Hey, as far as the timing of of your Vlogs- You do what makes you happy and according to Your schedule, as you are able! Try not to stress too much, and remember to enjoy and have fun! You have your hands full and we are lucky to get frequent Vlogs IMHO.
It was so thoughtful and generous of Viviene to bring individually selected gifts for everyone. The table looked fabulous as always as did the meal.
Sweet lady, Vivienne xðâĪ
I really like all around the table and watch their channel's xâĪ
Vivian is so thoughtful and very generous. What a lovely lady.
I don't watch their channel but I know who Vivienne is, and her husband who has a beautiful smile.
I don't know anyone else other than those who live at LaLande
A fabulous weekend :). Vivienne you are a sweetheart âĪ
I don't care how early or how late you post your videos, when I get a notification I'm there. Love your vlogs!âĪ
I like Nattie's desk, but I like Nattie's jacket more! It's so pretty, especially against the room colors,
Yes, her jacket caught my eye, too! Lovely!
I didn't recognize Natty, at all, she has become a beauty.
Nati you looked amazing in that green jacket
I totally agree! Beautiful!
I agree very professional. Good color for her!
I know Marie loved doing her floristry but she seems to love cooking even more. And the feedback is quite rewarding for her. Yay!
Our lovely Marie deserved a brooch. âĪïļ
She got one! ðð°ð
@@ChateauLove Wonderful! They were all so very lovely! ðâĪïļ
What a great group of friends, thanks for letting us come along.
Just a thought. I think Phillip should put a glass top on the desk if Natalie is using it daily for work just to protect it and make it look beautiful longer. Awesome job. And congrats again!!
SO IMPORTANT!!! ...I have a chinoiserie black lacquer low coffee table similar to Stephanies that I keep covered in beveled glass because of its artistic/craftmanship value ...but it is slightly lower than Stephanie's and somewhat wider (almost like a low-style eating table) ... and with white iridescent (w/ pink & blue highlights) mother-of-pearl inlay of a male & a female peacock(s) and flowers & stylized framing or edging. It is very detailed & lovely. I've told my husband to send it to Stephanie if I pass before him. I hope that is a long time away!! ðĶððĶ
Marie is shining like the beautiful light that she is!âĪ
We loved every second of this glorious weekend! Thank you for laughs, the shopping, the treasures, and friends old and new. Until next time, darlings! ð°ðð°ðð°ðð°ð
Vivian, the gifts you gave to every one were absolutely beautiful. You have a heart of gold.
Love Natiâs green jacket, she looks beautiful today ð
Every once in a while you include a bit of footage of a drive through the countryside, either going or coming from the chateau. The music you use to accompany the footage is so beautiful. Thank you!! ðĻðĶ
Love the room, but loved Nattie's cardigan. The color is beautiful. Looks so wonderful on her. Have fun
It looked like an artisan piece and the turquoise color was stunning. Btw if Nattie is happy behind the divan then we should all be happy. She wants to see who is coming through the gate so that specific spot is her ideal perch. Also, I was thinking her printer could go on a fancy coffee cart on wheels perhaps made of brass/antique. That way it could be wheeled out of the way quickly when the piano bench needed to be in place for a performance.
Please, where did Nattie get the cardigan? So beautiful.
Marie, all I can say is God is good!!! All the families you have cultivated Stephanie is wonderful, working together is so precious. Natie and Amaury's work is amazing. Phillip, love all your selections.
A frumpy nighty assures one of a peaceful nights sleep.
Precious Marie. Always taking care of everyone's meals so beautifully.
steve is very tallented.
great to see Marie looking so happy. what a creative cook.
I use to bartend at News CafÃĐ in South Beach Florida ..maybe you've heard of itâĶ It was the last place Gianni Versace was at before his life was taking...I only misseed him by a few hours when I was working, we had some of the best desserts I think even today in my life I've ever had... their at News CafÃĐ. We used to have tiramisu that we would punch about 10 holes in it with a straw while it was laying on its side and pour about a half a shot of amaretto over top of that and serve that with an espresso/Frangelico flavored latte. It is so lovely. It's a perfect late night pick-me-up or a day luncheon dessert.
Whenever Phillip really wants something, he says his grandmother had one. I am picturing his grandmotherâs house. ð
The dogs got along so well! Lancelot really needs a companion! ðķðķðĪðĪ
Yup, sure looks like it! ð
Marie IS amazing! She must be physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day. Beautiful meals, beautiful presentations. So much fun seeing all of you together. This was such a joy to watch. Thank you Stephanie and company!
You should get a Ring doorbell or camera on the gate that will also alert Natty that visitors have come through the gate. I was quite against getting a ring doorbell for our house (but we saw a good deal on Amazon black friday) but it has actually been a godsend and alerted us to a man coming to our door with a toolbox at 2am. We are sure that he was going to pick our lock but when he saw the ring camera and sign saying that he was on camera, he swore and literally rang back down our driveway. I think it stopped him breaking into our home. I also love that it detects movement so we always know when anyone is coming to our door, plus being able to talk to deliveries through the doorbells when we are away from home. Xxx
The gold plate settings really complimented the food beautifully and such a sweet time for all. The food was fabulously done kudos Marie âĪ
Wow Marie is cooking up some delicious looking food. And love where Nati is making her new office space. Fun you all got together and swapping stuff with each other.
What Natti wants, Natti gets, in a good way. âĪ She can see the guests arriving and stand to meet them, plus her desk top is hidden. âĪ
Perfect for her and a great need is granted. She is a lovely person! This will make her job a little easier and bring her out to the people and they do not need to look so far for her . Nati is humble and yet so highly intelligent and never bragging about it in anyway, Much experience too for her position! Glad it works out for everyone !
It looks like the Chateau swap was a great success. Canât wait to see all the treasures âĪâĪâĪ
Delightful coming together! Vivienne is so generous with her thoughtfully chosen, exquisite gifts! And brava Marie! Another triumph! Beautiful table settings as always, dear Philip. âĪ
So special to see all my TH-cam friends together thank you
Marie has definitely found her new passion!
I think Stephanie has already explained why they are so late in the evening, but here in Australia it's o ly 1pm âĪ
OMG there is an Emmaus at Le Blanc! I have a house 5kms away! There is no hope for me nowð
I love the wallpaper Steve digitized!
Love it as it is. Do not whiten it. Maybe just a shade or two lighter. It's Magnificent âĪ
I feel the same! The background looks like a pale gold to me and picks up some of the color in the ornate design.
Oh... you spoil us, a brocante shopping spree! Bet you all had a great time.. lovely to see you all together.
And, the always smiling and beautiful Vivienne, so generous with gifts for everyone at dinner... just look at Marie's cooking, yum! Loved the dog play... is L saying, please come again! âĪðĶ
Marie's cooking has been looking amazing, but that deconstructed tiramisu made me want to dive through the screen and eat it. Keep up the good work, Marie, you're doing an awesome job!
I know right?
Steph, Philip and chateau friends, you all should have a progressive stay week. Book a certain amount of people who stay at one chateau for a couple of days then move to the next chateau to stay etc. that would be a fun week to visit each of the chateaux.
What fun to have so many friends come stay. Thanks for the vlog.
I was thinking they could pitch the "progressive stay" plan to guests/travelers who want to stay at different chateaus as a way of traveling around France as tourists to see more of the country than the typical tourist(s). Perhaps these special guests who stayed at (at least) three chateaus would get a discount of some sort. Unless they are completely booked up all season ...this may be a way of getting even more customers.
Vivienne is so lovely
I love being with you when you are visiting antique shops and other places looking for treasure. Itâs fun to see whatâs available and at what cost. âĪ
It is wonderful to see you all together. Vivienne is so sweet, thoughtful, and has great taste. Marie is an absolute inspiration!
Vivienne is so thoughtful and lovely to bring all those wonderful gifts.
What a delightful group of chateau owners to share in a day of antiquing. .
What a great idea! It looks like so much fun. A little down time for the Chateau owners. A little exchange of things to be loved again. And all the great conversation and friendship. Perfect. And I can't forget to say how amazing all the food looks. You are all very lucky to have her.
Absolutely loved it !
Stephanie could try on a black bin bag and still look incredible! âĪ...love this channel and all its positivity âĪð
My mom used to say "She'd look great in a potato sack" when describing someone like Grace Kely or Audrey Hepburn. ðâšðĪĢ
This gathering of friends is a GREAT DRESS REHEARSAL for Marie and her culinary creations before your B&B Season starts.âĪð
wow! It was wonderful to see all the chateau owners together. That had to be one great visit. All the people I watch in vlogs except one couple I didn't recognize. Could you introduce all the couples to us? Really enjoyed the vlog.
I just absolutely adore Viviene.
She is Lovely inside and out.
Those matching water pitcher jugs were pretty.
And it was very sweet and generous for her to bring jewelry for everyone. Some beautiful pieces.
That was lovely as always, thank you so much! ðŦķððŦķ
Marie, I think itâs incredible what you doâĶ your meals look just as gorgeous as your flower arrangements do, chapeau! ð
I have to say, as someone who knows just enough about digital art to be dangerous, Steveâs work on the wallpaper is absolutely incredible! I am blown away. That must have been so difficult. He truly has so much skill and patience.
What a lovely example of friendships and Marie it all looked amazing x
That headpiece looks fabulous Stephanie....great look for your wedding....very sophisticated!!!
omg Natty is channeling Elsa Schiaparelli big time!!ðĪĐ
What a HAPPY get together! Lancelot has made a new friend, Baudelaire, how sweet!!! Wonderful table settings, flowers and gourmet food! And of course Vivienne's gifts, absolutely spot on gorgeous for everyone!
Dogs being pack animals, I think he needs a buddy!
Marie!!! I haven't commented yet, just observed. Wow! Outstanding! Brava!! You are amazing! Your creative heart and skill is seen in every thoughtful dish presentation. âĪ
Omg am I possibly that someone? I know I made thst comment but it was a long time ago! Regardless I think it's the bees knees that you've decided to get in touch with other ChÃĒtelaines when there's lovely things that need rehoming! And SO great to see you all together hunting for treasures, eating and having a good time. I'm thrilled to see little Lancelot find a best friend of his species! It's so important dogs have other pupps to relate to, and although I'm sure Molly does care more than she lets on, Baudelaire is just that bestie he really needed to look forward to playing with again ð I'm shocked, 46 ⎠for all those Luneville plates?! My mum has that exact set, with the big pink tulips, it makes me so nostalgic. I'm sure she payed alot more than that once upon a time in France. I think Natties strategy for her desk is superb. And the daybed in there brightened up the room. I didn't know you've gotten bees now at Lalande! That's wonderful! I always had a secret dream of keeping bees one day, as I enjoyed going with an older relative to tend them and collect honey many moons ago.
It's always great to contribute to healthy bee populations and pollination, although I know it involves alot of know how and very careful care. It makes me so very angry that some of the vile American insecticides previously banned have now been given the green light in Europe. I'm very worried for the bees and birds. If you can, please sign the petitions of protest against this circulating social media atm. It can make a difference (it's happened before!)
Big love to all of you! âĪ
Loved this video, everyone enjoying each otherâs company. Marie, your cooking is masterful!
I laughed out loud at that âweddingâ hat. Thanks!
Loved the brooches (pins)! Reminded me of the 1990s when I wore antique brooches on the lapel of my business suits (female). Distinguished me from to dark menâs suits that was required business attire for career women of the day.
What a Fun idea to have a little outing and swap!! Marie, everything looks soooooo delicious!!
what a treat to be invited for diner at Lalande! ð great job on the wallpaper! I was wondering what is happening with the tiles for the kitchen, the ones your father work on?
I'm wondering if Steve could digitize what the walls in the chapel will look like when they're done
The combination of the plates and Marieâs dishes looked so pretty together. Loved it! Phillip has such a good eye for setting a table.
What a beautiful gathering of special friends all who own chateaus! Loved the trip with you antiquing but loved most of watching Marie transform food into master pieces. She is amazing and looks so happy.
Viviane and Simon are the best. So funny.
It looks like you all had a great weekend. Great company, food and treasure hunting. ððĻðĶ
This was such an incredible weekend to watch. What fun! Beautiful food by Marie, great company, and amazing treasures via charity shopping! You all should do this each year!
That first peach color vintage silky nighty was gorgeous and hardly frumpy! The second one was definitely a frumpy grandma nighty!
Marie is a gem! To be treasured. Her food looked amazing. She handled cooking, plating, and presenting her dishes like a pro.
Bravo chef Marie!
The whole point of the frumpy nightwear back in the day, I think, was easy access. That's why all our grandmothers had like 96 children.
Oh la la !!! Il est 3h40 du matin et aprÃĻs avoir dÃĐcouvert ce dessertâĶ jâai faim !!
Merci StÃĐphanie et Philip pour cette vidÃĐo fantastique ! Natty portait une trÃĻs jolie veste et elle rÃĻgne sur son poste de travail ðĪ
Quels magnifiques cadeaux ð au repas !! Cette broche te va comme un soleil StÃĐphanie !
Bonne nuit ðĪðī !!!!!
à bientÃīt !
ðļðļðļ
What a fantastic idea to ask other chateau owners over for the weekend for food, shopping and lovely meals. Great table decorating as usual and amazing looking food.
What a wonderful start to a fabulous visit! I loved the veil so much! My mother married in 1966 and wore a pillbox hat with just a small tulle veil. Everyone who sees the photos gushes at the beauty and simplicity and straight away compare the look, along with her dress, to Jacqueline Kennedy. I've preserved it shall i ever marry.
I would seriously consider going back to get it as an option! The tulle could easily be replaced. You looked simply amazing, and it could at least be a base to build upon or just serve as inspiration should you go another direction.
I look forward to the rest of the visit with the gang! What fun!
This is one of my favourite videos so watching again.ðĪĢ ( How about a âCoterie of chatelainesâ or a âcadre of chatelainesâ?ð
A joyous video! Lovely to see you all together at the brocantes finding things for each other. The tablescape is gorgeous and the food looks heavenly. Vivienneâs gifts are perfectly chosen for everyone. I hope you get together like this whenever possible. âĪ
What a lovely evening, how joyful everyone was! Cheers ðĨ
Marie W. & all the past ðĐâðģ ðĻâðģ chefs, & gourmandes/ gourmands, should produce a combo cookbook / table scape book (floral, porcelain, linens, etc.) By season, holiday, or other personal theme... ðĪ maybe highlighting the rÃĐgion or la cuisine or le terroir... put Lancelot on the cover tho!
How do you manage to find such talented chefs? You are so fortunate. They alone seem worth the trip to your chateau. Well you and everyone else add so much as well. Love you all you make my day âĪ
Love all the chateaux owners shopping for bargains & seeing lovely Vivienne & Simon and Sara & Stephen again xxxx
Just delightful! Thank you so much Stephanie.
The Venice painting looks perfect in that room.
It's lovely and the black frame works against the wallpaper. I like the new look of the room.
Steve is so talented with digitizing the wallpaper!!
What could be more better than having all of my favorite TH-cam chatelens together celebrating one another. Love, love, love it! I absolutely loved the brocante shopping. Marie, you really outdid yourself in the kitchen. Vivienne, such elegant gifts for everyone. More please! You all need to do this at least once a season.âĪâĪâĪ
Trading stuff is such a good idea and a good way to just get everyone together for fun and a meal.
Vivian is so kind with her gifts. You can tell she just loves giving!
Little white dog is so cute with lance! Such a fun vlog!
Oh my kindred spirits! What I wouldnât give to be there antiquing! You are all so amazing! Thank you everyone for bringing we the viewers so much joy! We just donât have the history, antiques, or the glorious age of so many special things here in the United States. Hugs from a cowgirl with a regency heart here in Utah!! Hugss!!
I agree and often wished I lived there and shop in those beautiful shops. I always see such beautiful things.
Viviane what great gifts and Marie what wondeful food! It is so good to see everyone together and the Chateau looks fab!
So lovely to see you all together and I follow mostly all of these Chateaulains! Lol Vivienne sprinkles that "Love" wherever she goes, so sweet! Marie is really got some great cooking skills! Sending you all much love! âĪ
Her chateau has the best name! And she is such an angel of charitable neighborliness and friendship. I was missing the Chateau Rossiere chatalaines though. Wish they had been there. It's always nice that those with children have the chance of a social break. Vivienne's antique cameos and jewelry were lovely ...what generous gifts!!
What a lovely video, it was so nice to see other chateau owners all coming together and enjoying each other's company as well as your trip to find treasures. They all seem like such beautiful people, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you Stephanie. Marie is just amazing, she creates spectacular meals, what a treasure she is xxx
Beautiful group of people enjoying each otherâs companyâĶdelightful! Marieâs food artistry was spot on and as always Philipâs table scapes
were perfection. Lancelot with Vivienne and Simonâs dog was priceless. Canât wait for the next episode. Oh and I love Natiâs new desk. ðâĪïļ
Love âĪlove âĪlove âĪ how Vivianâs gifts just so happened to match each of the recipients outfits ! Like she planned it so! Well done everyone in this vlog!
Thank you for the daily vlogs, Stephanie. You work so hard to take us along on your journies and I really appreciate it. Don't wear yourself out and get sick though. We'd all really hate that.
What a wonderful lot of people so insync with yourself and Philip. Vivienne is a Sweetheart her presence is so divine and her smile is a knockout. They would have all left Lalande with full bellies and smiles across their faces and a car boot full of treasures âĪ
Tout mes chouchous sont la, ils ÃĐgayent ma vie !
That color on Natti is great ! Especially with the red and gold wallpaper !!!!
What a very fun video to see all of you together! Looks like the making of a wonderful supper club to me! âĪïļ
It so wonderful to see everyone together in the same vlog!
I would adore eating that meal Marie made well done!!!âĪ
Wonderful to see everyone together and the outing was lovely.
Chateau Diaries bring joy to my day. Couldnât Marie do with some help such amazing fod
What a beautiful time had by beautiful people! So delightful. ðĨ°ðĨ
such a fun vid- makes us feel like we were right there as guests, too
