  Buying a mill house is genius. When you get the mill race restored you can install a hydroelectric system which means clean, free electricity. You might even get government subsidies to pay for it. With it being environmentally friendly.

  I've watched, off and on since the 3rd video. My wife and i found a moulin in January 22, and settled in june 22. Department 64. Within 6 months we knew we wanted to live in france full-time, and now it's about to be 2 years. Our moulin was renovated in 1980, but was abandoned since 2018. It was livable after a week of cleaning, but we're still making it better, the stone walls for the millchase were in dire straits. I really enjoy watching you make a new home for your family. It's what life is about. Bonne soirée.

  As soon as I saw the gates I knew it would be beautiful, a mountain of work, yes,  but oh so stunning it will be.

  Helen and Rich, thank you for sharing your life with us. I shed a tear when you were brave enough to leave your London life behind. I think you are amazing to have the dedication to renovate the Moulin. The life for you all will be richer in France, some of my own family have said they will never return as life still runs at an easier pace. <br>Loads of hugs to you all.

  Head mount cameras cause far too much distorted moment leading to viewer getting motion sickness. &nbsp;Handhelds are best, just keep movement slow and fluid.
