I remember someone said she has an Italian passportShe might not need a visa, I think there are some Italian(?) ancestors in the mix, so she might have an EU passport

Legally to stay in France you need a long stay visa but Iām pretty sure all these people are flying under the radar. I donāt know her back story itās possible she has dual citizenship? Just speculating, something Iāve wondered about tooI was wondering about Gnatti. I'm trying to justify her being on the payroll because if the b&b is closed for 8 months, what's she doing?
Is it a visa requirement that she must be formally employed? It's the only logical answer. Funny how my mind wanders because now I'm wondering whether or not she could remain in France without a job and remain because she is the arnoire's mistress? Maybe I'm wrong but I just have a hunch. Don't hate on me lol!
Natti has Italian heritage and, as a consequence, she holds an EU passport so thanks to this the visa requirement doesn't apply. No-one is really sure what she does the rest of the time when the B&B is closed. She doesn't cook, in fact famously hates to, but has been seen carting cleaning equipment about - no proof she actually uses any of it, just that she's been spotted holding the odd vacuum here and there. The rest is a bit of a mystery as she doesn't answer the phone, or respond to emails. She's also been known to 'manage' the volunteers by leaving chalkboard instructions on how to "broom" a kitchen, and sometimes she drives to the local shops to buy bread (don't ask about the bread ). My guess is that she's now embracing her new role LieLande's new executive dog walker.I was wondering about Gnatti.

And while Sheās at it she needs to thoroughly scrub that kitchen I mean focus only on thatā¦ Put everyone to work on that!whoever is paid by madam to read here, tell her to PAINT THE WINDOWS.
I'm obsessed with window resto. Budo at French Farmhouse Diaries on YT is building new windows out of oak, they're masterpieces. And Daniel Kanter's adorable boyfriend, IG @ittybittybungalow, is restoring the windows of his new lake cottage at Silver Lake, NY. Lake cottage is a whole universe for Americans, and Silver Lake is a 19th c Methodist revival community as many are. Brad, I think his name is, is eloquent on the topic of restoring windows most people would think of as junk.I donāt know if you watch Amanda and Lincoln, the American couple whose channel is Our French Chateau. In their latest vlog she was talking about not looking forward to repairing the wood of the windows which have woodworm and rot. In fact, she said she was going to put it offā¦for a whole day. And almost immediately she shows herself filling and sanding the window frames after treating for woodworm. They didnāt know if itās an active infestation but they treated it anyway. Itās nice to see chateau owners get stuck in on their own projects and actually accomplish real renovation!

if sheās only feeding private guests friends and family she wouldnāt need a permit or inspection I imagine if food is on offer to paying guests then they have strict laws about food and preparation I remember the peeps at the post office chĆ¢teau had to take courses in French to pass and get approval to run a restaurantIs there a health dept in France that inspects B and B kitchens? You would thunk if you serve to the public you would need a health certificate
She is feeding the paying guests. She makes a point to say she is having dinner with them. Yuck is all I can sayif sheās only feeding private guests friends and family she wouldnāt need a permit or inspection I imagine if food is on offer to paying guests then they have strict laws about food and preparation I remember the peeps at the post office chĆ¢teau had to take courses in French to pass and get approval to run a restaurant

I thought it was said those guests have to pay extra for a dinner with Fanny. Perhaps I am mistaken?She is feeding the paying guests. She makes a point to say she is having dinner with them. Yuck is all I can say
Yes they bought one when they bought the other equipment from the Ian who was immigrating at least thatās how I remember itSo you guys made me watch CDās latest. Am I crazy in thinking Fanny had purchased a utility van for the chĆ¢teauās use. If so why were they happy to use Chantalās and Stephenās van.
Chantal should have made the luncheon for the patrons. I thought that looked really good.
Iām pretty sure sheās dual citizenship with Italy giving her an EU passport.I was wondering about Gnatti. I'm trying to justify her being on the payroll because if the b&b is closed for 8 months, what's she doing?

That was Matt, he was returning to England I thought?Yes they bought one when they bought the other equipment from the Ian who was immigrating at least thatās how I remember it
All credit goes to @Jules100 , I only nominated it.Congratulations @Le Baiseur & @Jules100 (I believe it was a team effort) for naming the thread.
Whatever it was, it was also strong enough to turn her hair a lighter shade of reddish blonde.I wonder what caused Pavinas black thumb nail. I bet it hurt.
It was Mat that was moving back to the UK. Fanny bought the mini tractor pelle and the dumper truck thingy from him. It was rumoured that she bought his red van too after one of our very own eagle eyed tartlets kept spotting it in the parking area on different CD vlogs. There was some mention of it needing something done to it to make it road worthy, probably a CT.Yes they bought one when they bought the other equipment from the Ian who was immigrating at least thatās how I remember it
