  So very true, everything you need is 5 miles away. Services are migrating away from villages and small towns. Surviving without a car gets ever more difficult as driving gets ever more expensive.

  Without doubt your the best &nbsp;&quot;move to/live in&quot; France advise on the internet, the actual reality not the &quot;dream&quot; . <br>Your the real deal, not one of the hundreds of self appointed experts &nbsp;on all things France /French after being here &nbsp;a couple of years. We&apos;ve lived here 26 years, and still find helpful advise in your videos, plus your a very amusing cat lover with a great turn of phrase.

  I am very happy and proud to announce that my new book, &quot;Unmoored&quot;, is now available. This is the English translation of my French short novel &quot;Les Illusions itinérantes&quot; published about a year ago. <br>As I was translating it, I also took the opportunity to add content at the end of the book, absent from the French edition. This is therefore the definitive version of that book and story. <br>In addition to the paperback edition, it is also available in hardcover format. Full transparency: if you intend to purchase the book, don&apos;t get the hardcover if your only reason for doing so is &quot;I want Johnny to make more money&quot;. The higher price tag is actually due to a higher printing cost, not royalties. So only get the hardcover if you do want the &quot;nicer looking&quot; edition. <br>Finally, please note this is a &quot;serious&quot; fiction, so don&apos;t go in expecting my silly YouTube persona. I just don&apos;t want you to be disappointed. <br>If you go ahead and give the book a chance, I really do hope you will have an interesting reading experience, and feel free to leave your review online. <br>Here are the links to get the book: <br> <br>United States: <a href="http://amazon.com/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.com/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>United Kingdom: <a href="http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.co.uk/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>France: <a href="http://amazon.fr/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.fr/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Germany: <a href="http://amazon.de/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.de/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Spain: <a href="http://amazon.es/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.es/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Italy: <a href="http://amazon.it/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.it/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Canada: <a href="http://amazon.ca/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.ca/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Japan: <a href="http://amazon.co.jp/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.co.jp/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Netherlands: <a href="http://amazon.nl/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.nl/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Ireland: <a href="http://amazon.ie/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.ie/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Belgium: <a href="http://amazon.com.be/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.com.be/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Poland: <a href="http://amazon.pl/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.pl/dp/B0HJRPCLN1 </a><br>Sweden: <a href="http://amazon.se/dp/B0HJRPCLN1">amazon.se/dp/B0HJRPCLN1</a>

  This is one of your best videos yet! And they’re all so good! But this one got into the nuances most others ignore. Thank you so much!

  Yes, I love your wit and humor. Yes, I love your cats at the end of your videos. Those things alone would get a &quot;thumbs up&quot; and a &quot;merci&quot; from me! On top of that you provide a level of detailed and truly useful advice found in very few sources about living in France. I am particularly grateful for the vocabulary (shown on screen and carefully pronounced by you). I frequently stop the video and replay that information over and over while I practice the pronunciation. Then I add the phrases and vocabulary to my notes for future use AND bookmark the video in the event I need to rewatch later. Merci beaucoup, Johnny. Your content is an internet gem!

  Johnny - this stuff is GOLD!! &nbsp;Many thanks for having a video with info that absolutely no other video has concerning actual existence in France and what we will actually need to know and do. &nbsp;You are a French Florence Nightingale who helps us in English! &nbsp;Crushed it this video - thank you!

  Your understanding of the retired life is so on point. &nbsp;Your advice in general works for rural France as well as rural America. &nbsp;Thanks for walking us through what we should consider before falling in love with rural France.
