We moved to France and found our home on French Riviera

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you a quick story about how we moved to France and started our life here. Then we figured out how to buy an apartment in Menton. So we renovate an old apartment in very beautiful French house from Belle Époque, I have some photos and videos to share.
Hope you will enjoy watching it🤗

Wow! A 'rags to riches' fairytale with a lot of renovations in between! Isn't it amazing how much people can accomplish with a dream and some old-fashioned elbow grease?! Such a beautiful, inspirational story with a happy ending - or is it? What does the future hold now that you have completed what you set out to do? (I hope it involves filmmaking, storytelling & photography) Thank you so much for sharing!

[@frenchvibes7604]

Hello, you are absolutely right! Thank you for saying it this way:) And yes, in the near future I hope to have more time to create, learn more about photography and editing and other things I do not even know yet:)

Thank you for the video's. They are just the right length, interesting and appealing. In fact, quite inspiring, as I would love to visit the area. I haven't visited the south of France for some years. Keep them coming. Perhaps this year. Long time since I walked on the sea front at Menton. Thanks again

[@frenchvibes7604]

Bonjour, Kevin, thank you for your words! Oh you must have a lovely souvenirs from that time, its change a little bit, but still off the season its is pure and perfect!

[@helanalurie9962]

Wow, you have experienced so many interesting places where you stayed and that you visited! Just to show hard work pays off. Clearly, Chris is very handy and that helps a lot! Respect to you that also do your part in renovating each project. 20 years ago, we also bought a house and renovated it. The things we were able to do ourselves...! I told my husband I don't think my body can take huge renovations anymore. Got older and unfit...😊 Thank you for sharing!
