This is one of the best tours of a chateau you have ever done. His knowledge of history of the chateau at different periods and the people who lived there is incredible. What a wonderful estate with two very interesting and likable owners. The bloopers were so fun. A great first episode for your new channel.
Wow love the history it's great that it's not lost a very interesting chatau
Yes that was my favorite 😍🤩👍🏽
This is better than any show on the history channel. Congratulations on a mesmerising first episode. This château and it’s history expert owners would be fabulous to have a regular spot on your channel.
The ending, when the wheels came off was such fun. People are people the world over and who among us does not had a marvelous memory of laughing uncontrollably over - nothing. Well done.
Hi! You've a beautiful picture on your profile just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
I love it when owners of places like this, actually leave or put back the history and live with in it. I agree, the kitchen is spectacular. The size of it, the beautiful arches, the fireplace, plus modern stoves, dishwashers, etc. So much history in these walls, and the owners who appreciate it. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
I think the bloopers shows how much time and commitment, both Philip and Stephanie have, to give us all, the best possible tour of this beautiful chateau
Fascinating to hear the history of this beautiful chateau.
I love when the owners are the custodians of these magnificent homes and allow us in to appreciate their beauty.
Merci beaucoup.
What a great start to a new series! The Chateau owners are so down to earth and likeable. Their knowledge of history made this first episode very special. Stephanie, you’ve done it again! ❤
What a fabulous Launch Episode Stephanie! Congratulations! This was SO interesting and such fun. Loved all the history, the beautiful gardens and the bloopers were epic. Thank you all!
Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile! 😍😍Just decided to stop by and say hi 🙂. I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹🌹
All the best with the new channel Stephanie. I've lived in Australia since I was 3 years old (born in London) and I adore chateaus, history and Europe in general (especially France). I was struck down with a rare bone disease 8 years ago (mid 40s) and am now physically disabled in a wheelchair and unable to travel. I'm so enjoying travelling from home, through your channels, others you've shared and all the Escape to the Chateau DIY vloggers.
As I read other comments today I wanted to encourage you....
There will always be people who love, like or dislike any creative content. I'm a blogger, Podcaster and have just had my first book published (my memoirs/plus tips for others living with chronic disease to live the best life possible). I know how hard it is to try and decide what to share and what direction to take with a brand. My story is one of love, laughter, faith and hope..... a little similar to your "life, love and laughter"
Just be true to yourself and follow your heart. Doing this will always ensure you will connect with those who will appreciate all you are doing.
Hope you're enjoying your holiday....also so important to rest and take a break from the public life. Take care, Sam x

"Mark Hermans " channel, healing garanteed.💖
The cat meowing was hilarious, but the bloopers even better! 🤣
Seriously, what a magnifique place! The kitchen was amazing and the floors! 😍
what was in the dish on the tray with the wine glasses that cause the laughing? love this..
@@keithj3223 I don't know!
Just the microphone! Sonia had hidden it there
@@rose-marie7351 Rose-Marie, it was the microphone in the dish. Stephanie replied to me! I am honored, as that she is so busy. The video ended, an then afterwards, I realize how seamless it was, Stephanie has picked up methods from all of her channel 4 work!
@@keithj3223 i know she reply, she did it under my comments
One of the most fascinating châteaux I have ever seen. The history is amazing. It always surprises me how close together these major châteaux are. 🇦🇺
Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile! 😍😍Just decided to stop by and say hi 🙂. I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹🌹
Miss Jarvis takes her guidebook, her gloves and parasol.
And ventures to the country to find a house to call.
Bedazzling the owners with charm and gratitude.
They soon unlock all chambers and serve her even food.
No secret left uncovered.
All passage ways explored.
Miss Jarvis is quite thorough when she attacks the fort.
The audience applaudes her.
For they do learn a lot.
From grizzly crimes committed to brand of chamberpot.
I bow and I salute her:
For entertainment‘s prime.
Miss Jarvis is a diamond.
A treasure of her time ! 🥇😘
❤️❤️❤️
I do hope we will meet some day and have a proper chat and a nice cup of tea. 🫖 😊
@@GrandTourofEurope l think in that is so good

Hello from London
I love their kitchen! And the lavender....so beautiful. Love the bloopers at the end. I was cracking up with you. 😀
I am dying with laughter!!! The bloopers makes me really enjoy you all so much more! lol! What delightful people you are. And now on a serious note… I really appreciate the care the owners are putting into the castle. Back to laughing with you all again!
So amazing that so little was damaged to modernize. Beautiful. So romantic. The chapel so stunning. The kitchen!!!!
The bloopers at the end were so funny. Filming everything to look natural is so hard. Thank you. The history of this place was absolutely fascinating. Well done.👏
I don`t have anything to say but I have never been the third person to comment, so: Hi!
I was very impressed with not only the age and restoration of this castle but the wealth of information regarding its history that Chris shared with us. I was in stitches with the bloopers at the end. 😂 Thank you.
This was wonderful but the bloopers were the absolute best! I loved seeing the goofy side of their personalities!
Congratulations Stephanie. 🎉
If this video is a harbinger of delights to come then this channel will be a resounding success. Loved La Motte, loved your content. Can’t wait for more.
What a delight! I’m so looking forward to future discoveries. You’ve done it once again, Stephanie!!
This is one of the most beautiful castles I've seen and the history omg, what a corker Stephanie and Philip well done on blowing our minds. Haha nick and Dan so funny. Xx
Hi! You've a beautiful picture on your profile just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊
@@jacksonpeterson6899 hi there @Jackson Peterson, you are too kind, thank you 😊 for your uplifting words. Take care.
@@dawnrudd2496 You're welcome! Where are you from?
@@jacksonpeterson6899 I live in South Yorkshire UK, how about you where do you live?
@@dawnrudd2496 I live in the USA California, la. How's everything going in UK concerning the Covid 19?
What a delight! Just wonderful people looking after the chateau.
Chris shared so much history of the château, I actually watched this video several times to make notes so I can research. Thank you so much for introducing your viewers to this magnificent château & their owners. Congratulations on your new channel! ❤️
Presentations like this one is why I fell in like with Chateau Diaries.
Same here.
This is so awesome!! Loved this couple and the castle!! I’d love to know more of Chris’ history and how he came to own the castle and how he met his wife!! Just beautiful!! I hope they start their own channel!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Agree! A little bit of non-intrusive background, if possible, about the owners would be good to know.
Agree! Chris spoke French beautifully I think... yet couldn’t place his "English " voice... doesn't seem that French is his birth language.
@@gailcraig4495 Yes! That drove me crazy, what country is behind his accent🤷♀️
I was wondering the same thing
Accent seems americain
What a phenomenal first video for this new channel. The history content alone makes it substantial. Philip does his extraordinary video taping knowing exactly what the viewers eyes want to see. The sliding chapel stained glass windows, the likely provenance of the "Unicorn at Fountain" tapestry, the "wooden stockade" from the 15th century tower, the tailors bedroom, the "Throne Room", the kitchen of all kitchens....all so simply marvelous !!!
Stephanie you are delightful. Phillip’s life has to be so enriched because of you, your infectious personality, your joie de vivre, and your intellectual prowess. Admire and adore you so much.
Yes, I keep telling him that 😉😉😉
This is so delightful, Stephanie! Thank you for taking us on so many adventures. I love this idea for the new channel.
Also, I’m quite glad to now know where Borgia-Jesus painting from my childhood church (in a tiny mountain town in the US) came from. I always thought he looked a little too spiffy! 😉🫶🏼
Chris is amazing! His knowledge and passion for the history of the castle and it’s content is simply breathtaking! The bar has been set - this channel is going to be spectacular!
The preservation of this beautiful castle is quite shocking ❤
Wow! You’ve done it yet again with your appreciation of history, introducing us to such lovely people & worthy custodians of this charming château, with impressive knowledge and great taste! What an interesting, fun, exceptional video! Thank you & can’t wait for the next one. The bloopers show your genuine friendships and sense of humour too.. so thanks for the extra laugh at the end!
I already know I'm going to absolutely LOVE this channel. ❤
Thank you Stephanie....such a beautiful tour. The exterior of the chateau reminded me so much of your chateau. Loved the "Bloopers"!!
This chapel is stunning!!!
Stephanie, thank you for the tour and thank you to the wonderful hosts!!!
We watched Stephanie’s grand tour of Venice - it was one of the best travel films we’ve seen (and we’re junkies). This channel will be deal breaking!
Chris and Sonia are utterly delightful. Their castle Chateau de la Motte Feuilly is superb. Fancy it being connected with the Borgia family! The chapel is beautiful too. What an incredible gem of a castle. Thank you Stephanie, Philip and course Chris and Sonia so very much for sharing this very beautiful place.
So happy to get this channel! I love when you do deep dives into other chateaux, history and culture.
stephanie is blown away with learning and knowledge...not a drop of envy in her body 🤗
ℹ absolutely loved the Bloopers!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 And loved the castle 💛💛💛💛💛
Well done Stephanie..... Hope to see more of you with Oliver too on this channel! You both together make great co-hosts.
Ollie and I will be launching a separate travel channel, too! We’ve already filmed over 10 videos. But it will be more holiday type videos, whereas here I’ll be focusing on chateaux, towns and antiques (like my old Sundays at the Chateau videos 😊)
@@GrandTourofEurope Thankyou for the feedback. Everything in due course no doubt! You make us all fall in love with France over and over again..... You really are a National Treasure. Continued success to you all and in all your endeavours!
Oh my gosh-this was AMAZING! The chapel was really special. You all brought the viewer right into the space- I felt like I was there with you all! The blooper reel was hysterical- I had tears coming out of my eyes!! Looking forward to your next one!! :)
I laughed so hard. Thank you for showing the bloopers. 🤣😂🤣.
This home is absolutely stunning❤.
I loved every moment of this tour and the bloopers were the cherry on top! Thanks for the fabulous belly laugh! 🤣
This was a ton of fun! Beautiful, beautiful Chateau/Castle and it’s so cool to see the passion and knowledge of the owners! I feel as though I had a lesson in history, but a million times more interesting and fun than school ever could be! 🏰😉👏🏻
the bloopers are the BEST
What a throne room!Fantastic chapel!
Great start on amazing Chateau’s new channel!
I would've been happy to watch a tour of this beautiful castle for at least a couple of hours! It's absolutely stunning!! The outside was so beautiful as well! I would love to see the sitting room after they have redone it. I'm sure it will be beautiful. The bloopers at the end were so funny! When watching one of these magnificent tours we don't realize how many hours of filming it takes. At least I don't. The editing flows so seamlessly that it feels like you only filmed for a little while not hours and hours. It makes me appreciate the vlogs even more!! This new channel makes me extremely happy!!😁
What a breath taking building.
Best tour I have see and what a hilarious ending, Please bring us more chateau tour renovations!
Enormous treat...so fun with Stephanie and the hosts..
It's Amazing to see layers and layers of history through your eyes. Thank you for letting us step into past and take a peek at the lives back then. Beautifully done! And I will be looking forward to the bloopers at the end of each video from now on!
What an amazing place with so much history oozing out of it. I agree that the kitchen is drool worthy. I also love the family history that they are adding to the chateau with pieces from their own relatives. I also enjoy the little tongue in cheek pieces but I think my favourite place is the thrown room.
Chris is awesome but watching Nick climb that tree was incredible!❤
I'm doubled over laughing from the bloopers as well but will stop long enough to wish you a HUGE congratulations on your new channel. It's already a winner!! What a magnificent place to start! ❤
I am just SO VERY HAPPY for this new channel! I love old homes, chateau, and history. Thank you Stephanie.
Very interesting, the owner knows so much about the history of his castle. I love this new channel looking forward to seeing more. Especially the bloopers
Magnifique!!!! That was absolutely marvellous Stephanie......what a place. Your bloopers show just how much work goes into the smooth editing to become a seamless watch. Incredible! Well done EVERYONE! Sandi x
So wonderful, I enjoyed every minute. This Chateau is truly spectacular.
Phillip is doing a great job as the videographer. Most excellent!
This is fabulous. Can't wait to watch every week. A wonderful idea. Your knowledge of history is amazing. You are a great tour person.
This video was amazing! Such a charming couple and such a wonderful history.
Thank you all for an enjoyable tour.
🍁I love how the owner puts in fun whimsy with his history of the château, such as the ‘throne room loo’ 🤣 So amazing all his knowledge, this vlog was fascinating to listen to. The kitchen is my favourite room😍
What a love couple and beautiful Château, he is so knowledgeable and I really enjoyed hearing the history of their home. I especially love his sense of humor..the throne room with the bells and whistles, the little box hiding the sewing machine in the Taylor’s room. The bloopers at the end were hilarious.
Just think about how amazing it will be in the far far future when someone else is taking a tour of your home and they are explaining your background and what you took part in and what you build to the castle. It’s just going to be so unbelievable. It’s just kind of crazy to think about you know.
Such a beautiful castle and historical place thank you for sharing friend God bless
Philip ~ your handling of the camera is excellent! To name a few things: slowly panning... including the whole scene that is being talked about... getting just the right angle for every shot... I think it looks very professional. And I loved the bloopers with everyone's laughter at the end!
I totally agree, Philips camera work is so excellent and brilliantly compliments Stephanie’s fabulous presenting skills. I had just been re watching some of earlier Chateau Diaries Sunday episodes presenting the history of various towns cathedrals etc because that’s one of the things I most appreciate… the sense of being able to linger for a moment of awe at the beauty just as if I was there in person. You have no idea how grateful I am for all your hard work putting these videos together. Wishing you all huge success!
Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile! 😍😍Just decided to stop by and say hi 🙂. I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹
Being a lover of history, your new channel is deeply appreciated. The added bonus on top of the wonderful tour of such an historic and beautiful Chateau were the outtakes. They were both delight and reminder of just how much time and effort goes into each of your videos. Loved all of you cracking up. Thank you for the history, laughter, and all that you do.
This a magnificent, cultured and traditional renovation respecting and staying true to its heritage and history.
The owners are to be commended for their incredible work thus far and what is to come.
Knowing who he is and his work, one hopes he can survive the current times in Russia to continue this work. Good luck.
The Throne brings Having a “tinkle” to a whole new level 😆
Omg! I so needed a good laugh!!The ending was amazing! As was the chateau and it’s history! Thoroughly enjoyed this episode :)
Lovely to see such pride and passion in one's home. It's a gift to all of us. Thank you, Stephanie.
Loved the bloopers. Infectious laughter.
Those bloopers were hysterical !!!
You've set the gold standard. Looking forward to future Grand Tours very much indeed. History, art, architecture and mystery. What a beautiful chateau.
I have been very lucky through the years to have stayed in many French chateaux and every single time my enthusiasm from childhood resurfaced. I am always like a kid wanting to see everything in the chateau. What a pleasure to see that in you Stephanie, you live in a chateau yet enjoy the discovery with a childlike attitude. I think that is what my wife and I love about your channels. Merci and we love the bloopers. 😂👍🏻❤️
Wow! So much history! It's mind-boggling! Love the bloopers too!
❤❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. 🤗❤❤
Thank your hosts for inviting us into their private home. I watch lots of history channels and often Chateaux owned by women or the smaller ones have been overlooked (like Lalande and this chateau). The features in the towers are so unique and how they have arranged the kitchen is fantastic. In the past to hold the heat in, keep ingredients separate and stop cross contamination of food, the smaller rooms would have been necessary.
In the past, the kitchens in chateaux were huge. That's why the owner said that he knocked down the partition walls which created 3 small rooms in this old space.
Teh chateau de la Motte Fouilly is not a "small" chateau in the sense that it is part of the French history and is well known by any historians.
@@yomiv6232 Really. No separation of food stuffs by partition walls? Food contamination is a real issue in an kitchen. Vegetable sinks are coming back into fashion and issues with home cooks not knowing how to stop cross contamination in food is an issue now. My grandmother was a professional cook, the other grandmother a nurse and my father a microbiologist.
This was fabulous. It was so interesting. And that kitchen is amazing. The history of this chateau could be a mini series. So fascinating. Wonderful video, Stephanie. Bravo!!!
I would paint the green sitting room a version of warm pink and guild the mouldings in gold leaf. That would make it really cosy and elegant. Thank you for sharing your beautiful chateau.
Best tour. Thay know a lot about their own castle, so nice
I've been told before that the hitting of the bed was to level out the lumps in the hay inside the mattress, hence the phrase "Hitting the hay." Also that tightening of the support ropes under the mattress was where the phrase "Sleep tight" came from.
Oh Stephanie I am going to love this channel. I had watched your vlog first of course and then to see more of this really incredible Château was such a treat. It’s just mind blowing how old and the history to this place is just amazing and SO interesting and what a lovely couple that own it and are restoring it as tastefully, historically but loveable and comfortable all at the same time. To think of all the people that have lived and been to this Castle over the many hundreds of year would be astounding. I will be looking forward to seeing your videos each month. The laughing, giggly bloopers were so funny as well. Thank you.
Wow, what a delight to hear all the history and see it all. Thank you!
Stephanie... the portrait of "the most beautiful man in Italy" reminds me of Davey 😮 This tour was amazing! I do enjoy your history lessons very much! Thank you : )
Congratulations Stephanie your new channel is amazing. The chateau is absolutely stunning thank you for making it possible for the world to see it. Phillip and yourself transport us to wherever you are and we feel as if we are there with you all. Thank you another great channel to enjoy. ❤
What a beautiful castle. Loved the bloopers!!
I've always had a dream to live in a castle or chateau one day,but now I can watch it and still dream. This is a beautiful castle and gardens.
Merci pour autant d'intelligence et d'authenticité. Félicitations pour votre travail et votre habileté à nous faire partager vos découvertes et vos rencontres. Vous embeillisez notre quotidien.✨
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing history. Love the kitchen the chandeliers!!! what a delightful couple!

Can’t wait!!! What fun!!! Thank you for all you give us! Love and laughter from Florida.
You guys laughing made me start laughing. Thank you.
Oh.My.Word. The bloopers! Had me laugh right along with you.
Wonderful! I love not only seeing these beautiful old buildings, but hearing the history too. The bloopers made me laugh too. I've been in that situation filming and not able to stop laughing. Sometimes you have to give it a few minutes for sure. Oh goodness.
OH STEPHANIE!!!! I can already predict this channel being A HIT!!! 💕 Absolutely LOVE all the history involved ❤️ and the bloopers at the end had me in stitches!! 😂
Hi! You've a gorgeous picture on your profile! 😍😍Just decided to stop by and say hi 🙂. I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹
You guys are a little bit more than tipsy at the end!
I could live in that kitchen!
Merci bien à tous!
