Honestly Stephanie , I love your videos , I love your humor , and I love the chateau and of course all of your friends and family ❤️ thank you for your awesome videos 👍👍
Stephanie I applaud you. You have gone to great lengths in the making of this video. The content, research, editing and joyful presentation are superb. The images are beautiful. Once again thank you 💐. Oliver thank you for enabling 😘
Stephanie this is my new favourite channel! I love your understanding of European history and culture. I love learning about the history of these wonderful designs and the drama/romance that often surrounds them. I wish my friends were into these subjects but alas they are not (they're still wonderful though!). I turn 30 next week and so I plan on entering my next decade of life with a fervour for history, art and culture. Thanks to your channel you have completely inspired me ♥️ from a new fan and namesake, Steff xx
I’m glad ur in London visiting the Wallace Collection. It is also one of my favourite place to browse when I’m around Oxford St. Shame the weather is wet. Next time when you are in London again, you could organise a meet up at interesting venue like galleries. Looking forward for your interesting video next.
I’m rewatching the episode again because it is so good and so much information to take in I have to rewatch!! Also doubles the amount of adverts I watched also. 💜💚
Just beautiful Stephanie 💛. The colours of the porcelain absolutely magnificent. Always enjoy learning the history and knowledge you so graciously share, while having a little fun and laughter along the way. Beautiful blessings Mandy 👑SA
You are naturally born to presenting your knowledge and passion to people. This is as well done as any tv doc, yet much more compelling! Because its not an actor reading a script, its you and your passion . Your love of porcelain [and all things french and chateau life] comes through and thank you for sharing.
You and your informative field trips bring me so much joy and very informative. Thank you. Reminder to all, do not SKIP AD, but allow it to play to help the restoration of Chataeu LaLande. Blessings sweet lady. 🐶🐾🐾
Amazing Stephanie!!💛💚 Almost 1000 views in an hour is an achievement not to be knocked!!! Once again you educate and entertain me at the same time and I love it 🧡💛❤️ Your videos are always a delicious treat for me on Sunday evenings. 💜 Travel safely back to your Chateau my dear. Thank you 🙏🏻 so much xx❤️
Thank you Stephanie, I've been interested in china and silverware for many years. You're a mine of information and a wonderful teacher, you speak clearly and at a pace that everyone can keep up with, plus we get see so many beautiful things that we would not normally see. I love these videos, a perfect companion to the Lalande vlogs, where we get to see the wonderful craziness of daily life at the Chateau. As someone who had a career in Fashion, I would love to see some museum vlogs on historical costumes... the V&A ?... because you would do them so well....with Michael Petherick perhaps, he has such an eye for detail. Thank you again and best wishes to all the Lalande players!
I have been binge watching you for days and want to join the team one day. Though I would never be able to drink you and the Micheal's under the table.😆. I would love a day of junk shops with you and Marie. Then theres Jerrys quick Wit and Mummy's amusing moods. You are a real life Donna/Sophie from the film Mamma Mia and each video is like the film that never ends. Wishing you nothing but all the best from my 3bed Council house in Hertfordshire 🍷Cheers
I think the song playing at the tea shop was You've got a friend in me. It seems so fitting after such a lovely day together! I love your videos. I learn so much about topics I didn't even know excited. Thank you Stephanie and friends! Hugs for mummy, Percy, the elusive Michael, the Scotsman, and of course never to be forgotten the peacocks.
Thank you! Yes, I noticed afterwards that that’s the song that was playing! It was lovely spending the day with Ollie, we’ve known each other for 24 years! 🤭
I’ve just subscribed to your channel - my first one - your videos are a kaleidoscope of historical knowledge, beautiful things and amazing experiences, tied in with moments of fun and lots of laughs, all shared in a down-to-earth and classy manner. Thank you. I look forward to catching up on past videos and those that are yet to come : )
When you picked up that plate in the gift shop with such vigor my heart stopped, I thought it was the real thing until you said it was tin! Thank goodness for modern recreations 😄
I love your commentary on the Sevrés at the Wallace. Really, all your travel episodes.... takes me back to my days, when I spent my lunch hours’ walking the Wallace when working in Wigmore St. I've enjoyed binge-watching episodes 1-100 today. You are delightful.
I wish the vlog could have been a little longer as there seemed to be some rather gorgeous paintings as well as the porcelain to see.Puts my Apilco coffee set to shame!! I don't need any excuse for Afternoon Tea! I am on Oliver's wave length though, champagne ...naughty but we all need a treat . Happy travels,wonder where we will be on Thursday?!
lol opening in one month , its been a long month Stephanie i seriously hope they permit you to open soon , it must be a worry to people that make their living from guests
I found you accidentally a week ago and I am addicted. I love your English, your knowledge and your style. ahhh. your mum is a masterpiece in my heard. Keep going. Hope to visit Chateaux La lande in the future. Your smile and the hospitality and love you show to people is amazing. 😍😍😍😍
OMG! I love Oliver! It's nice to frequently see all the characters in your life! You have terrific friends and family! Lovely humans. I'm missing me some GERRYYYYY!!! a-k-a Scotmannnn!!
Love the sidetrips, I used to subscribe to 'Connoisseur' Magazine....the Articles were as thorough as yours, as light, and informative...I remember the Article of the set for Marie Antoinette, and her Rustic Dairy...
Stephanie, thank you. I feel that I have become quite knowledgable after each episode on French history because you pass it along so beautifully. You are so easy to listen to....💖🇦🇺Australia
I have been waiting for you❣️ Amazing talent and craftsmanship to make such beautiful porcelain, very interesting information on its uses and history ❣️ My sister in California wants to become a supporter of you but she can not get into the site to commit , it will not load😕‼️
Thank you for waiting! I really didn’t think I’d be able to upload because of crazy internet problems on the Mekong river in Vietnam - but I suppose the miracle is that in this day and age I was able to do so! So far from home! Please please thank your sister for me, it’s so kind of her to have tried. I don’t know what the problem is with the page. I’ll try looking into it when I get home 😊
Thank you Stephanie for another informative vlog. Oh that I could afford Sevres. Never mind one can dream though. Nice to meet another friend of yours Ollie. Always wait in anticipation for your next vlog. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us.
Well I am delighted that porcelain could be this educational. In fact I feel like I have to watch again take notes and sit a test! Can you be my history teacher Stephanie :-) I was at Versailles a year and a half ago and truly found it rather OTT but indeed to delve into their lives, stories, their hardships & the sheer brilliance of the workmanship is worth understanding. I do though feel quite sad for the difference in lifestyle between rich and poor.
i have so enjoyed catching up on all the Diaries. I have an absolute passion for Chateau life. I am signing up to work away. I so want to be part of the magical journey. Love love love it all. thank you.
This is such an enjoyable video, i love how you give such a wonderful insight and story to theses objects and the people who used them. Bringing history to life! Going to the museums in london was my favourite thing to do when i lived there.
I love the Wallace Collection, the rooms manage to seem homey even though it is a public museum. Tea at the Langtham, on my bucket list. Well done Stephanie you had a lot to remember for this vlog.
You have no idea how hard it’s been today 😂 I’m on a boat on the Mekong and it’s 1:30am here and I had nearly given up! Massive WiFi problems, and when it suddenly decided to work it was 20 times faster than the WiFi at the chateau. On the Mekong. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry 😂
I loved this!! It was fabulous.The pink porcelain colour is my all time favourite. Royal Doulton do a version called Lady Carlyle. Of course, the other thing that th Marquise was famous for was the creation of the Marquise cut in gemstones, the most wasteful cut in the gemstone world. It was said to have been based on the perfect proportions of her mouth.
Enjoy your time off be heading back for your busy time in France. At ur beatuiful Chateau I hope to visit one day with my. Husband. Soon. For. A start. Of our. Retirement. From. Medical. Work. Lol jan. Van BC. CDA. Have a great time. You are so special. You make my heart. Sing your the Martha. Stewart. If the 21. St. Cent
Superb vlog Stephanie, love all that china. I've not been to The Wallace Collection yet, must do. I'll send you a photo of the China and how it's displayed at Croome Court in Worcestershire , they have some Sevre too.
Dear Stephanie, I loved this vlog. I love porcelain and history. I love how you combine both in your vlogs while adding your own charm. I had another thought how to raise money. You find the most interesting place, museums, factory shops and charity shops. You should have "Weekends with Stephanie" and be our tour guide to :)these wonderful places. I encourage everyone to be a patron of Lalande. I love being a Count..
Love this! Absolutely stunning Sevres porcelain pieces! Stephanie I love your history lessons! Looking forward to my postcard! Maybe Michael has had to make several more and mine is in the que! Stay warm! 🏰✨
Stephanie and my fellow subscribers, you may enjoy this UA-cam talk 'Madame de Pompadour and the Porcelain Power of the Mistress'. The channel is HaughtonInternational. The talk is given by the former director of the Wallace Collection. I've tucked Nancy Mitford's biography of Madame de Pompadour in my Amazon basket as Stephanie's enthusiasm has piqued my interest. Thank you Chateau Diaries xx
I love history and porcelain & this porcelain was exquisite- I never use that word but somehow it seemed applicable... I couldn't help but notice that your friend Oliver would look completely at home in a castle clad in period attire- that's just the vibe he exudes- ha! another word I rarely use but it seemed fitting.
I wonder...is there a 'Pompadour Suite' in the making at Lalande?...I see hand-painted Sevres style tromp l'oeil cartouches on the walls with vignettes in the manner of Boucher or Fragonard ⚜
The incomparable colors of Sevres are no doubt part of it's lasting appeal! Funny family story: you are *not* who you "think" you are! My paternal grandmother was descended from Canadian Loyalists, amongst whom was a Boucher. Her cousin sent her a letter, exuberantly exclaiming, did you know we are descended from the famous French artist Francois Boucher? That is where you must have inherited your artistic talent from!!! No. She did not. We are *no* way descended from M. Boucher, nor the illustrious Boucher family of Montreal (from what I've been able to determine.) I have no idea where her talent, or her brother's, came from. I still have that incredible letter, which was just unbelievable.
Dr Who (David Tennant) had a very interesting story line about Madame de Pompadour ,also made by the BBC a documentary about Sevres porcelain it was some time ago but worth watching, ua-cam.com/video/uHwx_iVhd1k/v-deo.html I enjoyed your video,
I always enjoy your outings with Oliver..What beautiful way to spend a wet day, surrounded by beautiful porcelain and hot chocolate. This is a video I will watch again and enjoy..🤗 to the La Lande gang
Stephanie, you are an angle ,who brings in immense joy in my life ! ❤ As l love art ,and all the beauty, of the history, the French Court and all of European history, art and culture. I wish l was fortunate enough, to become a patron.
What a fascinating history lesson! Thank you so much Stephanie. You are such a sweetie and your laugh is infectious! I'm glad I found this Sundays at the Chateau series. I watch all your others series also!😍💖💖🥀🥀🥀🌴🌴🌴 💖from the🇺🇸🇺🇸. Oliver is a sweetheart too!
You are high maintenance, 😜. Most of us have to stare at yours instead. Besides, my cats would find some way to break it. But my kitties are warm and snuggly, and porcelain is hard and cold and expensive.
A wonderful stroll through art, history and love- tales well told. Ollie is the perfect companion for this, and finishing with a classic tea...would love to spend a day like this one.
While sooooo amazingly beautiful...it always shocks me how rich the rich lived and how poor the poor lived and yet the kings and queens never quite got that they were to blame for such extreme poverty for their people
I fell in love too and tried looking at how much it cost at auction - eek, it doesn’t look as though I’ll own any any time soon 😂 But it gave me great pleasure to look at it 😍
You are a wonderful storyteller of history. I love royal history but it must be told in a way to pique my interest. You do that. TY. I think that's what keeps so many coming back. Can't wait to become a patreon..should be a week out yet
Stephanie, it is such a delight to see your enthusiasm over the beautiful porcelain and the history of Madame Pompadour you are a special lady with great intelligence and knowledge.
Crot Crot should get a female friend named Madame Poopadour. Also, what the hell are those two green things on the table near the window? Melons? Giant citrons? Bergamots?
you are a brilliant lovely girl, this was very educational , i love teasets and beautiful porcelain, so this was a joy to watch.., i am envious of your chateau..i would love to have done this sort of thing when i was younger..instead of just renovating boring house ..i get to watch your lovely show instead ,,love to you from melbourne australia!
Thank you so much! I plan to visit London and would never have known about this marvel! I use the ad time in the videos to comment and that way I don’t miss anything!
Honestly Stephanie , I love your videos , I love your humor , and I love the chateau and of course all of your friends and family ❤️ thank you for your awesome videos 👍👍
Thank you 😊
You should read Edith Blyton books and The Faraway Tree tours in your voice Stephanie
Stephanie I applaud you. You have gone to great lengths in the making of this video. The content, research, editing and joyful presentation are superb. The images are beautiful. Once again thank you 💐. Oliver thank you for enabling 😘
Not to mention her dulcet voice!! It lulls me to joie!
Stephanie this is my new favourite channel! I love your understanding of European history and culture.

The artistry of their everyday life blows me away
It’s insane, isn’t it? Definitely Life as Art
Who else likes before they even watch? 💕🌌
Thank you! 💛💛💛
I do!
Always 💛
😁 yes I like the video immediately, always a pleasure to watch. Also very informative
I do. In case I forget to do it after I watch the video.
Steph, you're a born storyteller! I loved this journey into the world of Sevres :)
I’m glad ur in London visiting the Wallace Collection. It is also one of my favourite place to browse when I’m around Oxford St. Shame the weather is wet.

So interesting Stephanie.
I hope you might do some jewellery videos too.
I have some sevres porcelain..lovely.
Ooh, I’ve never thought of that! I love that idea!
My mother named a white German Shepherd we had Madame Pompadour! Seriously!
I'm intrigued as to what short name she may have used to summon it? Pompy?
We actually called her Pompadour! Lol. So random. Our male was named Sir Galahad.
You and your informative field trips bring me so much joy and very informative. Thank you. Reminder to all, do not SKIP AD, but allow it to play to help the restoration of Chataeu LaLande. Blessings sweet lady. 🐶🐾🐾
Carrie Matthews good to know!
Amazing Stephanie!!💛💚

I would love to make a video on costume. And the V&A is a great idea, I can spend hours in that department!
Did you get the tin plates at the gift shop?
I have been binge watching you for days and want to join the team one day. Though I would never be able to drink you and the Micheal's under the table.😆.

The cup inside the saucer is called a "Trembleuse" .
When you picked up that plate in the gift shop with such vigor my heart stopped, I thought it was the real thing until you said it was tin! Thank goodness for modern recreations 😄
So interesting, you are so knowledgeable. Keep them coming Stephanie, so enjoyable ☕️
Thankyou Stephanie, once again travelling with you is a joy! The very soft pink and green was truly beautiful.

Hello from South Carolina USA. I very much enjoyed this video .
You didn't mention the magnificent chateau, stables and hippodrome in the village of Pompadour, near Lubersac, just south of Limoges!?
I loved this video!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us a taste of some extraordinary craftsmanship!
Langham have the best cocktails
Lovely history lesson!
The cup in the saucer is a great idea. We need that now.
I like your chateau so much 😊

Me too. Bring back SCOTTMAN. Of course I am biased as this is my surname but I love GERRY.
Love the sidetrips, I used to subscribe to 'Connoisseur' Magazine....the Articles were as thorough as yours, as light, and informative...I remember the Article of the set for Marie Antoinette, and her Rustic Dairy...
Now, thats a magazine Stephanie could write for, in my opinion.

I love the Wallace Collection, the rooms manage to seem homey even though it is a public museum. Tea at the Langtham, on my bucket list. Well done Stephanie you had a lot to remember for this vlog.
So glad you’ve kept the blogs going even though you are globetrotting xx
You have no idea how hard it’s been today 😂 I’m on a boat on the Mekong and it’s 1:30am here and I had nearly given up! Massive WiFi problems, and when it suddenly decided to work it was 20 times faster than the WiFi at the chateau. On the Mekong. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry 😂
The Chateau Diaries Appreciated! From a future guest!
I love the bold background colours on the procelain. Ahhhhhh!!!!!!
I always love your videos 😘
I loved this!! It was fabulous.The pink porcelain colour is my all time favourite. Royal Doulton do a version called Lady Carlyle. Of course, the other thing that th Marquise was famous for was the creation of the Marquise cut in gemstones, the most wasteful cut in the gemstone world. It was said to have been based on the perfect proportions of her mouth.
It was very interesting, thank you Stephany! And Oliver is very handsome man!

Love this! Absolutely stunning Sevres porcelain pieces! Stephanie I love your history lessons! Looking forward to my postcard! Maybe Michael has had to make several more and mine is in the que! Stay warm! 🏰✨
Stephanie and my fellow subscribers, you may enjoy this UA-cam talk 'Madame de Pompadour and the Porcelain Power of the Mistress'. The channel is HaughtonInternational. The talk is given by the former director of the Wallace Collection. I've tucked Nancy Mitford's biography of Madame de Pompadour in my Amazon basket as Stephanie's enthusiasm has piqued my interest. Thank you Chateau Diaries xx
I really really enjoyed this one!
I love history and porcelain & this porcelain was exquisite- I never use that word but somehow it seemed applicable...
I couldn't help but notice that your friend Oliver would look completely at home in a castle clad in period attire- that's just the vibe he exudes- ha! another word I rarely use but it seemed fitting.
Priceless information! My favourite museum in London is Wallace Collection, frequently visit that gem! Stephanie tells the stories very nicely!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I enjoyed the paintings as well and the beautiful gowns she wore
I love all the history lessons..given with enthusiasm in these videos!😊
I wonder...is there a 'Pompadour Suite' in the making at Lalande?...I see hand-painted Sevres style tromp l'oeil cartouches on the walls with vignettes in the manner of Boucher or Fragonard ⚜

I cant get enough of your vlogs. Thank you for sharing your life, family, friends, knowledge, talent and charms with all of us.
Wonderful information and video. Thank you Stephanie.
