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 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!

[@Caoucaren]

I couldn’t agree more. 😊 Everything was so beautifully and thoughtfully presented. Congratulations to Steve & Sarah. ❤️

[@cheriesharp234]

Congratulations to Steve and Sarah on your soon upcoming nuptials. But Vivian Simon and Isabelle, your generosity knows no bounds . Isabelle, you brought tears to my eye when you wanted us to acknowledge all the hard work your mum went to to make the party happen. So Vivian, I personally thank you for being such a beautiful kind soul. Xxxx

[@spiritofanu3112]

I cannot believe what you both accomplish in a week! Super hero couple! I agree with your daughter - kudos to you, Vivienne! 🏆

[@user-bc8sq3lk6e]

Vivienne you’re always so gracious and giving!

[@Ana-Maria-Sierra]

I’m so amazed at the lengths to which Vivian and Simon have gone to make absolutely everything perfect for the bride and groom and their guests. They are the host and hostess with the mostest. Having hosted countless parties and events, small and humongous, over the decades, I totally appreciate what you’ve done for your friends. 💕💕💕

[@TaitWeigel]

You've worked so hard to get your chateau and grounds in top condition. The details of your gift bags, invitations, the tea party are all so charming.

[@maryann6884]

Dear Simon and Vivienne You pulled out all the stops for Stephen and Sarah. I’m sure the two of them were over the moon. After 20 years, you’re so right about it needing to be feted. And you didn’t miss a beat! Vivienne- you have such a good eye for absolutely everything. Really, Sarah is so thrilled with that unique ring Stephen gave her. And it is great looking.👍 Your entertainment agenda for your guests left out nothing. Simon 🌟 You deserve an award for the transformation you gave that terrace. It’s set off perfectly with the gorgeous roses 🌹. It was such a lovely day to get a tour of that beautiful little town of yours. So picturesque. Thanks to you two, S & S are going to have nothing but happy, happy memories of their Batchelor and Bachelorette Party 🎈(sans hospital run 😊) Chateau Love, the grounds, the guests, the incredible tables-cape, amazing food - was all so lovingly thought out and executed. There was so much to grab one’s attention, I had to watch this twice. 😊 By the way, you not only have an awfully talented daughter, who seems very mellow whatever is going on, she seems very sweet as well. Good job all of you.

[@wesleyc1694]

Congratulations Steve & Sarah

[@mariedowling3837]

I’m never one to comment, but these videos just make my day. Vivian, your daughter is 100% correct. You are so gracious and kind. What you do for your friends and family does not go unnoticed. Wishing Steve and Sarah all the best!

[@paulacorreal1675]

Vivianne, you and Saint Simon have performed a miracle and provided the ultimate gift of happiness to another lovely couple. How you manage to do so much and come out still looking like a lovely vision, is unbelievable. I think you should also be crowned Saint Vivianne and take your position along side of St. Simon. Loved sharing your preparations and thoroughly enjoyed the pre-wedding fun. Vivianne, your decorative abilities are second to none: unique, elegant, and designed to perfection. Hat tip to all who assisted you. Especially Simon and his power washing machine… awesome! I also think a special mention should go to your lovely daughter, Isabelle. She is a special daughter who has shown she has class, beauty and isn’t afraid to show her love and support of her mother. I think her parents should be very proud of her. …. always watching from PA, USA

[@mariadange06]

Isabella is right, your 💯% effort to spring clean, garden prep, arranging the whole event with immaculate attention to detail, together with Simon as gracious hosts, created a magical experience 👏👏👏 ❤
