    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. 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” and all the while, making every wonderful day in Nice, the best day ever…

      Lovely to see Nice. We're expat Canadians in the Limousin. One of these days we'll make it to Nice. There's so much to see in this beautiful country.
      We've enjoyed your journey and your informative videos that were helpful for us on our journey.
      All the best for 2025!🎉

      You really need to invest in external microphones when doing videos outdoors. Your voices are constantly being drowned out by background noise to the extent that it spoils the videos.

      After 50+ years in the US I've spent the past 6 years back home in Scotland. I need sunshine 😉 I'll spend the first half of 2025 looking at Mediterranean locales. Nice is definetly on my top 3.❤

      A couple of months ago while I was still in Nice, I thought I saw the two of you crossing Bd Dubouchage. But I was headed in the opposite direction, and by the time I convinced myself that it really was you, we were about a block apart. I was doing last-minute errands because I was leaving in a day or so, and in a bit of a hurry. However, after seeing your neighborhood in this video, I believe it is my neighborhood, also! I will be back in late March, so maybe I will see you around there again.

      happy continued adventures to you two in 2025 ! after watching video i cant help but wonder, why at this time in your life, you are jumping thru frusrating the hoops to obtain your french drivers license?
