like in Toulouse.

[@pierluigiranalli429]

brava bravissima

[@abbasdarwiche5590]

I am a US citizen living in California, I was wondering about the way to move and work in France? Any thoughts / help ?

[@elizabethwilk9615]

You need to get your legal papers in order. Good luck with their bureaucracy.

[@joyfullypacinglife8847]

How much is the rent for an apartment for one person?

[@tinahindi]

What can you do with a fine art degree?

[@PapaMama-tx5xy]

Conto ti ami

[@sidjadhav9221]

🇮🇳❤️

[@wildflowerwind6941]

You have guts.

[@azizpunkmetal]

Would you be able, one day, to post a video entirely spoken in French ?

[@annekennedy8127]

Doubt that very much - she has great difficulty with the English language...

[@swizz0rcs]

ur lovely

[@lavkumarpal780]

Hello ma'am hello ma'am how are you I very very like your video

[@hellonicolette]

Thank you ❤️

[@sfbluesboy]

Wow! What was the first song/disc you played upon arriving? Turn it up and drive your neighbors crazy!

[@vanessaamaya93]

I desperately want to live in France, I just want to leave my country to permanently avoid these high school teachers. I do not want to see them again….

[@bm4867]

Have you met sexy French men 🤣 sorry that’s what I think of in France

[@wave5009]

Why does it look like a third world country

[@Noella65]

This is not a typical French apartment and not a typical European bathroom. You have rented a cheap crap apartment and now you present it as European style of living. 🙄😖 Still, good luck with everything. FYI we do not call our education cheap. EU countries are welfare countries where education is available to all of us and we are so proud of our welfare societies. Good luck with that typical US attitude.

[@WhisperzVerse]

Calm down 👀

[@annekennedy8127]

Yes...I agree....she obviously could not get accepted by US university....her command of the English language is atrocious...she won't be able to manage the high standards of European education....even high school level...
