Quiet winter days in the French countryside

[@monicagaitor6751]

The cabin, the fire, the crusty bread, the walk in the village, the chocolate chip cookies, the brewed coffee, the terrace afternoon swing... you better believe this vid. did it for me! I'm in a happy place.....

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Oh I love to hear that! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@elizabethmalone6379]

Life is beautiful at your piece of heaven, thanks to you!!

[@carinlyons9507]

I just love how you edit. Bookended with soothing music and sharing the sounds of everyday living. Really lovely.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you! 💜

[@ibindermann]

Beautiful and relaxing..even in winter in rain. Love seeing Tigrette sensibly in the house (safe) cozying up in the warm. Such a gorgeous cat.

[@cherrylwegner6292]

Once again a beautifully distracting view of the French countryside.....through your videos I have become increasingly more content with my home and the simplicity of making life uncomplicated . Thank you for that . Retirement is looming and I think a trip to France would be just the ticket ,,,,,,,thank you for your simple inspirations . Cherryl from Canada

An enchanting journey across the magical landscapes of Burgundy seen through the eyes of a connoisseur of unspoilt beauty. Truly captivating and mesmerizing. Joining you on your walks across the French countryside stopping at scenic places feels like being there in person enjoying the fresh air, the wind and rain. Eventually longing to be snug by the fire having a white coffee. You do know how to capture a moment in time and to edit it in such a captivating way that the viewer feels drawn into the scenery. 🥇😍

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you 🙏

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

@@FrenchCountryLife You deserve it. 🏆 I hope, I‘ll be able to come and stay at your cabin. 🤞🏻

Thank you for sharing! It’s an absolute pleasure to make these videos. Love hearing you enjoy them!

[@SamFournier]

This was perfect to watch with a cup of tea, so relaxing. The cabin looks so cozy and the snowfall blanketing the land is stunning. Also loved the sound of Tigrette purring😻

[@claudebernardin1096]

Hobby suggestion - find the old old farm house dumps. Dig them for Victorian bottles! They look great in windows with flowers

[@GloriaLedesma-hc5ex]

Such a beautiful country wth long winding roads, creeks and livestock. The water sources are interesting. You're always so busy doing everyday chored. You must drop dead at the end of the day. Thank you for taking me on your journey of your beautiful countryside.

[@01happykat]

What a perfect suggestion from KZbin to enjoy with my Saturday morning coffee! After a long week of work and school, your beautiful video was the perfect antidote to chaos. Thank you! :) The simplicity is calming and beautiful -- what a great reminder of what we all should long for.

[@maryschlotter108]

Thank you for sharing the beauty, peace and tranquillity in your lovely home and it’s surroundings. I am not as enthusiastic about winter either but feel I need to soak up the sun and the fresh air as much as I can. Thank you for taking us on your walk. What lucky guests to arrive to your cozy cottage lit with candlelight.

Nice to see the rainbow as you walked. Cute little village. Those 'water houses' were very interesting! Oh, those freshly baked chocolate cookies looked so good! Great video! 👍

[@davidmiller-br4bu]

Heavenly!

[@glendadegraaf8732]

A daily walk in the french countryside and then a delicious coffee by the fire! Perfection! I was wondering if you dont need screens for insects in the windows of your homes. We sure do here in Canada, but I remember Opa and Oma in Holland didn't have any either. I guess insects aren't an issue there. The tiny cabin is very inviting! Hopefully one day. 😃👋

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Hi Glenda, we DO need screens! We had them in The Netherlands and we have them here in our bedroom. The window at the end of the bed in the cabin (behind the chairs on the porch) is completely screened. We don't have as many bugs as in some places I've been to but we sure do have them and with a screened window you can leave the windows open all night and day. But it's more of a Dutch thing. It doesn't seem to be something many of my French friends do and in many French airbnbs I've been to there aren't any screens...

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Oh and would love to welcome you here if you get a chance to visit France!

So peaceful and felt like home when I lived in the country as a child❤️ Our land was used for corn one year and wheat the next. Our neighbors on one side had chickens and sold eggs while our other neighbor grew grapes for wine. Best life ever❣️Wish that I could taste those cookies! Lol😋

What a wonderful hike. How many miles did you walk and how many do you walk weekly? Also the snow and the animals so beautiful and your evening set beautiful and cozy.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

I think I walk between 4 and 6 miles per hike. Depending on what I feel like that day.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Ja we hebben hier super veel maretakken!

[@AmySmith-hh5yn]

Beautiful video. Those cookies look amazing, may I ask what recipe you used?

[@FrenchCountryLife]

A very basic one. Just 150g butter, 160g sugar (I use coconut sugar), 230g flour (I use wholemeal spelt), 1/2 tsp baking soda, pinch of salt, 2 tsp vanilla, 1 egg, 50g toasted hazelnuts, 200g chocolate chips. Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before making scoops and I baked them for about 20 minutes at 170/180 Celsius. My husband can't eat wheat and we try to find better alternatives for normal sugar. These aren't healthy but for my family they're a better option :) The recipe will be in my cookbook that's coming out later this year.

[@AmySmith-hh5yn]

@@FrenchCountryLife I have a gluten intolerance and diabetes so this is right up my alley. I’ll be looking forward to purchasing your cookbook and hopefully I will be able to get it shipped to the U.S. Thank you so much for the recipe.

[@ginacrusco234]

Bonjour! Do you know, I recently purchased an artisanal ceramic vase as a gift, and it was shipped to me completely without bubble wrap! The artisan trusted in a kind of shredded and pleated paper that worked perfectly. I wish I knew the source of this compostable resource so I could tell you!

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thanks for sharing that! Yes I know those! You need quite a bit to ship safely. I only use wrapping materials that I get from items I order for myself. I had this green bubble plastic left over from when I prepared my plants for winter. But everything else is reused from what I get sent myself. Such a shame to be throwing everything away and then having to buy something new for when I ship.

[@ginacrusco234]

@@FrenchCountryLife agreed; I do the same (much to my husband's chagrin). Could you wrap up some of those cookies and send them to me in NY? Just kidding, but they look so good.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

@@ginacrusco234 Haha! We ate them all! :)

[@pwilliams6405]

Where do you get your wood from ? A local firewood delivery,if so how much per cubic metre please thanks Paul :)

[@FrenchCountryLife]

local yes! it’s quite a search and getting more difficult to find and more expensive. Around 50 - 60€ depending on where you get it and rising.

[@pwilliams6405]

@@FrenchCountryLife It's about the same here in Victoria Australia $100-130 aud a cubic metre for mixed and about $180-200 for red gum which burns longer. I wanted a heads up, if timber can be delivered and for what price,so I can be prepared for when I finally establish myself in my new home in a quiet village. I will be making the move around March/April 2024 and I cannot wait !!!! Really appreciate you replying back with those prices and options kind regards Paul

Hoi Marloes, Wij (de youtube kijkers van aan de franse slag) moesten van Olav aan jou de volgende vraag stellen..... WAAROM BROCANTE DEURTJES?????? Dus bij deze, ik dacht laat ik nu de eerste zijn voordat iedereen deze vraag gaat stellen. 😂😂😂😉 P.S. Leg je het Olav ook even uit😂😂😉

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Haha! Waarom spuuglelijke deurtjes uit de winkel?! De qualiteit en stijl van Franse bouwmaterialen is wat dat betreft om te huilen. Dus daar word ik echt niet blij van 😭 Maar de echte reden is natuurlijk dat Olav wel wat te filmen moet houden 🤣
