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!

So sorry to hear about Lancelot, Stephanie and Philip's pup. May he rest in peace roaming freely the wooded paths of heaven.

[@jodrakeley8568]

Woke up to hear this today. So heartbreaking. He really did seem such a character and was so very loved. Heartbreaking xx

Yes, we are devastated. He was our puppy’s best buddy, and such a sweet little soul.

[@suzigemini]

I was very sad and broken hearted for Stephanie and Phillip...what you wrote is Beautiful and touching. I definitely believe his Spirit is with them always. I have even heard some dogs choose to reincarnate with their original Human Parents. I hope so. Much love to them and prayers.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank you Vivienne for being our mentor at Lalande, we didn't have time to speak much as it was more a marathon than a patreon day as I found out. Some (extremely) late people we had to wait for, myself having a medical condition (I didn't mention it, that's the British side of me) but I had to sit wherever I could and you kept on coming fetch me to keep your group going!! Don't worry I made it (and I'm still alive and kicking) and I'm very happy to see you roaming the Paris streets, where I was born and bred. A bientôt peut-être?

As I've said before, I heave a sigh every time I hear La Vie en Rose. The time just flies by. I'm sure you've heard the devastating news about Lancelot. I believe that Lancelot was Stephanie's first dog. Thus, he was her first dog loss. I know that you and Simon experienced a similar loss not too long ago. I trust that she will be able to lean on you for emotional support as needed. Thank you for yet another entertaining episode. I'm anxious for the next. ❤ from TX!

I'm glad the chateau community is such a close-knit one, it must be a huge help during difficult times, as with the family at Lalande right now. On a lighter note, I loved the deco enameled stork locket, it would look great on either a man or a woman, and thankfully gender distinctions in terms of color and wardrobe are not so rigid today. As a guy who loves 18th century men's clothing (I have your chatelain prints in my bathroom) I love beautiful fabrics and trims. Thanks for an invigorating vicarious shopping spree!

Vivian I’m curious as to how to use the stick pins. It seems a lot of money for not much show. Your broaches are beautiful. Paris really is a delight😍 Thank you.

[@ChateauLove]

Great question! Stick pins became very popular in the early 1800s as one of the few types of jewelry that men still wore after the highly-ornamented and bejewelled 1700s. They were used to hold a cravat or a cape in place, and -of course- were status symbols. By the mid-late 1800s until WWI, they were also used by women to fasten a scarf or collar or placed in a hat, as this was the era before zippers and buttons became the norm. Now they are highly collectible for men and women who still enjoy a bit of discreet yet elegant jewelry (worn as a brooch or hairpin or on a tie or scarf), and also they are coveted by antique jewellers to convert into rings and pendants as they are usually very old, high quality and 18k gold. 🏰💖

What initially gave you the idea of selling antique jewellery and did you think that it would be sooo successful ?

[@ChateauLove]

Great question! I really wanted to find a way to continue vlogging without going the Patreon route as I have lots of other time commitments. It was my dream to have a website, but I wanted to offer truly beautiful items that reflected what we love about European beauty, art and history. For millennia, jewelry has been a reflection of symbolism, love, craftsmanship, remembrance and adornment, so it has always fascinated me. I could think of nothing more wonderful to offer to our lovely chateau community, but it has surprised no one more than me how many kindred spirits there are out there! Each piece is carefully sourced, researched, cleaned, tested, photographed, uploaded, sold and packaged by me myself with a lot of love! 🏰💖

I agree! It was so beautiful but -oh my- what an investment! I do have some antique earrings coming up soon…from Georgian to Art Deco, including some very interesting micro mosaic Victorian Grand Tour earrings.
