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!

Hi Vivianne & Simon, So happy that your MRI results were good. When we lived in Kew Garden Hills, in Queens, NY we had a Kosher bakery in the neighborhood withe the most delicious breads, cakes and pastries. It is said that the only ones who look up at buildings in Paris are tourists and architects. I am a former student of architecture. I love the new addition and typically he has one blue and brown eye. So nice to share your family and friends with us. Mark & Scott

[@michelerowes4340]

Oh grandma please don’t die for it!!! You have so much to live for!

[@edwardulrich1515]

Vivienne, so glad that you received good news from your doctor and that you can return to your normal lifestyle. Great to see your mother enjoying her retirement. Beautiful puppy and Simon's challenger to the position of Lord of the Manor. Give Simon some hugs so he doesn't get jealous...lol. Once again you have sourced some fine jewelry. I was disappointed that we weren't treated to some impromptu harp music...maybe next time 🎉

[@denovo2008]

What a delicious episode. Congratulations all around! A clean bill of health🎉👏🎉👏, sharing memories with your Mom, a wonderful happy puppy. Incredible jewelry pieces, all with a back story, where do I start with my happiness. I would love for Chateau Love to have a painting seminar, painting on Limoges, my great grandmother painted an incredible Limoges punch bowl and stand. The colors are breathtaking. My favorite Family Treasure. I realize this dream may never come true, but Vivienne You are the Master of creativity❤️❤️🇫🇷❤️❤️. Have a wonderful week!

[@ChateauLove]

Hi Candy, that’s a wonderful idea! I’ve got some more porcelain painting episodes coming soon, and one day I would really love to host painting groups also. Big hugs! 🥰🏰💖

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Hi Vivienne! Glad to hear your scans came back positive. It’s lovely to see your Mom again. She’s such a delightful person whom you resemble so much there’s no denying you are her daughter. The new puppy looks like a polar bear cub and is as cute as can be! Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Hugs, Doc❤

[@cindygarrison6338]

Or negative! great news! Love the pup...

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Hi Doc, thank you so much! Your message has made my day and I’ll pass on your lovely words to my mom as well! Have a lovely weekend! 🥰🥰🏰🏰💖💖

[@ChateauLove]

Negative = positive!! Thank you!! 😁😁😁🏰💖

[@rayn8740]

I'm guessing 3. BALTHAZAR A.K.A. "BALTO" Because that's the one I would have picked. Although, the other two were awesome name too. He wins either way. What a cute puppy, he's an absolutely perfect little teddy bear. I can't wait to see how big he's going to get.

[@katewestcottvt]

Dear Vivienne , sooooo happy that your scan is clear! 😊

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Kate! 🥰🏰💖

[@leighevans1394]

So pleased the MRI result was positive . He is so cute !!!!!

[@hollykeller1545]

Congratulations on your test results❣️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Congratulations for expecting a grandchild ❣️👏🏻👏🏻🌻🎃

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Holly! The “grandchild” is actually the puppy and we were teasing my mother, but we are bursting with excitement nonetheless! 🥰🏰💖

[@Dlkells]

Hello so happy to see your mother visiting from here in the US. You talked of a way to age things in the garden, another way to do it quickly is with Buttermilk and moss! You put them together in a blender and paint it on the piece you wish to age or have the green grow on them. You mix half n half, experiment with how much. Don't let it get rained of. You can put it in a spray bottle also and continue to spray it until desired look is achieved. Lots of love from Green Washington State ✨😊✨

[@ChateauLove]

What great advice! I love it! 😁🏰💖

[@stephhunsley]

Gosh your mum looks so young! I love seeing Paris, thank you for shearing your life and scan results!!! Great news...

[@melissadambro8873]

Your Mom is beautiful - and so are you! ❤

That puppy is adorable! Odd that his hair is short on his face yet long everywhere else. Wonder what breed he is. So happy to hear your MRI news Vivienne, have been worried about you. And congrats to Isabella and Jack!

[@janpritchard8796]

I think the puppy should be named Keeper. He is adorable!

[@ChateauLove]

Great name! 😁🏰💖

[@jokeith1722]

Is it possible that your dog is an American Eskimo dog or maybe even a Siberian Husky with the light blues. He is adorable!!!!😍🥰
