ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and -whenever possible- lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and -of course- antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

Congratulations to Steve and Sarah on your soon upcoming nuptials. But Vivian Simon and Isabelle, your generosity knows no bounds . Isabelle, you brought tears to my eye when you wanted us to acknowledge all the hard work your mum went to to make the party happen. So Vivian, I personally thank you for being such a beautiful kind soul. Xxxx
I cannot believe what you both accomplish in a week! Super hero couple! I agree with your daughter - kudos to you, Vivienne! 🏆
Vivienne you’re always so gracious and giving!
I’m so amazed at the lengths to which Vivian and Simon have gone to make absolutely everything perfect for the bride and groom and their guests. They are the host and hostess with the mostest. Having hosted countless parties and events, small and humongous, over the decades, I totally appreciate what you’ve done for your friends. 💕💕💕
You've worked so hard to get your chateau and grounds in top condition. The details of your gift bags, invitations, the tea party are all so charming.
Dear Simon and Vivienne
You pulled out all the stops for Stephen and Sarah. I’m sure the two of them were over the moon. After 20 years, you’re so right about it needing to be feted. And you didn’t miss a beat!
Vivienne- you have such a good eye for absolutely everything. Really, Sarah is so thrilled with that unique ring Stephen gave her. And it is great looking.👍
Your entertainment agenda for your guests left out nothing.
Simon 🌟 You deserve an award for the transformation you gave that terrace. It’s set off perfectly with the gorgeous roses 🌹.
It was such a lovely day to get a tour of that beautiful little town
of yours. So picturesque.
Thanks to you two, S & S are going to have nothing but happy, happy memories of their Batchelor and Bachelorette Party 🎈(sans hospital run 😊)
Chateau Love, the grounds, the guests, the incredible tables-cape, amazing food - was all so lovingly thought out and executed. There was so much to grab one’s attention, I had to watch this twice. 😊
By the way, you not only have an awfully talented daughter, who seems very mellow whatever is going on, she seems very sweet as well. Good job all of you.
Isabella is so right! Vivienne, you put together a very thoughtful and delightful pre-wedding party for Sara & Steve 👸🤴and, on top, pampered all your guests 💆♀🏊♂. Now the happy couple can look forward to their initimate wedding day 👰♀🤵and look back on a wonderful night with their chateau friends. It was certainly a lot of work to get prepared, but with Simon and Isabella, the Chateau Love team executed to perfection.
Congratulations Steve & Sarah

Thanks for inviting everyone (your viewers) to the party! 😁♥️
Vivianne, you and Saint Simon have performed a miracle and provided the ultimate gift of happiness to another lovely couple. How you manage to do so much and come out still looking like a lovely vision, is unbelievable. I think you should also be crowned Saint Vivianne and take your position along side of St. Simon. Loved sharing your preparations and thoroughly enjoyed the pre-wedding fun. Vivianne, your decorative abilities are second to none: unique, elegant, and designed to perfection. Hat tip to all who assisted you. Especially Simon and his power washing machine… awesome! I also think a special mention should go to your lovely daughter, Isabelle. She is a special daughter who has shown she has class, beauty and isn’t afraid to show her love and support of her mother. I think her parents should be very proud of her. …. always watching from PA, USA
Wow ! Everything looked so beautiful .. Vivian you are an extraordinary hostess ! I absolutely love your vlogs and never tire of your content . You , Simon and Isabella come across as so real and down to earth . I love your attention to detail . Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and your beautiful home with us all . ❤

Vinegar salt wash and wash up liquid is great for the weeds and moss and there isn't any deadly chemicals
Scripture. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
AMEN ❤️🔥 🙏 ❣️
Love is wonderful but this feels threatening and controlling. Here's a thought: Perfectionism is a paralysing dead-end.
❤❤❤❤❤.from Kenya.incroyable préparation Viviane, Simon,Isabela,digne d'un palace 6 étoiles.... Félicitations aux "jeunes mariés"beaucoup de jours heureux ensemble,et avec votre belle famille de chatelains.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉,,,🍾🙏❤🏖️🌴🥂🍾🦒🐘🦓🌞🌹🌹🌹🌹

Bonjour Vivienne and Simon, Isabella, it would be my pleasure to show your mom some love. Everything you do Vivienne is so amazing, your talents have no bounds. You Simon and Isabella are truly what is means to have great friends. Your Chatelain crew are a remarkable group of friends, with lots of love, life and laughter. Congratulations again Sara and Steve. Love from N.Y.
Oh I am sure Steve and Sarah will keep their beautiful bachelor party in mind forever ! Nothing missed : charming decor, good food and drinks but most of all it is visible that this party was made with all the love you have for your friends and that s make things even better. Isabella is an angel and it is a blessing to have such a daughter. Congratulations to Steve and Sarah, happiness to you all ❤
Yes Isabella you are right. Your mom is the most gracious and hardworking chatelaine. I just adore your mom and your dad. Two beautiful human beings.
Vivian you did an amazing job on everything!! It was beautiful!! You probably needed a spa day after the event. Simon the power washing was amazing as well!!
Vivienne, you are the ultimate host and friend. Your daughter is right, you should be applauded and you have a huge heart.
Vivienne, you are such a gift to all that know you, and those who watch you. Your generous heart never fails to surprise me. I have been watching you for ages. Everything you do is with care and grace. I see your roses and I remember when they were pruned to the bone! Look at them now! Sexy Saint Simon's gallery photos are spectacular! Your Joan of Arc room is superb! I've watched this home grow and transform. One day it is my wish to visit your beautiful chateau. For now I'm here in Southern GA at the Southern Chateau unpacking!
Steve and Sara are blessed to have you and the wonderful community of Chatelaines! 🏰 Your table is beyond my wildest dreams!!!!!
Your rugs are very beautiful!
Vivian ? Once again A AWSOME party set up for YOUR JOYFUL friends. Blessing for all who no you.
I love this channel and you have become a weekly “must view”. Love your roses - they are stunning. As for watching the spring cleaning of the rugs, pressure washing the driveway, -wow everything is sparkling. Totally agree - Simon is a saint. Perfection personified!
Vivian and Simon you seem like amazing friends to have

Congratulations Sarah & Steve; such a lovely couple!! Isabelle, how thoughtful to show your appreciation for your mum! This was an amazing experience that you all created, especially Vivienne, but where would you be without your superman Simon behind the scenes too! The details you went to with the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party theme, were out of this world. A joyful occasion worthy of such effort, delicious food & Celebrations. I hope Steve is feeling better too.
Everything you touch turns to magical fairy dust !❤
Good evening Vivienne, Simon and Isabella from my home in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia.
I really love and admire your extraordinary, generous and gracious hosting. What a delightful few days. I am sure Sarah and Steve were truly touched and will treasure their B and B celebrations and memories, albeit without Steve's fall and hospital dash.
Vivienne, please, if you haven't already, try and source some gorgeous semi-precious stone drop earrings as I am a potential purchaser via your exquisite online store.
Oh, I meant to say hello to your adorable 🐕 Beaudesear (spelling/name quite possibly incorrect).
Thank you for the glimpses into your lives and your enchanting chateau and garden. ❤😂
Officials of the town put flowers at the war memorial (Monument aux Morts) for the Armistice Day which was on the 8th of May What you call in english Victory Day. Flowers are put at the War Memorial for 11th of November (1918) and on the 14th of July (Bastille Day) as well.
It's the same in every city, town big or small and village in France every year.
Vivienne you are such a beautiful soul, so filled with love, generosity and joy, putting so much energy and sparkle into everything you’ve done to bless Sarah and Steve’s party and of course, Simon and Isabelle right there keeping in step with you! You are such a lovely family and your goodness exceeds your generosity 🥰
