I'm sorry there's no premiere on this one! There was a glitch in RU-vid, which didn't allow the premiere to start at the scheduled time and when Philip tried to reset the premiere, the video was published without a live chat! I hope you'll all still enjoy the video and we'll have another live tomorrow (RU-vid allowing)❤
Happy Birthday to your aunt, thank you for the tour, and hope it was as joyful of a dinner as you all made us feel in one of my favorite restaurants in Paris🥰
I have never had a jealous bone in my body. But I envy the relationship that your aunt and uncle have for each other. I lost my husband 10 years ago and I thought that was most awful thing that could ever happen and then my son died of Covid in 2020. It’s hard for me to live this life of grief and loss. When I watch your videos it brings me so much joy and hope. Thank you
I also lost someone very dear to covid in 2020. Stephanie's rarely flagging enthusiasm for just about everything tends to draw me along like a tide of positivity that makes things a bit less bleak for a while at least
I usually don't notice what people are wearing, all my life. But Stephanie's ensemble Really spoke to me, the first moment I saw it! I don't usually like pastel colors on anything, but the way she assembled it was Perfect!
Near the end while the singers were singing at the restaurant, your Aunt had just a touch of emotions with all you planned and executed for her birthday. She will remember this day for ever...! Job well done, Stephanie..!

Firstly Stephanie...you look stunning!!! 😍That coat is sublime on you! What a wonderful day for your beautiful Aunt..she's such darling woman and so loveable! She deserves a wonderful Birthday like that! 🥂I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful tour...what an incredible home, with such history and love attached to it. An absolutely wonderful episode! Thank you 🥰🤗😘
Amery and his mother, Amery and Natti, heart melting 🫠. The palace was beautiful and my imagination goes wild. The palace reminded me of Chatsworth house. Stef, I bet you wish you were up there singing, you should have stood up and busted out a song. 🐨🥰
What an incredible museum! I was just in Paris two weeks ago, and I wish I had known about this place! By the way, Stephanie, this video really shows that you and Philip truly are kindred spirits of the nth degree. It’s lovely that you two found each other.
There are soooo many museums in Paris that it is overwhelming to make choices of which one to see. At least you now have a wonderful excuse to go back soon.
A wonderful vlog to celebrate Tatinette's birthday, it was lovely to see her so happy. The Chateau was stunning yet practically designed for the original owner and his family. It was lovely to see the loving affection between Amaury and his mother and the deepening love between Amaury and Nati
What a magnificent palace and its frozen in time. Yes, the history is sad, but there is love and beauty there as well, How fascinating. Auntie was a glow with joy, and yes she has beautiful elegant style herself. Lovely restaurant and Amaury is such a loving gentlemen.
I always love the vlogs that include your aunt and uncle, and this was a special treat, seeing the chateau through their eyes. Wishing Tante Chantal a very happy birthday!
Anything having to do with Amaury and particularly his parent makes me so happy! I will be spending Christmas alone after loosing my entire family....so I will watch this and many of your other Christmas diaries all day long! Gosh I adore Chantel and your uncle! How thoughtful it was for you to host her birthday with a visit to this heavenly place on earth!!
The powder blue coat and scarf are stunning on you, dear Stephanie! What a lovely day you all had. It was so nice of your aunt to have her birthday and let us all share it! :-)
This was so lovely and warm and beautiful. Amaury, that was a really heartfelt and loving speech, it brought a tear to my eye! Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments with us! Happy birthday Tatinette (sorry if I butchered the spelling 😅) and happy Yuletide to all! ❤🎄
I don't know where to start. Everything was magnificent. The family and friends, Stephanie describing what we saw, the taping of this video, the food, the decorating and workmanship of the rooms, the moulding, the singing, the pleasure on your aunt's face, etc. Thank you so very much.
Happy Birthday to your lovely Aunt. So beautiful, so elegant, such a joy. How honored Musee Camondo would have been to have her as his guest to enjoy his amazing home. Best wishes to all.
Stephanie, I have never seen your Aunt with such a big smile or so much to say. She will forever treasure this beautiful birthday, there is no doubt. Your ability to organize and enjoy amazing events…all while capturing the best video and flawlessly narrating it speaks of an Astounding team effort. Congratulations and thanks to all involved.
OMG, that jacket is stunning & you wear it well !! 💖. Wow, what a great vlog, so, so enjoyable and seeing such love between you all made me cry, there's nothing like celebrating with family and loved ones ❣
Oo la la! I love that blue outfit! And I wanted to say I really like the way you change the opening, just a touch each day, to include the previous days activities.
I started and ended absolutely 😭! It made me so very sad about the family who owned this home that are all now dead, especially from being in the concentration camps and then tears of joy for your aunt’s fabulous party. I absolutely loved the middle. There aren’t words to describe the beauty, good taste and unbelievable effort that went into the building and furnishing of it. There can’t for me be a favorite because each room made me feel so at peace. Some interiors are so over the top that they don’t interest me but this home you can feel the love and planning that went into each space. It’s definitely a place I’ll visit if I ever get back to Paris. “Happy Birthday” to your sweet aunt and “Hello” to Nati’s beautiful family! Can’t wait to see them all at Lalande!
Wow! That was fabulous! Thank you for taking us to that museum! And for including us in on your Aunt's birthday celebration! Truly a treat for all! Merci beaucoup! 😊💜
I remember when you went two years ago, and at that time i put this Museum in my list of places to visit when I get the chance to go to Paris, such a beautiful Maison! I love that everything has been left as when people used to lived there. PS.: you look amazing in Tiffany's blue :)
I love how your Aunt and Uncle are so in tune with one another, including their dress sense. Always wearing striking clothing, that compliments the other. And then there is your drop dead gorgeous blue number. So elegant and chic! Dare I say, as breathtaking as that palace. The restaurant looked amazing too. What a wonderful celebration for your beloved Aunt. 🎉🎉
Congratulations to your Aunt on her birthday! She obviously loved the tour of the museum. She appeared to be on the verge of tears of joy throughout. 🎈🎂
An incredible chateau - but such a tragic story .I hope the families spirits are there - seeing how much joy their home gives to others and knowing they have not been forgotten .A hug to your Aunt for her birthday - December kids rock.......my birthday is the day after Christmas .🌹
I have been very lucky and have visited this amazing musee several times when in Paris. There is another lovely musee in a private home called the Musee Jacquemart-Andre, this too has an interesting backstory but not as tragic as the Musee de Camondo. The first time we visited Musee Camondo the big door to the courtyard was closed but the smaller door within this door was open. We just stepped in and wandered around the courtyard towards the entrance to be met by a very surprised staff member, the musee was not open...when we apologised and told him that the door was open he asked us to wait a minute and he went off for a few minutes and came back with tickets for us to visit the next day. How special and nice of him. I adore your beautiful coat Stephanie.
Steph has a great love for everything beautiful and aesthetic, her enthusiasm translates into these amazing videos that she makes and we find them addictive. But at the same time, he surrounds himself with loving, sweet and friendly people! I love his way of being! God has blessed you with a bewitching personality! I simply adore you and I thank you for the happiness you give to so many!
What a wonderful birthday for your aunt. All her favorites, starting her day off in Paris with champagne, a visit to a French chateau musee, finished off with her family and Natie’s family all together at a famous opera themed restaurant. Happy Birthday, Chantal !! 🎉 You are a truly elegant lady. You look beautiful ❤
Such a beautiful museum of a families lives. Amazing to see things in the same as the original owners wanted it. I hope Chantal's birthday will be one to remember forever.
The entire Camondo mansion is an exquisite work of art. What more can be said, the home and its furnishings are ne plus ultra. I'm sure Stephanie and Philip have picked up many exciting ideas to add to Lalande's ever-evolving grandeur as a premier French chateau. Perhaps installing bells to call for tea, some wine or whatever might be desired is something now on the 'to do' list.
Steph…..thank you…. Thank you for the gift of being little flies on the walls of your incredible life. You give us all so much warmth by allowing us to witness the your idyllic life. …the way your aunt and uncle look at each other, the way Amoury adores his mother….. sigh….. it’s just comforting to watch…. Because I know that your love and affection also includes all of us ….it is just precious to me. Thank you.
The content you have been sharing every day of advent is just beyond!! Another amazing video.What a wonderful birthday for your Aunt! Stephanie that blue ensemble is perfection on you. Magnifique!!!
WhT an amazing story and what a fantastic collection. Thank you very much for sharing. This was such a treat. The family story is heartbreaking. What a legacy. Much love for sharing with us . All our love from the Chateau de Colombe. ❤😊❤
What a delightful birthday for Chantal from beginning to end! Thank you for allowing us to share in the tour and celebrations! And so wonderful to see all the families join in along with Andrew and Ricardo at that amazing restaurant! ❤❤🎉🍾🥂
Oh what a magnificent house and story! Thank you. These are things most Americans will never get to see up close. And even if we could, they close France everything I think I can go! 🤬
Such a beautiful vid , wonderful house , your blue coat is perfect on you. God has blessed your family with such love. An experience .only surpassed by the gift of our saviour’s sacrifice..in tears here watching your family together!
I totally agree about the past life thing. I feel the same way. I love French chateaus, and feel like I belong in one, and like I lived in one before. I even had a dream that I was a countess, and in the dream, I was in Versailles, talking to the king.
I particularly loved the way in which the somewhat ornate gold frame around the windows and draperies seems to make the view outside seem as if it's a painting - a piece of art to be admired and not just the everyday boring world outside. Also Chantal's accent is too cute. "Zis woom is so kwoozy!" Stephanie, you're awesome and I love your channel, but I adore your aunt & uncle.
Stephanie and Philip you both have such lovely families and friends. Your Auntie and Uncle are fabulous people. What a treat this video was. Stephanie you always dress beautifully however the blue coat made you look absolutely stunning. Natie Mum looks like her twin sister. I am going to places I would never get to see if it wasn't for your videos. Thank you so very much. Stephanie and Philip keep up the important work you are doing behind the scenes. You make a beautiful couple. Sending abundance of peace and love. Greetings from England.
i always thought natty was one of the cutest ladies at the chateau, but after seeing her mom, wow !!! now i know where she gets it from, she's not half bad either, lol ❤❤❤
Stephanie, your blue coat, scarf and broach are stunning-you are gorgeous and looked so at home in this beautiful place. Such an enjoyable tour-thank you so much!
Congratulations to your Aunt xxx. This beautiful house is a testament to what human beings are capable of creating and on the other hand the family is a testament to what humans are capable of inflicting on one another
That was amazing! Happy birthday to your Aunt, I could see she certainly enjoyed her day which ended sharing a meal with her family. The museum or house was stunning even though the family story was so sad. Thank you Stepanie and everyone 💕🇦🇺
It is so sad to walk through a grand place like this and know the people who lived there all died tragically. That there is no heirs to carry on. Their home is beautiful and thank you for showing us and telling us the story. Happy Birthday to your Aunt. What a perfect day.
Happy Birthday to your lovely Tatie Chantale! It looked like such a wonderful, magical day! And thank you Steph, for bringing us along to participate with you all! Amaury is such a darling son. He is not shy to show his deep affection to his sweet mother. Sending hugs and much love from moi in Canada!
Very Happy Birthday to your beautiful Auntie. She is gorgeous in her clothing on this lovely post. The palace is stunning and the history is tragic. What a legacy. The deco and the colors in each room is so beautiful. Stephanie your coat and scarf looks gorgeous on you. Your Aunties face and the joy in your voice if the china room spoke volumes. This place is a treasure to the French country . I’m in awe. Thank you Stephanie for sharing this beautiful Palace. I’ve never heard of this family. What a magnificent dinner and celebration birthday. I was moved to tears by Amaury’s toast and the caring, loving relationship he has with his mother. What a fabulous family you have Stephanie. You’ve brought so much joy to so many around the world. Happy Birthday once again to your Tatiana. 🤗🎄😘🍷❤️
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!!! Thank you Stephanie and Phillip, I am full of happy tears, I would have never seen this if it weren't for you two!!! My Christmas present!!!
Happy Birthday Aunt Chantal !!! What a wonderful and blessed day it was for you!!! Stephanie I could listen to you and Philip talk for days without end!!! What lovely people you ALL are!! Love this channel so much!! Thanks for sharing so many exciting and beautiful memories!!
Such synchronicity - there is an Istanbul connection with the Camondo family there is a huge set of steps in central Istanbul near where their home was. Best from Turkey.
Lovely that Auntie Chantal got a bit of spoiling in ✨️ romantic Paris ✨️. 🥰 She's such a sweet soul who deserves to be cherished by all who adore her❤. Like that her dapper hubby, hunky son, & loving niece are so devoted to her happiness❣️ 🏰 The museum tour was an absolute delight from start to finish. Such a bittersweet family history, but at least they lived in & loved deeply in those stunning surroundings. 🤔The proportions of this palace are absolutely majestic〰️& remained amazingly intact through the ravages of war. That 🍽 China cupboard is epic. L🤍ved the petite daybed nook. Stephanie you looked ravishing in your 💙 robin's egg blue ensemble. A perfect foil for all that sophisticated elegance. 🥳 Happy belated Birthday 🎂 dearest Chantal. May you be blessed beyond your every expectation🥂. Thx for putting up with the 📷 cameras & letting us crash your celebration🍾. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Oh, that was an oh-so-special tour and birthday soiree, dear Stephanie. I just want to thank everyone, espcially your aunt on her birthday, for allowing us to share in this. You have brought such great delight to me. 🥰🤗 Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand 🎂🎉 🥂
My husband and I visited this house museum a couple years ago and it is also our favorite in Paris. Musee Camondo is beauty and tragedy all in one. Not to be missed if you love beautiful homes. Can't wait to see it again.
That blue coat is so beautiful and such a lovely color on you. I feel so blessed to have found your channel. You are such a wonderful content creator and I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Thank you for making us feel so included and welcomed along with your family.
What an amazing place, but such a heartbreaking history! There was such beauty everywhere my eyes looked, but there was one exquisite sight in particular, I must say, that my eyes kept going back to over and over, and that, Stephanie, was YOU! That amazing shade of blue in that lovely fur collared coat, paired with that luscious and perfectly matching scarf, and finished off with that darling dragonfly! You've looked amazing in so many colors, but seriously, this one tops them all! Thanks for bringing us along, again, we enjoy and appreciate it very much! Mary from WallaWalla, Washington
I must commend you, Stephanie, on how well you seemingly effortlessly roll off interesting historical information about whatever you are talking about. I love how you go room by room with perfect details to impart to us viewers. It looks like you all had a grand day!
What a beautiful day! I must say I got a little misty during the dinner. The love you have for each other really radiates through the screen. To be loved by so many is a gift, Happy Birthday Chantal!! ❤
Happy Birthday! It's wonderful to see a home such as this preserved. It preserves the legacy of the family and of French antiquities. Very emotional indeed of learning about his son in World War 1. I can imagine there was a lot of inspiration to take back to LaLande. Vive la France!
I need a full tour of your closet in three divided videos, and then sub divided into different categories! I love your style and your aunts ofcourse!! 😍❣️✨✨
Stephanie, what a great way to celebrate Tatinette's birthday. You look gorgeous in your powder blue coat and scarf. I share that feeling of being at home in 18th century style residences. I have decided that I was a member of the Rohan family in a previous life and refer to the Hotel Soubise Rohan in Paris and the Rohan Palace in Strasbourg as my family's homes. I think there is one in Normandy as well--I did not make it to that one when I visited that area. Also love the Musee Jacquemart Andree, the Musee Carnavalet, and the Musee Cognacq-Jay for 18th century decorative arts. A story about boiserie: I didn't know it was called that when I saw a three-dimensional set at a Royal Street New Orleans, Louisiana antique store. I spoke of it admiringly to the proprietor. He said that he had purchased it for his home, insisting that it would fit; but alas, it did not. At least he was able to put it up for sale in his shop, which, like others on the same street, have been in business for over a century. Although 150 years is not a long time in Europe, it is in the U.S.; and, I think 150 years is a long time for a business anywhere. Thanks for taking us along. For once I'm kind of envious!
Twas my birthday too (66) Happy Birthday Stephanie's Aunt! That was a Magnificent Museum! Perfect! Like a Living Museum, where people actually lived, loved & worked! Where people were happy & sad, it exudes such emotion!
That was well worth the wait! What a stunning museum! I am absolutely in love with the Butler's Pantry et le piano dans la cusine est absoluement enorme!
What an amazing palace of a home, now a museum. The center rotund paintings love the doves painting. Priceless furniture carefully picked and placed by its owner. Every set of silver and the China has its own room! So beautiful. Surroundings of beauty now Loved by all.
What a beautiful clog, thank you for sharing your life with us. I have Lupus and I lay in bed often so I’m living through these videos. They give me life.
Will you stop making me so emotional, first I can’t stop smiling then the tears come at the emotion on your Aunts face & then seeing Amaury & Natti cuddling 😁😍🥰🥲. What a lovely birthday for your Aunt. ❤️🇬🇧 Xxxxxx
When u describe ur home as breathless and colorful is a understatement. It is so wonderful to see color that God made, and brushed all over every inch of ur home and I am so happy looking at eye candy over and over u dont know where to look first. Although other people have different tastes for Christmas which are beautiful but my taste is color and it took my breath away when I seen ur home sharing my taste. Very beautiful.and dreamy and what a talent and taste of Christmas on such a high level of Christmas. Thank u again for the "eye candy" truly magnificently done.
I'm speechless!!! My face looks just like hers. Lol 😲 look at that China room. Feels like a fairytale I'm in watching this. The butler......the sink.. this house, museum......thank God this has been preserved. Gasping for air look at that bedroom the furniture is Devine. I must go here !!! 🙏 I love horse's. I can ride !!!! Unbelievable this place . My Dream house !!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. I just loved every part of this vlog including the family gathering at the restaurant. The operatic performances are fantastic even though we saw snippets. xx
