A couple frequently relocates due to the husband's job in the food industry, living in temporary accommodations. They maintain a part-time job in Paris and travel back and forth weekly. Instead of getting attached to these rentals, they invest in a vacation home in a small coastal village, envisioning it as their future retirement residence. They spend summers there, enjoying time with friends and family. In 2005, they move to Amiens into a functional apartment, appreciating the lack of garden maintenance. They downsize their belongings, taking excess items to their vacation home.
