Chateau Love | Life in Paris and a French Castle

Жыл бұрын

We really need to get fit, and the days are growing shorter, colder and wetter! Soon we might not be able to walk in our beloved vineyards. Time to take action! A dull basement room gets a complete chateau transformation. Will we have success antique shopping? Did one of us actually buy something "disgusting"? This week there is an incredibly delicious and very unusual "Cheese of the Week". Did you know there is another artist in the house? His talents deserve to be on display!

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!

As a fellow photographer of flowers I must admit that these are spectacular photos. Well done Simon.

Im not into photography or art but seriously those photos of Simons truly took my breath away! Absolutely astounding and you have every right to be proud of them and yourself.

I vote for Villeroy and Boch! I own many different V & B pieces and they are lovely to mix and match!

I have been taking pictures of flowers for many years, flower as and leaves. However, Simon, yours are spectacular!!! It is really lovely that you have the space to show them so well. Vivienne your chairs are divine and that room is going to look awesome. I really love your style. The blue bowl Simon looks like a crown, lovely.

A beautiful home with very talented people, loved the floral images so clever. Must say Vivienne really liked the gold mustard chairs. Take care.

The White Flower petals with yellow center, framed photo, reminds me of a "bride on her wedding day"!

Have you ever thought about painting the drop ceiling panels in the art gallery black? You see that in a lot of modern day galleries. It gives the ceiling depth.

I just adored the view you shared on your walk. There is something about a misty morning that seems romantic and intriguing, in a Charlotte Bronte sort of way. In the 70's that gold on your chairs and ottoman was hugely popular and my home was adorned with it. They called it harvest gold in those days and if integrated well with your décor it will be stunning. It will be fun to see your room completed with the drapes and what ever else you are choosing. Simons photos are brilliant! My daughter was into photography when she was younger and actually won a contest with a photo of magnolias in a vase. Thanks for sharing today - it was fun.

Beautiful art work thru your photos Simon. Well done. Cracked up at the hat trying marathon 🤣🤣🤣So silly. It was wonderful to see Sally again. I had never heard of black garlic or the cheese you had with it. It looked very tasty. The gym looks beautiful with Simon’s photos. I like the bottom rug in the room with the mustard/gold chairs. Looking forward to seeing how it all ties together. Thanks for sharing in the giggles 😂😍😘

Simon is in humorous form. "I look like a chess piece". LOL I agree that the other tureen is more beautiful and worth the money. Lot's of detail and gold. Stunningly beautiful photographs of flowers!
