  • We've been vlogging for a full year! And chateau life continues at its varied best - Stephanie and Marie scour the vintage shops for props for a mysterious summer party, Grant and Ben transform the chateau with their antipodean brawn, David continues to cook up a storm wearing lycra and towels, and Mummy and Stephanie have a glorious opportunity to delve into the lives of the Avignon Popes...
    Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
    This weekly vlog follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️

    Hi Stephanie, I found you during the lockdown and what a blessing it has been. We are bombarded daily with negativity that sometimes makes life unbearable. You are a joyful light for me and many throughout the world. Thank you so much! I'm planning a pilgrimage of sorts to Cathar country (it's on my bucket list) and will make my way to Chateau Lalande. Btw, I live in Rhode Island, the smallest state in the USA.

    I just love how everyone who works at the Chateau leaves their mark. Do you assign them jobs or do they chose what to do? The post box is a treasure.

      From what I have gathered: They have chores but Stephanie has said that she tries to see where the personal interests lie and go from there if possible. And I think they are free to also be creative on their own. (However, I think they consult Stephanie when it is major decisions on aesthetics or such )

    Wow this is Stephanie at her very , very Best ! The French Tourist Board should be in her hands completely as she delivers the history that is completely captivating , seeing the Hotel was like a memory for me as it featured what was always and still is one of my favourite fabrics as a chair cushion !
    Love that Pope what an interesting Vlog, this is when you are at your best Stephanie, Wondrous .
    The Post Box is where it was meant to be, it is lovely to see how people all love doing things for you, so happy to see beautiful Isabelle and Percy.
    I am sure the day will come when you have a Theatre in that wonderful building for your musicians and you singing as you do so beautifully.
    I can picture it already. X

    • @TheChateauDiaries
      @TheChateauDiaries  Před 5 lety +3

      @josephinedavidson5968 Před 5 lety +2

      The Chateau Diaries , In one of the very first of you Vlogs I remember yo saying how much you would love a Theatre for an Orchestra, I remember thinking to myself ! I bet she will one day so hand onto the dream Stephanie. That fabrics was at La Mirande Hotel in Auvignon in the yellow and turquoise bedroom you filmed, the cushion was on the chair and another tub chair was covered in it beside the curtain, I can’t remember the name but it is a high end house ! Tried to track it down ! Jo
