Amen to that!

Very TRUE!

A great quote to live by, "Let's face the music and dance!" 💖

[@rayn8740]

I've been watching Château Diaries for several years now. It's changed over time, but it's still entertaining and informing. It was during Château DIY when I was first introduced to Stephanie Jarvis and Château de Lalande. I'm eternally grateful to them for the countless hours of enjoyment I've received during a very difficult time and beyond. Isabelle and Percy, Nattie and Amaury, Annalise and Daniel Preston, Marie, Maria, Selmar, David, Philip, the Ians, Michael Petherick, Michael Potts, the Illusive Nick, Marie and Antoine, Kat and Hannie, Kirsty, Umbaline, Chantel and Steve, have all allowed us into their homes and their lives. Stephanie has been especially generous, lending her secrets to other would-be or current Châtelains. She's really turned lemons into lemonade with a plucky smile on her face the entire time. Bravo, Stephanie!👏

[@seethevolcane]

Stephanie's YT channel is successful because of her powerhouse "star" personality.

[@romainvicta3076]

Truly is true - I can see no other way it could be without her selling her self . The channel really does run on her positive energy and smile

[@luminyam6145]

Stephanie is truly an incredible person.

[@seethevolcane]

I would add that her male counterpart is the charming and glowing Michael Petherick of "Doing It Ourselves," though he has been stuck in Spain for over a month now. Also, their shows together are superior entertainment.

[@luminyam6145]

@@seethevolcane That is true, the two of them are just magical.

[@aleta5873]

And Stephanie is such a natural in everything she does...painting , sewing, designing, singing, being a friend to so many.

[@georgiaa8896]

Stephanie is so inclusive, her ability to acknowledge all that assist renovations, fellow creatives, specialist, friends, patreons and the Chateau Diaries KZbin supporters is a testament to positive community engagement and Stephanie's infectious enthusiasm. Well done.🌟

[@lisaakinlabi]

I adore Stephanie and her vision for her chateau. Following her on The Chateau Diaries has been a blessing to me at a time when I need something and someone joyful to follow.

[@maryschlotter108]

I have followed Stephanie from the beginning. Her lovely personality and her enthusiasm is what makes her channel about her beautiful Chateau so exceptional. Wonderful interview.

[@frenchheritagesociety1634]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@taylorgold543]

What a wonderful interview! Plus we got to see the Elusive Nick!

[@Frenchflair54]

I am one of Stephanie’s patreon who joined her happy supporters in the last few months. I am French, but live in Australia. For me it’s like helping to save one of my birth country chateaux, helas too many are left to go to ruin for the lack of people brave enough and passionate enough people like Stephanie. I say bravo, well done, and I enjoy every video.

[@carmenflores4795]

Thank you for supporting Stephanie's quest. You are a generous lovely lady, best wishes from México

[@ccoeurjoli]

Merci de votre soutien d’Australie 😊 ! C’est cool !👍🏻

[@paigepooler9036]

She is such a natural!! I've been addicted to Chateau Diaries since I discovered it about a year ago. It's no lie that she and everyone at LaLand really did bring happiness to so many in an otherwise, trying year. I just love how enthusiastic, energized and unabashedly joyous she is - it's a reminder for us all to go for those things that light our passion! Thanks for this fun interview!

I'm so happy to have found this interview with Stephanie at La Lande. Her ability to recall all these dates and facts is amazing and we have found her to have endless talents including kindness to all. I hope Stefanie's blessings continue for many years! ❤️

[@traceyyeoman8391]

Stephanie is wonderful, such a huge inspiration and has given life culture, and offered the globe a life worth living, thank you Stephanie its better than any television show or dreadful reality rubbish that the mainstream media offer , hats off to you , and the people who have connected with you and all those places, you visit, its added a special timber to mine, applepie , cakes panelling , chickens lake , its just so magical enchanting , gushing fan thanks.

[@maria3845]

Love her and the laland crew

[@vickycaldwell9303]

Thank goodness that Stephanie found a way to carry on the renovation of this magnificent place, she has great patience and great insight into what needs to be done here. It will be finished someday and I cant wait to see the completed Castle, the lake, the new swimming pool. every day's work brings her closer to the place she will be someday. It is a work in progress. Not only is she finishing her family home, but she is also helping others too. What a blessing she has been to so many people. Thanks for all the days you made my days.

[@garyc5483]

Stephanie certainly comes over much better that the programs other presenters. She has such a great presence.

[@ehpeachylove]

I just love Stephanie and all the people at LaLande. She brings love and laughter to everyone that has the privilege like I did by finding her channel by accident. Watching all of them has brightened my lightest and darkest days. I love all the beautiful changes coming to this beautiful Château.

[@lazydaisy3765]

What I love most about Stephanie is that she is absolutely a 100 % genuine person. Nothing fake abut her. One of my best friends texted me the link to her very first vlogs. It was all about the advent calendar and it just grew from there with the delightful Michael Petherick and his channel of Doing It Ourselves. I honestly think that I wouldn't have made it through lock down without her. And Michael restoring his cottage and all of the lovely people that are blessed to be there with her and each other. Even with things opening up especially here in Austin, Texas, I feel like my day is incomplete without Stephanie, Michael and Dan. Its my chill pill even if I've already seen the latest videos. Better than anything on cable TV or otherwise.

[@MsScuppers]

Stephanie is a wonderful ambassador for valuing heritage and restoration and also providing joy and optimism in a world that is struggling in so many ways. I have been a staunch supporter of Stephanie and her dreams for a long time and am thrilled to see her sharing her enthusiasm with even more people in the world. Thank you so much to the French Heritage Society for highlighting Stephanie and her wonderful spirit.

I always watch chateau diaries of Stephanie and I realized that I already memorized the whole intro hahaha LOL

[@trishradloff8817]

Stephanie is incredibly dynamic! She brings the Chateau to life. What a terrific interview. Job well done.

[@leeamm1]

Excellent interview! Stephanie has such a wonderful gift of explaining everything from the history to the day to day happenings at Chateau Lalande. I’m surprised a network, museum or group has not snatched her up as a spokesperson for an historical or other such entity. She’s a natural!

[@gloria-146]

I agree, she is a treasure.

[@cwatson1975]

Stephanie Jarvis is bursting with joy and charisma. I look forward to her program more than anything else I watch or listen to. Her personality, beauty and especially her intelligence draws us. When she is interviewed she is always eloquent, her style, and command of the English language carries us along on her journey with such pleasure.

[@marlenebos6140]

It also is worth mentioning that Stephanie Jarvis is well read and her interest in and knowledge of the arts and history is phenomenal and she very generous shares her knowledge. Stephanie regularly takes viewers along on her visits to interesting places like other chateaux and museums. Also fabric and china factories which are of fame and have a longstanding tradition have been featured in her videos. The variety in her videos makes her KZbin channel so appealing and as a result has attracted a broad spectrum of people; they all find something to their liking. On top of that, Stephanie narrates her videos so well and the joy she finds in beauty comes across vividly.

[@stknmggs1788]

Stephanie amazes me with her ability to retain and communicate so many facts and in such engaging ways. She’s a delightful person and truly so intelligent. I have learned so much about France and have a new yearning to go there when things open up. Thanks for this interview.

[@tinathene]

Content Creation Bed & Breakfast, an apt name for a big ongoing project and long term vision. Stephanie’s self-taught sewing of the curtains is a most impressive character building part of the backstory. Her artistic excellence as an editor and heart-centered politesse as a presenter is extra-ordinary, all grounded by the realities of plumbing, crumbling, mice and over ambitious water police. The collective experience and success is an inspiration to us all. What a “reality show” can be. I’m glad to learn of the French Heritage Society’s existence and mission. Bravo and Brava to you all for your efforts, scholarships and strategic mission. An important alliance for your own growing audience!!!

[@rytazmuro767]

Tina,in your comment you have captured the essence of Stephanie and Lalande and I'm so struck by your phrase -" heart-centered politesse"! What a beautiful expression. You have a wonderful way with words. The English language teacher in me applauds you!
