- Does this video look familiar? Correct! This video is a re-upload of last week's Sunday video. For the past two days, the original has had a glitch which makes it impossible to watch. As we and TH-cam are unable to fix it, we decided to re-upload the video so that everyone can once again enjoy the tour of this beautiful chateau!!
Julia's dream chateau came up for sale during the pandemic, but she couldn't travel from America to see it in person! So she asked me to tour it for her, and to send her a video. I put together a chateau-hunting dream team, and went with Philip (the Sherlock Holmes of architectural details) and Davy (garden designer and great problem spotter & solver) to visit the Renaissance Chateau de Puyvidal.
This is an edited version of the video that we sent to Julia, which led to her and her family putting in an offer the very next day!
To see more of their adventures, check out the introductory video on their new TH-cam channel, @Lady of the Château Productions

I wasn’t going to say it looks familiar ( I was going to type it)
I thought I was experiencing A déjà vu! 😂. Love this one by the way
I was just wondering if I was the only one thinking you had tried to trick us?? So, thanks for explaining.
Also.. Hello from Arkansas (R-can-saw) USA. Love your vlogs!
I thought something was fishy. I thought maybe the name of her TH-cam Channel was changed because I thought someone else was using it. I tried the watch again but...
Whew, thought I'd lost my marbles (again)
Thinking of the previous owners: how could one live to an ordinary house after living in this chateau?! What a masterpiece.
Maybe they’re moving to another masterpiece elsewhere.
Lack of money ? Deceased ? Lots of reasons.
Retiring and downsizing maybe
I believe near the beginning there is some reference to the previous owners health in their senior age
As we age our priorities tend to change. To me who am only 65, this does not look one bit comfortable going by all those stairs without a single elevator in sight. Also I would probably not like to pay all the money to keep it warm in winter. When they built these affairs they had other priorities in mind which we have superseded and elaborated upon. For the money that this would cost to ameliorate and renovate extensive parts of it, I have seen far more welcoming and beautifully decorated chateaux in comparison. Where is my full size billiard room here? Where is the awesome office? Where is the ballroom? Where are the staff's quarters? Where are the stables? Also, being more than average tall, my head would get more than a bang forgetting to lower it every time I would have to go from one room to the next. Most of it actually makes me feel claustrophobic. I wouldn't wish to live there for free let alone. And that's now when I am still physically independent to a large degree.
THIS PLACE IS THE BEST KEPT AND DECORATED AND LOVED. I'M SO HAPPY THE NEW OWNERS ARE GOING TO LOVE IT TO PIECES TOO!!! THEY'RE VERY LUCKY, LUCKY LUCKY. *I SEND MANY BLESSINGS OF HAPPINESS!!!*
I don’t think I’d even change the bathrooms, except for the one with the tiny mosaic tiles. It’s all stunning.
I'm watching this again after 2 years. This chateau is my favourite out of all vlogers' chateaux.
Great chateau! a shout out to the estate agent very professional and definitely knows what
he is talking about
*GIRL?* THIS IS *THE MOST WONDERFUL PLACE!* IT IS TRULY BLESSED. I CAN HEAR THE ANGELS SING IN THE GARDENS...AND INSIDE. I REALLY CAN.
Gorgeous…my heart is now set on living in a chateau💙
This one is so satisfyingly not simple. Gorgeously well-lit with wonderful surroundings. A DELIGHT!
Oh my.... the views thru the windows are like paintings! They make my heart sing!
So beautiful! The library is a dream, like being hugged by books. The gem of a cabinet for porcelain is beyond words. The whole chateau is exceptional. There could be no better tour guide!
I AGREEEE!!!!!
So curious what that would cost in US dollars. Not exact amount but bakkpark
Most of us that are vaccinated by these gorgeous Chateau have anxiously been waiting for this particular video. We knew that Stephanie, Phillip & Davey had surveyed the property for the potential buyer and then they bought it sight unseen with the exception of this video tour. Knowing that made us aware that it was an exceptional find. We were thankful that the sellers permitted the public viewing of this magnificent property tour. We are planning on purchasing a Chateau as well and these videos help us getting a better understanding of what it is that’s important to us (& what’s not). It’s clear that this one is a rare find, the details, the condition and gardens are magnificent. Can’t wait for part 2. Thank you Stephanie & Phillip!
I am envious of your plans !!!
As an interior decorator and garden designer, I am dreaming of visiting exquisite gardens like this one, at least for a day.
Good luck with your desires and dreams !!!
I believe this post-Covid world may be now affecting us all, much more than we think, lol. I'm sure that you meant to write "fascinated."
@@hahna77 how the hell did I write that lol …I guess I have vax on the brain. I hate autocorrect ! 😂😂😂 yes, “fascinated” thanks !
If you are looking for Chateau in the similar price range, my advise would be to look for something newer from mid to late 19 century. May be as old as 18C, but not the medieval Castle made to look like a Chateau. The interiors are not really well made or period 17- 19C these are all modern installations from early 20 to post WWII. Compared to real 18/19C interiors and Chateau architecture this XXXL remnants of a castle have little attraction.
I am in LOVE. The architecture is fabulous.
The ceilings. 🥰🥰
Never noticed any glitch!! Always a great pleasure to see
Even as a child I was intrigued by castles and chateaus and always wanted to live in one.This was amazing and so well kept and in great condition and wonderfully decorated and restored. It would cost a fortune to upkeep the garden and the house but if I had a fortune I would love to have this amazing place❤️
So beautiful!! I will only ever be able to imagine walking through such a beautiful place in my dreams, it must have been so wonderful to see in real life!!
Boy, now I have to say, this chateau had just about everything going for it. Really fine shape for the age. Did see a few cracks in the stone that can be fixed. It had really held together well for so many years. These places take work and a lot of love. I really enjoyed the tour. Thank you.
OMG what a beautiful chateau. So happy for them.
Omg I can’t wait for part 2!
This place made my heart miss a beat like nothing else I saw on video.
Mon Dieu!
So exited!
As I watch the episodes of your videos multiple times, this was great. You’re so generous to take the time, energy and work to videotape this beautiful chateau for your friends. And might I add, your real estate agent/tour master was amazing. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Omg I loved that blue tiled bathroom in the cubbard of the bedroom it
was amazing I can’t believe everyone thought it needed redecorating 🤣
I know 😂.
What a fabulous chateau it’s so perfect! Such good taste all around! Wonderful grounds so well designed!
What a grand chateau! Thank you for your illuminating video. Loved every minute of it! Can't wait for part 2.
Oh my word Dtephanie, what a corker.!
And that agent is the best I ever saw...he actually knows the property he wants big fees to sell.?
Loved every second of this...well done team.
You and the gentlemen are the best ever to go and do this! You're so inspiring all the time.
Oh my gosh!! Spectacular in every way! Thank you for the two part tour! 💕
Undeniably beautiful 🌺🌺 what a wonder the chateau is!
I HAVE TO SAY... MY MOUTH HAS BEEN DROPPED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VID.. THE GROUNDS ARE IMMACULATE...SO GLORIOUS AND ALL THE EXQUISITE ROOMS AND STAIRCASES....EVERYTHING... THE LADY WHO LIVED THERE LAST.....REALLY SHINES THROUGH. PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY. ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN YET!! ITS A NO BRAINER TO B UY SIGHT UNSEEN PERSONALLY.
THE VID SAYS IT ALL. SUCH *A BEAUTIFUL INTERVIEWER OF THE CASTLE CHATEAU.!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!*
CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THE REST OF YOUR TOUR VID. THANK YOU SO MUCH! REALLY NICE OF YOU TO SHARE THIS WITH US. I APPRECIATE YOUR METICULOUS EFFORTS. **WELLLL DONE!*
Thank you Stephanie for showing us this beautiful places ❤️
The blue tiled bathroom, redecorate? Are you kidding me. I love it. I can see myself trying to cut all that grass with a push lawn mower! LOLOL
Thanks for the reload. Not sure what the glitch was. I was able to watch it all last week. Looking forward to tomorrow.
She probably means the end of the video where we could see her retake the same thing a few times, I kind of liked it though. I can see it's been fixed now so it must be it.
Thank yu for showing us this chateau! I love seeing how people update these beautiful buildings!
Wow, this is like a dream! So gorgeous! Congrats to the lucky family who purchased this.
Wonderful! Well kept and such an awesome find! Very lucky indeed these new owners! Such an exciting purchase!
Wow what a find, no wonder your friends snapped it up, it’s fabulous. The comment on the arrow slit in the wall, that you can shoot at someone whilst sitting on the loo, if you have to,!!!! a great one Stephanie. What an exciting chateau, so looking forward to seeing the family move in and adventures starting. WCL
La Lande is beautiful but this place is on an all together different level, it’s unbelievable! I almost choked when I saw the stone staircase. 🤯
So surprised and impressed that there’s no dust in French chateaus …
Thank you Stephanie for sharing this. 💕
I'm in awe! why would someone sold something like this? so much love put into this place. I'm sad for the previous owners: I wish it had stayed in the family. I wish the new owners all the best and hope they are up to the chateau and not change everything there is.
Oh, phew...I thought I was having some massive deja vu for a minute! I did have a nasty knock to the head, but no ill effects, aside from my bruised scalp (and rather bruised ego). Can't wait for part 2!
This was just fabulous I was mouth wide open breathless every room just stunning I’d need a map to find my way around love the lift much needed esp.with all that wine there😀👌🥂Julia and her family chose the perfect person to view Stephanie Thankyou for the viewing can’t wait to see part2 Julia will love love this Chateau I’m left breathless and inspired much love tres bien merci😘😘😍❤️👌🥂
Fantastic........ Love the views from the windows. Gardens are amazing. Blessings.
Amazing indeed
this is so beautiful it's too much to take in! what a privilege to be able to call this home.
Ahhh, thank you Stephanie😊 Feet up & cuppa time again ☺️ It looks amazing & I’m so happy I can now watch all of it & no glitch 🥰
oh my goodness! As i have chateau hunting dreams of my own are you able to share at all what they paid for something so beautiful and as of this magnitude as this? It will help me tremendously to budget. Wow. I'm floored. This is exactly the perfect chateau of my dreams. Well done for your friend! 🧡 And how truly kind of you to do this leg work for her
I can’t wait to watch the second part. Gorgeous!!
I get lost easily though, and was thinking that I could get lost with all the stairs and just walk around forever! lol. But it would be enjoyable and would not mind being lost at all, as long as sooner or later I found the kitchen, and my own bedroom when it was time. That would be fine. Sooner or later I would find a way to walk outside am sure if I just kept moving. The basement although nice would be a place I would not want to be lost in the tunnel and would be a "definitely not to be left alone" though. At * Beardsley's Castle" in my area, they call that the 'Dungeon' instead. Although part of it is now a bar area. They have weddings and it is a Restaurant on the upper two floors.
This is truly a castle/Chateau! All the secret passages and it is just absolutely someone's dream come true! Oh yes, that is Julie's and her partners! They are blessed. May they do well and enjoy it for a long time!
I love this. I love the grounds and the architecture. They did a great job on upholstery too.
What a wonderful property, thank you for showing it, its a dream. I wish the new home owners would have many beautiful memories created there. Cheers 🥂
well worth watching a second time!
Ohhhhhhhhhh! I am only a few minutes in and ....oooooohhhhhh ........ I have NEVER been more in love with anything!
Beautifully maintained, great views
Beautiful Chateau. Lucky Couple.
It's just beautiful, just beautiful! How many beautifuls was that? Lovely😍😉

Beautiful!
It’s divine! I would write a check right away.
Amazing
Lovely. So well appointed.
Yes I thought I have watched this video before. never mind , to watch again is good as I will see something extra I have not seen =)
wow what an amazing find....congratulations
A beautiful chateau and gardens!
The would think the most important thing should be the state/health of the building’s windows, roof, walls and so on?
The decor, colours, chandelier is something secondary.
Wow, BEAUTIFUL
this is breathtaking!
I loved this video!
I thought I’d lost my marbles pleased I haven’t 😂😂
So beautiful.
This place is amazing!
What a stunning place and the fun I would have in that secret room, Guest's dont mind the noise from the Ghost above he cant get out, lol then have someone make a noise and drag something across floor. Off to watch part 2 xxxxx
I’m at 4:50 and already in love with this place! WOW..such a spectacular gem!
Sooooo beautiful right...? That garden!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹
Fun fact: in france chateau each time u find stone seating near a window it was used as toilet....so that maiden room with the stone sitting was actually a toilet, woods would be on top of the stones and most of chateaux owners closed the openings or the walls evacuation.....am surprised many people don't know about this!! After all people still had needs😅
Amazing!!!!!
Love the BLUE TILES.
That was some feat reading all those names 🙀 Beautiful chateau 😻
Amazing thank you 🙏🏻
I was able to watch it all soon after you uploaded it. A beautiful house!
What a remarkable place!
Please find me one just like this in Newfoundland! Beautiful
Beautiful😊
Very nice !
I am watching this again in Sept. 2023 and gave the same reaction: I think this is the most beautiful chateau I have ever seen! How lucky they are to live there. How much did they buy it for? ❤❤❤
