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! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, 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!

Oh I am so glad to see your post Vivienne, I have been so concerned about how you were after the Christmas video! When Stephanie mentioned she and Philip had caught up with you on their holiday I gave a big sigh of relief... Now I will watch this episode with relish! Love to you, Simon and Isabella for a great 2023.❤️🙏🏻

Yes, please to sister extra video. Rest and heal first. Take care.

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

This was a wonderful surprise! I really enjoy you and Simon and the family, all you do, experience and create. So often, I looked for a vlog saying you were well and completely "back" and with us again. Thank God you are on your way and surrounded by love and excellent (and regal!) care! This "year in review" was such a treat. Your daughter Isabelle is such a stunning classic beauty and looked so happy with her boyfriend. I will have to go back and enjoy some vlogs again - AND - I still have the pleasure of moving on with you! May God bless you and yours! Sincerely, Patricia

[@rhondathomas7952]

I was thinking all the same things Patricia! I must go back and rewatch some of them. Sigh! I must go do that with a cup of tea and put my feet up! 🥰 I live such a difficult life. Hehehehehe🎉

[@jadejohns3107]

Ashley has such a kind lovely face, her eyes tell how much she loves you Vivienne xxx Sending you so much love and peace on your healing journey. ❤️✨

[@katherinecormack5727]

Now, that was a wonderful gift - two loving sisters enjoying their time together. So thankful that you are doing well, Vivienne! Here's to 2023 and love (Chateau Love)!

[@irenemulcahy2495]

Oh Vivienne it was so lovely seeing you enjoying spending time with your sister. The "year in review" of the amazing videos we have all enjoyed these past 2yrs. You certainly had a very full on time making the vlogs and editing them on top of renovating and decorating. Then the travels in between. We all have been wondering where you have been since December never thinking you were back in hospital and what a beautiful hospital at that. It would certainly inspire its patients to get well to be able to appreciate its gorgeous artworks before going home. I do hope you are able to continue with your vlogs when you are back to normal life as we do enjoy both you and Simon's sense of humour and your enthusiastic home decorating. Sincere wishes for a positive and complete recovery to 💯 percent health.🥰

[@michaelburne3936]

THERE IS NOTING MORE SPECIAL IN THE WORLD THEN A COMPLICITY BEETWEEN SISTERS

[@lisainnewzealand8461]

Viviane, you and your family are a part of my life, I look so forward to your vlogs, I've been one of your subscribers from the near start. I have been concerned. seeing your last vlog and not seeing you since, so glad you're on the up. Grew up with Air Supply. My father often sat in his boat in the evenings belting out Air supply on the boat's stereo speakers, him sitting on the driver's soaking up the music. While I up the house hallway, bedroom in bed waiting to sleep. He died too young, not well for a long time, Doctors missing that, Cancer, he was unheard and picked up way too late. He had a good size garage that housed a car, pool table and leisure boat. Air Supply was played in the boat while out at sea fishing or at the Lakes just chilling out on the boat on still lake water. Air Supply, good times and memories. Miss you Air Supply. Stats and reports show a large jump in Kidney issues. Love your family and your tastes in clothing and home. Can only dream from New Zealand

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, sweet Lisa. I have forwarded your message on to Ashley and Mirko. I’m sure the guys in Air Supply will be very touched by your story. Much love! 🏰🥰💖

[@sarahburton3110]

Beautiful ladies, thanks so much for sharing this video with us. You’re looking amazing Vivienne , wishing you the very best recovery and lots of love and happiness. 🌹🌸🌹🌸🌹🌸

GOOD LOOKS RUN IN THE FAMILY. GLAD YOU'RE BACK ON YOUR FEET!

[@peterwhite9261]

I am very excited to see the new channel and store. I am so happy you're feeling better, Vivienne. Having your lovely sister near helps, and she did great in this Q & A. It was good going down memory lane. The hospital is incredible. I am sure you are in the best of hands. Many years ago, my cousin developed blood clots in her lungs. She lives in the city of St.John's, Newfoundland. The doctors could not find out why she was getting blood clots. She had a 3 year old baby then. The Doctors in St. John's sent her to Toronto, where she kept getting the blood clots still. They ended up getting a surgeon to come from France. He saved her, and she got her life back. So I have the great of faith that you're in the best of care. It really is so good to have you back. We got to get all the chateau owners back for a big do. You have to top notch this every year now. Love from Canada.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Peter! I’m so happy your sister was so well-cared-for, and your message is very reassuring. 🥰💖🏰

You both reminded me, greatly, of my relationship with my sister. You can tell by your love and laughter that you are not only sisters, but very close friends to one another.
