Happy Easter 2024 from Paris! 🌟 New Blog Post (👆 profile link): All Things New - Easter 2024 JOHN HUGH: “In Christ, all affliction only leads to resurrection. Our move to France afflicted us in different ways and changed so many different rhythms, challenges, and changes. Thus, the "afflictions" of less sports (yes, a big deal for me), not having regular baseball (although we've found a team!), not having backyards (although a national forest has become our new backyard). But it's been good, and all used for good in us too…” LINDA : “I was naive, really naive, to think we could transplant our family rhythm from the US onto France. 👉How we travel changed (by foot and metro – only sneakers to save my feet). 👉The length of our lunches with friends changed (from 1 hour in the US to 5 hours in France). 👉How much help my kids need with homework changed (nothing to 2-3 hours every night).” Keep reading our blog… YouTube: “The Tates in Paris” Blog: https://thetatesinparis.com Church Planting : @eicrivegauche #thetatesinparis #travelbloggerlife #travel #travelblogger #adventurers #discipleship #christianblogger #youtuber #americanabroad #americanexpat #expatlife #expatabroad #movingabroad #livingabroad #americansinparis #autism #newhomeinfrance #lifeinparis #churchplanting #movingtofrancewithkids #learningfrench #movingtofrance #paris #parisfrance🇫🇷 #instagood #photooftheday #easter2024

If you buy an old French home, you often have to deal with moisture problems. The old walls used to be built directly on the earth, which is why moisture can rise. And our old walls have been covered with cement and plaster. This means the wall can no longer breathe. But there is a solution for everything.

We, Colinda, Jeroen and our 3 children Luca, Fleur, and Jules, have exchanged the Netherlands for the French countryside in August 2022. At that time, we hadn't yet purchased a house, only sold our house in the Netherlands. In December, we finally bought our dream home, an old farmhouse with outbuildings in the Lot-et-Garonne, which could use a little love. And now, we are busy renovating, beautifying the garden, and simply living our daily lives here in the beautiful French countryside. #emigrating #france #francefarmhouse #movingtofrance #movingtofrancewithkids #francecountryside #renovation #renovating #renovatingourhome #renovationmaison #renovationmaisonancienne #oldhouse #houserenovation #restoration

I like to imagine that our house is alive and that it is happy that we moved into it 🪄And I think our house loves to cuddle up and snuggle into our coats that hang on its walls.

The Franceformation process I use with my clients helps them to identify their unique skills and talents and some of their major life goals, so we can use that information to find the best stepping stones to the right French 🇫🇷 visa to start. One important early step is to figure out the money 💸 because where your money comes from will dictate your visa options. What job are you going to do? Are you qualified to do it in France? What does your industry/salary look like in 🇫🇷 France? Do you know how much it costs to move? How much will you save? How long will it take you to save it? Do you have blocks about getting money and saving money, which means that as soon as you get a significant sum of money set aside, you'll have a car problem or another unexpected expense? 🤔 Ensuring your financial situation is sorted will help make the visa and renewal process as smooth as possible and enable you to do everything you dream of doing in France. If this seems daunting to you, we can help! It's not easy, but we promise it is worth it - and we are with you every step of the way.

Rome, Italy - Summer 2022 - Colosseum in the background. 🌟 When we moved to France, we knew God was going to change us. Our summer 2022 trip to Italy was a turning point for our marriage in France. We had a moment where our kids witnessed one of the worst fights - and left us with no choice. No choice but to repent before them; no choice but to be interrogated by all 3 including our son with autism (example: Why can’t y’all just figure it out?); and no choice but to look in the mirror and see how fears can destroy a marriage. 🌟 Read our new blog post 🌟 2 Years in France ( profile link 👆 ) 🌟We will be sharing photos from our Italy 2022 trip in the upcoming week!

Expats and prospective expats moving overseas need to understand how their tax liabilities may change and what actions they can take to secure their residency status.⁠ ⁠ The tax regulations in France are significantly different from those in the UK, so it is vital to understand those laws and how they apply to your circumstances to plan effectively for your relocation. 🇫🇷⁠ ⁠ Download our free guide to taxes in France, which explains the most important considerations for UK nationals living in France, on our website. ⬆️⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #wealthmanagement #wealthmanagementadvisor #wealthmanagementservices #privatewealthmanagement #financialplanning #personalfinance #moneymanagement #investments #movingtofrance #movingtofrancewithkids #movingabroad #livinginfrance #expatsinfrance #expatabroad #expatinfrance #britishexpats #expatlife #expat #expats #britishexpat #franceexpats #expatsinfrancetips #frenchlife #frenchliving #expatsinparis #expatlifefrance #france #chasebuchananwm

STRESS!!! It’s suggested by much of the medical research that up to 90% of diseases are potentially triggered by STRESS. I know a move to the South of France 🥐🥐🍷☀️seems like rosé all day but we have had so many challenges the last two weeks coupled with emotional overload and a four month summer (send help 🤣) that I could feel the stress building in my body. 🥵 👩🏻‍⚕️So while we in the world of functional medicine focus so much on the physical (that’s of course important) we also have to continue to educate and promote the importance of stress management. I want to propose something new to you. Yes, I love to suggest supplements, sleep, mindfulness, deep breathing, aromatherapy, gentle exercise, counseling, massages, acupuncture/acupressure, reflexology as ways to mitigate stress but we still often leave the spiritual health to the side. WHY?! When we know even research says it’s a core tenant of the pillars of wellness. While it’s easy to turn to a croissant, a French dessert or a glass of fabulous wine here for stress management or even just my go to of aromatherapy and supplements and more sleep, I have been practicing what I preach. I have been turning to my faith in this time of crazy relocation to another country. I sat the other day, and instead of taking 45 min alone to workout, I read my Bible and wrote in my prayer journal. And what I heard in my heart changed everything and reminded me again this was worth the effort. My faith relieved my stress because I was reminded of WHO stands behind, beside and in front of me!!! That night Emmeline and I just stared at all the stars placed in the sky by our great God. We talked about how much we miss home and how living in Europe is harder than just “staying for a while” and how starting over is a lot of work. Then we prayed and thanked God for the reminder in the stars of how great He is. If I am true to honoring all aspects of wellness I am here to encourage you that the next time you feel the stress building to just try prayer, even if you don’t believe it works you just might be surprised by the outcome. (and we do love to add frankincense to our prayer time!) 🙌🏻

Goodbye Münster, Hello Lyon! 1 week in Lyon already 🎉🎉🎉 7 days ago we finally finished the move we started more than a month ago. On June 30th, we left Germany with our 2 kids (8 and 1 year old) to move to the metropole of Lyon. We chose to buy a house outside the city center because we wanted to make the most out of the life outdoor and the nice weather. Although it’s a big adjustment from a life on foot in Münster, we think that we are going to be very happy here. (Mainly my 8 years old son who now has a the freedom to jump and run around when he wants to). Coming from the north of Germany, Lyon feels like quite the change. Also we are for the first time home owners!!! That’s also a challenge. All our life savings went into 4 walls and it’s pretty scary… But renting is nearly impossible in France and in Lyon especially. So there was no real choice there. Anyway we are happy to be here and are looking forward to the new life! #metropoledelyon #lyonmetropole #lyon #ouestlyonnais #montsdulyonnais #montsdor #onlylyon #demenagement #moving #movingabroad #movingwithkids #movingtofrance #vivrealyon #movingtofrancewithkids

~ reflectie na 1 jaar Frankrijk en internationaal verhuizen ~ 1 jaar geleden lieten we België definitief achter ons. We kwamen hier in Frankrijk 's ochtends aan, na een lange rit met de nodige obstakels, met een volgeladen vrachtwagen, 3 auto's en 2 karren. Inclusief 4 kippen, een hond, een kat en 2 kids 😃. Een nieuw leven en een groot avontuur tegemoet. Ja, we hadden goed nagedacht en ja, we hadden ons goed voorbereid (dachten we). Zoals met eerdere grote beslissingen hadden we vooral heel goed naar ons gevoel en naar elkaar geluisterd en niet naar alle goede (en minder goede) adviezen 😅. We hebben de maanden en weken voor we besloten definitief te verhuizen veel gepraat. Ook de kinderen werden op hun manier betrokken in onze beslissing. Niet alles was gepland, want we wilden vooral ook vrijheid en kijken waar ons avontuur ons bracht. 1 ding hadden we wel afgesproken. Na 1 jaar gingen we opnieuw met ons 4 aan tafel zitten om te kijken of iemand twijfelde, iemand ongelukkig was, iemand terug wou naar België. Want we moesten allevier gelukkig zijn. We deden dit met vier of niet. Vandaag was dus dé dag. Aan tafel zaten we niet, maar wel in de auto. Allevier zeiden we volmondig ja op de vraag of we hier wilden blijven. Waar de kinderen er heel spontaan aan toevoegden "Hier zijn we echt gelukkig." Natuurlijk missen ze hun vriendjes uit België af en toe. En ik mijn praktijk met de yogalessen, workshops, kinderen en volwassenen. Maar wat we hier in de plaats krijgen is zo waardevol: het klimaat, de ruimte, de rivier, de dieren, het mooie uitzicht, internationale vriendschappen, nieuwe culturele gewoontes, diversiteit, de ervaring ... en de wetenschap dat als we elkaar hebben, we gelukkig zijn. Dus nee, we komen niet terug. 😃 Als ik 1 ding het afgelopen jaar geleerd heb, is dat we als mens te vaak hetzelfde blijven doen, gewoon omdat dat in onze comfortzone ligt. Ik wil niet iedereen aanmoedigen om naar een ander land te verhuizen hoor 😉 maar rij eens via een andere weg naar huis, ga een nieuwe hobby doen, sluit nieuwe vriendschappen, leer een nieuwe taal, ga eens ergens anders op vakantie,... verruim je leven. Het is het echt waard. Liefs, Dorien

~ step by step ~ Elke week pas ik kleine dingen aan in mijn leven. Als je meteen je hele leven aanpakt, duurt de verandering meestal niet lang. Dus hou het klein. Als start is het belangrijk om te weten wat je doelen zijn... wat wil jij bereiken? Klinkt misschien moeilijk om zo meteen een antwoord op te geven. Maak het dan kleiner en concreter: waar wil jij meer van in je leven? En waar wil je minder van in je leven? En stel die vragen regelmatig aan jezelf. Noteer je antwoord. Pas aan. "Herschrijf". Herhaal. "Herdenk". Wij (mijn gezin en ik) hebben het afgelopen jaar grote veranderingen doorgevoerd in ons leven. Maar die leken eigenlijk niet zo heel drastisch, omdat we alles in kleine stapjes hebben genomen. We maakten van onze droomvakantiebestemming onze thuis. Ik creëerde jobs waarmee ik overal kan werken wanneer ik wil. Ik kies bewust voor contacten met mensen die ik graag heb en geniet ervan. Voor iets anders pas ik. Ik eet bewust geen vlees meer, gewoon omdat ik dat beslist heb. We laten essentiële oliën ons leven verrijken, omdat we op weg zijn naar een natuurlijker en gezonder leven. Maar al deze stappen deden we niet in 1 dag. Dit kostte weken, maanden, zelfs jaren (als je de mentale voorbereiding meerekent). Ik ben heel erg mee in het gezegde "als jij niets verandert, verandert er niets en blijft alles altijd hetzelfde". Het is aan ons om dingen te veranderen. En misschien is het niet meteen duidelijk waar je op termijn naartoe wil. Dat is niet erg! Maar wat wil jij nu? Daar draait het om. Waar wil jij meer van in het leven? En welk klein stapje kan jij vandaag al zetten op weg daar naar toe? Liefs, Dorien #stepbystep #moreinlife #littlesteps #lifepath #vegetarian #movingtofrance #movingtofrancewithkids #whatdoyouwant

The smile & the pose say it all! 🌟🌟Great relief and joy he could join his friends on a school trip to Greece - all in French! After months of emailing, calling, standing in line to get a French document for him, and still not getting it, we were told on Good Friday he could not fly out on Easter Monday. It was a very sad 😕Friday afternoon after spending 4 hours on the phone with the American Embassy in Paris/his French teacher/school administrators. 🌟🌟 Late Friday night- a little Easter miracle - the decision was overruled by a head administrator as long as his dad tagged along! So after a flurry of booking airline tickets and hotels last minute, he (and his dad) were soaking up the sun ☀️☀️in Greece while the rest of us endured cold rain in Paris. “Watching our children experience cross-cultural moments on a daily basis is a huge gift❤️” - Linda Keep reading New Blog post 👉”Living with the Unexpected” (👆profile link). 🌟Watch our stories or check out our videos on YouTube. 🌟Our blog 👉 https://thetatesinparis.com #thetatesinparis #travelbloggerlife #travel #travelblogger #adventurers #discipleship #christianblogger #youtuber #americanabroad #americanexpat #expatlife #expatabroad #movingabroad #livingabroad #americansinparis #autism #newhomeinfrance #lifeinparis #churchplanting #movingtofrancewithkids #learningfrench #movingtofrance #paris #parisfrance🇫🇷 #instagood #photooftheday #greece

GREECE: When your dad becomes a last minute tag-along on a French school trip to Greece due to French paperwork delays! John Hugh got on a plane last Monday morning after our first Easter Sunday service at EIC Rive Gauche. “If anything, we have come to expect the unexpected. It’s our new normal. With that, we have become more and more comfortable with the uncomfortable, being in uncomfortable situations, not knowing what ball will drop next, and not knowing when that important document will come through.

9 days and counting until we step through the door in to our new home, our new life. Time has seemed to simultaneously speed up and slow down..inexplicably. The days are short with a newborn to care for, and long when I dream of France. Winter is quickly outstaying it’s welcome and spring is so close I can smell it on these unusually warm days. I look forward to discovering each season here and all that it has to offer. The bright colors of spring, the warm summer nights with windows open, and cozy nights by the fire in winter. After all, that’s what life is, isn’t it ? A series of seasons, each one succeeding the last. Despite how much we may love it or hate it, the seasons come and go, marking time. Before phones, watches, and even calendars, we humans marked time by the seasons, the rising and setting of the sun and the phases of the moon 🌙 We were more in tune with nature and the planets. While times are different now, I’m still in awe of all that we managed to do without our modern notion of time…Looking forward to this next season of our lives in France 🌷 #indreetloire #frenchcountrystyle #frenchcountry #cottagecore #cottagestyle #cottageliving #france🇫🇷 #expatlife #campagne #doucefrance #movingtofrance #movingtofrancewithkids

LINDA: HOPE & IMPERFECT FAMILY: “I am unprepared for Christmas.   Moving twice in one year and a broken ankle in the fall, means minimum Christmas trimmings for this family… Every Christmas I am haunted.  It's the painful memories of a broken childhood.  It's the continual devastation of my father's passing 20 years ago … In the past, a house brimming with white & gold decor, gingerbread houses, & a record pace of holiday events pushed the deep ache into a dark corner of my heart. This year, I am ready to bring the raw reality of Christmas to our home, and that includes the incredible honesty of Jesus’ birth…. I told my family we are going to share our hopes together … hopes that have lead to despair, broken hopes we haven’t fully resolved, hopes God has realized in a beautiful way, – all of them – bruised or beautiful hopes, we will share as we watch the flames flicker….” KEEP READING 👉 (Advent Thoughts 2022: Dec 8th: Linda) https://thetatesinparis.com PHOTO: an Advent candle & heart-sharing tradition our family loves & grows with us. #thetatesinparis #travelbloggerlife #travel #travelblogger #adventurers #discipleship #christianblogger #youtuber #americanabroad #americanexpat #expatlife #expatabroad #movingabroad #livingabroad #americansinparis #autism #newhomeinfrance #lifeinparis #churchplanting #movingtofrancewithkids #learningfrench #movingtofrance #paris #parisfrance🇫🇷 #instagood #photooftheday #advent

Advent 2022: Hark the Herald Angels Sing - our favorite Christmas carol. “Peace on earth & Mercy Mild, God & Sinners Reconciled.” The Mild Mercy of God. Even though the carol is a work of art, Charles Wesley said he wrote it, in 1739, so that the poor & illiterate would learn good doctrine. In fact, the best of art teaches us the best of faith. He wrote it a year after his conversion, inspired by the church bells in London on Christmas Day. I particularly love: the Mild Mercy of God. We talk about mercy a lot. We don’t talk as much about mild. It literally means: not severe or harsh. I prefer the word in French: doux. It’s the same word for soft or sweet. Is God’s Mercy sweet to us? Do you know the sweetness of the gospel? 🌟🌟 Read our new sermon post (The Mild Mercy of God) 👉 https://thetatesinparis.com #thetatesinparis #travelbloggerlife #travel #travelblogger #adventurers #discipleship #christianblogger #youtuber #americanabroad #americanexpat #expatlife #expatabroad #movingabroad #livingabroad #americansinparis #autism #newhomeinfrance #lifeinparis #churchplanting #movingtofrancewithkids #learningfrench #movingtofrance #paris #parisfrance🇫🇷 #instagood #photooftheday #advent #sermon
