Come with us, in this new video, as we explore Provence, for a weekend getaway. In this video, Part 1, we take the train to Provence in search of some lavender fields, explore a charming village voted “one of France’s most beautiful villages”, and Jeff will give you a tour of a real “troglodyte cave house”, one of many that surround the village of Cotignac, France.

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…

Lovely video of a beautiful region.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful adventure into the beautiful countryside village. The lavender fields are lovely and the ancient cave dwellings are awesome.💐🦋
Around those exquisite fields of lavender, I could imagine myself falling down and falling fast asleep the way Dorothy and her companions did in the poppy fields en route to Oz. And Toto, too….😉😊
❤❤❤. Thanks An & Jeff for sharing your beautiful trip.
I love how the voices of the people are amplified because of the stone buildings and narrow streets. Such a rich element of your video.
Island music sung en anglaise!
Lovely video. Can’t wait to come “smell the lavender” in person.
I’m impressed that you guys are driving! I know the French driving rules are very different than ours. In fact, I learned recently that at every intersection whoever is on the right always has the right of way unless there’s a stop sign there. Thought that was wierd, because sometimes the street on the right is a small little street and you’re on the main road.
What a fun video…love watching you two on your adventures…. you are always so happy and funny together.
Thank you again !
This was a fun adventure. Driving through the narrow streets was scary though!
So beautiful. Love it. We did what you are doing. We didn’t go into the Abbey, we just looked over the fence. I love seeing Contignac. Would love to visit there. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Lovely 😊 thank you
Oh Jeff you are too good 😂❤
Jeff’s troglodyte imitation really cracked me up 😂! Thank you guys. I appreciated his narrative too. Reminds me of me and DH!❤ driving in uncharted territory can be stressful!
An … I’m not laughing at u but with u as is anyone who has driven or traveled in a foreign country😉the abbey is wonderful be sure to return one day 🌈
