In this video, a continuation from our last week’s vlog, we’ll show you how Jeff installed window screens on our sliding glass doors in actually less than 15 minutes… while An was off in the kitchen making some coq au vin. And later, we’ll take you with us to our first concert in France, Eric Clapton. So come on along!

Hi! We are An and Jeff Scott, two happily retired septuagenarians from the USA, who had a dream. That dream was to retire in France. So, we sold most of our “stuff”, packed and shipped the rest, and with our bossy little Yorkie, Bella, said “goodbye” to the USA. In 2024, we moved from the sunny coast of southwest Florida to the sunny coast of the south of France, to enjoy our “golden years” and embrace the “joie de vivre” available to us, here in beautiful Nice, France.
Moving from the USA to a foreign country was no small “project”. Through our videos, we’ve been taking you through the Long Stay Visa process, the packing, the purging, the moving, searching for an apartment, creating a great Dossier, learning the way things are done administratively in France, and sharing the steps, talking about what we’ve learned and the ups and the downs.
And now, we continue to share our life, our new life, here in Nice, getting settled, adjusting to the “French” way of doing things, dealing with the French “red tape”, reveling in the beauty of the world around us…and all the while, making every wonderful day in Nice, the best day ever…

May I borrow Jeff for one weekend? I have a few little jobs I could use him for. You and I will go shopping . lol
It seems like the screens should be installed on the outside. Then you dont have to take them down.
Bonjour An and Jeff, I was wondering how the Eric Clapton concert was. 🙂 Great that the screen installation was so straight forward. Very nice to have with the great weather that Nice has most of the year. Cheers, Mark
THANKS FOR THE GREAT CONTENT!!!!
BEST WISHES ALWAYS ❤️!!!!
Sorry, but this coq au vin is a disaster. You didn't even put any wine in it.
You need to buy a good quality whole chicken, cut it up and marinate it overnight in good quality red wine (not a grand cru), carrots, onions, garlic, cloves, thyme and bay leaves (not powder).
The next morning, drain everything, pat the chicken pieces dry, brown them in oil or butter, then flambé with cognac and add the drained vegetables and the wine strained through a sieve and some fond de veau
et puis laissez cuire.
Look on internet or YT for more informations
Thank you for the recipe and the magnetic screen idea. Glad you enjoyed Eric Clapton!
You guys are so adorable!!! 😂❤ i can even smell your yummy chicken soup!! And Jeff are a perfect company of you!!! So enjoy your journey in France ❤
The food u made looked delicious . Thanks for sharing with us .
He bought it for himself. lol. Cute response.
It’s so nice to see so many people enjoying a cultural event, meanwhile back in the ole us of a were saddled with fighting oligarchy 😢. Thank you for showing some of the Eric Clapton show. I live him. You both are so handy! Do you have a pest service for inside your home? How are you doing with the downsizing of your life? Was it easy to adjust to? Thank you
Loved this recipe! And loved the stroll around your neighborhood ❤
Your videos have often make me hungry An! Cooking is something I just don’t have an affinity for so I’m living vicariously through you.
Thank you so much for educating us and keeping us excited about our eventual journeys to France. 🇫🇷
I love seeing what you, Jeff and puppy get up to in Nice. It motivates me to be interested in life, no matter the aging process.
Screens, or the lack thereof in France are a point of irritation for me, so I was glad to see how the installation went. Your food looked great!
If you need an idea for a summer couscous recipe, try a family favorite-couscous salad.
Chop up small cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, tons of flat leaf parsley and mint & toss w/the cooked couscous. Stir in a homemade lemon vinaigrette & add a can of chickpeas & shredded chicken. Chill. It is a perfect meal on a hot day.
Bonjour, Can’t wait to try your recipe… Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing so much with us. Some people wouldn’t be willing to be so vulnerable and transparent. You’re the best!
