Brava!👏Well done! May I contribute with.... “You can have gateau on a bateau at the chateau whilst guests sip champagne on the terraced plateau, gazing down at the BEAUTY and Splender below”
Dear Stephanie, I was there with my late Husband a few years ago, we loved it, I remember the bedroom and the wallpaper , and the piano, my Husband played piano and his name was Philip. We also went into the stone folly too, It was a very hot day , and it was a holiday to remember, I have a DVD of it all with pictures and music which I made, thank you for taking me there again, thank You both, so glad you are feeling well again Stephanie xx
Truly a Masterpiece! Thank you dear Stephanie and Philip for sharing this very special place and day you had with us. You are both a blessing to me and so many. Now, in my best Mummy voice: Step-ha-nie! You should be resting! shhh....(Mom's do know best)! Drats. LOL!
Being someone who wears heels every day, even in the most uncomfortable and inappropriate situations, Stephanie makes me feel so much better about it and I love that she just doesn't let the wrong choice of shoes stop her from climbing on nets and walking on uneven stones in the forest. I love your take on life and how bubbly and joyful you are in any situation, a genuine ray of sunshine.
Stephanie, aside from the beautiful topiary, what made this episode excellent is the rapport between you and Philip! You two are hilarious together, like two peas in a pod!
" We'd better get a wiggle on...that's a lot of box-hedging." LOL Loved your childhood "the sun has got a meeting with the moon" story, Stephanie - do wish you would've sung it for us though...maybe another time . "It's going downhill quickly now...do you mean the video or the path?" So enjoyed the banter throughout the explore...good job facing your "fear of heights", Philip! "His gardens have once again inspired poetry" - I work in an elementary school and enjoy poetry times - loved watching the process of creating your "chateau girl" limerick :) What beautiful village/manor house vistas throughout! "The question is...do we want to find the exit?" Beautiful peacock appearance to end....Thank you for this lovely, lovely walk .
Being a gardener since age eight, plants surround me in my dreams like best friends. I believe in the intelligence of plants, and that they give love. They throw their branches out for you, and love it if you carry off their produce, and flowers. They are millions of years older, just upside down with their heads in the ground. In my dreams they move as if they can float across the ground. Sometimes I think they remind me to water.
My only complaint about your videos is how much my face hurts from smiling through the whole thing! Thank you for taking us along on your explorations!
Really awesome. You and Philip really do a superb job presenting historical sites and gardens. Trips like these probably give you more inspiration for what to do in your forest and in the chateau.
What a joy you and Philip are! Your laugh is so contagious and you seem to be having relaxing time together! Thank you Philip for watching over Stephanie as she recovers. 🥀🥀🥀😍🐝🐝
I can’t believe Philip and I were born in the same year. The fact that someone else my age has an overwhelming appreciation for historical design is very exciting!
A wonderful place! We visited on a Thursday evening several summers ago when musicians performed throughout the gardens lit by thousands of glimmering lights - and were entertained by dazzling dancing faeries atop stilts - magical!
Do you realize the happiness that you bring to people? Thank you so very much Stephanie and Philip. We all have our fears but they can be overcome , by beauty and that’s what the world needs more beauty. I love the song that your mother sang about the moon and the sun.
I am in love with those lavender shutters and the little “Japanese Garden” and pool! Actually, I can’t think of anything there not to love. So much attention went into the details...absolutely breathtaking! I think this little time away has been the best medicine for our beloved Chatelaine.🌸
You guys are nuts. In a happy, innocent and loving sort of way. I just wish I could be there enjoying with you. The Château is magnificent and I could definitely see some of the features there at La Lande. I recently bought a home in Puerto Rico with an acre of land on the top of a mountain. This video also gives me ideas for my property. Thank you for that. As far as Philip‘s fear of heights I totally get it. I also am terrified of heights. He did much better that I would have. I would never get nowhere near that railing. With that said I think Phillip’s hair looks awesome in this video. I had my hair very long also and recently cut it all off. Actually I had shaved my head. It’s grown back now but I don’t think I will ever grow it out that long again. Thank you so much fir all your videos. I have been going through some rough times and Covid hasn’t made it any better. But your videos make me smile and take me away from the humdrum feeling of life. I live in West Palm Beach, Florida and I’ve been here for 25 years now and I’m ready to make some changes in my life. My original plan was to move to southern France but the current circumstances haven’t allowed me to do so. That’s the reason I purchased a property in Puerto Rico. Aside from it being my birthplace, it is also very beautiful. I would so much love to be a patreon but my finances don’t allow it at the moment. However, I have watched all your videos and have enjoyed them all. Thank you for being so vibrant and motivating. I don’t know how you do it but you always have a smile on your face even through the roughest of times. You are truly blessed. Take care and continue your amazing work.
One of the most joyful videos I have ever seen and you kept a smile on my face from beginning to end, with the far too occasional laughs for my own good!!!
Thank you for taking me on a journey outside of my hospital bed. Spinal Surgery done, now to just get stronger so I can visit La Lande. Ps - Phillip, your hair looks beautiful today. All soft curls and not a beanie in sight !! xxxx
Okay, firstly there was the heights and the nervous laughter with Phillip. I fully get why he jumped and said not to push him because I lose all trust in even my husband when on a high edge. Then there was the children's play area netting scene that had me in stitches and then there was the limerick. The garden's are spectacular and I'm sure you got many wonderful ideas for La Lande but for sheer entertainment I only need Stephanie and Phillip. Much love to you and I hope you continue to recuperate fully.
I believe the tiny paths are there for the garden maintenance. I particularly love the parlour with delicate wallpaper, lovely upholstery all the same fabric, order and simplicity combined with elegance.
That romp through the tree netting was priceless! Also the view of La Roque Gageac took my breath away. I've been wanting to visit there for years. Seeing it in the distance on today's vlog - it was like I was being transported into a dream. Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon treat.
I liked the part where Stephanie thought Phillip was going to say that Dan and the tree surgeon were waiting for her to take down the large tree. It made me chuckle. I so love these vlogs. I love the humour. Phillip is a good sport.
One of my hobby jobs is landscape design! This is the most incredible garden structure I've ever seen. Thank you Stephanie & Philip for filming this stunning living art!!!
Love the spot at the end when you just let us absorb the evening sunlight over the garden with the birds twittering--it transported me there for a moment.
Just absolutely wonderful stroll in the gardens. I think it was very therapeutic for you Stephanie, you seem so happy and connected with the whole experience. Thanks for inviting us too!
I love Marquessac and cannot wait until I get to visit again, but one thing I havent done is go in the evening, when visitors are encouraged to wear white, bring a picnic and be stunned by the night-time illuminations and entertainment. Definitely something to do on our next visit.
So much beauty! The landscape was not the only beautiful thing. The friendship you two seem to have, the shared adventure, the big smiles, and all the laughter - it was so beautiful to experience. You've allowed us to have fun and feel joy vicariously. Thank you!!
Thanks for all the joy you bring to all of us. And for sharing with us this beautiful, very sunny, and funny “ballade champêtre”. You know you are also quit close from the Château des Milandes (house of Josephine Baker). But I don’t know if it is open at the moment.
This is absolutely an amazing place!!! Beautiful, magical, inspiring... and you are right, it does not need flowers, it is a piece of art, a sculpture. Everything is thoughtfully orchestrated to transport the visitor... Merci beaucoup Stephanie et Philippe de nous faire visiter ces coins de France que peut-être nous n´aurions jamais vu. La France est un petit pays mais il y a tellement à voir. J´espère y retourner... Bon retour à Lalande et portez-vous bien!!!
Your R & R is doing wonders for you Stephanie (and Philip). What a beautiful Chateau and that garden is just gorgeous. Can hardly wait to see your gardens and the lake and everything mature. As the saying goes "So much to do, so little time." Just take more R & R's between all your work. (R & R = Rest & Recuperation) Hugs ~ Louise
Debbie here, Wa. 👩🌾. You 2 crack me..🤣😂🤣. thanks for the laughs and the tour of the lovely gardens
Just think, when you re-instate the lake at Lalande, you can have gateau on the bateau at the chateau.
Brava!👏Well done! May I contribute with....
“You can have gateau on a bateau at the chateau whilst guests sip champagne on the terraced plateau, gazing down at the BEAUTY and Splender below”
I just couldn’t resist, 😊
Hope it’s ok. 🌼🌸🌺
Love it!
Joanna, that was the shit
But being sun-safe, while wearing a chapeau 🇦🇺
Both of you are so cute together today here. So much you two have in common.👍❤️😄🤟
Thanks Stephanie and Phillip for the wonderful tour of the gardens of Marqueyssac. Janice from USA
Stephanie you look so much better now .Phillip is such a very good travel companion x
What beautiful gardens love your channel Stephanie i find myself constantly laughing along with you and Philip and all at lalande such lovely people.

Your forgot climbing the stepladder’s as well.
I so much loved the stunning tour of the gardens of the Chateau de Marqueyssac - THANKS for sharing.

I love the Moon 🌙 story!
What a joy you and Philip are! Your laugh is so contagious and you seem to be having relaxing time together! Thank you Philip for watching over Stephanie as she recovers. 🥀🥀🥀😍🐝🐝
I can’t believe Philip and I were born in the same year. The fact that someone else my age has an overwhelming appreciation for historical design is very exciting!
This place is not only gorgeous, it is magical !!!
Enchanting like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with Stephanie and her gallant knight Sir Phillippe!
I can’t believe a year ago Stephanie was in quarantine after her mad journey home. Where has the time gone? So much has happened at La Lande. 😀🥰
I agree. Time certainly flies
Seems like yesterday she found Selmar parking near the gate and Maman was already getting him tasks!🥰
A wonderful place! We visited on a Thursday evening several summers ago when musicians performed throughout the gardens lit by thousands of glimmering lights - and were entertained by dazzling dancing faeries atop stilts - magical!
Those hedges were fan tastic! Great effect. Hope you can design a curvylicious maze at Lalande!
Do you realize the happiness that you bring to people? Thank you so very much Stephanie and Philip. We all have our fears but they can be overcome , by beauty and that’s what the world needs more beauty. I love the song that your mother sang about the moon and the sun.
Philip's luscious curls never disappoint

Philip giving me Gary Oldman as Count Dracula vibes, especially in those sun glasses.
We once attented a "nocturne "here ... thousands of candles, night lights, etc ... it was gorgeous !
Wow I can imagine
Oh how amazing. I don’t have a “ bucket list” , but I have just started one with this on the top.
I'm glad she's feeling better. She has such and awesome personality. I love watching
The most spectacular gardens ever 😃 you were like two little children exploring a secret garden and it was such a beautiful day.
This lifted my spirit as I was feeling crabby and found myself unexpectedly smiling at you two. ♥ Thank you! ♥
So glad that Stephanie is feeling better. Nature and fresh air and sunshine always great medicine.🌼🌿🌸🌱🌷🌲💝
Thanks so much - this video inspired us to go to the gardens of course but also visit the region which we totally loved. Have a great day !

You’re sounding better Steph. Thanks for taking us with you on your break
Philips shirt can be called a Poloneck shirt.
Because I know the future, the seens from Stephanie and Pbilip together is so adorable.
Pure gravy, Stefanie & Philip, pure gravy. The gardens, the walks, the views, the boxwood hedges in the forrest, the square tower etc. pure gravy.
What a wonderful day they had! I’ve been trying to figure out for weeks....are they a couple?
One of the most joyful videos I have ever seen and you kept a smile on my face from beginning to end, with the far too occasional laughs for my own good!!!
Thank you for taking me on a journey outside of my hospital bed. Spinal Surgery done, now to just get stronger so I can visit La Lande. Ps - Phillip, your hair looks beautiful today. All soft curls and not a beanie in sight !! xxxx
Wishing you a speedy and successful mend. I have had spinal surgery anx got MRSA at the hospital. It was awful. You seem in good spirits - great sign
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wishing you all the best and a quick recovery.🍀Suzon
Lucky Stephanie. What an amazing place. Breathtaking.
Stephanie and Phillip thank you this chateau is beautiful the gardens stunning 🤩💖🤩
I am loving Philip’s hair like that!!! It reminds me of the uncle’s hair from the movie The Secret Garden.
Okay, firstly there was the heights and the nervous laughter with Phillip. I fully get why he jumped and said not to push him because I lose all trust in even my husband when on a high edge. Then there was the children's play area netting scene that had me in stitches and then there was the limerick. The garden's are spectacular and I'm sure you got many wonderful ideas for La Lande but for sheer entertainment I only need Stephanie and Phillip. Much love to you and I hope you continue to recuperate fully.
Love the way Stephanie and Phillip get along!
I believe the tiny paths are there for the garden maintenance. I particularly love the parlour with delicate wallpaper, lovely upholstery all the same fabric, order and simplicity combined with elegance.
Oh my Goddess, what an overwhelming feeling viewing such breathtaking gardens, with you both. Brightest Blessings!
That romp through the tree netting was priceless! Also the view of La Roque Gageac took my breath away. I've been wanting to visit there for years. Seeing it in the distance on today's vlog - it was like I was being transported into a dream. Thank you for a great Sunday afternoon treat.
“We better get a wiggle on.” ❤️❤️❤️ your British expressions!
I am so jealous how far ahead you are in spring even though by my calculations you are about 10° north latitude of where I am located in the US.
And it is amazing how similar this chateau looks to Lalande. They could be sisters!
I thought this was a western (like cowboy) expression!
It is actually an american expression. The brits borrowed it from you, yanks, but britishized it to 'wriggle.'
Has anyone else noticed how Phillips hair is so on point?!!! He looks gorgeous!!!!
Another wonderful episode, watching you two is such a delight!
That evening light on the both of you is awesome. Glad you had such a a good day.
These two make me so happy.. Just enjoying their friendship and the beauty of life..
Agreed :)
Absolutely brilliant. Such humor. Love Phillip and Stephanie.
It's like the novel, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett! I love the hidden passageways ❤❤❤
One of my favourite movies!
You thank your Patrons and I thank you for saving me today from a difficult day. Thank you. So enjoyed the beauty out in nature.
The spot where there was a view through the trees where Stephanie said looks like a painting - the trees framed it with a heart ❤😊
Merci Beaucoup Stephanie and Phillip for taking us on your journeys!
Looks like Heaven. Just unbelievable!! Springtime in France. What could be more perfect?
I just bought a book on beautiful gardens in Europe because of Stephanie.
I can add,Spode,100 stars gowns,etc,etc,etc!
@@jaynegrunnill3705 ha ha, me too 😊
Have you watched Monty Don? Lots of his garden travel programs on TH-cam. They are awesome!
@@emmadavey3892 I haven’t but I am going to now !
OMG! What an absolutely beautiful Château and the views are stunning. Thank you Stephanie and Phillip for sharing this day with me.
Such beautiful words coming out of Stephanie her mouth !!! YES rebuild the little towers YES :-)
Philip reminds me of the film Star. David Niven.. A great compliment to him. Beautiful gardens.
I liked the part where Stephanie thought Phillip was going to say that Dan and the tree surgeon were waiting for her to take down the large tree. It made me chuckle.
I so love these vlogs. I love the humour. Phillip is a good sport.
Two charming people in a gorgeous garden, Thank you.
One of my hobby jobs is landscape design! This is the most incredible garden structure I've ever seen. Thank you Stephanie & Philip for filming this stunning living art!!!
Love Stephanie her glasses !! Beautiful
Thank you for taking me to places I will probably not get to myself 🙂 Amazing x
Love the spot at the end when you just let us absorb the evening sunlight over the garden with the birds twittering--it transported me there for a moment.
Ahhhhh..so relaxing, especially when the birds happily chirping in the background. Luv the brother/sister relationship of Philip & Stephanie!
Thank you, Stephanie and Phillip, for taking us on such a spectacular stroll the the beautiful gardens!!
21:54 My hands are perspiring looking down so I sympathize with you Philip. What a gorgeous chateau and garden, thank you for the visit. 🙂🏞️💛🌳🥂
Just absolutely wonderful stroll in the gardens. I think it was very therapeutic for you Stephanie, you seem so happy and connected with the whole experience. Thanks for inviting us too!
Oh the treasures of France ! Xx Life enhancing garden, life enhancing poetry and award worthy gate opening xxx
I love Marquessac and cannot wait until I get to visit again, but one thing I havent done is go in the evening, when visitors are encouraged to wear white, bring a picnic and be stunned by the night-time illuminations and entertainment. Definitely something to do on our next visit.
The new channel... Chateaux limericks.... will premier very soon.
As always Stephanie and Philip provided a beautiful tour and history lesson. Such a beautiful château and grounds.
So much beauty! The landscape was not the only beautiful thing. The friendship you two seem to have, the shared adventure, the big smiles, and all the laughter - it was so beautiful to experience. You've allowed us to have fun and feel joy vicariously. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for taking us along to see the gardens! So much inspiration and beauty! 💚💙💚
I LOVED your story of the sun and the moon! It looks beautiful there... I hope you are RESTING too!
It would be wonderful if you made so,e secret gardens, mazes, hides, holes and a glamorous tree house for cocktails in the canapies 😍
Thanks for all the joy you bring to all of us. And for sharing with us this beautiful, very sunny, and funny “ballade champêtre”. You know you are also quit close from the Château des Milandes (house of Josephine Baker). But I don’t know if it is open at the moment.
This was really so much fun. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for visiting Sarlat and Marqueyssac! I have been and loved them both! You have rekindled some very happy memories for me. Thanks, again!
"I mean..it looks..DON'T YOU DARE PUSH ME!" 😂😂😂
This is absolutely an amazing place!!! Beautiful, magical, inspiring... and you are right, it does not need flowers, it is a piece of art, a sculpture.

Said in my best Mummy voice "Stephanie, you should be resting!"
I can actually hear that in my head now.
Indeed. 😤
True....but understand how this outing would be rejuvenating.
They've certainly done plenty of walking since they've been away
Mais oui, Mademoiselle Stephanie, mais oui...
Oh Phillip, I feel your fear of heights! My stomach drops just watching you stand at the edge. I know that was a huge effort and YOU DID IT!!.👍🏻😁
I’m with Philip, that shot over the side made my heart race... anxiety creeping in. lol. A most beautifully done video... thank you.
Magic garden. Great video!!!
Yeah. This is now earlier than before in my part of the world. Cant wait for daylight saving here next week so i can watch these vlogs before work.
@@mmm365 New zealand 😍
Me too!!😀
Beautiful and you are looking healthy and I really love Phil humor
Most beautiful of gardens. Respect Phillip, the "dont you dare push me moment," was hilarious. 🤣😂🤣 Well done tho, very brave. 🙌
Charming, absolutely charming.
So proud of you Philip!
I love the chemistry between you two!
Such a beautiful Chateau, thank you for sharing it with us Stephanie & Philip 💖
Stephanie, you seem to be feeling really good! I hope you get a really long rest when you get back!
she went away t o get a rest, all she's done is go galavanting around the countryside, she dioesn't know the meaning of the word 'rest'
As they say change is as good as a rest !
The little openings in the tall hedges reminds me a bit of one of my favorite books growing up: The Secret Garden. That is so pretty.
Ahhh yes
Ohh ! The Secret Garden ! 💖
Your R & R is doing wonders for you Stephanie (and Philip). What a beautiful Chateau and that garden is just gorgeous. Can hardly wait to see your gardens and the lake and everything mature. As the saying goes "So much to do, so little time." Just take more R & R's between all your work. (R & R = Rest & Recuperation) Hugs ~ Louise
Waouh !!!! C’est magnifique !!! Merci Stéphanie pour cette découverte et cette visite !!!
🌸🌸🌸
That was wonderful. Thank you for taking the tims out of your enforced rest to give us a tour of the stunning chateau and gardens
