Wonderful to see Benoit back in action as an apprentice under Phillip's masterful tutelage! And so beautiful to see Anna and Phillip's mom working their magic on the roses.
So awesome to see an actual blacksmith! What a privilege indeed!
So nice to see Benoit and his famous hand at work again and know that I was part of the community that helped that happen. 💖
I think for sure moving the cupboard was a good idea, the light in the hallway is back now and before it was blocked. Did you decide on the paint color? Hoping to get a candle now too...cheers to all of you and so glad to see Benoit healing.
Awesome to see the blacksmith doing his craft! Can’t wait to see the gates up
I love how happy the puppy dogs are! 🐶 🐾
My dad is a traditional forge blacksmith and I can just image how expensive these gates would be! That is a lot of hours work! They look beautiful and far better than any modern alternative.
I think the price is eyewatering, but the many years they will shine in front of the chateau is going to be worth it, probably not even that expensive if you consider its lifetime.
Oh how beautiful! It is truly amazing how people can make these things! They are going to fit beautifully in with your Chateau!
Wonderful to see Benoit being able to work again as well as tease Philip
Love watching the "Benoit & Philip Show"!!! So excited about getting a candle now in the US now! Thank you guys so much for all the hard work to make it happen. Things like this are just one reason we want to support you!
I got to admit when Benoit put his hands on Philip to guide the tool ,I remember my dad doing the same for me. He wanted me not to just know how to use the tool but to feel the sensation how the tool felt when used correctly and expertly it’s not just visual . It was a deeper exchange of knowledge building many new neural networks What a friend and Teacher .
What a wonderful flash back . That is amazing you set up a whole company to make your followers feel included. That shows a big heart because that was a lot of work.
Brilliant. I haven’t watched your vlogs for a while. I have missed the fun on your channel. What great vibes. Thank you for bringing fun. 🎉😊
Ohhh thats so nice for the candels! Thank you from the poor people! :)
Debussy “Girl with flaxen hair”. Love the music you play with your videos!
It is always fun to watch you guys work. Can't wait to see the gate up.🙂
The two ladies at the Chateau are wonderful to watch. Mother-in law and daughter working together.
C’est un métier que je ne connaissais pas. Du grand art.
Cela est très difficile à faire. Il faut être précis.
Bravo à cet artisan.
C’est beau de le voir travailler le métal dans son atelier. ❤😊
Amazing, those gates will look beautiful. Benoit is just so lovely and talented a carpenter and then you have Hildegard - lucky people to be surrounded by such good people wanting to get it all right along with you. Missed so many episodes, now trying to catch up - yep the cupboard needed moving had thought initially it looked odd positioning and didn't flow ❤❤
This is my favorite channel, it beats any TV show, especially since it's real and I enjoy reading the comments from the fans.
Since I don't speak English I use the automatic translator but I don't know why, in this episode it didn't work.
Este es mi canal favorito, supera cualquier programa de televisión, especialmente porque es real y disfruto leyendo los comentarios de los seguidores.
Como no hablo inglés uso el traductor automático pero no se por qué, en este episodio no funciono.
I don't know what I enjoy more about this video, the carpenter, the investment in an actual blacksmith-forged gate, or you guys talking about the candles. When I saw the launch, I thought that were too expensive, but I also knew it was because of production, I know you guys only wanted the best for us but sometimes we can't have it all :(
Thanks, lower prices very soon!
I can't wait for the gates to be installed, they're very beautiful. Thanks for taking us to see them Phillip. Lunch looked delicious too. Have a wonderful week. So nice to see Benoit at work again; I bet he's feeling wonderful to be back to his routine. Looking forward to the new wall coverings in the entrance too; Anna made them look so beautiful. She's so talented. (from Sandi)
Looking forward to seeing the finished mud room & the beautiful gates installed.
Love from Canada. Thank you so very much for the content and for sharing all that your Beautiful family are up to. Big Bissus to our Benoit.
You are so welcome!
Hi Anna & Phillip, Changing the cabinet and moving it away from the front door was a great move. Being able to see what a craftsman Benoit is once again, he is amazing. I hope you'll share the blacksmith with us and for anyone else who needs a craftsman like that. Mark & Scott
Benoit is a Master Carpenter , such a joy to see you 2 working together, plus his Pyrenees and Border Collie are beautiful ❤️ not slighting Ziggy of course 🐶
The climbing rose is lovely! So nice to see Benoit back.
Your dog absolutely loves Benoit. Does he hide bacon in his pockets lol? Love how Philip explains what Benoit is doing with "I have absolutely no idea". The boss knows best, the gates are wonderful! Never be afraid to prune a rose, it looks so much better.
I am so happy to be able to share in your lives and aspirations.
I can't wait every week to watch your videos!
Anna, you have been so patient, I’m just wondering when you are going to start on the building/renovating your attelier. I can see you are bursting with ideas now that you don’t have to cater for the guests but you have no where to undertake your projects. Philipp is carrying on about his boat, I think it’s about time you start bemoaning the fact that you have no creative space particularly as the projects you undertake will add to the revenue to the chateau.
I recall someone saying that yachting is a kin to standing in a cold shower tearing up $100 bills! Fun but not productive.
I’m team attelier and can’t wait to see what you would do in there. Seeing the coach house with the climbing rose reminded me that when we saw inside the space was perfect for a place for you to work and create in!
Best wishes as always from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
Always good to see Benoit....he looks happier these days❤😊
This was such a great episode! Loved seeing a consummate craftsman at work on your gates, and i exorcism love your commitment to supporting local artisans in everything that you do. The climbing rose looks lovely - you did a great job pruning and training it. Well done listening to your fans and figuring out a solution to the price and shipping costs of your beautiful candles. Wishing you success in all these endeavors!
Your channel is always delightful. Somehow, Benoit makes it even more so. It is good to see him back doing what he loves (and making fun of Phillip).
I love the content you put out, I look forward to watching every Sunday afternoon. However, since I’m visiting France this week I get to watch it in the evening.
What a privilege to see the actual gates being made. A true art form 😍😘
As always, Bravo! Benoit. Being a part of helping get his shop modernized and back up is still a marvelous feeling. The relationship between Phillip and Benoit always makes me smile. Also a Huzzah! to Phillip's Mom for all of her time spent helping. So happy to here about the effort you both made to make your lovely candles available to us in the US at a more affordable rate. Looking forward to getting the head's-up email that they are ready for ordering. Thank you both for help in making g our Sunday afternoon even more special!!!
A much better solution for the cupboard!
The gates are stunning and worth every penny - simple and elegant - echoing the lines of the chateau itself. Hildegard is a treasure!
When you spend money on something you expect to last for a century or more, it’s worth it to spend on quality and style.
Can I also just say how much I love Benoit? The French can have a reputation for being rude but he is single handedly proving that to be wrong. He is so positive, cheerful & helpful. He always has a smile or funny comment. The man is a treasure.
So good to see Benoit working with his hands again.
Good to see master Benoit back at work and being able to use his hand again.
😊Philip & Anna, I have been following your progress for over a year now and have loved every minute. But today was very special. I loved seeing that wonderful metal craftsman working on the gates. What a talented individual. Thank you for sharing him with us. See you again soon. John from LI, NY.
idk what this says about me but i’ve been literally HOLDING MY BREATH for months for this gate update
Great idea on the candles! I could not even consider it at the old price. Another thought - i'd love to know more about what Anna wears! I loved the tan pants she had on in this video.
Benoit did great job again. The moving of the cabinet to the corner definitely improvement as to give corner useful function. New layout gives the dark space more light. Now I could see your dark blue base working rather than turning hallway into a dark tunnel with old layout.
The blacksmith appears to be a true artisan
So happy to see Benoit doing so well! Looks like he is training Phillipp on how to take off some fingers!! Just joking. Love the back and forth banter between them! You guys are making such a beautiful home.Keep up the good work. And Phillipp, as much as I would love to support your desire for a boat I cannot! You are a father of young girls who need their father. Are you ready for that danger?? None of us could live without you !!
Lovely vlog good to see Benoir too ❤❤❤
The gates are looking beautiful ❤️ love the banter between Benoit and Phillip 😂
Good to see Benoit back in action.
You have a wonderful mother in law. Hugs for everyone, from Canada 🙂
Love the dogs joining in 😂
Philip and Benoit are wearing the same trousers... they look alike! Who is the influencer? :[]
Anna, what were you using on the brick to pin up the climbing rose? It looks terrific.
What Benoit did was scribe the wood to the wall. To follow the irregularities of the wall and create a seamless fit.
Oh yeah! 🙌🏻
You got angry comments on the candles? That’s sad. But I agree with the people saying that the candles are too expensive. I like scented candles a lot and I also spend some money on decoration and stuff but even though I believe your product is perfect it didn’t convince me to buy it. I would buy it if you lower the price so I can’t wait till it’s offered. Thank you for taking comments seriously and a huge thank you for your great vlogs! I love them!
Minute 11:50 to 12:08 is so beautifull i play it twice! Love the window and the roses and the loving family labor you are doing ....
for your climbing rose....firstly you need to use stainless steel wire only.....galvanized, although cheaper will only last a season or two....and it then becomes 'painful' to redo. For a climbing rose 2-4 mm dia. is acceptable..you can use galvanised attachments to reduce cost......for the rose itself, you will get more blooms on the horizontal so it's best to have main stems giving height but promote good horizontal branches which will provide many more buds than vertical...
Thanks so much, I can't wait to get a candle now!
The gates and hallway are coming along great, but the prize for today is the Rose,,,just lovely!! ❤
I traveled throught France a number of times and have eaten in a variety of restaurants, from a rural auberge to the big names in Paris. I ate divine food and food that made me sick. TRhe best places, Howver, where not those outrageish expensive 5-star places in Paris, but those unknown hideouts in the countryside with a very limited selection of food and wines.
next time you may stop at one of the "Les Routiers" along the routes nationales. 😊
14:55 Hello, i am new to your channel and adore the chateau, your achievements and skills both independently and as a team which is not easy to achieve; my husband and I were founders, chiefs and partners of a D2C financial services co. in the UK with 150 odd employees for nearly a decade and I can’t tell you how hard we found containing our “us” from the team! So I hope you feel the full sense of the compliment when I say that I applaud you both!
However, I will also caveat that with the fact that we no longer work together and never will! And, that I am sure that our antics had nothing to do with deciding to close the co. last year… or maybe it did, haha, or as Phillipp would say, “You would have to ask the staff, but I can’t be sure they even existed…maybe it was all an optical illusion!” And also I should consider that maybe it is that the two of you don’t work so well together and it is due to Phillipp’s amazing skills as filmmaker, director and editor…. Of which I am sure it is Phillipp however, that is no reason to ruin so many pairs of Anna’s, nee the household’s “good scissors”, as we say in Australia, and to me,I have no doubt in my mind that it is actually a crime against humanity to do such things and therefore Anna can pursue punishment to the full proportion of such a crime! Again, haha, i am being silly, but I do wish to know all about the scents and notes of your beautiful product. Thx, all the best, RE
Anyway, please excuse my silly banter esp. as the reason why I even commented in the first place was just to say that there is no description of the candle scents on the web page (or at least I couldn’t find it) so I can’t decide which one, or even both, to purchase. So please let me know how I get the info, or if that is something in your marketing strategy you meant so I would receive a wonderful surprise upon receipt of my package?
Thank you so much for your lovely comment😂, made us laugh a lot, there’s actually a description of the scents already on the landing page: lefleurstore.myshopify.com/
I will try to improve the page though! Thanks for your help and cheers from Normandy.
The scribe master- Benoit! Full on perfection! Looks wonderful you guys!
I am a bit behind on the news front. Did Benoit actually cut off his fingers in an horrific carpenter accident? Good grief! And with the miracle of modern medicine they are back and functional? Catch me up please! The gates look wonderful. As do the roses. I adore Philips’s ironic sense of humour. Never change!
He cut them really badly, like through tendons and bone, but not off
S. Girl: Thanks for the info. I was absolutely horrified when that tidbit was shared a couple of vlogs ago. I had visions of four severed digits lying on the sawdust covered and blood splattered floor. I am so glad that modern medicine is capable of such miracles!
Climbing roses are lovely 💐. Looking forward to seeing them grow there….oh I’d love to do a watercolor of that scene 🎨
Great idea on the candles. Everyone needs to hit the link in the description to get on the lefleur mailing list!
Except if you live in Australia:((
This is definitely my weekly episode i look forward to watching 😊
Glad you enjoy it!
The gate is beautiful.. as a half Italian ( Mother is from Florence and is a classicist ) The "fleur de lys" is actually an iris .. and is on the coat of arms of Florence and when Catherine de Medici from Florence married Henry ll the flower was then incorporated into the French iconography and dubbed a lily......btw... I hope the motor for the gates is engineered to carry the weight of the gates.... I would have also a way to move the gates without the motor..just for the emergency of having to leave urgently and the power is out...
Just signed up for the news letter.
It is 3:40 am in Seoul, Kore. And I am happy to be woke in the middle of the night 😂
It's so wonderful to see how you are supporting traditional craftsmanship and how much artistry is involved in making such things. Thank you so much for sharing it. May I make a safety suggestion for the bench at the backdoor mudroom? Sand those corners down to a soft curve. The kitchen island too. Really interesting video!
Absolutely love seeing all the artisans, including Benoit with perfect outcomes.Renovating 120 yo house on disability means a whole different level of elegance than your candles which I can smile and appreciate from afar.
The entryway is going to be much easier to get into, smart move.
The rose bush is beautiful! What are you using to attach it to the wall?
I so look forward to a new video from you. Each one is filled with creativity, beauty, charm, and of course Phillip's unique humour. This episode was so rich with content: the re-designed hallway built-in (Anna was so right, re-gained more light in the hall), peek at the elegant future gates, the beautifully transformed climbing rose, etc. Thank you, as always, for sharing your lives with us.
The dogs are sooo happy..looking at your carpentry skills you make a better that average apprentice..the finishing of jobs that were wanting..happy days to you all..❤
Greetings guys! The old brick pediments on the carriage house are stunning! Hope all is well! Cheers! Thomas!
Phil, hopefully the door wings are coming with supporting casters so that the stone posts aren't tipping over.
YES! Although that would make great video.
The massic glass is nice. But have you considered offering refills as well (just the candles wihout the glass) ?
Benoit has such a nice smile! 🥰
Merci 😚
Hi Philipp and Anna, always a pleasure to see Benoit, Philipp I just love you two together. The gates are going to be beautiful, just what Chateau Le Fleur, needs. I am so happy the candles are now being sold in the states. The hallway is coming together beautifully. Love from N.Y.
Congratulations on the Candles! I’m sure they’re impeccable for the price. 🎉
Since launching your website and whereas you’ve mentioned the complex process and your strong desire to offer your followers something “bespoke” why not offer Anna’s wallpaper designs in gift wrap or stationary? It certainly is unique to your brand, as bespoke as bespoke can be!! Anna’s amazing designs should be available in some way; wallpapers, wrapping paper, stationary, fabric etc.?? I hope you find a way to offer them to the public and to those who’ve watched Anna create the original artwork??
My computer's playing all kinds of havoc for me tonight, but I'll definitely be back to see what I missed!
I sure know about shipping costs!.....I have a gardening friend in France (I am in the USA) who I sent tomato seeds to....the shipping for a few tiny envelopes of seed was astronomical!
I'm far from poor.. but these candles are 🤯 expensive. Lovely though
Great video! The gates are going to be gorgeous-what talented artisans!! It warms my heart to see Benoit happily working and the boot room is great. Can’t wait to order a candle. Thanks so much for making them more affordable. Love you guys!
Benoit is the absolute BEST!!
Glad to see Benoît working again.
The gate is gorgeous and so is the bootroom and rosebush. You guys are awesome!
Hopefully the candles will be affordable now for me 😊 here in Canada.
So exciting.vant wait to see your gates insitu...on my way to get a candle...I'm in the UK
Nice to see Benoit too and the dogs all behaving
What were you using to affix the roses to the Chateau?!
Benoit has such a wonderful sense of humor and I love how he teases the two of you. The gates are going to be a stunning addition.
Seeing the gates in progress at the blacksmiths was fascinating! Looking forward to seeing them installed. And Anna, have you decided what color you'll paint that front room with cabinet that's been taken out? So much enjoyed this video, had a little bit of everything and everyone😊
Benoit will transform Philipp from a mason into a carpenter yet (but I think it will take considerable time )
Dear Anna and Philipp, watching your videos is always a relaxing and joyful moment for me. I never believed in fairy tales but I do believe in your reality, full of true feelings. In my opinion you are positive, modest, talented, courageous and humorous : it's simply magical nowadays ! A complementary couple as yours is the key of success, as well as wonderful parents, lovely children and sincere friends (a special mention to Benoit and Nathan who are incredible). Many thanks for sharing your technical experience and your good vibes. Long life and best wishes to you and those you love. A grateful French retiree from Burgundy 🙋♀️ 💜
$120 (USD) for candle? Is that correct
Other superb video!! Hall unit looks fantastic
Nice video. In fact I love ALL your videos! Benoit’s work is perfect as usual. ❤❤❤
5:44 Benoit's dog is me when im watching their videos
Ce serait bien d’avoir la même chance au Canada dans les maritimes.
I really missed Benoit‘s dog
Hopefully the gate columns are strong enough. The anchors of our big iron gate moved over time in between the stones and cracked them open. The upper part broke loose and came down.. Oh the pleasures of ownership.
🥺
May I just say: It's oddly comforting to know that even someone with your sense of design sometimes makes "mistakes" and changes direction halfway through the process! 😅
It looks so much better without the cabinet blocking the light!
Excited to see the final result!
