ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

Vivenne, the bathroom transformation is absolutely gorgeous…Simon’s “ doors paneling” idea is brilliant ❤❤❤ everything came together perfectly

[@sushirules]

You're a chatelaine who's not afraid to get her hands dirty. Plus, it doesn't hurt that you're so incredibly creative and artful. Beautiful!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you! Yes, always grubby hands, one way or another… 😁😆🏰💖

[@dianayavetz6286]

Simon, you were so patient with your dog and spoke so nicely to him during his bath. He got very positive vibes from you and acted accordingly. Bravo! The bathroom is really beautiful and all your hard work shows.

[@Tea-nOpals]

Where are the design magazines, the photo shoots, why are you not featured? Seriously, I love your little rooms, you manage to put a big personality into each one. The ruby red jewel box of a bedroom is my #1 favorite of all the chateau vlogs I"ve seen. Beautiful work, both of you.

[@clarefoskett9959]

I agree😊

[@ChateauLove]

This is the kindest message! I used to be featured in various publications but took a hiatus when we bought our new little chateau. It’s wonderful to be “back in business”! I’m so pleased you liked the red raspberry bedroom. It’s definitely a favourite as it was such a challenge! 🥰🏰💖🏰💖

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Must be Stephanie. Vivienne you are such a fantastic artist. Your husband has great carpenter skills. Such a absolutely beautiful Cheatue!

[@gilbert3848]

Vivienne - Every great design begins with an even better story and your stories make it all worthwhile.

[@ChateauLove]

What a lovely thing to say. Thank you! 🏰💖

[@rayn8740]

Vivienne, the bathroom is lovely. I really like the mirrors on the door, very clever. Simon, the paneling was genius and it looks wonderful. All of the trim work looks professionally done.👷‍♂️ I had completely forgotten about the up-cycled tub. Another clever DIY project. The flooring looks great on camera and very authentic. What a complete transformation. Bravo!👏👏👏 ❤ from TX!

[@benedictegaspard5867]

I love this outstanding bathroom paper. I think that you did such a good work for this bathroom. Bravo ! Vivienne, bravo Simon.

[@martinethevenau69]

Your bathroom is exquisite. I absolutely love that wallpaper and the wood panelling by Simon elevates this bathroom to another level. The bathtub and gold taps add a touch of luxury. Bravo. 💛👌

[@ellendelima3579]

Your taste in decor is perfect. Both of you do such loving repairs. Kudos to being “hands on “ as a couple!

[@clarefoskett9959]

The wallpaper is so gorgeous. Enjoy your chateau time 😊

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Vivienne I so glad you are back to being 100%; back to all your great loves and joys!!! 🤗😊🏰❤

[@mrs.e3909]

We just had a news feature on our local channel here in the Midwest about the importance of wearing a suitable face mask when cutting any stone. This keeps the fine dust from the stone out of your lungs. Be safe.

[@ChateauLove]

Yes, you’re absolutely right. I promise next time! 🏰💖

[@marcyrennee4302]

Beautiful bathroom space, love the wall paper, the gold fitments are sublime, plus all the little touches. The doors as panelling is an amazing triumph!

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

Oh Vivienne, the upstairs bathroom turned out beautifully! You & Simon did a fantastic job!! Lots of love, Doc ❤

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Doc! 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖

[@trishcav4215]

🎉❤❤

[@trishcav4215]

​@Ch❤ateauLove

[@Mime_Mama]

Look at you Vivienne 💪 putting that floor down! It looks fantastic! The wall paper is gorgeous! Love your attention to the top rooms that used to not be so decorative! Look at chateau love getting sponsors ❤🎉 🌟

[@ChateauLove]

Aw, thank you! 😁🏰💖

[@michelerowes4340]

Lovely bath room . Puppy looks like he is smiling in his tub ! Thank you for your time sharing

[@nancyhope8395]

With a lot of the chateau DIY shows, I feel like the finished rooms could be in any home. But Vivienne’s always look like they belong in a castle!

[@ChateauLove]

So sweet! Thank you! 🏰💖

[@IRSA1]

You have created the most delightful bathroom with a lot of back breaking work and your inimitable flair and artistry ; very well done.❤🎉

[@maryannaarnold3817]

Hi Vivienne and Simon, I love your DIY hard work, both of you put into the "reveal" of your gorgeous, new bathroom! The beautiful wallpaper is so Chatelaine!!! Many thanks!

[@taniadutoit5982]

Your journey with these rooms starting out in their stripped down skeleton-status to where you catapult them into the final glorious end for each one of them, gives and brings hope to us at home trying to do some renovations as well. The saying that Rome was not built in one day, should rather be "They are still building Rome" ... thank you for the sober as well as fantastic moments of sharing, empowerment, enchantment, entertainment and, of course, sheer enjoyment. LOVE what you do there!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much! 🥰🏰💖

[@Jaydaydesign]

Ohhhh the fibre artist in me was drooling over all that blown out soft floofy undercoat … the yarn I could make with it all!

[@kindlydude]

😉😅🤣

[@lynnetracey8828]

No one has the exquisite taste that you have! I love that bathroom!

[@lolodee3528]

Bang up job, you two. That bathtub is a dream, Vivienne. 👍🏻

[@sallymoffit3751]

What a pretty little bathroom! You two solved several problems here so creatively. That wallpaper is gorgeous.

[@heathermcrobert9779]

What a good boy your pooch is!!! Love the bathroom reveal. Gave me some ideas. Best.

[@barbaragrace1992]

Still as gracious and besutiful as always. That bathroom is a stunner. Much love to all of you. 🥰🥰

[@rowandowland1391]

Such a fabulous transformation. We also think it’s great that you’ve set up the Chateau Love store rather than simply rely on donations from Patrons to support the channel. Bravo! M&R

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you. 🥰🏰💖

[@mjecheverria4197]

❤Vivienne❤Simon❤

[@user-tj8jr6gg9c]

Love your chateau,it's got glamour & taste,you can tell you are an artist by how you put things together.❤❤

[@nancyalford8056]

Absolutely love your design. The doors as paneling was wonderful as are the mirrors in the door🤠❤️

[@shirleymcneil4410]

Congratulations. Another awesome renovation. Simon Simon genius idea with the doors! That bath has wowed me from the first show of you working on it Vivian.

[@christikapa3856]

Bathroom is absolutely beautiful!!

[@atthechateau]

Hi Vivienne, we enjoyed the video, but what we enjoy the most is your presence, your enthusiasm, your joy for everything you do and we really appreciate that. Our love ❤ from the south, Mark and Phillip

[@ChateauLove]

Hi guys!! It’s what I love about you, too! Your videos are amazing and Avensac is truly the most spectacular chateau! 🏰💖🏰💖@atthechateau

[@sandramuis7430]

Looks absolutely amazing! Great job pulling this bathroom together! 🥰👍

[@taitweigel64]

Wonderful using doors for paneling and hiding pipes then making a shelf on top of the space. Love the tub and wallpaper. It's a gorgeous room!

[@blakehahn-atlantaga8510]

The bathroom is gorgeous! Love the gold! The faux copper tub is amazing! Thanks for sharing Vivienne!

[@christikapa3856]

What a beautiful job on the gorgeous bathtub!!! Well done.

[@lainerichardson6260]

Your new bath a delightfull jewel box. Thanks for sharing your hard work and artists eye.

[@cjpowers9330]

Simon did a lovely job and you too did an amazing job wallpapering, tiling, flooring, etc. FABULOUS!

[@carolesmith6620]

It's a very beautiful bathroom once you both got over the few hiccups.Take care and see you both on your next video 💕🌼🤗

[@user-hh6fp1gi1x]

Lovely ,just so lovely! The copper tub is a work of art!

[@lavonnemountain6133]

Lead me to the attic and that stunningly artistic bathroom! What a lot of work, so worth it.

[@LA-jf1zn]

The bathroom turned out lovely. The wallpaper and tub 😍. Your shop as always have some beautiful pieces. 🦋

[@maryann6884]

Vivienne and Simon, That was a difficult room to tackle with all its problems. You both have wonderful skills and the good taste to match. I’m so happy there is no modern sleek. You brought it back to old time gorgeous. Hope you two are in for a little R & R after tackling that. It’s turned out beautifully. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you! What a sweet message. 🥰🏰💖

[@loveykukahiko4815]

You make it seem so easy. Wonderful place to take a peaceful bath.

[@rozannemacartney5495]

WOW!!!! Absolutely beautiful

[@TheCrowsNest1950]

Hi Vivienne & Simon, Another project checked off the list and a beautiful attic space transformed. Great idea for the unused doors, great wallpaper and all the final details that make it so special. Mark & Scott

[@debtheguest3109]

Bathroom came out beautifully!

[@carolweaver3269]

Put me in for the top floor room (One of them!) Dreams do come true. But...(. I am so pushy lol) ...Looks lovely though! My husband totally agrees about the floor and how it is being done. Such a great idea and 'safe' which is most important! Absolutely do love the wall paper design used in bathroom! The bath tub truly is worth admiring! Luxurious bathing too, am sure! Simon and you, Vivienne, are doing the finest job working on this Chateau. Can see you really are putting your love into it, just like you did with your other one as well! No one could ever love staying in any room any more than those knowing you have put your heart into every single part of it! Can truly see how the wallpapering would have been very hard, and then think you were alone, making it harder, with the slopes of ceilings etc.

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much! It was a team effort. 🥰🏰💖

[@cynthialuna5786]

Love the bathroom, absolutely beautiful ❤❤❤

[@daynight4902]

BEST WISHES TO YOU, LOVE

[@chrissih4046]

STUNNING, Vivienne and Simon! Every little detail is exquisite! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@glenyscallaghan1195]

You are both so creative, the bathroom is a credit to your skill.❤❤

[@charmees6637]

Stunning bathroom transformation. I love everything in it ❤

[@mayamontoyak]

So beautiful, what a dreamy bathroom :) for the mirrored door maybe if you framed the mirrors with a thin white trim it would finish it off, just an idea :)

[@sandyneino4219]

Beautiful! So well done..love the door idea too..

[@naomirempel]

I just love the bathtub, The whole bathroom is gorgeous ❤

[@stephaniewilliams9469]

Everything you do is FABULOUS!

[@ChateauLove]

Great idea!! 🏰💖

“Measure 7 times, cut once “- Russian proverb 😁

[@maureenivory342]

You have such exquisite style VIVIENE everything you do is so beautiful and tasteful ❤

[@Liger108]

That bathroom transformed into a jewel box ~ the copper & gold tub looks so inviting set in that colorful wallpaper. Brilliant thinking to reuse the doors as paneling, and to use waterproof parquet. As always your finishing touches are whimsical and fit the space so well. Magnifique Vivian!

[@dawnalive]

Lovely bathroom

[@sandrabergquist1684]

How do you do it? Project after project, with such refinement, special touches, great colors, papers, techniques ? You are an inspiration - just infinite displays of beauty everywhere. Thank you for another feast for the eyes...

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you so much. 🥰🏰💖

[@TreehuggerKay]

What a stunning bathroom! You two are the dream team. So talented and creative. Any of your guests would be lucky to luxuriate in that bath!!! Brava!!!

[@ChateauLove]

Thank you, Kay! 🏰💖

[@barbarashapiro7499]

What a lovely little jewel box of a bathroom.

[@joannegagnon-marihart]

Wow ! Félicitations! La salle de bain est magnifique, vous avez beaucoup de talent 😊

[@ChateauLove]

Merci mille fois ! 🏰💖🥰💖🥰

[@elsatavares3321]

Beautiful. ❤. You both are very talented! ❤

[@SitaSR]

Lovely bathroom , everything ties in so well to give it a very well designed finish.

[@bridgetcooper6331]

Love it!! ❤❤The only thing I don’t like is the toilet seat cover. The color is off in my opinion 😊

[@jeanetterule5420]

What a huge job!!! It’s gorgeous!! That bathroom is delightful. A few suggestions: hook for robes on the frame of the door? Shorten the curtain. Maybe even add a ruffle or replace with lace, very Art Nouveau. You’d only need a tiny piece. Paint the long shelf the same color as the background wallpaper. You can add a strip of molding along the shelf to add a decorative element and make it more impressive. You’ve done a brilliant job!!

[@ChateauLove]

These are all great ideas!! 💖💖

[@nancylayden6871]

A small space making a splash!

[@Marykguise]

I remember you working on that bathroom! Great reuse of the doors for paneling!! Fabulous job!! And so glad you’re recovered Vivienne so you can do those projects again! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

[@stephanie422005]

I absolutely love lhe bathroom!! And the doors were such an amazing idea!!

[@jfs59nj]

Your design eye is impeccable. I love the bathroom

[@beiderbecke1927]

I thought the big reveal was going to feature you and Simon taking a bubble bath in that glorious tub! The bathroom is simply marvelous, and that tub is perfection. By the way, every morning I awake to St. Joan next to by bed (I put her in an antique frame with ancient glass), and when I get up I can view Chatelain de Jour, and Chatelain de Nuit in my bathroom while I, well, when I'm preparing to face the day. A wonderful video, thanks for brightening my evening!

[@ChateauLove]

I am so happy you are enjoying them, and I love hearing about the new homes of these pieces!! As for showing us in the bath, I think we hurt everyone’s eyes!!! 😂😂😂🏰💖

[@michaelw.8614]

You two are such a great design team. The carpentry and designs are exquisite. Well done!! Bowie is so cute!!

[@donnanancekivell9430]

Looks amazing, congrats to both of you……….Donna in Toronto

[@Sharon-Me]

You did a really nice job on the bathtub finish, Vivienne, it looks elegant!
