Cadeaux at the Chateau: PEACOCKS AND JEWELS!

We make the most of the last warmth of the year to sit together outside and open stunning gifts. This week we receive extraordinary treats from distant corners of the world...
In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month.
I used to show the gifts as part of 'The Chateau Diaries' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Glad you enjoyed the mug. I made the graphic when all five Ian’s were alive. Then one had just died while I was making it. It was appropriate to give it a halo.

[@vickster4474]

so sweet, personal and perfect

[@harlonation254]

Oh Selmar...you are lovely. Your reaction to the Ian with the Halo just melts my heart. Such a kind soul you are.

[@27Spiritgirl]

I SO agree!

[@kit2130]

I've noticed Philippe is possibly the most thoughtful, most caregiving man I've ever seen. He fixed Stephanie's necklace the day he arrived, he gives her meals & just thinks of what she needs. Any woman would be utterly blessed to have Philippe's attention in their lives.

[@aurorad3522]

yes, anyone would be blessed to have him as a friend

[@katehobbs2008]

Or Mason or Michael Potts or Michael Petherick or Selmar or the cheese man.....Stephanie certainly knows some lovely men! 🇦🇺

[@debbiemollison9866]

Great eyes 👀

[@teresacarle294]

Phillip seems a very tender person. (Perhaps his primary love languages are Acts of Service & Gift Giving!?) He obviously has a high regard for Stephanie -- and is not embarrassed about showing his devotion. 🤔 Good for him. Like a confident person who is comfortable in their own skin. We need more ppl demonstrating 💙love in the world🌐, esp. without expectation of getting a reward or return of affection or favors. Although it is tricky not to become fond of someone who dotes on you. Even outrageous & hilarious 😻Kat herself secretly🍵 tried to treat her hostess (as evidenced in a few videos back), but she got "outed" for her kindness instead. Think our fair Stephanie simply endears devotion. Her gaze, enthusiasm & positive regard is like the 🌞sun on a ❄chilly❄ day. Even 🌻flowers naturally turn toward warmth for revitilization. It's predominantly why all these loyal 📲viewers are also drawn to her joy, humility & positivity. ☮💛🌼

[@mariapetras5835]

Teresa agreed 100%!!!

[@maryannefrench2785]

Stephanie is always so gracious. Appreciates all gifts equally, and shows such enthusiasm, no matter the gift.

[@MargaretHill65_]

I agree ❤️🙏🏻

[@MargaretHill65_]

And so well educated in so much . She treats everyone as if she has known them for years and just met . She is precious ❤️🙏🏻🤗🥰😊

[@janetthomas8244]

Selmar is just so sweet.

[@carolweaver3269]

Stephanie was so sweet when telling her mom how pretty she is and rubbing her hair back softly. Isabelle 'really is lovely' and she is right, but to see a daughter so nice to her mum is a special gift.

[@teresacarle294]

Yes, it is a soothing sight, esp. for someone who no longer has my beloved parents. Seeing darling 🌻Stephanie so loving & sweet toward her mummy. Isabel (under her sometimes prickly🌵nature) warms to that authentic heartfelt pampering, petting and affectionate attention. She clearly 🌹blossoms under the soft words and sincere praise. 🎉 It's pretty brilliant🎉. 🤔Reminds me of Vanessa Redgrave & her daughter Natasha Richardson. Both charismatic & dynamic ladies with overwhelmingly loving maternal instincts who are/were gifted with words of encouragement & demonstrations of physical affection. Most of the roles they have taken capitalized on that loving naturalness too. That sort of mother-daughter tenderness is a rarity in my book. Seen much more examples of so-called "tough" love. Also families where gentle teasing has long turned into sarcasm, belittling & scoring points. Unfortunately, families & relations can become a complex layer of hurt, pain, mistrust, competitiveness over all sorts of unresolved issues😭.

[@carolweaver3269]

@@teresacarle294 You are so right. Many never speak again or have anything to do with each other for the rest of their lives. It is just the opposite of what we learn back in kindergarten and in the bible over forgiveness and loving each other in spite of the differences one may have or the understandings that may go wrong. Even the opposite from the wedding vows one takes of always loving no matter if sick or poor or whatever it may be to stay in love Often a mother-daughter relationship can be the hardest once the daughter becomes a teenager. Of course in this situation, Isabelle was a psychiatric nurse as well as her husband and so they have helped their daughter and son as they were growing up to become maybe a little broader minded and to have more empathy. They have learned so much with them both abe to talk with them and help them through the years?

[@Vanman05]

ok....APPARENTLY..... I am a bit more stressed at the state of the world and maybe a bit overworked because when I saw the mug with the peacock family and the wee last Ian with the halo.... I had a bit of a teary moment that lasted far longer than I expected. What a thoughtful and lovely gift.

I had to wipe my eyes at the end when I saw Selmar's reaction to the mug. People around the world are so kind andd in this day and age we really need to be reminded of that fact. There are always so many beautiful but, more importantly, well thought out gifts. You are all such treasures at La Lande. I love you all.

Made the mistake of letting my son use it one incredibly cold winter... he has limb movement disorder. Didnt hold up well to his over use.. it was stunning! If anyone knw whr we can find one. I'm sure Stephanie wld like one to!

As a fellow Canadian I was very happy that Steve was there to provide guidance on the telescoping roasting sticks.

[@CharlieEire82]

Oh I needed that vlog today, thank you Stephanie, Mummy, Hanni, Nati, Philip and Stephen! I was starting to worry that I got my days of the week mixed up. Easily done in these times when the routine has been flipped on it's head. It was tough news today that we are now going back into level 5 lockdown here in Ireland 😫 I live alone and never really came out of lockdown since it started in March because of underlying health issues. Although it's hard, I fight away the negatives daily and focus on any positives I can find that day. I started doing crafts, something entirely new to me and I find it to be a great distraction. I also just went through a cancer scare but thank god my results came back benign last week. Having gone through that alone it really made me think about those less fortunate, facing battles and illness without the presence of family & friends. My heart goes out to them. One of the many things this pandemic has taught me is to take time to recognise, enjoy and appreciate EVERY positive. Now when I pay my rent, instead of moaning about paying bills I think how lucky I am to be able to pay them. I lost my job due to COVID but I'm grateful I do not have to put my health at risk at the moment as it was a job that could not be done from the safety of home and involved a lot of contact with the public. Now when I get a phonecall from a loved one I am present for every spoken word, thankful that while I may be physically alone I am surrounded by friends and family I can call on anytime etc. I hope this comment might help someone else find a sparkle in the darkness. In terms of pandemics, thank goodness NOTHING LASTS FOREVER. Take care all 😘🇮🇪

The Madonna Inn has rooms that fit different themes...When I was there in the 1980's I stayed in a beautiful French boudoir....lots of beautiful furniture, wall papers, and gold...especially in the bathroom. There were other themes as well....like the Safari room, and other strange themes. Each room was amazingly created and decorated. The dining area was divine....they had live musicians playing classical music (strings), and the food was incredible....there were little white lights on the white trees what were everywhere...they twinkled little little stars or fireflies.
