Secrets at the Chateau

[@debbiehalliwell7797]

I wish I could forget the opening lines to the Chateau Diaries Stephanie and Philip. I'm a childminder and look after a little boy who is autistic every morning during lockdown ( I was able to look after him due to both parents being essential workers) . he would run in find you tube and find Stephanie's vlog (easy as I watched every day). He would watch the into again and again and again... 😂 never the actual content... He still remembers Stephanie when he sees her face. He actually says Hi I'm Stephanie and he has very restricted speech, so I'm always blown away when it happens. ❤❤😂 Congratulations on an amazing journey and allowing us to share it with you. What a lovely bunch of people you call your family friends😊❤xx

[@karentillotson2181]

Lol....when Percy says he knows quite a lot about chicks because he has Isabell...😅 Those two are just the cutest!

[@robynw77ify]

That is hilarious!!😂

[@amberroberson883]

Yes I agree such a cute couple.

[@ceeblazuk7816]

Its remarkable evolution when you think back at what the courtyard looked like just a few years ago!

[@heidiraia9902]

I was thinking the same thing

[@katelanxner278]

You are all so lucky to have Kirsty and Pavlina in the garden, and with the sheep. They are so capable and good-natured in so many ways!

[@lindascott2008]

I'm glad we got to see Pavlina in the garden, missed her last episode, busy gardening it appears. Apparently she prefers gardening, and painting, over the flower arranging, according to the C.D. comment in last episode when someone asked where Pavlina is. So, it works out great that Marie is doing the flowers and Pavlina is in the garden. I look forward to Marie getting her studio cleaned of soot and perhaps a mirror, which she went next door to the gift shop to be able to see her bouquet from all angles in the mirror that is there.

[@carolinegooder7091]

​​​Marie just moved to the boot room also, as it is closer to water and the kitchen. She said she would use the bread room for vloging also. Marie has a new wild flower plot, while Pavlina has a new herb garden, her famous teas and does some of the flowers also. I love their different styles. ❤

[@brigidine37]

Annalise looks gorgeous!

[@createallow3126]

I never get tired of looking at the courtyard. So beautiful! It really looks like it's always been there.

[@sharonadlam3195]

Absolutely. I had forgotten how bare it originally was, I watched the first episode of DIY Chateau - Living the dream the other day and there was just a few lavender plants in the courtyard in the beginning.

[@Undwn_onyx_]

joys of having a professional plan it ... looks SO GOOD

[@jimm8682]

Pavlina is such a sweet and original person, always doing things to help in any way at the chateau inside and out, we hope she stays as long as she wants to, one of the unique and least self centred of all the helpers and modest, keep her and make her feel wanted Please…!!!

[@KH-nn6kh]

Don't want to be nosey, but I had wondered what Pavlina interests and background was prior to arriving at the Chateau.

[@deborahreynolds1552]

Kirsty the woman of many talents and a joy to be around I am sure!

[@user-cj9zx1me7b]

What a beautiful combination....Marie's cooking and Philip's tablescaping!

[@Sparrowdean]

Maria did the cooking.

[@sandicarpenter2658]

yes, MariA

[@user-cj9zx1me7b]

Yes, it was a typo! I meant Maria....and I should have caught it as my name is Maria as well!! My family and friends go back and forth between calling me Maria and Marie so I didn't catch it until after I signed off, went to bed, and woke up thinking...duh! .There is both a Maria and a Marie at Lalande ..both are beautiful and gifted. My apologies to Maria :) for this. Best regards, M

[@cynhanrahan4012]

The gardens are beautiful, but those garlic braids are magnificent! The chicks are so cute, it's good to let them get some outdoor time. It is always a joy to watch your videos.

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Kirsty is marvellously skilled in sheep shearing, plants and agriculture; she is a real blessing with a lovely personality. The sheep looked adorable, Alyoisious was resistant as always but home safe and sound. Everyone looked very fresh and pretty in Summer dresses. And, as always Percy is dashing, droll and witty and mummy patriarchal, organised and soo loving to the chick's and animals. Annalise's hair is gorgeous; she has a stunning smile and is beautiful in her baby blue dress. Philip's dining table decorations and flowers were enchanting; he is so creative and each dining table decoration is unique . The village is delightful and uplifting to see the community excited for new buildings and events. Xxxx ❤

[@janetwhitney233]

What a beautiful village. This whole video is lovely.

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Yes very uplifting Xxxx🌟👌❣️

[@JLR1957]

Kirsty is one amazing person !

[@rgrndu]

Hear hear!

[@marylyon1230]

I just love your Mum and Percy, their adventures are simply a joy.

[@judithclark2823]

Does Maria ever get overwhelmed with preparing such gourmet meals for so many? She does such a wonderful job. Mummy, Percy and baby chicks, so fun to watch. Oh yes, Amaury and sheep sheering-Ooo La La!! What a fun video to watch😁 And Annalise is so beautiful. Thank you🥰

[@gabriellebaalke6704]

Lalande is filled with such beautiful couples! Amaury and Nati, Isabelle and Percy, Stephanie and Philip. :) The laughter and the playfulness and the joy--it makes me smile!

[@therealmlw]

Watching these videos really is like stepping into a modern fairytale every time!

[@jampuppy]

Our maid in Flanders had the exact same model, and possibly year, Citroën! 🤩

[@janetcorey5102]

I love Percy’s gentle way, sophisticated gentleman who knows how to dress!

[@Ida-fz3ir]

Philip should make a book from his table decorations...really beautiful!

[@heymsvicki983]

Great idea 💡

[@raymondtwitchett488]

Please no

[@AnneSmith-mu2ph]

I Love your mom an Percy,your mom is adorable Stephanie,sending you all love Ann ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@brittawrolson5936]

My gosh how I enjoy watching Percy and Isabelle tackling projects together. They are cheeky and wonderfully happy with each other!🥰

[@nativetexan6628]

Playing Dance Monkey!😂😂😂 I love it!

[@bridgetcooper6331]

Annalise is so beautiful. Inside and out.

[@marianapereira2130]

Totally agree with you. She is a ray of sunshine.

[@victoriasavu3943]

She is beautiful.

[@ladyvalhalla7154]

I have a climbing rose called St Joseph's Coat..same colors you were hoping for.

[@VBB7]

She glows 🥰

[@rolo4945]

My husbands French granny always had large bottles of eau de Cologne to spray on her clothes and linen. Her whole apartment smelt beautiful

[@brittawrolson5936]

Annelise is indeed a lovely and gentle soul

[@elizabethcoffee8436]

Chicks do all kinds of things you never expect them to do….oh, dear Percy!!!😂❤

[@leeconry2989]

Mummy puts a smile on my face every time i see her her humour cracks me up And every women wants a Percy

[@Sgirl]

Percy is truly a gem of a man. ❤

[@aliciahorsepool4155]

To each one of you Beautiful people at the Chateau a Big Thank You 🤗🤗🤗

[@sarahmattingly6971]

Stilettos as crampons- now that’s a new one! 😂 I loved seeing the little community band. So wonderful!

[@AvaT42]

The village get together was lovely, so inviting and fun. Annalise is so pretty, gosh I wish i had her complexion, peaches and cream.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

It's so funny how the sheep just let their heads flop over when being sheared like they're just devastated so might as well kill over lol. Loved seeing the chicks outside. I'm sure they enjoyed their little adventure. Stephanie, your dress was so beautiful!

[@monikastuckey8737]

Love seeing the chickens and sheep. Everyone looks so lovely dressed for dinner and outing.

[@kaywallace6139]

Kirstey is awesome. She can do so many different things. What a body on Emery! I love the community fair with the music and different drinks.

[@minahammonds7511]

Maria is so talented in so many ways! I admire her so much.Enjoyed watching Thank you

[@kimberlyearly8918]

*Maria

[@clairecooper9931]

Peachicks first outing ❤ adorable. Molly is so beautiful just watching them ❤

[@lizarce272]

Wow! Annalise! You look Amazingly happy beautiful and do I dare… happy !

[@sandicarpenter2658]

What a delightful watch that was!! Pefect for lunchtime....Isabelle looks so very happy with the chicks. How still the sheep were for Kirsty to shear! Amaury got his shirt off! The pagola is filling up nicely with trees.....and the village get together is marvellous. Philip's table settings just get better and better and Maria's menus are off the scale! She is marvellous! Thank you so much. Sandi x

[@loriwagner6299]

Molly is such a good dog and so cute! 💖

[@donnab8205]

Always great to see Annalise. She's is lovely.

[@lindascott2008]

Annalise looked particularly pretty with her suntan skin and blonde in her hair, and she looks so happy, being kept busy with clients at the chateau, happy for her. Wonder if she has a summer romance....

[@susangriffiths8621]

Mummy is so kind and caring with animals. The table settings and meals are devine.

[@angelavan478]

maybe a little chelated iron for the soil on the roses? just looking at the leaves, looks like it could use a little

[@babymammoth6254]

Anyone else loving how happy Nati sounds when videoing Amaury? She’s glowing at the moment and seems much more relaxed

[@sharongruener6078]

I loved watching your mom with the chicks. Her and Percy are delightful together. Blessings.

[@carolynhoover9444]

What can I say? Everyone plays an integral part at the chateau! Sheep shearing, guiding sheep back to the hroup, Pavlina's gardening, Maria's creations, Phillips talent at everything and you Stephanie are a gorgeous soul. Mummy and Percy with the chicks. Fabulous ❤

[@kathyritchey9526]

I love Annalise, I'm so happy that we get to see here. Love you you all.❤❤❤❤

[@okienana11]

Pavlina needs to show us how to do the garlic rope. I harvested 172 garlic bulbs.

[@mary-ellendurkin163]

I agree Annalise is beautiful. And I was noticing a lovely her hair looked.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Stephanie, I am impressed with your high heel walking technique. That path was far from flat and smooth, yet you did not so much as stumble in quite high heels! Thank you for the video!

[@pdq5465]

Molly is such a darling❤️. You guys work hard but you know how to enjoy life. It’s lovely to watch.

[@trinapellegrino621]

🙋🏼‍♀️🕊. The white roses 🥀. will looke lovely in the moonlight , out of your Bed room window…💐💐💐💐💐. It’s called a moonlight garden 💐💐

[@dirkstrachan2421]

Stephanie in the greenhouse saying "I feel safe seeing lots of Garlic" WHY did I immediately think it was because of French Vampires...

[@larissap6586]

I’ve recently been watching vlogs about livestock guard dogs and it was very sweet to seeing how quickly the dogs are trained to guard the chickens and because the start with chicks as young as yours, the chickens end up used to the dogs. Molly’s interest in and temperament with the chicks made me think of the LGD. ❤️🇨🇦

[@barbaragreen-studer2808]

I’ve been inspired by Maria’s cooking and tried to make several of her recipes including the tomato tartare with avocado and the gaspacho with watermelon. Yummy!

[@josephinewills8647]

Oh my Goodness this is Fabulous, What a Wonderful Video, Great Connection With The Village, Stephanie your Amazing 👌👍👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🥂🥂🥂🥂

[@xxnoritaxx]

I just love everything about la la land but mummy just makes me so happy. You are all such a light in this scary world. Thank you for being you and sharing your life 💕🙏🏻🍀🕊️

[@lorassorkin]

I'd wondered about the roses. It's possible for rose colors to change a bit with soil minerals, however, a yellow and pink rose going completely white is too drastic for it to be the correct rose. What a shame they aren't as we hoped, but I agree the white does look lovely with the lavender. I'm in love with your little village and the events they put on to bring members of the community together. It's my dream to live in a place like this - maybe one day....

[@j.s.walker178]

Isabelle and Percy are amazing , Percy if here in oregon he would be a rancher by his looks , as they say here slightly bent but damn strong . They are wonderful to watch .

[@EmilyBoltz]

I love that car - it’s called a Deux-chevaux. You can easily removed the seats so where ever you go you can have a picnic. That would be a selling point for me. The courtyard is stunning and I think it is divine intervention that you have the white flowers. It is perfect!

[@irenebrown3144]

Percy and mommy are so adorable.😊❤

[@patdowney4984]

Annalise is such a beautiful girl x

[@deniseblackman5229]

That village party looked like so much fun!

[@joannedavidman6773]

So much fun, I love how the town is doing all this. And the chicks and Molly oh my

[@JohannaVeerenhuis]

Thank you so much for all the joy!! 🫶❤️🫶 I have respect for Kirsty, how she handles the sheep. When I was a child I had to help my father with sheering and that never went as smooth as it did here. 🫣 Of course Molly is calm and gentle, so is her human. 👌 It’s great to live in a small village with a real sense of community. We have the same here, it’s lovely.

[@elizabethstrohschoen1438]

Assistindo todas as pessoas no Chateau eu penso em como a Vida pode ser linda e feliz qd as pessoas se reunem em contato com a Natureza e em um ideal - o projeto de tornar Lalande cada vez mais acolhedor. É um lugar mágico porque as pessoas fazem maravilhas nele. E parecem crianças felixes cuidando dos bichinhos. Gratidão por mais um vlog de sonhos realizaveis. Daqui do Sul do Brasil.🇧🇷🌻

[@rablatour]

When I raise chicks, I keep them inside till they’re fully fledged (about 6-7 weeks). I put them in increasingly larger brooders as they grow. Eventually you will need a cover on what you’re keeping them in or they will escape.

[@Aviationpioneer97]

I love how Stephanie takes a dress compliment by telling everyone the price. She's thrilled if it's sale or vintage ❤

[@chickeyd9579]

I loved every second of this vlog but I think it was extra special for being so relaxed and everyone enjoying simple pleasures.

[@alisonsneed3707]

Stephanie looks so young and pretty walking in heels in the woods. Lovely dress.

[@southernbelle193]

A river runs through it…an excellent movie you must watch..something you said triggered that memory…love your videos

[@peterwhite9261]

Annalise looked lovely, and she did a great job on your hair. The little chickens are adorable, and so are Isabelle and Percy. That is a lovely idea forvthe weekend bar, to bring people out and mingle. Stephanie, you looked lovely in that summery dress. Kirsten shearing the sheep and Amaury getting them in the pasture was enjoyable. Pavlina, great job braiding those garlic. Maria, I wish I was there to taste your food, it all looked Heavenly. Phillip, the table setting is beautiful again. Thanks for a lovely vlog again.❤

[@KristinLBuck]

I love all of the tablescapes in this video. The colored glass is divine!

[@janeb.1678]

The table cloth is exotic looking and the table setting is stunning. Well done Phillip. I love the greens, blues and browns. Quite different from anything you have done before. You must have so much fun with all of the choices that you have to work with. I can understand why you can't resist buying more dishware and glasses.

[@LABdk]

I need to visit. As a perfumer, happy to see you using the bottles! Hoping to be in France, England and Austria for a month summer 2024.

[@patriciaodoherty5202]

❤I agree,Stephanie looks lovely!

[@lauraclaudia8159]

Wonderful seeing you All, again!!! But I have a soft spot for Isabelle and Percy!!! And I loved you, Stephanie, for not allowing the little ones to carry stuff by themselves!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

I think the sheep like being sheered! They know it's good for them.

[@paulahunt1493]

On my husband's ranch they docked the lambs tails so maggots couldn't get into them.

[@rgrndu]

@@paulahunt1493 what does that mean?

[@manishaholm]

Chickens are so funny with new food. "I've not seen that before; I'm not going to eat that!" Two minutes later they wander past again, "oh! I've seen this before! I'll eat this."

[@niser54]

I love the community get together - seeing all the ages in the band melted my heart 💫

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

All the ladies are looking beautiful in their stunning dresses 🥰

[@1231ms54]

The baby chicks are so cute.

[@a_highland_life]

I love that you donated from cadeaux to the village and think it would be a great idea to do so again.

[@poppyhh2695]

Stephanie, You look so beautiful in the glorious Anthropologie dress! The part of tonight's video with your mother and Percy and the chicks was absolutely charming! Also, thank you for sharing Maria's wonderful dinners, Philip's beautiful table settings and the visit to your local village for the aperitif party. Just a joy to follow along on your adventures!

[@cheryldingley4546]

You look so beautiful in that dress Stephanie - like a fairy Princess in the gardens. Love your videos.

[@milmapletree279]

Those look astonishingly close to the gorgeous roses my father grew in his garden many, many years ago. He won awards and accolades for his gardens as did my grandfather. My mother held quite the greenthumb, as did my grandmother's. I bet those roses hold a fragrance like no other, as though an artwork never to be compared.

[@kaylarobbins8641]

The chicks are adorable! I just put 27 of mine out in the coop! I have 2 more in the house and my gosling, they'll be heading out soon right before I head to France! We are staying with y'all at the end of July, can't wait to see your precious chicks in person! I work part time for a chicken company specializing in breeds specifically for pets, they are one of my biggest passions!

[@endeavouringit]

Good chick therapy, Amaury shirtless, lol. Wow the dining room and table setting is stunning, but as always.

[@yvonnesullivan4388]

Mummy is so cute wirh the chicks
