The Chateau Diaries 070: Pillar Boxes and Popes

[@Madhaggis]

I love the mother “There are no standards in this kitchen” 🤣🤣🤣

[@emilye1962]

Your videos are safe, warm and friendly. A rare thing nowadays xxx

[@melaniecross8369]

So very true x

[@Ambers_Team]

God! I love Grant ❤🇦🇺 he always makes such an impact! Mailbox, porch pergola, courtyard edging, the man is a legend.

[@arlettedumais5776]

Hi Stephanie, I found you during the lockdown and what a blessing it has been. We are bombarded daily with negativity that sometimes makes life unbearable. You are a joyful light for me and many throughout the world. Thank you so much! I'm planning a pilgrimage of sorts to Cathar country (it's on my bucket list) and will make my way to Chateau Lalande. Btw, I live in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the USA.

[@donnamay4016]

I so look forward to your videos my Friday morning ritual here in Australia watching you with my toast and coffee. Your so lucky to have Marie such a great friend.... We all need a Marie in our life.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Thank you! And yes, we really do. She makes me laugh every single day (in a good way 😉)

[@hannahroberts6295]

Donna May. I totally agree. I love the snippets of history. But I tend to watch these blogs before sleep here in my bed (also in Australia)!

[@sallysampson628]

I’m all caught up (twice) it’s 1/1/24 and I just found this to watch! Lovely surprise and it’s interesting to see how much has changed at LaLande since this vlog 🥰🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️

[@claudinehale-woods]

It a pleasure to watch you renovating your chateau, your taste is exquisite. I'am browsing backwards and here, adored the La Mirande's kitchen. May be, you could ask Amaury, ( when nothing else to do!), to build a similar dresser for your porcelaine: its adorable! By the way, I am longing to see the chapelle with chandeliers, and the grand salon soon, please!!! I am 81

[@noellaq8056]

You certainly know how to have fun .... I love how you find pleasure and joy in so many different situations.

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

I just love how everyone who works at the Chateau leaves their mark. Do you assign them jobs or do they chose what to do? The post box is a treasure.

[@Madhaggis]

Darby King-Maillot there’s a chore board in the wash up room.

[@Illumnia548]

From what I have gathered: They have chores but Stephanie has said that she tries to see where the personal interests lie and go from there if possible. And I think they are free to also be creative on their own. (However, I think they consult Stephanie when it is major decisions on aesthetics or such )

[@_PGBUZZ]

Happy 1st anniversary of vlogging. Keep them coming Stephanie they always put a smile on my face.

[@josephinedavidson5968]

Wow this is Stephanie at her very , very Best ! The French Tourist Board should be in her hands completely as she delivers the history that is completely captivating , seeing the Hotel was like a memory for me as it featured what was always and still is one of my favourite fabrics as a chair cushion ! Love that Pope what an interesting Vlog, this is when you are at your best Stephanie, Wondrous . The Post Box is where it was meant to be, it is lovely to see how people all love doing things for you, so happy to see beautiful Isabelle and Percy. I am sure the day will come when you have a Theatre in that wonderful building for your musicians and you singing as you do so beautifully. I can picture it already. X

[@TheChateauDiaries]

Goodness, I would love a theatre! Which fabric was the chair cushion in? I so want to stay in that hotel!

[@josephinedavidson5968]

The Chateau Diaries , In one of the very first of you Vlogs I remember yo saying how much you would love a Theatre for an Orchestra, I remember thinking to myself ! I bet she will one day so hand onto the dream Stephanie. That fabrics was at La Mirande Hotel in Auvignon in the yellow and turquoise bedroom you filmed, the cushion was on the chair and another tub chair was covered in it beside the curtain, I can’t remember the name but it is a high end house ! Tried to track it down ! Jo

[@luciaroslingshaw2112]

Thank you for another great history lesson!!

[@jitaamesuluma9730]

i love the call of the peacock , its such a beautiful sound

[@rostallar4243]

The history lessons on these blogs is really informative & very interesting!

[@iranNproud]

Love soaking up the history and adventures with you all. And the letter box is absolutely wonderful!

[@LL-sq8se]

[@TheChateauDiaries]

[@Kels0423]

Re-watching every single one and I love and miss how close you and Marie were!!!

[@Burbankelly]

That did look so much like Lalande! Wow! At first I actually did think it was Lalande! The chapel was gorgeous just like Mummy at the foot of the stairs!

[@ehpeachylove]

Ben and Grant are so handsome and great worker bees. The mailbox is beautiful and so much better than the metal box. Love the garden boxes too. Mummy and Percy are adorable together, I enjoy all the folks that come to this beautiful château.😘🍷🍷🍷🍷

[@RalphTGP]

Ben & Grant, men who know how to eat.

[@evelyncortez8643]

And in the background a peacock. Just another day at the chateau. Simply love it!

[@chattykathie7129]

Delightful discovery. I’m binging and feeling very French haha!

[@18daisydoll65]

Ha! In the hotel room there is a beautiful cushion on the right. I have a scrap (large scrap) of that fabric. It's in a slightly different colour way. I'm inspired to get on and use it now. Fabulous vlog 💐

[@annabeltutt8745]

My form mistress and Maths teacher paid for me to go on a school trip Arles for a week! I went to a South London Girls school of a 1000 pupils. Remember going to the Palace in Avignon ... I was amazed to be taken to several wine tasting events at 15...loved it..returned to lovely memories

[@banitesscruz9771]

I love Percy in his suit beside David in his lycra and towel 😀 The tour of Avignon was very informative and fits perfectly into the vlog.

[@charleswalker1185]

[@LA-jf1zn]

[@catherinedurbin9298]

I received my first parcel in the new post box today. It was a very exciting moment.

[@amandavanlingen1768]

I just love checking-in every Thursday 💛. So enjoyable, funny & interesting Stephanie 🌸 Thank you. Love the new Post Box.

[@hectorbrown656]

Hello Stéphanie , well i have kept to what I said and have saved up your weekly episodes to be able to watch 5 of them this evening . It was easier this time as I had my nephew and niece from Scotland and my 15 year old granddaughter from Tahiti on holiday .Maureen

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I wish I had your patience, Maureen! I always watch episodes of tv shows the minute they appear, and then wish I’d saved them all up!

[@rose-marie7351]

i love the "new" letter box!!! You make me want to go back shopping in fripperie like I did in my twenties.... need to find a good one though! These moutons! I want to come the chateau just to see them and the paon!!!

[@ntakovacj3644]

what does Mummy say about 8:38? This is after she says "There are no standards in this house" then "it fits"

[@wendypanozzo9133]

So much fun! You have the best people around you.

[@TheChateauDiaries]

I really do, I feel so lucky to live with this group of lovely people 💛

[@sarahburton3110]

Love the new letterbox 💚💚

[@valeriejohnson5283]

Oh my goodness! Stephanie I thought you were standing by a MIRROR in the still shot you have on vlog #70, but it was you and Marie showing your matching bathing suits. You looked so much alike. Are you sure your not long lost sisters?! 😂😂😂🙃🥀🥀🥀🌴🌴🌴 Btw...I love the new letter box too!!

[@marilynryan7822]

[@SuperInfinity888]

I just loved this video Stephanie, And I love the dress you was wearing in the early part of the video. 😊❤️

[@TheChateauDiaries]

That dress is from Zara! I think I’d wear it every day if I could 😂

[@FrugalOverFifty]

The information about the plague is so chilling these days. It would be good to have that pope back to add a note of rationality to all that's going on now.

[@RolaCaro]

Here's a link to the previous visit of Stephanie & Isabelle to Avignon. Runs from 11:45 to about 16:45 of this vlog - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6a6pKVmj6pko5I
