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, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, 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!

💕Wow how exciting & such beautiful costumes💕
You know it was a great party when your feathers start to flop. You both looked amazing and a great time was had by all!
💖💖💖
😂
You two are adorable
Well done for holding out till the morning. Thanks for taking us along. 🥰🥰
This comment gave me quite a giggle; I think I might have to add it to my favorite sayings wall:)
Your costumes were so impressive, absolutely spectacular! You both looked so radiant and beautiful. All you needed was a bottle of champagne and two glasses under your skirt, so you wouldn't have to wait in that champagne line. What a night and you made it to sunrise! Thank you for the gorgeous video, we love you!
Haha! I actually said the same thing to Simon! I could smuggle a bottle (or two) in the panniers!! 😂😂🏰💖
Bonjour Vivienne, and Simon, the costumes were made by Vivienne's fair talented hands, I can't believe the daylight you have for 9pm. You both look incredible. I may never have never seen Versailles at night, if you didn't bring us along. You both have officially become the rock superstars of France. LOL, I need one more all-nighter in my life and you just gave it to me. "YAY" it's morning. I love you guys. Many thanks, love from N.Y.
Thank you, Joni! We love you, too!! 😁😁😁🥰🥰💖💖
What is this Italians Do It Best?!? The French Do It Best!! So satisfying to watch. Thank you for holding out till the morn.’ Amazing!!
Wow what a night. You and Simon really know how to enjoy a party. What a great vlog. Thanks for letting us share your wonderful Christmas gift from Simon. X🇨🇮
We are so happy you were able to join us! 😁🏰💖
This was totally a different vibe than what I had imagined at a Versailles gala 😮
I'm disappointed there were no minuets! :-)
Yes, it was a surprise for us too! There is another ball called the “Fete Galante” in the Hall of Mirrors which is all Baroque. I would love to go to that one day! 🏰💖
I was very surprised that just as they walked in it was a bunch of aliens and Satan horns. It reminded me of some clubs in Vegas.
Bonjour my darlings Versailles here we come oooh lalaaa you both look ravishing Vivienne your hair is exquisite Simon just the gentleman let’s go and dance the night away amidst glamour intoxicating orange blossom hypnotising music I’d be sleeping under The Versailles stars hair lopsided dress askew from dancing oops watch those stairs more wine my love😀😍😍👌Simon the sun is rising cups of coffee and appertiser a perfect end to a fabulous rave at Versailles a lovely bath awaits into bed La vie en rose Thankyou my darlings inviting me into your magical world enchante 💖💖😘😘😍😍👌👌🌟🌟💃🏻💃🏻🍸🍸
You summed it up perfectly, Brenda! 😁😁😁🥰🥰🥰🏰🏰🏰💖💖💖💖
What a very special gift from Simon❤❤It's how I would have imagined a party in Versailles!! You both look marvelous ( costumes are amazing again Vivienne!!❤) Im so impressed you pulled an all nighter!
Thank you, Kelly! We weren’t sure we’d make it! 🏰💖
It was a great treat to see Versailles at night in celebration/party vibe🎉 your costumes were fabulous! To think that you made those-wow! Thank you so much for filming🥰🌹
I hate to say it but I think you outclassed the party givers! I love that you took us along on such a romantic night. You are the best!❤❤
Oh what a lovely compliment! We felt that we were barely keeping up (both in costumes and energy)! 😂😂💖🏰
Wow what a grand night
Wow! ❤🧡💛💜💙
You both looked wonderful! I’m not just saying this, but your costumes were definitely in the top tier! Vivienne, the “Mother of Dragons” herself never looked so good in that wig and never let it be said that Phillip is the only man in the crew that can rock long curls…Simon is simply spectacular when he lets his hair down! Congratulations on pulling an all-nighter, kids! ☕️ 🥐 🌞
Haha! I’m with them both right now and will very much enjoy reading them this message! 😂😂😁🥰🏰
Hi Vivienne & Simon, Le Grand Bal Masqué du Château de Versailles is quite the event to attend, but not for the faint of heart. Maybe one of these days...Mark & Scott
Every time I watch your videos, and hear the romantic prelude sung by your sister, I think to myself, this song was written specifically for you both Vivienne and Simon!
Loved seeing you both so happy having another enchanting all nighter! I just adore the bird in the feathers!
Thank you so much, Deborah! 🏰💖
That looked like a fantastic event! Good on you for partying til dawn!
In the grandest setting, a masked ball did unfold.
With disco tunes to savour and outfits rather bold.
The strobo lights kept flashing and wigs became undone, the crowds were in a frenzy, enjoying all the fun.
Infused with flowing champagne, the revellers gave way, snogging in the bushes, quite merry all the way.
King Louis would applaud them, this way his heart‘s desire, just party to the fullest and set the crowds on fire. 👑👑
Simon does know how to pick a ball and Vivian is constantly on top of the wardrobe. 👏🏻👏🏻
You are the dream team for elaborate festivities. 🎭
Ahh! You have made my night! Just read your poem to Simon. Bravo!! Merci beaucoup!! 😁😁😁🥰🏰💖
@@ChateauLove You are very welcome. It‘s a small token of appreciation for all of your hard work. 😊
What an amazing experience it must have been, and once again, your costume creations were incredibly skilled and made you both look simply beautiful !
And yet, I was expecting some elegant dancing to some music by Lully, and the loud modern hits and strobe lighting at times felt rather jarring against the historical surroundings and the ornate costumes of the dancers. At least, we could almost smell the citrus trees and after all, it was only a modern make believe.
Yes, indeed! Versailles does also hold a “classic” ball of baroque music and dancing called the “Fete Galante”. It would be incredible to attend that one day, too! 🏰💖
You did outlived the young kids way to go
Your costumes were glorious and you’re real troopers for lasting until dawn! You would have won a contest!! It was absolutely beautiful at Versailles but I wouldn’t want to be there in the heat in those clothes for hours. We always go in September or early October. It’s cooler, less tourist, more Parisian.
You’re right, Julia! The costumes were made for Venice in February, not midsummer. Poor Simon’s coat was wool, but he was a trooper. September and October are beautiful months for Paris. 🥰🏰💖
What a gorgeous elegant evening!! Your face is absolutely gorgeous!! And Simon looks the part of a Gentleman and Scholar. Such a special evening for two incredible people ❤❤
Oh, how kind! Thank you. 🥰🏰💖
Simon, what a romantic gift you've given Vivienne... Versailles by moonlight. I'm glad that you enjoyed yourselves.
💖🏰💖
EPIC Ya'll !!! What a great experience and adventure at Versailles !!! So happy for you darlings. Your high couture was perfect and was the BEST at The Ball 2023!!! Thank you for taking us along on your date night.
Aren’t you sweet! Thank you!! We sure did have fun! 🏰💖
Wowsers...thank you Vivienne and Simon for taking us on your special Versaille date night. Spectacular costumes and alway love watching Château Love La Vie en Rose 💞
Thank you so much, Helen! 🥰🏰💖
Simon, You gave Vivienne the most romantic and perfect gift. You owned Versailles with your beautiful costumes! The Ball reminded me of Louis IV’s Versailles and Studio 54. He loved to make an entrance! Definitely the most Chateau Love Ball ever!! Simon. you spoiled Vivienne romantically and royally! Much love from us. Princess Dolly sends petite bisous especially to Simon for giving you such a romantic gift. 💕🍾🍾
Yes, it was grand! Big hugs to you and cuddles to Princess Dolly!!! 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖
A darling couple. Everybody looked like they were having a "BALL."
Vivienne, you and Simon are perfection personified in your beautifully hand made costumes. - And from a former hairdresser, great wig styling too Vivienne! You are so talented and Simon is such a good sport in enjoying the dressing up occasions, you both always look fabulous and ‘just the part!’ Versailles set the scene both in daylight and night with those beautifully romantic gardens that really came to being spectacular in the night lights. I must admit I was a bit taken aback by the modern/futuristic theme for the ball but I’m sure it made for a lot more dancing than Minuet etc would have done?😅 It seemed to have a Cirque du Soleil vibe about it. Thanks for the amazing night out with you and much love to you both.💐💃🏻🕺🏻🏰❤️❤️
Yes, it did feel very Cirque de Soleil! 😁🏰💖
You both looked fresh as daisies after your all nighter, i would have been done and dusted as the saying go`s at midnight. You both looked fabulous, you did a great job making your costume`s Vivienne.
Lovely adventure & thank you for taking part with you!
What a memory🎉🇫🇷🎉, the Best Christmas Gift ever! I can virtually smell the orange blossoms across the Pond. You both walked on the grounds where French Royalty walked, just a few hundred years ago, aha. Thank you so, for sharing the Magic with us! ❤️🇫🇷🎉❤️🇫🇷🎉❤️🇫🇷🎉❤️🇫🇷🎉
It was such a pleasure to share this, Candy! 🥰🥰🏰💖
What a treat! What a wonderful Christmas gift! Your costumes were perfection! How grand it must have been back when Marie Antoinette was styling!
My favorite part?? Oh yeah; the look on Simon’s face on the drive there! So charming in the most darling way!! I just love you guys!! ❤
Aw, thank you, Joan! 🥰🏰💖
👋👍❤️
Vivienne, those costumes that you made were beautiful. I loved the brooch you put on Simon. I also love your wig with the feathers and the bird and hair designs. You are such an incredible artist! What a sweet night out from your husband! I swear you 2 are the cutest love birds! I would love to come to France and do something like that. What a fun romantic day and night. Thank you for taking us along.
We’re so happy you could join us, Michelle! 🥰🏰💖
I hope you are both safe with everything happening in France right now! 💔❤🩹❣
Yes, we are in the countryside and central Paris is okay. It’s still awful, though, what’s happening. 🏰💖
@@ChateauLove It's terrible. Keeping you all in prayers.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Well, I am absolutely impressed! You two are such troopers! Wow, what a fantastic night! Absolutely, glorious! Loved your costumes, thank you for showing all that was there and the beauty and the fun! So happy to see folks who make an effort to have a really fantastic time! I loved it!

You guys looked perfect! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🥰🏰💖
You two looked absolutely FABULOUSLY STUNNING!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!! Thank you so much!!
Thank you, Robert! 🥰🏰💖
Lully, fireworks on a lovely Versailles evening. Doesn’t get much better. Looks like fun.
your makeup looks amazing. the costumes are fantastic and you look like you were able to move around in them, I always rip the costumes I have bought. so much fun and wish we had something to go to like this to attend. Simon's brooch was cool! I love love love seeing all the other costumes and the sites of Versailles. I usually don't like fireworks anymore, but I think I would love to see them while standing in a garden of Versailles with the music and everything, spectacular! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Pam, I don’t love fireworks either, but with the baroque music they were spectacular! The brooch was a beautiful gift by a lovely lady named Stephanie M. so happy you could join us! 🥰🏰💖
So much love to share. Magical couple, lovely to see you both glowing ❤❤
Oh my gosh!!! You both looked spectacular!!! Incredible costumes!!
What a party! Congrats on making it all night!!
Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
Thank you, Mary!! 🥰🥰🏰💖
What fun❣️Thanks for taking us along on a great journey!🥱 🌞🥂
I am completely impressed that you stayed out and partied hard that long. I would have made it till about 4 a.m. and then I would have needed my bed. You both looked fabulous and fit into your surroundings beautifully.
Your costumes are absolutely beautiful and you two certainly looked the part. I wouldn’t be able to stand the crowds, long lines or loud music but I certainly enjoyed it through your romantic eyes!
You two really had a good time, it showed💕
Wow you and Simon are the most beautifully dressed of all … such a fun night and thank you sooo much for taking us along❤️❤️❤️
You are too kind. There were some exceptionally splendid costumes, so we’re were in very good company! 🏰💖
What an epic 18th or 19th century date night on our 21st century planet! Thank you beautiful Vivienne & handsome Simone for taking your viewers along! What a sight. You never, ever disappoint! I can't believe how gorgeous and awake you still were at sunrise! Epic! ❤🎉❤🎉
Thank you so much. You are too kind! 🥰🏰💖
I fell madly in love with you two while watching this video. What a wonderful couple. What a wonderful night. I look forward to more videos. Thank you!
This is absolutely AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL & FUN!!!
You two look fresh as a daisy after pulling an all- nighter!
Oh Doris, you are too kind! We didn’t feel very fresh by morning, but not drinking at all (Simon) or too much (me) was definitely helpful. 🥰🏰💖
A 360-degree beautiful event!!! Your sweetness you show for each other is so delightful! It is a pleasure to watch. I and many others, I'm sure, look forward to the specialness you both have for each other. Thank you for including us in on your spectacular date night!! ❤❤ !!! 🍾🥂🍾🌹🌹🌹😍
Thank you, Susan! 🥰🏰💖
Oh my..you two wonderfully costumed people, music..sunset AND sunrise...what a romantic date..it was Dee..delightful...😊you just needed your maid!!!loved it all..
You two are the best! Oh what a night!!!!

I totally agree with Simon. Everyone's outfit was SO-SO. But your outfits are absolutely gorgeous. You out did yourself. Beautiful. What a glorious evening.
That’s what I call a Birthday Present. Magnificent. ❤❤
Whow ! I visited this beautiful place ,years ago . Trust me Vivien and Simon , l loved ❤being with both of you ❤️ Thankyou from the core of my heart ❤️
Hi lovely Shaheen! It was great that you could join us!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🏰😉
Oh my God your costumes are spectaculars they really seems like coming form the era of the kings of Versailles ! And yes, Simon is right maybe same of the others costumes were from Amazon 😂...I think I would have one from this sort for I am not talented at all for sewing 😂! Glad to see you have had a good time together at Versailles. ❤❤❤❤
💖💖💖🏰💖🏰💖

fabulous time thank you for sharing,would have loved to be there!!and both of you are amazing and charming!!!!
Everyone was lovely! What a wonderful night thank you for sharing
Oh what a Night!!! I hope you had a nap 😉 Amazing. Your costumes don't look home made and even better than Venice if that'spossible. The fountains at night are spectacular. Haha Versailles meets the space age. You're just beaming Vivienne, xo
It was so special, and it was really something to look forward to over the last 6 months. 😁🥰🏰💖
Yes, especially after what you've been through. I've visited Versailles but your evening was next level! Thank you for sharing; felt like I was there.
Wow, you made it! Partying all night like a couple of 20 year olds!
Great costumes!! Beautiful settings. Music was different than what thought it was going to be
Whether Versailles or DIY your vlogs are always a joy.
Such a stark contrast to the what’s happening in burning Paris and also around the world.
Yes, thankfully it happened before the riots began. Sometimes it’s lovely to take a moment out of time before returning to reality, which is sometimes quite tragic. 🏰💖
Wow! That was spectacular! I got all excited when you parked your car and everyone in costume was near the water. It was like bringing us back in time. Your costumes and wigs was beautiful. And yeah, it was like studio 54 and the Fifth Element. Thank you for bringing us on your date! I hope to visit Versailles one day.
I hope you can make it to Versailles one day. Truly photos and even videos can’t do it justice. 🥰🏰💖
Loved this ...thanks xxx
Amazing 😍 thanks for bringing us along....❤
You guys! After my own and my hubby’s heart. Love it! You two party animals, made and would have shamed many youngsters! 😅
Thanks for letting us tag along your your magnificent date night! ❤
We’re so happy you joined us!! 😁😁😁🥰💖
Wow wow what a wonderfuf date memories for a lufetimr fantastic costumes 🎉🎉❤😂❤❤❤
Your costumes look amazing !❤
You both look Amazing! What a fabulous event!!
Oh my what an amazing event. Huge congratulations on the costumes. Lovely to see you both looking so happy. It was fortunate to do this prior to the present troubles in France. Watching made me very happy. From New Zealand.
Yes, it was fortunate and now of course we are very worried for those caught up in this awful situation. 💖🏰
That was great to watch how romantic you both looked .What a wonderful date
Party animals!
Hello u 2 from New 🇳🇿 Zealand
Fabulous evening
Vivienne yr skin looked amazing.
U are both one classy act. There is now way hubby & I cldve kept awake ⏰️ well done🤗 Victoria Richard👱♀️😎
Thank you, Victoria! So happy you could join us! 🏰💖
Cyd in the USA. This was grand! I did wonder though. If the champagne lines were long how about "other" lines :-) not to be indelicate...too late.
Actually once inside the ball, no lines for either “problem”! 😁😂🏰💖
I loved it all! Was it warm? Bravo to both of you for staying all night, I just can’t do it any longer. I think my feet would’ve swollen up into big balloons by now and I could’ve just traveled home by hot air balloon feet.😂
There were a lot of people with their feet up at Versailles toward the end of the night! 😁🏰💖
You both looked amazing a great job on the costumes etc. One small item missing Vivienne the beauty spot 🥂😊
Argh! You are right!! How could I forget that? Well… next time! 😉😁🏰💖
That ending kiss...👌🏻❤
That was the coolest thing everything! I have always wanted to attend the party and I feel like I did. Thank you!
Thank you for taking us with you !
You partied like rock stars! LOVE your bird!
Wow, what great costumes! Kudos to Vivienne in making them! The wigs looked spectacular on you both! Loved the vintage curls and the feathers held on!!Versailles night looked so beautiful and romantic. Wished at least the start of the music was in keeping with the era. Vivienne and Simon, you two are really great, holding on all night long till sunrise, and you both looked 💯💖💖💖💖. Thanks for letting us be part of this special treat!
We are so happy you could join us! 🥰🏰💖
it's a dream come true for me
You and Simon held out much longer than I could! Thank you for letting us live vicariously through you and enjoy things we would likely not experience otherwise! 🥰
It’s our pleasure, Melissa! 🥰🏰💖
You two rock.
Costumes worthy of Versailles made by your fair hand! Thanks for taking me along!
You two are simply adorable! I absolutely loved taking part in an event I shall most likely not be blessed to attend through your lense. Thank you. Your costumes were simply impeccable ... love tgem.
You guys look totally awesome!
Fabulous duo you two hehe always full of joy 😍 thank you for this beautiful interesting night at Versailles !!!
When times collide within the present and present is not present....you wandering is there reality at all...those that comth from heaven to earth...that's how I experienced your night 👾😊
Hope you got home well and happy....recuperating sleepless night 😉
Also hope you're not in Paris now...
Take care lovely people 😘 much love
Thank you! Yes, it was surreal and very much like being in a dream. We’re in the countryside right now, but our thoughts are with the Parisians, especially those in the suburbs. 🏰💖
How exciting and fun! Thank you for bringing us along!
