  • During Amaury’s and Sabina’s first Cadeaux, we receive some incredible and thoughtful gifts…
    Michael Bergantino’s surgery fundraiser: www.paypal.com...
    In 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', all of the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to open beautiful gifts that people have sent from all over the world. All of the monetisation from these videos will be donated to a different charity each month. CZcams earnings fluctuate wildly each month, as ad revenue changes throughout the year. Here are the charities that we've donated to so far:
    July 2020:
    British Heart Foundation UK (in memory of my father) €634
    August 2020:
    Alzheimer's Research UK (in memory of all of the residents of my parents' nursing homes) €350
    September 2020:
    Prostate Cancer Foundation (in memory of Selmar's father) €1,255
    October 2020:
    Medecins sans Frontieres (chosen by my mother to support vaccinations in Africa) €942 (equivalent to 426 cholera vaccinations)
    November & December 2020 & Jan & Feb 2021:
    A Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa R100,000 (approx €5,800)
    March 2021:
    Suffolk Artlink £1,505
    April 2021:
    Association Petit Prince €1,689
    May 2021:
    Melanoma Focus €1,204
    June 2021:
    Aide aux Jeunes Diabétiques €1,735
    July, August & September 2021:
    The 2nd year of the Lalande Fashion Scholarship for a student at the Villioti Fashion Institute in South Africa R100,000 (approx €5,800)
    October 2021:
    A La Bonne Vauvre (our local Crozon sur Vauvre community centre) €3,184
    November 2021:
    Techo €2,709
    December 2021:
    Genesis Hope El-Roi Baby Home ZAR90,000 (€5,248.01)

    January 2022:
    We Are Here Venice €2,000
    February 2022:
    Red Cross for Ukraine €2019
    I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
    It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
    If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

    I'll be checking out Micheal's fundraiser. When I was at Lalande and told Amaury that my asthma inhaler in the US cost 300$ he was rightfully appalled - the same inhaler was 8$ at a French pharmacy. It's hard for the rest of the world to imagine what American's have to pay for basic healthcare much less catastrophic care - even with insurance. I just want to point out that last Christmas you featured some clips of Isabelle and Percy giving food and gifts to the homeless in South Africa. I was so moved by this. And equally moved by the video of Gerald attending the art show of another charity recipient. I would love to see more Chateau Unwrapped content about the charities you support. It's important work you're doing with this channel.

      The reason the cost is so high in the USA is we are the only country that allows pharmaceutical companies to recoup development costs. Therefore we pay outrageous amounts for medication so the rest of the world doesn’t have to.

    Watching all your videos is so amazing and sad. It highlights the limits of foods we have around our area. Plus the great friendship and laughter is something I would love to have but I don’t have a chateau to draw people into. I live vicariously with all of you.

    What truly exquisite gifts for everyone. 😍
    It’s a wonderful thing you devised with these vlogs Stephanie and so generous in donating the revenue to charity - an angel all year round for a lot of these causes, not just at Christmas! Wishing you all blessings and a happy Christmas and thank you for all the hard work you put in to make these entertaining (and addictive) Chateau diaries. 🥰🎄🙏🏻🌟🎁

    1:40 AM here in Washington, DC. My name is Carol, and I’m a Château de Lalande addict. If you’re reading this, SEND HELP! Maybe there’s a 12 step program? A patch? Not sure what rehab would be like…I’m guessing I’d have to watch videos extolling the virtues of minimalism…😱

      Hi, Carol…first, you have to admit you have a problem, so congrats, first step done! Then, skip remaining steps and just be glad it’s not heroin! It’s a bit hard coming down from advent season, but as long as the supplier holds out (Stephanie), we’ll be ok.

    I still collect vintage and new quality writing paper and enjoy long distance correspondence with treasured friends. I learned to love quality paper and proper letter writing at a job using typewriters many years ago. There’s nothing quite so beautiful as a well written letter on soft stationery .

So many projects going on.....the paneling in the grand salon...Nati's appartement...the china room (floor). Narnia does need a lamppost and maybe some fur coats and leaves on the floor. Hope the Chapel gets an episode for Christmas. Heartfelt thanks and keep safe. Joyeux Noel!!

      @@arnicepernice8656 you really have a problem with their age difference. No one knows what calls people together, or what stirs the heart in others. They seem happy together. In this world happiness is a gift that is sometimes found in unusual places. But sadly not everyone is lucky enough to find. I hope that you find your happiness.

    Years ago I had a rock climbing partner who imported fresh herb and truffles from France into Toronto for the fine restaurants. He would go to the airport and pick up the herbs and the Truffles and if any of the truffles were not restaurant-quality he would give me one. He would hand me a little black ball wrapped up in tinfoil. We climbed at an indoor Climbing Gym in Toronto and after climbing on Wednesday nights we would walk across the street to the Real Jerk which is a very famous Jamaican restaurant in Toronto. We went every Wednesday night for 10 years so I was well known by the staff. One night post climbing after being given the truffle in tinfoil we were sitting in the restaurant and I had the tinfoil open and I was cutting the truffle in half in order to share it with a friend. The waitress walked up to our table, saw what I was doing and made the craziest face. Upon seeing her face I quickly realized that she didn't know I was cutting a black truffle and she thought I was doing a drug deal by cutting a piece of black hash in the restaurant. I quickly told her it wasn't what she was thinking and explained that it was a truffle. We didn't get thrown out of the restaurant or arrested. I think all Nanaimo bars should have a side order of insulin they are such a sweet treat. Merry Christmas from Toronto
