CHATEAU HOPPING AND ANTIQUING!

[@bogusienombre355]

Philip has the look of a 17th century Dutch painter or English nobleman. So cool.

[@42apprentice]

Shaun’s your man for retinning

[@susanwoodward7485]

A fun outing - LOVE these trips to other chateaus. A video compilation at some point would be great advertising material for folks trying to select a chateau vacation or wedding venue. The toile bed set is magnifique! Welcome back Kat!

[@lollygirl49]

I don’t know what it is about you vlog (I do really) but out of all the vlogs I watch yours goes so fast and I want to keep watching more. Your editing, what you are filming, the people it’s all magical. It really is interesting and wonderful.

[@ericwilliams7949]

Chateau De Brives is an absolute work of art! The circular entry hall, staircase and tile floor begin the beautiful adventure into a perfectly lovely edifice!

[@lolascruz]

Marie wears 30 so well. She truly becomes more and more beautiful every single day. Philip's hair looks stunning. It brightens his face so much and is perfect for summer weather.

[@secnew2852]

I love Philip's hair. It looks so healthy and it looks like he has a lot of hair! 😍

[@chrismaraccini8108]

I do like it long a bit more.

[@Jarfm]

I’d actually be interested in seeing him with a regular haircut. As well as Selmar.

[@kinou_clem__6366]

Same, honestly it looks great.

[@ktkt9982]

I agree with you Phillip's hair looks great!

[@sharong8511]

When people have sparse hair on the top of the head wearing it long accentuates the sparseness. Same thing happens when people use gel on top. Keep it short and keep it free of products.

[@yureituesday]

Epic 70s soundtrack while driving 👌

[@lancestricklin5271]

So nice seeing Johnny D. again! Stephanie is really blessed with a beautiful group of friends. Awesome antique fair!

[@alid4789]

Philip seems like such a wonderful friend. He is always so supportive and caring!

[@33piolin]

Love the music you have added - it’s so road-trip-happy😍

Wonderful and now I know how to display my French pottery.

[@lindamitman4538]

Thank goodness for Marie’s van. The settee is lovely!!

[@JoannaLouise200]

No time to get bored with your vlogs Stephanie! You have such a good eye ~ the antique toile de Jouey bed set/canopy is stunning, as is the pink upholstered sofa. They are perfect scale for a boudoir.

[@richenuff01]

I usually watch all the vlogs by the incredibly wonderful and awesome Stephanie on my Smart TV, so this is the first time that I've watched online and had the opportunity post a comment. These vlogs have been part of my everyday viewing ever since Escape To The Chateau DIY was available on the streaming app Peacock here in USA. Then to my big surprise, I discovered all the vlogs that have been posted on youtube and have been a loyal fan ever since. Looking back, I have no idea what I would be watching today if it weren't for the vlogs that Stephanie and her Lalande friends have created and posted. Could this is all be a result of Divine Intervention for those of us who have been separated from family during the lockdown in the past year, and regularly programed TV is full of repeats and uninteresting productions? I'm looking forward to future vlogs that give us all a glimpse of those beautiful villages and towns in France. So it's viva la France to Stephanie Jarvis and her friends, and BIG thanks and cyber hugs from America. Long live the queen of youtube!

[@sunrise1304]

Stephanie is one of a kind , such a precious soul!

As I enjoy the cold 🥶 Down Under you are all a beam of sunshine 🌞 Thankyou lovelies ❤️🦘❤️🦘❤️🥰🙏💋

[@texasthistle]

That floor and stairs are amazing

[@suellenmcgillick8177]

Phillip, hair always grows back. It’s fun to try new looks. You never know you come come to like it but if you don’t really like it, your bun is always fantastic.

[@SJFoss]

I thought Philip was looking at the beautiful painting on the wall, but it turned out he was looking at the mangy squirrel below it 😂 I have to say that pink sofa is gorgeous!!

[@antonkostrik]

Me too.. 💁🏼‍♂️😅🙈

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

Absolutely love the furniture!Marie ,your van has an incredible amount of room!The chateau was beautiful and eclectic. The friends were lovely and the food looked spectacular!Thank you for letting us live vicariously through the entertaining vlog.Thank you Stephanie!

[@lindar2245]

Having started watching the vlogs last summer, I remember when Kat, Philip, Davy, Mandy and others were brand new to the camera - and had the deer in the headlights look on their faces! So nice that they relaxed and became "regulars" over time.

[@marjoriesterling8137]

It good to see Erin and JB

[@MLPH09]

It’s so lovely to see people getting on so well from château and all that different programs really is nice I hope you had a lovely time

[@taitweigel64]

Looks like your new boudoir may be coming together, Stephanie. Your hostess is lovely as is their gorgeous chateau. This has been a fabulous get away.

[@candicechristian7344]

Agree , as all the beautiful people together made this a very special occasion..

[@janewolfe9137]

Love seeing the gathering of familiar faces. Thank you for taking us along.💐

[@Meowvalous1]

We need more Kat!!!

[@CommonGroundGardens]

I could happily watch you at the antique and thrift shops every week! So jealous 😁

[@blondebrit4821]

Great hair cut Annalise:) so wonderful to see kat back and familiar faces at lalonde. When is Isabelle and Percy due back? Miss them so much love Isabelle’s wicked sense of humour xxx🇨🇦😘💗

[@dig3671]

I strongly recommend you have a full archaeological survey, to ascertain the positions of the curtain walls and towers; also to locate the missing gatehouse and possibly the site of the drawbridge. That is likely to be at the inner end of the present bridge, which is presumably on the site of the ancient one. Geophysical surveys, including ground-penetrating radar, should locate the missing walls and, if it has not been destroyed, the site of the drawbridge pit. Please also have the early roofs of the chateau dated by dendrochronology - I suspect the older part belongs to the second half of the 15th century, rather than the 16th. Machicolated towers like yours are commonly 15th century. Your vlog is by far the best in the chateau world. Warwick Rodwell, Norfolk

[@SandraWarmbreath]

Yes, especially because Stephanie seems so keen on one day restoring them, a sentiment I can't help but agree. Imagine Chateau de Lalande as a full compound with enclosing protective towers, walls & moat system with a drawbridge! More than anyone could have envisioned on first seeing the Chateau 15 years while house hunting, or even a year ago!

[@barbibutton9619]

Won't that be incredibly expensive when there's so many areas that need renovated, insulated repaired etc?

[@aatikahcarmenhappy3494]

That would be beneficial even if its just for knowledge sake and a correct sketch could be done just for a historical book of past and present.

[@SandraWarmbreath]

@@barbibutton9619 yes of course expensive and far in the future after the rest of the Chateau has been restored, insulated, and decorated maybe season 12 of Chateau Diaries! Don't forget the potential mill restoration as well! In the meantime the gardens could be designed around this future to compliment eventual restorations and avoid tearing up installed garden. It will depend on our own and future viewers interests being maintained over the years, but each tower could accommodate maybe 2 apartments or more single rooms. The Chateau has the potential of becoming a significant tourist destination & therefore economic draw to LaLande's corner of rural France. What are we if not dreamers and Stephanie is remarkable at putting reality to dreams.

[@susanduval1393]

Wonderfulness thanks for taking me with you! Cheers all

[@metropcs7560]

Thank you Stephanie!!! I am just enjoying this video!!! Life and everything in the art world, the food, friends, the table settings!!! OMG Lovely video thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@BordeauxLife]

What an amazing episode !!! So glad to see you all together at gorgeous Chateau de Brives ! The antiques fair finds were absolutely gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️👌 loved the squirrel 🐿🤣❤️

[@MsCanadianpie]

Love seeing Erin and JB on your blog. I follow them on Instagram

[@karleinegraham446]

Stephanie, we are the lucky ones when you take us on tour in this beautiful Chateau. It takes love and a fortune to acquire and furnish this gem. It also shows that you and your friends/associates paid good attention in history and art history classes!!

[@aleta5873]

It was my favorite of any Chateau I have ever seen...amazing.

[@ramonaduffey5016]

The stag would look fantastic at the wall edge for the lost tower. A stag's leap across the dry moat maybe.

[@-sstevens5444]

Just to be seeing friends in the same room, dining together, chattering over lunches.... Is the world becoming normal?💜💚💙💕

[@heidihalderman1118]

Marie’s new car is a boon for laLande! What wonderful purchases.

[@karenashworth5743]

Is it just me or would the missing tower be an ideal archaeological dig site? I can just imagine a bunch of archaeology students getting to grips with the site and making discoveries, as for the dry moat...

[@jennymay4720]

What about asking the Time Team?

[@karenashworth5743]

@@jennymay4720 they only do 3 day digs, think it needs abit linger of an investigation than that , might just be a problem with travelling as well at the moment !

[@lisakilmer2667]

Yes - Chateau de Rosieres is doing that (check out their Chronicles of Rosieres on YT) - such a nice opportunity for students.
