One Year, One Dog, One Laptop: Reinventing Life in France

An inspiring interview with an American entrepreneur who, after losing her spouse, moved to France with her dog and spent a year traveling the country in search of her permanent place while also continuing to run her own business. She shares how she chose where to stay, managed logistics like mail, banking and moving days, built friendships on the road, and established her company in France under the Professions Libérales visa. A real look at life and self-reinvention abroad.

About Us:
We are an American family of 3 who moved to France for an extended stay adventure in 2022.
We wanted to experience Europe as more than rushed tourists on a 10-day vacation. To dive into the culture, learn a new language, experience daily life, and truly know what it was like to work and live somewhere other than the US.

In France, we set up a business, enrolled in a middle school, found housing, and even got our cat a European passport!

While preparing to leave for France, the information we found about staying in France for longer than a short vacation was directed at college students, young & single digital nomads, or British retirees. Where was the information for families or Americans like us?

With two years under our belts in France, we created Baguette Bound to pass on what we have learned. We hope to make it easier and inspire other families who are interested in experiencing a long stay or moving to France. Stay tuned for more information on French culture, adjusting and the logistics of moving across the world.
