Stephanie & Michaels hugs were the best .. aww ❤

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Billey loved the dron shot in the air never saw Stephanie's Barn opened like that along with the entrance of Cheatue. That was nice of you to find Alexander a place to stay longer. I love how all of you Cheatue owners have all become very good friends.

[@Rye_Toast]

I just realized why I'm so drawn to your channel, the community you foster between your friends and family is exactly what me and my friends have jokingly said we want to do: buy a big piece of property and all live on it. Here in a way you and your friends are doing that. I love that.

[@thirdonetoo1212]

How lovely to see Stephanie and Michael’s heartfelt hugs. Hope they can spend more time together soon.

[@bigmamma6946]

Agreed I miss Michael so much 😢

[@beefrench3554]

So happy you filmed stephanie $ Michael Hugging. Two of the best film clips ever !

The band is back together, Stephanie and Michael so so awesome ....

[@jolindo6724]

Friends that are family are gold.... priceless and true community. You all have created a beautiful lifestyle for yourselves and your homes nurture that....warms my heart to see them renovated and being used as the ought to be....what they were built for, so uplifting

[@beiderbecke1927]

Alexander could not have landed in a better place, he'll love it there. I so admire his fashion sense, and impeccable grooming. I feel like a knuckle dragging slob by comparison. Thanks for sharing this with us, it was lovely.

I remember watching Stephanie's and Michael's advent calendar. It was what made me love both of them. This video made me emotional, I want to see them together more! These two love each other so much and I need that kind of energy. It warms my heart. As for Alexander, as one of the Chateau Diaries subscriber, I'll be seeing a lot of him and we promise we will be good to him!

[@sabrinasouth5989]

Yes their advent was what got me into watching the channel. I so hope Michael gets back into making more videos.

[@jenniferc2023]

I agree! They are so amazing together! I’m watching it twice just to see them again. Haha

[@katherinehunter5789]

Alexander is so lucky to have such good friends. He will love it at Stephanie’s. He’ll be such a big help to her.

[@amalilconfused]

It so nice to see Stephanie, Billy, and Michael in one video again. I discovered Lalande because of Michael’s channel and also grew to love This channel because it. With the Grand Salon coming to completion, I can imagine Alexander will have a lot of things (sewing) to do to occupy his time.

[@peterwhite9261]

Alexander will be well cared for at Lalande. So tender seeing him cry saying bye. He is a very sweet man. So great Micheal and you guys got to see Stephanie. We got our first snowfall putting me in the xmas mood.

[@ruthiepooh86]

I bet Stephanie will make use of Alexander’s sewing skills. She’s got lots of fabric and ideas for using it.

[@LW62FL]

Esp. that pink toile!! Lots of lovely ideas!!

[@sandyk7281]

Yes!! Can't wait to see what they do!

[@hkoepfle]

[@gardenlady1293]

OMG! you re-homed Alexander! I hope his new home works out. Stephanie is such a good hostess! So glad to see Mike and her together!

[@lindamitman4538]

Pretty sure Alexander is going to have a wonderful time at La Lande. Such a wonderful community of people there. I did get emotional seeing Michael and Stephanie reunited. Great friendships like theirs are really special. I imagine Alexander will have lots to keep him busy at La Lande. I can’t wait to see how he and Philip get on with decorating especially for Christmas.

[@karinbergman1646]

What a wonderful reunion. It's always lovely and heartwarming to see the De La Basmagniers and the LaLanders together. And Alexander is so dear. We must keep him in France for as long as he wants to stay. He's so very talented. I think he will do well under Stephanie's aegis! Where is Ryan? I wish he could get his manoir. It's beautiful, do-able and so near Basmagnier. Thank you! 🙏🏻🌷💗🌷🙏🏻

[@BenHikesOutdoors]

How refreshing it is to see people being nice and friendly to each other on the internet. Only found your channel a couple of weeks ago and I just smile the whole time watching your videos. Inspiring, charming, often educational and always entertaining. Thanks for sharing x

[@wiguy3462]

Two generous and lovely families who inspire us. Blessings to you.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Alexander is a very special and talented young man. I have no doubt he will work his magic and transform the curtains at Lalande. Stephanie made a great decision here, she won't regret having Alexander for a while. It will showcase his brilliance, so other chateau owners might require his services. Win win for everyone.😊

[@jfs59nj]

Excellent. Alexander at Lalande! He’ll be great there. There’s so much he can do

[@claudiayamada8377]

Alexander will be the new star ⭐️ of Chateau Diaries! He’s so talented and creative. I wish him happiness there ❤

[@blueice011]

Aw, Alexander will have lovely time in Laland for sure. Plenty of things to inspire his creativity, plenty of windows that needs his magic touch and many interesting people to get to know. Feels like Laland may be right up his alley with vivid, eclectic vibe and lively energy throughout the day, with gatherings and many activities to take part in and to enjoy.

I can't be the only one who has missed seeing Michael in the Chateau Diaries. It's great to see him there again. He seems like a wonderful person .

[@triciawallace9015]

Alexander is going to love being at La Lande. He’ll have a wonderful time with Stephanie and Philip. They’ll treat him like royalty and he’ll have fun making things for the Château. It was so nice to see Michael and Stephanie together again. It was so cute that Stephanie kept getting caught on film because she’s usually the person filming and she’s not used to being filmed. Her reaction was priceless.

Alexander is so cool. I simply love him. He is very genuine and so stylish. You will miss him, but at least he will come back in the spring. And he really is a member of your family. So hurray for Stephanie for providing him a place, so he can stay in France and at the same time be a big help to her in all her endeavors that she needs to get done at her Chateau. Loved seeing Michael and her hugging. It is so heartwarming to watch them. They truly have a wonderful, and loving friendship. This was a great video. Thanks for sharing. 💞💞

[@teresapatterson1253]

So sad to see Alexander leave the château. Surely he had more curtains to make and windows to clean ❤️🥰

You can also ask Edd and Anna if Alexander can make some curtains or fix the ones they have for their new passion project. It makes sense.

[@nokesbob2256]

Alexander is part of this huge Chateau group that I watch. I will miss him here, but I watch Stephanie also. Alexander is so gifted and artistic that he will do well at la Lande. I can't wait to see what he will do there. I can see that Alexander is a good friend of your whole family and will be missed. I can say from my heart that if you treated Alexander with indifference and did not take care of this friend, I would not be watching your channel. Thank goodness you are all big hearted and give from your hearts and take care of each other. That's the most important thing of all.

Lovely to see Alexander is going to Lalande. Can see lots of wonderful fabric projects happening . I’m sure I t’ll be a mutually beneficial stay. ❤

I’ve been hoping to see Alexandre go to Stephanie’s. Every time she mentions something about textiles, I can’t help but think of how well he would get on there. And now that they have the wood burners, he should be nice and warm. 🎉
