Dear sweet Percy, smiling while getting in trouble for wandering off, while he secretly had gifts for the girls in his pocket. He is an absolute gem. This vlog made me smile so much, you guys are a delight!!
I so look forward to every posting of Chateau Diaries! I have restored several houses in the United States and cannot begin to imagine the expense in time and money that you have expended on your lovely Chateau! Please accept my sincerest thanks for sharing your family and friends with all of us. It is lovely to feel as though one is a part of your amazing group. Please know that this fan revels in your every adventure!
Such a lovely memory for you and the honeymooners. I remember my visits to Chenonceau and once I was researching Madame Dupin who is buried in the wood at the end of the grand gallery. Such a special place immortalised by the seven women who developed it. I loved "Mummy's" sentiments about Catherine de Medici. Such a woman who did so much, I don't know how she fitted it all in. Perhaps they will be saying that about you Stephanie, you manage to create so much as well as travelling the world, Lalande is lucky to have you and "Mummy". Every good wish to you and I hope to visit you one day . Swan
I think that was a very special Diary Stephanie, wonderful to see the three of you together in such a beautiful Chateau and to hear the history of two competing women was amazing and gives us all far more understanding of the History of France, so Thank you so much for interpreting and bringing it to life in your own inimitable way, Isabella does not think she is funny but in her own sweet but strong way she is, we all love Percy and how wonderful to see them so happy and holding hands, they make a truly beautiful couple. X
Mummy doesn’t realise it but she’s a natural comedienne! I’m with her in Paris at the moment and it’s precious to be able to spend time together like this. I’m so happy you enjoyed the vlog 😊
wow great history. I am amused about the size of that bed. small. and do love tapestry. I discovered some good you tubes on the tudors famly and other royalty. and love you doing these. Your points of view. Just love youtube.! i laugh to myself cause you know we know how large that is and what it must cost to heat.
So sweet of Percy to give you both gifts of the day. As a woman who loves gardens and flowers, I say, "give that man a budget!" LOL. I would love to see some more urns, topiaries, and flowers in the courtyard.😊🌷🌹
oh my gosh i enjoyed this so much! your mother is just beautiful, she has so much love in her eyes, she charms me. these vlogs are really good. youre gonna get a bbc show. theyre smart, funny, dear. eye candy. 💚
I visited Chenonceau sometime in the 1990's. I purchased a small framed print of a watercolor (if that makes sense) of the chateau for $15 USD. It looked like much more than what it was. also put a card with a color pastel of the chateau into a readymade frame. Hung both in a bathroom.
Thank you for tagging us along on honeymoon too 💞. So beautiful and interesting Stephanie 🏰👌🌟. The honeymooners are very cute together 💍💞. Enjoy further - making wonderful memories. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA
That was fascinating! Thank you for the tour and commentary... it was wonderful! What a sweet and thoughtful gesture from Percy, gifting a small memento of the day. You mother looks so happy - it is so lovely to see.
Well thank you again❣️ You have made an ordinary Thursday morning in Danville Indiana a special time in my life. The beautiful scenery, the information shared , the love of family and the happiness has made my day‼️ Now I will message my sister in California and make her day❤️
I'm watching from West Lafayette, Indiana! Is Stephanie's vlog not wonderful? There is such life to each show. I look forward to the next with each new addition 🌷💗🌷
That was brilliant 😀i really enjoy watching you, Stephanie and relationship you have with your beautiful mum and Percy, thank you soo much for being entertaining and fun😉🤗
I am new to your channel, and so I am catching up. I went here some years ago with friends, one of whom instantly 'knew everything about everything'! As we left, I asked her if she had enjoyed the visit? Her answer was, "It was OK, but we didn't see the bathroom" I was beyond confounded.
Beautiful--and such lovely, sweet gifts! I love the fleur de lys. But, where is mine!!? Surely, there is another!? Just kidding--lovely gifts for your Chatelaines de LaLande🌷💗🌷
Ive been there on my trip through The Loire ... its one of the most beautiful Chateau !!!! The only other that rivals to me ( from the outside its Chambord
Thank you so much for another wonderful video. Percy & your Mother are really adorable and I’m so glad they let us gate crash part of their honeymoon. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Stephanie - thanks for the quality research you always do it makes your videos very special.
What a beautiful vlog , the chateau visit was fantastic , it never ceases to amaze me Stephanie of your knowledge of each place you visit , take care of mummy and Percy as they are very precious , good blessings to you all and those back home at la launde x
Just watching some old vlogs! So lovely! A vew years ago when I was on holiday with some friends I forces my friends to come with me to chenanceau! A groep of 18 year olds who were not all that interested at first but I came well prepared and at the end I was giving them a tour around the chateau. They enjoyed it very much and we had some other tourist walking with us as well to hear the story! Some how this vlog made me think of that moment. Absolutly amzing how you tell all about this chateau with so much enthousiasm! ❤
Stephanie, "the whim of the day", should be a regular vlog, while sipping champagne from a Spode cup, in the green courtyard, in season. This would make Percy very happy.....e
wow i loved this!!! i visited chenonceau in 2017 and loved every minute of it but unfortunately didn't learn much about its history. i love the way you talk about history and make it so interesting!! thank you for teaching me i was fascinated the whole time!! i mark my words one day i am coming to workaway at lalande... ❤️
I visited Chateau Chambord with my father when I was 12 years old. I still remember it vividly to this day, and now follow their Instagram! Wonderful memories 💝
Haha you are the prefect supervising the two.hehheeheh Well done Isobel with her critical analysis of the history facts ..keep it up. Where did Percy dissapeared to? You need to tag him.. if he is away far more than 10metres it will gives the phone message...hahahah He went bought you two gifts ..so kind and nice surprises. It's funny when you said you'd turn it into bed sits ......hahahaha very funny... Watching you tube on TV using the now TV dongle very nice. So it is very nice to watch spectacular view of the nice buildings and views.
I like you videos.There are joyful, funny and instructif. I think there is a small mistake at 4:10. It is Katherine Briçonnet and not Louise (later they will be 2 important Louise in Chenonceau : Louise de Fontaine and Louise Dupin)
Another great historical vlog - so informative and interesting! Such a lovely day out for the 3 of you! I think Isobel and Percy look very happy and contented together (and of course, you too!)
Been there.. one of the rare Châteaus Where you actually can see the kitchen. Next stop should be azay le rideau, chevergny and of course Chambord.. but the one in Langaise is nice also.. but chinon is Not really interesting..
Another question . . . just been out to feed all my different sized hedgehogs (about 4 or maybe 6 I think) that wait for me each evening - some very shy and some much bolder! I have special hedgehog hotels that they seem to love boarding in during the day and will, I hope, take up permanent residence in during the winter months. What wildlife do you have within your 60 acres and do you feed or have to control anything there, like deer or boars?
@@vanmeier9805 Oh my word that is the weirdest thing imagineable! I haven't seen a hedgehog for over a year as I had to stop feeding them as the rats were taking over! Not that I have a problem, as such, with rats but there were too many and too close to the house for comfort so sadly I had to stop feeding the hedgehogs. Literally just been out to lock up the shed and a medium sized hedge has appeared!!! Amazing! Have put some cat biscuits out for him in the hope that he will feed but will have to remove soon because of the rats. How strange that you should post now and then that suddenly happened!! Hoping for a return but sadly no photos . . .
Aw, I’m just getting into the Chateaux forums and thought your comment was so sweet. Sorry to hear the rats invaded, though! I hope the new hedgehog fares better :)
Ha, I was planning on going there tomorrow but this evening the water supply in our house full of guests has inexplicably dropped out, cue late night call to plumber. No Chenonceau for me tomorrow
My sister had a Valentine's day party, with her fiance, in the middle of the party, a friend stood up, and said, that he wanted to announce that they were getting married....right now, the Minister was there and a surprise wedding was held...the next day Wendy and Charlie, my father, my other sister Diana, her husband Bernie, and myself, went to Mexico for the honeymoon!!!
It’s really uncomfortable hearing Isabell making these passive aggressive statements toward Stephanie. She doesn’t have to agree but I think it’s her life to live.
Oh Percy is just the most perfect man. Romantic and a great dresser! As a question for Sunday may I ask how did you get the chateau to be livable? How does the volunteer system work exactly? And is Gerald a family friend?
Thanks! I’ll add those questions to my list of vlog topics. But in the meantime, I can tell you that Gerald has known my parents since he was 12 years old and has lived with them since he was 17. So I’ve never known life without him and he’s a brother to me!
@@TheChateauDiaries am so glad you explained about Gerald! my daughter and have often wondered if he was actually your brother and now we know. How wonderful to have him in your lives and family. We always enjoy his visits ....he is such a character - so full of life and fun.
Percy, you wonderful man! He’s so sweet and loves Isabell so dearly, and you too Stephanie! Such a lovely outing ⚜️
Dear sweet Percy, smiling while getting in trouble for wandering off, while he secretly had gifts for the girls in his pocket. He is an absolute gem. This vlog made me smile so much, you guys are a delight!!
Percy is such a little treasure. You have a great family. Missing Scotman already - he needs to be in France more often!
I think they’ll hopefully all visit me next week!

Percy, you wonderful man. That was so sweet.
I am new to your channel, and so I am catching up. I went here some years ago with friends, one of whom instantly 'knew everything about everything'! As we left, I asked her if she had enjoyed the visit? Her answer was, "It was OK, but we didn't see the bathroom" I was beyond confounded.

Thank you so much for another wonderful video. Percy & your Mother are really adorable and I’m so glad they let us gate crash part of their honeymoon. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Stephanie - thanks for the quality research you always do it makes your videos very special.
It’s an absolute pleasure - I love chateaux, decorations, history and gossip, so I love researching these places!

What a wonderful chateau. Thankyou for showing us this. Your mother and Percy are so happy. Love oozes from them xxxxx
I watch one and find another. LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!
Love this so much! You guys feel like family! Hugs for all!
I visited Chenonceau as a 16 year old, how nice to see it again!
Stephanie, "the whim of the day", should be a regular vlog, while sipping champagne from a Spode cup, in the green courtyard, in season. This would make Percy very happy.....e
What a joyful tour. Thank you for sharing Chateau de Chenonceau
I love watching these over again. What a beauty of an episode!!! Such a sweet sweet group.
You went up and down the stairs to get the shots 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We had to wait approximately one million light years for there to be no one on the stairs!!!! 😂
wow i loved this!!! i visited chenonceau in 2017 and loved every minute of it but unfortunately didn't learn much about its history. i love the way you talk about history and make it so interesting!! thank you for teaching me i was fascinated the whole time!! i mark my words one day i am coming to workaway at lalande... ❤️
In spite of all the loving teasing directed towards Isabelle, one thing is certain: she obviously has wonderful taste in men! Percy is a gem!
I also loved the gallery. So beautiful.
I love those flower arrangements in the book.so beautiful. Great video Stephanie ❤️
I want to learn to make all of those arrangements!
Thank you! Wonderful tour 💗
What an adorable couple !
They are so lovely ❤️
I went to Chenonceau this past summer along with Chambord which was just stunning!!!
I visited Chateau Chambord with my father when I was 12 years old. I still remember it vividly to this day, and now follow their Instagram! Wonderful memories 💝
Stephanie you are simply divine .... this brings a smile to my face
So Beautiful. Thank You. Love watching You All.

Lovely day
I enjoy the history lessons as much as the vlogs 😄
Ohh how i must go see this chateau!
Wow..the magic you all make is superb👍🙋😄🧚🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hands down you Win Percy ! Head of maintenance
He is a Legend in his own lifetime! I think I’m letting him down with my management of the Maintenance Fund 🤣
The Chateau Diaries no More Marble tables for you Stephanie ! But love your philosophy x
Another great historical vlog - so informative and interesting! Such a lovely day out for the 3 of you! I think Isobel and Percy look very happy and contented together (and of course, you too!)
They are so incredibly happy. I feel very lucky that they met 😊

😂 I love it, they went on honeymoon and the daughter came to.
Enjoyed
My sister had a Valentine's day party, with her fiance, in the middle of the party, a friend stood up, and said, that he wanted to announce that they were getting married....right now, the Minister was there and a surprise wedding was held...the next day Wendy and Charlie, my father, my other sister Diana, her husband Bernie, and myself, went to Mexico for the honeymoon!!!
I loved this
Love mum she is do down to earth
I feel terrible! I've been on the honeymoon, but haven't been to the wedding. I'll have to correct that soon!
aww lovely!
I mean ' buy' of course!
I've been to the chateau of Chenonceau ♥
It’s really uncomfortable hearing Isabell making these passive aggressive statements toward Stephanie. She doesn’t have to agree but I think it’s her life to live.
I’m only 1/3 of the way through this episode and I just realized who you are. You’re the real life, grown up, Anne with an E!
LOVED the visit to Chenonceau...SUPERB...but not a SPECIAL as Lalonde...
Oh Percy is just the most perfect man. Romantic and a great dresser!
As a question for Sunday may I ask how did you get the chateau to be livable?
How does the volunteer system work exactly?
And is Gerald a family friend?
Thanks! I’ll add those questions to my list of vlog topics. But in the meantime, I can tell you that Gerald has known my parents since he was 12 years old and has lived with them since he was 17. So I’ve never known life without him and he’s a brother to me!
@@TheChateauDiaries thanks! I'll look foward to it then!!!
@@TheChateauDiaries am so glad you explained about Gerald! my daughter and have often wondered if he was actually your brother and now we know. How wonderful to have him in your lives and family. We always enjoy his visits ....he is such a character - so full of life and fun.
He is amazing! He’s had me laughing constantly since I was born!
Oh yes, I do love it when Gerald appears! He is so dear and always gives me a good laugh! 😊
I'm with mummy on this one. The place is very interesting but I find it inexpensively sad. No happiness in those walls at all.
The Dance! Shall we bring back the Versailles glide too?
Poor Gerald such a tease your sister is! 😊
The honeymoon from hell...who gate crashes a honeymoon? :-)great vid as always
🤣 Me! I gatecrash honeymoons! Anyone else want me to join them on theirs?? 🤣
Stephanie, if ever I get married again, you will be the first person I invite along on the honeymoon! 😂
Not Percy's first Rodeo.
Is Chenonceau a bit damp? Being on a river...
What a sweet man - from Louise
👍👍💓
