- We've been vlogging for a full year! And chateau life continues at its varied best - Stephanie and Marie scour the vintage shops for props for a mysterious summer party, Grant and Ben transform the chateau with their antipodean brawn, David continues to cook up a storm wearing lycra and towels, and Mummy and Stephanie have a glorious opportunity to delve into the lives of the Avignon Popes...
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This weekly vlog follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️
The history lessons on these blogs is really informative & very interesting!
i love the call of the peacock , its such a beautiful sound
Hi Stephanie, I found you during the lockdown and what a blessing it has been. We are bombarded daily with negativity that sometimes makes life unbearable. You are a joyful light for me and many throughout the world. Thank you so much! I'm planning a pilgrimage of sorts to Cathar country (it's on my bucket list) and will make my way to Chateau Lalande. Btw, I live in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the USA.
Re-watching every single one and I love and miss how close you and Marie were!!!
I love rewatching!! These swimsuits 🩱🎉
Your videos are safe, warm and friendly. A rare thing nowadays xxx
So very true x
I love the mother “There are no standards in this kitchen” 🤣🤣🤣
God! I love Grant ❤🇦🇺 he always makes such an impact! Mailbox, porch pergola, courtyard edging, the man is a legend.
I so look forward to your videos my Friday morning ritual here in Australia watching you with my toast and coffee. Your so lucky to have Marie such a great friend.... We all need a Marie in our life.
Thank you! And yes, we really do. She makes me laugh every single day (in a good way 😉)
Donna May. I totally agree. I love the snippets of history. But I tend to watch these blogs before sleep here in my bed (also in Australia)!
I just love how everyone who works at the Chateau leaves their mark. Do you assign them jobs or do they chose what to do? The post box is a treasure.
Darby King-Maillot there’s a chore board in the wash up room.
From what I have gathered: They have chores but Stephanie has said that she tries to see where the personal interests lie and go from there if possible. And I think they are free to also be creative on their own. (However, I think they consult Stephanie when it is major decisions on aesthetics or such )
Happy 1st anniversary of vlogging. Keep them coming Stephanie they always put a smile on my face.
You certainly know how to have fun .... I love how you find pleasure and joy in so many different situations.
Ben & Grant, men who know how to eat.
I’m all caught up (twice) it’s 1/1/24 and I just found this to watch! Lovely surprise and it’s interesting to see how much has changed at LaLande since this vlog 🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
Love it! I have watched all 70 Volts this last week and everyone brings me joy. I so glad I came across your adventures on TH-cam 💞 Much love and hugs from Tacoma, Washington
Wow! It’s amazing that you watched them all so quickly! I’m really happy you enjoyed coming along on our adventures 💛
there is so much joy in your world. i'm achingly jealous. and i wanna process all that fleece. also, bra, and tiles! oh my. thanks again for the chateau life fix.
I wish you lived closer and I could send our fleece to you!
Stephanie your videos are a joy to watch! I’m currently watching all the Chateau diaries in order. Everyone is amazing!! I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Wow this is Stephanie at her very , very Best ! The French Tourist Board should be in her hands completely as she delivers the history that is completely captivating , seeing the Hotel was like a memory for me as it featured what was always and still is one of my favourite fabrics as a chair cushion !
Love that Pope what an interesting Vlog, this is when you are at your best Stephanie, Wondrous .
The Post Box is where it was meant to be, it is lovely to see how people all love doing things for you, so happy to see beautiful Isabelle and Percy.
I am sure the day will come when you have a Theatre in that wonderful building for your musicians and you singing as you do so beautifully.
I can picture it already. X
Goodness, I would love a theatre! Which fabric was the chair cushion in? I so want to stay in that hotel!
The Chateau Diaries , In one of the very first of you Vlogs I remember yo saying how much you would love a Theatre for an Orchestra, I remember thinking to myself ! I bet she will one day so hand onto the dream Stephanie. That fabrics was at La Mirande Hotel in Auvignon in the yellow and turquoise bedroom you filmed, the cushion was on the chair and another tub chair was covered in it beside the curtain, I can’t remember the name but it is a high end house ! Tried to track it down ! Jo
You ladies look like teenagers having fun with your
green swimming suits!
Thor is gorgeous but David is a vision of paradise. 😍😜😘
Love soaking up the history and adventures with you all. And the letter box is absolutely wonderful!
Thank you for another great history lesson!!
The information about the plague is so chilling these days. It would be good to have that pope back to add a note of rationality to all that's going on now.
Ha! In the hotel room there is a beautiful cushion on the right. I have a scrap (large scrap) of that fabric. It's in a slightly different colour way. I'm inspired to get on and use it now. Fabulous vlog 💐
Sort of surprised the garden beds don't have a Stephanie headboard and drapes.......11
Delightful discovery. I’m binging and feeling very French haha!
yikes thats one raw and bloody piece of meat. 🤨
Only in Australia do we eat meat thats bigger than the plate! lol
My form mistress and Maths teacher paid for me to go on a school trip Arles for a week! I went to a South London Girls school of a 1000 pupils. Remember going to the Palace in Avignon ... I was amazed to be taken to several wine tasting events at 15...loved it..returned to lovely memories
Just love . Watching a wonderful programme from all the people involved in these wonderful do-it-yourself fabulous seeing everybody so happy doing very very hard work but the proof is in the pudding fantastic.
What nature has forgotten, you can always stuff with cotton!
It a pleasure to watch you renovating your chateau, your taste is exquisite. I'am browsing backwards and here, adored the La Mirande's kitchen. May be, you could ask Amaury, ( when nothing else to do!), to build a similar dresser for your porcelaine: its adorable! By the way, I am longing to see the chapelle with chandeliers, and the grand salon soon, please!!! I am 81
Can I meet the man eating veg and tofu? Seriously? Although it’s hard to not eat cheese n meat sometimes! 😅
Kristie Cox he’s in much better shape as well, I’ve noticed!
so it has been more than a year, what was the trip about that she couldn't tell us?
We were filming for the French tv series ‘Bienvenue Chez Nous’ which is a bed and breakfast competition. And we won! 🎉
Now when I open my phone it goes straight to your Vlogs 👍🙋🧚🌟🕊️🌟🌟🌟🌟
That did look so much like Lalande! Wow! At first I actually did think it was Lalande! The chapel was gorgeous just like Mummy at the foot of the stairs!
I just love checking-in every Thursday 💛. So enjoyable, funny & interesting Stephanie 🌸 Thank you. Love the new Post Box. This week had a bit of a "going green" theme - Veggie patch, green costumes ( looking fab gals)👌, green masks for Movie Night. Not sure if the frog was green too 🐸 lol! A good giggle. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑 SA
There was four in the bed and the little one said.-------------------,one of those steaks would last me a couple of meals ,love the post box,plenty of fun and history keep them coming
I received my first parcel in the new post box today. It was a very exciting moment.
You guys are all super fabulous!! 😂
Love all your videos, so want to join you I n the summer . Waiting to hear from you as to your availability, for two . My husband and I, very hard workers. We are looking to complete our own chateau purchase, when the quarantine has at l least calmed down. So would love a tutorial from you
Stephanie and Michael are starting a new youtube channel soon which will include looking at chateaus available for sale. You may find this helpful.
"Sur Les pont, d'avignon,
Alouette, alouette" ☺️(a song from our childhood)!
Sp.?
I love Percy in his suit beside David in his lycra and towel 😀 The tour of Avignon was very informative and fits perfectly into the vlog.
And now it’s 2,5 years later what was the reason for the trip to the South of France?
Oh my goodness! Stephanie I thought you were standing by a MIRROR in the still shot you have on vlog #70, but it was you and Marie showing your matching bathing suits. You looked so much alike. Are you sure your not long lost sisters?! 😂😂😂🙃🥀🥀🥀🌴🌴🌴 Btw...I love the new letter box too!!
And in the background a peacock. Just another day at the chateau. Simply love it!
what does Mummy say about 8:38? This is after she says "There are no standards in this house" then "it fits"
Was it a Mystery Murder Night at the dinner table last night? Yikes for the vegetarians..
David.... if I weren’t married!
I would pay good money for David to drop his towel. HA HA HA :-)
This video so interesting with trying on clothes OH Swimsuit outfits. That the sheep got sheared after this they looked so hot The history is all was so wonderful to hear and you make it sound so interesting. I hope you had a wonderful time with your Mummy.
Golly.... these men and their amazingly hard work! So cool!!!
Love that new post box ✉📮👑
i love the "new" letter box!!! You make me want to go back shopping in fripperie like I did in my twenties.... need to find a good one though! These moutons! I want to come the chateau just to see them and the paon!!!
I love how you all scrunch into bed for movie night.
LOVE your weekly gem's! What camera do you film on?
Thanks! I just film on my iPhone X. If I had a dedicated camera I think I’d forget to carry it around with me all the time!
I just loved this video Stephanie, And I love the dress you was wearing in the early part of the video. 😊❤️
That dress is from Zara! I think I’d wear it every day if I could 😂
Marie looks like she lost weight in this video - she looks great! :)
Love the new letterbox 💚💚
Hello Stéphanie , well i have kept to what I said and have saved up your weekly episodes to be able to watch 5 of them this evening . It was easier this time as I had my nephew and niece from Scotland and my 15 year old granddaughter from Tahiti on holiday .Maureen
I wish I had your patience, Maureen! I always watch episodes of tv shows the minute they appear, and then wish I’d saved them all up!
I bet they got the meat sweats. 🤔
Wow those steaks 🥩 looked delicious! A little on the small side though 😂
😂😂😂
Love rewatching these!!
A gem every Thursday
Thank you! 💛
I enjoyed the video, thank you!!
Sur le pont d’Avignon, on y danse on y danse.
I wonder what happened to David?
Ah,this made my day👍🌸
Nice can l come over
Love binging on The Chateau Diaries 💚
So much fun! You have the best people around you.
I really do, I feel so lucky to live with this group of lovely people 💛
a movie about pope clement would be fascinating!! Or better yet a series!!
That did look so much like Lalande! Wow! At first I actually did think it was Lalande! The chapel was gorgeous just like Mummy at the foot of the stairs!
Ben and Grant are so handsome and great worker bees. The mailbox is beautiful and so much better than the metal box. Love the garden boxes too.
Mummy and Percy are adorable together, I enjoy all the folks that come to this beautiful château.😘🍷🍷🍷🍷
Grant and Ben's steaks looked delicious! Yummmm!
Sheep love wheatbix
Watching as we’re in a stay at home mode here in Connecticut USA.I enjoyed going to Paris with you especially Avignon -the castle ! Thank you🦋
Here's a link to the previous visit of Stephanie & Isabelle to Avignon. Runs from 11:45 to about 16:45 of this vlog - th-cam.com/video/uuWsr0ZE1m0/w-d-xo.html
Love all your videos.
Another amazing inspiring vlog ! Which town was that where you had a beer?
Just realized this clog was pre Covid..how the world has been flipped on its ends!
I see a cat! who is that kitty?
David is so gorgeous, but he speaks so softly.
❤️❤️❤️ Heart be still!! Those steaks are to die for... YUM!!! ❤️❤️❤️
The flesh of some poor animal 🙁👎
@@jmk1962 Yup and it's delicious. We all make our own choices.
@@ruthhovsepian - And I bet you call yourself an animal lover.
Is you Mummy French by birth?
Yes, she is.
Oh I so wish I could join all of you at the Chateau. There is always something going on and always good friends to do things with.
Stephany put some inserts in your gift, and revel in the joy of being a Goddess!
The amount of animal carcasses consumed on this show really has my mind boggled.
Did Fred Flintstone and Bare Rubble move in ?? 🍖🍗
Thor is such a Magnificent looking peacock!
