- Welcome back to Dreaming of a Chateau!
Join us this Christmas Eve for our final episode of 2023. This December the entire family is finally united at Chateau de Puy Vidal. We wrapped the year with some final chateau projects that include landscaping, outdoor lighting, and caretaker cottage transformation into an additional new art studio. Finally, we take on the pool renovation for 2024!
From our family to you on this Christmas Eve, Thank you so much for following our adventures, cheering us on, and encouraging us. Your enthusiasm and support have meant the world to us. We wish you all the blessings and magic for your celebrations today and for the end of the year. Cheers to a magical and wonderful New Year to come!
We have received many requests to share our recipes, and so we launch a place for all the chateau recipes to live. If you have the will and inclination please try them and improve them. All cooks at this chateau cook from the heart and measure garlic with wild abandon bordering on contempt of the original recipe.

For Penelope-- going to Disneyland alone is amazing! I just took a “mom-cation” for a few nights from Seattle to Disneyland as a treat for myself- it felt so special- I could do whatever I wanted when I wanted! My teen kids were very sweet, and didn’t mind, they’d been recently as it was, so kind of them. I felt like a kid again, and I hope you had a wonderful time!! It IS fine on your own!!
How beautifully decorated, cozy & warm. Thx for sharing. Merry Christmas 🎄💫🥰
Merry Christmas from across the pond! To sit down and get this wonderful present from France today, just warms my heart! It has been a cold rainy day today on the Georgia Coast. The sea is all stirred up and restless. But you have brought the sunshine all the way from France.
I hope you have had a lovely day with those you love.
Merry Christmas to you all, and may there be peace in the world for 2024!
Thank you for the lovely video 🎉
Omg I can so relate to the cat's lack of cooperation! 😂
Happy Holidays to all of you. Thoroughly enjoy your TH-cam videos since they are longer than other chateau channels. It really provides an opportunity to get a better understanding of your lives in the Charente. Puy Vidal is so incredible, it's hard to describe. Wishing you the best, and hope you have a successful 2024, in all ways!
"Belle lurette" means a long long time ago. ;-) Merry Christmas to you all ! With Love, Lamia (from France)
Merry Christmas! Just wanted to let Penelope know there is a youtube channel Escape to Everdeen, she also does aerial acrobats. She bought a farm house and is redoing it to host aerial workshops. I don't know how close she is to you but who knows a friend could be around the corner.
Love you guys.
Wouldn't be Christmas without you.
Just love❤ watching your episodes!! I couldn’t wait for you all to come back on!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!
Happy Christmas! Wow, the drone footage of the water below your château is impressive! Love seeing all of your decorations, and all of the plans and projects you’re working on.
Personal merry Christmas to Bob. I see how sentimental you are along side your science mind. Wonderful you are in your castle with all your beautiful ladies and animals. Finally. Welcome home.
P.S. I almost forgot.....cheers.
Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you for sharing your Christmas with all of us. This year my husband and I are in quarantine since we both came down with Covid. We are grateful that technology still allows us to see all of our family and wish them Merry Christmas too.
Merry Christmas….❤ I know that your journey hasn’t been easy, so much work, money and time, but you guys are doing amazing at living your dream.
So glad you have created this quiet, beautiful time for yourselves after such a busy year preparing and executing wonderful retreats. Hopefully the winter season can be a time of rejuvenation, rest, as well as “cooking up” new ideas for the future. I just love your family. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. Wishing you much love and light during this holiday season. Love from Nova Scotia, Canada 💜🌟🎄
My favorite decoration is the cat in the middle of the table!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
Merry Christmas! I saw another vlog where they flipped the tommette tiles over the underside was natural and just needed a sanding. Might be worth exploring if you want the natural colour. ❤
I seen that too! I think it depends on how they were put down. But what a great idea and to be able to reuse them. 🙂
Oooo fabulous idea!!!!!
It's very common in Italy to do that, sometimes the tiles are ribbed on the flipside and it's actually great upside down if you like some rustic texture.
I would keep the curtains and bed crown and replace the entire bedding for something luxurious and very French. You could line the existing bed crown fabric with a contrasting color.
To create contrast, you could have the ceiling beams sandblasted and oiled, matching the nice wooden door.
Billy Petherick just did that at his Convent. It turned out very well.
« Il y a belle lurette » is a cute-ish way of saying « a long time ago »
Merry Christmas! Eating bacalhau at Christmas eve is also a very Portuguese tradition! 🎁🎄🥰
Love kitty supervising ♥
Beautiful vlog as always. The painting of the lady of the chateau was so stunning! Happy New Year to all of you!!
Rhonda, a happy new year to you and your loved ones. Thank you for watching :) Cheers to a beautiful 2024! - Caroline

My granddad was like your dad, and mom, dad and I are spiritual

Merry and Blessed Christmas and thank you for sharing your life at the castle.
Loved the cat fight lol❤😊
One word, magical! 👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
Your chateau looks beautiful! Agree that huge, heavy meals are better eaten earlier. Easier on the heart and give time to walk it off around the gardens before the final feast of leftovers! ¡Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo! ❤️💚
Love the drone shots, just beautiful. You all are so lovely and talented. Much success and love to all of you.
What a pleasure to hear the last bit of sharing. I so enjoy all that each of you have brought to your table. Blessings and wishes for the continual remembering of what is truly important to each.
A beautiful video and I’m so delighted you are all together 🎄
Simply stunningly beautiful!
And the Word was made flesh!!......so glad that you attended Christmas Mass
Merry Christmas ! Ever so soothing and beautifully presented . Thankyou ❤
Merry Christmas to you all, the chateau looked perfectly lovely. I know what the cat wants for Christmas--- a table setting of branches to sit on. My cat was just the same always sat on things especially when they were wet usually. Have a good holiday, I could definitely eat that pudding right now.
Your reactions to the "turkey" priceless, loved it! You are all fitting into your roles, just perfectly! Fabulous holiday video!
So very festive at Chateau de Puy Vidal and lovely seeing the painting finally in its' forever home. Thank you so very much for its' 'close-up'. It looks beautiful in the dining room! Every best wish to each and every one of you for 2024 with great memories of our Retreat in 2023.
