Long ago on our Homer Alaska homestead my mom would roll up wet wash clothes & stuff them like fans into the toast rack for washing up all the kids who were wearing more bbq than the picnic plates! 😂
Oh, fairest maidens, a heart‘s delight. Tempting the spirits all through the night. Fragrant crowns adorn your heads, picked from the depth of flowery beds. The image of thee shines golden and bright, for this is the eve of Midsummer Night. 🧖♀️
This episode is why we are so smitten with Stephanie, et al. The range of locations we are taken to is impressive, whether a garden, a chateau, or a brocante. They all help us escape our physical boundaries, as well as teach us history, interior design, gardening and much much more. I think I speak for thousands. So very grateful!
My pittie sleeps with us. I can’t imagine leaving him outside. All fur/feather babies need lovin! Love the château, Marie’s crowns are stunning! Beautiful château!
Please Stephanie can we have an update on all the half finished renovations? What is happening to the chapel, the downstairs loo, did the sweet peas grow, how does the finished terrace look, Gerry apartment? When you were in lockdown so many things were started and we don’t know what happened.
Chapel restorer fell off a scaffold and was injured, so it's off for a few more months until he recovers. Gerry's apartment is on hold for now, while they work on Nati's place. The sweet peas grew, of course.
Philip, your plates are FD Veritable Porcelaine France : Fernand Deshoulieres Porcelaines (in Chauvigny). One of their clients is the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
Yes, I was also going to say the toast holders would be lovely in your different guest rooms for your stationary, post cards and anything else that would fit. Thank you so much for showing us the other chateaus, events and beauty all around in your lovely country. You guys are the best. Blessings.
The midsummer party was beautiful, great job on the beautiful flower crowns Madie. Leonardo da Vincis castle was beautiful, just love his amazing art. Thank YOU for sharing all your friends and trip with us, just amazing the fun you have. LOVE from Chicago
Love the closing music by Francis Wells! Thanks for another lovely vlog! It's good to see a variety of formats: construction, gardening, DYIs, parties, tours, and travels. Kudos to you, Stephanie!
You all looked so lovely, and what a dinner!! The beautiful flower wreaths made me so nostalgic. Midsummer's eve is such a special festivity, and incidentally it was perfectly summed up by everyone sitting outside wrapped in blankets. As any Nordic person will confirm, despite whatever weather, it still is summer, and we WILL celebrate accordingly!
The flower crowns are beautiful-Only at LaLande! The luncheon at the other chateau was amazing! Stephanie has many wonderful friends all over France. It’s so fun to watch and now I wonder what they will do tomorrow. . . .
I have to say that The Chateau Diaries is by far the best TH-cam channel - so uplifting and inspiring! Always such a rush of positive energies. Please someone, what was the name of the book gifted to Stephanie - the one with the fold-out ? Thank You - from Point Blank, Texas USA.
The exhibit puts me in mind of “Imagine Van Gogh”! It is also an opportunity to be immersed in the paintings. If you have an opportunity when it comes to your area you will not forget the experience.
La Landers, you might enjoy reading the book: 'How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci: Seven Steps to Genius Every Day". It really given you an appreciation of the genius.
Phillip don't let them deter you. You can also use toast rack on your desk to hold letters and postcards if you'd like. This episode was one of the most beautiful yet. I wish I could visit Davinci's home in France sometime. I did get to see where he lived in Florence though. The moving art exhibit was breathtaking. TY so much.
Ive been thinking for a while that you should start an in house boutique! You could sell Lalande branded robes, pjs, scarves, socks, candles, tote bags, aprons, cushions, tea towels, tea cups, hot water bottle covers, art prints, wrapping paper, photography ...I could go on! You could also offer the products online. I’m sure your fans would be delighted to own a little piece of the Lalande magic themselves.
I watched the opening for the first time in a long time, and you've done so many improvements that the exterior shots don't look like the chateau anymore! I'm so happy for you that you've been able to really tackle so many things.
Fabulous! Loved every minute from the flower crowns and brocante treasures to Chateau friends and fun times... then add a King's Castle and the genius of Leonardo da Vinci.... and a poet in the comments.... 👍🏰💛
Midsomer party with the most lovely women decorated in the most beautiful flowers surrounded by good food and good company. I could not think of a more perfect night!
Culture, flowers, good food, art, architecture, beautiful chateaus, Leonardo da Vinci, wonderful and beautiful people.. OMG this has it all. I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT 😍😍😍😍 thanks Stephanie and Philip ❤️❤️ (PS: Phillip DAMN THAT SUIT is amazing!!!)
Such a pleasure to see Stephanie and Vivienne become friends!!!!! From the moment I saw the first episode of Chateau Love, I knew they just had to meet!
Just loved watching all it was so interesting with Leonardo da Vinci. Your flower crowns were amazing. You all scrubbed up well for you midsummer party, I loved what Marie was wearing she looked very elegant. Also loved Philips suit very fetching. Really enjoyed watching tonight MERCI
Wow ladies all looking stunnig aspecialy with the flowers ..lovely dress Marie Loved this episode great the visit to Leonardo's house and watching you all enjoiy the summer time away
Your joy is so contagious, I find myself smiling when I watch your videos. Nice to see you celebrating the Nordic midsummer, kudos Marie! Authentic Nordic experience with blankets!
i second that emotion! that was philip’s best outfit yet! what a lovely way to celebrate summer! agree those sketches overlapping the art was awesome! 🦩
That was so cool! I loved your little Mid-summer party, and I absolutely loved seeing where Leonardo DaVinci lived! I'm such a fan of Leonardo DaVinci and all of his talents. Thank you so much!
That was a wonderful visit you took us on Stephanie, thank you. The mid-summers dinner was beautiful between the flowers, the food and the lovely people. I really enjoy the Chateau Love channel so it was great to see you and Philip meet up with Vivienne and Simon.
What a wonderful experience staying in Beautiful Chateaux you all looked so pretty on a summers evening, flowers, dresses, Champagne. The Leonardo Da Vinci Gallery looks superb. Thank you all so much.
The party looked lovely, if a little chillly, and the ladies produced some amazing flower crowns. The food was so impressive, and looked completely delicious. The castle outing seemed fun and “cultural.” I actually got goose bumps looking at the projections of the art in the exhibition. Such a fun vlog. Thank you.
Lalande is the goose that laid the golden egg. @Real Aiglon That’s it exactly. Sadly, as we well know, Leonardo has become like the goose that lays the golden eggs...! With terrible consequences, in the case of the Clos Lucé, for authentic 18th century interiors...
Aww Vivian’s Simon is definitely the Mr Darcy of the Chateau Families. You all looked stunning at the mid summer party. Loving these vlogs, thank you for sharing them xxx
Good for you, Janet. We all visit “there” 🧑🏻🍳🧑🏻🍳once in awhile. Pay attention to what pulls you out of the depths and make it a habit to be with someone whom you truly enjoy interacting with. Read about subjects that interest you. Do an activity that is a labor of love. Ask. Someyou care about if they need help with something, tell them you are all ears. Talking with someone can change the whole dynamic as to how you feel. Wishing you adventures you love and comrades with whom there is a reciprocal friendship. Now, go live that life you love .🙋🏻♀️🌎🌸🐕🦺👩🏻🌾🙏🏻👁👁

I'm quite jealous of Phillip's trim figure and expensive wardrobe, he always looks fantastic!
The toast holder could be used as many other things like letters, napkins, cards ect..
Yes, on his new desk. Holding the paper messages etc
I've used a toast holder to display beautiful plates! Philip may enjoy that!
Beautiful holder for your accounts/bills.
I thought the same thing!
Long ago on our Homer Alaska homestead my mom would roll up wet wash clothes & stuff them like fans into the toast rack for washing up all the kids who were wearing more bbq than the picnic plates! 😂
Oh, fairest maidens, a heart‘s delight.
Tempting the spirits all through the night.
Fragrant crowns adorn your heads,
picked from the depth of flowery beds.
The image of thee shines golden and bright,
for this is the eve of Midsummer Night. 🧖♀️
Beautiful!
Thank you ! Should the position of poet to the court of LaLande ever be created, I might consider applying. 😊
@@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant Here here, I vote for that. Lovely
I second thee
Well done, George!

Rewatch... There's no wonder you two fell in love, you shared the most romantic places. My best to you both. 🇬🇧
Gosh Erin just exudes effortless style, whether she is dressed down, or up.
My pittie sleeps with us. I can’t imagine leaving him outside. All fur/feather babies need lovin! Love the château, Marie’s crowns are stunning! Beautiful château!
Once again, Nati is looking like Salma Hayek's HOTTER Argentinian cousin!
“Nati is known for being hot”
“Whhhaat?”
Nati is smokin’ !
Would love to know how many proposals Nati has received from the beginning of the channel 😅
Please Stephanie can we have an update on all the half finished renovations? What is happening to the chapel, the downstairs loo, did the sweet peas grow, how does the finished terrace look, Gerry apartment? When you were in lockdown so many things were started and we don’t know what happened.
Yes, that would be great.
Chapel restorer fell off a scaffold and was injured, so it's off for a few more months until he recovers. Gerry's apartment is on hold for now, while they work on Nati's place. The sweet peas grew, of course.
@@cynthialambert9067 Thank you. Are you a Patreon?
@@cynthialambert9067 I had just been thinking about the restorer. How bad for him to be injured. Such a dedicated man.
Oh no I hope he will get better soon💗💗💗

All the ladies looked so lovely in their dresses and flower headbands on this Mid Summers eve gathering.💖🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘🌱🌷🌿🌷🍂
Love and happiness is always all around at Lalande. And this midsummer night's party is really a dream!
The men are handsome and the women look beautiful! I wish I could take Phillip shopping with me. He has such a good eye for beautiful things.
Beautiful things... like the ladies in his life. 😉 A beautiful party of beautiful people indeed!
Erin's crown is so pretty! She's being too hard on herself.
I completely agree!! I particularly loved the grass type leaves she used!! It made it more unique and stand out!!!
i agree, she did a fabulous job on hers.
The rule in my house is never ignore the fur baby when it gives you the honor to talk to him, bravo Nattie for giving him attention.
Some people have allergies.
@@carolinegooder7091 some don’t like cats even.
Poor cat only wanted to say hello 😸
I’d be spoiling the cat with LOTS of lovins 🥰
So great you, Stephanie, and Vivienne crossed paths again. The both of you are so generous, articulate and well read. A great match!!!
The midsummer party was beautiful, great job on the beautiful flower crowns Madie. Leonardo da Vincis castle was beautiful, just love his amazing art. Thank YOU for sharing all your friends and trip with us, just amazing the fun you have. LOVE from Chicago
What a wonderful weekend! I loved every moment...merci so much for sharing with us!!!
Phillip--the toast caddy is ALSO great as a mail sorter and to stage dessert plates in a buffet!!!
I just love all of you. Sending massive hugs
I use one as a plate rack😂
I love coming back at sunset to LaLande after a breathtaking vlog days, full to the brim, thank you Stephanie for sharing, your the tops. WCL

It’s called ‘Die Welt von Laduree’ by Serge Gleizes 😊

Enjoyed so very much! Everyone looked beautiful! Such lovely generous people. Love to all ❤

Really...!??
I would love this too. Maybe spoke could do a lalande set of china
Cultural tea towel?

Lovely to see you all enjoying yourselves. Marie has become so confident it suits her. JB is a very handsome man, he and Erin make a beautiful couple.
I loved the final, beautiful clip of the French countryside drive home and into the driveway at LaLande
Fun ending as well...driving up to beautiful LaLande with the warm lights through the windows.
- OMG that sign is DISGUSTUNG!
- It's for Dana.
- Oh, she'll love it.
This is really an extraordinary experience! Wish I were there with you!!!
WOW, I had to watch that twice. It was so beautiful.
Such a big difference from last year’s video and this! This was wonderful and it seems so nice to see people getting back to living life again! 🌸🥰🇫🇷
Food looks delicious and the flowers are beautiful.
I love the entire concept of the theme.
Kudos for everyone for pulling it off.
Midsomer party with the most lovely women decorated in the most beautiful flowers surrounded by good food and good company. I could not think of a more perfect night!
So nice to see Erin and JB !
Aren’t they all SO lovely!

Once again thank you for these Wonderful History lessons 👏 Always loved Leanardo da Vinci & his Genius 💙 ❤ your vlogs Stephanie ❤

Thank you for sharing this lovely trip! To visit a home of Leonardo! Oh MY!🥰. I’m smitten!
This was so amazing! Thank you for taking me with you!
Such a pleasure to see Stephanie and Vivienne become friends!!!!! From

To the person who wanted the perfume that stef uses on her patreon letters it’s Chanel bois des ilyes
Nice to see you’re travels, yet no place like home. Looking forward to seeing La Lande action soon.
I laughed so hard at the "Toast Channel" it hurts to walk.
Your joy is so contagious, I find myself smiling when I watch your videos.
Nice to see you celebrating the Nordic midsummer, kudos Marie!
Authentic Nordic experience with blankets!
Philip the toast holder would look fab on your desk holding letters papers
Nati could use one, too!
fabulous idea
I was going to say the same thing. That's what my Grandmother used her's for
Vivienne and Mr Darcy hehe they are gorgeous.What a lovely day ❤️🦘❤️🦘❤️🥂
What a wonderful way to celebrate Mid-Summer. The crowns are gorgeous and the table is absolutely beautiful. A lovely group of like minded people. 🍾🍷😍
A charming group! Good to see everyone free to visit without masks.
Your videos are even better! How is that possible? I'm starting to sound like Stephanie.
Great episode, wonderful locations and Phillip love the suit and Girls the flower crowns ae surpurb
i second that emotion! that was philip’s best outfit yet! what a lovely way to celebrate summer! agree those sketches overlapping the art was awesome! 🦩
That party looks like it was a lot of fun…for the ladies. ✌🏼
@Alex W You know it!
My great grandmother always use a toast rack for folded napkins when we had a buffet style dinner. Worked great.
Can only imagine what it must feel like walking the same steps as Leonardo da Vinci! 😍
That was so cool! I loved your little Mid-summer party, and I absolutely loved seeing where Leonardo DaVinci lived! I'm such a fan of Leonardo DaVinci and all of his talents. Thank you so much!
Erin's crown is stunning! And Philip, so many other uses for your beautiful toast holder!

I've never seen such beautiful crowns. Well done
I love the tasteful and gorgeous esthetic of Chateau de la Ruche. She is so talented. Love Love Love
I'm hospice care (terminal cancer)...the feed kept cutting at "toast channel"!!!! Too funny!!!!
I love those floral crowns. They’re so beautiful on!! ❤️

Oh Stephanie thank you truly
I felt I was standing right beside you
So breath taking my word my spirit
Is renewed 💞💫💫💫🥰
Omg!! I need to see more of this place! Leonardo was almost a God walking on earth. The divinely inspired master of all things.
I’m so excited to see this! I found your channel a week ago and now I’m hooked!!!😍🥰
Wow! Welcome!!! You need to binge watch them all from the beginning to get the full story. Wish I were in your shoes. Hehe!
Good luck watching back....
Welcome! 🤗
You will enjoy! Keep watching and welcome!
Hey! Lucky you! You have hours and hours of wonderful videos to watch! 🥰❤️ welcome!
