EPISODE 28: We are getting ready for Easter at our little château, and we have some fancy plans. Isabella is home and I want to try out some new recipes. Will they be tasty and tasteful, or a hideous mess? Will Simon choke or lose a tooth? A beloved statue is in pieces. We have a first-time attempt at decoupaging Easter eggs. Is this something the master of the house will enjoy? Easter decorations are whimsical and jolly. The men try to impress with their fire-pit roasting/fishing skills. Astronomy or Astrology? And, as always, a good bit of cheesy cheesiness. Happy Easter, everyone!! We love you! xxx

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! 20 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 18 years, 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!
