@@annaibarra3447 Sebastian has quite a following 🥰

[@lindascott2008]

Notice that he was hinting around TWICE in one day about Whisky? It seems like he would be thrilled to have Steph let him have some on the job, perhaps slipping a full bottle into one of the holes they've dug, which would help him keep warm. It would probably be fine when dealing with the concrete, just not any intricate work. But, alas, it would probably not be looked upon as proper. But hinting at it twice in the same day, seems like a reason for that. Long , long ago I dated a Frenchman, they sure are passionate. He seems very animated and fun to watch, a hottie for sure. There are a couple fun ones that both show up on 2 different channels, How To Renovate A Chateau and Beau Chateau.

Archaeologist here who is geeking out over the trench around the chapel! The Nadiac family would certainly have known how close to the surface the bedrock was in the area selected for the chapel. The soil would have been dug away, and the bedrock chiseled to a perfectly level surface by hand. That is excellent news for the chapel going forward. The foundation is solid, damage was and could only again be caused by the elements and time. (Or an earthquake).

[@aiglonducal314]

Who are the Nadiac family? Never heard of them.

[@yvonnesullivan4388]

Amury what a worker and a blessing

[@rayn8740]

I have to agree with other comments, Sebastian est si gentil. I love his pleasant demeanor. Rock on, Amaury! LOL! Philip, remember Stephanie's old opening, it's "not a stuffy museum." France has plenty historical museum homes. Lalande is where real people live. Warm, dry and comfortable should be top on the list. Besides, from which period does your design inspiration come, medieval, 18th century? I recommend checking out Vivienne's latest episode of Château Love. Her and her pals are in Paris for the biggest interior design event of the year. She got invited to a party at a fabulous designer's apartment, and I do mean fabulous. The masculine bedroom next to the bathroom is awesome. He's mixed periods for a less rigid and fussy, for a more personal feel. It really is sublime. Hopefully Stephanie has seen the gorgeous accents on the bedding that she can recreate with her new sewing machine. I love little Lancelot. I hope he brings you as much joy as he does me. Getting him will go down as one of the best decisions of 2023.👍À demain! ❤ from TX!

I enjoy your visits with the chapel restorers because i can test myself on how much of the French i can understand.

It is really nice seeing it written out, so you can read it in English and hear it in French. Somehow it does connect after awhile! For someone learning how to speak French can only imagine how it really would be a way for (as you have said) for anyone to find it to be, "a way to test yourself on how much you really know"

[@natasha1369]

Any one see the layer of stone just under the grass? (When the man was talking about the layers) I wonder if over time grass grew over a front stoop patio area and the grass could be pulled back to find it sitting there all this time, hidden.😊

[@LaReynedEpee]

As another person commented not long ago, it might be nice to have some sympathetic paving laid in front of the chapel, and possibly also a path from the house to the chapel.

[@SweetOne.]

At one time there would have been a path for the ladies in their long dresses to keep out of the dirt/mud on their way to and from the Chapel. A bit of exploratory excavation would be interesting to see what could be uncovered. They still have the french drain to put in so they may find more clues then.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

You're correct it was paved with stones, traditionally French chateau gardens were very formal and structured with lots of paths in stone, gravel and symmetrically planned hedges and flower beds. Not at all like the poetic meandering English garden style. That's why the newly planted bit near the chapel is "the English Garden" with its twists and turns and assymetry. The top soil like you said is from later years decomposting leaves to soil, it's a quick process.

[@MoNaBookworm]

I can’t get over the black radish! I never knew such a thing existed and it is so stark deep black but white inside. It’s amazing. Sorry for waxing poetic about a radish but that’s what I love about this channel, it opens our world up to so many new things and you always do it in such a natural fun cheery way. 🥰😘

[@jampuppy]

If I didn’t know about your Catholic roots, I would guess Amaury was Buddhist. He has such a Zen vibe about him. I don’t think an hour is a long time to choose paint. I’ve taken weeks! No chocolate is as good as my homemade chocolate! And I spent my childhood in Belgium - I know chocolate! 😋😋😋 Love the chapel updates!!! 🎉

[@trisharomance4026]

Yes, I’m enjoying this quiet time at LaLande as we can see more clearly the interaction between them all. Had to laugh at Amaury finding the paint discussion excruciating! Although he’s probably the same talking woodwork! 😂

The chapel is really coming along now, and so fast. Your cousin is amazing, doing the work he does and now the walls in a bedroom. Good on him. It will be far more comfortable in the room once it’s insulated. It’s sweet you and Philip getting to spend time together just the two of you. I imagine that doesn’t happen often. Have a wonderful night and thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@jaysmith8199]

The trench is fascinating. It does look like there was a previous building there. Perhaps you could get Sebastian to film the layers and send to an archaeologist to find out? Once concreted will be impossible to study it. Amaury is doing a fab job in the bedroom, insulating and soundproofing. Once done, never needs to be done again. 😉 I watched the beginning of Venice Carnivale last weekend. There were a lot of pirates and also rats on the boats and gondolas!

[@carolweaver3269]

Such a really nice Vlog. Loved the going back and forth from one particular job to the other and seeing how they are moving along so well! Sabastian is seems to be so much, more comfortable with the camera than in the beginning. He is great about allowing all the questions to be answered, and making sure you see all that is needed to be done of importance, as it moves along. He is enjoying it even when busy. Amaury is the same way! It is best to know and to be interested in what is happening with this and I am excited myself to see how great this Chateau will be when finished. then they may work at a few windows! I am glad as to be honest it almost will seem like they belong as part of Lalande and yet we know at some point they must move on to do other jobs with their company. But it just somehow is getting to seem natural to have them there each day! They sure to stick to the work and put their all into it! Natti keeps so busy with her accounting etc and thought it was cute when little Sir Lancelot was saying goodbye to Mollie and Nattie and Amaury, she has become quite close now to them! She knows they are ''cousins!'' She can tell relatives! But she jumped on her little stool/Bed when she thought you wer saying she may want to go with them. LOL ( You would not like it one bit though, if she ever decided to do it! Stephanie and Philip would truly miss her, if spending a night with Mollie and family when she could be home with her own dad and mom! The meal Philip made looked so delicious, even if left over and you know sometimes that can be one of the nicest meals of all! Thank you for another great chance to be part of the family, and enjoy a little bit of the, life at Chateau de LaLande!

[@patrickdemarcevol]

une salade frisée is called curly chicory. It's a very big chicory with plenty of leaves that you tie up when growing so the center leaves stay a whity yellow. Slightly bitter but great for the 'Frisée aux lardons', a famous salad with lardons, hard boiled eggs and garlic croûtons. And a vinaigrette of course! You can also add cured duck magret, it's sooooo good!

Paint is tricky light time of day makes a big difference when picking paint for 49 studebaker pickup we wanted white pearl on lower and cranberry metallic on the top ! The white pearl has so many different bases yellow pink kind of a grey so went to dealerships on clear blue sky and fresh white snow to make sure found white Diamond pearl from general motors and perfect no pink it has a bit of yellow but the cranberry balances it out costly mistake if did not like cost 13 thousand dollars to paint 20 years ago now probably 20 thousand dollars ! My husband always not sure colours and he would want to choose right aware but know I would put up samples in each room and wait a week look at the colours different times make him also look at the colours with me so both were happy ! Never had to repaint anything always told Joe to trust me he was always happy with the end result! Amaury is a blessing Such a talented craftsman!

Stephanie, that big hole in the ground against the chapel IS a trench, in English. We probably got it from that very similar French word you used for it when you were out there.

Hello from PEI Canada. Hi Jack from Ottawa. We are very cold here especially by the water,a minus 17.
