- Bonjour!
In this video I am sharing three ideas to bring France to your home this winter. To immerse yourself in the French way of living, French culture and the beauty of the country. I hope you enjoy!

Recipe for the Christmas wreath bread
500g bread flour
10g instant yeast
300ml lukewarm milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1.5 balls mozzarella (about 200g total)
50g grated cheese (I used mozzarella and emmental)
About 2 tablespoons green pesto (I used it from a jar this time)
A few sprigs of fresh rosemary
A handful of cherry tomatoes
Ribbon
Mix the flour with the yeast, milk, 1 egg, salt, garlic and onion powder in a KitchenAid for 15 minutes until you have a nice ball of dough that doesn’t stick to the sides of the bowl. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and leave to rise for one hour in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Cut the mozzarella in small pieces.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Cut into 16 pieces. Flatten each piece of dough, put 1/3 teaspoon pesto on the dough, then a piece of mozzarella and wrap the dough around it to shape it into a ball. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue with the other pieces of dough and make a wreath. You will probably have a few balls extra. I used them to make a little flower shaped extra bread. Whisk the second egg and brush the bread with the egg. Sprinkle a little of the grated cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes.
Take the bread out of the oven and arrange the rosemary on the bottom, tie it with the ribbon. I placed the little bread in the middle of the wreath and decorated with a few cherry tomatoes. You can also serve the smaller bread separately so you have a beautiful proper wreath shaped bread.
Serve with soup or toppings such as extra pesto, tapenade or butter.
Thanks so much for being here and for your support! Happy holidays to you and your loved ones and see you next year!

Thank you for the tips to make our lives a little more refined. I am of French and Dutch descent on both sides (but my family has been living in Africa for 370 years) and I marvel at seeing the beauty and traditions of the "homeland". I also loved seeing your cat making your house a home, as they do all over the world. Geseende Kersfees!
Thank you! Vrolijk kerstfeest!
A Year in Provence is wonderful. Wishing All a peaceful holiday time!
Merci, you too!
Oh Marloes! I loved, loved, loved this video! I actually love all of yours - I love when you take us on walks of your gorgeous countryside, I love brocante shopping, watching the work you're doing on your estate... the meals and desserts you make, your decorating style... I love all of it. But as someone who is learning French and looking one day to visit... this was incredibly inspirational and informative. I will go out on a limb and say that, without a doubt, I will become an ardent watcher of the French Channel. It's exactly what I have been looking for to extend my knowledge and appetite for all things French. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thanks so much for your kind words! Yes I had the same feeling and excitement when I discovered France Channel! It is all the best things coming together! I am so enjoying it and super grateful we were able to get in touch and partner with them.
Lovely, soothing video. I love your suggestion to read some French books. I will look for several of the books you shared. ❤
Great to hear!
@@FrenchCountryLife Yep. Your voice is, indeed, great to hear 🙂
That Japanese dome is fabulous !!
Isn’t it??
The Chapel of the Cosmos was stunning. I shared it with a friend who recently began making mosaics. Merry Christmas!
Oh how nice! Merry Christmas!
Perhaps you may enjoy Martin Walker’s series of books: Bruno Chef de Police. Magnifique! Joyeux Noel.
Thanks! I’ll look into that!
Thank you for bringing France to us throughout the year ❤Merry Christmas to you and your family and Happy New Year ❤️❤️
My pleasure! You too!
Best wishes to you dear Marloes for a wonderful holiday season.
Thank you!
Thanks for the reminders of Peter's books!! I'm traveling but should have your book waiting fro me when I get home - Merry Christmas!!

Blessings and merry christmas holidays celebrations take care regards🎄🎄⛄⛄🎄🎄⛄⛄🎄🎄⛄⛄🎄🎄⛄⛄🎄🎄

Hi Merloes! This is my favorite video yet. So heartfelt and encouraging without being preachy. Merci!
Thank you!
Vos vidéos apportent une part de sérénité, merci, à bientôt .
Merci à vous!
I recently brought France to my home with your beautiful book ! I just received it and I look forward to read it slowly page by page. Thank you for writing it ! I love Peter Mayle too of course. The way he describes food ! You can almost taste it ! I wish you and your family a lovely Christmas celebration ! With much love from California 🇳🇱🙏💕
Thanks! So happy to hear you like the book!
Fijne Kerstdagen en een gelukkig Nieuwjaar! 😍🎄🎆🍀
Dank je wel!
❤Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year
Happy Christmas from Spain. ❤
Thank you!
Hi Marloes, another set of three books you might enjoy are by Janine Marsh - an English lady who moved to the North of France. I have read the first two and about to start the third. Nice easy read.
Yes I know her! Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄. Happy Holidays 😊
Thank you for these suggestions, I always enjoy the the videos at your home and others that you visit. Douceur, yes. the France Channel looks interesting.
Thanks so much!
We should enjoy our lives every day as it would be Christmas.
Exactly!
So much good information and excellent suggestions here. I am particularly interested in Peter Mayle's book. Thank you. Finished with Christmas preparations...tonight Midnight Mass, tomorrow Christmas brunch. Sadly..no snow but tis the season of celebration and birth. Joyeux Noel to you and your family and all the wonderful people you have presented in your videos. 🎄🎆🎁
Thank you! Joyeuses fêtes!
What a wonderful relaxing video, Marloes. I wish you and your family (of course including Tigrette) a comfy-cozy and beautiful Christmas celebration
Thank you! You too!
Very beautiful video and ideas for this season. Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas!
🎊 I really appreciate this video! Thank you for sharing these fun and interesting tips! I especially like the books and the France channel 👍 Happy New Year!🎊
Thank you! Happy new year to you too!
Wonderful ideas, thank you. Merry Christmas
My pleasure! Merry Christmas to you too!
Thank you for doing this video. This answered my questions from the last video about Christmas in France ❤
Good to hear this!
I just love your videos,e each, and everyone
Thank you!
I loved the book recomendations!❤
Happy to hear this!
Such a lovely video. I love all of them. Thank you for sharing these wonderful ways to bring France into our homes. I can't wait to make the bread & read the books. Also, looking forward to France channel. And of course your cook book. I was in Paris this summer & my next trip will be to the the French Countryside. I found your channel while researching French Country Kitchens for my upcoming kitchen remodel here in California. I have found your videos on brocante & your home tours to be so valuable. The area you live in is so beautiful. Wishing you all the best in this New Year & I look forward to more of your wonderful videos!
Thanks and welcome to the channel!
You’re welcome. Thank you very much!
❤❤❤
Really really inspiring and relaxing vlog 😊
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing these tips with us! When I’m in California and not in France… I’m always looking to bring France into my home in the U.S.
If you haven't already read it, I highly recommend the book, "Waking Up in Paris" by Sonia Choquette. I'd say there is a lot in the book with which you can identify. Either way, I feel like you would really enjoy it. Joyeux Noël !
Thanks! I’ve heard of her but haven’t read the book. Thanks for sharing!
Merry Christmas! And thank you for showing lovely Tigrette!!
Un cadeau inexpéré is een erg leuk boek van Françoise Bourdin, mooi kerstverhaal.
Dank voor de tip!
Hi Marloes! Im so excited! We celebrated yesterday with gifts and dinner, with all my children and grandchildren home here. 21 of us. Anyway, i was telling my daughter about your book and how I would love to get one, but thought I couldn't here in Canada, and she gifted one to me! Im so excited, that, I'm up now at 6 am looking at your book with my coffee, while all the others are still sleeping. It looks lovely. Im going to enjoy my quiet time with it now. Have a blessed Christmas with your sweet family. ❤
Greetings from Edmonton Alberta Canada 🇨🇦❄🎄
Oh what a wonderful surprise! So happy to hear you’re enjoying the holidays with your loved ones! Happy holidays!
Marloes, ik kon dat lekkere breekbrood bijna ruiken! Dat ga ik ook proberen, wel met een andere kaas, want mozzarella is niet zo mijn ding. Geit of roquefort zal ook goed smaken. Ik heb nog nooit brood gebakken, dus dat wordt hoog tijd. Iemand noemde jouw video's 'soothing' en die persoon heeft helemaal gelijk. Dat komt ook door jouw mooie warme stem. Tot de volgende !
O tof! Ja je kunt zeker andere kaas gebruiken, dat zou zelfs nog lekkerder zijn maar mijn jongens houden wel van die neutrale smaak. Laat me weten hoe het uitpakt!
@@FrenchCountryLife Ik heb vandaag de ingrediënten ingeslagen en laat je zéker weten of het is gelukt. De bedoeling is een lunch komende vrijdag voor een vriendin. Zij is ook een 'fromage-tête' , net als ik. Dat klinkt een stuk beter dan Hollandse kaaskop, nietwaar? 🙂
Love the France Channel TV. Can't wait to start watching some of your favorites
Let me know what you think when you’ve started watching!
Thanks for sharing these lovely ideas. We wish you and your family a 'joyeux Noël et bonne année'!
Marloes, thank you for such amazing and beautiful videos. My life is very challenging right now and your videos have been a stress relief and blessing me. Your videos are like a living magazine. Thank you for such beautiful content.
Oh I am so happy to hear this! ❤️ thank you for sharing this and for being here. Sending you love!
Hopefully your Christmas was as lovely as this video ! Happy New Year 🎊! I wish you and your family many blessings ❤
Thank you! Best wishes to you too!
Oh, my goodness! So many wonderful things packed into one video! From the gorgeous bread wreath to the breathtaking chapel at the chateau to your tips for bringing France into our homes, what more could one ask?! Wishing you and your family a very special holiday season and a happy new year!
Thank you! Happy to hear you like it!
Oh my Tigrette at the window! 🤩 Thank you for sharing your experiences of France with us! We wish you and your loved ones a wonderful rest of year and Happy New Year soon! Yikes! ❤🎉
Thanks! To you too!! See you soon ❤️
Another wonderful vlog! Best wishes for a happy holiday season for you and your family!
Thanks so much! To you and yours too!
ISO love your channel. Making it so slow paced really is quite refreshing and enjoyable. Looking forward to your next year videos. Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
Thank you! To you too!
As always, a wonderful, calming vlog to help me slow down my thoughts for a moment. I love being able to stay connected to France / French life via your lovely channel when I am away from France back in the UK. Funnily I was only looking at my bookshelf this week at Peter Mayle's books and thinking to myself I must re-read some of them. He has a new one out about the Paris Olympics too! I'm lucky to be able to spend time with my wife's family in France to experience those things you say - although it isn't as calm as your vlogs chez eux !! Tous mes meilleurs voeux pour les fêtes de fin d'année à vous tous.
Thank you so much! Joyeuses fêtes ✨
Merry Christas Marloes. I wish we were there in France for the holidays. But what you shared brought France a lot closer to us all!
Thanks!
Thanks for such an inspiring vlog. I loved the little book about the rabbit, I am sure my grandson would enjoy it. When I am in France I like the pace where people take time to enjoy lunch together, I think in the UK and perhaps else where we have lost something when it comes to meals. The French chanel looks interesting. Have a good Christmas and New year.
Merry Christmas 🎄 Love your channel and we love the France Channel here in the US.
Thanks!
Dank voor je mooie video, ik genoot ervan. Toevallig heb ik ook vorig jaar de boeken van Françoise Bourdin ontdekt en vond deze zomer een grote stapel bij een antiquariaat in Nyons. Ik waan me in Frankrijk als ik ze lees.
Er is een hele leuke over Kerst in de Provence, maar ben de titel even vergeten.
Fijne feestdagen en mijn man volgt met plezier je man Olav.
Dank je wel! Jullie ook fijne feestdagen!
Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎄🥂❤️🏴x
Thank you!
Lovely video! Thank you for all this wonderful information 😊
Thanks!
Wow, that chapel room was magical, love your festive bread, loved the whole video. Merry Christmas to you, your family and all fellow Chanel followers 🎄📚🥐🇫🇷🧑🎄
Thank you!
Love the bread! Wonderful presentation
Thanks!
Merry Christmas from Tennessee, USA! Your videos are so beautiful and serene. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
💕💕💕
Thanks marlies for all the time. Have a wonderfull new year.
Thank you, you too!
Wat ontzettend leuk dit! Fijne dagen 🎄 🎅🏼
Dank je wel! Jij ook fijne feestdagen!
What a beautiful vlog! Loved the Chapel in the Chateau. Your recommendations about France Channel are so appreciated! I hope we can access it in South Africa. At this time of the year the longing for my French roots is deep. Wishing you a joyful Christmas and many blessings for 2024!
Thanks! You can use 10019 ZIP code and New York as the state where you need to put in your billing address and I use a VPN service so I can watch it from France.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Have enjoyed immensley your videos . Thank you
Thank you, you too!
THANK YOU! I was sitting before a nice fire and going through your magnificent cookbook when I thought I would check in on this channel. I have been so busy entertaining that it is now that I can really begin enjoying the beauty of the Christmas Season. SOOOO, I saw this channel you were watching the Culinary Journey on and went to the site. I am in the U.S., so I signed up. I do not speak French, so the subtitles help. I am enamored with this series and look forward to watching others. What a treat!!!!
Oh I am so happy to hear that! I absolutely love that series!
I love your channel! Thank you for this beautiful video filled with great ideas. You truly are an inspiration! I watch you all the way from South Africa.
Thanks for your support!
Thank you for another wonderful video. Love visiting with you so much. This was so sweet and cozy it made me feel like I was sitting with you face to face. You are a lovely person. Happy and Blessed Christmas to you and your family, expecially Tigree.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas ❤
Thank you!
Great idea Marloes, and we already follow that trend somewhat. We often have Sunday soup with buns and dutch cheese and currant buns with family and friends. Echt Hollandse. Our parents immigrated to Canada in the 50s. We were born here. After lunch, some time outdoors, walking or tobogganing depending on the season! Have a blessed Christmas and a healthy and happy New Year! Looking forward to more of your beautiful and relaxing videos. 😃👋🎄❄🇨🇦
That all sounds lovely! Merry Christmas to you too!
🎄🎀thanks so much, merry christmas from sheboygan, wisconsin🎀🎄
Merci!
Another super sympathetic and atmospheric episode, so so cozy! {you forgot YOUR book} 🥰 all the best, enJOY a bit of slow(er) living, happy New Year!
Thank you! Happy new year to you too!
Oh, I so resonated with this Marloes. I have always read books like this. Haven't read any of Francois Bourdin's .look forward to finding them. Chocolat etc (Joanne Trollope) are also lovely. Thanx for the other tips too and the bread. ❤Joyeux noël à toi et à tes proches
Thank you, to you too!
Marloes. Love the video especially the bread making but will definitely look at the France Channel. Wanted you to know I got my cookbook and will start next week with the baguette recipe. I also purchased a scale to use. I am at the very beginning of the book reading all of your notes and background. Well done on the book. We hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas. Happy New Year. Cindy.
Thank you so much! So happy to hear you enjoy the book! Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best in 2024 🥰
Thanks! And to you!
We just love your cat! Thanks for sharing all your ideas on bringing France into our home. Even though we live between Italy and France we enjoyed them all. We look forward to checking out the France Channel streaming service. Honestly we're so sick and tiered of some other French lifestyle You Tube channels which offer viewers so little authenticity, exaggerate their content, endlessly rave on about how "AMAZING", everything is and exist to simply raise funds from Patrons ;-) Many thanks for your wonderful story telling this year and best wishes for 2024. Joyeux noël Maria et Rowan
Thank you so much for your support! When you’re not in the US you can use 10019 ZIP code and New York as the state where you need to enter your billing address. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas Marloes, wish you all the best for 2024!
Thank you! To you too!
Such a chilled video today.. I really enjoyed it. I must try to get France channel but not in USA…Joyeux Noel a tous 🎄
Joyeux Noël !!!
@@heliedecastanet1882seriously! Grow up
@@davidmiller-br4bu ? Sorry ? I answered to your "Joyeux Noël" by another "Joyeux Noël" in order to thank you, and this is how you react ? What did I do ???
I use a VPN so I can watch from France.
@@davidmiller-br4bu Quick at scolding, but slow at explaining why you scold… That makes sense, since you realized you made a mistake, and that it is more difficult to apologize than to remain silent.
No, dear David, I did not "correct" you (as you supposed I did, didn't you ? I finally got it while trying to find a meaning at your strange reply) because you did not use the "¨" on the "e" of Noël. Why would I have done such a thing to someone who had made the effort of writing in French ? I was just thanking you and wishing you a merry Christmas.
Despite your rudeness, I don't regret that I thanked you, and I can't blame you for your education : you are not responsible for it.
Merry Christmas !
Lovely video, everyone would benefit from slowing down and picking up a book or two. If you haven't checked out the Bruno, Chief of Police series of books, it would be worth it. Written by Martin Walker and set in a small village in the south of France, the whole series is extremely well done and enjoyable... and centered around the foods of the region. I've found them to be a wonderful addition to my Peter Mayle books! Happy New Year to you and your family. I look forward to enjoying more of your videos in 2024.
Thanks! I’ll look into it!
Bellissimo, Auguri di buon Natale 👋
Grazie!
Bonjour ! je ne connaissais pas l'existence de cette chaîne de télévision "France channel", mais j'ai reconnu "des racines et des ailes" (roots and wings) et j'ai vu également rapidement sur votre présentation le film "Sibyl" (avec Virginie Efira et Adèle Exarchopoulos !). Je connais bien "les carnets de Julie" il y a toujours quelques petites astuces à ajouter à nos recettes de cuisine personnelles. Concernant les livres, il y en a un que j'aime beaucoup mais qui est ancien c'est "le grand Meaulnes" de Alain Fournier, je trouve que l'histoire est un peu magique et surtout très belle. Un grand merci pour toutes vos vidéos toujours aussi agréables à regarder. Profitez bien des fêtes de Noël et de jour de l'An, et bonne couronne des rois !!
Merci! Je pense que j’ai déjà entendu parler de ce livre. Je vais essayer de le trouver aux Emmaüs la prochaine fois. Merci pour ce partage et bonnes fêtes!
@@FrenchCountryLife C'est avec plaisir.
Lovely video! Pitty I can't get the app francechannel in the Netherlands!
You can if you use a VPN service, I did that in France.
💓💓💓
Just one question - how do you get around the billing address for France Channel which has to be in the US ?
Let me ask them that question after the holidays and get back to you!
I think I put a zip code I knew… but I have just asked them and they told me to tell you to use 10019 ZIP code and New York as the state and it should work!
The tv is available only in USA
Yes unfortunately, it’s what I said in the video. I am using a VPN service so I’m able to watch from France.
encore une bonne habitude un peu oubliée mais qu'il est important de perpétuer .....
Oui!
Poor Chapel!
It’s not a chapel ☺️
Jammer, ik krijg de melding dat France tv alleen voor de vs toegankelijk is…?
Ja dat is wat ik zeg in de video. Ik heb een VPN service waarmee ik kan doen alsof mijn computer in de VS is en dan kan ik alles kijken. Via Windscribe kun je een gratis VPN regelen. Je hoeveelheid data is dan beperkt per maand maar je kunt toch redelijk wat kijken. Hopelijk kun je hier iets mee?
Oh ok, sorry dat heb ik niet gehoord… ik zal het met de vpn proberen.
Fijne kerstdagen 🙋🏻♀️
@@DIYKarinhopelijk lukt het! Zoveel mooie series, ik geniet er zelf echt enorm van! Fijne feestdagen!
The best thing about your channel was the natural sounds beauty and silence- now it’s a non stop commercial- the 😢
Every video is different! I am not paid to make this video as I stated. Please also do realize that content creators like me put a lot of time in creating videos and that time needs to be available (meaning I can’t spend time on my business during the hours I work on creating videos) and also making videos takes financial investments.
One way to support your favorite content creators is by embracing the sponsored content and just waiting a few seconds when advertisements show up during the video. It is our way to make a little money to pay for expenses and to get rewarded for the work we put in.
I understand you prefer quiet videos and this one has a lot of talking. But I honestly loved this discovery and wanted to share as I think many will love it as well.
Although I mostly read you’re not criticizing but are sharing with me what you prefer to see on this channel and I appreciate that. Thank you!
