The Chateau Diaries Episode 178 ✨🏰✨
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️
We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life!

So happy that Stephanie no longer has to huddle in her car on the dark lanes near Lalande in order to upload her blogs. A round of cheers for Ian!
Kat comes blasting in like Cosmo on Seinfeld!
Hahahaha yes she sure did🤣
Love Her!
YES!!!
She is such a jewel!
I've been staying home, except for doctor visits and one trip to the nursery for flowers, since March 10th. I have groceries delivered. This is the highlight of my day and almost the only thing keeping me sane (I think.).
Hope you’re doing okay!xxx
@@chloelouise9797 I had a bad flu reaction years ago, where my immune system didn't stop one it had attacked the germs. It started to unwind the coating around my nerves. I could barely walk or swallow. It took a month to recover. So, I am just being in extremely cautious. now.
@@jeffreyskinner7167 It becomes a challenge to entertain oneself after a while! Stay well. We'll get through this.
Me too since March 13. Weird though, how I freaked out in March/April & got grocery delivery but now we do go get groceries ourselves and our covid numbers in our area are 8x what they were in April. This must be what boiling the frog is like. Thank goodness for Stephanie and her friends! And, UA-cam videos showing Persian carpets being washed - so satisfying!
@@joanneharper9090 oh blimey. That’s horrendous - Sending you love in this time xx
Yay internet!! No freezing in the car this winter!
I think Stephanie might come to miss the ritual of traipsing up the road to find the internet sweet spot!
I think she will miss the bed more!!
Stephanie, your new pink stone gravel in the courtyard echoes the lovely pink sky.😘
🎶🌿💜🌿🎶
This was so beautiful ....
@@karinevahofbauer5960 , yes, indeed! :-D
Stephanie and
Philip did a wonderful job upholstering Marmaduke Settee. Creating new patterns from scraps takes skill and artistic talent. You both should be enormously proud of yourselves.
Are they dating? They are so cute together. Much Love
At first I thought Philip was gay ( nothing wrong with that ) but now I almost feel like they seem VERY close and Stephanie doesnt seem to mention Michael anymore ... i wonder ...
@@Horus070 MMnnn he's a love but I rather think the Clarinet playing Chef might be a contender?
Stephanie, there's nothing wrong with occasional extravagance! It's what makes all of the hard work worthwhile. My dad says "Life is not always about 'need.'"
Every time I see the courtyard with the box hedge I can believe how complete it looks now! So beautiful, great job team LaLonde!
CONGRATULATIONS on getting internet sorted !! Ian's the star ⭐🏰
I know many have said it before
but thank you for the escape.. Even if it is only for a little while you managed to take my mind off my problems and make me smile. Thank you all!!
Phillip is so cute. He mended your apron. Such a renaissance man. And his laugh is adorable. Those dishes are beautiful.
The sofa, something Frankinstien Marmalade whatever, anyway looks great. Perfect even! Phillip did a wonderful job. Putting together misaligned pieces was a terrific idea that worked out. I am impressed!
I actually lol’d when Stephanie said The EBay and didn’t realize it! I’m sure she will have had a chuckle when she put the vlog together. Another excellent end to my day! X
I think I am watching too much Stephanie TV. I woke up at 3am today laughing to myself with the comment the Elusive Nic said to Philip.........."Is there anything I can cook that WON'T kill you". ha ha ha :-)
Wooohooo for being able to upload at Lalande!!!
After watching this video, I immediately went on eBay and ordered some replacement bowls for my china set!
Living life like its golden...That château knows how to have fun!
Marie, the salad looks yummy. I love chickpeas in everything. You need to start a cookbook!
yes! Food and cocktails by Marie! She is so lovely and adorable
I love the e-bay, too, grin. The soup bowls are spectacular!! Ohhh and the internet works!! Hooray! Cheers with red wine.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when Mummy sees this one...more porcelain AND the entire household hanging out in the kitchen in their jammies drinking cocktails! Actually it looks like really good fun and Stephanie definitely has something to celebrate ! We don’t always remember just all that she goes through to get her posts out to us each week. So CHEERS to Ian for a job well done and to Stephanie having more time to relax. 🍸
Yes, it must be such a relief for hef
Thank God for Ian!!!! He has been such a blessing. Wish he had been there to celebrate with them.
HOORAY FOR INTERNET!!!!!!! That is amazing!
Wow! My wife is still practicing Thanksgiving and yes, I am the test group.
I would love to see the wall behind the stove covered with tile and a few copper pans. The kitchen is lovely and the tile would finish it off. Best to all you wonderful people.
Look back on past videos. Stephanies father was designing a tile mural for that space. It will be spectacular when its done.
@@ShipCreek do you know approximately when that was mentioned? Thanks for the reply.
Brilliant 🤣i love it when Kat came into the kitchen, right on que😄, marie should bring out a recipe book on cocktails 😉fantastic news Stephanie that you can now upload your vlogs from home🤗💕🌻
I’m curious on the red beet and chickpea salad too
@@pebblesmiller9026 definitely is. Still am curious to know what she put in that salad. Looks so yummy - I love red beets
I love the vlogs like this...makes me wish SOOO bad that I could be apart of your lockdown crew :'(
I’m so glad you’re able to upload at home and not have to be out there in the cold. Yay!!! The soup bowl sets from “the eBay” look great. 👍🏼
Dear Stephanie and All, I’m so happy you can finally vlog from home after spending countless hours in your car chasing the signal. We are so fortunate you never gave up on it, it must have been exhausting! So glad you all the celebrated with cocktails en negligee! Lovely to see Philip enjoy his applesauce cocktail. And Selmar soon baking appeltaart. Classic Dutch delights. Says the Dutchwoman 🥰
Stephanie so glad that your WiFi 💻connection is finally sorted!!! Cocktail🍹🍸 book please!!!! Or cocktail calendar!! 😀 Actually the calendar is a good idea!! Also with all the different volunteers with maybe a short description of them. Sorry got carried away with myself!! 😅🤗💝
I like your thinking!! It all sounds good to me. Maybe even a LaLande cookbook/cocktail book with pictures of the LaLande crew... sounds wonderful!
Just more wonderful ideas for La Lande Merch!!!!
Where is Hanni? I thought she bought something similar??
I love how d’Artangnan laughs
I love how you call HIM that.... Perfect nickname for Philip
In the apple sidecar drink you could use a cinnamon stick as part of the garnish
Or cranberries soaked in sweet vermouth
Yes, brilliant suggestion
Lalande is getting posher by the day 😂 beautiful gravel lighting and now internet absolutely wonderful , love it 💕
that is too funny Philip mending your apron with the Peacock pin!! cute.
Yay. For internet service. That should be life changing. Phillip did a beautiful job on the sofa.
Stephanie - Kat has soo much talent and personality, and great Camera presence - get her in front of the camera - you deserve more than 97k subs
A real treat, as per usual. Love to all LaLanders 💖
Marie’s chickpea salad looked delicious! I would love her recipe. Maybe Lalande cookbook? That would be awesome!
When I think I have reached the limit of my joy watching your videos, I am once again delighted to watch an even more enjoyable and lovely episode. So relaxing and beautiful!
So glad you can upload from home!
Since it's almost Thanksgiving Day, I want to say that we are all thankful to "the LockDown" for such an amazing year of prosperity, creativity and goodwill at LaLande. Thanks to Stephanie for sharing her dreaming and daring do!
Every now and then, much to my surprise, I find an episode I’ve missed. So glad to see this one. It is so happy and beautiful.
YAY, Ian!!!👏👏👏
The back of the settee doesn't have to be the same as the front. It just has to be complementary. Good job Phillip.
You seem even happier than usual lately.
And so does Marie it seems ... more relaxed, laughing and enjoying the natural surroundings 🌳🌿☘
The thing that makes All the difference is you all are REAL! Kind, considerate, FUNNY PEOPLE.. quirky Adorable darlings! That's why everyone watches and gives to you. And wants to keep you their secret.🙏❤️🌹😇😎👍🎉😵😂😍
Pass the word around to family and friends so Chateau Diaries can reach 100,000 subscribers+!
I dont think I've missed a single video,and I am sad that I've not once seen anyone there make a fuss of or even stroke Diesel.
I saw Philip stroke D. as he walked by, at the last cadeaux .
That is called Shabby Chic Style with your table decorations...Old with new and modern with a natural background...LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your videos....Peace, Love and Light!!
Good choice of color for the sofa, matches the area rug.
The day has finally arrived that Stephanie can download at home!!! THANK YOU WIFI GOD!! 🥂🥂🍾🎇🎇🎇
Wifi God = Ian 😀🙌🏻✨
@@christinevr7698 That's a fact 😀
It's uploading speed of the telephone ADSL service that's the problem, especially now that the vlogs are so more frequent and with additional people now at the Chateau 🙂
So look forward to Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays! Its 2 ish here and I always take my work break to watch! Love it!
Merci Philippe d’avoir filmé de près ces magnifiques “bols-tasses” de porcelaine “fleurs de lys” ! Et quelle chance que Marie ait spécialement préparé ce subtil cocktail aux pommes! Super idée !!!
So love the kitchen, truly is the heart if the house/chateau. Love getting ready for Christmas.
Hurray - for your Internet success - all of your cooking sessions that all your lalanders make - just make me drool
Haha marmaduke is the name of our car and my dog is named Sir Maximilian the 3rd!!
😄😄😄
The Christmas cake is making me feel so festive! All the best to the Lalanders 💓
Watching while getting an infusion. THE BEST way to do it! Thanks, Stephanie!!
Stephanie Jeroslow do well fellow La Land Lover,
My wife had a heart procedure in August, she watched the lawnmower episode to keep calm as two people worked in her groin area to stop a bleed. This show is as good as medicine. My wife stayed calm and has recovered nicely.
@@deanwall9291 I totally agree!
Each episode is uplifting. Your wife is very brave
Thank you for making me smile for 34 entire minutes!
No no not purple 😊😊😊🤣
Congratulations on the Internet Connectivity!!! Yay Ian and Hanni!!! The cocktails look so wonderful! And the Christmas cake does as well. Looks like great fun at LaLande. I think the purple walls will be so lush, especially if you can have some teal and gold highlights! I think it will be very pretty-- don't worry, Natie💗. Sending love and hugs from across the Pond!
🙏🏻🏰💗⚜️💜⚜️💗🏰🙏🏻
Hello Stephanie and all of the amazing, beautiful, and charming Lelanders! I just discovered your channel this year and have been watching all of your videos with my mom. We LOVE your vlogs so so soo much! Thank you so much from the bottom of me and my mom's hearts for sharing the Chateau, your lives, and around France! We are inspired by all of your creative and amazing projects around your chateau to decorate our own home and in our artwork as well! We both are artists and are very much into antiques, old architecture, and global culture so your videos bring us a beautiful light during such a difficult year. So thank you so much for every video that you post! Love you all very much
I just wanted to Thank you for your vlogs! Being in the U.S. is stressful right now and I look forward to your vlogs everyday! You are such a neat person and I love everyone on there but I am missing your mummy so much! She is adorable! Best wishes and Happy Holidays !
So happy you can upload at home now!Love the hot red!
Oh my goodness - that candlebra on the kitchen table!!
The sofa/bench turned out so well! Bravo 👏 ! But please tell me that those red curtains are going to be re-homed?😘
Hey Steph- so chuffed you’re able to upload so much quicker and from the comfort of your bedroom! More time to kick back at the end of the day. Thank you Ian! 👏
The couch looks beautiful great job❤️
I’d been slacking on this channel when my university work picked up, but 2 minutes in I immediately want to catch up on every episode! I can’t wait to see what goes on during the holiday season, best wishes to the whole Lalande team!
OMG...Dan did such a wonderful job on the courtyard...I can't wait to see the roses bloom...I think the red with one yellow rose will be Fantastic....Then you can walk right out the door and get red and yellow cut roses...So Spoiled!!!
Stephanie, I love Your Vlogs and The Whole way you treat People Like Other Commenters say You are Helping Us Forget What is happening for a while Thank You
Stefanie !yes you can find dark brown soft sugar in France !its called sucre brun Vergeoise !!
My all around favourite thing to watch ever!! Thankyou Stephanie and the gang at Lalande! ❤️
Marie, cauliflower cheese, one of my favourite meal. My mouth is watering at the thought of cauliflower cheese and warm buttered thick slices of white bread. Yummy. X
I enjoy watching how Philip an Stephanie tease each other.
I miss Michael Petherick...he’s more suited for Stephanie...more manly, and doesn’t snort when laughs like Philip does.
@@sheelah52 aw I love Phillips laugh.
Best channel ⭐️⭐️🧡🧡
Anyone else have a drink for the end of the video? I makes you feel like you get to celebrate a little and you are not alone at cocktail time.
WOW!!! I'm really impressed at Marie's myriad extraordinary skills: florist, cook, now mixologist😮 We miss Naty and Selmar at the cocktail party. Well done Ian, on the internet connection. Stay healthy and safe all. God bless!
A little pinch of nutmeg in the cheese sauce. Try it!
YES! I'm on time this time...so exited! 🤗 Love& good times to all! 💞🥂🍾🎉🎊
I am so impressed by the sofa. It looks wonderful!
And Marie's robe is just so elegant and stylish 🙂
Consomme bowls are beautiful and so apropos your your mother. Cream soups are especially grand in them.
In my family, everybody takes a turn to stir the Christmas cake and make a wish.
The multitalented Marie.
"we could just have the soup in a normal soup bowl.."
"GOOD GOD!"
😂
I send my dear love to Marie, who has eventually come back . I was so sad that she gave up the flower shop and there were no more blogs. Marie your time will come, in this wonderful company of your foster family you will grow inside.
I think the couch looks so good and the redoing in the back isn’t even noticeable with the patching great job
your variety of content in your vlogs are great, you deserve the success! My best to Mummy and Percy, it's wonderful they were reunited! I hope Mason is doing well. Sad that relationships have been even greater distanced than before.
Thank you all and I send my best wishes!
Only seems yesterday that cake was being made this time last year!
Advent: Michael wearing that same apron
I was thinking the very same thing! Time flies when you are binge watching The Chateau Diaries.
Love love love your youtube channel, 🥰 I live just outside the very pretty town of Sarlat in the Dordogne and share your love of living in France ❤️
This one made me so happy! Christmas Cake, Pajama Cocktails and Internet! Who could ask for more! Love you guys! 😘🥰
Hello All! Stephanie, you said you cannot get dark brown sugar in France, but, if you can get your hands on molasses, you can make your own brown sugar, just mix molasses with white caster sugar until you reach the desired darkness.
The Christmas cake sounds so delicious. Maybe someone could make a "companion" cake to go with it, like a traditional Buche-de-Noel. You can't have too many cakes at Christmas.
The rug and the settee ,may they never be separated again !. At least on my screen the colors are gorgeous 💖💖💖
Great vlog, so much fun wish I was there. I haven’t seen Hanni for a long time has she left Lalonde? Hooray for the Internet thanks to Iain. Wow, that must be a relief. I can see why you are celebrating; it deserves a celebration or two 🎉🎉🎉🎉🍸🍸🍸🍸😍😍😍😍🌈
Hanni went to london for a few days and got stuck there with lockdown.
@@Jayrose59 oh thank you for sharing that. Ah,it’s to bad miss not seeing her again.😥
Oh, what fun!! Stephanie, you have inspired me to make my Christmas cake and for the first time I will try the Delia Smith Christmas cake! I will look that up right now!! Thank you, sweet Steph!! You guys as such fun. You make my heart sing!!
Soup, consomme, broth, Soup isn't just liquid stephanie!
The sofa really does look amazing! Well done, you two!
Great idea for your office to be there, for the off season, Natie! 💗
I’m so glad about the internet!!! Yay, Ian!
This was so much fun! Thank you all for sharing. 💗🙏
Hello lovely lalanders and especially Stéphanie because you remind me of Catherine Deneuve in Peau d'âne when she is singing and baking a cake for her Prince! You do look like her! Love all your vlog!😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🤗 Take care and stay safe ! Bisous from France 😘
Ouiii ... moi aussi j’ai pensé à Peau d’Ane 😂... mais là, i y a des raisins au Calvados 😂
@Christine Coeurjoli, les grands esprits se rencontrent ! 😉🤗😘
Love French everything!!!
@Summer Hope personally Ive notice there are a lot of Americans watching this channel and many are sending gifts, becoming patreons ... maybe Stephanie wanted to display it .
Those bowls you found on the Ebay are so pretty! Hopefully Mummy will love them when she sees them on the UA-cam. (Giggles) I love you, Stephanie. The sofa looks amazing as well. Great job! Thanks to Ian for getting the internet sorted. I hope that helps you and Marie with your work. No need for you girls to freeze your tootsies off in the freezing cold this winter.
Chateau Lalonde is keeping the world sane right now. You should all get a reward for that. Plus we are so jealous that you get to hang out everyday with such a great group of people. I have always secretly wanted to live in a commune of like minded people.
Wow Stephanie, that purple will look absolutely stunning on the walls. Wonderful as a back drop to enhance the beautiful furniture and your fathers fabulous works of art. Love it. ❤️
