- Today we take a look at the unseen areas of the Chateau de Puyvidal: the garden, classified by the French government as a remarkable garden of France, the unrenovated wing and the incredible outbuildings...
Julia's dream chateau came up for sale during the pandemic, but she couldn't travel from America to see it in person! So she asked me to tour it for her, and to send her a video. I put together a chateau-hunting dream team, and went with Philip (the Sherlock Holmes of architectural details) and Davy (garden designer and great problem spotter & solver) to visit the Renaissance Chateau de Puyvidal.
This is an edited version of the video that we sent to Julia, which led to her and her family putting in an offer the very next day!
To see more of their adventures, check out the introductory video on their new UA-cam channel, @Lady of the Château Productions

wow wow wow. I think it will look unbelievable when all the flowers are in bloom.
This is one of the most beautiful places imaginable. I can tell the previous owners really cared for it exceptionally well.
I do hope the new owners understand how much money and time it is going to take to maintain this place. The costs will be staggering and this is a HUGE undertaking. This place in the wrong hands will fall to ruin and I would hate to see such a stunning Chateau be lost.
Full time Gardner with 2/3 assistants minimum, those pebble drives and paths ain't gonna rake themselves!!!
Forget the Chateau, I am moving into the apartment. Stunningly beautiful.
The feeling of this Château for me is as though I have bought it myself, I can't describe it any other way. It feels like home.
I agree it's the most stunning and well kept Chateau I've ever seen, I think they will need an army of gardeners to keep it looking so beautiful. So excited for your friend and her family to move in. Thank you Stephanie for showing us around x
Or a couple of Dans 😆
I love the idea of restoring the chapel. Even if one is un religious, the last year has taught having a place that is dedicated to calm and peace is something so precious. And very respectful of the building.
This is a stunning chateau; I can’t believe the amazing condition it’s in. Whoever owned it prior did a ton of work! Stephanie and Philip it’s so nice of you to do this for your friends ❤
This chateau and its grounds are stunningly gorgeous! For the new owners, what a happy find and a wonderful place to call their new home. For the sellers....I wonder if they feel some sadness, selling their home? When our family ranch got sold after my father's death, I actually mourned for several years. But alas, new owners can be a blessing in their own way to a property! LOVED the tour!
Would love for your to tour the chateau after Julie has settled in her new home.
What a fabulous, fabulous place. Heavenly. It's got all the bells and whistles. Julia and her family will be so happy here. The owners did such a beautiful job with everything. It must be so hard for them to let it go.
I was thinking that too. The previous people did so much renovating and decorating, all done with so much love.
Hello Stephanie...
Oh,,, how I dearly love the progression of your Channel! You should definitely have your own show on television. Bravo!
👍😍👍😍👍😍👍
I kept saying to myself- wow-wow-wow throughout this tour. How absolutely stunning! And lucky friends to have you preview it for them ! Thank you for sharing this! xoxo ( I was also very impressed with the Estate Agent who was able to give such a thorough tour in a way that made sense of the maze of buildings and rooms! Well Done! )
Just maybe Stephanie and the gang have created a side business here. Touring and inspecting listed chateaus for absent prospective buyers. They have their little dream team.
Agreed. I love checking out listings for chateaux, maison de maitre, etc. But being in Canada, I can’t see them in person. As I get closer to retirement I’m also getting closer to buying one and moving for keeps. So I’d love someone to do this for me.
What a fantastic idea 🔎🕯🏰🕯🔍!!! I would love that enormously 🤗 ...!!!
Ahaha they should work for luxury realtors, theyre better than any virtual tour ive seen
She made remark about how many contact her and how many there looking for chateaux. She makes it look wonderful... with out you tube or income, it has to be hard to maintain unless insulated and heated. water plumbing etc roof all good... I am losing interest in the buyers vlog cause they wont be there for a long time yet.
Julia asked Stephanie to check it out…these remarkable people are spreading much joy to very many people!
The chateau is incredibly well maintained, must cost a fortune to do this , just to keep up with the gardens , the pool, heat the place and pay the taxes. Regardless of the on going deep pockets required to own this place , it’s a dream if you can manage it all. The forest and the meadow and stream would complete the property.
I love to see places like this still exist. And restored . Amazing !
Possibly a celebrity purchased this chateau.
Restore the chapel and use it as a meditation enclave. That would be top on my list :)
Ce château est simplement merveilleux !!! L’entretien de cet endroit est parfait !! Les jardiniers ne s’ennuient pas… et le personnel de ménage non plus !!!! Merci Stéphanie pour ce tour complet de Puy-Vidal ! 👍🏻
🌸🌸🌸
Quite the most lovely and cared for chateau, plus the gardens are very beautiful. I would love to go shopping with them and buy all the French style beds and furniture. Thank you Stephanie for taking me and all your fans on another fantasy trip. Mary Ann Recht, Chicago
Wow, even the unfinished rooms have so much potential. I hope they get the woods and meadow also. I see where the tower idea for La Lande's garden came from. LOL😁
Magical! Kudos to Philip's quick eye for detail, Davy's deep knowledge of plants and landscaping,, and Stephanie's enthusiasm and vision for all things possible! 😍
It's so fairytale-like I love it! Julia and her family are very very lucky and fortunate!
It’s beautiful but I can’t imagine what it would take to take care of that chateau and gardens!!!!
Good luck to them!
💰💰💰
"It takes MONEY!" And if you have it, it doesn't hurt...
My thoughts exactly but it is gorgeous.
It would take so much money and employees to keep that place as it is, and if they do have it, then what;s the need of renting rooms? why spoil your privacy ?

A dream place!! What a gorgeous place! Hope they have a lots of budget... A château is not cheap...
Thanks, Stephanie, Philip, & Davy for the tour of Chateau Puyvidal. The new owner must be ecstatic. So lovely throughout! Janice from Arkansas USA
This chateau is so dreamy! It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for bringing us along for the tour!
Absolutely gorgeous! All of it!! Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you so much for showing this and in the special way that you do!
I wouldn’t know where to run to first!! It’s exquisitely beautiful inside and out. Those gardens!! The trees!! Would be a dream come true to live in such a grand place. Lots of possibilities!! 😍🙅♀️
This is what a chateau should look like. Stunning
Stephanie if I had the money to buy a Chateau I would ask you for some expert advice. You did a fantastic job of showing the Chateau. Loved it 😍
Second viewing and just as awed as I was on the first viewing. What a wonderful chateau. She is soooo lucky to have it and to have you show it in video. I understand your chateau envy. I was saying as well. Buy it! Buy it.
The gardens are as spectacular as the interior. If I had the money, I would jump on this property. Alas I have already made an offer on a village house in Evaux-les-Bains.
What a beautiful chateau. The new owners are so lucky
What a superb chateau. I understand the chateau envy, Stephanie. I wish your friends many years of joy in their new home. X
Simply an amazing place, especially the gardens. The courtyard is a dream, I could sit there all summer long. And imagine buying the forest and making it into a nature reserve.
This is absolutely gorgeous! One of my favorites it feels so cozy regardless of how large it really is.
Wow, what a beautiful chateau ! I really enjoyed the visit and I'm so happy they bought it!
What An enchanting chateau! Thank you for the great tour!
Oh my gosh - this is the most beautiful château I have ever seen! Magical and mysterious ❤️
Crazy fabulous Chateau. Thanks for the tour. Slightly Daunting. Can’t wait to hear Julia & Company’s plans.
Wow unbelievably FANTABULOUS!
I love everything about this chateau and the grounds. I'd happily move into the spidery chapel or the former stables...just stunning!
I think stephanie wishes for something like this as well.
This Castle is beyond 💖❤💝Magnificent!!! U can give so many adjectives to describe this castle, gardens, trees, the property
I'm in Shock seeing this private CASTLE.ONLY A VERY WEALTHY PERSON COULD AFFORD THIS CASTLE. IM BLOWN AWAY🤩
This chateau makes Lalande look like a country farm house , its exquisite.
This chateau is magnificent! Thank you so much for sharing. Best
WOW!!! Absolutely incredible!!! They are very blessed to have bought it and blessed to have had your help videoing it for them!!!
Angellically, screamingly, fantastic! Love, love, love it all! Thank you for sharing and best wishes to Julia and her family.
Absolutely beautiful. So Grande. It will be very interesting to see what they will be doing with it and how they will be making it their home. Thank you for the Grand Tour. It is so ideal. Looking forward to future videos of this chateau.
Fabulous tour of the château. The gardens absolutely stunning. Best wishes to the new owners and I hope in the future you visit and give us a tour of any updates, changes that they make.
This is gorgeous I adore the small printed wall paper it enlarges the space! .. Thank you for posting!
this place is huge. the gardens are beautiful and the inside is very well done. it was truly loved.
I would LOVE to see you get someone to groom your trees and forest areas at LaLande Stephanie. There is nothing more beautiful than cared for trees with cleared trunks, and freed of unhealthy, and/or dangerous branches... and keeping the ground cleared in the forest areas helps so much in case of a spark gone astray. There is an art to clearing out trees, so that the more beautiful trees can thrive with great health and shine.
Nick and Son are their super tree man/team. See the big tree removal Vlogs of the past. A long term plan is in place for the forest trees and Davy can have the new trees in garden and yard planted this fall.
@@carolinegooder7091 exactly!
@@arnicepernice8656 Thanks auto spelling got me 😁

Amazing video Stephanie and company! This is a beautiful Château!
WOW!!! It is magnificent. Heaven on earth I’m speechless.
A perfect team to view this Chateau for the potential buyers. Well done!
Blown away by the whimsey of this place it is such a cozy maze of a home my
Goodness
After seeing Julia's intro videos you can tell they are all totally committed to this huge move.. Julia also shares Stephanie's spirit for all things magical and Chateau Puy Vidal has all the magic needed. I can't wait to see everyone's reaction when they finally arrive at their spectacular chateau!
I would totally live in the apartment and be utterly satisfied!
Yeh, you’re right-fantastic apartment-wow-but the steps-well, not for this 76 year old but really cool nonetheless 😄
@@Hannah-pk6iq at least 2 of us. 😊
There is an elevator!
A double triple treat to see! Amazing! I can imagine they’ll need permanent full time gardeners.
So excited for them. They are now in their chateau. Can't wait until they make more videos. And see you there visiting too!
Loved part 2 of the chateau tour! It is beautiful! Intriguing! Mysterious! Romantic! Enjoyed very much. Love to all ❤
Amazing beautiful place. Well taken care of. So much more potential. Love the gardens. Thanks for the lovely tour.
Thank you for the tour of this amazing Chateau! Best wishes to the new owners!
I am so excited for this family beginning their French chateau life
Absolutely the stuff dreams are made of, may I be so bold as to ask what it cost you to buy this stunning piece of history!!
What a fabulous service and such a lovely presenter. That was very enjoyable.
Ohh Stephanie that's sooo nice of you to do a tour for them! I've been wanting to do the same but didn't know who to ask to help me with that! Super! Lovely chateau. They are very lucky!
Were you looking for someone to tour a chateau for you or did you want to tour one on behalf of someone else?
Both bathrooms have great charm with the colored tiles in one and the 2 pedestal sinks in the other. Much more in keeping with the antique style of chateau.
Lovely I’m glad we can see this fairytale castle more on Julia’s channel. It’s called Lady of the Chateau. Just stunning. Thank you Stephanie.
A magnificent chateau! Thanks for showing us.🙏🏻❤️
Lord, I would LOVE THIS ESTATE...
Besides Lalande, this is the only place I've seen on TCD that I'd want to actually live in. The decor, architectural details and out buildings - icing on the cake, cherry on the top. I'd happily rent the second apartment just as a away from home base during winters in Michigan.
It’s not like winters in France are that much better. It gets pretty cold in France in the winter 😄 but whatever excuse gets you through the night to rent the place, I totally understand 🏰😍
Stunning! Beautiful! Love this chateaux and and the grounds. 💜💋💜
lovely thanks for taking us along
It is a magical place!!! So happy that it is going to continue to be loved the way it deserves
Wow! Thanks for sharing this video. everthing is so lovely.😍😘
be still my beating heart. I felt like I was looking at my dream home and my home in another life time. WOW just WOW
I am in awe of that Chateau and its gardens, what a magical place and how lucky they are to be able to buy it...Will for sure be following their journey.
absolutely beautiful, and a great cell signal to boot! Loved the video. Thanks so much.
Wow, wow, wow . After seeing the gardens as well as the interiors this is a stunning chateau. The gardens are amazing. ❤️💜❤️
The walking would be exhausting! Better be in shape!! Hugeness is overwhelming!
Well... what an adventure. TY Stephanie for taking us on tour. I don't want to leave there
Thank you so much for sharing this. I absolutely love this chateau. 💗
What a gorgeous place! Love it! I will buy it! Beautiful! Blessings!❤❤❤
How could anyone ever bare to sell it? It is absolutely stunning! 💗💗💗
Thanks for the mini tour ... so beautiful
Ahhh I want to own a place like this and explore it myself and discover secret rooms, that’s like my ultimate dream 🤩
i agree with Stephanies taste..very much my own taste too... the views are stunning everywhere out the windows..the boxhedges look like they have had frostbite and mildew and rot has set in them..they may need cutting back or replacing...what a beautiful property!! Thank you for the tour!!
Thx for the awesome tour Stephanie, I subscribed to their channel
wow wow wow . i also loved the blue and white tyles in the bathroom .i would keep thm and i agree change the shower door!!!!
So beautifully finished right?
Such a beautiful property just GORGEOUS
Wow Stephanie those of us ha e Cheatu envey here in the USA. What a wonderful thing you did for your friend here in the state's. It is nice that they have a part in Cheatue all fixed up and ready to move in. Your friends are very blessed as well as you.
Beautiful chateau! So well tended! Just astonishing! Great set of videos!
Absolutely amazing! I love all the projects that get pitched ^_^ I think that’s my favorite part because it gives ideas for my new build home.
Chateau of my dreams congratulations.I hope you keep the furnishings!
Beautiful Lucky people to have bought it ! A dream come true for them !
Just beautiful! It is in such good condition and lots of great possibilities! Can't wait to see more! Thank you Stephanie, Philip and Davy!
Wow! I'd want to finish off creation of an apartment off the arcade and that'd be mine. There, and in the gardens, would be my world! Spectacular. Best wishes to the new owners. :)
My thoughts exactly.
Saw you commented somewhere that you bought a house in Puglia?
As much as I adore Chateaux in France I love Italy with a passion!
I’d love to relocate to Italy, I’m tired of Scandinavian winters and the lack of all the food, wine, sun and medditeranean magic!
One day…soon I hope.
Congratulations!
So beautiful and a feeling of safety from those walls! ..LL
