And of course, where there’s lavender, there are lots of bees. I doubt you’ll be able to hear them in the video, but that’s all I hear out here. Silence and the hum of bees doing their work. So beautiful. Hey guys, hot day out there. Hey boys. All right, keep it up. You’re doing a good job. [Music] [Music] The hills are high. With the sound of music, my heart is alive. With the thought of you. So for those of you that have always thought about coming to the lavender fields in Provence, this is what they look like close up. And it is just gorgeous. So, this is your typical lavender field. And what you’ll notice is the rows between the lavenders are basically like stone or pebbles. And here in this field, the lavender is, as far as you can see, gently swaying in the wind. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] We are now just entering the town of Valen Soul. Valen Soul is known to have the most beautiful lavender in France and most beautiful lavender here in Provence.

As you can see, coming to the lavender fields is quite popular here. Look at all of the people. [Music] Sunflowers are [Music] on the left. You’ll see thousands of sunflowers plants. The sunflower have not bloomed. The last time we were here, it was in the middle of July and they were all in full bloom and it was quite something to see all of the sunflowers in bloom next to the lavender fields. So, here you’ll see thousands and thousands of sunflower plants. not in bloom yet. However, here is the lavender. Absolutely beautiful lavender. So, here is Ann out walking in her field of lavender.

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…
