South of France House Tour Series Ep.1 (you won't believe the price!)

[@lorrieleaver2447]

Everyone has shutters so they are pretty easy to add or replace. Don’t let the put you off buying your perfect home!

[@SeanKobiSandoval]

The Dutch are not Scandinavian 😅

[@evavoinigescu]

Whoops! You got me. Turns out they may have been Danish not Dutch in the end anyways😅

[@articulatedsource]

OMG! I stayed in this house too only for one night. They said it was for sale and that was years ago. Loved the house, loved the little town and at the time they had a little pub there with live music and great drinks! I still think of Puivert! But alas, I chose to move to the riveria.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

I've been looking at houses I could buy in France and the prices are not too bad.

[@ericawarner8342]

Please slow down the camera movement.

[@pawlieblog7967]

Love the floor tile in dining room and the backsplash in kitchen-charming! Aude is part of Occitanie, on the opposite side of the Mediterranean coast from Nice and the Côte d’Azur, which tends to be much more expensive than Occitanie. Love the price, super home!! Scandinavian design has NOTHING to do with Dutch people from the Netherlands (aka “Holland”), generally.

[@heathermcrobert9779]

Pretty good size and all for the price. So much cheaper than North America!!!!

[@evavoinigescu]

I know!

[@kailasac6532]

Please don't make more videos! All these North Americans buying up houses with their spare money make it much more difficult for us now here in Europe, we just don't earn enough to compete 😅 Nice house btw ❤

[@ec2402]

@@kailasac6532 Yeah exactly. Europe already has a housing crisis and foreigners buying up property just makes it worse.

This house is gorgeous!

[@alexlanious3248]

Hi, very interesting, thank you! Could you please post some houses in Carcassonne?

[@evavoinigescu]

I don't have any right now but next time we visit!

[@TakeTimeToTravel]

Love this house! I’ve subscribed so that I can follow along on your KZbin journey :)

[@evavoinigescu]

Thank you! Happy to hear that. Just working on editing the next house right now :)

[@florentinalily]

thanks for the vlog, interesting to follow your journey. Have a look at Mirepoix and the area around there; its a thriving town, very french and local and doesn't become a dormitory in the winter like some of the villages on the plains beyond carcassonne. Some of the houses up towards the pyrenees are really off track and of course you can't see the Pyrenees if you are sitting in a crack under them.. 😁

[@redwoods7370]

Lovely. Top notch interior decor.

[@yuriyzenda5857]

This is exactly what I was looking for (the area, and the filming/walk through plus pricing).... I was eagerly expecting the other 11 houses that you said you saw, but your video ended with just this one 😢... will subscribe to see the rest.

[@brigittebeche4117]

This part of France is very nice indeed...what about the water supply in the long...short run in that part of the country...?

[@evavoinigescu]

That's a good question! I'm not an expert in that :)

[@brigittebeche4117]

I am no expert on that subject either...yet I think lots of French people are rather concerned about the subject in this undeniably beautiful part of our country... I am glad you like our country !

[@florentinalily]

I live in the area and there has been drought throughout france for the past two years but this year all the aquafers are full or nearly full. As it is within the rain shadow of the pyrenees we have been lucky in this area not to have suffered as badly as the rest of france. Climate is most certainly a consideration and the areas East of Carcassonne have become unbearable in the summer months.

[@brigittebeche4117]

@@florentinalily I fully agree with you on that point. My son’s inlaws live there...terrible in the summer.

[@patriciagroth2015]

It would really be helpful if you gave us American's the price in US dollars? Thanks! OMG....I can't believe you rejected that place! Beautiful!

[@lljazz1]

This house has so much potential if you have the money to fix it up. Please say 210 euros not euro. Thanks for sharing.

[@pameladavenport1647]

love the house , kitchen area needs a rethink but on the whole great 👍

[@carmerine]

Can anyone suggest a site for searching rentals in France, like the Spanish have Idealista?

[@evavoinigescu]

I'm working on a free PDF with resources for searching for homes and rentals in France, stay tuned!

[@florentinalily]

Greene Acres and Leboncoin. the latter all the french estate agents promote their houses on.

[@greenshp]

Eva, if you are still house-hunting... there is a little 2 BR in Caunes Minervois that is GORGEOUS and the price great. Just stumbled upon it. The town is a great location - you're near Provence but also near the Pyrenees and Spain. Nearest substantial town is Carcassonne (!) and the city of Toulouse nearby. The city of Avignon would be near as well. If I were looking I would definitely love this one! (There is a KZbin video.)

[@evavoinigescu]

Oh, please share the link to the video! We are still looking :)

[@greenshp]

@@evavoinigescu Here it is. It's small, but just adorable. Again, I cannot recommend the location enough - don't know how familiar you are with France's geography. If I had to do it myself, I would look at the Southwest - the Pyrenees region; it is lovely and less touristy and the pricing will be much lower! Or also the Dordogne region and Auvergne. Less expensive, more beauty! Good luck Eva! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZqZaJmFnt9moZY&ab_channel=AndrewGuck-LeggettImmobilierInternational

How do you finance homes in France as an American? Can retirees get a mortgage?

[@florentinalily]

no. you pay cash.

[@thehungrygoldfish]

Cash😊

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I agree! Sadly, I find that too grating to continue watching.

[@pubdefendr]

Hi. A bit off topic, do you know any good websites that are not Airbnb where you can find houses in France to rent short term?

[@evavoinigescu]

You could try facebook groups or if you google short term rentals France a whole bunch of websites come up

[@marcojimenez5555]

Either sold, taken off the market or rented out. 😮

[@evavoinigescu]

Yep! I do say that in the video. Some of my other tours are of homes that are still available.

[@donsarde]

C'est la ville de Nîmes, pas très loin de Montpellier.

[@evavoinigescu]

One of the opening clips is from Nimes, but the house is in Aude, in Puivert.

[@gwenmcgrath6668]

Hi how much did you pay for it please ☺

[@evavoinigescu]

I didn't buy it! Price is at the end of the video:)

[@francoisvola3611]

Village house with possible indesirable neighbours, the problem is the police doesn't do anything about that, we did that and won't ever do it again. My advice, get a separate house not a village house!

[@nata3467]

sold

[@rf7490]

The bed is queen size and not king size

[@faramarzmokri9136]

You would need as a minimum 100 K Euros to make it livable. In my opinion.

[@arthurrodin2228]

Ditto: The Dutch are not Scandinavian.

[@yvesderival634]

Who are they ?

[@davidryle1164]

You repeatedly make comments about the Dutch owners and Scandinavia, you really need to learn that the people of the Benelux and Scandinavian people are very different.

[@evavoinigescu]

If you bothered to read the comment below you you would see that I corrected myself.

[@davidryle1164]

@evavoinigescu good for you, I mean it.

[@joedonzi9552]

Very well done - Eva your practical and straight forward style is very refreshing - I have grown so tired of house/apartment tour guides that want to use up 30 minutes of my very valuable time , cram 13 hyperbolic adjectives into every sentence and then never mention the asking price - please continue on your present course - Cheers from Miami Beach Florida , joey d.

[@evavoinigescu]

Thanks Joey! I appreciate an efficient tour myself. I'm working towards more aesthetic shots but the reality is I filmed these quickly on an iphone as a real buyer touring these houses. Hopefully on my next trip I'll have a chance to provide slightly snazzier footage that does these houses justice.

[@FrankLloydDobler]

@@evavoinigescu impressive that you filmed this with an iPhone! Are you also using a gymbal? The moving shots look so smooth.

[@Hippy2021]

I used to love France and planned to move to retire in Bordeaux or ceret. But my last trip in September, just last month totally changed my mind. France is good for vacation, a short visit, but not for a permanent place to stay specially if you already have a decent living in the US, California. I can never cope with a country where service everywhere is slow or not at all, France is still a very poor country besides being known a place for tourism. After the covid pandemic, France specially Paris could hardly recover from the slow crashed economy that makes them hungry of money from American USD. We were scammed by the Metro system in Paris by the Metro security staff for a fine of 100 euros on bought tickets. No scanning, no checking on validity of my tickets, they pulled my credit card from my hand like bandits to rob us, in front of their supervisor. I reported to my Bank and this is my last visit to France. How could we trust to live a peaceful life in a such lawless country? There's no way and nowhere to make a complaint as all we could hear is "I am not the one who did it". Does law exist in France?????
