ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

You are doing a beautiful job on the mural.
Darling, I absolutely love and adore the mural work. Fantastic and a joy to watch ❤❤❤. You are an amazing artist. Looking forward to clotted cream first and a scone here. Love you all 😊❤😊
Aww…thank you! Coming from such incredible artists as you both, that’s high praise. Can’t wait to see you soon!! 🥰🏰💖
What a fun time. Thanks for sharing and tell Ashley her singing is so cool and refreshing.
Just told her as she is right next to me and she says “thank you so much”! 🏰💖
Vivienne, thr mural wow!! You are an amazingly talented artist.
Your painting is truly wonderful
Thank you, sweet Margaret! I was thinking of you just the other day. Your lovely letter is looking at me in my office! 🥰💖🏰
Simon is a Gem of a husband - hope you tell him that, or similar, every day of the week. Such gems are a joy.
Your daughter is so sweet!
il y a beaucoup de talents dans cette famille
💖💖💖
Yes, what I was thinking. 👍So much talent in one family.
How talented your whole family is! I love Isabella’s sweaters! Cooking,painting,singing! Not just pretty faces ladies. Simon as well! Very talented and handsome. Always feel the love ❤️ Every single time I watch your show I feel so happy. Thank you.
Creativity Chateau 👩🎨
Nice to see Baudelaire walking on his operated leg ❤
I'm here for the fun and loving relationship of the sisters! Your sister Ashley is such an amazing presence, full to the brim with affection and support for you (what a blessing!). And I do love her singing talent- subtle, cool, sexy. Great to see you with a chateau kitchen full of talented women, taking over the prep of an inspired vegan feast. Cant wait for the finished bathroom mural in its renovated space. Brava Lady, long may you wave!
Isabella... love the cardigan / jackets. Well Done.
In Australia ... Scone as in "on" ... only say Scone as in "own" if we are being pretend uppity.
Definitely Jam first.
Vivienne ... can't wait to see the finished mural ... was great watching you paint.
Great video and such darling people ❤
I really love Ashley's singing. And Vivienne you are so creative and good at everything you tackle.
I love the key chain with live, love Chateau Love. Very nice! Cardigan is beautiful as well! ❤
I put jam first then clotted cream! Love the mural! X
I notice Ashley always keeps her neck covered. As a retired teacher I always did the same. Seemed like it helped me keep my voice during cold and flu season🤷♀️. Ashley’s voice is so beautiful!
Jack is a definite keeper, smart and handsome and diplomatic; charming.
Your mutual is looking gorgeous already. What lovely gift from S&S. Can’t wait to see what you do with it. Enjoy your time with family and friends. I’m taking a beginner’s crochet class next week so we’ll see how that goes 😍
The mural is going to beautiful! Also your serving utensils are beautiful too. 🦋
Such beautiful ladies enjoying feminine love, laughter, good food, cocktails and creativity together. What fun!💕💕💕 The mural Vivienne is painting looks amazing and last but not least, Jack and Baudelaire are being such gents in a Chateau full of wonderful women 🥰
I love Jack's ideas. And that coaster was so nice! It was so nice of Steve and Sarah to give you that machine, you're all such creative people.
Jam then cream. It's much easier this way anyway ❤
So reassuring to see that Baudelaire is doing better. I had noticed that he was still limping a lot and avoiding to put weight on his left front leg. Poor thing. I hope he will fully recover. So nice to see the surroundings of your château, so beautiful. I can‘t get my head around how talented you are!
Beautiful! Enjoy watching your beautiful life in France!❤
Definitely Jam then tons of cream 😂😂 and it’s scone as in stone 🎉 (for me)
Love your mural Vivienne and thoroughly enjoyed your walk too
Thank you for another enjoyable video.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thankyou for cheering me up today! Isabella is every bit as talented as everyone else in the family! The mural is coming along splendidly. A new song (to me, anyway) from Ashley always delights. Bordelais' continued recovery is more good news. I hope you will get to see Curtis and Filippo in Italy!
Jack is is wonderful
What a talent 🌸🌟💖
Isabella is looking particularly lovely in this vlog. Love her makeup and lip stick! The mural is looking dreamy. ~Terri 😊
Dreaming of a Chateau also paints her murals. Stunning.
Yes , Alla is phenomenal at doing monochromatic murals. I think she should hire herself out for work.
Now i am envious , what a wonderful gift ,
cant wait to see what you
do with it . ❤
Thank you for sharing the love Chateau love ladies an Jack, I feel as though I’ve been on a night out💃🏼FABULOUS 🕊️🤍
Hi Vivienne, love how the mural is looking!!! Are you considering adding vineyards to the mural? That would reflect the chateau surrounding.
love this bathroom and that window - love it! i have ashleys cd and listen to it all the time my kind of music, love her voice! and choice of songs on this cd. i agree everyone in your family is so talented!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Vivienne, beautiful to see your crafting gene has been passed on to your daughter. The two "jackets" look expertly made.
Vous avez un château splendide, la salle de bain sera un vraiment Havre de paix et de relaxation, l, ambiance sera à votre image. Merci à vous, et bonne continuation.
Hurray for Jack. He got right in there with all the ladies, contributing his talents and efforts. You are all a very artistic, creative bunch.
Viv you are a such a talented person!!🥰
It is lovely to see people having so much fun. Well done. Cheers from Barcelona.
love watching you paint
I'm from Australia and we pronounce scone as 'sconn' and it's definitely the jam first, then the cream. Your mural is coming along beautifully, you're so talented, can't wait to see the end result xx
I am greately amazed because all of You are sooooo talented! You are such an inspiration ! Thank you very much for sharing with all of us your adventure ! Bisous from Alsace 🤗😍🥇🥇🥇🥇
Fun episode! Lots going on with all you ladies!🇨🇦
Super talented artist❤
Bonjour ladies, Vivienne what another fun episode, thanks for sharing. I just love where you get to take the dog walks. I am looking forward to your Italian adventures. Love from N.Y.
Beautiful job on the mural so far!!!
So so talented!
Beautiful!
What a creative bunch, I love it!
Again, an absolutely beautifully fun video. 😍
Wonderful video.Thank you for sharing
Here in NZ it's a scon. Butter, jam then whipped cream.
Ooooh! I have been waiting for this reveal... I'll be back after I watch....
I knew this mural was going to be stunning because you are a marvelous painter. The beginning steps do not disappoint, this first reveal only increases the anticipation. It is always a pleasure to see your family and friends drop in. It was great to see your pup improving after his surgery. On to Italy!
Vivienne, your mural is already looking beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished landscape! Every house, I ever owned, I painted a mural. Unfortunately, when I moved to Texas from D.C., I was stricken with a rare genetic disease, and can longer paint. This brought back so many great memories watching you begin to do this. I'm traveling to Sarasota in October and was hoping to see your sister singing in concert somewhere. Unfortunately not. I checked her calendar of upcoming dates, and know she will not have a concert that month. I'm going to see my sister, and am as excited as you when you see your's! Thank you always for your wonderful uplifting and artistic vlogs!
When my cat would cross her paws, I called it her Royal Portrait pose, ready to meet the Queen. 🐾 ❤ 👑
I actually had a cat named princess for that very reason ...so refined!
Vivian and the gang thank you for this enjoyable vlog after a never ending week I had this put a huge smile on my face ❤
Yes on t-shirts!
The mural is beginning to look spectacular, can't wait to see it finished. Love watching your girlie time, you have such fun!
Definitely scone (as in scowne not scon) with jam spread first as a good base for a huge mountain of clotted cream. Any other way is just wrong! 🤣To go the extra mile I sometimes cut fresh strawberries up and partially sink them into the top of the mountain of cream too. However which way, I suppose it all tastes good. Each to his own! xx
Vivienne, you are so talented! The mural is looking so beautiful. Was wondering what was happening with that project, and wow worth the wait. Will be nice to see it when finished ❤ Isabella, you are very talented as well. The sweaters you made are beautiful in the granny stitch.
Thank you, Donna! 🥰🏰💖
So talented 😊
Looking forward to see your murial
The gals all had a great time by the look of it. It is scone for me. Jam first with dollop of cream on top.😂 Baudelaire is beautiful. It is good to see him weight bear on his affected limb. The mural will be beautiful. Enjoy Paris.❤
Wonderful video!!
Love from a sleepy Mary in Southern California 💗
Jam , definitely first.
You’re an amazing artist!!! Be proud!! Love your channel.
Lots of love from Michigan ❤
Here from Michigan as well. Howdy neighbor....!!!
You all inspire me to tap into my artistic side Thank you. Keep up the wonderful work. In Australia we call the Scones and put jam first with a dollop of cream on top. Not sure if its the the proper way but that's how I do it and its amazing.
And now your sister singing Carlos Jobim, Water to Drink. Perfection equal to the talent revealing itself on the walls.
You are so kind. 🏰💖
Jam first - means you can put much more cream on top 😊
Jam first then cream I’m a Yorkshire lass from Harrogate but my Husband who is a Dorset man is from Blandford has cream first then jam 😂😁
I dry the celery leaves and then put them in dishes or soups. and then you can add them to soups. You will always have celery leaves on hand and they are fresh. It may take several days or up to a week to dry them.
My mother and aunts quilted. Later in life she made very elaborate and beautiful patterns in each person's favorite color. But as a little girl, quilts were made from the remnants of everyone's worn out clothing. The unborn pieces of fabric were salvaged and pieced together. There still were many patterns, but it was fun to remember this piece was from my baby sister's dress or my brother's shirt, etc. Those are the most precious memories for me because it keeps one's lived one's close. I think Isabella might like a project like that. Get Sarah to teach her how to sew if she doesn't know already. The sweaters she crocheted were amazing.
Absolutely adorable with all of you together! Loved it!!! 🥰👍
I am so surprised that your vlog has not reached 10x more viewers. You're whole family is SO talented, obviously intellectual, sophisticated, with a cosmopolitan humour. Fabulous taste in decor, with a posh lifestyle.
Whenever I see a new episode, I forward it to all my girlfriends to increase your viewership.
Greetings from Toronto Canada.
You make such interesting vlogs always enjoy watching you all x
Such a talented artist you are, Vivian. Beautiful!
Wow 🎉xxx
1. Butter 2. jam. 3. cream, and it is a scon with the hard sound. I am from South Africa
What a fantastic job on that mural! Well done
Wow 🎉🎉🎉, you have a talent that is second to none!!!❤❤❤Love, love, love it🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I'm Cornish and it's jam first and then cream. In Devon they do the opposite.
You have more talent in your pinky finger than I will ever have. I am in awe.
Thank you but I’m sure you have many talents! 🥰🏰💖
Loved this very full vlog. You chateaulains really care for each other and it shows. Wonderful friends and families you all have. You are very blessed. Thank you for a great vlog to follow Vivienne.
Oooh! I love every single thing in your vlog today. So much good energy! Love the crochet and your sister's blouse. Johnny Was? Sage is my favorite color. Can't wait to see the final reveal of the bathroom. Love the mix of classical and your sister's jazz. I'm a near vegan and also a sucker for beautiful cauliflower. Thanks for showing how wonderful veggies can be. I'm anemic and will be spending some time dealing with no longer needed organs soon. Thanks for sharing all the lovely vibes, family, friends, art, food and animal friends.
Thank you for your sweet message. Sending you lots of love and hang in there. I too lost a lot of no-longer-needed-organs over the last few years and definitely felt better as a result. Keep up your good spirits. You’ve got this! 🥰🏰💖
Scone rhyme with Stone and definitely Jam first ( most of my Family live in Cornwall)xx
Can't agree.
That’s how we Americans say it, but the proper British way is “sconz”.
Before the arrival of television or even the radio the number of different accents and even dialects in the British isles were vast ...for such a comparatively small area compared to the American continent. The diversity of accents is still amazing. My ex-husband is English & even within his own family there were a variety of accents. He played violin for Covent Garden and worked to "refine" his accent (a BBC British accent?) ...his parents sounded to my ears like Eliza Doolittle, but being from Leicester my ex assured me it wasn't a cockney accent. This is long way of saying that there are many ways to pronounce the same word in different parts of Great Britain.

I always enjoy your vlogs because they entertain but are also thoughtful in your selections to broadcast. Today’s was exquisite on so many layers: two other vloggers whom I love were highlighted, the vineyards, your interaction with your daughter and friends to die for! Your art is always a highlight as well as your unique jewelry finds. Thanks for taking us along. A plus was Tania’s cooking!
Thank you so much!! 🥰🏰💖
Really loved the relaxing cello music and watching you paint!!! Could’ve watched for hours!❤
Well it’s scones for me and always jam first and then some freshly whipped cream and then for some savoury scones it could be finely chopped bacon and cheese or a little onion.🇦🇺🙋♀️
Fun times😊
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tell your sister I love her singing and music is beautiful.
Agree with the Devonian (the only proper way) to eat a scone. Cream first to ensure a pillow for homemade jam. Strawberry is traditional but blackcurrant jam is a good diversion. P.S Mural is divine.
Forgot….clotted cream from the Boston girl! I love it! I buy it since my trip in England. No jelly. We call jam jelly in New England lol.
Love this video! Art, music, fascinating food, beautiful walk in vineyards. Such talent all in one place!❤😊
your creativity is simply wonderful .. making all things possible 🥰
Another delightful vlog! Thank you Vivian for all the smiles. I can’t tell you how much it warms my heart. ❤❤❤
Love love Isabell’s bedroom. Gorgeous 🌼💘💝🫠
nice life!
Did I mention this before? Anytime I see a pull chain I think of the modern toilet’s inventor, Mr. Thomas Crapper. Yes, that was his name.
