CHAMPAGNE OR PROSECCO? with

- HAPPY NEW YEAR! We've been saving a few special surprises for you... Firstly, Simon and I are finally home long enough to decorate and prepare for the holidays. This month we've shown you holiday inspirations from New York to Lisbon to San Juan. However, as we are still within the 12 Days of Christmas, we are continuing the festivities by finally sharing our own cooking, shopping and decorating creativity at home. Will Simon and I actually fly inside of a magic Christmas tree? What is that crazy thing Simon is doing to the turkey? Do we really have 5 Christmas trees at home? Will I have time to make homemade natural ornaments? In celebration of the New Year, we also flash back to this summer when our friends from the Chateau de Lalande joined my sister Ashley and me in Cortona, Italy (Tuscany) for an unforgettable holiday, including an evening where we blind-taste-tested Champagne versus Prosecco. Could we tell the difference? Which did we prefer? There is no better time than now to take the Champagne Prosecco Challenge and dream of a little sunshine!! The holidays aren't over...Grab a glass of something bubbly and join us for some very sparkling @ChateauLove !!
ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, pets, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 20 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 18 years, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

I can't think of anything more wonderful than spending the Christmas season in Tuscany and the Loire Valley. Your chateau could not be more beautiful. The Christmas decorations made your chateau the most gorgeous chateau in the Loire Valley. You both have superb taste. Thank you for transporting me to paradise on Earth!

Lovely story, so well created and smoothly edited! Didn't realize you live near Tours. Hope to visit the ancestral home of my DeLoach relatives there one day.
Best wishes for a wonderful 2022!
What a great idea to ride in a bauble!
Your sister has an angelic voice! Loved the "That's Amore" rendition. Beautiful. Also - where there is champagne, I am unsurprised that Michael Potts and Stephanie will be there! Fun vlog.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👐👏👏👏
Love your sister's voice, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for a beautiful ride of memories of your Chateau. God bless you all. Have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year.
Love the gold magnolia and walnuts decorated tree. I also thought the Prosecco was the first glass. I actually prefer it. Table scape was lovely. Wow what a lot of trees.
Since I do my tree on the 23rd, I let the decorations inspire for at least 12 days… thank you for sharing this well-rounded view of your holiday decorating, food, drink and family music! Best Wishes for 2022! Salut 🥂✨
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there💛💛💛💛
I miss travel so much, in the meantime these vlogs make me very happy.
Love the soft colors in your home. Your eyes flow effortlessly from room to room without having your eyes jarred by dramatic color changes .❤️ Everything ties together and you see the treasures in each room, instead of the paint!
Thank you, Susan! That was very intentional, and it’s lovely that you noticed. 🥰Smaller spaces (in my opinion) need some continuity. 🏰💖
That was a wonderful vlog Vivienne! Perhaps my most favorite yet🤩 I am beyond impressed with the plates you painted, they are exquisite! You are incredibly talented!!! Happy new year🔔🎶⛄🧚♀️🍹🦄🌞
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👏👏👏
That was just delicious Vivienne ☺️ Delicious content, food & people 🥰 Wishing you all a Happy New Year 🥂 Your videos are pure joy … thank you ❤️
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👏👏👏

All my very wishes to you, Simon and Isabella!

Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👋👏👏
@@bryanjaon2550 thank you for asking, we are ok but returning to normal is slow after so much lockdown (i live in melbourne) we are all very cautious. Hope you are safe also.
I love the idea of a tree with two sides. That is awesome.
Brilliant idea putting a tree on a table between two rooms and decorating each side differently. Your hand painted plates are superb. Lovely 🥰 video. Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!! That Christmas tree ride is fantastic!!! Wow!!! Vivienne my mother was china painter and I am gobsmacked by your talent! You're such lovely people. Thank you.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there 👐👏👏👏👏

Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👏👋👋👋
What a Beautiful Christmas 🎄 and New Year gift to us, sharing thus oh, so lovely chateau decorations with the Christmas theme! Praise be to God! Would be Lovely if you have bigger nativity where the statues are from Tuscany, similar to Fontanini statues. It's very fitting indeed to have Nativity for The Holy Family and Jesus is the reason for the Season, and Never a " Holiday!" Happy New Year!!!, and Thank you for this lovely vlog.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👏👋👋👏
Thank you for sharing the love this New Year. Have a Happy New Year and we'll see you again in 2022.
What a wonderful vlog to wake up to on the first day of 2022! Absolutely enchanting to see your home and all the lovely Christmas decorations! It makes me want to get a couple of more trees!!!!!! Thank you so much and I must say that I really missed your vlogs over the last couple of months, but this one knocked it out of the park: I always learn something brand new when tuning in! Cheers to you, Simon and sweet Isabella in this new year!
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there💜💜💜💜
What a delight to watch your last two shows (back-to-back)! A little beauty and light goes a long way in a world gone mad. Your bird plates are STUNNING.
Thank you so much, dear friend. It makes me so happy knowing you are watching. These videos started as a way to connect with friends and family (and friends who are like family), and it is a joy to know that this is still the case. 💖💖💖💖💖
Oh Vivienne, the bird dinner plates are fabulous! I'm sure Stephanie and Philip appreciated all the work that went into making them, they really are special... and I bet I'm not the only one who would love to see you working on the next ones.... A beautiful family and friends vlog, filled with Christmas goodies. I ran out of time over the holidays, so getting to watch some vlogs now, is like having a second Christmas! Hope you're having a great start to 2022. Denise, Sydney. 🦘
Thank you, Denise! Happy New Year to you. 🥰
Thank you for this beautiful video, the music brought me to tears. Happy Christmas and Happy New Year, with Chateau LOVE.
Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there👐👏👏👏👏
So beautiful in so many ways! Your dehydrated citrus and magnolia leaves turned out fabulous! Your painted bird plates are incredible, as well as the natural themed decorations! But your family's lovely singing made my heart swell at the remembrance of the reason for the season! That line, " God and sinners reconciled..." ! Without the coming of the Savior we would be so very lost! It's been a very very difficult year for so many of us, and without the comfort, strength and hope that we have in Jesus in a very personal way, I can't imagine how people do it! Well, thanks again! Till next time, Happy New Year!
