I Never Thought I'd Say This - I'm Leaving France for Love | Janice in France

Bonjour, Bienvenue! Today’s episode is one of the most difficult—and beautiful—videos I have ever filmed. After almost four years of living alone in France, building a life in Fontainebleau, navigating change, grief, growth, and unexpected joy… I never imagined I would be making this announcement. But life has a way of surprising us, even in our later years. And today, I am sharing the truth behind my next chapter: I am returning to the United States because I have fallen in love. This decision has been emotional, complicated, and deeply personal. France has become a home to me in ways I never expected, and saying goodbye to the little town that held so much of my healing is not easy. But I also believe in listening to the heart, even when it asks us to be brave all over again. In this episode, I will share: • How I came to this decision • What this means for my life in France • Where I will be living in the United States • How this unexpected love story unfolded • And what the future of this channel will look like Thank you for walking beside me these last years. Your kindness, letters, and encouragement have shaped my life in more ways than you know. There is still so much beauty ahead, and I hope you’ll continue this journey with me.
