CLEARING THE GRAND SALON!!!

[@MAC-op5fc]

Love Oliver's voice. Reminiscent of the wonderful Alan Rickman.

[@energygirl9588]

Oliver is seriously my favorite man on here. He is so gentle, a good husband and I always enjoy his conversations and interactions. He was a total 10, even before getting in shape.

[@donnateatro2962]

I agree Oliver ìs aristocratic Funny and very attractive,

[@amyschneidhorst1384]

I adore how much satisfaction Amaury gets from having everything in its place!

[@carolynshepherd4153]

Forgive me for stating the obvious, but Stephanie’s cousin is A TOTAL DREAMBOAT, am I right???!!!

[@taitweigel64]

Stephanie, you have the best men friends and the most lovely women friends. All so gifted and willing to make your dreams come true.

[@collfoxley2658]

Oliver, Dan and Amaury in one episode.... oh joy!!

Absolutely

[@catherimecornick1179]

Yes so true

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Great vlog tonight Stephanie. You live your life at a million miles an hour, just take care please, we would all be devastated if anything untoward happened. The Grand Salon is going to be spectacular. Needs a special opening when it is done. We all just know Amaury is going to do the conversion of the century. Why don't you donate one months' chateau unwrapped to your local community hub. Charity begins at home. I would watch it twice if it helps.

[@cecilea6938]

Yes I agree, it would be nice to give one month to the village hub :)

[@christinevr7698]

I completely agree. Your community needs that centre; donations from the Chateau Unwrapped would help them a lot!

[@snoopybluejeans]

That's a fantastic idea.

[@kellykienleitner3386]

Great idea 💡 supporting locally. I vote yes 👍

Amaury is the Willy Wonka of the carpentry world! Epic workshop.

[@endeavouringit]

I seriously cannot believe how much work Amaury has done in his workshop, bloody brilliant, especially along with everything else he has touched since he's been there, just amazing, a true workhorse, along with Dan !!!!!

[@138NastyNate]

Amaury finally has his proper shop....Looks great mate I know you will enjoy it. Well done Amaury!

[@kimberly_erin]

This is classic Dan.

[@michaelt8727]

I'm so exited, for two reasons actually. I can see the light at the end of the Grand Salon, and it's wonderfully warm and inviting. Along with the fact that I'm now at vlog number 283 of 293, and soon to officially become a full-fledged Lalander.

[@carolynshepherd4153]

I’m a huge fan of Oliver in any and all incarnations!!

[@christineatkinson1425]

Wow I love that workshop, Amaury is obviously a perfectionist, can’t wait to see his work on the panelling.

[@ruthiepooh86]

Much luck in reviving the village. Worthy project, for sure.

[@evmcelroy]

Dan sure cleans up nicely, doesn't he?

[@mercurialpierrot7073]

You're Dan right he does!

[@dianegriffith3006]

Yes, he does!!

Such an exciting time - Amaury's workshop is complete - the Grand Salon is ready for the Reno - the chapel restoration is about to start - let the fun begin! 🇨🇦

[@chrismaraccini8108]

Susan Knox At 3:46 there are two impressions on the outside wall of the chateau that look to be windows. These are next to the two far left windows. Does anyone know what these are?

[@saraheschweiler4939]

Wow, Amaury, what a brilliantly set-up workshop! You are an inspiration! Thank you! 🙏🌿🌷🌿🤩🌿🌷🌿🙏

[@annettesharrock1236]

Nice to see Oliver back after a long time he is looking very well. Oh who ever marries Amaury wuill have a gem of a man so neat and tidy. Well a glass of champagne is needed Stephanie now the grand salon will be started, It will be so exciting to see the progress . Nice to see some of the old faces back again. Even Dan the Man xx Loved watching.

[@pennyhoward3438]

Oh no! Must move one of the mirrors!! Never place mirrors facing each other, it opens a spiritual portal. Please move a mirror😳

[@lisainnewzealand8461]

I'm in nz, who is Oliver

[@mariannepons6016]

Amaury workshop is absolutely phenomenal, cannot wait the grand salon transformation.

[@hasret2096]

I didn't expect Oliver and am so happy he made an appearance. I got reminded what I like about him so much: he engages Steph in a similar way as she does with other people. Looking forward to your cooperation!!

[@angelatorlop4319]

Stephanie you did a great job to keep your good humour with Ollie's somewhat dubious instructions!! Amaury has the neatest and cleanest workshop I have ever seen. My husband is a cabinetmaker and I must say, his workshop is organised chaos in comparison!!

[@maryschlotter108]

It is so lovely to see Oliver. Very happy to hear the chapel restorer is coming. Amaury is so organized which is going to be so important to the restoration. He’s a joy to have isn’t he? Thank you Stephanie!

[@katj-d6885]

Great news for the chapel 😊

[@frangeorge5962]

Stephanie you got your glasses for a reason. Safety first...you drive you wear them.

[@LA-jf1zn]

I just was thinking of the chapel and about the man who was going to work on it. Such a beautiful place, lucky to have. 🦋

[@snoopybluejeans]

That's another space I can hardly wait to see renovate. That will not be an easy task or cheap. Good that he's starting with electrical and hopefully some kind of heating is in place.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

So exciting that the grande salon and the chapel projects are finally ready to get renovated. Amaury is so neat and organized. So lovely to see Oliver again. Can’t wait for Dave, Michael and Phillip to return 😍😘

[@briansilkworth5486]

I’m always left wanting more at the end; seems you’ve succeeded as a master vlogger.

[@susanduval1393]

I really look forward to watching these lovely and kind hearted folks...If only more humans were akin to their spirits..

[@imhappy3093]

I agree! It’s one of the reasons why I enjoy this vlog. Everyone is so amiable and respectful of each other and I would think that would be difficult given how many different personalities come together at any given time.

[@beautymaven3952]

The mirrors look amazing in the stairwell. Really magnifies the space and will look even better when stairwell is painted

[@snoopybluejeans]

I agree. The stairwells are quite tight and bringing mirrors into the equations, expands the space. Good call that she will leave them there.

[@josephinedavidson5968]

I am so jealous of you all being there to help ! Grand Salon will be pure heaven with Amoury’s dedicated work, I miss you all x

[@indirajane]

The chapel restorer is back just in time for Christmas! So happy to hear he recovered and is able to begin work. I'm really looking forward to seeing the restoration progress of the chapel.

[@bevtaylor2856]

Does anyone use it? Anyone religious?

[@Sgirl]

@@bevtaylor2856 Selmar did when he was there and I believe Isabelle did as well occasionally. It's been used as part of their Christmas celebration as a gathering place for carols and a priest gave mass there once. It's part of the chateau and a lovely place, worthy of preservation and restoration of its beautiful craftsmanship even if it rarely serves its original intended purpose.

[@linw7320]

Weddings 💒

[@jomeyer13]

maybe electric heaters too?

[@robwestley7370]

Sandra Westley uk, they cannot have a marriage there as it’s not registered for that, but you can have a priest do a blessing on a marriage like Stephanie’s Mummy did, it was very lovely.

“Landscaped in an odd way now”. Lol 😂 Oliver cracks me up

[@jac1797]

Yes please get the fireplace working in the Grand salon.

[@louisegatti9262]

Great content today Stephanie, really loved seeing Oliver again. You are blessed to have so many men around you to help, (perhaps your father watching over you.) Amaury's workshop sure is looking great, good to have another organizer amongst the Lalanders!!! You have so many things going on at your Chateau, I think that is a sign of a good entrepreneur! Cheers, so looking forward to seeing how the Grand Salon turns out!!!

[@soneljafourie6399]

Honestly, I've never seen such a neat workshop! No wonder you wanted your cousin to come and do the panelling!

[@rachelwyatt9529]

I love Oliver. Cannot wait to see the new channel. That driving adventure was hilarious

[@charlottelrose3221]

The mirrors add a touch of grandeur to that stairway, beautiful and perfectly suited to the space!

[@wendydennis9127]

Oliver! Well done on the weight loss! Workshop looks amazing Amaury 👍Glad you all survived that foggy drive🙈

[@Rosa7388]

There's nothing like longtime friends to put a smile on your face. Oliver's return and your foggy driving adventure has made me miss my uni days where I was almost always the designated driver in my friend group for our travels and adventures and we were forever getting lost in odd places.

[@beautymaven3952]

Wow, Oliver looks incredible 😍

[@birgittvanwijk9646]

So much energy all around, so much happening at lightening speed! How nice that Oliver is back can’t wait to see the new channel. But most exiting is the community center and bar! Stephanie, you are the Fairy Godmother behind all this happening in your community! Next year so many of your supporters and patrons will come to Crozon so that’s an enormous boost for the village. Maybe other small businesses will follow. Everything is coming up roses! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@rose-marie7351]

Nice to see Oliver! That workshop looks so professional and tidy, its wonderful! I love the new place for the mirrors, its perfect. Looking forward to see all the progress!

Phew, Dan found the illusive keys just in time. I am sure you were both very happy to be home. Great to see Oliver , all the progress in the grand salon and the good news about the chapel restorer. When it rains, it pours at LaLande. Thanks Stephanie🙏🏻❤️

[@patriciajamieson9020]

could Cadeaux sponsor the bar one month to help it get up and running? I think contributing to your community, although not a charity, is a brilliant way to help.

[@ibosquez5238]

💡 Great idea! I cast my vote for that.

Here’s hoping for the Christmas miracle! Amaury your workshop is a work of art, men all over the world are green with envy. I can’t wait to see you at work there. They should install a “Amaury cam” so we do miss a moment of an expert woodartist ( my new word) at work. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[@maggiecraigie8114]

Brilliant idea an Amaury cam, I want to see that please.

Amaury could be the host of his own DIY show helping men to learn how to properly set up their workshops and also visit and one lucky person each episode. Although, I dare say some women would want him to come to help them with their workspaces too. :)
