Firstly, thank you for creating such beautiful and inspiring YouTube videos. I have watched from the beginning and have always admired your warm and genuine personality, the way you experience simple joys in life, and inspiration you give others to do the same, in our own lives. You communicate so beautifully and honestly, both in spoken and written form, and now I look forward to your letters, as well. Thanks for sharing...
Such a lovely post Nicolas. Thanks for the little beauty you add to my life😇
It brings me great joy to see you on Substack. I have been an ardent follower of your YouTube journey since its inception and have deeply appreciated the insight and creativity in all your videos. I wish you continued success on this new platform as well.
I, too, have recently embarked on my Substack journey. Wishing you every success Nicolas 🤍
Brava on releasing your first Friday edition of Notes from Nicolas.
I liked it. Chatty varied and paced and great photographs particularly of the lovely Sophie. I hope you will not be offended if I say that her face has an almost human quality about it, so that when you both interact with each other I’m convinced she understands everything you say.
That fragrance! I’m on a mission to find it now! Your description is spellbinding. I can almost see the book dust in the light beaming across the library. ❤️
This is such a gentle, beautiful reminder — one that lingers long after reading.
There’s something profoundly comforting in the idea that elegance can live in the quiet moments: in the ordinary made intentional, in beauty noticed rather than chased. Your words capture that so perfectly.
It reminds me that we don’t need an occasion to honour our lives — that lighting the candle, wearing the favourite jumper, or setting the table just for ourselves is not indulgent, but respectful. A quiet way of saying: this moment matters too.
Thank you for continuing to inspire a slower, more mindful way of living. There is such grace in how you share these thoughts.
What a wonderful collection of lovely things. Just a tip, as a former food stylist, you can find wonderful bone handled cutlery at antique stores and auction houses. I love the patina that comes with aging.

A lovely note to read and take in. The pictures of beauty, including little Sophie. Beautiful!

One could never feel lonely with a Sophie.

Oh, just so Lovely ... from an American in great need of "comforting things" - Thank You ❣️
