No one, no one does it like you, Stephanie, Phillip and Lalande crew. I don't think you realize the generosity of heart it takes to do this tirelessly and with the same level of quality consistently. I can't thank you enough for daily taking me with you on your sprees, travels, and around the chateau in your cozy dressing gowns and cup of tea! Just thank you.
Stephanie I just want to say thank you so much for The Chateau Diaries. I started watching during one of the lockdowns, and even since then, there have been too many days to count where TCD has been my friend, my company, my entertainment. The other day I actually cried with gratitude for what you do. Thank you so much. xxx
Totally agree! It’s a daily highlight in my life. ❤️🏰❤️
Me too ❤❤❤Kate
Absolutely! Couldn’t agree more. 💕💐thanks Stephanie 😊
I’m was rooting for Philip in his plate hopes and dreams 😃 The plates you purchased are adorable- a sweet connection to the original kitchen 💗🥰
Have to agree that’s when I got started and have been hooked ever since. Stephanie has taken us to places we never imagined.💖🦚
I’m sure the epic welly incident will not soon be forgotten. Hilarious.
War of the Welleys😂❤😢!!!
I'm worried that the books will be damaged by the heat and humidity in the container.
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully, they put something in with each of boxes to soak up moisture.
Yes if they get hot etc. they'll get smelly and moldy
@@rebeccaj9743 Yeah, BOOKS lol. Seriously only the porcelain and glass will remain undamaged
Yep containers need an air vent put on top and moisture gel put in the container to absorb moisture
Otherwise anything put in those horrible containers will be destroyed rather quickly
Maybe email Natty..I don't think they have seen the messages we left here...this container idea is pretty concerning
Even after me texting and telling them on the phone to put Wellies on before they arrived…. Cause we were already ankle deep in mud ☔️
Very grateful though they let me borrow some of theirs otherwise I would have wrecked my vintage shoes🙈
Your Dutch friends seem like a fun couple. I love their style and sense of adventure. I hope they come back and visit soon.
Exactly! Aren’t they FABULOUS????
@@chrissih4046 perfect visitors to a Chateau
They now need a vintage Renault to go with their outfits! 🚗🚗
I loved that you kept going back to the video of Phillip saying 'we need the Wellies'!! ☔ LOL!! Yes, he was right again!!
that incident will cause vexation amongst couple friends that why Phillips should have gone back and put his on
It is fun as I'm sure its what would have been thought and rethought throughtout the day - also fun rewatching. Almost like a Laurel & Hardy as you know its coming.
Love the dry wellie’s in the trunk lol!
Nikki and Melchior found Ardmore like pieces in coloring. Beautiful taste!
5:44 I agree so much! Rain is one of the most relaxing things, I’d be happy just to be next to someone I love driving all the way to a beautiful chateau.
Oh, and I love the tweed jackets of you both.
This adventure to Chambord was wonderful in spite of the weather. I really enjoyed seeing the brocante and cannot wait to see your tour of Chambord. That chateau is breath taking!! Thank you for taking us along.
It's interesting in an odd way, that so many brocantes display their wares IN THE RAIN. I've noticed this when watching other " Chateau channels".
Of course, they had prepared going to it all year or for months or for weeks. You don’t decide this ‘on the day’. Besides, in April and may the weather is notoriously unpredictable. So it could have been full sun, or a torrential downpour. My parents married on 2 May…and it snowed.
@jpfloru8669 I mean IN THE RAIN
displaying the wares on the ground with no cover as it rains directly onto the objects. In "Escape to the Dream" with Terry and Ash, they have gone to brocantes where wooden furniture is left outside. Sometimes there is a roof and sometimes not. So, when it rains, the furniture is exposed to the damp, mist or rain.
@@stephaniedavis6531 Athens brocantes visited by the guys, I'm sure they've said the not so good stuff is likely to be outside, they probably just don't have room to put everything they have under cover. Presumably those folk putting their stuff on the ground don't want to invest in the cost of hiring or buying a canopy and stall 🤷♀️
in the rain! you can't stop the real rain from falling especially in these countries, there are also in door ones
Stephanie!!! that tweed jacket is amazing on you!! a beautifully structured petite fit ! comme toi !😍
So hate to see a wet market, we were professional antiques dealers in the UK for more than 10 years. The effort that goes into collecting stock, getting up at stupid o'clock, paying the often expensive site fees, fuel and setting up the stall is huge. Then to be rained off is soul destroying. It was mostly fun though looking back 😊
I really love your editing today Stephanie, there was so much humour in it that tickled me, love to you both.
"I just want to go get chips". My girl!
I don't think you've ever mentioned the porcelain used by the Marquis and his family. It's so lovely. Am I the only one who would love to see you have a whole set large enough to use for special occasions? Have you ever thought about setting a special day to honor Henry? I don't know if you remember the date the psychic told you about Henry, but I think it would be super cool to set aside a special day just for him. ❤
If you can't find 3 chandeliers think about finding a pair and the third one more elaborate..putting the nicer one either in the center or at the front of the chapelle...
Good idea.❤
Im wheezing at the weather ! 🤣🤣🤣I used to work on the brocantes selling French bicycles. This weather brings back memories and the haggling to buy things. I think the funniest thing I ever saw at 5am on a dark winter morning was 4 French men pointing torch lights into a ladies car seeing what she was going to sell- she hadnt even got out of the car and they was - all over it like a bunch of seagulls! haha Poor woman must of been thinking who are these crazy men- let me get out 😆
Phillip! I agree with you! You needed your Wellies!!!! lol I would say Stephanie owes you a warm foot bath / message! 😊😊
Please reconsider putting the books and panelling in the containers! Almost every commenter in the 'container' video warned against it due to humidity and heat. You probably didn't get those problems so much when you lived back in the 'old dart' (yes I'm Aussie), but France can be very humid.
All of the flashbacks were cracking me up!
I hope you have a plan to deal with the humidity you will get in the containers. I had to store quite a lot of my belongings, including furniture in one for 8 months, and even thought the container was brand new & bone dry and in a sheltered position the damp, lots of my stuff became quite fusty - in fact I had to get rid of a lovely old pine bedding storage chest as the damp had infiltrated the wood and even after 3 months of cleaning it, airing it, etc, it smelt awful and couldn't be used.
You find appreciation & beauty in architecture, history and life wherever you go!
Good evening, everyone from lovely Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
Good evening friend, Ont Canada also🇨🇦🐝
It rained when I visited Chambord in 2016 but it only added to the atmosphere. I loved it.
Out in the rain without wellies? How did that happen??? 😆🤣😂Such a fun couple!
After she just recovered from a cold😢!!!
Hiya Lovlies, one word WELLIES! Lol Thankyou for the visit Southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
That roof of that Chateau was beautiful.
Always listen to Philip. 😄 I was hoping the whole time that he was going to find his beloved tray. At least a different one was found.
I know, we've watched too many movies when it all falls into place in the end
Stephanie's coat or trench looks amazing!
I just came across Rebus plates on eBay. Apparently they are of French origin. There’s a puzzle or riddle on the plate. I thought it could be a good educational video for Stephanie to make like the others she’s done about Spode or Fortuny, etc. I’d never heard of this before. Just a thought for you.
Gorgeous treasures....even in the rain....
Yes, I would have loved to see the whole of that landscape painting just after finding the LaLande plates.
God that was fun. You should have put on your willies. I can hear your mother now.😂😅
Can you believe it as Nikki & Melchoir drove out that muddy brocante I actually found myself waving bye bye ha ha, I do not even know them only through the Chateau Diaries. Stephanie you see how you make us all feel welcome to your chateau and lovely crew of people you having working there and all your lovely visitors, we feel like one big happy family. I look forward to all your videos. I thank you so much for all you and Phillip do in taking us all with you. Have a lovely day.
So beautiful. Thank you for showing us.
The couple that stayed with you were absolutely lovely and very stylish. 🦋
I love love the plates you bought that were in your Chateau. Beautiful! 🦋
The editing on the video was hilarious. 🦋
The chip on your new China is easily repaired using ivory Milliput & Glaze following one of several tutorials found on UA-cam. ❤️🙏
Despite the rain and without wellies, it seems to have been a lovely day. The porcelain tray is beautiful. ❤
Love Stephanie’s outfit in this one
What a lovely day!!! I adore U both!!!
The anxiety in Philip's voice during the tray-balancing act... priceless.
Stephanie was making me so nervous handling that beautiful tray in the rain!
The smasher is really handy if you make rubarber buns, with custard and rubarb and sugar on top. You make a push with the smasher tool, on a bun made with yeast, and fille it with the other ingredienser.
I absolutely adored Phillips expression when Stephanie, you declared ‘my boots are completely dry inside’ while poor Philip was squishing his way down the street. What an incredibly gorgeous château can’t wait to see the full feature on your other channel.
What fun day? Glad you finally got your Wellies on not a moment too late. 😂.
The platter is beautiful. Well done. Sending love from LIZ in California😎🤟🏻💜💕🇺🇸
I love the wooden table and chairs at about 13 min in. !!!
Love love love the Tweed clothing you two! Am a person who appreciates Tweed and beautifully made woollen outfits. Xxx
Thank you Stephanie for sharing!!!
Stephanie I Truly admire your appreciation of what is…. And not wishing for something better or different. You appreciated the rain, the fun of the rain beating down on the tables and items, the truth of wet boots and laughing at your decision not to wear the wellies, you appreciated the view despite the weather and you were rewarded with some plates that bring back warm memories and you can add your rainy memories to those plates also ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You waited patiently for your chips and you were an all round good sport 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😴
Lovely video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We call it 'duck weather' here in Canada!
What wonderful treasures fond in the rain. I hope you both don't get sick again. That chateau is so beautiful. ❤
Oh chambord is very well known in france....everyone visited chambord in the region.....its really.....elegant 😊.......its just there r many chateaux in france😂 chambord is just one of them and is more popular because of it owner 😉 lately am more into villages,i like walking the empty streets of old villages in france....there is always something new to see, as much as i do like the small villages houses once you visit the inside u soon understand why chateau life was extravagant and a reason for revolutions.
❤❤❤
I Loved this! The Rain was so Romantic
I will never in my entire life forget that double helix staircase! I went to Chambord with my French partner back in the beginning of the 1990s and it's such a magnificent Chateau!
Here’s me just wondering, did you walk through that beautiful place in your mud covered boots?
You are brave souls to be out in the rain all Day. Chambord was impressive, especially the double helix staircase!
Only you could smile in the rain and the mud 😄 Lovely Day 😂
How cool to find those plates! I love them!❤
I kinda love the water/rain falling on the pieces of porcelain. 😊
Stunning Chateau, and fun trip, even in the rain!
Such a pity it rained but you still had fun. Many years ago we did a tour of the Loire Valley Chateau and I think Chambord is my favourite.
So much rain this year! I’m done with it for sure
Wellies are essential at any outdoor market.
The look on Phillips face when u said amazingly the water hasn’t breached my boots….. I thought it might be the end of a beautiful relati9nship!!
I loved Melchor looking like a stereotypical Dutch man, only missing the pipe!
Ahahaha! Loved the video! The cutbacks to ... the wellies! Oh, my goodness!
Best part of the video!
makes me to sing 'Vertigo' by U2
Brilliant editing! She’s just gotten so good at it.
I love the flashbacks! 😆🥾🥾🥾
Lots of fun. Love the rainy outing. Perfect fries! Cheers!
I love being in the rain so today is a perfect day for me. The umbrella is a perfect size for two. I thought the wall paper in the Chateau was stunning. Lunch looked very tasty, nom nom nom! XAnna
Thanks for taking us along. Rain and mud is always an adventure.
I was heading to the same brocante at Chambord but saw how bad the rain and just couldn't do it, 3 hr drive for me and wasn't sure if it would be a good one. darn it, it was! you are more foul weather shoppers than I
Philip's withering look is perfection!
That staircase is beautiful.
My husband and I stopped at the grocery store a year or so ago to pick up milk and bread. I thought I'd be smart and quick and just run in without getting a shopping cart because I was getting so little. I got halfway through the store, all the way to the back, when I discovered there was a sale on frozen pizzas and frozen fruit. There was no way I could carry everything so I had to make the phone call of shame. I asked him to bring in a cart and not say I told you so. A few minutes later I see him coming towards me with a big grin on his face and he very loudly calls out "So I guess you didn't need a cart!" He's never let me forget but it's all in good natured fun.
Merci pour la balade sous la pluie 😊❤
Stephanie said the Grand Salon will be finished by Christmas! Amaury get cracking. ❤
I misunderstood Stephanie. She said it will be like Christmas when the Grand Salon is finished not that it will be Christmas when it is finished. Rats!
It can only happen during the off season for the B&B guests.
So funny to see the "we don't need the rubber boots' when clearly you did.
Best Brocante yet!
First time on channel. Stephanie is so happy and cheerful, even with the ‘squelching’ under foot. I love your glass half full approach to life. Phillip needs to take your lead and stop focusing on the negatives of any situation, be happy you have a great life. There was no need to keep inserting the ‘wellies’ clip, you had a point and we get it.
Phillips face when you said your feet were dry. Hilarious. If looks could kill. It's good the brocante was open to enjoy. I bet the vendors were pleased people brought from them.
There was so many comments on the last video on this topic warning about the damage that containers as storage might do, that I really wish Stephanie or her cousin could address them in one of the videos. It’s really worrying the amount of bad experiences people had with containers 🫣
They hardly ever address comments from their faithful watchers shame really
Well, there was more than 700 comments on that video, so I guess it would be unreasonable to want a response, but on the other hand there was a ton of comments with warnings so I just wish there will be an update for everyone in a video so we wouldn’t worry.
Somehow I don't think Steph's wedding vows will include "obey your husband' 🤣🤣
In this day and age I hope not!
Everything was so beautiful. Thanks for taking us along
Love that lady so ready having the rain 😊
Ahhh, i was hoping to catch a glimpse of phillips parents, especially his mother.
At least it makes you realise UK is not the only country that rain can spoil a day 🇬🇧
Crème brûlée and eclairs are my two favorites.
Philip's warning about needing wellies would have been the same as my husbands..my response would be the same as Stephanie's.. I always find Brocantes so very expensive, especially as everytime we have had our own stall at a vide grenier, the Brocanters come round and buy everything they can at absolute rock bottom prices, then later on they are on their stall at 10 plus times the price they paid..message to self donr sell to them..sad about the weather..
I have to assume this vlog was recorded before you received all the comments regarding using the containers to store your belongs for an extended period. Hopefully you'll revisit this decision and find a better solution.
I think the tray was worth spending all that time in the rain and mud. Very beautiful. I knew the name of the Chateau but couldn't quite remember why, then I saw the staircase. I've seen a program about it's construction. I will definitely be going there when I retire and am free to travel. 🙂🇨🇦
Can I make a suggestion? Ok, china is never enough but you may also start looking for some affordable 'ancestral' portraits and french history related (Marie Antoinette, Louis XVI, Napoleon etc) personalities and rulers. It is always an expected and an essential decor for a chateau. Perhaps when you renovate the corridor you can put them there and in some guest bedrooms. It would be such an elegant period touch.
You are so beautiful and vibrant. I am disabled and cry because I can't to come there
❤️
Thank you so much for sharing that amazing Chateau with us, I have never seen such extraordinary architecture! ❤
Marvellous brocante thanks guys!
I love those finds and love that coat Steph!!!
I love seeing all the beautiful things they sell
Love love love the tray
Nice to watch shopping in the rain from my nice warm bed ❤
Love the fact u quoted Morrissey!!❤ and yes, Philip was right…u should have gone back for the wellis.😉😂
Love Stephanie's coat!
The panelling is great
