Jolande and Barbara in a sequel: TV SHOW  ''Ik Vertrek''

Kees, Monique, Jolande & Barbara  at Manoir Les Tilleurs France

In ''Ik Vertrek Even Weg'', former participants look for inspiration from each other.
hat can they learn from each other and what insights do they take away from this trip?
Artist and writer Jolande van Lith and her partner Barbara de Roo were previously seen in ''Ik Vertrek''.  It showed
how the sympathetic couple single-handedly converted an old Manoir into a cultural hotspot in the Loire.

Despite all the setbacks such as mold, a leaky roof and the absence of professionals,
the couple remained positive and the viewers appreciated that.
They became a trending topic and were guests of Beau to tell about the adventure.

Jolande and Barbara are not only a loving couple but also a successful artist duo;
their lives revolve around art. They work internationally and on the basis of social involvement;
in recent years, they have been involved in creative projects with homeless people and refugees.
In France, they welcome Kees and Monique from Dogglywood
to their Chambre d'Art and try to enthuse them about art. But is this for the down-to-earth dog lovers?

Kees and Monique love dogs and the company they started in Thuringia, Germany,
has everything to do with the four-legged friends; They set up a holiday park for dog lovers and that turned 
to be a gap in the market. They are even thinking about slowing down.

Jolande and Barbara's return visit to Germany is quite an experience, especially for their little Chihuahua Novaz.
How is he going to hold his own among big dogs?
Although both couples seem completely different at first glance, chasing your dreams creates
a bond and something beautiful soon arises...

The artist duo and love couple have been a happy couple for 12 years and an important theme in their projects is
inclusion and connection.

" We feel free to radiate our love and wish this to everyone.
As two women, we have made our dream come true, a cultural HOTSPOT in France.
In our art & music projects, diversity and individuality are always central.
Every person is equal and happiness can be shared. Visibility of different role models in the community is especially
important right now. The emphasis is often on men in the media and female couples are still insufficiently represented.
That's why we are happy to sail with the AVROTROS boat. ''

Jolande van Lith and Barbara de Roo are not only a loving couple, but also an artistduo with
a predilection for installation art. They already have a lot of success to their name. In the French hamlet of Mansigne,
the couple has bought a Pippi Langkous house, which they want to turn into a chambre d’Arte;
a mecca for creatives.

in good spirits. But soon doubts arise about the whole project. Everything is wrong with the house,
the French workmen don’t show up and painting walls and doors all day long is actually not that much fun.

And they had quite a good life in Alphen in Gelderland, with nice people around them and challenging work.
The ladies persevered, because a new life in France, that was what they wanted, wasn’t it?
