FRENCH HOLIDAY HOUSE TOUR IN SAINT EMILION | Lydia Elise Millen

[@pollys2142]

I know you guys go to so many beautiful locations and houses and you often talk about what you want for your future home. But please don’t forget what you already have, your house is so spectacular, you’ve done an amazing job with it. Not every place you go to is actually better. What you have is incredible already 😊

[@diva8768]

I agree with everyone. While the fabric is lovely, the top half of the dress just doesn't flatter your beautiful figure.

[@susy3136]

Totally agree. It’s almost like the bow in front should be in the back..maybe?

[@JulietteJeantyPressler]

The minute Lydia saw the balcony, the “oh wow”s broke loose and she was absolutely giddy ❤❤❤ love to see the joy!

[@tzoe875]

I will never complain if you say “wow” or “beautiful” it just shows how excited you are! I love your stripped skirt and blouse for dinner-so chic!

[@cathbeesley7070]

You and Ali did such a great job of showing us around and your genuine enjoyment of it all was lovely to watch.

[@PjTexas]

The white dress with rouge accessories is absolutely incredible! ❤❤❤

[@genevievececil7156]

Lydia, I just love your try-on videos; it's lovely to have it as a segment of the larger video. The fabric of the patterned dress is gorgeous, but I don't think the bodice and neckline do you any favors unfortunately. I definitely preferred the fit of the Emilia Wickstead gown. Very excited to see the 85 heel height on - those are ones I've had my eyes on as a compromise from the days of stiletto madness! Hope you had a fantastic time in France! It looks amazing.

[@simonecarter6506]

Agree. The fabric and skirt looks vintage but the bow and top is overwhelming on you.

[@AnnBaker-hi1xs]

Lydia, I just LOVE your enthusiasm and joy in everything you do and see. YOU bring joy to my days. Saint Emilion was fabulous to walk through with you. Thank you for taking us along.

[@kristincheever2145]

Maison du Breuil looks like a dream, exactly how life should look like all the time! Every detail was considered to perfection. What a beautiful destination! ❤

[@lisachild6098]

Lydia the fancy long halter neck dress did look a bit bulky on the top half. As you said needs a slight adjustment. You picked the correct shoes to keep. Although they were all very nice.

[@kimkolpin4244]

I loved this so much!!! Thank you for taking us all to this beautiful place, so dreamy!!

[@nicolem.8494]

The shot of you in the classic car with your vintage Hermes scarf made me say SHUT. UP. out loud! So cool! Adding this beautiful place to our bucket list... so glad you shared!

[@loralee3232]

Absolutely beautiful the French holiday house!! The inside, the grounds, the artwork on the walls, the food, everything!! What a treat to be able to stay there and enjoy the scenery & house! And I love the outfits you chose. Especially when you were in the back seat of the car wearing a scarf. Wow took me back to a different era. Thank you for sharing this house and taking us along!! 😊❤️

[@elizabethpage2912]

Love the way you curate your wardrobe, your home and your life - just beautiful 🧡

[@Rainmomma67]

I love Simply Red too. He is very jazz/blues. Classy

[@deniseb5359]

Yep very classy I disagree with Lydia on that

[@helensilvers7397]

The first dress is just beautiful. I always think you look best in clean and classic lines. The structure flatters your figure perfectly. As beautiful as the other dress was it just seemed like too much for you. You seemed to be drowning in all the fabric and busyness of the dress. You love the classics and they love you. It works for you! ♥️

[@fayisler4962]

That white dress is gorgeous however the bow really down grades the second dress.Watching on big screen & already excited to see over an hour to watch😍😍

[@beverleyabrown488]

I would never have thought to put White with Burgundy, Lydia … but WOW! I loved the contrast and Burgundy, is one of my staples for Winter. Now I’m definitely going to try my shoes and bag with white in the summer months. thank you for showing us both tan and burgundy vibes. I wear tan an awful lot and sometimes I like to up the anti with my wardrobe choices. You have me inspired to try new two-colour combo’s. ❤

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

I've been to St. Emilion. It was lovely. Saw probably one of the most stunning men I have ever seen in my life. When I got back to my group I heard the other men talking about him. They were stunned too! I was amazed how the town has grown out of the ruins of the Abbey. Did a very nice wine tasting there too in a local shop.

[@susantattersall9164]

The Holiday House looks absolutely amazing, how beautiful. The French do it so well.

[@judyannkiwi]

Enjoyed the tour through you n Mr Gordon’s eyes … The time you spent validating the charm, art work, details of this quaint property couldn’t have been better. The bathroom vanity’s were something else. Bath is a dream. This is a romantic place ❤❤ The white dress for sure fits you perfectly.

[@Dulcie00smile]

Happy to say that I'm getting married in Saint Emilion this summer ❤ It makes my french heart sing that you loved this region of France 🥰

[@deniseallott3756]

How exciting, I hope you have the most wonderful wedding in that beautiful setting ❤️

[@beccalynn917]

I like your wows because you are just being authentic. It’s so sad to hear a content creator have to apologize for just being themselves. If it were fake, it would be different but authenticity shouldn’t be criticized.

[@ninasingh1405]

I can’t wait to see what inspired you when you decorate your downstairs room/bar. 😊

[@louisecodrington-marshall5182]

I agree with the other comments the dress with the bow say no to the dress and yes to the plain white dress. Send the strap shoes back they somehow shorten the leg length and give the illusion of wider feet. 😊

[@ma2870]

I can tell I'm definitely going to watch this vlog many more times. Pure joy at every moment of the video.

[@Thereal-Loramo]

The french holiday house is absolutely stunning, I love the interior design❤❤.

[@krausemedia]

It’s never a real Lydia tour without the “woooow” and “oh my goodness!” 😆 what a gorgeous place! 😍

[@angelicalyremar]

Lovely vlog as always, about that stunning white dress with the bow in the front, I agree, it´s a bit too much fabric in the front, that bow should be less fabric on or in the back, I whould send it back, but the fabric and the style was beautiful.😊💗👗

[@mfcanada9196]

These are my favourite videos, a luxurious haul in the dressing room and a beautiful trip in the countryside. Thank you Lyds and Ali XX

[@julie15957]

Your travel vlogs are just so touching. I literally made a playlist just to play in the background when I'm cleaning or just need good energy. Thanks Lydia and Ali.

[@CharleneGetsGrowing]

Stunning just stunning! The place, the food, the views and the new found love of country music makes me happy too! Wonderful vlog 🤍

[@dionnevoller2903]

I adore your genuine love of interiors is - so many wow’s and inspirational references 😂😂

[@carikabornman6189]

Love-Love the first white dress!❤ you styled it perfectly 👌

[@annagallo7504]

Definitely a bucket list add on. Beautiful video thank you. Never get enough of your vlogs Lydia. I might watch it again.

[@solennlecorre7945]

As a French person who lived in Bordeaux for 5 years, I am so happy that you loved our beautiful region as much as I do ! Still trying to figure if I would rather buy a house in Provence (a mas) or a little chateau in the Bordeaux countryside !

[@CaseyWiggin]

The love the white dress and the French home and church looks stunning

[@melodydonato184]

Absolutely Spectacular!Love this video and your outfits just suits the place you are in!

[@juliecahill7550]

Thank you for sharing your holiday in France. So so nice to see and nice to see you enjoying your company. 😊❤

[@ellison_nuse]

Watching from Ohio, USA! Chris Stapleton is BY FAR, the best in the world of country music. Fabulous choice❤😊

[@emmadebermingham]

Hi Lydia :) French follower here. The little patisserie that you were eating during tea time is a "Cannelé". Very famous in France, it comes from Bordeaux. Pretty sure you can find the recipe in your Thermomix. But you need the appropriate loaf tin.

[@mariposa1933]

That bathroom in your room….but the whole house and property 🤩…oh my gosh! Love this vlog thank you for sharing. Spectacular! ❤

[@missybelmont9830]

The fortified french town is just lovely with lovely wine too! Loved visiting there many years ago.❤

[@kimberlyhallett3637]

Beautiful Lydia, i just adore you and your content so much. 1 thing I love about you is that you have all the nice things, but you're not a snob about it. Its a beautiful thing to see. Xx

[@debbiestott3651]

This video was pure joy to watch Lydia. Thank you for vlogging so much content there and your lovely outfits. Brill.

[@DeathByFashion1]

The first dress is absolutely beautiful on you. The tan sandals with the hanging toe are super cute! I’d wear them anyways but the bow dress is no bueno

[@susangifford6209]

These places you are showing us lately take my breath away! Thanks so much! You’re definitely giving us your A game❤

[@rachaelwaring9991]

Heavenly!! The vineyard is just stunning, and the farmhouse has been renovated to perfection, what a fabulous trip! I agree re the Giambattista Valli dress, I think it was too bulky on the top and the bow at the tummy just wasn’t flattering, definitely the right decision to send it back. You are gorgeous and have so many things you already own which are a million times nicer than that. Love the Gianvito Rossi slingbacks and the Loubs! Also right to send all the various strappy options back, just not quite right. I have that with my toes too, my little toes are often making a bid for freedom, or their own adventure 😂

[@MindyMaeCrochets]

NEVER allow anyone to dull your joy. Say everything that comes to the amazing mind of yours!! Those "Oh wows" and "stunnings" are your genuine reaction. If anyone has said anything to make you feel otherwise, tell me their address, lol. I just want to talk!!!! Be yourself Lydia, you are an amazing human and we love you!!

[@rexysmum]

👏👏👏👏👏🌸

[@louisecodrington-marshall5182]

The afternoon tea was hilarious. What a fabulous treat that home is absolutely stunning

[@imsojazzed]

Lovely… thanks for sharing this beautifully quaint French Village

[@jillhackland7635]

The beauty in this video is almost too much to take in ! x

[@DianeReger]

Beautiful video beautiful place you did a great job of describing everything! Thank you so much!

[@sandrahorne8742]

Lydia I have a rule I stick to always ….. “If I say, I don’t know! …. It’s a NO ……. Works every time with any purchase ❤

[@DoralHoneywell]

Your aesthetic seems to be old English design, I’m surprised that you don’t live in an old English home, I think you could do a wonderful job of decorating it. Love your content. 🇨🇦

[@helenstella2666]

The most beautiful house in the most beautiful setting Lydia. The interior was just perfection imo, rustic but cosy & tasteful. I just loved Maison du Breuil & I hope you go back as I want to see more & the surrounding area 🥰 Merci beaucoup ☺️

[@nastasia.dobrova]

What a PERFECT linen suit. They called it a dress a century ago or more. One-piece dresses were for home or for diversity.❤❤❤

[@starabaker]

What an incredible location, wow! Bordeaux is stunning. I loved it.

[@kylathomas68]

This was such a great vlog. Absolutely loved it. You and Ali are a gorgeous couple. ❤❤

[@sharonevans6261]

It was so fantastic to see such a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this stunning home and grounds. Every detail was amazing. You react to beauty so authenticly. It is so relatable...just as I would. What a magical x❤

[@rosarybennett]

That fabric in the bow and criss cross details just swallow you up. Maybe if the bow weren't in front, but bow we're speculating and redesigning the garment.

[@JaniceInFrance]

Right before you showed us the white shoes, I was going to ask you about your opinion on white shoes. I loved the dress. The white bow. Love the sling backs! Loved the haul!

[@SherryBaby1107]

Saint Emilion could not have been better! Exquisite views oh how I can imagine calling this home my goodness! The cellars the fabricated refrigerator the stone sinks were awe inspiring to say the least! The willpower must have been very strong as I too am now on the hunt for a lavender linen bag how lovely! I may need to take the design to a seamstress to recreate one should I not be able to find one online….just too good to resist not having one! Unfortunately the gorgeous dress does not provide you with the best fit and even tailoring it may not create the best look dare I say the gown with the low bow creates too much fabric to showcase a cinched waist which you take pride in showcasing as you should! I agree on the return of the strapped sandals square toe provides for a wider toe base though they can lead towards a trendy style vs classic perhaps designing your own version would be lovely! Thank you for sharing this lovely trip! 🥂🪻

[@shelleyjessup6594]

Absolutely beautiful place, you are very lucky to stay in such wonderful places. I really enjoyed this content.

[@soo6087]

I have to say after watching your Highclere vlog ….… I think the journey you have now chosen on social media as an influencer has changed dramatically, it feels like you have now found your niche, and in my mind a large percent is no longer a generic influencer, instead it seems like a different vlog, introducing us to some lovely and inspiring parts of life which can mostly be achieved from whatever background you come from. Not everything is about money, sometimes these little insights into ways to improve our being is as interesting as the next dress to buy !! Both lovely vlogs Lydia 🎉❤. Btw. the fabric on the bow dress is beautiful but the design, less is more on the bow 😊

[@kylathomas68]

I agree. I love these tours just as much as her home and garden ❤❤❤

[@joycelasseter7526]

What a dreamy place! Thank you for taking us along. If you like Chris Stapleton, he sings a beautiful duet with Adele

[@lyndamarland9405]

Hi Lydia I’ll say it for you “Wow just wow absolutely stunning” 🤣 honestly Lydia, first of all you looked stunning 🤩 your excitement around the house matched mine isn’t it just wow 🤩 I totally get your style it’s beautiful! What a lovely couple the owners were and what a place to stay! Attention to detail like you said was pure magic! The wine experience must have been brilliant 🍷thrilled for you that they had your book there. And why not! I love your book it’s and incredibly informative read, with passion and life’s experience, from the moment I read it I could not put in down!……love the lavender bags are so lovely, how wonderful to add that touch!…….I loved the whole vlog so much I’m going to watch again! So thank you 😊 Chris Stapleton, Tennessee whiskey is something I play all the time I love this singer as I love country and Jaz also, Al Green is a fantastic listen! ……lol to Ali Simply Red 😀Ali I’m with on this I know most of their songs by heart ♥️ lol 😂….,,love you guys you really are the best 💙💕xx

[@verenawalz4787]

what a beautiful vlog /trip.... had sooooo much fun to watch it❤❤❤

[@lindah0816]

Just spent a week in Provence. Needless to say i am in LOVE. For me it the limestone and simple fabrics. Leaving the art and accessories to take center stage. What is it about the light in France??? It must have to do with its geographical location because the light there is like none other. I’m a true Francophile being 1/2 French but i have to say i adore England as well. What a great trip. It’s def on my bucket list now! ❤❤ vive la France 🇫🇷

[@jtsbbsps8000]

Gonna watch the vlog properly later but just wanted to let you know i got my first Jo Malone scent because of you - tried the different scents for ages but ended up falling for the wood sage and sea salt

[@christinebourlioufas1336]

What happened to her working with jo malone? Isn’t she doing it anymore

[@jtsbbsps8000]

@@christinebourlioufas1336 I think she still does from time to time, just based on how I remember watching a vlog not too long ago where on a trip to London she visits a Jo Malone event

[@jcnorton55]

Spectacular vlog! Clothes and shoes are the icing on the St. Emilion cake !

[@VegaChastain]

The Giambatista Valli dress is great, but I don't understand the bow with all the other details in the dress, it just disrupts the silhouette. Love everything else about it, but oh well. Nice haul!! The trip is amazing, I can't wait to visit the UK /Europe one day and see some of these posh locales!! ❤

[@angeliaspinkluggage]

I hear an American or Canadian accent by the host....fantastic destination to visit. So beautiful.

[@barbaragoduto1132]

I agree with you on returning the halter dress. The bow would look so much prettier in the back instead of the front. 😊 It made to much fabric bulk in the front. Not flattering 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Citrus1992m]

Oh Lydia, I adore that striped skirt and shirt outfit on you! I wish I had occasions to wear something so classic because that is just stunning on you!

[@ireneclark3993]

The house is stunning, my favourite type of walls made of light chalky stone 😊o

[@bgirl17]

Beautiful vlog! The french countryside is one of my top places that I hope to visit someday. Also, Chris Stapleton is my new obsession and I've been telling everyone about him! I actually jumped in my chair when you said his name!

Chris Stapleton is from our state of Alabama… he won The Voice in America and the rest is history! Blake Shelton who met Gwen Stefani on The Voice are now married you would like his music too… great video 🤩🇺🇸💛

[@krollins4129]

He performed "Either Way" on the show. He was never a contestant on those type of shows. He moved to Nashville, where he started as a songwriter. Side note, imagine if he were on one of those shows... would of blew the doors off! Amazing performer, singer songwriter.

Hello Lydia! Thank you for your lovely videos! I have watched your videos for many years now and will continue to look forward to many more inspiring videos! Can I please ask you a question? Being a elegant and stunning lady such as yourself, how would you handle a situation if a lady was outwardly rude to you? (I had a situation where a lady was outwardly rude to me and intimidated me unpleasantly so I wish to hear your advice)

[@JulesZn]

Lydia, your white dress is so stunning I love it, and the tan shoes and bag so perfect.

[@sherryleary7972]

1. Love, love, love your blue and white stripes skirt. The whole outfit, perfection. 2. How did your linen pieces look crease free after packing? Alternately, how long did it take you to iron?

[@mpdcm]

This vlog is absolutely stunning

[@nitaguerrero7742]

Love, love the rustic elegant French country area, so much my preferred style. And having a chef prepare an enchanting French cuisine is to marvel over, such a taste treat for sure. You look so smashing, btw! Excitement is in order! You two enjoy this adventure to the hilt, a crazy good dream come true!!

[@DebNYCurl]

Lydia, your eyes match the decor! Also, I would panic with the food to be honest. I'm so picky and do not have a sophisticated pallet! French Country has always been my decor LOVE it.

[@taneshanurse9883]

Even for me as an American, it was a bit jarring to hear an American accent on your vlog, in a French place. 😂😂 This place is magical, thank you for sharing. 💗

[@dsmith9796]

I have the same problem with shoes - they are usually just a little too narrow. I think you made the right call sending the dress back, although it's lovely I've seen you wear dresses that fit you so much better.

[@karenreiter533]

I loved it when you thanked the gatekeeper for opening the door for you. You treat people with great respect. You are a class act, Mrs Millen Gordon. 💕💕💕

[@mamangere6932]

« Cannelés » is the name of the cakes you liked. And the copper molds are very beautiful as a decoration in a house.

I think you should return the white dress with the green flowers. It looks like the dress is wearing you not you wearing the dress.

Lydia …..that is breathtaking landscapes and that room is past perfection so my question Lydia have you ever thought of doing a book of your travels gardens vineyards and homes you’ve been to I think it would be amazing. We could all live vicariously through your travels. I have no idea if I’d ever get to London or Paris living in California Palm Springs. And we don’t see the green that you do, thank you for taking us on your trip🥰💖💄💋☺️
