FULL TOUR of this 1900's DREAM CHATEAU in France's famous Loire Valley!

[@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????

[@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 😊

[@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

[@rebeccafrancis8227]

Such a beautiful Chateau!!!

[@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

[@rayn8740]

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

[@ralphjones9903]

Beautiful Chatueau 😍

[@300books]

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

[@oksanaklein4867]

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

[@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.

[@loria.02139]

[@annaluecke7591]

[@katehobbs2008]

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

[@kaywallace6139]

Vivian and Simon have lovely taste. Beautiful home.😊

[@Teena-yi9xw]

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

[@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!

[@rosalvaperez3595]

I felt in love with your kitchen 💖😍

[@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!

[@mariamaru9972]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@frankietorres6740]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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.❤️🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷❤️🇫🇷

[@michelerowes4340]

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

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

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

[@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.

[@catherineevanoffour12]

I feel like I received a bonus today!

[@robertarogers998]

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

[@allanyeager263]

Thank you for uploading the correct version.

[@wendy-moore]

Wonderful, wonderful! What a joy you all are. Just lovely.

[@denisefazio6708]

Like I said before the most beautiful chateau

[@sharon9399]

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

[@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.

[@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. ❤

[@dalewest4967]

Absolutely wonderful, I enjoyed that very much.

[@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.

[@ritademetzer807]

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

[@soitsmelaura]

An equally spectacular space

[@jfs59nj]

Well done Phillip! Thank you for the complete video.

[@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

[@janegendreau6595]

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

[@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 ❤❤

[@TheColleendoll]

I really enjoyed the pottery painter video Vivian did! That was amazing.

[@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! 😊🤗🧐

[@hollykeller1545]

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

[@sherryspotts8335]

It's a Dream❣️Beautiful ❣️So much Amazing Talent in this Wonderful Family ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@rosalvaperez3595]

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

[@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!

[@ellend9739]

We love all of you ! Thank you Stephanie for showing Vivian and Simons beautiful Chateau! 🙏💖

[@pattiburke867]

Absolutely gorgeous Chateau I will be rewatching this

[@melaniewest3947]

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

[@donnasimpson1544]

[@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.

[@mattaaronwalker88]

Great video also a guided tour of antique and charity shops ? Don't tempt me with a good time!

[@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!

[@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 ! ❤❤❤🐥

[@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 🙏

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

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

[@Marykguise]

Oh my gosh, my two favorite châtelaines at Vivienne and Simon’s!! LOVED the tour of her their beautiful home even tho I’ve seen much of it on their channel. Loved hearing the history of how everything has come together. Loved seeing you all together. Simon and Vivienne are so talented and their home is so beautiful!! Thank you so much Stephanie for sharing and for Vivienne opening up their home to us!! Love to you all from Mary in Southern California 💗

[@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.

[@mariapetras2654]

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

[@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.

[@EllEss331]

Love! Love! Love this tour! Just so beautiful! Thank-you so 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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@janetmackinnon3411]

Delightful!

[@clarefoskett9959]

Vivian, those plates! They are amazingly beautiful 😊

[@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! ❤❤

[@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

[@queaniesincetip4363]

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

[@crae3422]

Wha a delight - that gorgeous chateau, its history, gardens, and furnishings, the art (loved Vivienne's), and all of you. Thank you so much.

[@Iris-dq5sr]

This chateau is sooo gorgeous and I love the kitchen it's great. Thank you Viviane and Stefanie 😍🥰

Your plates are beautiful works of art. You are very talented and inspirational.

[@dawnpilkington1212]

My favourite chateau. So beautifully decorated and restored. An example of how to do it right. Well done Vivian and Simon. 🌟🌟💐

[@sallyscanlan7269]

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

What a special friendship...shared passions, interest, knowledge of beauty and historical context.

[@recreatevintagehome1999]

I love everything about this beautiful chateau and her lovely owners! Thank you for bringing this to us❤

[@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.

[@trinitystarclararose7118]

A magnificent and dreamy château. Such good taste, such ambience, and opulence.

[@Randy8923]
