I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stephanie is writing, producing, filming, acting, editing, staging, and airing an entire TV show on her own. I'm so pleased she has Philip helping her with the filming and editing now, and Natti is behind the scenes. Stephanie was born for a career in film media and she has accomplished this on her own with no training, no BBC, and no Hollywood. Best thing on KZbin! Bravo.

[@wagnervoss9994]

You're absolutely right.

[@jeanninef2110]

I agree 100%!! Bravo Stephanie! Remember to take care of yourself too! ❤️

[@evealexandra4367]

Except it’s not a TV Show and it’s not entirely “acted”. It’s people’s life ❤️

The Chateau Diaries KZbin, Chateau de LaLande, and Chateau Unwrapped

[@carolehanrahan]

I've never been one of those people who think that vloggers just talk into a camera and post it and make a ton of money but, good Lord, I had no idea how exhausting the whole process actually is!!!!! I was exhausted by the end of day 3 and was wondering how in the world you manage to keep going. It was very informative and also a sweet walk down memory lane to see all of those lovely people who aren't at the Chateau right now. Much love to you and my eternal gratitude for putting all of those hours of hard work into making the best channel on KZbin.

[@mariapetras5835]

🙏✨❤️

[@snoopybluejeans]

Me either. Two channels plus chateau renos . Yikes. No wonder Stephanie needed bed rest.

[@bellaluna321]

She does 5 vlogs a week ... That's A LOT at least compared to other KZbinrs I watch! She's practically a daily vlogger! Most channels I watch put out 2-3 videos a week so I cannot imagine finding time to film and edit 5 . Editing is what is so time consuming so yeah. I hope she knows she doesn't have to overwork herself for viewers and can take breaks and change schedule as she pleases, as so many other channels do!

[@hootenanny1001]

You’ve made us realise quite how much we miss Mummy, Percy, Kat and the delightful Hanni .......just hope that all of them will be reunited at the chateau very soon

[@murielkramer7674]

Where did Kat go?

[@hootenanny1001]

She went back to the UK for Christmas with her family and got stuck in lockdown. Lockdown has lifted in the UK ,but now there’s one in France......plus we’ve had Brexit😨 I do believe her intention was to return to France in the New Year. Grrr, to COVID🥶

It says a lot about you and what you have created that such remarkably lovely people are drawn to LaLande. You all know how to work hard toward a shared vision, as well as how to celebrate each other and your accomplishments.

I feel absolutely guilty that Stephanie works so hard for us. Is this why she was in hospital? From sheer exhaustion!? Please take care Stephanie!❤

Sheer exhaustion ? Are you serious ?

[@tiffanychappel6294]

I think it would be difficult to have no clear line between work time and personal time. You pull everything together so well, but my head is spinning for you. It must be extremely challenging to always be living through the camera lens. I do appreciate you sharing so much with us.

Stephanie, NOW I understand what must have been part of what caused you to go to hospital. I also understand how worth it everything you’ve done has been and continues to be. I am a grandmother of nearly 70. Your vlogs have brought such new life to my world. I have dreamt of visiting Great Britain, France, and other European countries my entire life. Circumstances have made that only a dream. I studied French for 8 years, Spanish and Italian for one year each whilst in school. Your vlogs have made it possible to be in France as though I were vacationing with all the wonderful people at LaLande. Experiencing tours of fabulous historical and cultural history I’ve dreamt of. How can I begin to express my gratitude for all your hard work. To see LaLande become the place you’ve dreamt it could be, soldiering on by yourself for so long through many winters. This is a gift to those of us who love your spirit and have come to love you. Thank you a million times over. Were I a person of means I would become a patron in a heartbeat. Bless you Stephanie. Please take care of yourself so that those of us who may never have the opportunity to actually meet you may continue to have the pleasure of you channels!

Just wanted to tell KZbin ..... hey KZbin I hope you're listening ....that it was because of you Stephanie and Chateau Diaries that I watch KZbin more than television these days. You have absolutely made our 3 lockdowns in Toronto easier. I live by myself so am quite envious of the lovely world you have created. You deserve every penny you have earned from KZbin as you obviously work really hard editing and filming. Keep up the great work!!! VIVE LALANDE!!!!
