Chateau CHENONCEAU -- Tour the Ultimate FAIRYTALE CASTLE -- Loire Valley, France

[@Dr.med.GeorgeGrant]

Vivian and Simon on the grandest tour. Their motto for this journey is clearly just Amour ! Chenonceau as backdrop serves their purpose well. The story of this castle is interesting to tell. They wander in the footsteps of sovereign queens of old. Whose lives meant often hardship, but sparkles now like gold. Though Vivian had no wooing, no courtier on his knees. Simon clearly conquers her heart with certain ease. 👩🏼‍❤️‍👨🏻

[@ChateauLove]

Well it’s official… you have made my day! Thank you!!! Grinning from ear to ear and can’t wait to show Simon! Merci beaucoup pour la poésie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🏰🏰🏰🏰💖💖

I look forward to your video's because I look forward to you and Simon. Handsome English Gentleman and his gorgeous loving wife. You are my favorite Chateau couple. You respect each other and the love shines through. I enjoyed the Chateau tour. TY

[@ChateauLove]

Oh, thank you Virginia! You are too kind. 🏰💖

[@veronicarunge2241]

Made my Sunday - better than chocolate eggs! At the age of 14 I first read about the fascinating Diane de Poitiers - beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing from Australia.

[@taitweigel64]

I enjoy your vlogs for many reasons. You and Simon get a lot done and always with your own hard work and lovely style. You meet with other chateau owners, have adventures and shop together. Most of all you are a charming couple.

[@mercedesbeard6974]

I agree. What a great couple😊

[@ChateauLove]

As always, you are so very kind! 🥰🏰💖

[@ginny736]

I cannot thank you enough for taking us on this tour this morning! I would dearly love to visit the Loire Valley, but this will definitely do for now. Magnificent! ♥️

[@ChateauLove]

It is my pleasure and we are so happy you are joining us. I will definitely check out your channel! Sharing your story with others will bring you great joy and healing (I speak from experience). xxx🏰💖

Hi Vivienne and Simon, "wow" no words, this place was so stunning, from the architecture to the garden, and the parks, just magnificent. What a beautiful day out for two. Thank you so much for bringing us with you, it was lovely to get away. Love from N.Y.

[@denisefazio6708]

It's like the pigeons knew you were filming "Chateau Love" This was beautiful. Thank you.

[@ChateauLove]

I thought so too! They were adorable! 🥰🏰💖

[@carolweaver3269]

Hope you do not mind my saying this, but one thing I love most about both of you is that you are so very down to earth and "real" that means so much to me. You could be different am sure, and have a right to be that way, but you are not that type of people, I can see this. I truly love this so much! I noticed it with your sister and your daughter Dr Isabella. Thank you for being who you truly are, loving people! Could not help but see this in you, and it just does mean so much to come and enjoy the time with you on your vlogs. This just is something in people, a trait I like the most. It shines through! (That would be such fun if you could ever have such a chance to buy this Chateau too, and own it, what fun this would be, * but way to much work most likely as it is an undertaken, you would need help*) I realize under the circumstances it is not for sale and probably never would be, but that would be so very exciting in many ways though if it were a possibility! But guess ne Chateau at a time is probably enough for anyone? lol But the two of you know how to make things happen it does happen and can. We do need to always believe in miracles they say, correct, as that is how things do happen to many people by the faith they carry.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Carol, for your lovely and incredibly kind message. You have made my day. 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖

[@barbaragrace1992]

I just love the way the two of you look at each other when you speak to each other. That is an awesome love. Thank you for the chateau. It is beautiful. 😍😍

There’s now another destination on my bucket list of French places to visit! It was so beautifully presented by you both! I had a laugh when Simon couldn’t resist touching all the copper in the kitchen! Thanks for showing this stunning & romantic chateau. Happy Easter!

[@ChateauLove]

Happy Easter, Kathy! 🥰🏰💖

[@danamoss67]

I almost didn't want to watch because my husband and I were supposed to be on our trip there and our itinerary included Chenonceau but due to the strikes & protests we postponed it indefinitely. 😢 I'm really glad I watched it though and I hope to get there soon! 😊 Cheers to the French people. I'm not upset they are speaking out...just disappointed we have to wait.

[@ChateauLove]

Hi Dana, I do understand your concern for travel, but so please reassure your husband that it’s actually very safe here, despite what the news makes it look like, and even more so outside of Paris. I do hope you can make it over soon! Meanwhile, we are very happy you are joining us! 🥰🏰💖

[@danamoss67]

@Chateau Love We booked just a few days ago for travel next month! I'm so excited!! We were worried we wouldn't be able to get around if transportation was on strike but we'll take our chances and if we get stuck in Paris, well how bad can that be?! 😉

[@helendorning4450]

LOVE LOVE LOVE! CHENONCEAU is one of my favorite LOIRE Chateaux. The scale, incredible architecture, the history and amazing gardens, which even just awakening to Spring are magnificent, there is beauty for all the senses. Even the pigeons on the windowsill were not immune to the magic of Chenonceau. Thank you Vivienne and Simon for being part of my morning coffee with this magnificent Chateau tour! A bientot!

[@christineh5790]

I can’t believe my luck! Finding myself unable to go to sleep despite the late hour (or should I say very early morning over here) I reached for my ipad to peruse until my eyes eventually got heavy.😅 And what an exciting surprise I got seeing your notification upon opening Vivienne. You and Simon took us on a delightful tour of this stunning Chateau and grounds as only you can do. It was gorgeous both inside and out, thank you for sharing. I did love how the stables were repurposed as cafe seating too, because I feel so sad when these horse boxes (?) get taken out from some of the Chateaus that have old stables. I wish you all a very happy Easter full of blessings. 🙏🏻✝️🐣🐰🏰❤️

[@christineh5790]

... I just remembered ! - the ‘horse boxes’ were called ‘stalls’! 🤔😂🤣

[@lavonnemountain6133]

DIVINE, every inch. I remember being there and wondering if I could possibly remember how glorious the countryside, Chateau, moat, ceilings, parterre gardens, tapestries are. Thanks for a lovely vlog, you do them exquisitely. I am in awe of the French with their creativity in flower arranging. I took so many photos!

[@Kwilt2collect]

Lovely visit. It sent me off on the Google rabbit hole of Catherine de Medici et al.

[@joyabell4420]

This brings back memories of being with my dear Father in law, who took us there and explained all the History as he was very knowledgeable on French history. We sat in the gardens (in the summer) while he told us all about the mistress and the Queens.

[@ChateauLove]

What a lovely memory! Thank you for sharing this, Joy. Big hugs! 🥰🏰💖

[@dansetzer1454]

Cyd in the USA. I had to laugh when you told your husband to "stop touching things" :-) I had been telling him that all through the chateau. I know his enthusiasm got the best of him. When we visited this chateau there were attendants everywhere who reminded visitors "please do not touch" in several languages. Thank you so much for this reminder of our day at Chateau Chenonceau.

[@ChateauLove]

😂😂So happy you were able to join us! Simon forgets that not all chateaux belong to our mates and he can’t just make himself comfortable! 😁😁🏰💖

[@jodiehebb9984]

What a beautiful chateau. It seems to me that the charm of this place is it's simplicity. The rooms appear minimalistic with what you need but not lots of overwhelming textiles or colours that fight for your attention. Lots of repetitive elements both inside and in the garden. Absolutely gorgeous. Thankyou for showing us this chateau . ❤ from NZ.

Hi Vivian & Simon, Loved the tour of Chateau CHENONCEAU. What Simon called he "Suggestion Box" is most likely for salt, an expensive item even for royalty back then. The gardens must be wonderful to see during summer in all their splendor. Thank you for sharing. Mark & Scott

[@stephn4085]

I visited in 2006 and loved it. Great to see it again.

[@yeli-he3qx]

Simon, the big wooden box in the kitchen was for keeping the salt. Salt was very expensive and precious at the time and was heavily taxed by the royal tax officers. Salt was used to preserve meat, hence its importance. There were smugglers and traffic for salt along centuries :)

Thank you for solving this mystery!! 🥰🏰💖
