Moving to France Alone at 70 — and Started Over in Fontainebleau

Video Description

Janice moved to France alone at 70 — no perfect plan, no fluent French, just a deep desire to start fresh and live life on her terms. In this honest and inspiring conversation, she shares what it’s really like to reinvent yourself later in life: the loneliness, the cultural shifts, the joy of learning, and the quiet strength it takes to begin again — in a new language, in a new country. ✨ Watch more from Janice here: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@JaniceInFrance/videos ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Teaser: Highlights from the conversation 01:00 – Welcome to the podcast 01:33 – Meet Janice: Retiring at 70 and moving to France alone 10:20 – The emotional reality of starting over 22:45 – How she navigated the French healthcare system 38:00 – Learning French (and forgetting it!) 52:10 – Building community in a new country 1:04:00 – Speaking French at the Biocoop 1:04:30 – 💬 Want to feel more confident speaking French? 💬 Learning French or moving to France?
