Mandy Murphy has chatted with me on the Loulabelle’s FrancoFiles previously with her husband Willo Renehan to talk all about her gorgeous home La Maison Trumeau in Saumur in the Loire Valley. Mandy and Willo were inspired by Dick & Angel on Escape to the Château, and made the decision after Brexit to buy property in France, which they are making their permanent home.

Mandy introduced me in this podcast episode to her colleague Camilla Degerth who has made 12 international relocations (so far). Camilla shares her knowledge of what it takes to move from one part of the globe to another. She shares a global mindset, but she also brought up some of the main issues that relocation can bring, and it's not all about the French bureaucracy.

This year Mandy and Camilla are hosting a coaching retreat for those thinking about or already making the move to Europe to work through the issues that intended relocators face. Camilla says one of the hardest challenges people face when moving internationally is loneliness, especially if there's a language barrier. In their retreat that focuses on landing in France successfully, attendees will delve deeply to find what they really want and they can do that in France.

Sometimes what we truly want isn't clear until we start making the dream a reality. So come and dream away with us as we escape to France momentarily.

Paris is a city that lives in the hearts of people from around the world and has so many movies set there. I've also found loads of movies or shows that use Paris as a backdrop and I love searching as I watch for glimpses of places I've been in the French capital.

If you love Paris and love films, Ruby Boukabou has a new book out The Movie Lover's Guide to Paris, which takes the reader on a journey through Paris, exploring the city through the lens of over 200 movies. Discovering Paris with this book, you'll find cafés, cinemas, streets, iconic landmarks, as well as the hidden corners that have appeared on the silver screen for over a century. In this episode of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles, Ruby takes us on a petit meander through Paris along the Seine, highlighting the sites that have appeared in a number of well-known movies.

Go to the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles website to blogpost 196 to find the link for Ruby's dedicated Google map, then follow along as you listen to the chat!

Join us and escape to France momentarily...

Tapping into Elisabeth's local knowledge during this chat uncovered a number of places in Paris and France that I'd not heard of, but I am now adding to my list! If you want to find quirky but yet authentic places to add to your itinerary when planning a French visit then tune into this episode for lots of inspiration!
