We bought a HOUSE IN FRANCE | How to renovate an abandoned house in France | Rural French lifestyle

This is our journey of buying and renovating a house in France. In 2020 we bought an abandoned house in the Charente region in the South West of France. Follow us here as we renovate and bring our house back to its glory. Join our lifestyle in rural France!

We are Robert and Jyrki - two artists living in Helsinki, Finland. With no renovation experience, but lots of enthusiasm and passion we take on the big challenge of renovating a property abroad.

Hola from Ecuador! My husband and I are American expats living in Cuenca, Ecuador for the last decade. I just watched this video and subscribed. Looking forward to binge watching and catching up!

I'm so glad that I found your channel. I lived and worked in Paris for years and have been back in the U.S. now for four years. I'm thinking of returning to live in France but this time, in a beautiful small village.

What a nice video. I saw this video on a window and decided to watch it, and
I am glad I did, I found it very relaxing. That Snow scene is Beautiful. Those
deep gold yellow lilies are a kind I have never seen before, They are so pretty.
I look forward to watching your videos.
