Bonjour! I'm Diane, the American behind the living abroad lifestyle blog Oui In France. My channel is all about everyday French life and beyond, so you'll find videos on French culture, language learning, travel, and my take on what it's like for a foreigner living in France.
I've lived in the Loire Valley since 2012 with my French husband, Tom, and Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Dagny (who sadly passed away in 2022). Thanks for being here and be sure to subscribe!

Just when you thought the yumminess of the holiday season was over, every boulangerie around is tempting you with galettes des rois that are too good to resist! What's your favorite?

This happened 3 years ago but I was finally ready to share the story. Have you watched the video?

Bonjour tout le monde! Over the years, I've gotten messages from you asking how you can support the channel. I considered going the Patreon/subscription route but decided against it because I want to keep my content free for everyone. The best way to support Oui In France is to engage with my content. Whether that's commenting, giving videos a thumbs up, or sharing them with a friend or group on social media, that's HUGE for creators.
I also have a Ko-Fi page where you can buy me a virtual "coffee" to say thanks as well. Every little bit helps and the support means everything: ko-fi.com/ouiinfrance
Thank you again for being here. Onward and upward into 2025 we go! P.S. Have a big glass of something nice and bubbly on NYE. It's my bday. ;-)
xx,
Diane & Tom (who is a bit camera shy but is a big part of Oui In France's success)

If you’re a Francophile, then you know that Christmas is the perfect time to add a little French flair to your holiday decor. After all, nothing says “Joyeux Noël” like a Christmas tree sprinkled with ornaments that capture the magic of France—whether it’s a sparkling Eiffel Tower, a buttery croissant, or a festive macaron. To that end, I’ve curated a list of 15 must-have French-inspired Christmas ornaments for 2024 that will transport you straight to France, even if you’re celebrating from afar.

Bonjour! I was a guest on the American Citizens Abroad podcast and you can check out my episode here: americancitizensabroad.podbean.com/e/our-chat-with…
We discuss what surprised me the most about French culture, the reality of living in France versus the fantasy, how culture shock can sneak up on someone when least expected, and so much more. I hope you’ll give it a listen!
