Meet Our Chateau Family

[@OurFrenchChateau]

PANCAKE is upset. His name is spelled wrong in the video. He wants me to apologize. I'm sorry, I wasn't drunk, just very tired. Won't happen again.

[@jimglover2856]

lol!! Sometimes kitties get their “noses out of joint” over the smallest things 😻😻

[@trevorbn2]

I’m sure he’ll forgive you! Lovely vlog tonight ❤️

[@ronaldhorton2438]

I'm not convinced you weren't tipping a few!😅

[@CherineMuirheadArt]

❤

[@pam9917]

😮

[@traceykusser368]

This one has it all: laughs, tears, and all the emotions people should feel for animals. The hardest part of having animals is losing them. Thank you for sharing this video with us! ❤

[@Sherryskogstad]

These animals are as lucky to have you in their lives , as you are to have them. ❤

[@laurenbouchie2394]

Lincoln is such a good sport, thanks for the laugh today Lincoln!

[@PleasantPrickles]

I really couldn’t tell who that mysterious man was with the voice disguised, but I’m glad he enjoys the animals. I loved hearing all the back stories. You two are such kind hearted souls. 🐾

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😎

[@kmarch6630]

He was obviously Frecnch. I could tell by the accent.

[@lizdobson9793]

@@kmarch6630 I think you are on to something.

[@letitbee7248]

Ok. That bit with Lincoln talking about the animals was hilarious!!! Y'all are too much fun!! Love all the backstories on your fur babies!!!!

[@sandykaye412]

Watching Enzo and Guava running and playing in the snow brought tears to my eyes.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

🐾

[@1910TuckerRoad]

Me too!!!… i thought maybe im over emotional.. glad its not just me!…. Love the animals

[@NeckasFBIAgent]

Me too 😢

[@andreacleghorn479]

This has been an absolute treat! Thank you for your loving kindness -- your diligence in documenting these sweet creatures does not go unappreciated by the humans who follow you.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you :)

[@dianac52176]

One of your best episodes to date. Thanks for all of the hard work editing, and posting these. What a treat.

[@guadalupematthews9879]

I never tire of your sense of humor. And Lincoln; the blindfolded skit takes the cake! Don't stop what you're doing. Best wishes. God bless.

[@VintageLPs]

The only thing more funny would have been a REAL blindfold. 🥸

[@marynorthcutt9263]

Oh go ahead and let the donkeys in the chateau 🫏🫏. You two are awesome 🐕🐈‍⬛🐈

[@bluelightshighsky]

Your editing is getting better and better. And the slightly sarcastic commentary makes this not what you would expect from a channel about a french chateou, in a good way 😂 Keep up the good work! ❤

[@creolelady182]

Thnak you for being compassionate to the animals

[@lollygee172]

You made me laugh out loud, weep for long lost pets, and wonder at your open and generous hearts giving all those animals a loving and safe home. I still think there must be a cat sign flying over the chateau that only cats can see. Or the locals watch your vlogs and are dumping their cats in your woods. I just cant imagine how many strays are in such a rural area! Any way, keep up the great work!

[@sallymoffit3751]

A delightful video. Thanks

[@AtlantaGarden]

O.M.G.!!! I nearly had my drink come out of my nose when I saw Lincoln with the disguise 🤣🤣🤣

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😎

[@normamurray4450]

Oh Lincoln, I love your voice over and yes Amanda, poor Panacke!!! This video tops them all so far! I love all your vlogs, but this one....top notch! I'm thinking I might send my daughter's recent rescue pup over to you for training. He was found in an alley in Mexico, doesn't understand a word of English or Spanish or whatever else is in his genes...he's a bouncy 2 year old, keeping everyone up at night....I could go on....

[@Sushi2735]

Thanks! A small donation to the Kitty Fund from another animal lover. Thanks for all you do to alleviate animal suffering 💕

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you :)

[@ellegerdeman1443]

This video was hysterical !!! Loved the pet stories but your husband was the star👍

[@kikim5507]

Love you guys. You so kind and so funny. The world need more people like you.

[@michaelwieneke1992]

Amanda, I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I consistently get many laughs & some occasional tears (not in a bad way, though). But I'm always in a better mood afterward. Needless to say, the past 8 or so years in the US have been challenging, so your videos about life in another country are appreciated.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

I'm so glad!

[@janeharris6925]

You guys are a hoot!

[@debb8152]

Those pictures of Mochi and Cornelius are so great, so beautiful--especially the one on the stairs.

[@allisonbeard3705]

Love This Episode On Rescues! I Am Also A Rescue Lover! Dogs, Cats and Horses!!!❤

[@JenniferFerne-lb8xc]

You two deserve the best of everything.❤

[@nadia-i1l5h]

The world

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

I know what it feels like to have your beloved pet pass away in your arms. It was literally the first living being that I witnessed dying.😢

[@tamaradekold5840]

You two are so funny! Your sense of humour...can't get enough...lol...loved the dogs playing and rolling in the snow..always looking forward to the next video

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks so much!

[@suzannestubbins]

thank you for saving them, and given them a home ❤ your commentary was hilarious 😂😂😂😊

[@jackiedecoster5527]

Love this video. How wonderful your chateau and family is a haven for sweet animals. You're good people. Feel better Pickle!

[@susangriffiths8621]

Thank you for formally introducing your animals: they are so lucky, in their time of need, that you have taken them on. You are such wonderful people.

[@themainer1267]

Thoroughly enjoyed the formal introductions and especially liked the man whose identity was protected. 🙂 Terrific video. Thanks so much for sharing with us and with your furry family.

[@JoanneLamont-gp5mr]

You’re so kind giving all these animals a home. Love watching your channel.

[@joycecole4956]

I have been watching “Chateau” videos for years and I have to tell you yours are the most interesting and entertaining. Thank you for taking such good care of all your furry babies. I live on a river in Fresno, California (I’m sure you passed thru here at some point) and have taken in many strays who have been dumped. They can be the sweetest creatures, one is sitting in my lap as I type this. All the best to you and for whole family.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@ritaderuysscher3535]

What can we say, another award worthy video, starring cute animals and a mysterious guest with glowing skin (he must have a special beauty regimen 🤔). All kidding aside, thank you for being you, and for taking in and loving all these beautiful animals. And thank you for taking the time to put together this video. We appreciate it ever so much! Maybe, some time in the future, you’ll need to renovate one of your outbuildings and transform it into a 5-star pet hotel. Best wishes to you all.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Wow, thank you!

[@charlotteturner6300]

Your devotion to rescuing and loving your animals makes my heart happy.

[@michellecbauer]

Love, love, love this-especially the fantastic slo mo shots of Guava and Enzo in the snow in front of the chateau on a glorious winter day. Happy spring!

[@jdrew5367]

Looks like fluffy, is extremely helpful in making the bed. 😂 This was lovely. I’ve never laugh so hard had tears of loss that you endure and understand your confusion about animal not work in your home. Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤

[@ellengordon2933]

I so look forward to see what you and Lincoln are up to every week. You are both such warm and delightfully funny folks. Thank you for letting us know about your “zoo” and how you came about having so many furry friends. I have had many cats in the past. Percy, my newest feral feline friend was adopted by me 7 years ago. He was a mess. His was emaciated, FIV positive, his fur was falling out, he had fleas…….. He has proven to be a gentleman and is quite loving even though he doesn’t like being held. He’s great company for this widow. I truly don’t understand how someone can mistreat an animal or another human being. And, dumping an animal is so cruel. They truly just want what we humans want; shelter, food, and love. Thank you for your kind hearts!

[@maureensayersaberdeenquinnie]

Loved our stories about your animals.

[@annlyon.2040]

Boy if I took my Cat (Scarlet) into the vet every time she didn’t feel good , I’d be broke ! I’ve only taken her in once just recently. She was find but found out she can’t hear any more. She just turned 17 ! Happy Birthday Scarlet ! ❤❤

[@kimberlyflanigan]

omg!! you guys crack me up!!! I loved all the effort and talent you put into this video...and into everything you share with us! Thank you!

[@YourNextStep1234]

I love that you're animal people!! They are so lucky to have found you!

[@Kim-J312]

Fun video 😅 made me laugh , which I needed I doing my taxes , at the last minute 😅. I adopted a ferrel kitten, 2.5lbs of pure hissing and bitting for 1yr straight.... My Yohan , I was on a mission to love the mean & ferrel out of him ❤! Hes 10yrs old now and 20lbs hunk and mellow fellow now. You can love the mean/ ferrel out of kittys 😺 just takes patience and dedication ❤. Is Lincoln in the witness protection program ? 😅🤣

[@denicesmith5391]

Thank you for sharing your animals. My heart is happy and broken at the same time from the stories.

[@lisawarren2557]

I laughed, I cried. It was a roller coaster of emotions. Two thumbs up

[@happysailing2]

😂 … mystery resident 😂 thank you for the animal bios ❤

[@arancel23]

The anonymous animal lover. The slo mo baywatch run through the snow. Waffle’s ladder climbing tutorial. 😂 I love it all!

[@pammacleod7689]

What a great video. Thank you! Maybe all that catnip gives Waffles the munchies. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@rabbithill56]

Thank you for taking these babies in....you're good people

[@PlanetTango]

Lovely and loving. You do a beautiful job of editing and your music choice is perfect. Valorie Hart 💙🦋🦋

[@libertyblueskyes2564]

The cutest family ever with such a large chateau to wander in and out of.

[@LennaWinther-Saxe]

What a joy, thank you for the time and effort introducing us to the "herd". Cats, dogs or donkey's, they know good people when they find them. Your family is truly appreciated by those of us who watch, listen and enjoy. Seems as if your girls have the same DNA to keep their eyes and hearts open for possible lost souls. Don't worry about misspelling Pancakes name, when my 18-year-old Sweetpea passed away, I accidently misspelled her name when I had her cremated. Much to my horror the plaque came back with "Sweatpea, a child of questionable parentage". I cried, I laughed, then placed her little cedar box on top of the windowsill where she sat to watch the cars and people walk by. She adopted me and I think she would have forgiven me for my faux pas. Best to you from the Patron Saint of Old Stuff

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@tiffanybrantley7039]

I'm months behind, but 2 things in the first 2 minutes: I have been wanting to call Guava Mango every time I see him so now I am so pleased to know that there WAS a Mango, and a beautiful one at that! And the anonymous man with the voice distortion SENT ME!! LOL! (I am the proud human to 6 cats and 6 dogs so I know a bit about the 32000 photos to sift through!) Edited to add: the joy our pets bring us must outweigh the sadness of their loss because otherwise, how could we even bear to continue? My soul dog, Herschel who is 10 was just last week diagnosed with lymphoma. It is a diagnosis that I can't allow myself to think about-the idea of losing my best friend... Many snuggles to all your furry family!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you. I hope your pup is doing well :)

[@roxyjackson893]

jij bent een prachtig mens een heerlijk kattenvrouwtje bedankt om zo goed voor hun te zorgen

[@LCamp-cr7fs]

Amanda, you are a good storyteller. You are also lucky to have Lincoln‘s very active participation.

[@gloriasmestad3803]

Thanks for all the backstories! Very enjoyable, let’s see who and what shows up now!

[@gayejani350]

This was a lovely episode. Nice to finally find out how your furry friends came about. You are such kind people. And once again Lincoln is a good sport hiding behind the solid black stripe across his eyes. Of course it took awhile to figure out who this elusive stranger was!🥰🇨🇦

[@OurFrenchChateau]

🥸

[@emichelesmith4568]

Love your videos ! My husband and have rehabbed two old houses, raised kids and many dogs and cats during our 60 years together. Fluffy is the image of our Cindy who lived to be 18. All our animals have been strays that have found us. Currently we have two Covid kittens found under a car in a rain storm at about three weeks old. They were a challenge but made it and give us much joy. Thank you for helping the feral cats of France.

[@AnneRas11]

❤ as a cat person love this video. I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey here.

[@lizanncrabtree]

You have found your niche, the videos! You are hilarious! I love you guys your videos make my week! I really loved this video, being an animal person myself I always find myself drawn to them wherever I go. Thank you guys for sharing with us, I always get excited when a new video is posted❤️❤️

[@susieq6452]

Thank you for the video & I’m so glad I’m not the only one! My husband says I have “sucker” written all over my forehead that only cats & dogs can see. I am back up to 5 cats & missing my dogs after loosing the last two to pancreatic cancer.

[@srigging]

AWE....they are ALL so loved ❤ I loved the "mystery-man" segment. 😂 Hilarious! 🤣

[@virginielassauge2728]

Vous êtes formidables !!! Recueillir tous ces animaux est vraiment super de votre part ❤️❤️ J adore vos vidéos 🤩🤩❤️

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Merci :)

[@tamithirion7766]

I love love love you're pets🎉 stories... Our pets have picked us, lucky us 🤗 We have a rescue dog from Beijing, she was pregnant and a blessing had only one pup. She was in terrible shape, but such a love 🥰 We have 4 indoor cats and a feral kitty we love outdoors. I'm finally accepted by him and he allows me to touch his tummy. I am worried about the introduction to our indoor 4. Thank you for sharing the history of your sweet fur babies, and like you are a firm advocate to spay and neuter. Hugs to all 🥰🐎😽🐕💞

[@barbaraceo7828]

Had a smile on my face for the entire vlog. Such great care by you has made them such great house pets

[@dianerayburn1728]

Lovely animals, lovely owners.

[@terrywilson5048]

Excellent video. Loved it❤️. Thanks for sharing 🎉

[@cathyhutchinson2246]

Thank you so much for sharing the history of your animals. You know what they say, you don't choose a cat, they choose you. 😁 These guys are no dummies, they know where to show up. It takes special people to take on the huge task of moving to a different country and renovating an ancient chateau. And maintaining a sense of humour! 😅 But it takes very, very special people with big hearts to welcome all these animals, give them a home, take good care of them and love them. Bless you! 🥰

[@moonbear897]

thank you for sharing your pet stories with us and bless you for giving them all a home. I switched from tears to laughter lots of times watching this.

[@berniecolvin-vi4gq]

Thank You so much for caring for all those fur babies. I love animals too. They give so much love and don’t ask for much. ❤

[@OurFrenchChateau]

So true!

[@jazz847]

Fabulous. My favourite chateau channel ❤❤

[@myspanishcountryhome]

Have you considered adding a jive-talking rescue parrot to the menagerie?

[@OurFrenchChateau]

OMG. Amazing idea! Don't tell Lincoln

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

These are very lucky animals having you in their lives. Your caring heart is enormous. They all look so healthy and very happy and Lincoln cracks me up. Great video Amanda. It made me smile. xx

[@ellebelle8515]

Truly, this was an episode of laughter and also tears. "Animals are controlled by humans and don't have a voice or a choice." 💯 For this reason, it is one of the most painful aspects of life to watch animals suffer. Thank you for setting such a caring and responsible example.

[@donna4137]

So funny and clever!!!!!!!😂

[@Barb6106]

What a fantastic video… 🩷 Your loving and generous attitude towards animals is a testament to your character. And your children are kitty magnets! Loved this so much. Thank you! You all are a blessing.

[@paulacorreal1675]

Loved this video. I can’t imagine having 9 house cats but you seem to be able to handle them very well. Hats off to you for being such a compassionate animal “advocate.” I also get such a kick out of you and Lincoln’s sense of humor. So sorry you left the USA but also happy you’re doing well in France and seem to be happy with your new adventure. Watching from PA, USA.

[@kknichols8067]

Your content is phenomenal! Hilarious and beautifully filmed. I love it 💜

[@carolynmaccord3635]

What a lovely group of souls! Thank you for sharing them with us. You are running a B&B it's just for fur babies😊

[@joannemccormick5730]

Another superb video, thank you for sharing all of your current and lost furry babies with us. You guys have such wonderful souls and big hearts. Thank you on behalf of those you advocate for! ❤️

[@kayfurlano1462]

Love your sense of humor.

[@heidiraia9902]

Your menagerie is wonderful! You guys are like the Pied Pipers of cats. Thank you for sharing their stories with us. You guys are fantastic!

[@Nickysmom]

I have a feral cat who has lived with us for 10 years. Very pushy to get attention and affection now. I found a colony of abandoned cats and their kittens. Got them neutered/spayed and vaccinated and found good homes for them. Always knew we’d have to keep Rook. Two years prior to that we were leasing a horse farm and a cat showed up at the kitchen door, insisting on coming in. After spending a few days at the vet and eating high quality food for a few months he turned into a real beauty. Very neurotic, can touch him but not much petting, he gets overstimulated. The only cat I’ve known who, for no reason, jumps straight into the air and changes direction 180. But we each have our quirks. Have had more dogs and horses but only 5 cats over the years, I adopted one, the others adopted me. Enjoy your videos, your animals, humor and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for making these videos

[@kenmichellewilson3644]

Thank you for the wonderful video, really made my day 😀

[@janedunlap3518]

This was funny, charming and beautiful. Thank you!!

[@ingridhendy5922]

Panacke is now my favourite.....this was an awesome video - hope it goes viral....I wonder how many times I have to comment and forward it for that to happen 🤔

[@cdelaney5047]

Loved Lincoln’s voice transformation- so funny. Thank you , much needed

[@mbuck1653]

All I can say is best yet. Editing, dialog fabulous.I can't live through Sundays without you two. Yes I do have a life. LOL MDB SDCA

[@stknmggs1788]

You guys! 😂😂😂 Loved this one (but I love them all). All your furry friends are beautiful.

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

It's hard not to tear up seeing all the unwanted pets (before they came to you). They know a good thing when they see it. My heart would do the same.

[@janeblandford852]

Oh my goodness......I love this video and Lincoln......I had a goo chuckle! Thank you for telling us about all of these beautiful animals....they are all so precious!!

[@guyprot-zq1dz]

Merci pour eux ❤❤❤

[@lindaduclos9497]

YAY for laser surgery! My husband is a veterinary dermatologist and teaches laser surgery in Europe. France is his fav place. When I first saw your Mimi in a video I knew he could fix that! So glad you had access to laser surgeon! Your show is so fun to watch. And hope Lincoln’s new facial route goes well. LOL. Yes my husband laughed at that too.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

How wonderful :)

[@FrenchFifi65]

Oh my gosh, I giggled so much during this video. Thanks for the much needed entertainment!

[@debbiemilan2867]

What a fun video! I think I’m in love with Enzo! Thank you for being the people who rescue those in need.

[@judydenney7483]

Just goes to prove that there are angels walking among us. You and Lincoln. All those fur babies... just wonderful

[@theresebarr7619]

Thanks for introducing all of your animals! They’re all lovely, and you are wonderful to adopt them all! Also, you’re hysterical, just saying!

[@wendybailey5841]

Bravo This was a wonderful piece! I watch many of the other French Chateau casts and yours is and has been my favourite. The reason? Your warmth and love for the ever growing non human brood is a marvel to see. (It’s truly a wonder that people haven’t dropped off animals by the truckload). Your unique sense of humour and wit throughout keeps us hanging on and coming back for more. I also shamelessly envy your life with Lincoln. A man undaunted and undeterred by adversity it would appear. Bravo again to you both. Your posts are the best. Only wish there were more. Merci, merci, merci!

[@estavoyernathalie9433]

Le château du bonheur pour tous ces orphelins. Quelle belle vidéos . Merci !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jeniwhitt481]

Your video had me in tears. Thank you for taking care of the animals. I watch all of your videos because of your sarcastic humor and your kind hearts toward all animals. Bless you. I also saved my dog and two cats from being put down. My bearded dragon was a "gift" from my son (he wanted one so he gave it to me as a gift). I love watching your stories.
