GRAZIE...THANK YOU...MERCI...DANKE
Thank you so much for joining us as we travel through parts of my past home in France, attend my darling nephew's wedding south of Paris and fulfil a dream to visit my youtube Idols at "Chateau de La Lande! 🥰😍🤗
Thank you for taking us alone! Lovely views and the wedding had to be so lovely! The receptionadn place ( farm) was fantastically beautiful, Canot imagine the family living in a huge far like this they must have had such a grand life. Am sure there was much work to do though! Fixing it, over the years, had to be so much for most, So many now can take part in exceptional parties, weddings and so much more!
I have watched Chateau de Lalande and have for several years. Little Lancelot is such a little dear and great greeter! Glad you got to tay and see how lovely in person it is! Evidently Stephanie was not ther at the time, but perhaps you met natti or Amaury? Rely nice Marie was th eand she plays a large part too, in the Chateau life. She will carry on, when no one else is around,
Hello Carol and thank you so much for joining us on our journey and we are so happy that you enjoyed! Our family time and the wedding was amazing and yes, the Noble farm was fantastic! Chateau de Lalande was as gorgeous as we had imagined it be and the first signs of spring were everywhere. We felt honoured to tour the Chapel and Marie was such a delight. Unfortunately it was a time when the others were away or on time off, before the big guest season, so we only met Marie and Lancelot! Plus the peacocks of course! We also met the restorers and in particular chatted with the architect, who was lovely! Fortunately I speak fluent French so that was handy! Thanks again for watching 🥰🤩🤗💖
So cool...last summer I went to La Land and then went and stayed with friends in Treignac. I want to go back!
Oh that’s such a coincidence isn’t it? How wonderful 🥰♥️🇫🇷
Thank you for the great still photos of La Lande ! Nice, different perspective of familiar grounds. Beautiful video overall.
Oh that’s so lovely of you Brenda! Thank you so much for your kind comment 👏🥰🫶🏼💋
Dear Marisa, I'm Italian but I was born and raised in France so this video is just WOW for me.... Thank you ❤
Oh that's so great Ross! I'm so happy that you loved it :D xoxo
Thanks for sharing your journey in France: the wedding & Chateau de la Lande - one of my favourites. Your old ( literally ) village looks so quaint as well.
Bon vacance
Thank you so much Anne! Yes it’s a lovely journey that we are on and I’m so enjoying my old home village so much! Merci beaucoup 🇫🇷👏🥰🫶🏼
Thanks for sharing! Must have been a really eventful stay in France. Wedding a whole weekend, wow. The Chateau - tres magnifique! Your earlier hometown looked nice, Marisa. Hugs ❤💙💚
Hello Joan!
Thank you so much for watching!
We are still in France but leave soon and it’s been a lot of fun and great times! So much to see and do as well! See you next time 🥰🇫🇷😍💋
What a fabulous video. I’m so happy you met Marie who, to me, is the star of Chateau de Lalande with her incredible cooking - the thought that goes into her culinary creations is inspiring (I’m still not going to cook though 😂😂). I actually had an accepted offer on an apartment in the south of France (and was considering a home which appeared to be in a wooded location until I discovered it was actually on the intersection of 2 roads 😂😂😂) but decided on Tuscany instead. No regrets at all on my decision ❤❤
Oh thank you so much Carolyn! Marie was absolutely adorable and we actually had so much in common. We could have chatted for days but we squeezed a lot into a couple of hours! 😁 I didn’t remember your story about France! Thank goodness that didn’t go through as your home in Tuscany is gorgeous and we love you as a neighbour! Sending big hugs 🤗♥️🥰🫶🏼💋
What incredible weather for the reception. One of those pics in your room looked like the Old Custom House on Dorsoduro. Looking forward to reading your books & great to see David being so stoic as you revisit your past! Jealous about the foie gras and duck 😋❤
Hello my lovely friends! We had fabulous weather in general and just loved the wedding and the rest of our adventure on our way here. David is enjoying everything including too much fabulous food and wine LOL Thank you so much for joining us! xoxoxo
La Lande! How nice and thank you for sharing 😊
You’re so welcome Judith! It’s a shame that we couldn’t film but we loved it all the same… it’s so beautiful ♥️🥰🇫🇷
It is the first time I am watching your videos. I have just subscribed...you are a great couple. Thank you for being there. I am a modern language teacher, I have just got retired...I really enjoy meeting people like you. Keep safe. Lots of hugs. Luisa
Hello Luisa and thank you so much for joining us! It’s so lovely to hand you here.
We are so glad you are enjoying our videos! See you next time ♥️🥰🫶🏼💋
That was a lovely visit to a wedding, a stay at Chateau de Lalande, and a lovely dinner
Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time and we are still having a fabulous time in my old village which I will share with you next time. Thanks for watching! 🥰🫶🏼♥️
Thankyou for such a wonderful video. Enjoyed every minute x
Oh Miani we are so happy to hear that! Thank you so much for joining us 🥰♥️🙏🏼💋🫶🏼
Just lovely...thank you from the ❤ Luisa from 🇵🇹 Portugal.
You’re so welcome Luisa! Sending hugs your way! 🥰♥️💋🫶🏼
I think Marie is the real star of La Lande. She is underrated talent and such incredible talent. She is genuinely the real deal and not pretentious
She’s an adorable lady and she made us so welcome! We got on so well and we are so happy we met her! 💖🥰🫶🏼
@@talesfromtuscany I just discovered your channel & was happy to see you visited Lalande & met Marie. I have watched CD for years. I also watch Sergei & Aya and look forward to seeing your visit with them at Lake Como. Have subscribed.
@@lindascott2008 oh that’s so lovely of you to join us Linda and yes we were so blessed to visit Lalande with the gorgeous Marie. Unfortunately as you might see if you follow us, our trip to Como was cancelled as I ended up in hospital after a bad fall on Lake Garda. Have been there recuperating ever since! Alla and Sergi have told us to come back whenever we like and we will definitely do that in the future. They’re so sweet!
I did get to visit with the lovely Darlene and Shaun, from “Darlene in the Dordogne” so you might enjoy that future vlog. The area isn’t far from my old home and it’s a stunning part of France. Thank you so much for watching! ♥️🥰💋🫶🏼
@@talesfromtuscany Sorry to hear of your bad fall, and hope you recover quickly. I understand how much patience it can take to wait for things to get back to normal after an injury, having done so recently myself. At least Spring at Lake Garda is some comfort. Thank you for your lovely content & warm demeanor.
@@lindascott2008 oh thank you so much Linda! Yes it was the perfect place to be injured lol 😂🥰🩵 so relaxing and soothing to the soul. I’m sorry you too had an injury…life has its challenges but I just go with the flow. 🥰 best wishes! 🫶🏼🩵
Thank you for taking us to your nephew's wedding and your former home town. That was fun. Lalande looked very quiet I guess Stephanie was off on a trip when you popped by. I envy your talent of language. Your French is lovely. Best wishes from Toronto 🇨🇦😊💐
Hello Lauren! Yes our French journey was so delightful and yes Lalande was very quiet that day as it was everyone’s day off and Marie was holding the fort!
We have a lovely time all the same.
Thank you so much ♥️🫶🏼🥰🙏🏼
It's always so nice to see you both.
Blessings..
Thank you so much and lovely to see you here as well! ♥️🥰🫶🏼
I love the picture of you and David in front of all of the blue porcelain in the kitchen at Lalande. Marie is lovely. I am happy you got to see the chapel. It is looking magnificent.
This was
This was a lovely vlog. So much happening. Awesome. I loved that farmhouse manor.
Oh thank you so much Peter! We love that photo too which Marie too for us! She’s such a sweetheart.
The chapel is such a wonderful achievement and we even got to chat with the architect that day! What an honour. Thank you so much for watching 🥰♥️🫶🏼
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Peter! It was so lovely and we had so much fun! 🥰😍🎉
Dear Marisa & David! Beautiful days in France, meeting family and friends - and past. But I am sure, being back to Italy, lovable Tuscany, Chianni, will warm your hearts a little more 😉❣ As usual: love and hugs from 🇦🇹Austria, Sabine.
Ciao Sabine! We are still travelling through the southwest of France and it's extremely beautiful but we are also thinking forward and are excited for our return to wonderful Italia...still some adventures to follow for now! Big hugs and thank you xoxoxox
Love it youre finally @ the chateau...ooh lala
Yes my sweet! We made it there and Marie was the sweetest and kindest person...we got on so well and I truly hope to see her again one day. We had such a lovely stroll around the grounds, in the chapel and a fabulous afternoon coffee with Marie. We feel very honoured and I hope they enjoy reading my books. 🥰🤗😍😘
Hi Marisa and David, I enjoyed your vlog and especially like that you list the names of towns, Chateau or regions! Merci beaucoup! Dankeschön!
That’s very kind of you Maryann! Thank you so much and I’m glad you found it informative! Merci a toi! 🥰♥️🫶🏼💋
Bon apetit Marisa et David.....James ❤❤
Merci beaucoup James! Lovely to see you here ♥️🥰🫶🏼
Really loved this video. It’s all so beautiful
Thank you so much Merilyn ♥️🥰🫶🏼
Thank you for sharing , i bet it was kinda of a bit nervous to go to Chateau de la Lande in some ways but a dream come true .
Thanks so much for watching Keith! Yes it was odd as it seemed a little surreal to actually be there. It all felt so familiar but is so lovely in reality.
Meeting Marie was absolutely delightful … she made us so relaxed 🥰♥️🇫🇷🥂🫶🏼
Lovely vistas
Thank you so much 🥰♥️🙏🏼
What a trip...
It's too bad you both missed seeing Stephanie & Philip.
At Lelande. France..
It was Valerie! Yes it’s a shame but hopefully we will get back there one day and meet them! In the meantime I hope they enjoy reading my books! 📚♥️🥰🫶🏼💋
You passed my friends house. Right when you enter the town on left.
Oh wow 😮 in Treignac? Or another town?
I thought the Chateau de la Lalande website says “ no video taping permitted”
Yes we videoed our arrival and asked Marie what we could do once inside. I’ve made the video from photos or « live » iPhone photos in slowmo.
I think if it’s another chateau owner/ TH-camr it’s allowed because it’s free advertising for her and she’s all about the advertising
@@supremlyfoxylass I think they allow friends to film but as we’d never met before, we were permitted to take photos. We are ok with that ♥️🥰
Did you stay overnight at LaLande? If so, what room did you stay in?
No we didn’t. It didn’t coincide with our days free as they only take people on the weekends. As we had applied as volunteers, they were happy to meet us, which was lovely of them. I also wanted to give them my books to read as I thought Stephanie might like them. 🥰🇫🇷♥️🫶🏼
Wondering why filming at La Lande is not allowed ....
Because they have their own vlog I guess and only permit certain people. We were honoured to be there so we didn’t question why 🥰♥️🫶🏼
Because everything is staged there , all rehearsed.
Those fields are rapeseed, which are used for oil - US equivalent to canola oil. It’s considered seed oil…. 😢. One of Frances agricultural product.
Yes you’re completely right but it’s called Colza in Europe. 💛
What is going on in the LaLande courtyard????
I don’t recall and we didn’t ask🤔 some plumbing issues that are being sorted I think 💭😁
@@talesfromtuscany was that the spot where the poor worker fell to his death? So tragic.
An electrical cable was pulled loose and when it came down so did a huge stone that fitted into the side of the dormer window. It was huge and required a bucket loader to lift it.
@@supremlyfoxylasswell good thing she has all of those Patrons to get that chateau in working order
@@pNo415 correct. All those patrons paying for everything including her travels around Europe.
