Can you imagine walking out your front door each day and seeing Roman ruins directly across the street?
Would you enjoy a village life in France? For over-40s, over-50s, over-60s, our lifestyle channel will include daily events, cycling and bikepacking with Mark, painting and artistic endeavours with both Deborah and Mark, French celebrations, historic villages-towns-landmarks, and the challenges of finding and renovating old houses. Another important focus is on living a frugal lifestyle in retirement that still allows for fun and enjoyable activities. We’ll share our version of retirement and how we achieve a balanced lifestyle.
After moving permanently to France from Australia in 2016, American-born Deborah and British-born Mark now enjoy a low-stress and happy life in beautiful northern France.
We’re young-at-heart artists and artisans, designers, photographers. Deborah has a background in writing, editing, journalism, and psychology. Mark spent decades in the building trades, so we’re serial renovators of run-down houses in the USA, Australia, and now France.
We have lots of plans for the upcoming months and years, so why not join us!

A surprisingly large group of Roman ruins are outside Dinan in Brittany — both on a windswept field and in a park with lovely houses all around. Enjoy!
Had no idea about the Romans in Brittany until we went to Vannes a few years ago. It's a bit difficult to wrap your head around – looking over the bay where Julius Cesar's navy landed 60 years before Christ was born to defeat the Celtic tribes. Cool stuff.
Thank you Mark!
So much history!
