Opening incredible gifts, including JEWELRY, HANDBAGS and the world’s CUTEST BEAR!

In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world.

I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Keep Chloe at the chateau, she is adorable and so funny! She would be a good member of the team.

[@gastronomique]

Hello Nat, I was moved to tears when Stephanie opened a gift a while ago from someone telling the horrors of human trafficking. I would dearly love for one month to have the Cadeaux revenue go to protecting women and children from this horrid business. Thanks, John in Sydney PS: Where on this page does mention this month’s charity? It would be very useful to include the link for viewers to donate too, as I think you might get 2-3 times more money for the charity. 🌹❤️

[@lawrencebaker2318]

Beautiful, fun and thought-provoking! I like Gastronomique's suggestion about choosing an anti-trafficking charity one month. It truly is a global problem with devastating effects.

[@lisaakinlabi]

First off - Chloe you fit right in - you are a very sweet lady. I am always astounded by the wonderful, thoughtful gifts that people send, especially those which are selected for individual personalities. I am an emotional person, if I ever received a personalized gift I would be sobbing tears of joy. So those that send such gifts, you must have a special kind of heart.

[@Randy8923]

I adore Chloe, She is simply at home there. Amazing gifts of love as always, A special bear for sure. I love all the gifts. Enjoyed. Love to all ❤.

[@christineh5790]

Such beautiful and generous gifts once more - I adore Theodora!😍 It’s wonderful that all Stephanie’s and la Landers’ gifts are being ‘paid forward’ by donating the proceeds of this channel to charities.👏 Chloe fits in so well to the camaraderie of la Lande. The bags are such beautiful colours and I loved Yoda and the jewellery too. The hand knitted shawl is exquisite and will be both warm and soft to wear. 🥰

[@christineh5790]

Authentic charities can be checked and the benefits evidenced for all to see. I agree you have to do your homework before donating.

[@sandranokes7443]

I loved all the gifts, but the hand knit shawl was very special. I am also a knitter and know what it takes to make something so fine. Truly a beautiful gift.

[@lynbf691]

It’s so pleasant to see Chloe there; her reactions are genuine!

[@davidpankratz142]

really glad to see Stephanie and Phillip going strong they make such a beautiful couple and glad to see a man like Philip secure with his romantic and fem side too it takes a real man to be secure and have a bit of fun love the sword broach

[@wendydennis9127]

I love the way the “inner children” come out to play at Cadeaux time 😁💗 Theodora is adorable. The chateau is complete with a resident bear. The gifts were all so thoughtful!👏👏

[@lgrigg5439]

Stephaine, Nat & Phillip You are gorgeous people I just love seeing you all, you make my day Love from down under Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 😍

[@martinethevenau69]

What delightful gifts. Michael's teddy was so lovely. Nattie looked like " Poca Hontas" with the red strap around her forehead. The Michael Korrs handbags were simply stunning. Another wonderful escape.💛🐻👜

[@rebeccalarason306]

I love watching how generous people are to the show.

[@trishradloff2421]

MK handbags are an incredibly generous gift. I have the same bag in a golden color. It’s one of my favorites. Such a fun video. Hugs from Houston.

[@earlaagaard8175]

I think that Theodora would look even BETTER if the bow were to be on the opposite side from the bracelet. Lovely time together -- thank you all so very much!!

[@csr3282]

John and Michael and other gift givers, your generosity reflects your beautiful spirit and shows for all of us how much the videos give us joy and and appreciation through difficult times.

[@peterwhite9261]

Lovely caddeau and gifts. Theodore is adorable. I have a handmade Teddy with movable arms and legs. It was given to us when we got married in 2000. Best wishes and enjoy all.

[@lindasprout9526]

I also have a genuine bear my girls and I made at The Boyd’s Bears “home” in Pennsylvania about 20 years ago. I named him Woody in memory of my father. Unfortunately this place closed a few years ago. Best wishes to all at La Lande🥰

[@leahhamdaoui7755]

3 beautiful ladies and a bear !!! 🏰🏰✨✨💝💝

[@penihavir1777]

The blue shawl, which you wore as a winter scarf, would be perfect worn over the shoulders for late summer evenings and early early fall days, when you just need to chase away the chill. That way you can enjoy the amazingly beautiful lacy pattern (completely hidden when worn as a scarf). ♥️♥️♥️

[@jeanninef2110]

Theodora needs to be up in the attic toile de jouy room!! Beautiful gifts! You all look beautiful! Hugs!

[@caroleharden3055]

OMG! Theodora is a beautiful bear! The bags are amazing & such a lovely gift 🎁 Nice to see Phillip in a tee-shirt! ❤️

[@talesfromtuscany]

Another joyous CADEAUX! There’s nothing more fun than watching your happy faces and seeing you enjoy all the glorious gifts! People are truly so generous 💖💖💖

[@angieflynn5354]

You girls are so lucky the bags are gorgeous and the so suit you both enjoy

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Such beautiful gifts once more. Love Chloe in her first cadeaux. She is a wonderful addition. The dresses worn by Stephanie, Nati and Chloe are beautiful and you all looked stunning. Thanks again for sharing the laughs, the joy and laughter.

[@karenallen7064]

That shawl - Beautiful! (Just to be safe, it will need to be handwashed with a woolen soap and laid flat while carefully straightening to dry. If it's fingering weight yarn, it will dry quickly.)

[@charleswalker1185]

Yup, or ya might end up with a hanky!!

[@tinacarrol6702]

Lovely Seeing All your Beautiful Faces. Love The Gifts. People are So Kind. Have a Lovely Week. Xx 😘😊

[@HollyRose1529]

Since we’ve never had a tour of the tennis 🎾 courts, I think 🤣 it should be a pool. LaLande needs a 🏊‍♂️ pool! 🤣🤣 Each time I watch a cadeaux I know I’m helping a charity. Stephanie your so generous and kind. I love all the beautiful gifts. And all the LaLanders! 🤍💙 Ladies, you all look so beautiful. I have Bertolli glasses from Italy, they look very similar. Mine are in blue, green, purple and pink. I love them! Philip, that’s so Autumnal!

[@rose-marie7351]

such a cute bear!!! I now, I too want a Designer Bag!!! 🤩

[@katelanxner6483]

The Cadeaux episodes are always so entertaining and inspiring. Thank you all! Greetings from Maryland, USA.

[@deborrastrom8559]

Love ❤️ seeing you back Nattie. Hope you two had a fabulous 👌 time. Now prep for Isabelle!!! Cannot wait. ❤️ 💙 💜 I loved this one all of you are soo cute opening everything. 😍

[@kaydonahue]

My son was in eighth grade when I was 42. His oldest girl starts kindergarten, soon, and he's 42. I am going to do what my mother would do! Wear lipstick as red as Natty's purse, and kiss her, if she lets me. I cried when my kids started school. This will be her third year in school. Two years in Spanish school first. Wonderful gifts!

[@carolweaver3269]

The. Pocket books were such total knock outs! The perfect hand bags and I love them as you are able to wear them as you please and your mood directs the Way! Everything was.grand. Such lovely patrons and viewers. You are all so loved.agree. that Chloe seems perfect as a "keeper" but we must be sire.she.wants to be "kept" Just being a.bit silly, sorry Justus be.getting Tired?

[@carolweaver3269]

Stephanie, you mentioned that if anyone had a thought of a charity that may well worth givng a monetary contribution to you wanted us to let you know.. In the U.S. if this would be place we can give to as it is not France am notbsure, but qSt.Judes CHILDREN hospital. Would be lovely to give to I feel anyway. They take children dying or at least struggling to.live with Cancer etc. They may be trying to O heal from many surgeries chemo and n Much more. THEY NEVER CHSRGE PARRNTS AND THRY TRY TO.PUY THEM UP, AND NO ONE ISNTURNED AWSY JUST BECSUSE THEY CANOT PAY. Many parents must be with their children and often must move to do that and find work agsin.Spome children may get wel.emough to go home at some point. They receive so.mamy therapeutic help and medical personell.alwsys are there. This was started by a gentleman who has died but was in show business. His ne was "Danny Thomas." You can look ot up to learn more IF interested at allq? . It maybe cannot be done if not in THE U.S.? But his daughter took up the baton, and has carried on.keeping all.the same as her dad wanted it. They do not keep the. Money it goes for the health of the children. They do not want the parents to be concerned on where to stay or how to afford to have their child get all the help.neded. They felt they had enough on their minds. I.hope you are able to at least read about St LUKES HOSPITAL..and all.they try to offer to.help children very sick with Cancer and in need and how parents are allowed ro concentrate on the health of their children and not worry about how to afford to be there for the family. SO NICE TO BE SOMEHOW A PART.OF HELPING IN SOME WAY. THANKS TO YOU, AND ALL.OF LALANDE! Thank you for taking the time to even consider this one.

[@tkarichey3]

Never gets old seeing all of you enjoying life and sharing it too. Thank you!

[@gloriagavaneli9862]

Theodora is a Greek name. Beautiful teddy. Love the bags. Such fun.

[@amandaoosthuizen9065]

I like Philip's hare the ways he folded in a messy bun. Make him looks rustic.....

[@maryschlotter108]

I dream of the day when all the stars align that I may visit the chateau. I have a Vermont Teddy Bear ( I’m 67 ) and while on a vacation years ago visited the place in Vermont where they are made. Theodora is wonderful! Love the name choice Philip !(I live near TR home )I’m so glad she arrived safely. Wonderful gifts that help so many. The purses are fabulous. Thank you Stephanie for always sharing the beauty you have created at LaLande. The world needs beauty.

[@jacksonpeterson6899]

Hi! You've a beautiful picture on your profile!! Just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated 🌹☺️

That was fun! Natty does such a great job staying on top of all of it! Good job👍❤️

[@yvonnesullivan4388]

Really luv the autumn color shirt

[@jasminemelon]

I love the Bear she is Beautiful xx

[@srqlisa7881]

Donation idea. There are many people who are color blind and cannot see all that is La Lande like most of us. There are corrective glasses, but they are not affordable to some. Maybe there is an organization that helps give out these glasses. 😁

[@1231ms54]

What a cute Bear.

[@Winton46]

Always such lovely thoughtful gifts but fab has to be the Teddy although I’m always partial to a lovely handbag -

[@melaniewest3947]

[@susandelongis885]

Love your perfect pink & white dress!

[@oosterhuisd]

The Chateau must have a dressing room for all the jewelry, scarves etc.

[@carolinegooder7091]

There is a costume wardrobe in Narnia (the attic space) and Stephanie has a small clothes room, that women raid for costume parties. Also friends who are designers bring more into the house for parties and when they visit.

What a joyto discover these beautiful gifts, given with a lot of love and dedication.

[@williamgreenough8350]

i live at the bottom end of your lifestyle. im just not good with recognition, i watch you because of our contrasts, even though ive studied art history and anthropology, and on to the physics relm its the art history that lives around you that keeps me watching week by week, sadly i can only watch so much of chateau at times almost soul sucking, but the rest of your chateau antics i love, drama, drama, drama.............. thats what keeps a big home running, you have those that hate the rich, and those that just like the history and those that just love watching you and anna, and the petericks, as well as that really sweet couple 'its a wonderful life' couple. your influence is a wonder, and the people you've brought together is incalculable, im sure god is even proud of you

[@mylifeasjessio]

the kids of Lalande are going to adore Theodora!

[@Blessings.429]

Stephanie and Philip gang….Stephanie do you even realise that now your beautiful Chateau is now truly becoming a family home again especially with mummy and Percy coming home also Scott man when he finally retires. Natty as a SIL we’ll cousin in law… love Amery ‘s family.. truly a family home…💖💖🇦🇺

Watched again right away. The blurriness is gone. I fell in love with Theodora and Baby Yoda, the purses, the shirts and the jewelry. Then there is the hand-made shawl! Blew me away. It's so beautiful. The vlog seemed so short today, but so fun. Chloe is fitting right in.😘😘😘

So wonderful!! Thank you for including your fans...

I've said this before but I am fascinated by the fact you call a pull over sweater a "jumper" I wonder how that came to be. Chloe is adorable.

[@carladuus4338]

Oh darn! I was hoping Phillip would go into the room right behind the sofa to change into his new shirt so we could see him through the window like we saw Stephanie changing that day!!! Lol 😆 XOXOXO

[@carolinegooder7091]

I thought that also, but to be fair, we need to state you couldn't see much, when she accidentally did that. 😘😘😘🙂

Hello lovlies! I think the name Theresa is the perfect name for your Valentine bear! 😉 The blue glasses omg I did not know they came from the Madonna Inn, as a child it was a magical place and it meant we were almost to LA. Driving from San Francisco where i grew up to Los Angeles to visit family if we were good my mom would stop there for a snack my favorite besides pie ala mode was a butterscotch shake and they were served in those glasses!!!!! But I recall them being much larger 😃! yes its in California. Have a lovely day and thanks for you vlogs, Therese

[@lafranglaise3399]

Quote of the day from Michael in Vermont: If your ship hasn't come in yet, row out to meet it ! 😊 Anyone else procrastinating today ? I'm sitting here watching Cadeau when I should be clearing out the conservatory. But such are the priorities in life. Seeing Nati brandish "Utility" made me wonder whether Antoine, Marie & Nick would be visiting soon as I miss seeing them then, all of a sudden, Stéphanie mentioned that she & Philip are going to visit them. What fun ! I'm already anticipating the great vlog to follow. It's lovely it is to see both Stephanie & Nati being spoilt. How generous & thoughtful people can be. This really is the best channel on the KZbins. Love to all Lalanders & greetings to other patreons & subscribers.
