    I’m here in the Appalachian mountains and we’re surviving the recent hurricane. Hopefully at some time in people’s life they will learn perspective. Thank you, Stephanie, for teaching history because knowing it, we can understand that there is nothing new under the sun. We will survive!

      I was wondering about the Appalachia area, there must be families along the river or streams that were impacted,yet nothing in the news. There is a filmer who spent time with a lower income family I was thinking about that family hoping nothing happened for them.( In a bad way , losing even more)

    That chateau was beautiful but somehow cold, direly tragic and sad given the family's losses. They were such good-looking people too. It's interesting how in the past no amount of privilege could ensure against child mortality and medical problems that are mostly non-existent today. I'm really happy that you've acquired a new knight for your realm!

      They were cousins,their parents and grand parents were cousins, the whole lineage of the bourbon family was from the same tree in both side. His father and her grandfather were cousins,her own parents were cousins and also related to her husband,she married her own cousin, nothing would save her kids in this time either, their lineage was deadly.

Si je peux me permettre de vous conseiller trois autres châteaux à voir dans la région, château Pierrefonds, château Écouen, et Compiègne. Je voudrais vous féliciter pour le travail formidable qui a été effectué dans la chapelle de sauvegarde du patrimoine français. J'ai commencé à regarder vos vidéos il y 8 mois et c'est chaque jour vraiment un moment d' évasion. Merci beaucoup.

    What a fun day at Chateau de Chantilly. Now I know why they call a special cream cake, usually with berries, chantilly cake. Though I doubt the cakes here comes close to what you experienced there.
    Those knitted half ponchos look great and will keep you both snug in the winter.

    You are a fantastic storyteller, and I didn't want this vlog to end. I cried for the beautiful mom who lost 8 of her children and for the father who grieved. They were such attractive people. The tour of their chateau and little apartment on the island is something I have never seen before but only in books. Nothing here even compares. Marie fixed a yummy supper and the dishes are my favorite at your chateau. Thank you so much for the tour of Chateau De Chantilly.

    Stephanie, how did you achieve filming a bowl with pigeons/doves inside the Chateau while a real life beautiful wild pigeon walked on the balcony outside. Brilliant photography and educated commentary, such a Pro!
    We share a love and respect of pigeons, I was given an ASBO by Westminster Council for rescuing injured pigeons, it was so ridiculous that it took a few Court visits to make it stick.
    I still rescue pigeons, somebody has to and they received thirty two Gallantry medals for their bravery in The Second World War, and that was just for the ones that survived! Namaste 🙏

    So glad I discovered your visit at the Boulle exhibition (by chance !!) yesterday morning.
    I live not far from Chantilly so I decided to go today before the end of it tomorrow.!
    The chateau was overcrowded since it was a very sunny day and week end . However I really enjoyed the visit and also the private apartments with a guided tour. I must admit your comments were even more accurate than hers specially the details about that poor family. I highly recommend a visit to Chantilly for people visiting Paris , Chantilly being very close to the capital. 2 days would be perfect for enjoying a complete tour of the chateau and also the stables where you can attend an equestrian show . There ´s even a real tea salon on the main street ( the English shop) for those who miss scones and lemon curd …

    What a tragic story about love lost 😞. I couldn’t imagine losing the love of my life and all eight of my children! Kudos to this man for spending his wealth to leave something beautiful and culturally historical for the people of France who, as you noted, exiled him and his family. What else would he have done, with no immediate heirs to leave it to?! I have to believe that, as he purchased these things, they must, in some way, brought him closer to his loved ones. He did a great thing sharing so much beauty and, in turn, you shared it with us! Thank you so much!

    Thank you for this very special tour of the Chateau de Chantilly and the story of the family that called it home. A remarkable residence of such exquisite beauty and yet also filled with loss and deep sorrow. All a poignant reminder of mankind’s ability to build intoxicatingly grand and inspired works of architecture and artistry that inspire a sense of exhilarating wonderment even while gently hinting at subtle reflections on the fragility of human life. I know that when I visit historically significant residences, whether a modest abode or magnificent palace, I’m always intrigued by the stories of those who lived there. It’s the trifecta of human interest, art and architecture that drives my curiosity to look, listen and learn.
