About

I help people move to France with practical, on-the-ground guidance for successfully settling here. I know the process because I've done it. I moved to Dijon from the US in 2008. I've navigated 17+ years of French bureaucracy, am raising two kids here, work as a language teacher, have become a real estate investor, and am even now French myself! I make videos offering real-world guidance on every relocation stage, from initial planning to confident daily life. I also offer personalized support: individualized calls, half-day Dijon Test Drive Tours, and all-inclusive Dijon Stay Packages at our 5* short-term rental with guided visits and practical assistance. Links below for details. Whether planning retirement, a career shift, or testing the waters, you don't have to navigate this alone.

Sign up for my email newsletter and get practical info about life in France delivered straight to your inbox: https://fired-up-in-france-2.kit.com/dacaa289dd I spent a weekend exploring Nancy, France - recently ranked the #1 large city in France for quality of life - to see if it lives up to the hype. In this video, I take you through everything that matters for actually living here: public transportation (including their unique electric trolley-bus system), real estate costs (surprisingly affordable!), healthcare access at the CHRU Nancy, walkability in the historic center, air quality rankings, and the vibrant student culture with over 60,000 university students. I compare Nancy to my home city of Dijon, explore the stunning Art Nouveau and neoclassical architecture, and share practical details like train connections to Paris (as low as €36!), the incredible indoor market, and what it's really like to navigate the city. Whether you're considering a move to France, researching quality of life in French cities, or just curious about this lesser-known gem in northeastern France, I'll show you why Nancy might be the perfect French city you've never considered - complete with real prices, honest observations, and my perspective as someone whose lived in France for over 17 years.
