Simpler Living - Ann Algie 🇫🇷

À propos de la chaîne

I moved to France from the UK with my husband Tom in 2012. We wanted to life a simpler life, a life that felt congruent with our beliefs and thoughts about nature and the environment. We had an overall budget of £45,000. We left the UK in our 30 year old camper van, bought specially for the occasion, and with a view to possibly needing to live in it for a year or two. We travelled round France for 3 months before finding our small house and a 1/3 acre of land in Aveyron, south-west France for 33,000 euros. The house had a roof, but not much else. We spent the next 10 months turning it into a home while living in our van, learning to speak French and adjusting to a different culture. We have since bought more land and now have 2 acres in total, about half of this is woodland. We are currently re-building our very dilapidated barn. This channel is an honest account of our life here and encouragement for living happily during these challenging times!
