In this episode, we share what life has been like for us living in France. From dealing with the hot summer without air conditioning to finding great coffee spots, we talk about the ups and downs of everyday life. We also tell fun behind-the-scenes stories from our recent trips to Paris and London—like tasty food, funny rental check-ins, and enjoying the flowers at the Chelsea Flower Show.

We talk about what it’s like raising twin toddlers during the long French school breaks, a recent health scare that reminded us how thankful we are for good healthcare, and we answer your questions about things like family activities, safety in southern France, and if it’s better to rent or buy a home here. You’ll hear honest thoughts, some laughs, and tips for living (and thriving) as expats.
