Shooting your videos in 4K really bring the chateau to life. After 3 years, a special shout out to Robert, who gave up a career, sold his business and made a journey to a foreign country and has had to learn a new language all the while this adventure was not HIS dream, but he supported the family in their choice. Bravo Robert.👍
I adore your content . A mix of your individual stories, personal growth living in a new country and the creation of a family business. I can’t express how eagerly I look forward to a new video. I realize how much work is required to give us these small glimpses into this Chateau world you’ve created. From the bottom of my heart, thank you .
Your workshops look so enticing. The old pool appeared as if there would be constant maintenance issues. You will be happy with an entire new system and a spa that you can use beyond summer. You have a lovely family that works well together.
How exhilarating and calming to feel like you belong in your new culture. You’re settling into your workshop schedule which will become easier too! It’s a huge accomplishment.
I really relate to the comfort of getting past so many of the “first times”. For the first time today, I passed a couple (in our town of Pau) as I was walking into town and they gave me a ‘bonjour’ before I saw them and they had big smiles on their faces. I was so surprised! They greeted me! It’s the little things that make us feel like we’re home.
So glad you reworked the pool. I don't think the old one could have been patched and it wasn't in keeping with such a grand home and wonderful family. I hope you all can enjoy it soon!
I have tears of joy, imagining what life was back in history at the chateau with dinner parties, and here you are bringing the chateau back to life!! Opulent table shapes and dinner parties. People enjoying themselves with wine and talk...beautifully done!!
You live in the most magnificent Chateau with stunning surrounding gardens. It doesn't seem so long since you moved l am so happy for you all that your plans are all coming together. Thank you for taking us on your journey. Simply wonderful.❤
Oh how ridiculously exciting! I literally can't wait to see the finished pool and surrounds...so glamorous and fitting for your beautiful chateau. Also, the paintings from the last workshop were wonderful! Your mum did such a fantastic job...Bravo! So looking forward to the next update...in the meantime, I'll just working on my rather tiny cantina renovation (still very exciting to me!) Bisous Marisa xoxo
Its so strange... i was looking at your website thinking...I wish they had a pool. I would love to stay there and be able to swim in summer time. Magical. So many guests will love this pool!
vous êtes une belle famille , libérée, pleine d' arts, je suis très content qu' une famille qui vienne de si loin , s' intéresse à la France vous irez loin, vous êtes pros , un château plein d' histoire....et le chef de famille ne dis dis rien, mais fait tout....
@@ladyofthechateau Yes, a generous comment. Probably more generous than the shocking "heart" you left to MnGirl1994 after she wrote about the shoddy work and the dishonesty of the French artisans and workers… I really hope for you that the artisans who use to work for you won't see your very "generous" approval.
It seems like only yesterday that Penelope was draining and cleaning the pool, and then everyone joined in with various tasks such as putting pebbles in between the stones on the deck/terrace. How far you've come! I think that the upgrade is a good investment. The summers have become increasingly hot it seems. The pool will offer eco-friendly heat relief. I laughed at Caroline calling Troubadour a land animal and Wendell a water dog as well as at Penelope with her job title of resident mermaid. Maybe y'all will have water yoga workshops if there is such a thing. Or synchronized swimming. I think the maze is the crown jewel but it's hard to beat a water feature. I'm sure that it will be splendid!
I get so excited every time I see a new video has come out!! The pool is looking amazing and I can’t wait to see the finished product. I have been very concerned about the big glass door replacement and hope you guys will share that adventure a bit in the next video 🤞🏻
Agree that the pool design is fit for a chateau ❤ Next summer, the first day it's hot and you jump in, the pain of getting it finished will be a distant memory. P.S. thanks for the reminder to buy a lottery ticket so I can attend one or 6 of your retreats 😅
Lovely presentation beautiful photography, lovely messages you’ve come along way in the two years that you’ve been there it’s wonderful to see and be a part of from a distance
Another great vlog. So interesting to see the progress being made on renovations and how you're adapting to life in France. The vlogs are thoughtfully put together and I enjoy them very much. Keep up the great work. I hope to visit one day.❤
How I adore watching all of your gift come together to create such luxury in art and togetherness.How gifted you all are...and what a gorgeous pool "Fit for a chateau!" just as Penelope said!! You really are the dream team. So inspiring seeing you all realize your dreams of a chateau. 🏰🧜♀🎨
You captured the activity , beauty and essence of what the workshop was like . Your editing was impeccable. Although I wish you vlogged more I have to say that settling down with a glass of wine and this much content is the best ! I hope you meet your goal with the pool soon - I can’t wait to see the finished product. It is going to be stunning! ❤
It was great seeing Wendell splashing around in the unfinished pool! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product... and hope Wendell is still allowed to use it! You all do such amazing work, so organized and thought out!
🦘🦘🦘Good Evening from Queensland Australia. My gosh how far you’ve come and what you’ve achieved. Bravo. The pool is your stamp on the chateau. How wonderful I’m almost giddy with excitement from this video 🦘🦘🦘
Yes, I feel the same. Everyone has worked endlessly and look at all that's been achieved in only three years! A very late... or very early... 2.15am in Sydney. ❤🦘
I kind of sipped the atmosphere of the workshop and the masterpieces it brought to life, especially the allegedly not-yet-completed one. Not to forget the beauty of the dinner table. The Lady of the chateau is NOT a tramp! I also love the shape of the pool. This is really uplifting the place and so chateauy. Wish you all the best for its completion and every other coming project. I'll follow!
That will be an amazing new pool! Love that you shared all the thought you put into your decisions. I did get a little nervous seeing your cat and an enticing hole in the wall to explore. While visiting my parents my cat hid in the basement storage room and found his way into the ceiling of the room next door. We could hear him, but couldn't reach him. Thank goodness he found his way out! Hopefully your walls are solid stone. Your chateau is gorgeous, and your retreats look like they're elegant, but also a great experience. not just a vacation. Glad you can relax more and enjoy them now that you have some experience and feel more at home in France.
Loving the new pool design...look forward to see the completion. It will be stunning. Thanks for the update. The château & grounds are soooo beautiful ❤
So happy to see another one of your videos! I always enjoy what you share with us. The pool and area around is going to be beautiful! Another great thing for your guest but also for all of yours relaxation and fun. The artists are very talented. I enjoy that you share their work with us. You're both extremely creative.
Oh Wow What a Big Job The Pool. It's Going To Look Fabulous When Done, It's Sometimes Difficult When You Want the workers To Speed Up and They Go at There own Pace Over Months, Will Look Fantastic With Plants and Plants In Pots. Xx 😘
Wow, the pool reno is its own documentary! It's going to look gorgeous. If Julia and Carolina will be housed in the new East Wing once it's finished, does that mean that everyone will get a permanent space so there will no longer be the need to move to accommodate workshop guests? That would be a huge benefit. Can't wait to see plans for the new layout of all the spaces!💚💗💛
Bonjour ladies and Robert… and the fur babies ! What an interesting video. So happy that all the hard preparation and the workshops went according to plans, leading to a success. Bravo tout le monde! Les travaux pour la nouvelle piscine avancent bien, ce sera magnifique ; j’ai tellement hâte de la voir terminée et dans toute sa splendeur ! Bravo et sincères félicitations ❤❤❤
Hi ladies so excited to see your new video, and how busy you all are ,love the little sit down area Julia outside the studio so cute 🎉🎉 so sorry for you guys the waiting for the pool area to be finish but it's going to look awesome and enjoyable for those summer ☀️ day. But your chateau still the most beautiful chateau ever love it 🎉🎉🎉
It may be a good thing the pool is taking awhile. It allows the ground to settle and fill areas needed and other issues to come to light before you are finished. It's cool that you saved the pool for a larger separate video! I love to see your coverage of your art retreats, it is very cool!! I retired and am pursuing my love of calligraphy & art!
I so look forward to the footage of the chateau and the grounds. It's remarkably beautiful. And also good to know that it's benefitting from committed stewards. Congratulations on all of your successes.
Where to start? That painting workshop was divine -- the artist says his painting wasn't finished? He knows but the painting is full of the time - the time he was there working -- information, decisions. Well worth framing. I'm so impressed with his work and, as Caroline says, this workshop felt like an artist residency. And I love that Maruca is a real artist herself; it lends some depth to all the decisions about the workshops. And then the clear out of books? Keep some of those old geography books; it's fascinating to look back and see what was knowledge of an earlier period. I'd love to dig into that. Finally, the footage of the pool renovation from first to now is so well done. You really know how to edit a video (I've never done it but watched plenty!!!) You are all pulling together. One question -- has Rob found his niche in the village, among the French or expats? He left a very intense business for another intense business, totally different. Carry on as you are so beautifully doing right now!
Congrats on your Retreat success. Yes, watching DIYers in rural France they have a lot of problems with shortage of products and companies having a different timetable to yours and they move a lot slower, but overall they are very good.
The new pool really is a beautiful thing--"fit for a chateau," as Penelope says. From watching other videos about life renovating in France, it seems like you have to get used to long waits, part of the French style of relaxing don't rushing life, perhaps?
UA-cam dumped my subscription, so I am just returning to see this after an absence. Nice to see progress in what you have been planning, not just with the pool, but also with your apartment. Once you have been able to go through all of the remaining artifacts and ephemera, would you consider inviting an auctioneer or brocante dealer to make an offer to remove what you don't want? Maybe there are some precious or necessary objects to retain for use at the chateau, but I'm sure that at some point you might need to just be free of the material burden. Anyway, congratulations on the successful completion of the painting workshop. Enjoy some rest and relaxation now!
What an epic first project but it will be a pool/spa fit for a chateau! You'll enjoy decades of pleasure from this beautiful pool area! It will be worth the wait and I think you should fill it with champagne to christen it! HA! Not really but there should be several bottles of champagne at it opening! Cheers and Carry On!
This chateau is beautiful beyond words. The surrounding gardens are stunning, the layout of the maze gives such a magical feel to complete the beauty of the lush gardens. Your interior design is gorgeous and tasteful. Question: Is there any chance the chateau walls can be pressure washed to remove the black build up of dust and mould, i hesitate to say mould, you need to see the walls physically close up on inspection. The chateau would glimmer pure white. Love your videos. You all make a great team. Love and wishes ❤
Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words! We’ve been keen on restoring the façade to its former glory since our arrival. However, as most of the château’s façade is listed as a historic monument, we are unfortunately unable to pressure wash the stone as pressure washing would harm the ancient stone and lead to uneven resurfacing. Before any cleaning can be carried out, the Historic Monuments Department needs to conduct testing for understand the health of the stone and dating of the walls to ensure that the proper methods are used. This is a long process, and we’ve only recently applied for it. The Historic Monument department will also involve specialized artisans with the right techniques to clean the stone without causing damage. We’re awaiting both the necessary test and approvals to proceed with this work but as you can imagine this process can take a long time, even several years. Thank you again for your support, and we’re so glad you’re enjoying our videos :)
@@ladyofthechateauThank you for your reply. I do understand it is a lengthy process. I wish you well with all your projects, not easy to handle these when you own an historical building. Glad your 3rd season has gone so well. Wish you all much love and success best wishes from Cape Town South Africa
Here is my question: How in the world are you going to keep Wendell out of that beautiful pool? If he is anything like my yellow lab, he will live in it. Please make sure you have some kind of floating device in the pool in case he gets in trouble. Love your channel and look forward to your beautiful videos.
Shooting your videos in 4K really bring the chateau to life.

How exhilarating and calming to feel like you belong in your new culture. You’re settling into your workshop schedule which will become easier too! It’s a huge accomplishment.
Such beautiful film making. I am so excited for you all to take your inaugural swim in the gorgeous pool
Thank you 😊 We can’t wait for it to be ready to enjoy 🏊🏻♀️

WHOO HOO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Your video production gets better & better too 🥇🏆🏅
I 😍😍😍 the intro drone footage ❣
The music & the blooming flowers 💟
Your retreats look awesome!! Oh and the pool's going to be gorgeous!!
You ladies are so organized. Learning from each event, and seemingly working as a great team. Looked like a fun retreat.🎉
So glad you reworked the pool. I don't think the old one could have been patched and it wasn't in keeping with such a grand home and wonderful family. I hope you all can enjoy it soon!
Renovations everywhere are never easy. There are always unexpected surprises.

You’re all so brave and calm. By now I would have given up and installed a dozen kiddie pools for your guests. 😂
🤭
In the painting done by your artist/teacher had me spellbound. The light coming in from the windows was luminous!
Everything is SO beautiful !! All of the plants and flowers in the shot behind your dad create a breathtaking scene. Excited to see the finished pool.

Welcome to Puy Vidal and thanks for watching :)
You are all really going to enjoy your new pool. 🏊♂️ 🏊 Fingers crossed for you that it’s finished by the end of the month ! 💦
Your going look back on this year and be amazed at your strength and all you accomplished, while hosting back to back retreats...

I dream and have put it out in the universe to attend your retreat. Thank you for sharing your journey. ❤
Wow! Everything is gorgeous! I think I said that for the last video, but it is so true. Jaw dropping gorgeous. You all have set the bar high❤
I'm laughing at the roladex you found - we had them in our offices long ago!! they worked great!
I hope you are already using the gorgeous pool!
Agree that the pool design is fit for a chateau ❤ Next summer, the first day it's hot and you jump in, the pain of getting it finished will be a distant memory.

His painting as well as your mom's is beautiful, who has a little brother?
Well it's a dream to visit someday
Lovely presentation beautiful photography, lovely messages you’ve come along way in the two years that you’ve been there it’s wonderful to see and be a part of from a distance

Yay! Another video! I haven't even gotten to watch it yet but can't wait to have time to see what you all have been working on!
How exciting! It’s going to be beautiful.
Wow, the pool reno is its own documentary! It's going to look gorgeous. If Julia and Carolina will be housed in the new East Wing once it's finished, does that mean that everyone will get a permanent space so there will no longer be the need to move to accommodate workshop guests?

Looking beautiful already , even before it’s completed….like yourselves, I can’t wait to see the end product

Anyway, congratulations on the successful completion of the painting workshop. Enjoy some rest and relaxation now!
Good for Roberto s as explain about tips in construction affairs😃
Much money in swiming p
When I painted I always used oils because I am a slow painter, never got used to acrylic’s.
Increíble como se ve Roberto de buen fuerte y saludable 😮
What an epic first project but it will be a pool/spa fit for a chateau! You'll enjoy decades of pleasure from this beautiful pool area! It will be worth the wait and I think you should fill it with champagne to christen it! HA! Not really but there should be several bottles of champagne at it opening! Cheers and Carry On!

That was fun to see the younger generation discover that phone index 😅
