French Country House & Garden tour in Southwestern France

On tourne. Bienvenue à la Verde. Bonjour Laetitia. Bonjour Nathalie. Comment ça va? Oh, thank you for having us. You're welcome. You've been asking for one, well here it is. Our very first Velvet and Toads house tour at my friend Nathalie's in southwest France. You saw us planting seeds, starting seedlings, you saw us planting her garden here in southwest France. We brought the seedlings down from Paris and planted them. So I thought we would take a tour of the house. I don't have the best equipment for doing that, I don't have the right lenses and everything, so bear with me. But it will give you an idea, an overview of this beautiful property, and I hope you enjoy it. As long as we're already out back, and as you've already seen the potager in a previous video, why don't we start with the frog pond. From here we'll move on to the brand new outdoor sauna, a French design, with its spectacular convex window made by a French helicopter windshield maker. Let me know in the comments if you'd like the company information. Let's move on briefly to the pool, then I'll take you into the outbuilding that Nathalie has converted to a wellness space for her clients. Primarily wellness coaches who bring their own clients here to La Vergne for retreats. I'll include to explore on your own. Look for takeaways and share them in the comments below, and I'll catch up with you later. We'll end in the main living room. Look for a glimpse of the guest house with its tower typical of the Lac Valley area of southwest France. I ran out of time to film inside, as you'll have noticed I did with the bedrooms here in the main house save one, so that will just have to be for another comment if I've managed to pull it off, and if you'd like to see more house tours in the future. Be sure you've subscribed and hit the notification bell so you don't miss them if I do. And now for the grand finale. I caught some footage through the window of my favorite European bird, the hoopoe, from my fellow bird lover in Australia, Susan Truston. Though a common bird, it was the first time I'd actually seen one for more than a fleeting second. Remember before you go, don't forget to show your takeaways in the comments.
