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!

Bonjour, tout le monde!
I wanted to let you know I’m continuing my break from YT for the time being. Everything is good here, no need to worry, but life has been pulling me in a few different directions personally and professionally. So I’m taking some time to recharge and focus on other things for now. I don’t have a set return date, but I wanted to keep you in the loop. ;-)
I’m so grateful for all of you and the support you’ve shown me over the years. This isn’t necessarily goodbye, just a “see you later.”
Appreciate you all more than you know!
xx,
Diane

Bonjour tout le monde! I hope you had a great summer. ;-) It's time for me to take a much-needed break from YT. In the past when I've taken a break/vacation, I've always worked on content during that time so looking forward to taking some true time off from the channel to refresh and recharge. Thanks for your support and see you soon!

🎉🎉🎉 YESSSSSSssssss, Oui in France has finally hit the coveted 100k subscriber milestone and my silver play button is en route. Un grand merci to all of you! I'm thinking of doing a video to show you my plaque and celebrate the occasion and would love to do a YT-related Q&A as part of it. If you have any questions about YT in general, my experience w/growing a channel, etc., drop them below and I'll pick the most interesting ones to answer in my video.
MERCI

The final countdown to 100k is ON! If you've been enjoying my content and you aren't subscribed, please consider doing so. The 100k silver play button is a huge milestone for any YouTuber and, my gosh, has it been a journey. The current landscape for creators is a bit bleak so finally hitting this milestone is going to feel sooo gooooood.
Maybe I'll hit it next month or later this year, but regardless, thank you for being here. Whether you've just subscribed or you've been here from the beginning, I appreciate you. Merci <3

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?
