Hi everyone, I am aware of a scammer impersonnating me in the comments who seems to be trying to trick you into messaging him on whatsapp. If you are messaged by this person, always look at the handle. My account is @Seans_World, if you do not see this then it is not me. I believe the person was called Patrick Boyle, with CZcams's new foolproof update everyone has a unique handle. I'll never tell you to contact me on any other platform unless I say so in a video. We ban the accounts but new ones keep cropping up, so stay alert.

Many thanks to you all lads. Must admit that my credulousness and bumpkin Appalachian Kentucky upbringing and deep culture contributed to my having been duped in the past. Great channel you all have. Thinking about moving to France and enjoying the quality of life enjoyed better simply in the vital daily proper sit down meals with wines, cheeses and proper 20 British ounce pints of Bitter and regional ales. Won't even start maundering on about single malt Whiskies and boiled puddings.
You were visiting the Basilica of Saint Therese of Lisieux. The groundbreaking was in 1929 and it was completed in 1954. It was funded by donations and contributions from countries throughout the world. The Basilica did suffer some minor damage during the war. St. Therese of Lisieux is also known by some as; “The Little Flower.” She was an inspiration and testimony of the love of God and neighbor. She is the patron saint of florists, foreign missions, loss of parents, priests, and the sick (especially those with TB).
The ground breaking is what the plaque referenced in Latin when they first walked up. Roughly translated it says:
Behind here is the Basilica in honor of St Therese of the Infant Jesus
The corner stone was placed harkening back to her birthday, September 30, 1929
In this case the birthday of September 30 is the date of her death in 1897 and refers to the date she was born into heaven.
This was recorded last weekend. It’s Saturday today. Thanks for the tour
We visited Liseaux in October 2022. Wonderful and mystical place.
Thank you for the information, what a beautiful Basilica it is.
@@dustinduncan2444 Thank You, glad you put light on that. CHEERS
Your son did a great job with the photography on this video.
He said thanks 😊
Agreed crystal clear images.
Ste Therese de Lisieux is very important in France. My grand mother gave me an image of her for protection when I was a child. She was very religious. My kids did a pilgrimage there before their first communion.
Chese is more expensive in Australia
She is important all over the world.
@@joseeallyn9950 Maybe to some people, I have never heard of her.

Maybe, Josee Allyn should have added "... amongst the catholic community " because not everyone knows about Saints. It takes years to learn, I'm in my 70's and still learning.
We get to visit all the wonderful places and buildings that otherwise we would never see. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful beautiful Church, I pray to Saint Theresa everyday for protection of my my children and and grandchildren absolutely beautiful Church so much history in France such a beautiful video have a great day guys..😀💕👍🌹🇨🇦
That's nice ☺️
Enjoyed coming along on this journey with you Sean. And it was good to hear your son chatting with you while filming. Nice filming job Tom!
I just returned from a trip to Paris and Normandy (I’m from the US) I love France and all the little towns, specialty shops and foods. A boulangerie in every town! Heaven. I could just watch these types of videos all day.
When I was stationed near Evreux 64-66 I visited many WWII sites. We would go to St Mere Eglise, ( where the paratrooper hung on the church all day, until the citizens rescued and hid hin on D Day) for a commorative Para jump out of C47 aircraft. Many beautiful towns and cities. I have a large book about Pays D'Angelo, and the manor houses there. (MANOR HOUSESIN NORMANDY, Regis Faucon/Yves Lescroart) beautiful places. Some I've seen, others I would like to visit. Keep traveling, videoing. Life is not all about work. Thnx for sharing.
I am sitting here watching this lovely video of the Basilica of St. Teresa, The Little Flower. I am a graduate of Little Flower Academy, a girls only school, in Vancouver, BC. The school is over 100 years old and was named for St. Teresa who is immortalized in this beautiful basilica. Thank you Sean for sharing your experience, I absolutely loved it.
Sean, you're a man after my own heart! Buying copper cookware at a fair, visiting a cathedral (or basilica), and bringing home some local groceries...Don't forget to visit the local cemeteries. Art, architecture, landscape and history all in one place.
Hello all, May you attract positive energy and love from this day forward.❤️🇨🇦🥂🙏
My family originated from France, less than 400 yrs ago.
What an amazing Basilica. I would be in there for a very long time soaking in all the beauty inside.
Thank you for showing this beautiful building and grounds.
Really nice town and the church bells so lovely to hear. Nice cheeses too. ❤❤❤
Thanks, Sean, for taking us all on another wonderful adventure in France! The Basilica of Saint Therese is quite impressive! Nice of you to take us all along for a tour. It must truly be something to experience in person. You have such a lovely family! So Happy for YOU! 👍🙂
Love your videos Sean ……one of the things which really stands out to me when you are out and about in the towns is how clean everything looks ……no litter !
That’s how it used to be here in the U.K. but now we are wallowing in rubbish everywhere and certain individuals just do not care ….they think someone else should clear up after them…..! 😢
I’m also enjoying seeing you at Billy’s……what an amazing project the Convent is ….!x
Hi Sean, Thanks for another road trip in France, The Basilica of Saint Therese de Lisieux, was breath taking, and her history is amazing. The village was quaint and quiet. As a cheese lover (who isn't) myself, the cheese looked creamy and yummy. The Italians also have a lot of smelly cheese's as well, get past that and the taste is marvelous. The sausage looked pretty good as well. Nice to have your son with you. Thanks for a day out. Love from N.Y.
Hi Sean, a note for local history overlap but the Lisieux Shine to St. Therese has a step-sister shrine near me called the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak, Michigan. The money raised to build it was largely generated by Fr. Charles Coughlin from his radio broadcasts in the Great Depression when he had 30 million followers. I appreciated your visit to the Shrine as I would never have seen it but for your video. Thank you for a wonderful virtual experience 😊
That is wonderful to know of someone near the sister shrine! My husband supports them and they send us lovely prayer cards, rosaries etc. all the time! Therese is very dear to us . We have been to her shrine in France, I wish you could go there too.
We are about to head out to France soon and I am (with no talent or expertise !) thinking of making a rather amateur vlog of how we travel from the USA , cheaply to France. I hear of so many people who want to enjoy this wonderful country but are put off by the price (of guided tours) , the language and negotiating the transport systems. We have done it for 59 years and my husband is quite lame now but if we can manage it, anyone can! We will try to make it possible for Americans to 'have an adventure" , so keep watching, you never know if we achieve our goal of making France accessible to everyone, of any income and any age. Meanwhile I really love Sean and his 'adventures'! Happy 'adventures' to you too !
What a beautiful Basilica Sean. Reminds me of the Church I grew up in. It had so many arches and paintings lots of Marble Statues and Pillars. I was able to be Baptized, did my Communion and Confirmation there. A Cardinal performed my Communion and Confirmation. I still remember it to this day I was 9 years old. 50 years ago. Thank you Sean for sharing such a beautiful Basilica with us along with all your adventures in France. Lots of love from Florida.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! The basilica is extraordinary! You always bring us to the most interesting places! Love from Vermont
I love the variety of your content!
grapes & wine? takes any bitter edge/smell off...:-) Nice video, Sean.
Yes you are very fortunate to be living in a country with all of the beautiful architecture everywhere and stunning cathedrals and churches. I love hearing the church bells ring. The vibrant colors inside the basilica is jaw dropping. Thank you for sharing your day trip with us and for making my mouth water as you sampled the Camembert cheese. xx
Thank you so much! Your copper find is amazing. My room mate, Mom (86) burned our copper pot that has a stainless steel lining.. watching your video's I was able to save it and it proudly has it's place back in the kitchen, it's not perfect but it isn't black and white anymore and Mom feels a lot better She is limited now to the slow cooker, bread machine and dishwasher anything that has an automatic shut off in case she has a spontaneous nap lol (dishwasher- the washing dishes kitchen flood is a tail for another day 🏊.) Love her so much! Do until you can't, believe in yourself and ask for help if you need it. so many of us don't ask for help (like Mom) 🙏
What an amazing church, the beautiful work!
My grandmother visited the Basilica and have no words to describe the beauty thank you Sean to take us there I probably never will be there absolutely great blog
Fantastic
Extremely enjoyable
& as usual funny 🥰
I love smelly cheese. I guess I grew up on it!🤔🤣😊 It was very funny how Sam and her Mom were sitting as far away down the table as they could without falling off!!😂 Also, how they kept asking for a small piece! The basilica was incredible!!!!😮🤩😄
That cheese is dirt cheap compared to what we have to pay in the states for good cheese. I’m SO Jealous ! A round like that would likely top $50 in Seattle ! Thanks so much for an amazing tour. I love your low key style of vloging 😉
Love the variety of what you share. Tasty little bites of life in France.
This brought back memories of a very special day of pilgrimage to the cathedral, the basilica shrine, and especially the cloister of Ste. Therese. And down the road from the basilica was a little bakery where I bought the most delicious strawberry/rhubarb tart! actually the basilica was built well into the last century after the canonization of Ste. Therese in the 1920s.
The basilica is absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking us with you.
what a stunning church the art work is beautiful
The shot of the basilica through the trees is gorgeous ❤
Brought back many memories with my late husband.We loved visiting France Have been to this area many times
Thank you for providing this wonderful commentary on your vlogs Sean of specialty foods that are made naturally & organically right there in France….for the betterment of us all who are avoiding the toxic corporate productions.
Thanks Sean! It's great to see what you are up to when you aren't helping Billy with the convent. Crack on!
Cheese! I only had string cheese in my refrigerator but sat down and some with you. Oceanside CA (Southern California)
Thanks for the trip to the outdoor sale. I know you were looking specifically for copper, but for the future, don't walk quite so fast. LOL. Love the trip to the Basillica, you're right, it is a beautiful place. The beauty of the stained glass brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for this tour. Y'all have a Blessed day.
Such a quaint looking little town, and that basilica was amazing. I'm not brave enough to spend that much on cheese without knowing if I'll like it first or not.
iused to hav quite a lot of copper at home. no more i have only one left brass. an old dutch plate warmer? i use it for a tea light it was my grandmothers. nowerdays i no longer use it. itis very difficult to clean However i still keep it. My coppers were mainly very old turkish ones. love seeing what you are doing at the convent.
On a cold grey day here in the states .. I so enjoyed your video and imagined I was tagging a long with you and your son.. yes to more of these kinds of videos.. just wonderful to see France through your eyes .. your son did a great job 👏🏼
Stinky cheese is the best 🎉❤
That was a really nice tour- copper shopping😃, two beautiful cities/villages and an awe-inspiring Basilica. Thanks for the tour Sean and Tom.
I'm Catholic and have been inside some beautiful churches, but none compare to that particular basilica! I've only seen several in the USA. I've never traveled outside our borders. I'm not worldly by any means. Beautiful town also. Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸
The basement pica was actually built in the 1920-1930s! Like you, I was amazed by the place!.
Sean, Thank You for Taking me Along On This Fabulous Trip 👌👍👏👏👏👏❤️❤️
Hi Sean, Sam and camera man Tom, thank you for taking us on your trip. Beautiful Basilica of St Therese of Lisieux. I can see why you love France. Cheers Trish NZ 👍🥂🍻🌈🕊
A beautiful video with interesting facts, lovely buildings and accompanying music 🤗
Sean, I so enjoy you and your family. In addition you are making me appreciate France more than I ever thought I could! I enjoyed walking with you in the town and the swap meet…and the basilica. Nice video ~ From America with ❤
Oh my!!!!! Absolutely stunning.
Wow! Beautiful!
Where do you even begin to build something that elaborate. What a beautiful church.
Thank you so much for visiting here and showing us. The second line calls St. Theresa of the child Jesus, a well-known title of this Saint. She entered the cloistered Carmelite Monastery at age 15 and died at 24 from tuberculosis. She is known for her "simple way." She is a powerful intercessor for causes and needs, was named a doctor of the Roman Catholic Church for her prayer life and spirituality. She is always shown with roses as rose petals fell after her death...a prayer says "pick me a rose from the garden of heaven and send it to me..." so much more about this powerful Saint...
The Basilica is breath taking beautiful . Can you imagine how beautiful a weading would be
Just gorgeous. Happy to hear your son with you.
Beautiful, beautiful! What a place. The cheese looks delicious. Thank you for sharing your adventure.
Sean’s world is filled with good eats
Beautiful peek into a day in the life a Sean and his family. Thanks for sharing. The clear video was amazing.
Thanks to your great work on Billy's channel, Sean, we decided to check out your channel. Fantastic, another channel to add to our repertoire. Love your collaboration with your son. We'll be back!
What a beautiful breathtaking church!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! I am from Texas and our historic churches are so so very young compared to Europe's, so when I get the chance to view such beauty I am so taken back! Once again thank you for taking us with you on your adventure! I wish I could go to your road side fairs or antique stores and shop! If I could I would fill my house with all the treasures I could find and afford! And what amazes me is the antiques are really not that expensive! Here in the States a piece of furniture over 50 years old or older NOT even as nice and in wonderful shape are so expensive where you, Billy, Michael, Stephanie or Phillip are an affordable price!
I recall being gobsmacked by all the beautiful churches in Spain and Portugal when I lived there and later in Germany. Simply awe inspiring. We just may have to have you take Billy’s reciprocating saw with you to cut that bread next time haha!
Delightful video Sean. Thanks for taking me back to the Basilica in Lisieux. I was last there in 1964 when I was just 12 years old!
That's beautiful thank you... 😊
Looks like some great finds and the cheese mmm
Thanks for taking us along Sean. I appreciate it. I will never see France and I love it. You found some beauties today~! I make my own cheese and wish I could have tried the one you did! What a day!
This something I really like about your video's Sean. We start out thinking its a brochante video and the n flash I am right in front of some of the most beautiful architecture in the world. Thank you.
What a beautiful village and basilica. I enjoy watching you interact with the French people and wonder if you, Billy, and Ryan ever go to the pub with any French people (besides Gwen)? Do you and your wife have neighbors that you spend time with?
Hello from Texas! Loved seeing in the church and love all about french life and times.
The Basilica was stunning..especially the domed ceilings and the numerous stained glass windows.
The architecture and site were so well maintained. Cheese shops are so extensively stocked with every imaginable type. Having Tom as the tour guide/interpreter is helpful in a pinch when your French needs a little help👍🏻🥰
Like the wondering around, exploring. We get to see more of France. 😊 thanks for sharing the cheese experience with us too.
Lovely video , love your adventures, you have a lovely family , 🙂
A good red wine with your cheese would have been perfect! Always fun to watch.
Wow the Basilica is absolutely amazing
Wow…this is a beautiful church. I’ve been in ALOT of churches over the years but this tops anything I’ve ever seen in beauty and architecture. I so enjoy your vlogs and your outings are like a mini vacation for me. Thanks for taking us along on your many adventures. I do have to say that I see many items on your treasure hunts I would never be able to walk away from but then I’m not collecting for business but pleasure…MINE! You have a wonderful cameraman…better keep him happy😉!!!:):):)
We went to a few antique stores in my town today. I was a bit disappointed not seeing anything like you, Billy, and Sam see! What a stunning Basilica!
Thank you for sharing that adventure, Sean! Hello from rural upstate, New York.
what a beautiful cathedral, glad thats not on the neglected list, looks like you had a great day, with some bargains. hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend
I just love the places you show us, always amazing in architecture and décor. Thanks for sharing.
Never heard of that basilica, it was quite stunning. The cheese town and the cheese were also interesting. Great video, your son seems pretty well informed, thanks to you both.
It’s such a pleasure to have you explore and wonder at the architecture and delights of your region. And sharing. Thank you. FYI you can find a number of online apps that can translate text from photos. Maybe not Latin… But you never know you might get lucky.
Very lovely video! Oh! The St.Therese basilica is breathtakingly magnificent!Thank you I would never have seen it except that you brought it to me.Thank you!
Loved the tour of the church. Love your passion for copper pots. We do not see to many in my part of the usa
Good morning you two 😁
Very nice finds Sean 👌

Hello sweethearts 💕

Sean, we have the world famous Rogue Creamery here in Southern Oregon, in fact we’re having a cheese festival today. Beautiful church, thanks for taking the time to show us around.
superb video. I love the market. A Beautiful catherdral. And I was so hungery after seeing you eat that sausage buttie and the cheese..I'm going to raid the fridge now...😎
Enjoyed this lovely day in France. The photography was well done!
Incredible Basilica. Thanks for showing this beautiful work of architecture and beauty. 😍👍
If you had not given us a tour of the Basilica, I would not have experienced how lovely it is. Thank you!
Wow on Basilicata of Saint Theresa! Stunning 😍
Love seeing the historic buildings and the cathedral. Thanks for the video.
What an amazing structure! You guys don't look too enthusiastic eating the smelly cheese! LOL!
Thank you for sharing your trip....the Cathedral was magnificent!!
Thanks for taking us along
What a lovely video. It makes me want to visit. You have a wonderful family.
I love your channel Sean. Always something interesting!
France is so beautiful and the cheese looks good.
I Thanks for the video.
Thank you Sean for taking us on an adventure and sharing your family moment at the kitchen table having a cheese tasting.
Thank you for sharing your down time with a walk about! I worked in France just outside of Toulouse. When we had down time, we were off to all points of interest. One of the tops was Carcassonne. Like you noticed the architecture is amazing. It seems like you stepped back in time. Looking out over the walls. Walking about Albie was great too! The only downside was when the cell phone went off we would Scurry back to work. I was so surprised by all the kind people we came across in our day to day. I look forward to your further adventures Sean. CHEERS
Hey, Tony ! You are right to mention Albi. Few people know this city, but it is clearly one of the most beautiful small cities in France. So beautiful ! 🙂
Have a good day !
Sean, you are such a kind soul, always mellow and articulate in your mannerisms. You are also very blessed with a lovely family. It is a treat to see you in your videos doing what you absolutely love. Thanks for sharing your experiences! Peace from Florida, USA.
Lovely copper items Sean. The Basilica tour was amazing. Love the cheese you lucky duck it looks delicious
Our Lady of Lisuex, the home of Saint Therese and "the little way". I think about her daily. Then I see this and feel blessed. Thank you Sean.
