This is one of the best tours of a chateau you have ever done. His knowledge of history of the chateau at different periods and the people who lived there is incredible. What a wonderful estate with two very interesting and likable owners. The bloopers were so fun. A great first episode for your new channel.

The ending, when the wheels came off was such fun. People are people the world over and who among us does not had a marvelous memory of laughing uncontrollably over - nothing. Well done.

I think the bloopers shows how much time and commitment, both Philip and Stephanie have, to give us all, the best possible tour of this beautiful chateau

This is better than any show on the history channel. Congratulations on a mesmerising first episode. This château and it’s history expert owners would be fabulous to have a regular spot on your channel.

I love it when owners of places like this, actually leave or put back the history and live with in it. I agree, the kitchen is spectacular. The size of it, the beautiful arches, the fireplace, plus modern stoves, dishwashers, etc. So much history in these walls, and the owners who appreciate it. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.

What a great start to a new series! The Chateau owners are so down to earth and likeable. Their knowledge of history made this first episode very special. Stephanie, you’ve done it again! ❤

One of the most fascinating châteaux I have ever seen. The history is amazing. It always surprises me how close together these major châteaux are. 🇦🇺

What a fabulous Launch Episode Stephanie! Congratulations! This was SO interesting and such fun. Loved all the history, the beautiful gardens and the bloopers were epic. Thank you all!

The cat meowing was hilarious, but the bloopers even better! 🤣 Seriously, what a magnifique place! The kitchen was amazing and the floors! 😍

I don`t have anything to say but I have never been the third person to comment, so: Hi!

All the best with the new channel Stephanie. I've lived in Australia since I was 3 years old (born in London) and I adore chateaus, history and Europe in general (especially France). I was struck down with a rare bone disease 8 years ago (mid 40s) and am now physically disabled in a wheelchair and unable to travel. I'm so enjoying travelling from home, through your channels, others you've shared and all the Escape to the Chateau DIY vloggers. As I read other comments today I wanted to encourage you.... There will always be people who love, like or dislike any creative content. I'm a blogger, Podcaster and have just had my first book published (my memoirs/plus tips for others living with chronic disease to live the best life possible). I know how hard it is to try and decide what to share and what direction to take with a brand. My story is one of love, laughter, faith and hope..... a little similar to your "life, love and laughter" Just be true to yourself and follow your heart. Doing this will always ensure you will connect with those who will appreciate all you are doing. Hope you're enjoying your holiday....also so important to rest and take a break from the public life. Take care, Sam x

Chris shared so much history of the château, I actually watched this video several times to make notes so I can research. Thank you so much for introducing your viewers to this magnificent château & their owners. Congratulations on your new channel! ❤️

Congratulations Stephanie. 🎉 If this video is a harbinger of delights to come then this channel will be a resounding success. Loved La Motte, loved your content. Can’t wait for more.

I love their kitchen! And the lavender....so beautiful. Love the bloopers at the end. I was cracking up with you. 😀

Miss Jarvis takes her guidebook, her gloves and parasol. And ventures to the country to find a house to call. Bedazzling the owners with charm and gratitude. They soon unlock all chambers and serve her even food. No secret left uncovered. All passage ways explored. Miss Jarvis is quite thorough when she attacks the fort. The audience applaudes her. For they do learn a lot. From grizzly crimes committed to brand of chamberpot. I bow and I salute her: For entertainment‘s prime. Miss Jarvis is a diamond. A treasure of her time ! 🥇😘

Fascinating to hear the history of this beautiful chateau. I love when the owners are the custodians of these magnificent homes and allow us in to appreciate their beauty. Merci beaucoup.

I am dying with laughter!!! The bloopers makes me really enjoy you all so much more! lol! What delightful people you are. And now on a serious note… I really appreciate the care the owners are putting into the castle. Back to laughing with you all again!

Presentations like this one is why I fell in like with Chateau Diaries.

This is one of the most beautiful castles I've seen and the history omg, what a corker Stephanie and Philip well done on blowing our minds. Haha nick and Dan so funny. Xx

Chris is amazing! His knowledge and passion for the history of the castle and it’s content is simply breathtaking! The bar has been set - this channel is going to be spectacular!

I was very impressed with not only the age and restoration of this castle but the wealth of information regarding its history that Chris shared with us. I was in stitches with the bloopers at the end. 😂 Thank you.

This is so awesome!! Loved this couple and the castle!! I’d love to know more of Chris’ history and how he came to own the castle and how he met his wife!! Just beautiful!! I hope they start their own channel!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

Stephanie you are delightful. Phillip’s life has to be so enriched because of you, your infectious personality, your joie de vivre, and your intellectual prowess. Admire and adore you so much.

This is so delightful, Stephanie! Thank you for taking us on so many adventures. I love this idea for the new channel.

This was a ton of fun! Beautiful, beautiful Chateau/Castle and it’s so cool to see the passion and knowledge of the owners! I feel as though I had a lesson in history, but a million times more interesting and fun than school ever could be! 🏰😉👏🏻

Wow! You’ve done it yet again with your appreciation of history, introducing us to such lovely people & worthy custodians of this charming château, with impressive knowledge and great taste! What an interesting, fun, exceptional video! Thank you & can’t wait for the next one. The bloopers show your genuine friendships and sense of humour too.. so thanks for the extra laugh at the end!

I already know I'm going to absolutely LOVE this channel. ❤

So amazing that so little was damaged to modernize. Beautiful. So romantic. The chapel so stunning. The kitchen!!!!

So happy to get this channel! I love when you do deep dives into other chateaux, history and culture.

Thank you Stephanie....such a beautiful tour. The exterior of the chateau reminded me so much of your chateau. Loved the "Bloopers"!!

Well done Stephanie..... Hope to see more of you with Oliver too on this channel! You both together make great co-hosts.

I would've been happy to watch a tour of this beautiful castle for at least a couple of hours! It's absolutely stunning!! The outside was so beautiful as well! I would love to see the sitting room after they have redone it. I'm sure it will be beautiful. The bloopers at the end were so funny! When watching one of these magnificent tours we don't realize how many hours of filming it takes. At least I don't. The editing flows so seamlessly that it feels like you only filmed for a little while not hours and hours. It makes me appreciate the vlogs even more!! This new channel makes me extremely happy!!😁

I loved every moment of this tour and the bloopers were the cherry on top! Thanks for the fabulous belly laugh! 🤣

What a phenomenal first video for this new channel. The history content alone makes it substantial. Philip does his extraordinary video taping knowing exactly what the viewers eyes want to see. The sliding chapel stained glass windows, the likely provenance of the "Unicorn at Fountain" tapestry, the "wooden stockade" from the 15th century tower, the tailors bedroom, the "Throne Room", the kitchen of all kitchens....all so simply marvelous !!!

It's Amazing to see layers and layers of history through your eyes. Thank you for letting us step into past and take a peek at the lives back then. Beautifully done! And I will be looking forward to the bloopers at the end of each video from now on!

What a delight! I’m so looking forward to future discoveries. You’ve done it once again, Stephanie!!

What an amazing place with so much history oozing out of it. I agree that the kitchen is drool worthy. I also love the family history that they are adding to the chateau with pieces from their own relatives. I also enjoy the little tongue in cheek pieces but I think my favourite place is the thrown room.

This was wonderful but the bloopers were the absolute best! I loved seeing the goofy side of their personalities!

Very interesting, the owner knows so much about the history of his castle. I love this new channel looking forward to seeing more. Especially the bloopers

🍁I love how the owner puts in fun whimsy with his history of the château, such as the ‘throne room loo’ 🤣 So amazing all his knowledge, this vlog was fascinating to listen to. The kitchen is my favourite room😍

I'm doubled over laughing from the bloopers as well but will stop long enough to wish you a HUGE congratulations on your new channel. It's already a winner!! What a magnificent place to start! ❤

I am just SO VERY HAPPY for this new channel! I love old homes, chateau, and history. Thank you Stephanie.

The bloopers at the end were so funny. Filming everything to look natural is so hard. Thank you. The history of this place was absolutely fascinating. Well done.👏

What a breath taking building.

Omg! I so needed a good laugh!!The ending was amazing! As was the chateau and it’s history! Thoroughly enjoyed this episode :)

Oh my gosh-this was AMAZING! The chapel was really special. You all brought the viewer right into the space- I felt like I was there with you all! The blooper reel was hysterical- I had tears coming out of my eyes!! Looking forward to your next one!! :)

Philip ~ your handling of the camera is excellent! To name a few things: slowly panning... including the whole scene that is being talked about... getting just the right angle for every shot... I think it looks very professional. And I loved the bloopers with everyone's laughter at the end!

Chris and Sonia are utterly delightful. Their castle Chateau de la Motte Feuilly is superb. Fancy it being connected with the Borgia family! The chapel is beautiful too. What an incredible gem of a castle. Thank you Stephanie, Philip and course Chris and Sonia so very much for sharing this very beautiful place.

Being a lover of history, your new channel is deeply appreciated. The added bonus on top of the wonderful tour of such an historic and beautiful Chateau were the outtakes. They were both delight and reminder of just how much time and effort goes into each of your videos. Loved all of you cracking up. Thank you for the history, laughter, and all that you do.

I laughed so hard. Thank you for showing the bloopers. 🤣😂🤣. This home is absolutely stunning❤.

What a delight! Just wonderful people looking after the chateau.

What a love couple and beautiful Château, he is so knowledgeable and I really enjoyed hearing the history of their home. I especially love his sense of humor..the throne room with the bells and whistles, the little box hiding the sewing machine in the Taylor’s room. The bloopers at the end were hilarious.

OH STEPHANIE!!!! I can already predict this channel being A HIT!!! 💕 Absolutely LOVE all the history involved ❤️ and the bloopers at the end had me in stitches!! 😂

The preservation of this beautiful castle is quite shocking ❤

We watched Stephanie’s grand tour of Venice - it was one of the best travel films we’ve seen (and we’re junkies). This channel will be deal breaking!

Oh Stephanie I am going to love this channel. I had watched your vlog first of course and then to see more of this really incredible Château was such a treat. It’s just mind blowing how old and the history to this place is just amazing and SO interesting and what a lovely couple that own it and are restoring it as tastefully, historically but loveable and comfortable all at the same time. To think of all the people that have lived and been to this Castle over the many hundreds of year would be astounding. I will be looking forward to seeing your videos each month. The laughing, giggly bloopers were so funny as well. Thank you.

I loved the bloopers almost more than the rest. It was so natural. Excellent premier.

This was fabulous. It was so interesting. And that kitchen is amazing. The history of this chateau could be a mini series. So fascinating. Wonderful video, Stephanie. Bravo!!!

Congratulations Stephanie your new channel is amazing. The chateau is absolutely stunning thank you for making it possible for the world to see it. Phillip and yourself transport us to wherever you are and we feel as if we are there with you all. Thank you another great channel to enjoy. ❤

I'm sure your new channel will be a great success! So glad you are launching this new channel as I have always felt this type of vlog is what you do best. (I've really missed Sundays at the Chateau, and your more in depth travel documentaries. I would love if you do a segment on Grasse and the history of perfumeries, and any chateaux involved in early perfume making. ( hope you do not mind me suggesting!)

Thank you Stephanie for your new channel! I was just hoping to see more history of Europe and you are the perfect host anyone could ask for!

The Throne brings Having a “tinkle” to a whole new level 😆

stephanie is blown away with learning and knowledge...not a drop of envy in her body 🤗

What a beautiful castle. Loved the bloopers!!

Beautiful tour. Here in Sydney a few years ago we had a visiting Art display at one of our Galleries of The Lady and the Unicorn. It was amazing. Tapestries record such wonderful medieval stories.🦄👑

Best tour I have see and what a hilarious ending, Please bring us more chateau tour renovations!

This is fabulous. Can't wait to watch every week. A wonderful idea. Your knowledge of history is amazing. You are a great tour person.

I am so happy you have started a new channel Stephanie! This is a fabulous idea. We will be able to see all your adventures together with learning about incredible European history! Thanks Stephanie, I love watching your videos! Hopefully one day, I'll be a volunteer at LaLande.

I have been very lucky through the years to have stayed in many French chateaux and every single time my enthusiasm from childhood resurfaced. I am always like a kid wanting to see everything in the chateau. What a pleasure to see that in you Stephanie, you live in a chateau yet enjoy the discovery with a childlike attitude. I think that is what my wife and I love about your channels. Merci and we love the bloopers. 😂👍🏻❤️

Merci pour autant d'intelligence et d'authenticité. Félicitations pour votre travail et votre habileté à nous faire partager vos découvertes et vos rencontres. Vous embeillisez notre quotidien.✨

I've always had a dream to live in a castle or chateau one day,but now I can watch it and still dream. This is a beautiful castle and gardens.

What a throne room!Fantastic chapel! Great start on amazing Chateau’s new channel!

Lovely to see such pride and passion in one's home. It's a gift to all of us. Thank you, Stephanie.

Congratulations on your new channel! What an amazing start. I just love all the historic connections. Good too that you’ve included the bloopers. With your excellent editing we would never know what it takes to make these vlogs. Much success to you.🥂

This was an excellent tour as Chris is a really delightful host and his knowledge of the history is amazing…you all were having sooo much fun towards the end of the tour😂😂😂 well done❤️❤️❤️

I've been told before that the hitting of the bed was to level out the lumps in the hay inside the mattress, hence the phrase "Hitting the hay." Also that tightening of the support ropes under the mattress was where the phrase "Sleep tight" came from.

Good grief 🤣😄😁 the bloopers were amazing!! Drew the attention of my whole household. Gorgeous castle!! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour and mini history lessons!!

Can’t wait!!! What fun!!! Thank you for all you give us! Love and laughter from Florida.

Thank your hosts for inviting us into their private home. I watch lots of history channels and often Chateaux owned by women or the smaller ones have been overlooked (like Lalande and this chateau). The features in the towers are so unique and how they have arranged the kitchen is fantastic. In the past to hold the heat in, keep ingredients separate and stop cross contamination of food, the smaller rooms would have been necessary.

Beautiful place 😁 I love, that they had an actual, big french clock working in the kitchen! Mostly, you just see them used as decor, and not running, which I think is a little sad. I wish we had been able to see more rooms!

This channel is truly amazing and what a magnificent chateau! That Borgias beauty was used to portray Jesus was astonishing to me when I learned about it from William Henry a few years ago. Thank you for this wonderful tour and the bloopers in the end make it even more profound 😍👌🏼💖

I am so excited for your new channel. Very interesting listening to the owners talking about its history. The bloopers at the end were priceless. I was bent over laughing with all of you. A fabulous first Grand Tour!

Just think about how amazing it will be in the far far future when someone else is taking a tour of your home and they are explaining your background and what you took part in and what you build to the castle. It’s just going to be so unbelievable. It’s just kind of crazy to think about you know.

Such a beautiful castle and historical place thank you for sharing friend God bless

Tour was lovely. I can't wait to see more adventures. The outtake of laughter was wonderful. A/C in the room was a brilliant idea to help keep people cool while sleeping in the heat that engulfing the earth. So excited to see more.

You've set the gold standard. Looking forward to future Grand Tours very much indeed. History, art, architecture and mystery. What a beautiful chateau.

This a magnificent, cultured and traditional renovation respecting and staying true to its heritage and history. The owners are to be commended for their incredible work thus far and what is to come. Knowing who he is and his work, one hopes he can survive the current times in Russia to continue this work. Good luck.

This chapel is stunning!!! Stephanie, thank you for the tour and thank you to the wonderful hosts!!!

This chateau is spectacular and beautiful!!! Loved the tour. Really looking forward to more videos on this channel. 😊❤️ PS: LOVED the bloopers 😂😂

A new channel! Sounds grand! Looking forward to it! Just happened to be home to be one of the first to view it!🥰❤️🥳

Congratulations Stephanie 🥰 I never get tired of all the fenomenal vlogs about art, history, culture, music, food, gardening and amazing humans. Always keep learning. Thank you so much ☺️

Wonderful! I love not only seeing these beautiful old buildings, but hearing the history too. The bloopers made me laugh too. I've been in that situation filming and not able to stop laughing. Sometimes you have to give it a few minutes for sure. Oh goodness.

What a great idea! I taught the history of the Creative Arts to my upper-primary students for several years and we did lessons on the Grand Tour. Really enjoyed teaching about it and helping the kids to see the impact it had on the western world. If I find a time-machine I'll be sure to go back to those classes and show them your videos ;) Looking forward to learning more myself :D Blessings with your new venture!

I love how much research your friend did, how knowledgeable he is & that that this has been shared with us. It’s fascinating & really brings history to life. I’m quite looking forward to future visits on this new channel. Thanks 🇨🇦

Stephanie... the portrait of "the most beautiful man in Italy" reminds me of Davey 😮 This tour was amazing! I do enjoy your history lessons very much! Thank you : )

The owner knowing so much history, which is obvious that he loves, was really wonderful. The only thing I would love to see on future videos is more talk from Philip. We know that he would enjoy it and he always has a good word to put in. And I'm sure when you saw that mirror and said Philip would love it that he was probably almost peeing himself looking at it and thinking how cheap it had been. The bloopers at the end. Fantastic! Keep up the good work. You've got another subscriber

Loved this, so much history! What a lovely couple. Thank you for sharing. 🦋

Thank you Stephanie 💗 I love watching your channel about Lalande 💗 But after the first episode of the new one 🥰 I'm definitely staying. The behind the scenes bit is amazing! I love you, your energy and both your channels. Be Blessed! 💗

Magnifique!!!! That was absolutely marvellous Stephanie......what a place. Your bloopers show just how much work goes into the smooth editing to become a seamless watch. Incredible! Well done EVERYONE! Sandi x

I am one of your Patreons who said just leave all your videos on one channel, but seeing this makes me agree with your decision. Great job. And please, more blooper reels. I’m wiping the tears from my eyes. Sooo funny!!
