What an episode! Dan, Kat, and team builders and puppies, AND Michael Petherick! Not forgetting the beautiful Marie with a fabulous feast! A jam packed, star packed episode! I’m exhausted now . Move over Lancelot! Make room for me! ❤❤
Michael and Stephanie paved the way with entertaining, authentic and creatively filmed channels becoming so successful that they underwrite the cost of their dream projects! Nick the beloved deserves a tree-top gathering having been an integral part of the core design, landscape and construction team❤🎉 Puppies and unexpected blessing keeping everyone in the love vibration. I wonder how the former bee inhabitants are getting on? Awe, and Brian’s reaction to the harmonies😂. I just love this whole crew❤
Wow, Wow! The chandeliers are gorgeous and perfect for the Chapel! Great find! And, the surprise of reuniting with Michael, was such a great surprise! Kat, Nick, Dan and all brings it all together! Thanks so much Stephanie for sharing your life with us
Suspect that she was more worried about not knowing how to care for a dog properly. She'd never had one before and she takes her responsibilities very seriously. The woman had a centipede rescued from the kitchen sink for pete sakes! She cares deeply.
@@crae3422 dogs are a lot of work but if you have the time it’s very easy. She’s a pet mom at heart. Lancelot melted the heart. Everything is easy when love is involved
@@CarolChillsCasually I'm betting time was a consideration given how much Stephanie travels and not wanting to leave a dog behnd all the time. They lucked out with Lancelot being such a good traveller and Marie taking such good care of him when Lancelot could not travel with them. And no, love does not always make things easier. Sorry.
@@crae3422 damn you really had me in the first half. Love does a lot. It’s not everything tho. But yes little Lancelot is a great traveler and they’ve been doing well with training him. He’s a good little pupper
@@CarolChillsCasually Lancelot is a most excellent little pupper. Sorry about the second bit, Carol. Was thinking about a much loved chid being in and out of hospital for years and the fight for their life. There was nothing easy about it but love is why the fight for them continued. Love can give us courage to face what seems and is overwhelming. And now i will shut up and instead concentrate on the delight that is Lanceleot and the Lalanders. Thanks for putting up with me.
WOW, just WOW!!! Those chandeliers are gorgeous. So perfect for the chapel. It's just going to sparkle in there! And the extra treat of seeing Michael. They ever elusive Michael! It was nice seeing a lot of the gang all together, getting a look at all the floors. It's just so exciting opening you tube and seeing that Chateau coming back together. And Marie out did her self again, cooking beautiful food for everyone. Every day I am excited to watch, your chateau and chapel getting rebuilt, and the Pethericks Chateau and the convent getting rebuilt, and Dan's chateau rebuilt, and a lot of others. There's Michael's sister Sadie and her channel, and Michael's brother Billy and all the gang there. It's all like one big family over in France rebuilding France, one Chateau at a time!
It's so good to see Michael and Stephanie back together again !!❤ Made my heart sing to see Michael and all the guys together !! ❤❤ Can't wait to see Sundays video ! Hope its a long video !!!!😉 ❤❤❤ Love to all y'all !!
Michael!!!! 😊 Stephanie, what a great day to see you two together again When I think of chateaux, I always think you and all the fun you had together. Please keep him safe. We need more Michael in our lives. You found the most pergect chandeliers for the chapel. I hope somehow the world will get a birds eye view when finished. I am always just godsmacked at beautiful it is. Wonderful to see Dan and Nick at his happiest. 😊 thank you. 🫠
"My God, they harmonise" - Brian 😂😂😂 Best line of an epic ep. It was like Avengers Assemble of the big chateau vlogs! Dan, Michael and Stephanie together was a great treat, well done for keeping it as a surprise! But also... Lake, Road trip, Nic's birthday, chandeliers, bbq, puppies, Stephanie on a ladder in a floaty dress, and back in time for Marie's slap-up dinner! A-MA-ZING.
I'd love to see and hear Michael's take on the chapel! Beautiful chandeliers!! I was kind of hoping you were going to acquire a puppy! Happy Birthday Nick!!
So lovely to see Michael back! He has been missed. This video reminded me of those you uploaded back in 2020 when I first started watching you. Lovely to see so many familiar faces. Xx
What a lovely video. Nice you had a catch-up with Dan at his Chateau celebrating Nicks birthday and meeting the puppies. Collecting Michael and bringing him back to Lalande for a lovely dinner by Marie ❤
This Chapel is so detailed. Those watching Dan's progress up the Chateau to complete the final floor with the help of his friends has been nothing short of a miracle. Way to go Dan.
Oh, can you imagine how amazing the chapel will be with the light from those magnificent chandeliers, candles and how they will bring all the gold, silver and palladium accents shining !!❤
It's truly going to be breathtaking. I'm half expecting magazine articles and French dignitaries showing up. And the Chapel with Davey's finished gardens around it is going to be a photographer's dream. Can see fashion shoots and all kinds of things happening at Lalande.
It was great to see all who gathered for Nick’s birthday! Happy to see Michael Pethrick at LaLande! It’s been too long Michael! I’m thrilled that Stephanie is officially a dog lover and knows the joy that dogs bring into our lives! Lancelot is adorable!❤
So pleased to see everyone at Chaumont. I wish Nick a very happy birthday but also seeing Michael has made me feel very happy. I do hope we will begin to see more of Michael at Lalande like the 'olden days'.
I’m unreasonably thrilled that Michael is back. I can’t explain it; it’s not like I’m THERE, or I know him personally… I just could not be more excited!!!!
Definitely a video with the lot... Happy Birthday Nick! Wonderful to see the old gang together, plus some extras, those puppies are growing... I didn't expect to see Michael, I get the feeling Lalande will be buzzing with excitement by the time Mummy and Percy arrive! ❤🦘
I love that men in Steph’s life just know her tenacity and cocksure attitude well enough to just roll their eyes at her tackling the ladder with a dog.
A sneak peak at what the lake is going to look like and a mile stone reached with Dan’s chateau and the floors in place! The chandeliers are absolutely gorgeous and what a glow they will be throwing when lit. What a great episode! I miss seeing Amaury and his skills!
The lake looked extraordinary! I cannot wait to see it back. Though prioritising the chapel was unquestionably the right decision. Definitely! Marie’s cuisine looks amazing. That soup!!!! I need a set of Queen Marie Antoinette plates myself! Thank you for another epic video. And Michael is visiting! He has no idea how loved he is!
HOLY MACKERAL! What a day! I’m with you Carolyne W… I’m exhausted! So much joy in one video, can life get any better than this? Thank you to our family of Chatelaines for always inviting us to join you on your adventures, big and small, to see beautiful places & wonderful people.
Well, this is an awesome episode! Dan, Nick, Kat and Michael! Amazing Chapel progress with absolutely gorgeous chandeliers!! This one will be one for the books! So happy to see Michael back at LaLande. It’s been way too long. And I’m so happy to see him making videos again and he’s been doing more on Billy’s channel! It’s like we’re getting the band back together! Dan, Michael, and Kat all in one place again!! Then there’s Marie’s gorgeous meal on that beautiful China, and puppies!!
I can almost literally feel myself turning into a lover of neo-gothic. So delightfully bonkers and weirdly modern at the same time. Their enthusiasm is infectious.
I can't wait to see the gorgeous chandeliers in situ. The gold shapes will glint and the lights will catch the gold and silver foil on the walls. They will compliment the chapel beautifully. Lovely for all of you to gather and celebrate Dan's accomplishment and Nick's birthday. Many happy returns to Nick!
Everything was beautiful, the view from Dan ‘s chateau, seeing Michael and Kat, the puppies, the chandeliers and last but not least the table dressing by Phillip was a triumph!
What an episode! Dan, Kat, and team builders and puppies, AND Michael Petherick! Not forgetting the beautiful Marie with a fabulous feast! A jam packed, star packed episode! I’m exhausted now . Move over Lancelot! Make room for me! ❤❤
Such a lovely comment...worded exquisitely.
Yes! I LOVED this episode!! So many lovely people in on spot! :D And the chandeliers added a beautiful shine to it all!
I was thinking the same thing! This was such a good episode 😂
Michael, you were missed!!!
There is just something special about your friendships with Michael and Dan
"Hope over reason" - shortest and most accurate description of Dan and his project.
the triumph of hope is also a great motto for it given its previous history during the war...
Well said!
This is Stephanie’s lived experience too and look at what she’s achieved and encouraged others to do as well 👏👏👏❤️
Michael and Stephanie paved the way with entertaining, authentic and creatively filmed channels becoming so successful that they underwrite the cost of their dream projects!
Nick the beloved deserves a tree-top gathering having been an integral part of the core design, landscape and construction team❤🎉
Puppies and unexpected blessing keeping everyone in the love vibration. I wonder how the former bee inhabitants are getting on? Awe, and Brian’s reaction to the harmonies😂. I just love this whole crew❤
Perfect motto for Chaumont.
Happy Birthday Nick! Happy to see Kat and Michael! Great to see you all together again, what a great group of friends.
The chandeliers are just so stunning. They will be the most beautiful topping on the cake.
Great to see the multi talented and very kind Michael Petherick again 🙂
I agree he just lights the room up with his smile 😊😊😊
Totally 😊😊
It's amazing what Dan has accomplished with his chateau. Also, so excited to see Michael back at LaLande❤
Wow, Wow! The chandeliers are gorgeous and perfect for the Chapel! Great find! And, the surprise of reuniting with Michael, was such a great surprise! Kat, Nick, Dan and all brings it all together! Thanks so much Stephanie for sharing your life with us
Happy birthday Nick
It's Nick that's kept everyone alive there with his safety measures. I almost never get a jump scare when Nick is there.
That is so very true.
where is Cameron?
Agreed. Nick is the steady ship in the adventurous winds, making sure everyone and everything is safe. Happy Birthday, Nick!!!
🌷⚜️🎉🎂🎉⚜️🌷
@@BigGBondiBeach Cameron had to return a week or two ago.
@@Caprabone That's Calvin, Cameron hasn't been at the château for a while
So good to see Michael and Kat the whole gang back together
Cat is with Dan, so you will see her around the site of his channel?
@@florentinalily really?? I had no idea.
The chandeliers are breathtakingly beautiful and so befitting of the chapel. Loved seeing Kat & Michael & those puppies! Happy birthday to Nick!
Nick not Mike (birthday)
Yay so happy to see you with Michael Petherick again !! ❤❤❤❤
They were the perfect team xxx
It’s so nice to see Michael and Cat again and those puppies how adorable. Happy Birthday nick
So great to see Michael Petherick again and on his channel!
It really is. Love what he's doing with the cottage greenhouse, the flowers, and his art. Genius, that one.
And don’t forget he’s leading on the chateau kitchen restoration!!
The chandeliers are wonderful.. So pleased to see Michael with you all at Nick’s birthday.
Steph has become the best dog mom ever. And she didn’t even want one
Suspect that she was more worried about not knowing how to care for a dog properly. She'd never had one before and she takes her responsibilities very seriously. The woman had a centipede rescued from the kitchen sink for pete sakes! She cares deeply.

Dan, puppies, Michael, Nick’s birthday… what a packed episode. Marie’s soup even matched the chargers. The food looked delicious!
I noticed that as well ...the only thing(s) missing were real cornflowers! 😉
It's so great to see Michael Petherick!! I just love his energy. I hope we will be seeing more of him.
It’s so good watching Michael back on his channel on UA-cam
Michael Petherick! 🎉 "Hope over reason" is a spot on description of Dan's chateau journey.
Michael!!! Love seeing Michael with you all❤️❤️❤️

Michael!!!! Oh how wonderful!!!!
So happy to see Michael at the chateau again 💛✨ The old episodes with Stephanie and Michael were so amusing and full of joy ✨✨✨
I agree 💯💯💯they were the best 🇬🇧
They were the best times xx
So true. I’ve really missed Michael.
Yes they were such joy filled episodes. Something lost.
So great to have an appearance of Kat! Loverly to see Michael. Happy Birthday, Nick.
Oh my gosh I screamed out loud when I saw Michael! So happy to see him again on the videos. Tell him we’ve missed him.
My favorite person Michael Petherick!!!!! Without Michael, Chateau Diaries would not exist. 🤍
Michael looks great and nice to see him visit both places Happy Birthday Nick.
I'd love to see and hear Michael's take on the chapel! Beautiful chandeliers!! I was kind of hoping you were going to acquire a puppy! Happy Birthday Nick!!
I so miss the dynamic of Stephanie and Michael Petherick....I watched the Advent Series in it with a ridiculous smile on my face 😊
I LOVE DAN!!!!!!! HE IS AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omgosh what a wonderful surprise to see Michael reunited with Stephanie ❤
Kat! Michael! The lake??!! That was cool to see! Oooo puppies!! Dan never shows them, so ty! OMG the chandeliers are simply breathtaking!!
Such a nice surprise seeing Michael The chandelier's are magnificent And all having a great down time with Dan Nick and Brien xx❤❤
Don't cringe Marie, but, my favorite bits of Chateau Diaries is when everybody is gathered in the kitchen. 💛
I agree...the kitchen truly is the heart of Lalande.
Also in MY kitchen. Who doesn't like to eat, I feed farmers. 😊 Love from Minnesota.
Mine too!
I agree. Te Kitchen is the heart of Chateau life.❤
I also agree with this...something soothing about the kitchen.
So much to love about this installment....but it really is nice to see Michael!
Nick looks so healthy and happy 😊
Yay, Dan definitely is the man. What a workhorse Nick is, he man’s an absolute legend.
Nick is amazing. If I can half as awesome as him at his age, I will be set for life!
So lovely to see Michael back! He has been missed. This video reminded me of those you uploaded back in 2020 when I first started watching you. Lovely to see so many familiar faces. Xx
They were great videos. I’ve just been watching some of them ❤
What a lovely video. Nice you had a catch-up with Dan at his Chateau celebrating Nicks birthday and meeting the puppies. Collecting Michael and bringing him back to Lalande for a lovely dinner by Marie ❤
Marie is sooo amazing!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
This Chapel is so detailed. Those watching Dan's progress up the Chateau to complete the final floor with the help of his friends has been nothing short of a miracle. Way to go Dan.
Wonderful to see Michael with the OG’s again!!!!!🎉❤
Love seeing Michael at the chateau!!
Love love love the chandeliers!!! Dan is absolutely amazing!!! I can’t wait to see Mummy, Percy and of course, my favorite Scotsman, Gerald!!!!!
It's good to see Michael Petherick! It's been awhile! Reminds me of the early years of the Chateau Diaries.
They were great videos so good to go back and watch them again and see all that has been achieved 👍😀
It is such a joy seeing the progress in the Chapel. And kudos to Stephanie for her ladder climbing skills. In a dress holding a dog!
Probably in heels, too.
Can just imagine Isabelle watching and crying out ‘Stephanieeeeeeee’ !
Oh, can you imagine how amazing the chapel will be with the light from those magnificent chandeliers, candles and how they will bring all the gold, silver and palladium accents shining !!❤
It's truly going to be breathtaking. I'm half expecting magazine articles and French dignitaries showing up. And the Chapel with Davey's finished gardens around it is going to be a photographer's dream. Can see fashion shoots and all kinds of things happening at Lalande.
Yes, I’m glad there’s 4 chandeliers in total. They will be even more spectacular lighting the chapel than merely three. 😍😍😇
Such a reward finding 4 chandeliers!
Marie amazes me every day… but that soup in that porcelain is just …. Incredible!
Puppies have the power to melt people.
It was great to see all who gathered for Nick’s birthday! Happy to see Michael Pethrick at LaLande! It’s been too long Michael! I’m thrilled that Stephanie is officially a dog lover and knows the joy that dogs bring into our lives! Lancelot is adorable!❤
This just gave me flashbacks of the earlier vlogs with Michael. Happy to see old friends again. And those chandeliers are gorgie . ❤
So pleased to see everyone at Chaumont. I wish Nick a very happy birthday but also seeing Michael has made me feel very happy. I do hope we will begin to see more of Michael at Lalande like the 'olden days'.
I have been wondering when Michael would be back. It is wonderful to see your friendship.
It's the best x
Michael lives 5 hours away and doesn't drive. He has his work on his families' properties or in his cottage or on his art work. 😂
Poor Phillip and the ladder escapade! I feel for him.
Marie’s delicacies keep getting better and better!
And the Chapel is looking amazing!
Michael and Kat! What a treat ❤😊🇦🇺
Lancelot is so sweet on his snuggly blankie with his new toy!
Good to see Michael again in your vlog. I just keep on smiling. What a wonderful day to celebrate Nick's birthday. ❤
THOSE CHANDELIERS ARE AMAZING! !!!! IM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE THEM UP!!!!
Loved this vlog but I have to say I am absolutely impressed with Marie's cooking!
Wonderful video , wonderful times!
And we have missed Michael soooo much …💘💘💘💘
I’m unreasonably thrilled that Michael is back. I can’t explain it; it’s not like I’m THERE, or I know him personally… I just could not be more excited!!!!
I feel the same way! 😀
Me to ❤❤❤Kate
I feel the same way. It's like they are our friends as well.
Special ❤
Agreed !!
So happy to see Michael back at the chateau
Wonderful video. Congratulations to Dan. It is so good to see Michael at the chateaux. It's been a long time.🎉
So glad to see Michael Petherick reunited with you all, I was looking forward to seeing this happen one day and here it is!!
Those Chandeliers are stunning ❤
Good to see Michael!
Wow what a fun video. I could watch for hours. Happy birthday Nick. So nice to see Michael back its been way to long! 🦋
Oh my goodness! Michael! What a special day! So happy to see everyone 😊❤
Definitely a video with the lot... Happy Birthday Nick! Wonderful to see the old gang together, plus some extras, those puppies are growing...
I didn't expect to see Michael, I get the feeling Lalande will be buzzing with excitement by the time Mummy and Percy arrive!
❤🦘
So happy to see MIchael and Cat with you all - Happy Birthday to Nick!
The beautiful lighting will look perfect in that magnificent chapel!!!
I love that men in Steph’s life just know her tenacity and cocksure attitude well enough to just roll their eyes at her tackling the ladder with a dog.
Yes, and then stand well back! Love that.
All we need now is Mummy and Percy
They will be here very soon. ❤❤❤
And Scotman! ❤
You are so much like your mummy stephanie
Skirting boards, chandeliers, Nick's birthday, puppies and celebrating the heights of Dan's work ... great video.
The chandeliers are so right for the chapel. ALL the people at Dan's chateau made a great video.
A sneak peak at what the lake is going to look like and a mile stone reached with Dan’s chateau and the floors in place! The chandeliers are absolutely gorgeous and what a glow they will be throwing when lit. What a great episode! I miss seeing Amaury and his skills!

The chandeliers are stunning. They will be awesome in the chapel. Each time we see it the chapel just gets more beautiful.
Can’t wait to see the chandeliers up! ❤ They are soo gorgeous!! So happy to see Micheal visiting you all.❤
These chandeliers are like jewelry! So WOW!
Well, this is an awesome episode! Dan, Nick, Kat and Michael! Amazing Chapel progress with absolutely gorgeous chandeliers!! This one will be one for the books! So happy to see Michael back at LaLande. It’s been way too long. And I’m so happy to see him making videos again and he’s been doing more on Billy’s channel!

The yellow chargers are my favorite. So nice to see so many of the gang together for Nick's birthday. And....oh the puppies....🥰
Beautiful and exciting! And a special thank you to Dole for banana boxes for moving projects that world over!
They are amazing for packing!!!
Lovely to see the old crew together again xx brilliant 🏰🥳
I can almost literally feel myself turning into a lover of neo-gothic. So delightfully bonkers and weirdly modern at the same time. Their enthusiasm is infectious.
lovely seeing you all together again you should do it more often 🥰🥰
Great to see Micheal back at the chateau!
Love seeing all the whole group together.
I almost fell off of my couch when I saw all the candles on Nick's birthday cake! LOL!!!
I can't wait to see the gorgeous chandeliers in situ. The gold shapes will glint and the lights will catch the gold and silver foil on the walls. They will compliment the chapel beautifully. Lovely for all of you to gather and celebrate Dan's accomplishment and Nick's birthday. Many happy returns to Nick!
Everything was beautiful, the view from Dan ‘s chateau, seeing Michael and Kat, the puppies, the chandeliers and last but not least the table dressing by Phillip was a triumph!
Happy Birthday Nick! You are sooo much more than an arborist! You’re amazing!
The chandeliers are beautiful!! Great to see everyone there with Dan.
What an amazing job. Love to see the progress. Great to see Micheal! I just watched his new video, so glad he is back!
