    I would love to see a video of what a stay as a guest at Lalande looks like. Is there a schedule? What sort of activities go on near the chateau that they entertain themselves with? How long are guests usually there?

      The b&b is only open Thurs to Sunday. The two gites can be booked for longer as they are self catering. Lalande is very rural and prior to Covid I think guests only stopped there for a night or two on the way to somewhere else. Now its a destination for Chateau Diaries and Chateau DIY fans

      😉 Yes, that is a hoot. As was seeing his expression😳 when Vegan popped up in relation to the sweet treats🍌. Amaury is so adorable. It's lovely that he's taken on the daily watering💦 project too. 😃 It's always exciting when ppl discover the satisfaction of puttering outdoors in a 🌳garden🌾.
      To each his/her own on 💪labor saving devices. Like Nick-the -tree-surgeon with his brilliant firewood🔥 splitter.
      🤗 Consider myself a gadget girl. Love spiralizers, choppers, mandolins, etc. for chips🍟 , other 🥕veggies🥒, & 🥚hard boiled eggs. Also in ❤️love with "set it & forget it" small kitchen appliances like instant pots, slow cookers, rice cookers, air fryers, sous vide, bread machines, mixers, blenders, ice cream makers, & so on.
      😎 Plus〰️in LA w/o an air conditioner〰️ a lot of those gizmos also keep you from having to overheat 🥵 the house by turning on the oven when the mercury rises🌡.

Lovely as a cold starter or many at a buffet.

    Now I see how a childhood playing with Playmobil is perfect training for life as a chatelaine. Many new chateaux ventures seem to begin with 1. Assign room another purpose, 2. Clear room of items to Emmaus, 3. Play musical chairs (relocate useful objects to another room), 4. bring in yet another wardrobe from Narnia. Looking forward to what relocates to the shop (and how many of those objects are imprinted with woodland creatures).

Of course my perspective is outside of the actual interactions and relationships at Lalande and I wish Marie the best. I just miss the unique sparkle she contributed to the community at Lalande. Miss the flowers and the creative meals and the self awareness workshops and the rambles for wildflowers. Best wishes to everyone. I’ll never forget those quarantined months were the highlight was the smaller Cast of characters making joy in the midst of difficult situation and sharing with all of us. Thank you!

    On hot summer days under the pergola maybe you could get two large commercial standing fans ( not sure if you have electric in this area) we have done this for party’s and the breeze they create is very helpful . Just start off with the lowest setting as they can be quite powerful. Distance from the sitting area is key as well. In addition they help in the evening with bugs. Keeps them away. I love the château. It’s such a happy place.

      Not always. Kombucha is fizzy and very good for your tummy. Sometimes kefir is a little fizzy too. But if you haven't overseen the process and you don't know what all bacterias are involved, might be best to play it safe.

Thank you for brightening my day whenever I watch the vlog. As for Nick the Tree Surgeon - he is amazing! I so enjoy watching him bring the forest back to a usable natural wonder!

    You're establishing a shop? Wow! Stand back...that's going to take off like crazy if you merchandise it wisely. You should partner with Spode to design a blue & white Lelande series. This whole shop idea sounds sensational. I'm so excited for you. This could make HUGE profits for the chateau. Good luck. Keep us all posted. Jane from Georgia.

    Did you know? You can peel very ripe bananas, push a pop stick firmly through, wrap in cling wrap and freeze. They make great banana treats on hot days and are healthy frozen bites especially for children. Not for those with sensitive teeth however. ❤️ from Australia 🇦🇺.
