I'm so sad to see Mon Joli Cadeau going. It appears that the amount of time to devote to run a successful galleries was a bit overwhelming for Yoh Boa. And not enough money to support the sim. So this beautiful French village along the canal is now disappearing. It had so much the Parisian flavor.
I took photos of my gallery. It was right along the water.
First floor....
Second floor....
I was told that Kitewake is another region where premium members could get their free homes. I checked my account but it appears that I can't. Only the old regions showed up. But a beautiful area with many different styles homes nicely spaced apart. What I love the most is the water boat homes.
I did visit the inside of one home. Just so cutely decorated with beads, plants, plates decor above the kitchen sink. It's one of these homes that inspires me to decorated my RL home.

At Thistle Community in one of the townhouses. I so admired the little kitchen area. So cozy. An antique sewing machine on one side. The kitchen area with the stove and sink located near the window. On one of the counter are art supplies. A area for plants and a colorful cabinet with colorful paintbrushes right next to it. If I lived in a small area like this my kitchen would look like this
