I smile like crazy when I see y’all have posted a new video. Yes I have a life but you do enhance it. 😀
I am sorry to tell you, I don’t have life.
Me too! Smiling like crazy here...my husband is like ....whoa...
😂❤
Me too!
I don’t right now. I’m ill. I’m waiting to get better and for the weather to catch up and I’m hopefully getting out and about then.
You are getting better with every vlog. You mentioned in your interview “not sure how long we will do the vlogs”. Don’t stop. Trust me. I am even a Patreon for 4 different chateaus (love architecture and France and after many trips to France, thought I’d buy a chateau someday but didn’t work out for me due to a sad divorce) so I’m living vicariously through wonderful people like you. Someday you will have over 100k plus subscribers and you’ll finance amazing restorations because of it. More money for vino and helping your children ! Keep up the great work.
Thanks Donna :)
Fortunate you divorced before moving and buying. I have freinds who went, then divorced.
Thank you for caring and taking good care of the animals, both inside and outside.
You guys aren't human, you are angels. The way you treat and take care of the animals with patience and compassion is amazing. Love you guys!
😃
The term is Earth Angels 😊
Love the new kitty! So happy you are giving her a home!
You're already one of my fav chateau reno shows. You're so down to earth and relatable. Love your ideas.
And the mixing old with newer furnishings
Love the bench. Great idea for the Cateau....Refreshing to see cat lovers who are aware and proactive. Feral cats are an issue globally. Bravo...
You two are so funny and with the dry humor it's great.
I'm sure Olive Clementine is happy to be inside with your other kitties. Thanks for the update on the donkeys and giving the ferals a nice place out of the weather. Continue being yourselves & your channel will grow.
😁
I love the sound of the donkeys chewing. Even if I did yell at my kids for making that much noise when they were young.
Ha! I despise hearing people chew, but donkeys? Love it :)
I trust that you know how to take care of all your animals and would never question that fact. All your kitties are healthy and personality plus. The dogs and donkeys all look so happy,happy,happy. Love your humour❤️
I love hearing the donkeys munching!🥰
You know those commercials where a woman goes somewhere alone to eat a fancy chocolate? That’s how I feel when I see your new video, such a treat. Welcome Olive Clementine, just beautiful.
Thank you so much for caring about the less fortunate kitties…❤
I’m a Professional Organizer and if I wasn’t absorbed in my own renovation, I’d be there in a heartbeat to organize your buildings. Fun times.
I’d be right there with you!
Meeeee tooooo🎉
I want to peek at the old stash left behind from previous owners😂 & Brocante Shop too…Oh Golly!
Where do you live?
One doesn't realize how huge your windows are (and how high the ceilings) until you are standing next to them. Your heads don't even clear the lowest row of panes. Magestic!
I didn't quite realize the size of your windows until your started tossing out bits of Christmas tree. The scale of big windows and small human is phenomenal. It looks like you could add another floor in those rooms on the ground floor.
Lincoln has such a calm tone in his voice I’m sure you could never be angry with him for anything ❤
You probably know this but I just found it that domesticated donkeys live from 40 to 50 years! That’s like parrot committment 😆
You guys inspired me. Four weeks ago I called the feral organization I adopted my first cat from. Welcome Autumn Gracee Smith. We kept her rescue first name. Already thinking of a third. Never too many kittys!
How wonderful! 😺
I love Olive Clementine ❤ and that purring!
Also, having had horses all my life, isn't the sound of the donkeys chewing absolutely gorgeous. I love all animals but especially equines.
More videos please, at least 10 a week 😂 xx
😂😂😂 about the outdoor house for critters. Compassionate about them is a good thing...thank you for helping them😊
A little ramp would be the safest way to go into and out of the shop, especially because you will be hauling tools. Your life will be so much easier having a dedicated shop and the door on the backside. Love you all. Enjoy your videos ❤
Great point!
Not gonna lie. I laughed out loud when I heard the Donkeys chewing in the mic! Also, I am such an organizer. I too would love to get my hands dirty helping you with the workshop. Keep the smiles coming you guys!!
You have a great eye for beauty that may not be obvious but actually is quite lovely. Your critters, all of them, are so lucky to have you happy 2024
Congratulations on the addition of Olive Clementine to your family - she is truly beautiful! Your videos are my favorites - I feel as though I live next door and watch your renovations as a neighbor would! May 2024 bring you all nothing but success and great joy!!!👍 ❤️
Thank you :)
You are such good people. The animals are very lucky to have you and your very big hearts. Your plan of organizing what goes where in the buildings will make your lives so much easier. An organized workshop for all your tools, work tables, saws, furniture projects, etc. will make your projects so much easier. A door from the walled garden into the building will also save you from having to walk around the buildings. Looking forward to seeing it all progress. xx
I love the "cateau"!!! Can't wait to see who will make it home. Y'all amuse me so much. 🥰
I was saying in my quiet voice, throw it out the window! We did that in a previous years. Love the cateau, very trendy and cozy! Your donkeys are living a great life, you are good care takers with special tenderness.❤️❤️🇨🇦
Ok I’m in love with your donkeys 🤣❤️❤️ They are just the cutest! And it’s so sweet how good natured your husband is about the cats! Mine claims to not like them…. none of us are fooled! When I fly home he calls to ask questions and when he does he calls to check on them 😊❤️ Your eye for simple things is great! For a little over $50 you totally scored!! Those bowls are awesome!! And I would have snagged the table too! Love it!
I just love you two. I'd be there in a heart beat to help you if I could. Just "loved" the way you took the Christmas tree out of the house. Too bad we have small windows. It would be so much easier. Keep up the great videos. ❤
I giggled😂 soo genious
Olive Clementine is so pretty! Im glad she’s apart of the family 😊
The cateau, shoot, that’s the greatest name ever for the luxurious abode! You really hit the jackpot with this property, all of the garages, sheds, barns and cottages are so beautifully designed and some filled with long lost treasures. I’m happy you managed to wrangle that little adorable cat. Thanks for the great entertainment.
😂
We just built what we called a Catio. I think I’m going to rename it Cateau instead. 😊
Olive is a real beauty
So happy she decided to join the family.
I truly enjoyed this episode of daily life at the chateau.
You and Lincoln make me laugh with your great senses of humor.
Maine USA
The bowls you got are really nice. Cats are beautiful. Really enjoyed your video.
Olive is a nice addition to the family. We took in a feral cat ourselves. She has been a blessing to our family. The out building project does look overwhelming but when you get started it will be so rewarding. Good luck 😊❤. Deborah North Carolina
Donkeys Definately don't need rugs....they've got their shed... fresh straw and plenty of shelter...
Well done your doing a fantastic job looking after them
And yes...spring/ summer they don't need too much ''rich'' grass......
Well done for keeping them ''slim''
It's me! I am the one who has liked every single one of your vlogs lol. Believe there is a special place in heaven for those that love, care & rescue poor defenseless animals. What awesome coats & shape your donkeys are in. My daughter gifted me a bucket list trip with her to Paris last July, so everytime you visit, I end up yelling at the TV "I know that place", or ""I was just there". Lincoln is so calm, skilled & a great partner in crime for you Amanda. Your wit & humour is so fun & comes in at the most unexpected moments. Your doppleganger is CNN's Maggie Haberman (from a distance as you are younger & prettier with similar voices). Thanks for giving me huge grins. Please name one of your next cats "Dice". Cheers from the small town of Keswick, outside of Toronto Canada!
So glad that Olive Clementine has you as her guardians. My dad used to say that there was a secret sign for stray cats on our house (Food, shelter, love, vet care forever..") We had many over the years. Had to chuckle over the "defenestration" of the tree. I did that one year from an upstairs window with a friend standing in front of the house as a "spotter". So much better than dragging a big tree through the house leaving needles in its wake.
😂
another fabulous video🪭🍷🩷
Tree goes in the front door before festivities after festivities the window gets open and the tree goes flying.😂 Poor Lincoln always gets to dirty work of dumping the tree.❤ Amanda I appreciate you answering ridiculous peoples questions about your animals, but they should know you take better care of them than anybody else would. It won’t be long before your château is called the cat château.😊 I’ve got the biggest grin on my face after I watch your videos. You make me smile and laugh. Thank you both Amanda and Lincoln.
Thanks :)
The door was closed! You know what they say about a closed door, a window is the next best escape route!😂❤
It’s taken my husband, and me almost 5 years to aclimate to Mexico City. We are both almost 70 years old, lived most of our lives in the Midwest, USA, so moving here took a bit of getting used to. Love your brocante finds.
Cateau!! Love it. You crack me up. Thanks for all the donkey time, I love them.
What a heartwarming couple you are.. many blessings for your kindness to animals. ☺
I am very happy how you care about the strays I wish all the best for the new year and I totally understand to get overwhelmed with chores well sooner or later you get done 😊❤😊❤😊
This new kitty is so gorgeous and I love her eyes. Thank you for being such kind people.
So happy Olive will be fixed and adopted 😻😻😻😻😻Love seeing all your animals and cracked up at the feral cat class action suit 😹😹😹😹😹I can’t blame you for feeling overwhelmed. There’s certainly a lot to do. Every time I feel that way, I break up the task into small pieces. It’s easier to manage things as you end up completing each small task one task at a time. Hope that helps you. Thanks for sharing your humor and life in France 🇫🇷 😍😘
Great finds for under 50 Euros~! The animals are lucky to have you! Good luck!
Please have more photos of your creatures! Our cat loves them! Lol. I have a photo of him pawing the tv screen. I would love to share. We love your channel. My wife and I along with Lucas, have watched ever vlog. You inspired us. Lucas is rescued 4 yr old boy that we adopted in October. Thank you for your vlogs and bringing us in the journey.
😁
The dog and the beret.... 🤣
Love the sound of the donkeys crunching carrots! I've said that a few times, maybe I'm weird. So happy to see the kitten joining the others...you are good people! I really like your $45.00 deals, those pottery pieces...wow! You cracked me up when you attempted to place the cat chateau. I hope you end up with satisfied tenants!
Love your show! The donkeys, pups and cats are a joy to watch. Hope this year will be special as you work on the cottage. I think it will be charming! ❤
Such a beautiful area to live. Oh, and new cat 😃
Hysterical - "A Class Action feral cat lawsuit ..." ⚖️ 😆😅😂!!!
Olive is such a pretty Kitty, and I absolutely love your sense of humour. X
We forgot our bulbs too... thanks for the reminder! We tuned in just as you were throwing your Christmas tree out the window. Guessing that was post Christmas Day and not some kind of pre Christmas protest. We all feel that way some years! :-)
That loud purr is what our family calls a squirrely purr
I just love your donkeys. Everything your doing is fantastic!! I love how much you all love animals. My family is too. Aww poor Lincoln. You can be a model too!! That was so cute!! The donkeys just love their. Carrots!! Great episode!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!
Thank you for looking after the stray cats
Thank so much!
Funny watching the Christmas tree branches being thrown out the window. It is amazing to see just how big the windows are when Amanda was closing them. They are gorgeous.
Donkeys (and horses) don’t need blanketing. They get their warmth from eating. The benefit of blanketing is to keep them dry (also not necessary, but helpful particularly for warm climate breeds like Arabians), in continually wet weather. If there is a shelter belt to protect from wind, if they have a way to get out of the weather, if they have a good supply of feed, and if they have a regular fresh and clean water source (only needing ice broken when it forms) they’ll be just dandy.
The donkey ASMR makes me smile.
Your videos make me happy.
❤

I love that you guys take in the cats, it's so nice of you. We have 7 cats that we have rescued and they are the best cats you could ask for. I hope to see more of your fur babies. Love your channel so much. Keep up the good work. ❤
Lincoln, don’t listen to her. You can look like a supermodel if you want to. Also, these videos are SO much fun! You guys made taking down the Christmas tree into a fun thing to watch. Please keep vlogging for a while. You’re NOT boring, you’re the cool geeky friends I simply haven’t met yet.
Love the cat chateau! Hope you don’t get fined! Lol.. they may want a pool next! 😀
Thank you for beautiful long panaramic shots! We luv the views! Yes, enjoy the renovations but really enjoy the soulful views!!! Happy 2024!
I love the donkeys. Your kindness and compassion to all animals it’s one of the reasons I love your channel
The cateau is a PERFECT name! :)
Boy, did my cat perk up when she heard Olive Clementine cry in the carrier! Too funny!
Similar weather to us living on the Chesapeake Bay. We also have feral cats...seems they are everywhere worldwide 😳🫣 Your Château & land is beautiful ❤
I'm loving the longer program. ❤️
I look so forward to your videos. You are both such hard workers. I never do yard work in the winter you put me to shame😃 Thanks for taking such great care of your animals especially Mimi, so thrilled she is now indoors
How I love those critters. The sweet little faces. I Buy pottery at thrift stores, farmers markets, yard sales. Seems like I’m the only one who wants it. Yay! Once it’s home and placed it’s stunning. Another thing I hunt for at yard sales, are Antique wooden bread and biscuit making bowels. Real stunners I have scrounged! Such fun!
Love ❤️ the donkeys 😊😊😊
Happy New Year to you both....and the donkeys, cat, dogs ...etc.
I wish I was there, I would come and help you! This is my jam, 100% Love from the USA, SoCal.
If the table did not have the detailing on the legs I would say it was Amish built. Certainly their scale and style. Thanks for your stewardship with those wandering kitties ❤️
Olive Clementine seems so sweet. What a lucky girl to have found her way to you. Obviously, the word has gotten around the kitty network that your home is the place to go!
Olive Clementine…what a beautiful cat! Her loud purring when Lincoln was petting her made me wish I could reach through the screen. You were likely joking but I seriously love contemplating life and feeding birds, Amanda. 😊 As I get older I find simple things are often the most satisfying. Secret door to the walled garden, well, how cool is that?! And the donkeys cruncha-munching on the carrots, adorable. Thanks for your vlogs, they’re the best.❤
Love the sound of the donkeys munching on their carrots ❤
That was a great watch. Like the trailer for some sort of avant garde movie, dogs in berets, sports cars, Lincoln dragging a dead tree like a body to be dumped....and then the people setting up cameras to watch the new Neighbours in the 'Cateau'.......😂 I really enjoyed it, thanks..
😀
I love all your old mixing bowls!
The feral cat house is very cool...hopefully they all get along.
I love those donkeys! I thought it was hysterical when they came up to the camera and you could only see the tops of their heads and hear them crunching on carrots. Another great video. Thank you.
Your vlogs are always so interesting because of all the variety of content you share. There’s just one thing I’d love to see and that’s you sharing some of your cheffing skills. So if you get bored and want to mix it up even more, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say there’s probably a whole bunch of us who would love to watch that too. Based on how good you are at everything else, I’m picking you’ve got a cook book that’s just percolating away and I’d buy it. Think how much that would help the animal rescue fund 😅. We don’t care what your kitchen looks like, it’s what you do in it right. Love your vlogs.
I think having walked talkies would be a great way to communicate with such a large Chateau
😊 Guava looked very debonair in his beret in the car! And of course Waffle needs 3 names as she is a very important cat...she must inspect and make sure all your ladders are safe! Olive has gorgeous eyes ...can see why you are keeping her.
😂 Guava is a lady. Enzo refused to wear the beret....
@@OurFrenchChateau please give my apologies to Guava!!
Christmas tree out of the window...yeah, we're fancy like that, too! Happy New Year!
I love that you trimmed the tree and threw it out the window, easy to handle great job.
Great video, you two make me laugh so much, thank you for sharing your activities, love the cat cateau.
Only just come across your channel... no idea why youtube didn't put it recommend it to me as I watch renovation videos based in France and Portugal. Will enjoy watching your old posts and all your new content 🙂
Love your video. Love to see the donkeys, kitties & so glad you take such good care of the ferals.
You describe what we all go through daily.
💯🥇🏆 For humour!! It so reminds me of my father. I'm glad Olive🐱 clementine decided to join the family she'll have a great life. ❤️🤗
Also l enjoy California accents. Well spoken , easy to understand. Keep up the wonderful workmanship and fabulous gardens...
Donkeys…. Sooo darn adorable 🥰❤️❤️
I love the Cateau for the feral cats. We have two cats that live in and out of the house as one uses the litter box and the other cat goes outside. I think you are doing a great job taking care of your cat community even though most of us wouldn't bother because of the expense. Lots of blessings for the new year 2024. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Out with the old! Through the window, too funny. You would think with the internet people could answer their own donkey questions . Your patience is to be commended.
Loved the intro! It has that trademark quirkiness your (quickly becoming) famous for.
🤪
Your videos are my fave! Love the humor, it makes me smile. Love watching the donkeys eat carrots❤
