Your latest video that wasreleased today has filled my soul with light. I lost my daughter five years ago, who left behind two daughters. The state divided them up, and they live in different states and never see each other. I never thought I could feel joy at Christmas again, but your last few videos show your loving spirit for all things wonderful andJoyous. I almost died this year because of doctors giving me wrong medication’s. I just want you to know how much I love and appreciate your talent your kindness and your creative ZEST for life. Happy new year.🎉
Dear Colleen, Life can certainly give us challenges, and you have had your share. I’m so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I cannot imagine… Taking the time to write such a lovely comment shows the kindness of your soul. I hope that your granddaughters find their way back to each other, and for you I wish a 2024 filled with love, light, happiness and health. xxx, Vivienne 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖
Thank you for opening your home, hearts, and travels with us all. You have the most home-like chateaus I have seen in the fact that it feels cozy, warm, and welcoming. Beautiful decor and festive atmosphere. Merry Happy Christmas and a Joyeux Noel!
I love that you got a real tree. They smell amazing and are an old tradition, that is so SPECIAL for all those that get to experience it. What a wonderful GIFT to give your family and friends. xo
Thank you for sharing all the joyful moments with us! Very innovative idea to extend the table with some ingenuity and common sense! Brilliant! Love Isabelle’s crochet flowers! Quite amazing her choice of colors and fine needle work! I couldn’t help but be aware of her great use of time ... even in passive moments she was accomplishing more stitches. Smart girl! Lol 😂 at the gingerbread house! Too funny how Isabelle and her grandfather just enjoyed their time together and played it off! A sweet moment! 😂 Ahem; as for Simon’s shirt ... I completely understand... this is where he stores his magic! I painted in the same pants from 7th grade until somewhere in my 50’s. I knew if I was wearing them, I could paint better!! 😂. Yeah; well it worked!!! (Now I just lay them across my lap... well the rear-end fell out... and they had shrunk ... or something 🤔😉 My dearest Vivian; you have more artistic talent at-the-ready in your baby finger than most people can dream about over the course of their entire life-time! 😘. The Chateau has that wonderful style and grace that makes one want to visit and stay... it’s like a cocoon of beauty, balance and love! The ease of it all!!Amazing!! I so enjoyed this video and all of Christmas locations you shared with us this season! Right down to you and Isabelle playing around in the grocery store! Lol 😂. “Oh; what fun... it is to ride...” anywhere you and your family are ! The smiles never end 😊Delightful!! Happy New Year to all!! ❤️😘
Dear Joan, thank you for this incredibly sweet message. You are too kind! I can’t wait to tell Simon about your lucky painting jeans. Best wishes for a happy & healthy New Year! 💖💖💖
Hi from New Zealand and a Happy 2024 New Year to you all, a small hint when putting a gingerbread house together make a simple syrup with a slight more substance to it, dipt the house and roof edges in the syrup put each piece together hold for a few seconds till it holds, and then continue to construct and decorate.🎊🎉🍾🥂🥃
Oh yes I love to crochet. I am now 65 and my Grandma taught me to crochet when I was 11/12 so I have been crocheting a very long time, I have made many, many, many blankets.. all different ones from granny squares to strips quilts which are now my favourite. ❤️
The floors look absolutely incredible. It's no wonder you have goosebumps knowing that you are bringing the chateau back to live another life. It must be a wonderful feeling. 🩷 Debbie Phillips
For the sale of the gingerbread house, I would say, "For Sale As Is!" I've loved all these videos you have shared with us. I can't pick my favorite, since they were all wonderful! Let Isabella know, crocheting and knitting was a hobby we had in the 60's, as kids! It's just come back around! It's now 20 minutes till midnight, here in the States. So, I'll say, "Happy New Year " to you and your wonderful family!! Seeing your father and his wife was a nice surprise.
Simon clearly wasn't bothered with us watching his woodworking skills as he was trying to focus on the job at hand, continued looking serious UNTIL Vivienne noticed how excellent his workmanship was as it fitted to perfection; a definite twinge of a smile.
We say Merry Christmas in the UK as well as Happy Christmas. We also have lots of those foods in our shops, apart from snails and oysters, at Christmas 🎄
Thank you! 😁We were so confused by that!! I’m actually delighted to hear that the syrup is made there. Now, to unravel the mysteries of Mississippi and Minnesota…😂🏰💖
Hello, hello! Happy New Year to you! I hope you guys are having a much-needed rest after your glorious accomplishments in the 400 Suite. Many hugs and hoping we see each other again soon!! (Go Laval!) 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Yes. Turkey stuffed with duck. One of the best dinners I ever served was on December 31, 1999. We had Turducken. It is a turkey stuffed with a duck that was stuffed with a chicken, that was stuffed with seafood. It was a hit!
Oh my! Though we tried it once, we avoid the chicken as it didn’t cook through and was dry. Seafood? Now that sounds interesting! Now I’m going to scour the internet for recipes. Thank you & Happy New Year! 😁🏰💖
I think that the recipe I used was from a Michelin Restaurant Chef that I found on the internet. It required that the turkey, duck, and chicken had to be deboned. The gravy was amazing! I will search my computer and if I can find it (was a long time ago) I will send it to you. Thanks for your videos. I watch and enjoy them all. @@ChateauLove
I love to crochet!! And this time of year is when I get the bug the strongest. Just started a new project yesterday!! Love the colors in yours, Isabella 😍 Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year to one and all!!! 🤗🎆
What a magical video & celebration of Christmas, Vivienne, Simon & Isabella! So nice your father & his wife were able to spend the holidays with you too!! Unforgettable memories!! Happy New Year!! 🇺🇸
What a great video. Such a happy close family. Vivienne, you are such a great artist. Love your creativity! Such beautiful Cheatue and Christmas Decorations with theams. I wish you all of your family a happy and Merry Christmas. Your meal is making me hungry.
A massive congratulations to Isabella for her outstanding achievement. Bravo young lady. Bravo!!! My apologies if I did not congratulate you in the previous video. To be honest I was multitasking while the video played. So much so I kept reminding. It took me over 2 hours to take in enough content to feel fulfilled. Haha. A very happy, healthy, and prosperous new year to all château love-ers. So happy to see Vivienne is able to fully enjoy the holidays this year. Cheers to great health. It's all so beautiful and festive. We were blessed with a longer "Christmas season" this year thanks to an early Thanksgiving. 2029 is the next early "Christmas season". Not that I follow any calendar..... I typically start decorating the primary house the second week of November.
I’m very jealous of anyone who can crochet. My Mother and I nearly got divorced over her trying to teach me to crochet. I can knit anything but crocheting defeated me. Fumble fingers is me. Have a wonderful New Year. 🎉🎉🎉🥂🥂🌹
It’s a very special skill of dexterity. I’m creative and love to paint, sew, DIY…but knitting and crocheting are completely outside of my ability! Well done to you and your mother. 🥰🏰💖
WOW! Your kitchen looks spectacular. Thanks for sharing this with us - at the moment I’m in sunny Perth (a cooler day today only 29c) spending New Year with my son and his wife, but am from the spectacular Deep South of New Zealand . Wishing you a wonderful 2024 filled with health and happiness ❤
Watching you walk through Le Mans was so heart wrenchingly wonderful! I just found out today that my 8th, 9th, and 10th Great Grandparents from the 1550's to the 1650's lived in Le Mans before immigrating to Quebec, Canada and then through "Le Grand Derangement" down to Louisiana where I am from! My mother's maiden name was LeDoux and I've traced the line all the way back to a Jehan LeDoux born in 1495 and died in All. St. Martin, Bourgogne, France! His son moved the family to LeMans for the next 3 generations. To be able to see the medieval buildings that I'm SURE they must have looked at is just mind blowing! Thank you so much for sharing your travels with us!!
Lovely family time and lovely decor.We went to the local flea market here in Florida a few months ago .I saw balls of yarn for 50c each 100% wool .lots of different colours and a few cream coloured .I got busy started crocheting three items at once.I made a faux Aran jumper for one daughter ,I was going to make a throw for my other daughter but thought she might shrink it if washed so I bought regular acrylic yarn to make her a flower garden throw.I decided on a patchwork jacket for myself ,I did different stitches on a few of the squares .I used odd vintage buttons .It worked out great ,My daughters were pleased with their items.Isabellas tulips were cute.Happy New Year x
Thank you so much for sharing your family Christmas and spreading the love and joy. I smiled and laughed throughout the entire video - especially at the bloopers at the end. Sending the love right back to you from sunny Australia ❤🎉🐾💕 Rolanda

So looking forward to watching this. Thank you for taking us on such a wonderful Christmas journey to three wonderful locations. Have a most blessed 2024.
Delightful, and thank you for sharing your Christmas events and crafts with us. May you all have a Wonderful, Exciting, and Adventurous New Year full of Love!
Cyd in the USA. Your holiday video was the best I watched all season. Not because your home is beautiful...and it is. Not because your decorations are glorious...and they are. The thing that made it joyous was the family participation. You captured the meaning of the holiday. You did that with great video technique and music and imagination. All the best in 2024.
Happy New Year to the whole @Chateau Love family! I had a smile on my face for the whole duration of this video! The shopping trip, the Florida house disaster, the bird discussion, everything was hilarious!!! I just loved it! Thank you so much! I hope you will have a wonderful, healthy and lucky New Year 2024!!!!❤🎉🍾🥂
It's nice to your daughter crochet, I love crocheting, can't tell you how many baby blankets I have made over the past years. I enjoy your videos very much, I want to wish you and your family and friends all the best for the New Year. Ga., USA.
Really wonderful holiday series, I enjoyed it so much. My husband and I have a daughter and I can relate to the love and laughter you have with Isabella. Happy and healthy new year to you all!
Magical places, nothing close to this in my part of the US and definitely not Texas…. I love the old world charm in the buildings and the furniture. ❤ You are such a kind soul….. Happy New Year to you and your wonderful family.
Just delightful!!!! Vivienne, your vlogs are like little bits of wonderful things all wrapped up beautifully! I love to crochet! Unfortunately don't have the time (have a few unfinished projects one mainly being a Rocky Top orange and white blanket). I love seeing young people crochet! What a great gift from Isabella! Yummy dinner with a great mix of foods! Woodland Christmas theme is adorable and beautifully done!!!
