Jeff and Julie Move to France (during a global pandemic)

Come and join us for a walk through the historic village of VillerAal in Southwest France. And you'll meet some new friends of ours from Belgium. We met through this very podcast. You can't get more like-minded than that.

On today's show, we explore the Truffle. Specifically from France Truffe, a farm very close to us here in Southwest France. We also have more on the St. James pilgrimage walking trails.

Today we travel to Auvillar, another of France's Most Beautiful Villages.

And you won't believe how a France village is attacking the problem of dog poop.

After years of trying, Penne D'agenais finally has the distinction of being included as one of France's Most Beautiful Villages. We talk about that. And my Brother John drops by with some thoughts on his first visit here.

Come and visit the charming village of Pujols here in Southwest France.

We also talk garbage badges and French rioters. So fun!

If you're thinking of relocating to Europe, you'll want to know all about the Golden Visas. We talk about the most welcoming countries. Also, a wrap on our two-part voyage down the Douro River in Portugal.

In this week's chapter, we navigate the Douro river in Portugal with friends and some help from Uniworld River Cruises.

Maybe we should just move to Dordogne. In this week's chapter, we take in the amazing Gardens of Marqueyssac in Vezac. Also, the good, bad and ugly from the Nova Scotia wild-fires.

From the live birds of prey show, to the brasserie, gardens and chapel, and finally to the Chateau des Milandes itself, our visit to the former home of Josephine Baker was an absolute thrill.

Well, it was worth the wait. We finally got around to visiting beautiful Belves and it did not disappoint. They had Troglodytes you know.
