In this episode of House Hunters International season 31, titled "Burgundy Bound Mom," we follow a single mother, Bridgette, and her two children as they embark on a journey to find their dream home in the heart of Burgundy, France.
Bridgette, an American citizen, has always had a passion for French culture and has dreamed of living in France for years. With her children now grown and living their own lives, Bridgette has decided that the time is right to make her long-held dream a reality and move to France. However, this move will not only be life-changing for Bridgette and her children but will also bring the challenge of navigating a new country and culture.
As the show begins, we are introduced to Bridgette and learn about her life in America. The house she currently lives in is spacious and comfortable, but Bridgette is ready for a change of pace and scenery. We learn that she has a budget of $500,000 for her new dream home in Burgundy, and she is looking for a property that is large enough to accommodate her family when they come to visit.
Bridgette wastes no time in her search and quickly begins viewing potential properties, with the help of her real estate agent, Julie. The first property she views is an old farmhouse outside of Beaune, a popular wine region in Burgundy. The property boasts stunning countryside views and a large garden, which Bridgette is particularly drawn to. The interior of the farmhouse, although charming, needs some updating and renovation.
The second property Bridgette views is a more modern house in the center of Beaune. Although the house is smaller than the farmhouse, it has been completely renovated, and the modern touches are a refreshing contrast to the more traditional styles of the previous property. However, the lack of outdoor space and countryside views leaves Bridgette feeling a little disappointed.
Finally, Bridgette views a property that seems to tick all the boxes. Located in the medieval town of Dijon, the property is a spacious and elegant apartment in a historic building, which has been beautifully renovated. The apartment features high ceilings, stunning views of the city, and is within walking distance of numerous shops and restaurants. Although the apartment is much smaller than the farmhouse, it has enough space for Bridgette and her children to enjoy when they come to visit.
Throughout the episode, we see Bridgette struggling to choose between the different properties. The farmhouse offers stunning views and a large outdoor space, but the interior needs a lot of work. The modern house in Beaune is convenient and tastefully renovated but lacks outdoor space, while the Dijon apartment is elegant and modern but much smaller than the other options.
As the episode comes to a close, viewers are left wondering which property Bridgette will choose. Will she go for the sprawling farmhouse with its abundant potential? Or will she choose the modern convenience of the Beaune house? Or, will she choose the elegant Dijon apartment with its city views and proximity to shops and restaurants?
Overall, "Burgundy Bound Mom" is an emotional tug-of-war, as Bridgette weighs her priorities and tries to find her perfect French home. It's a captivating episode filled with stunning scenery, charming properties, and a sense of adventure as Bridgette embarks on the next chapter of her life.
