• Retire in Fontainebleau, France - EP 216

  Janice Deerwester, a retired teacher and widow, was working at Cracker Barrel when a song stopped her in her tracks—Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is?” It struck a chord, sparking a deep realization: there had to be more to life. Determined to make a change, Janice set out to transform her reality. After being captivated by the stunning Chateau de Fontainebleau in a movie, she knew she had found her new home — Fontainebleau, France. At 70, Janice sold most of her belongings, gave away what she could, and embarked on a bold new chapter with just three suitcases, a cat, and a dog in tow. Today, she’s thriving in France, proving it’s never too late to chase your dreams and live life on your own terms. Follow Janice at JaniceInFrance.com, @janiceinfrance on Instagram and her YouTube channel, Janice In France. #retirethere #retiretherewithgilandgene #retiretherewithgilandgenepodcast #retiretherepodcast #retirewhere #retireabroad #retirehere #wheretoretire #retireearly #bestplacetoretire #retirement #retirementplanning #babyboomers #genxers #JaniceInFrance, #fontainebleau, #fontainebleaufrance, #france, #chateaudefontainebleau, #fontainebleauforest  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

• Retire in Fort Collins, Colorado - EP 214

  Where can a writer, editor, illustrator, and avid mountain-sports enthusiast find solace and inspiration in semi-retirement? For Peter Moore, the answer was clear: Fort Collins, Colorado. This vibrant college town is celebrated for its thriving arts scene, live music, theater, craft breweries, and easy access to both ski resorts and Rocky Mountain National Park. After being laid off from a high-level position at a national magazine, Peter and his wife Claire decided to turn the page and start a new chapter in Fort Collins. Today, they’re living their dream in the foothills of the Rockies. Hear their full story—and how they found their own “Rocky Mountain high”—on Episode 214 of Retire There with Gil & Gene. Bonus: Peter has written in his diary every day since he was 22, and now shares his humorous, illustrated stories on his popular Substack.
