Yes, Selmar always looks quite remarkable & stylish in his🎈festive🎈 chateau attire. He has good taste & polishes up wonderfully well. As the equally elegant Oliver commented, Selmar managed to stow a lot fab fashions in his camper 🚙 too. 🛍He packed perfectly for his French adventure abroad.💟🤗💟

What I admire about Miss Isabelle. 1. She is a lady of few words. 2. What she says is memorable. 3. Her most profound words were, " You are my child." ...

[@rayn8740]

Watching Isabelle "watering" the garden reminded me of poor Jean de Florette watering his carnations. LOL! She's so adorable.

It’s been absolutely wonderful watching the fabulous and suspenseful journey of our beautiful and multitalented Chatelaine Stephanie, and her life at the Chateau de Lalande . I’ve been subscribing since only 4.k subscribers and I love the fact that your viewer count for each episode of TCD has more than quadrupled in the past 7 months since the Advent calendar vlogs of sometimes 1.5k views to now over 5and 6 k viewers per video!!

[@mildredmartinez8041]

Dear Stephanie, every time I watch a new installment on your Channel I find myself smiling really smiling. And caught up in the joy. I like many others who watch your channel discovered you during the stay-at-home order here in New York. I am working from home until September so I watch your videos to catch up and I love watching them. Your laughter, joy and kindness are so infectious if that's a good thing that people want to catch and spread. Thank you for showing us a little glimpse into your life at the Chateau and for just being a positive influence on KZbin. I do not have any plans to go to France right now as I have my own dreams of buying a small home of my own to fix that. But for me it will be in Puerto Rico. I am born and raised in New York I live in Manhattan and although I love the city it's sometimes is too much. I've been dreaming and planning for the last year and looking for properties. This year I was supposed to go back to look at places for sale but due to the stay-at-home orders and the traveling Ban, I cannot do that. I don't plan on living there full-time I just want have a home that is mine that I can renovate. I want to be able to have my family and my friends to share it with me. Watching you has given me more inspiration. I love how you can find things within the Chateau and bring life to them to create your home bit by bit. Thank you again.

[@melaniecross8369]

What a lovely comment Mildred. Theses videos bring me so much joy also. All the very best in getting your own home - your own mini chateau ❤️
