Chateau Love | Life in Paris and a French Castle

Жыл бұрын

A week of chateau-hopping culminates in a whirlwind escape to Spain. We receive a lovely invitation from our friend, châtelaine Stephanie Jarvis. Simon has not seen the "château" TV shows nor does he watch any chateau vlogs, so he receives a virgin tour of the incredible Chateau de Lalande, as featured on "Escape to the Chateau DIY", "Chateau DIY", and the iconic KZfaq channel "The Chateau Diaries". We receive incredible gifts from One Hundred Stars, see old friends and meet new ones. No weekend is complete without treasure-hunting at the local charity shop. As with most ‪@ChateauLove‬ episodes, it's a riot of food, gardens, friends, chateau decorating inspirations, and laughter. We cannot leave Barcelona without showing you the mind-blowing changes at Barcelona's most iconic landmark. Is Gaudi's Sagrada Familia finished?!?!?

A huge "Thank You!" to One Hundred Stars for the beautiful dressing gowns. They were the perfect gift for us, and they are surely the perfect gift for yourself or someone else!!

ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 22 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 18 years, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

This was beautifully filmed. Having watched Chateau Diaries for years I'm aware of it's beauty but you have managed to make it even more so thru the eye of your camera. And Sagrada, well, breathtaking.

Thank You lovely lady, I have never seen those stunning Jeweled stain glass windows in Barcelona at Sagrata. They are so incredibly beautiful, I wept for the privilege of seeing them.

It is a pleasure to be in your company. You and Simon are always so elegant, well spoken, and knowledgeable - your taste is exquisite. Loved Simon's comments about the progress at the Sagrada Familia. I missed seeing it when last in Barcelona....to my great chagrin.

Beautiful, and Vivienne, the best part of your vlogs is the sweet way you treat other people, you’re so kind and considerate, humble, and that shines out even more I’d have to admit than the beautiful things and beautiful people you photograph!💕

My mom used to say it too. According to the interweb, "“To market, to market” is an old nursery rhyme with origins in English tradition, dating back to the 15th century. Although its origins could date three centuries before, the rhyme was only published in its compact form in 1805 in the “Songs for the Nursery” collection." To market, to market to buy a fat pig; Home again, home again, jiggety-jig. To market, to market, to buy a fat hog; Home again, home again, jiggety-jog. To market, to market, to buy a plum cake; Home again, home again, market is late. To market, to market, to buy a plum bun; Home again, home again, market is done. To market, to market, a gallop a trot, To buy some meat to put in the pot; Three pence a quarter, a groat a side, If it hadn’t been killed it must have died.

Love your vlogs Vivienne, it felt like we were visiting la Lande with you and Simon. Oh- and now we know where Ruby ventures to when she is not around the courtyard! I thought at first it was a rabbit on the road and then, ‘oh no! It’s Ruby the cat!’😅 I’m so looking forward to seeing your latest renovations. You and Simon have such impeccable taste and I always love your enhancements of each room. There’s a lot of ‘loves’ in this comment but where else would it be more fitting than on Chateau Love? Oh another love - your sister’s singing throughout the episodes. 💖💖💖🏰💖
