Finding Treasures while ANTIQUING with half the Chateau Owners of France! 🏰🇫🇷 

It was so thoughtful and generous of Viviene to bring individually selected gifts for everyone. The table looked fabulous as always as did the meal.

Hey, as far as the timing of of your Vlogs- You do what makes you happy and according to Your schedule, as you are able! Try not to stress too much, and remember to enjoy and have fun! You have your hands full and we are lucky to get frequent Vlogs IMHO.

I know Marie loved doing her floristry but she seems to love cooking even more. And the feedback is quite rewarding for her. Yay!

I don't care how early or how late you post your videos, when I get a notification I'm there. Love your vlogs!❤

I like Nattie's desk, but I like Nattie's jacket more! It's so pretty, especially against the room colors,

I have to say, as someone who knows just enough about digital art to be dangerous, Steve’s work on the wallpaper is absolutely incredible! I am blown away. That must have been so difficult. He truly has so much skill and patience.

Nati you looked amazing in that green jacket

Just a thought. I think Phillip should put a glass top on the desk if Natalie is using it daily for work just to protect it and make it look beautiful longer. Awesome job. And congrats again!!

Marie IS amazing! She must be physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day. Beautiful meals, beautiful presentations. So much fun seeing all of you together. This was such a joy to watch. Thank you Stephanie and company!

What a great group of friends, thanks for letting us come along.

Marie, all I can say is God is good!!! All the families you have cultivated Stephanie is wonderful, working together is so precious. Natie and Amaury's work is amazing. Phillip, love all your selections.

Marie is shining like the beautiful light that she is!❤

Our lovely Marie deserved a brooch. ❤️

Every once in a while you include a bit of footage of a drive through the countryside, either going or coming from the chateau. The music you use to accompany the footage is so beautiful. Thank you!! 🇨🇦

We loved every second of this glorious weekend! Thank you for laughs, the shopping, the treasures, and friends old and new. Until next time, darlings! 🏰💖🏰💖🏰💖🏰💖

Steph, Philip and chateau friends, you all should have a progressive stay week. Book a certain amount of people who stay at one chateau for a couple of days then move to the next chateau to stay etc. that would be a fun week to visit each of the chateaux. What fun to have so many friends come stay. Thanks for the vlog.

The gold plate settings really complimented the food beautifully and such a sweet time for all. The food was fabulously done kudos Marie ❤

great to see Marie looking so happy. what a creative cook.

Delightful coming together! Vivienne is so generous with her thoughtfully chosen, exquisite gifts! And brava Marie! Another triumph! Beautiful table settings as always, dear Philip. ❤

I just absolutely adore Viviene. She is Lovely inside and out. Those matching water pitcher jugs were pretty. And it was very sweet and generous for her to bring jewelry for everyone. Some beautiful pieces.

Love Nati’s green jacket, she looks beautiful today 💕

I think Stephanie has already explained why they are so late in the evening, but here in Australia it's o ly 1pm ❤

It is wonderful to see you all together. Vivienne is so sweet, thoughtful, and has great taste. Marie is an absolute inspiration!

Love the room, but loved Nattie's cardigan. The color is beautiful. Looks so wonderful on her. Have fun

So special to see all my RU-vid friends together thank you

Oh... you spoil us, a brocante shopping spree! Bet you all had a great time.. lovely to see you all together. And, the always smiling and beautiful Vivienne, so generous with gifts for everyone at dinner... just look at Marie's cooking, yum! Loved the dog play... is L saying, please come again! ❤🦘

It looks like the Chateau swap was a great success. Can’t wait to see all the treasures ❤❤❤

I love being with you when you are visiting antique shops and other places looking for treasure. It’s fun to see what’s available and at what cost. ❤

That first peach color vintage silky nighty was gorgeous and hardly frumpy! The second one was definitely a frumpy grandma nighty!

What a delightful group of chateau owners to share in a day of antiquing. .

A frumpy nighty assures one of a peaceful nights sleep.

Vivienne is so thoughtful and lovely to bring all those wonderful gifts.

What a beautiful gathering of special friends all who own chateaus! Loved the trip with you antiquing but loved most of watching Marie transform food into master pieces. She is amazing and looks so happy.

I'm wondering if Steve could digitize what the walls in the chapel will look like when they're done

I loved this! How sweet Vivienne is to think of everyone. Her gifts are always so thoughtful. So great to see all the Chateau owners together!

The dogs got along so well! Lancelot really needs a companion! 🐶🐶🤎🤎

What Natti wants, Natti gets, in a good way. ❤ She can see the guests arriving and stand to meet them, plus her desk top is hidden. ❤

wow! It was wonderful to see all the chateau owners together. That had to be one great visit. All the people I watch in vlogs except one couple I didn't recognize. Could you introduce all the couples to us? Really enjoyed the vlog.

What a fantastic idea to ask other chateau owners over for the weekend for food, shopping and lovely meals. Great table decorating as usual and amazing looking food.

What a lovely example of friendships and Marie it all looked amazing x

What a great idea! It looks like so much fun. A little down time for the Chateau owners. A little exchange of things to be loved again. And all the great conversation and friendship. Perfect. And I can't forget to say how amazing all the food looks. You are all very lucky to have her.

Love all the chateaux owners shopping for bargains & seeing lovely Vivienne & Simon and Sara & Stephen again xxxx

What a HAPPY get together! Lancelot has made a new friend, Baudelaire, how sweet!!! Wonderful table settings, flowers and gourmet food! And of course Vivienne's gifts, absolutely spot on gorgeous for everyone!

That was lovely as always, thank you so much! 🫶💞🫶 Marie, I think it’s incredible what you do… your meals look just as gorgeous as your flower arrangements do, chapeau! 😘

Oh my kindred spirits! What I wouldn’t give to be there antiquing! You are all so amazing! Thank you everyone for bringing we the viewers so much joy! We just don’t have the history, antiques, or the glorious age of so many special things here in the United States. Hugs from a cowgirl with a regency heart here in Utah!! Hugss!!

Whenever Phillip really wants something, he says his grandmother had one. I am picturing his grandmother’s house. 😂

That headpiece looks fabulous Stephanie....great look for your wedding....very sophisticated!!!

What a Fun idea to have a little outing and swap!! Marie, everything looks soooooo delicious!!

Thank you for the daily vlogs, Stephanie. You work so hard to take us along on your journies and I really appreciate it. Don't wear yourself out and get sick though. We'd all really hate that.

steve is very tallented.

It looks like you all had a great weekend. Great company, food and treasure hunting. 🙂🇨🇦

Marie!!! I haven't commented yet, just observed. Wow! Outstanding! Brava!! You are amazing! Your creative heart and skill is seen in every thoughtful dish presentation. ❤

Loved the brooches (pins)! Reminded me of the 1990s when I wore antique brooches on the lapel of my business suits (female). Distinguished me from to dark men’s suits that was required business attire for career women of the day.

Love ❤love ❤love ❤ how Vivian’s gifts just so happened to match each of the recipients outfits ! Like she planned it so! Well done everyone in this vlog!

What could be more better than having all of my favorite RU-vid chatelens together celebrating one another. Love, love, love it! I absolutely loved the brocante shopping. Marie, you really outdid yourself in the kitchen. Vivienne, such elegant gifts for everyone. More please! You all need to do this at least once a season.❤❤❤

I love the wallpaper Steve digitized! Love it as it is. Do not whiten it. Maybe just a shade or two lighter. It's Magnificent ❤

What a fun weekend! You all have so much in common and you all have a sense of fun about life. I loved seeing Lancelot having a lovely visitor as well. I noticed on the table that the large candles were sitting on small plates to match those that you were eating from. What a clever way to tie them in and also protect the table cloth from wax. Vivian was so thoughtful in her gift giving. She really took the time to make them fit the people she was gifting them too. Love you all tons.

This gathering of friends is a GREAT DRESS REHEARSAL for Marie and her culinary creations before your B&B Season starts.❤😊

Beautiful group of people enjoying each other’s company…delightful! Marie’s food artistry was spot on and as always Philip’s table scapes were perfection. Lancelot with Vivienne and Simon’s dog was priceless. Can’t wait for the next episode. Oh and I love Nati’s new desk. 🙏❤️

I never thought I’d live to see the day when Stephanie tried something on and it DIDN’T fit. Oh well- to be so blessed to look amazing in everything she wears. What a fun group of people to entertain! What a great get together!

What a wonderful lot of people so insync with yourself and Philip. Vivienne is a Sweetheart her presence is so divine and her smile is a knockout. They would have all left Lalande with full bellies and smiles across their faces and a car boot full of treasures ❤

Loved this video, everyone enjoying each other’s company. Marie, your cooking is masterful!

What a wonderful start to a fabulous visit! I loved the veil so much! My mother married in 1966 and wore a pillbox hat with just a small tulle veil. Everyone who sees the photos gushes at the beauty and simplicity and straight away compare the look, along with her dress, to Jacqueline Kennedy. I've preserved it shall i ever marry. I would seriously consider going back to get it as an option! The tulle could easily be replaced. You looked simply amazing, and it could at least be a base to build upon or just serve as inspiration should you go another direction. I look forward to the rest of the visit with the gang! What fun!

Trading stuff is such a good idea and a good way to just get everyone together for fun and a meal. Vivian is so kind with her gifts. You can tell she just loves giving! Little white dog is so cute with lance! Such a fun vlog!

Steve is so talented and Vivienne is so generous. So lovely to see everyone supporting each other ❤❤❤❤❤

Omg am I possibly that someone? I know I made thst comment but it was a long time ago! Regardless I think it's the bees knees that you've decided to get in touch with other Châtelaines when there's lovely things that need rehoming! And SO great to see you all together hunting for treasures, eating and having a good time. I'm thrilled to see little Lancelot find a best friend of his species! It's so important dogs have other pupps to relate to, and although I'm sure Molly does care more than she lets on, Baudelaire is just that bestie he really needed to look forward to playing with again 💕 I'm shocked, 46 € for all those Luneville plates?! My mum has that exact set, with the big pink tulips, it makes me so nostalgic. I'm sure she payed alot more than that once upon a time in France. I think Natties strategy for her desk is superb. And the daybed in there brightened up the room. I didn't know you've gotten bees now at Lalande! That's wonderful! I always had a secret dream of keeping bees one day, as I enjoyed going with an older relative to tend them and collect honey many moons ago. It's always great to contribute to healthy bee populations and pollination, although I know it involves alot of know how and very careful care. It makes me so very angry that some of the vile American insecticides previously banned have now been given the green light in Europe. I'm very worried for the bees and birds. If you can, please sign the petitions of protest against this circulating social media atm. It can make a difference (it's happened before!) Big love to all of you! ❤

A joyous video! Lovely to see you all together at the brocantes finding things for each other. The tablescape is gorgeous and the food looks heavenly. Vivienne’s gifts are perfectly chosen for everyone. I hope you get together like this whenever possible. ❤

Stephanie could try on a black bin bag and still look incredible! ❤...love this channel and all its positivity ❤😊

Marie has definitely found her new passion!

The whole point of the frumpy nightwear back in the day, I think, was easy access. That's why all our grandmothers had like 96 children.

What a lovely evening, how joyful everyone was! Cheers 🥂

So lovely to see you all together and I follow mostly all of these Chateaulains! Lol Vivienne sprinkles that "Love" wherever she goes, so sweet! Marie is really got some great cooking skills! Sending you all much love! ❤

Viviane what great gifts and Marie what wondeful food! It is so good to see everyone together and the Chateau looks fab!

How do you manage to find such talented chefs? You are so fortunate. They alone seem worth the trip to your chateau. Well you and everyone else add so much as well. Love you all you make my day ❤

This was such an incredible weekend to watch. What fun! Beautiful food by Marie, great company, and amazing treasures via charity shopping! You all should do this each year!

Wow, using honey from your own bees! That really is great. Never an uninteresting recording. I love the way you use your chateau resources😊

It so wonderful to see everyone together in the same vlog!

So nice seeing all. Vivian was lovely to bring treasures for all! Stephanie you looked so beautiful in red…

Oh my gosh; some of my favorite chateau owners and out brocanting together!!! And Marie’s cooking is absolutely incredible! Of course Philip’s tablescapes are always amazing. Vivienne was beyond generous to lovingly pick out gorgeous jewelry for everyone. Wow! Love to everyone from Mary in Southern California 💗🤗🌟

If anyone could pull that adorable straw hat off, it’s you Stephanie. You should have bought it. Also, loved seeing Lancelot making a new friend!

What a very fun video to see all of you together! Looks like the making of a wonderful supper club to me! ❤️

OMG there is an Emmaus at Le Blanc! I have a house 5kms away! There is no hope for me now😂

Precious Marie. Always taking care of everyone's meals so beautifully.

That color on Natti is great ! Especially with the red and gold wallpaper !!!!

You should get a Ring doorbell or camera on the gate that will also alert Natty that visitors have come through the gate. I was quite against getting a ring doorbell for our house (but we saw a good deal on Amazon black friday) but it has actually been a godsend and alerted us to a man coming to our door with a toolbox at 2am. We are sure that he was going to pick our lock but when he saw the ring camera and sign saying that he was on camera, he swore and literally rang back down our driveway. I think it stopped him breaking into our home. I also love that it detects movement so we always know when anyone is coming to our door, plus being able to talk to deliveries through the doorbells when we are away from home. Xxx

Vivienne is so lovely

What a beautiful time had by beautiful people! So delightful. 🥰🥂

Steve’s digitized wallpaper- wow!!!!

What a lovely video, it was so nice to see other chateau owners all coming together and enjoying each other's company as well as your trip to find treasures. They all seem like such beautiful people, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you Stephanie. Marie is just amazing, she creates spectacular meals, what a treasure she is xxx

it's so wonderful to see all those vintage antiques.❤ what a beautiful party at vlog end.

I laughed out loud at that “wedding” hat. Thanks!

I've been a fan of maree for some time and I'm so pleased she's found her niche, it's so good to see her confident and happy and Steph you are responsible for that, also the incredible transformations that Phillip is making great job

Wonderful to see the Chateau full of people & familiar faces 🥰 What a fun time shopping for treasures, can’t wait to see what everyone bought! Vivian is so generous & thoughtful with her gifts for everyone.Marie is in her element putting her amazing cooking skills to use, everything looked delicious 😋 👏

Just delightful! Thank you so much Stephanie.

what a treat to be invited for diner at Lalande! 😍 great job on the wallpaper! I was wondering what is happening with the tiles for the kitchen, the ones your father work on?

Wonderful to see everyone together and the outing was lovely.

Viviane and Simon are the best. So funny.

Everything was perfect from the rooms to the fabulous food prepared by Marie! Getting to meet the other Chateau owners was really fun! Thanks for sharing these glimpses of chateau life..🕊️

Steve is so talented with digitizing the wallpaper!!

Oh la la !!! Il est 3h40 du matin et après avoir découvert ce dessert… j’ai faim !! Merci Stéphanie et Philip pour cette vidéo fantastique ! Natty portait une très jolie veste et elle règne sur son poste de travail 🤭 Quels magnifiques cadeaux 🎁 au repas !! Cette broche te va comme un soleil Stéphanie ! Bonne nuit 💤😴 !!!!! À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸
