Loved loved loved this! I felt like I was watching the Amelia & JP version of "Emily in Paris" with the great French background music, etc. Funny story: years ago my brother and I accidentally ended up in Dijon for a few days and we LOVED it there. The people were so friendly. We also went to Beaune for a wine tasting and that was amazing as well. Great video!

Voila , this has a Disneyland feeling to it . I could really see myself living there . I'm already walking around doing a Maurice Chevalier impersonation . Thanks

Wow!🤩 I think this was my favorite video yet! You both look so happy and it seemed so effortless. Like Amelia said, you got lost in Dijon. Meaning, you realized that you had to move on. What a wonderful feeling! I loved the owls 🦉😃 I joined your live abroad program and I’m really hoping to invest more time in it soon. I still work a full-time job, but this is important! Dijon looks beautiful. Europe is definitely on my radar. Hopefully as a dual citizen. But even if not, it seems like you and so many people you talk to are making it work. 🎊💗👍🥳 Thank you Amelia and JP!! 👏🫶

France is in my top 3 places to emigrate to. Thanks so much you two!

Mon dieu! Your new haircut is beautiful!!! The woman at Pophair is brilliant!

Really insightful video. Have never considered Dijon but it looks really attractive as you present it here. France outside of Paris is definitely on our list.

My first time in France was a few months ago. There are so many beautiful regions to see. I was in Provence. But I will be back for the others.

You both seem much happier in Europe than Ecuador. Wonderful video du jour!

thank you, You look so happy there. Dijon looks like a wonderful mix between smaller, quieter ways of living but still diverse, Thanks for sharing.

Really interesting video. I've never considered Dijon at all but this was a wonderful introduction. Great job!

Seems so much nicer than South America. Maybe you can do a video on the differences between Europe and South America for expats and slow travelers.

Il est important de savoir parler au moins deux langues. Je parle français, also English y Espanol tambien. Bon voyage en France!

Je suis d'accord.

On Numbeo a comparison between Dijon and Porto, the second largest city in Portugal, the country where I live, shows that rent in Dijon is 48% lower than in Porto, which is shocking. Most Portuguese have been priced out of the rental market in both Porto and LIsbon. Students now have a really hard time studying in those two cities. But, on the positive side for Porto, restaurants and groceries there are much cheaper. You can have about four cups of coffee in Porto for the price of one in Dijon and two bottles of wine for the price of two. But, workers in Dijon make a lot more money on average than those in Portugal so they can afford the higher prices.

LOVE the Grey Poupon additions.

Another great video! Thank you for continued good information.

There are many wonderful towns and villages in France that are not very expensive. Learning the language is part of the fun and excitement of the expat experience. For retired Americans, you have article 18 of the U.S. - French double tax treaty. La belle France!

Beautiful video! The town was certainly impressive for many reasons. Thank you!

Thanks for this! Heading to Corsica then Liguria next week. Looking forward to it immensely!

My favorite of your videos! It looks like a great way to have a home base while slow traveling Europe

Great video, watching your travels to get ideas where to go when I retire.

Adding Dijon to my list of cities to visit for retirement possibilities. Thanks for the awesome video

Awesome recommendations! Thanks so much for covering pretty much every question we would have. Wife and I are finishing up our stay in Ireland. Although we are out in the country, it’s been far more expensive for housing compared to what you two have gotten. That you both so very much. Great job.

Thanks, JP & Amelia, for showcasing another beautiful city. I know you put in so much work in making these videos for us. The joys that you share are truly evident in this video of Dijon. Very positive feelings for the city even though their mustard isn't my favorito.

Looks wonderful! And a $2000 budget sounds wonderful as well.

Looking good you guys,enjoying life.

You give good information. Merci beaucoup.

13:10 This single statement made me head to Google fights after the video and start investigating flight cost in various months. You mentioned Lyon and that’s another location I’ve been really curious about. Great video!!!

Love it! But I say if you move somewhere you need to assimilate and try to live in the language of where you are all the time. Moving somewhere and then hanging out in expat areas or when you go out it is with expats...just don't move there. Vacation. Less you are ready to adopt the language fully, you are only a tourist.

Love it JP and Amelia

Great video! I'll look into Dijon

Great presentation guys.

Wonderful video! It's a nice change from the large French cities - while I hear that they have their charm, I am equally often hearing about the high prices in cities like Paris.

That's wild! Pretty fab find! Stunning place!

Wonderful video! Considering an add to our bucket list, other than the language barrier. Really enjoyed this video & town!

Loved the video. On location. Thanks so much

For the weather, it is the wettest Springtime in Northern Europe for decades, so normally you will have warmer, sunnier and dryer weather ;)

Dijon certainly looks like a beautiful city, thank you for the video. The lack of an expat community is actually a plus for my wife and I, as everywhere we have looked into we try to keep our distance from the bigger expat areas.

Great video you guys!

I think you two should set up at least a semi-permanent base in Dijon -- Amelia, you had a huge smile on your face this entire video 😊😂❤😊😂❤😊😂❤😊😂

Great! 😊

Just a quick FYI, When looking at the price of a restaurant meal in France there is a service charge embedded in the menu price. It's called "Service Compris", usually 15%. It functions somewhat like a tip, so you generally don't tip in France unless you want to show some special consideration, maybe an extra 5% or so. But it is not expected. So when you see a menu price of 12 euros, think of it more as a 10 euro menu price and a 2 euro tip. The weather in France this spring has been unusually wet and overcast. Even here on the Côte d'Azur where it is normally sunny.

Dijon looks lovely, and I didn't realize how convenient it is with the shopping mall and tram. I prefer a somewhat larger city and still have my heart set on living in Lyon someday but I would definitely plan a weekend trip to Dijon. Thanks for sharing!

Love that you are exploring France - must visit Bordeaux - incredible city! With a night trip to Arcachon for summer times. What is the visa situation for France? I watched Nomad Capitalists latest vlog on Mexico and he did mention that France is not on his list - not sure why - maybe he is more focused on business reasons. I would love to live in Dijon or Bordeaux or South of France is also incredibly beautiful! Wonder what cities/areas are better/warmer in winter season or no windy mistral season..Great vlog!

Since I'm in the comments tonight, I'll throw out an opinion. Andrew over at Nomad Capitalist has on many occasions, over the years that I've watched him, referred to his "libertarian" beliefs. So I think his reasons are both political and VERY much about taxes. The whole theme of his business & channel is relocation to where you can have the least government intrusion and taxes. And when it comes to taxes, France is in a class by itself--and I'm moving there in a few months!

Maybe it was my imagination, but you guys seemed more relaxed and at home in Dijon than you have in many other places. Thanks for this video; it opened my eyes to living in France. I assumed that it would be just too expensive to consider, but you showed that it is quite affordable. I guess I have to brush up my high school French!

Thank you so much for all you do. It is really helpful to figure out so many decisions about travelling through Europe once I can finally retire. You guys are awesome!

I don't care for Paris. It's another huge, crowded, expensive, polluted city full of congestion and crime. Small town France however is utterly charming. Particularly southern and southwestern France. Take a canal cruise if you can. It's marvelous.

Oh wow, haven't watched in a bit. Thought of you, peeked... and RAN to catch this one. I've always wanted to live in France but just thought it'd be too expensive for me. Healing from long covid (and other stuff it brings) now, so everything's on hold anyway but... This vid. I was happily reading all the signage with my Duolingo français (la petite chouette verte) and loving the bal-musette you chose as a bed. Maybe I can live in France after all? We'll see. Anyway, heading over to the Paris one next, then Andrew Henderson. So good to see you two happily doing your thing. Salut. 💖

Looks interesting, but I'm an individual who suffers from a fear of being inland and away from the Sea. However, I did hitchhike through France several times in my youth but if I were to return to Europe the Balearic islands would be my first stop. as I lived there before on Formentera.
