This week we explore the hidden doors, secret passages and private bedrooms of the spectacular Chateau de Saint-Chartier...
To read Ivo's "Death in Saint-Chartier", a gripping book set in this chateau, click here: amzn.to/3iwd13Z
(This is an affiliate link, but that's definitely not why I'd like to promote the book. I think it absolutely captures the atmosphere of the local area and the sense of mystery that surrounds Chateau de Saint-Chartier!!)
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
In 'Sundays at the Chateau' Stephanie shares French chateau life and culture with you ❤️

You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 400 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only our lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

@@sandicarpenter2658 I had the same thought about Afghanistan. So sad. So horrifying. Wish I could 'rescue' all the women and girls and take them to a safe place. Let the 'boys' stay there and kill each other off. Maybe that's the only way to end such evil is to eliminate procreation.

yes that was great reminded me of Theo en Thea en het tenenkaas imperium a dutch movie for children in the end they get the power over the evil witch and first they want to turn her in something ugly but they decide to make her a kind loveable woman. The witch than gives a speech telling the audience she wants to breast feed all the babyseals personaly. With Stephanie her remark its only the second time i am confronted with that idea. and its amazing i mean why not she explained it so well and so logical.

I cannot believe the many generations of collecting, varied cultures and 100's of years behind this collection! Again, I am overwhelmed after watching the first portion of the tour. My hope is that this collection has been categorized and the cultural artifacts recorded. The portion of this collection which was viewed is breathtaking and I hope Mr. Ivo will invest in having it adequately documented and preserved for future generations to appreciate if it hasn't been done already. Also, I'm not someone from a museum background, but I am a collector and appreciator of antiquities. Thank you to Stephanie, Ivo and Phillip!

I have no idea if he collects already collected collections or he collects objects himself to make his incredible collections. Which ever way he does it he has an incredible “museum” that is waiting to be shared. He is the most interesting of people and one of the knowledgeable, handsome and articulate person I’ve ever seen. You are so lucky Stephanie to have him as a neighbour. He would be a regular at my dinner table, imagine the stories he could tell! I’d be enthralled.
