Join us in the Dordogne! I am staying in a beautiful ancient stone house in the stunning Perigord Nord, having the most relaxing time imaginable. But the local area is too temptingly lovely not to venture out on some visits. Philip and I visit the world-famous market at Sarlat to buy delicious French delicacies, before stopping at a glorious antique shop and choosing some beautiful pieces for Lalande...

When you are reassembling the chandelier back at Lalonde, place soft cushions, blankets or piece of foam under the assembly area, so if any of the pieces fall, they won't break on a hard surface. Gorgeous chandelier!

This village in France looks like a Hollywood set. Being a citizen of the States I would bet that I have never been in any building/structure over 200 years old. If that even. Just incredible to think of what great Architecture they had 900 years ago and standing still today.

@chasethecat3839 3 года назад

Oh there's more old buildings in America than you probably realize. Definitely NOT as many as in Britisn/France and other countries nor of the size usually. I never noticed until I started doing some biblical and historical research. Take a look around the next time you go to town. Usually its court houses or government buildings snx they usually have Roman features. Many in America have been torn down or lost in the Great fires (Baltimire, MD, CHICAGO, IL, San Francisco, CA, etc (and most Catholic and other churches are 100-200 years old but were destroyed in fires and rebuilt. As we do not have many specialty builders, they do not rebuild in that style or they rebuild over the initial structure. You can tell by the windows at basement level rdbuilt with a different brick of concrete. You have to look close. I have hundreds of photos of these old buildings. Sorry to go on..just very passionate about historical architecture. 🙂

I don't remember if it was at the cathedral, but along the wall of one side of one of the town's churches was a line of bullet holes, chest high, where the Nazis executed many important members of the Resistance. I also attended an outdoor theater festival there. Thank you for jumpstarting these wonderful memories of my time in the Dordogne.

Ahhh... this truly is the life! I've enjoyed accompanying you on your getaway; I had such a good time- the shopping, the food, the animals! I love the sheep; they are one of my favorite animals; so sweet and innocent and a joy to watch and I see that you have named a deer after me such a nice way to end my trip thank you so much for having me along I can't wait to see where I will go next a DIY project? A party at the Chateau, a whole day antiquing, cooking in the kitchen, clearing out the attic or touring the many rooms in the Chateau? The possibilities are endless! Thank you all for brightening my day and allowing me to go on adventures without leaving my house.

I enjoyed this vlog so much, a great mix of the best of France, beautiful town and buildings, the markets, food and wine. Thank you both.

Good antique finds! The duchesse brisée is parfait! Good decision. And the fauteuils are also a nice choice. Well done, Stephanie!

Oh my gosh that cottage! In that idyllic setting. And the market. Makes me want to go to France and stay at least a full year. That’s the only way to fully enjoy it.
