You have the most beautiful children….so well behaved too.

[@mannyortiz4814]

I’m so jealous and envious of you both. I was born into a poor family of 16. Thus far I have not had the pleasure of living in a chateau. Now I’m 74 and hoping when I go to heaven my savior will allow me to live in his mansion. How lucky you are. I’m happy for you both.🕊🕊😇😇👍👍❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🌹🌹🙏🙏🥂🥂🍾🍾

[@BordeauxLife]

Thank you for your kind words. xx

[@kellyhawes8901]

Edd, go get that desk for Anna then hide it away for a special present. These things are the most romantic gestures, and would come with a story of how you gifted such a special present that could be passed down to Charlotte or Charle’s wife one day. ( hope that worked Anna!!😉)

[@GenaF]

Charlotte? Their daughter is Emma.

[@romiehutson5230]

I love these vlogs. It makes me feel like I’m in France .

So many beautiful things, can't understand how someone is comfortable surrounding themselves with steel & glass. Pity those who are not passionate about their furnishings , history & antiques!

The Murano chandelier is similar to the one Stephanie Jarvis purchased for her “office”. Beautiful!

[@valeriejohnson5283]

That Murano chandelier looks almost like the one Stephanie just had delivered at La Lande! I love them because they are so whimsical. Hers was made with beautiful flowers.😍I would guess $3500?🤷‍♀️Those antique drink set are gorgeous.

you had way more self restraint than Stephanie did! so amazing to see items never seen before, thanks for the tour

I love antique trips!!! What a beautiful place to window shop!!!! I'll be spending lots of imaginary money at this Antique Fair!!! I just bought the Murano chandelier for my imaginary chateau!!! The Napoleon 3 stall was great fun!!!!! I bought the tortoise shell notebook in my mind too!! I had a wonderful time "Window Shopping".Can't wait for our next trip! Love from Vermont

That Murano chandelier reminds me of the one that Stephanie recently put in her office at Chateau de Lalande.

[@BordeauxLife]

Yes we didn't realise Stephanie had just got one similar when we filmed the vlog , but it was so beautiful we had to keep it in!! xx

So many treasures! Anna it must have been so hard not to get anything!

Fabulous Antiques Edd. Loved the first Table. And the Chandeliers The Murano one was lovely, I couldn't stop myself from buying something. Loved the Garden pots. Looking Forward To Friday Xx 😘

[@sarahyates6055]

@@suzieq2958 I think a number of reasons, firstly I’m an empath and a real softie. Also I’m waiting for surgery a biopsy on a large lipoma in my abdomen. The Drs can’t say for definite if it’s cancerous or not. Although on the surface I feel calm about it all and I have faith in God and I know I’m in good hands with a very good surgeon and his team…. At the end of the day I’m only human!! X

[@sarahclarke5500]

I love the ebonized furniture with the gilt tracery. I had thought that the Napoleon III style was quite monumental but the black with the delicate gold is lovely.

[@trevortigger]

LOVE the Olive tree idea, let's see the project Ed!

[@carolehanrahan]

The Napoleon 3 booth was spectacular! I don't blame you for leaving because it is some sort of sweet torture to window shop when the window holds treasures.

[@BordeauxLife]

Carole you get it!!!! That stall is by far the best one every time... his antiques are exquisite. xx

[@lauriemiller2441]

It’s always nice just to look and dream where you could possibly put those antiques

[@BordeauxLife]

You are absolutely right it was just as good as buying them but now i want that desk hahahahahahah and a little drinks cabinet :) x x x maybe next time its back on x

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

How beautiful everything was! I'm so sorry you were not able to buy! I agree, when you are not able to buy the day is just not as fun for you! Next time you go I hope you have a full purse and the little desk is still there! Oh and the purse and notebook were amazing! I thought it funny that Charles sat in that chair so innocently! LOL! Can't wait for Friday!

[@BordeauxLife]

Rebecca I'm sure we will be in a better situation at the next fair. Yes it was funny when Charles sat in the chair!!!! xx

Good to know..love that Chandalier.. expensive

[@boessheila50]

Murano... 3000€

[@boessheila50]

WOW.. THE NAPOLIAN SHOP. IS OUTSTANDING!! VERY ELITE GIRGEOUS ITEMS. IMMACULATE BUT. BIG PRICES!! In Cdn $ things would cost 1.5 X in Euros

[@maryannelegzdins6187]

Thank you. !! INCREDIBLE !!! The antiques such as that we have to get a view of such beautiful works of art in a museum in the states... certainly not in an open air festival. My guess for the Murano chandelier is somewhere around $7500 since I felt they were pricing things on the high side. Love when you go to the fairs and brocantes.

[@dottykennedy3086]

10,000.00$ American

[@candydonnelly7543]

I love how you are teaching your Son the love of antiques! I was also taught at a young age, making memories and learning new things, a perfect combination ❤️🇫🇷❤️ Bravo 👏👏👏

[@GenaF]

I smiled so much at the way young Charles rolled his eyes upon being asked the names of his female school friend who is having a party. I really didn't think they started so early.

[@janineroberts4611]

Wow! So much exquisite antiques. First the rose behind Ed is beautiful second Annas ring is gorgeous! Love it!😍 I say this video is such a treat! My husband would love that food stand with lots of meat. 😁 More videos like this please and thank you so much for sharing this to us.😊

[@lauragraham1122]

I've been loving your Vlogs! Thank you. Looking at antiques outside like this reminds me of my Mom and I always going to 'flea markets' in nyc & philly area when I was growing up. Of course, we weren't looking at Napoleon era items. ;-)

[@shannonvans]

That was very enjoyable, I would never be able to spend those amounts of money on items like those (not that I have the house for them anyway) but, I love to look and learn about everything you saw.

[@georgiehopkins9303]

Hi Edd and Anna, awesome video that must have been torture to look at all the antiques and not buying them. Everything there was so beautiful I don’t know how you were able to restrain yourselves. Your children are so well behaved you are lucky to have such good children. I look forward to your next video on Friday I’m super excited, take care and stay safe. Loads of love and hugs from Canada! ❤️👍🥂.

Gorgeous pieces, thank you for sharing your day with us! 🙏🏼💕

[@barneygoddard6421]

Love the antiques shopping.

[@verasileikis17]

🇨🇦❤️ I love your strategy of exposing the kids to more antiques. They’ll certainly be well versed on the subject by the time they’re young adults. Being multilingual and living in that fantastic chateau gives them a unique perspective as well, so it’s going to be fun watching them grow up as they discover their own taste in all things. I agree that it’s a bit sad to find beautiful things and be unable to purchase them, but I know you’re going to enjoy them even more once you get them because you’ll have had time to anticipate them. Thank you as always for bringing us along.

The Antiquities are amazing, Charles is getting SO tall and your parents home is amazing!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

A cliffhanger!!!! Can’t wait for Friday. I don’t think I could have the restraint you both had at the antique mart!!! Wow, there are so many beautiful pieces there, I wouldn’t be able to decide. Anna, I think Ed should try to replicate the fig tree table since you didn’t try to buy anything!! By the way, your children were so well behaved. Have a good week. 💕

[@joseeallyn9950]

This is a year ago..but I am crying. To walk in the streets with your wife and children.....what a blessing. We emigrated from England to Texas a long while ago but although Texas is still OK there is the ever present violence. WE have a house in France, but I cannot persuade my darling elderly husband that we would be safer living in France. Every time we drive anywhere or go to the grocery store I wonder if we will return..... I have deleted some details I wrote, but the violence is getting to us. If only we could afford it we could move to our French house. Much love to you and your family , hoping to see you one day!

[@charliebrard5359]

Some amazing pieces, furniture, lamps, I was on this site years ago ( 2010 ) to watch “ Tour de France “ bike race, this site was used as a staging area for the racers. Bordeaux is a beautiful city, beautiful antique shops also in Tour. My cousin lives about 15 minutes from this square.
