[@GrandTourofEurope]

This is the correct version! Sorry to those who saw the earlier version, I accidentally uploaded a previous version without all of the B-Roll. This one should show you all of the rooms ❤ - Philip

[@BriansJerseygarden]

I thought something was off 😂

[@anuhjarpe1812]

❤❤❤❤

[@crae3422]

No worries, Philip. With everything going on, things happen, and this "thing" was easily fixed. At least I hope it was an easy fix. Thank you for all that you do.

[@miriamtaylor7518]

Thanks Philip! MUCH BETTER! Shows us viewers how much talent it takes to compile your vlogs!! Thanks for taking note of our grumpy comments!

[@kevinjewell233]

Can Isabella do floors and windows????

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

Vivian is not only charming and knowledgeable, but she's so talented. What an artist! Her taste in decor is exquisite!

[@cindymaceda2999]

Her painting was reminiscent of Botticelli !

[@13FallenAngela]

Vivienne is just the most charming woman. I find myself smiling as she speaks. You have some marvelous friends Stephanie and Philip. Thanks to all for this video.

[@kindlydude]

You included everything except the fire and brimstone... or was that implied? Stephanie may be more fit for eternity than most. p.s. JOY is one of the prerequisites!! Which Stephanie has an abundance of! @@mindonthingsabove

[@teepeeX]

Vivian is a breath of fresh air and absolutely gorgeous, talented and kind. This is a beautiful Chateau filled with stunning art works, furniture and loved treasures, thankyou for sharing your home 😊

[@bhavens9149]

Also love the kitchen, but who wouldnt'? two dishwashers! yes!

[@rayn8740]

Vivienne, the needlepoint rug is gorgeous. You are creating the beautiful home imaginable. I love it.

[@CathyMiller0711]

Vivienne is so incredible talented. Those hand painted bird plates are spectacular. Beautiful chateau. thanks for the tour and will look forward to more on Chateau Love.

[@catherineevanoffour12]

I feel like I received a bonus today!

[@hsimpson6581]

That buffet in the dining room is jaw-dropping it’s beautiful I’m not sure if I would paint it or change it. But I know With Vivians exquisite taste it will be beautiful

[@300books]

I am in awe of Vivienne's incredible talent. She creates such beauty throughout her home. Thank you Stephanie for another wonderful video.

[@ralphjones9903]

Beautiful Chatueau 😍

[@oksanaklein4867]

Vivian is so talented, I love her paintings and everything she created. Such a beautiful lady inside and out.

[@katehobbs2008]

Those plates are an eye-opener. I knew you painted, but these are extraordinary. 🇦🇺

[@mariamaru9972]

And now we can understand what a precious work editing a video is!

[@denisefazio6708]

Like I said before the most beautiful chateau

[@svg7335]

I wonder if the present owners of Vivienne's old chateau would allow her to give a tour of what they did there!!! I would LOVE to see that! ❤ I loved this SO much. You brought out her playful side and the explanations added so much! Well done! I agree she has a warm and beautiful home! I mentioned quite some time ago on a Chateau Diaries episode that Mummy reminds me of Joan of Arc. I still think so. People comment on her "gruffness" for lack of a better word. But I think it's because she has standards that she doesn't like to see people cross. She doesn't suffer fools or laziness easily. She's the Joan of Arc of LaLande! 😊🤗🧐

[@loria.02139]

My dream home! What a beautiful chateau! I love hearing about the history and the renovations.

[@Teena-yi9xw]

Those bird plates are absolutely Devine! Stephanie and Vivienne both look beautiful in their soft flowing sun dresses.

[@kaywallace6139]

Vivian and Simon have lovely taste. Beautiful home.😊

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

Such a beautiful Chateau!!!

[@carolehanrahan]

I think that a home is a reflection of the people/family who live in it so to say that this is a most amazing chateau is a direction reflection of what wonderful people reside in it. I swear it isn't fair that some people get all of the talent, beauty and fascinating lives while the rest of us can't draw a straight line and live in tiny apartments. I would be a bit bitter over it but since you are kind enough to share a little of yourselves and your home then I guess I will still have to think you are wonderful. lol

[@carolinegooder7091]

A couple in NY lived in a tiny one bedroom apartment and 50 years ago bought cheap paintings from young artists. They had OK jobs, but not great. They later had dealers look for them, only bargains of strange new artists. They hung paintings on the ceiling when they ran out of room on the walls and stacked them under the bed. A new wing of a museum is opening up for their collection, which they are leaving to the world.

[@carolinegooder7091]

The difference between the two vlogs with and without the B roll is a great study in editing. You and Stephanie could do a workshop at Lalande. Viviane could do a workshop on building an online Chateau shop. See all of her beautiful items.

[@mocarra100]

I think Vivian's chateau as far as the decor is my favorite! It is so homie and cozy even as large as it is. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS Stephanie's my favorite also, remember Stephanie you have lots of favorites lol

[@joanchaffinbawcom5722]

Blue boy and Pinky were a fashion trend. My grandmother had their portraits hanging in the hallway on both sides of her front door. Oklahoma city 1950s and 1960s. So of course I researched them. Interesting history.

[@carolinegooder7091]

I even had tiny versions of them in my dollhouse. ❤ They mark the time when blue became for males instead of red and pink. Females got the pink. ❤

[@ronbennie1028]

The original paintings can be seen at the Huntington Museum and Gardens in Pasadena, California.

[@richaelblewett5068]

I absolutely love Simon and Vivienne's style. It is warm, comfy, cozy, and interesting. It doesn't take itself too seriously. However, there are points of serious high-end antiques and objects of beauty and art. I love it! A wonderful amalgamation of American and European sensibility. 🥂🍾🎆❤️‍🔥

[@serenitypeaceandcomfort3669]

Well said!

[@frankietorres6740]

Oh my goodness! That's the most beautiful home I have ever seen. Well done

[@annaluecke7591]

What a lovely person she is very warm and A Beautiful Château thank you Ladies

[@bhavens9149]

Love the Stag statue viewed just through the kitchen window, absolutely gorgeous!

[@sourclam904]

What a lovely home, with lovely owners, and it was just such a romantic tour. Thank you for sharing. Hello from the mountains of central Arizona, USA...

[@michaelt8727]

There is so, so much to be impressed with inside and out of Vivienne and Simon's unique Belle Epoque Château de la Croix-Boisée. I love the range of periods and styles of the beautiful furnishings but of it all I am in awe of the Limoges porcelain plates that Vivienne so perfectly hand-painted with various colorful birds and greenery.

[@carolinegooder7091]

Wonderful Chateau. Vivian has designed two Chateaux over 20 years, so she has a detailed, rich but relaxed style. I love the funny touches added in. It is great that one day there will be 7 or 8 bedrooms completed. ❤

[@normamurray4450]

This was absolutely wonderful, a pleasure to be a part of. Vivienne is such a lovely lady and the two of you did a great job with the tour. You are all lovely people and I thank you for including us.

[@mp7519]

Thank you Stephanie and Philip for making this wonderful vlog...and of course Vivienne for opening up her beautiful home ! Vivienne is the most beautiful fascinating host you could have ! I like Vivienne very much, she's such a genuine genius ! ❤❤❤🐥

[@P.Galore]

Vivienne is a remarkably talented artist with impeccable taste. Love her bird plates - what a labor of love.

[@kindlydude]

Those plates are exquisite... and evidently one of a kind! I wonder what the process would be to reproduce them... I would buy at least one... or two!

[@trackmasterjr3]

Thanks Stephanie for this wonderful tour of This wonderful chateau! The way you two ladies giggle and dialogue is so joyous! I feel like part of the gang!

[@josephinedavidson5968]

What a remarkable talented woman she simply shines as does her lovely husband, What delightful and close friends they have become, cultured, elegant and you all fit together like gloves x lovely to see. X

[@kindlydude]

It was like a ping pong repartee of artistic, talented, accomplished ladies ...who seem amazingly void of ego ...only JOY in life, their partners, beauty, nature, and art!

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

Vivians paintings are beautiful...I LOVE them and the plates OMG STUNNING I LOVE the birds to who knew how talented you are and have been hiding. You should paint again or do commissions true artist it should be shared ❤❤

[@rosalvaperez3595]

I felt in love with your kitchen 💖😍

[@jfs59nj]

Well done Phillip! Thank you for the complete video.

[@candydonnelly7543]

What a wonderful opportunity for us to experience the delicious home of Vivienne and Simon. They are as beautiful inside as out. I fell in love with Vivienne the first time I found her on KZbin being a creative just brings joy to our lives. Thank you both Stephanie and Philip for creating this delicious experience.❤️🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷

[@lisaakinlabi]

Vivian is such a talented artist and it is not only reflected in her painting but in her decorating as well. How very kind of her to give such a lovely tour. Like minded friends make for joyful days of sharing and socializing - you are blessed to have a one another.

[@hollykeller1545]

Acorns & oak leaves are symbolic of prosperity, good fortune, youth, fertility, rebirth, ward off evil, innocence & new beginnings.

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

I love Vivienne & Simon’s chateau. So beautiful. ❤

[@michelerowes4340]

A very talented family .thank you for showing us your beautiful home

[@soitsmelaura]

An equally spectacular space

[@carolstrong8733]

"Everything can be functional and beautiful. There is no reason why it can't be. And nothing that we own should not be used." Love this!

[@robertarogers998]

Wow what talent. Love getting to know Vivian a little more.

[@allanyeager263]

Thank you for uploading the correct version.

[@sharon9399]

This chateau is stunning and functional. Thanks for the tour.

This was so wonderful. I’ll now have to add Chateau Love to my subscriptions.

[@janegendreau6595]

Wow, just Wow, Vivienne & Simon!! Such an amazing chateau!! The beauty, charm, romantic & historical detail. Just love it!! 🇺🇸

[@lorrainel2314]

Well, we’ve seen a different side of Vivienne ❤ I knew Vivienne and Simon’s Chateau was beautiful from their channel but this tour is amazing 🥰 Didn’t know Vivienne was an artist 💖 Thank you 🙏

[@mattaaronwalker88]

Your enthusiasm clearly seen, who both have soulmates of equal interests and talents ! We love your vlogs !

[@dalewest4967]

Absolutely wonderful, I enjoyed that very much.

[@toddmurphy523]

I did not want this tour to end. I am just amazed at all the historic and whimsical furnishings Vivienne and Simon have collected over the years to showcase in this luxurious, friendly, comfortable, chateau of a home.

[@jomeyer13]

AND THE STORIES THAT GO WITH.

[@melaniewest3947]

The chateau is gorgeous inside and out. So many different styles but arranged in the perfect places

[@maryjanekolesar8325]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your magnificent home which really suits your personalities and zest for life, Vivienne and Simon and such stories! And thank you Stephanie for bringing us along on the tour.

[@tropicalmom2468]

I just want Vivian to decorate and source art and furniture for me. She has amazing taste and I love how it all coordinates without being matchy matchy. I also adore birds.

[@queaniesincetip4363]

Vivienne didn't disclose that she got a really good price on those chairs at the Hogwarts auction.... Beautiful home!

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Delightful!

[@rosalvaperez3595]

So beautiful place and Mrs Vivian you’re so amazing tour-guide !! I love your place very beautiful👌🏻😉👏🏻👏🏻💖

[@luluandmeow]

I am in awe of all these people's talent(s), creativity, positive attitude, sheer hard work and open heart. They deserve their happiness and success. Thank you for brightening and inspiring our lives too, Simon, Vivian, Stephanie and Philip

[@chrisgranite2239]

Wow, this is one of my favourite videos from Stephanie et al. So lovely to get to know Vivienne better and see her beautiful home. She is so charming and knowledgeable. Thanks everyone

[@carynkabat4208]

Love Vivienne’s taste and skill in decorating. Simon’s skills are also fantastic. I was also impressed with her paintings. How does she decide where to sit as there are so many beautiful, comfy rooms. The roses were fabulous. Always love watching Chateau Love vlogs. Would love to stay there some day and return to the Loire. Thanks for the interesting and entertaining vlog.

[@pattiburke867]

Absolutely gorgeous Chateau I will be rewatching this

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

Vivienne and Simon are so talented. Their chateau is gorgeous! I really like the way it is both beautiful and lived in!

[@staciamartin923]

Vivian is one of the most classiest women I’ve seen. She is beautiful talented and so gracious. She and Simon are so in love. The Chateau is an expression of both of their creativity and beautiful characters.

[@donnasimpson1544]

Vivian your dinner China is Amazing! You are so talented. Thank you for showing your Birds to your viewers.

[@clarefoskett9959]

I think that you two ladies bring so much light and happiness to people. I know things happen in your everyday experience but still you project positivity. The chateau is so colourful and full of energy❤. Thank you, crystal ladies😊

[@ritasengupta9611]

Such a stunning chateau, decorated with a relaxed style, elegance and a touch of quirkiness. Love so many of the pieces including Vivian’s artwork and painted plates. Vivian is an astonishingly creative artist and this is reflected in everything she does. Everything is well thought out and has a story. Simon is also talented, skilled and a passionate foodie. Both complement each other beautifully and have a warm and endearing energy with a lot of humour. Lovely chateau and a home.

[@georgesgohier484]

Just WOW!!! Oddly enough, it makes me think of Dan's little château with its brick & stone stripes.... and his chateau is a blank canvas. Oh the possibilities

[@emilys9365]

I thought the same thing!

[@swede716]

Vivienne is such a talented person. I have watched her channel and it is so much fun. You showcased the chateau wonderfully and thanks❣️

[@karmathegiant]

The outside brickwork and the use of turquoise reminds me of Dan’s chateau that he’s bringing back to life.

[@judithclark2823]

Love everything about this video. What a treat. Thank you so much for giving your viewers an inside look of Chateau Love and your friendship with Stephanie and Philip🥰

[@sallyscanlan7269]

Thank goodness you sorted it out! It was such a tease, 😂

[@kathyevans2968]

This shows what decades of collecting, learning, appreciating and loving art, history, beauty and celebrating life results in. The hand painted plates are a labour of love on top of exceptional talent as are other pieces. Vivienne and Simon are a wonderful team, lovely people and friends to you Stephanie & Philip!

[@cindymaceda2999]

The original paintings of “Pinkie” and “The Blue Boy” by Thomas Gainsborough (18C, English) on which Vivienne’s grandma’s needlepoints was based are actually in the Huntington Library, Art Museum & Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California (open to the public).It’s near Pasadena. We visited when we were in LA. Worth a whole day visit !

[@margaretmichelsen766]

Oh My, The Kitchen. I just love the kitchen. The talent and the creativity involved in doing it all themselves, it is so beautiful. I saw the Joan of Arc bedroom reveal a while ago and it is truly amazing as well. What inspirational designers and artists they both are.

[@anonymoussource3664]

Vivian, she's so more relaxed here than often on her fabulous channel.... talented lady either way.

[@violinchicklet]

I just loved Vivienne’s laugh when she put on the old gramophone! This was a wonderful episode. Can’t WAiT TO STAY!

[@cherylkurucz8852]

Vivian and Simon are so talented! What does stunning chateau With every little detail making me smile And want to visit. Excellent tour Vivian !🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@ehpeachylove]

Vivianne I love your beautiful dress. This home is gorgeous. All rooms are well designed and I love them all but especially the kitchen. Any cooks dream to be honest. The chairs in this room around the table are beautiful. Vivianne you are an amazing artist. As long as I’ve been a member of your channel, I never knew you painted such beautiful paintings. I did know about your bird plates and they are gorgeous. Absolutely a stunning building/ home/ furnishings/ history. Thank you Philip and Stephanie for your visit and interview with your good friend Vivianne. I must also thank Simon because he does so much to help Vivianne too. They are a lovely and fun couple. So enjoyed this visit. Gorgeous roses .love to all.❤❤❤

[@bhavens9149]

The Original Blue Boy and Pinky are hanging in the Huntington Library in California. They are incredibly beautiful.

[@tydanum]

Absolutely wonderful video, love you both together, real friendship, both so enthusiastic of all arts. Vivian is a great artist in all she accomplishes 👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰

[@jomeyer13]

I love love the way Viv. creatively and theme wise does up her rooms. She carefully plans and improvises a bit and makes the most perfect room. And I love her choices of color. Her Love of statues and tapestries make the best accessories for a house personal for their family and guests.Vievienne is perfect vlogger. But has so many interests that keep her busy and us entertained

[@rose-marie7351]

😍😍😍 what a beautiful place! That statue in the fountain, just WOW!!! Such a great painter also! Lovely to discover more about these two. You have the loveliest friends! ❤❤

[@oldguy4821]

As a young boy, my father was the commander of a military base in Chinon. So glad you are close to that wonderful place with memories of my childhood

[@catherineevanoffour12]

Very nice thank you

[@loopypoodle]

i must admit I was avoiding Vivian's channel I didn't want another chateau channel to watch but she is so lovely I'm going to go binge watch.

[@annedavey-sd8bf]

Vivian should sell prints of her paintings they are amazing

[@mariapetras2654]

🌟❤️🌟❤️ THESE TWO LADIES WERE MADE TO EACH OTHER 😉 And we benefit…😘
