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!

[@lisamcbarron6047]

Isabella and Jack(?) her boyfriend looked absolutely blown away happy at their NASA experience!!! So fun for all of you! Congrats on the arrival of your nephew too!!!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much! 🥰🏰💖

[@spiritofanu3112]

A new baby in the family is always a joyous occasion to gather and celebrate.

[@onedandylion]

Love Jack's little nod at Isabella's very interesting question to Astronaut Steve Smith - they seem to be a very sweet couple.

[@patrickjourneytothechateau9452]

Ohhhh darling……. It was such a big smile on our faces to see our meeting again. Stuart likes for a Murder of Chatelains….. I like a Kinship of chatelains…. Now a chatter of chatelains…….. I agree…. That is very fitting. Love your energy and can’t wait to see you again. Ohhhh and shipping items….. as you know….. is not as easy as people think ❤️💖♥️🥰😘♥️

[@ChateauLove]

Hello lovelies!!!! Someone just suggested a “Champagne of Châtelains” and I think that one is pretty great also! 😂😂Maybe Stuart is thinking that we should all be part of a Murder Mystery?! (hint-hint). Biggest hugs!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@maurawhelan3530]

A chatter of Chatelains! if I win I may need to visit! Te he. So nice seeing all of you together what a fun bunch!

[@jacinthehoogerbeets45]

a Brocante of Chatelains 😂

[@mika72.-Bois]

I like a Chapter of Chatelaines. Many many stories, past & present.

[@kindlydude]

"Champagne of Chatelains" takes the cake! Not only is Champagne a French word, it is also a region of France! It also shares the first three letters & therefore is an alliteration!

[@kathyevans2968]

What a lucky baby having you as his family! Isabella’s gift is one to be forever treasured. My son did a science degree & would love that trip to the space centre! What a trip!

[@denisemusicnut]

My sister surprised me with a trip to Kennedy Space Center years ago. I was in nerd heaven! I hope the nerds in your family enjoyed it as much as I did!

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, we did!! As it happens, we are all BIG NERDS. 😂😁🏰💖

[@joanchaffinbawcom5722]

My vote for a gathering of chatalains is Une Histoire des Chatalains. Because that's what all of you are doing. You are living your everyday lives in your homes with appreciation of history, and bravely adding your own touches. That's what everyone did who lived in them.

[@ChateauLove]

How lovely! I’m definitely going to share this one with the others. 🥰🏰💖

[@chrissih4046]

Isabella’s gorgeous ‘coat of many colours’ blanket is SOOOO cool! Baby will have that forever! Love this update, Vivienne & Simon xxx

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you! I’ll pass your lovely comment on to her. 🥰🏰💖

[@rayn8740]

Oh, Vivienne, I love the Wedgwood cuff links. Unfortunately, I rarely have occasion to wear them anymore and I don't think I can fit into my tux either. I have scores of fabulous ties that just sit in my closet now waiting for a turn on the catwalk. I'm so glad you met Stuart and Patrick. I thoroughly enjoy their vlog. For me personally, I find Patrick particularly endearing. We seem to have a lot in common. No offense to Stuart, I'm an extrovert like Patrick. I'm the chatty one at a party, I can talk to just about anyone. It drives my sister crazy. I was just in Orlando 2 weeks ago. I love that there are palm trees everywhere. We have palms here in north Texas, but nothing like FL.🌴 Congratulations on the new addition to the family.🥂🍾 Simon, how close is the flooding to your Château? Vivienne, et al, have a safe return trip home. ❤ from TX!

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, it was so lovely meeting Stuart and Patrick! Happily the flooding is not close to our house, but all over the region. 🏰💖

[@angelaevans1636]

Congratulations on the new member of your family and welcome back home to the USA! So wonderful to see the Chatelaines together " A Chateau of Chatelaines!" Love your jewelry...Sending love from New York!

[@rickyspeople]

Today it should be a constellation of chatelaines!! So apropos, non? 🥰 tucking in now. The baby love feels almost infectious

[@ChateauLove]

I love that!!!

[@mamazeno1672]

[@ginnyrabbitt-jenkins535]

What a blessed addition to your family. Congratulations. Homegoods store are fun to walk thru. Loved the turtle very much like the turtle you saw with Stefanie and Philip. I love it. It is interesting how our shopping is diffrent than in France. I would have picked up the elephant pillow. Could you not buy a suitcase to stuff with items and bring home the bowl could go into? The Kennedy Space center was timely with Eclipse happening State side. Cheers

[@holywatermama]

I LOVE Home Goods!

[@GeorgeMoore-eh1kr]

Hi

[@marysaracini-ok4md]

Hello, Vivienne, I loved watching you sketch the room for your client. Would you paint one of those and make prints? It would be so fun to have it framed and hang on my own wall!!! Thanks, Mary

[@ChateauLove]

Goodness, i’ll happily do something much nicer! Thank you! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🏰💖🏰💖

[@peterwhite9261]

Congratulations to the happy couple and to you all for the new addition to your family. Very interesting vlog. I hope the flooding resolves soon.❤

[@ChateauLove]

💖💖💖

[@barbaramurray4191]

Welcome to the world, little one🍀 The space perspective was very pertinent - 🤞🏻 Fabulous to see you so well and energetic. I hope better weather comes to Europe soon 😊

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Barbara! 🏰🥰💖

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Hi Vivienne and Simon, thanks again! The Eiffel Tower with the sunset was gorgeous! What a joyous occasion to visit Miami! Congratulations!!! So sorry about all of the rain and overflowing of the river in your area in France.

[@ChateauLove]

Hi Maryann! Yes, the flooding is something awful. Big hugs! 🥰🏰💖

[@BarbaraChapmanFrenchEthereal]

Congratulations on your new nephew!!! Such a cutie!... Paris looks stunning from the Tuleries back towards the Eiffel Tower... Crazy how much rain you've had in France... Rivaling California this year, lol! Sorry that the river has overflowed. Isn't Home Goods fun?! I have to put blinders on when I go in, but I have found wonderful angel statues, several pots for plants, snack goodies, cute decor (of course!). Happy shopping!... I'm glad you went to NASA while in Florida! From one set of nerds to another, this visit was great!!! My husband and I went to Orlando to Epcot Center and to the Kennedy Space Center on our honeymoon 37 years ago. Charles also has been up to where they would work on the Space Shuttles out in the high desert of Southern California. Was a long time ago. :) I LOVE hearing all the interesting things Steve Smith shared about how to sleep in space, etc. You just never think of those things being here on Earth! Fascinating!!! Thanks so much for such a rich vlog! Hugs, Barb 💞

[@ChateauLove]

You are most welcome, Barb! Big hugs right back to you. 🥰🏰💖

[@ReigningVintage]

From one girl to another, thank you. With this video you validated my shopping habit in Home Goods!! You always have beautiful, enjoyable content in your videos.

[@ChateauLove]

Such a pleasure! 😁🏰💖

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

Beautiful, Effeil Tower at sunset, thank you! ❤ Congratulations on your nephew ❤ A water tower Simon! Nice feature; is it functional? We went to the Kennedy Space Station after a cruise to kill time: fascinating place. That's is so interesting to hear his account of what life is like in space. Wow!

[@ChateauLove]

Hi Mary Jane, yes, the water tower is functional though now just for the gardens. We loved hearing astronaut Steve talk. Wish I could have included the whole thing! 🥰🏰💖

[@Tea-nOpals]

Its not very often that my choice is the top one, I chose chatter because, well, when you guys get together, there really is no better description. " The 2 happiest little nerds in the world" ❤ Congratulations to your brother and sister in law on the newest family member.

[@wendyrose8430]

Lovely video as always. I loved the NASA space center, with my son we visited while he was studying in Tampa, and doing a tour of Florida. We had heard there was to be a satellite launch while visiting. So we got up at 6am the next day and saw the launch from the outskirts . It was an amazing memory it was unplanned but will always cherish that holiday.

[@ChateauLove]

What a lovely memory! 🥰🏰💖

[@Ely921]

Bella noticia. Tanti Auguri❤

[@ChateauLove]

Grazie mille! 🥰🏰💖

[@tzok09]

You could make purchases and then go to a shop that packages and ships your items back to France.

[@HollyH373]

Congrats to your brother and sister in law on the baby! The monkey lamp look 100x better in gold. He doesn't have a toothache he is just a monkey with a finger in his month...lol. I bought this lamp at Christmas and giggled for days.

[@beautyallaroundme724]

Congratulations! It looked like a fun time. How about a 'family of chateaulans?'

[@lynnbfoster]

I love Home Goods too, but Vivienne the best sheets by far are Belgian linen ones from Pottery Barn. Maybe there’s a pottery barn outlet near Home Goods in the states.

[@GeorgeMoore-eh1kr]

Hi Lynn🌹🌹 How are you doing?

[@sandraford4235]

I know Winter Park it’s about 45mins from where I live

[@kellylarson3020]

Can you buy the items and then have them mailed/ shipped home to France? Have you ever tried bamboo sheets? They are better than the highest-count cotton sheets IMO. So luxurious. It's so nice to see you with all of your family again. Too bad about all the rain and the flooding that is happening in your area.

[@ChateauLove]

I’ve never tried bamboo sheets! Thank you for the suggestion. 🥰🏰💖

[@carolweaver3269]

Welcome to the sweetest little nephew! Nothing like the opportunity to be with family! Jack and Isabelle were taking it all in, with the little cousin in Isabelle's arms! Loved the sunset and Eiffel tower.! So beautiful! France does seem like a wonderful place to live! Your dad looks so much like you and Asheley which I guess would make sense! lol He and your step mom, must be so very happy together, as he looks like he truly is, with his large smile when having picture taken with you both! He is enjoying his life! Love your choice of jewelry that you place on the web to sell. This vlog sure is loaded with so much and it is very exciting, even this visit to the Space Center! Vivienne you and Simon give so much of yourselves, and we do appreciate you sharing it with us ! Thank you!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Carol. You really are so kind! 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖🏰💖

[@usafloridaNP]

I live in Florida, DeLand

[@sandraclive761]

Love your videos and being able to go with you to all these fascinating places. Hoping to return to France in the summer of 2025 and see places for myself. Maybe even encounter a chatter of chatelaines!

[@ChateauLove]

Yes! I hope we see you in person. 🥰🏰💖

[@lesleywilliams323]

I’m a couple of miles from NASA…. Glad you had fun….. was there a launch?… we have quite a few these days

[@ChateauLove]

Sadly we didn’t get to see a launch. My friend tells me that they’re nearly constant now! 🏰💖

So lovely… a loveliness! Thank you! 🥰🏰💖
