Hello everyone, I chose this photo for the thumbnail, because I thought it was the sweetest moment in the video. I thought it was clear that Amaury was leaving - with his backpack and man bag. Since then, I've seen some comments from people thinking Molly was sick. Therefore, I've changed the title in the hope it's clearer that Amaury and Nati are leaving Molly as they're going away, not the other way around. Just to be clear, I would not vlog Molly's final moments with Amaury and it never crossed my mind anyone would think that from this title. Luckily, Molly is in great health! Love, Stephanie x
Thank you for responding so quickly to the one comment, Stephanie. One never knows how things will be received. I knew Natie and Amaury were leaving so it was only a split second of concern for me. 😳 💗
Im sorry but anyone who has watched your videos especially from the beginning should realize you address the truly sad news personally and with as much respect as possible. Oh well ❤
Dear Stephanie , I’ve been following for a very long time . I’ve often said to those close to me … I cannot sing I cannot play music I cannot dance I cannot add I cannot subtract I cannot cook like a chef I cannot write well I cannot speak well. I cannot offer you worldly finery I am not beautiful But …. That gives me time to love you and pray for you Thank you for all you are and all you do!you make a difference in to his world
I thought it so funny when Nati yelled “Beep Beep!!!” Out of the window when pulling out of the courtyard!!! I’m thinking she is a wee bit excited to be going on a WELL DESERVED holiday!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Dear Stephanie, this message is surely going to be much longer than an usual message should be. I have been watching your videos for past couple of years and undoubtedly enjoyed all the episodes a lot. I live in Uk for past 25 yrs but originally from India, a place called Kolkata in West Bengal. I thought of writing a comment many a times in the past but somehow I didn’t. Yesterday Maria recited a poem written by the noble laureate Rabindranath Tagore. Tagore was from West Bengal as well. Tagore is the Shakespeare of Bengal as we all think. And he created a place , called Shantiniketan in the rural suburbs of West Bengal which is a hub of literature, poetry, music and etc etc. Many great poets, writers from Europe visited that place and still do. It is a recognised University now. I always used to tell my hubby who is a cancer specialist in Uk and came from the same place in India as well that Stephanie actually created a literary atmosphere like Tagore, just like shantiniketan in her chateau, culturally so rich and yet wrapped in warm love and life. Hence I really felt that I need to convey my thoughts to you after Maria, one of super talented members of Lalande family chose to recite one of his great masterpieces during dinner table conversation. I am sure, Tagore would have loved to see , appreciate and adore your immense capabilities and talents to create a place like Lalande where you & Philip along with all other members of the Lalande international family together weaving a beautiful tapestry of ART and HUMANITY at the highest level .Best wishes and Loads of love.❤️❤👏🏻❤️❤️
Amaury is gold. Apart from his obvious talents, he is loyal and loves deeply. It is so moving the way he engages with Molly. It is a real relationship and beautiful to see. Not a surprise when you see his parents.
I hope Nati and Amaury have a wonderful, relaxing time away. Sending extra love and hugs to Molly. I know she will be well loved while they’re gone. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗
It's so sweet Amaury's folks are there for Molly, allowing him and Nati to truly go and enjoy their time knowing Molly is well. She is such a sweet girl. And Lancelot on your lap is the cutest thing. 💕
In case Maria doesn’t know, composer John Alden Carpenter set that Tagore poem, and several others, to music for voice and piano. It’s a lovely song cycle called Gitanjali. Maybe when Maria comes back, she and Stephanie can do it together.
Nati was so excited, as she should be! She works so hard during the season! They both deserve a long vacation! My favorite part was Lancelot curled up in your lap. He's learning how to fit right in at LaLande.
Amaury and Nati, have a wonderful vacation. Welcome back, Sabina. Zara, that was a lovely meal. The poem was very heartfelt with all that is happening in the world. Thank goodness for Lalanders keeping the love going.❤
Dining in the Red Salon for the cooler seasons makes all the sense in the world. It's tradition is it not, to have a red dining room. It also differentiates the change from guest season to family time. Maria reads a poem to seal the special feeling.
Maria. You have bought so much joy laughter and delight to Lalande and to us blessings as you wing your way onward ,stay safe and enjoy your new adventures. We will all miss you ❤❤❤
I loved that poem. My sister and I spend happy days at the beach watching the children play, watching them meet, building castles, playing with shells and pebbles. We do this year, after year, after year. Thank you Maria.
Absolute amazing that Maria recited a poem by Rabindranath Tagore - famous literary giant from India. How does she know of him? She is so well read, cultured and accomplished. A true Renaissance woman.
Wishing Nati and Amaury a good vacation. Molly will be well loved by all the LaLanders in their absence. Dinner looked delicious in the old dining room, very cozy. Thanks Stephanie🙏❤️
Ohhhhh.. it's only Amaury ,& Nati leaving .. but dear old Molly😢 she's gonna miss them. You all may pull together to keep her busy, comforted n loved 🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕
Beautiful poem!! Safe travels to Nati and Amaury and all the best to a wonderful time with new life at Lalonde! Thanks always for sharing the lovely in the world 💛
Those beignets were so cute with a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top. They are served at the Cafe du Monde, NOLA 3 to a plate with a mountain (a MOUNTAIN) of powdered sugar on top. Chickory coffee can be served at night with none to very little caffeine effect to all but the most sensitive due to the caffeine content being greatly reduced by it's mix with roasted chickory root, making it essentially naturally half caff or less. At the Cafe du Monde it's served brewed very strong (to combat all that sugar) in small cups. I fell in love with the flavor (the chickory root produces a mellow rich velvety coffee no matter how strong it's brewed) and order it through Reily Foods. The label on any chickory coffee will recommend using way less than usual to brew a pot. They're not kidding. For brewing a 12 cup pot I use about 2 tablespoons and it's plenty strong enough.
Beautiful reading of Rabindranath Tagore. I have several collections of his work and a friend has a letter from him written to his own grandfather! Tender momemts there a CLL. So many people coming and going, pulling on heartstrings. ❤
Beautiful poem and cheers to the new chef. How long is she here for? Her name is Tara? Somehow I missed her first introduction. Goodbye and blessings to Maria on her journey.
Seeing the connection between Amaury and sweet Molly is so endearing. She is devoted to him, and he to her. So glad Tatinette and Stephen were there to care for her while they were gone, and of course, all of you and Lancelot. 🥰🥰🥰
Been wondering for awhile. What's up with the grey cupboard in the kitchen? Doesn't match anything else, and it looks grimy. Everything else is so pretty. ❤
I am wishing Amaury and Nati a great holiday! 🥰So nice to see returning friends to the chateau and what a lovely feast of delicious foods to share amongst friends. Love the new pie saver Phillip! You know I am a cheerleader for your collections! 😁
Love Natie's bag! Your Aunt and Uncle are so elegant even so early in the morning. Yeah Kara for stepping in with the cooking! Yeah more Maria in the Vlogs! Butter Beer!! Woohoo!! My youngest daughter was filmed and photographed drinking the frozen butter beer at the pre-opening of The Wizarding World by I think "Wired" and Brazilian News while at Olivander's. I think they picked her because of her long curly hair and the effects of picking your wand. Also, it was a trip to celebrate all three of my children's birthdays which are in the same month. They had the First Birthday in the Three Broomsticks. When the manager found out there were 3 birthdays in the 3 Broomsticks she was overjoyed and really made an impact on my kids! 💞💗💞
French supermarkets are better than any supermarkets in the US , I am French living in the US for 34 yrs , it is a struggle , even organic food is processed , you are so lucky to live in France
In home economics we made a pie and I still have the recipe. It was French chocolate pear pie. It was good. Philip, you could make one in it, and tell Stephanie "See, it was worth the money." 😄
My first home economics pie was a lemon meringue, unfortunately I do not have the recipe. 😢 I wish I did. I love your idea of the French chocolate pear pie, it sounds marvelous! Keri💜
Love how you all just get along and love what each other is doing, by the way at the Harry Potter studio the butter beer is sickly sweet butterscotch flavour.
Yes for a moment there the title had me worried about Molly..we don't need titles to your vlogs we love you all and are going to come back every day to see what's going on your happy world
If you read her comment you would know that she didn't mean for it to seem like something bad was happening. People need to chill and realize she isn't the kind of channel to use clickbait.
I noticed the heater in the kitchen, when is the heating going to be operational for you? I thought it was all installed earlier in the year to give you cosy heat now. What’s happened? 😊
Oh Stephanie,,,,Sir Lancelot has got you now ❤. My daughter has a mini dachshund named Tucker who loves to sit with us all the time,,,but I got reprimanded when I let him sit on my knee during a meal 😬,,,,now he wants to sit on hers and and he will tell you she’s not a softy like me 🤗. Enjoy that wee love.
Gosh! I am catching up after a week with no internet!! I thought for a minute, Nati, Amaury AND Maria were all leaving....phew! I am really going to miss Maria, as will you! Is she going to another job? So happy for Marie to have her Mum and sister with you all too. Sandi x
Rabindranath Tagore is my favorite poet. It's a treat to hear you recite this poem, Maria. "The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion." -- R. Tagore

Thank you for changing the title and sorry for overreacting. Hope you understand that the reaction came from us just really caring about you all.
Thank you for responding so quickly to the one comment, Stephanie. One never knows how things will be received. I knew Natie and Amaury were leaving so it was only a split second of concern for me. 😳 💗
Never gave it a second thought. Clearly you can see he's off to somewhere with his bag. 🤗🦋
Ps. it is a beautiful picture. 🦋
you can change the thumbnail if you want, so that people stop thinking that :) 🤗
Im sorry but anyone who has watched your videos especially from the beginning should realize you address the truly sad news personally and with as much respect as possible. Oh well ❤
It near broke my heart watching Mollie and Amery say goodbye, especially when she raised her paw to his arm.
Dear Stephanie , I’ve been following for a very long time . I’ve often said to those close to me …
I cannot sing
I cannot play music
I cannot dance
I cannot add
I cannot subtract
I cannot cook like a chef
I cannot write well
I cannot speak well.
I cannot offer you worldly finery
I am not beautiful
But ….
That gives me time to love you and pray for you
Thank you for all you are and all you do!you make a difference in to his world
Maria hiding a photo of herself on the back of Natti's phone is brilliant. I love her sneaky humour
I thought it so funny when Nati yelled “Beep Beep!!!” Out of the window when pulling out of the courtyard!!! I’m thinking she is a wee bit excited to be going on a WELL DESERVED holiday!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

You guys need a log bin beside the log burner!
Maria, that poem brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for bringing such wit, intelligence, humour and creativity to us all. Gosh we will miss you. 🇦🇺
Nati was so excited, as she should be! She works so hard during the season! They both deserve a long vacation! My favorite part was Lancelot curled up in your lap. He's learning how to fit right in at LaLande.
Kinda amusing to see foods from the French Quarter being served in France as novelties 😂 Got to love some beignets.
Amaury and Nati, have a wonderful vacation. Welcome back, Sabina. Zara, that was a lovely meal. The poem was very heartfelt with all that is happening in the world. Thank goodness for Lalanders keeping the love going.❤

So happy to see a fellow Louisianan! Beignets! Beign-Yay! They’re so good. Safe travels Nat and Am! And Lancelot is so precious. ❤️
Maria. You have bought so much joy laughter and delight to Lalande and to us blessings as you wing your way onward ,stay safe and enjoy your new adventures. We will all miss you ❤❤❤

She is so well read, cultured and accomplished. A true Renaissance woman.
Lancelot on Stephanie’s lap was T.C. (Too Cute). It’s funny how the one in the family who didn’t want a dog becomes the dogs favorite & vice versa.
Stephanie, your aunt looks beautiful.It is so nice to see them back in France. Wow things are certainly changing in the lalande world. 🤗
Love the poem Maria read at dinner ❤❤❤Happy vacation to Nati and Amaury 🎉🎉🎉
Kara seems like a kind and good natured person.
Wishing Nati and Amaury a good vacation. Molly will be well loved by all the LaLanders in their absence. Dinner looked delicious in the old dining room, very cozy. Thanks Stephanie🙏❤️
Happy Travels sweet Amaury & lovely Nati ,- a well earned rest ❤❤❤
Happy holidays, Nati and Amaury! I'm sure Lancelot will look after Mollie very well.
I hope Kat will also visit soon. I miss her sense of humor and all of her Katnesss :)
Bye bye Maria. Happy sailing.
What a beautiful poem to end on! We will miss you, Tara for now safe travels and adventure to you ❤
So many leaving and so many new faces arriving. Life moves on even if you don't want it to.
What a wonderful poem told Maria ! We will miss you Maria; your wisdom, knowledge and talents. All the best wishes..
Ohhhhh.. it's only Amaury ,& Nati leaving .. but dear old Molly😢 she's gonna miss them. You all may pull together to keep her busy, comforted n loved 🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕🐾🐾💕
That little dog is so so good. Good and adorable too!
A hug for Pavlina her pain is palpable there. Great love.
Did she hurt herself or is she sad they or Maria are leaving?
Just a feeling, no story.@@kimberlyearly8918
Beautiful poem Maria, you will be missed. Lancelot will keep Molly occupied while Nati and Amaury are away.
it's nice to see Mary enjoying herself like a guest for a change! :) I am all for a Harry Potter movie marathon!!! :)
"No" to butter beer and a MASSIVE "yes" to the poem (and poetry in general)!
The way Lancelot curled up on Stephanie's lap while she sat at the dinner table was just precious!
I know 🥹
Beautiful poem!! Safe travels to Nati and Amaury and all the best to a wonderful time with new life at Lalonde! Thanks always for sharing the lovely in the world 💛

Loved the poem! Thank you Maria❤
Calm down, they're just going on hols 😆
Yes what is wrong with these weird comments. Calm down 😂❤ life will go on trust me Mrs O 🇬🇧😍
Molly looks so sad..... Oh my gosh.
Beautiful reading of Rabindranath Tagore. I have several collections of his work and a friend has a letter from him written to his own grandfather!
Tender momemts there a CLL. So many people coming and going, pulling on heartstrings. ❤
I hope Amaury and Nati have a wonderful holiday. Sorry for misspelling her name.
❤
A lovely episode, thanks Stephanie 💛
Nati and Amuary off on a well deserved holiday 🙌
Thank you for a lovely vlog, love little Lancelot sleeping on Steph’s lap. Wishing Maria all the love and luck in the world, she will be missed K🇬🇧❤
Nati's excitement when she was about to leave was so adorable. And her beep beep out the window was so funny I watched it three times!😂
Beautiful poem and cheers to the new chef. How long is she here for? Her name is Tara? Somehow I missed her first introduction. Goodbye and blessings to Maria on her journey.
Nice poem, have a great vacation A,N. Molly will be just fine.
Amaury and Nati…in my opinion, are just going to see Nati’s family. Why wouldn’t they? They both work extremely hard, enjoy beautiful peeps ❤
Lots of hugs for Molly! ❤❤❤❤
Seeing the connection between Amaury and sweet Molly is so endearing. She is devoted to him, and he to her. So glad Tatinette and Stephen were there to care for her while they were gone, and of course, all of you and Lancelot. 🥰🥰🥰

Sir Lancelot is the perfect replacement for a hot water bottle.
Precious puppers ☺️☺️☺️ Bon voyage Am & Nat! Love you all🩵
I am wishing Amaury and Nati a great holiday! 🥰So nice to see returning friends to the chateau and what a lovely feast of delicious foods to share amongst friends. Love the new pie saver Phillip! You know I am a cheerleader for your collections! 😁

' On the seashore of endless worlds... 💛 good enough is perfect for the child within us all 💓 thank you for the reminder Maria xx
I hope they have a wonderful holiday! 😊

Philip, the table looks absolutely gorgeous!!!
I love Lancelot, what a sweet, kind and alert puppy! I know you are enjoying his company so much!
What I love is the wonderful atmosphere at Lalande, everything going on but warmth and love, what a n amazing team you are ❤❤❤
I love everyone at your Chateau!
Great video, Love to all,
Thank you for the poetry reading.
Cafe Du Monde coffee is the best coffee! The restaurant is heavenly. It brought back happy memories and made me smile!
In home economics we made a pie and I still have the recipe. It was French chocolate pear pie. It was good. Philip, you could make one in it, and tell Stephanie "See, it was worth the money." 😄

Congrats on all fronts...welcome back!
Lancelot prefers lap time over table food. What a sweet little dog ❤. He’s learning so ell from Molly.
Yes for a moment there the title had me worried about Molly..we don't need titles to your vlogs we love you all and are going to come back every day to see what's going on your happy world

Such a wonderful poem!
Beautiful poem read by Maria
That's so funny - Oncle Stephan walked out ot the área de cuisine and I immediately thought, hmmm... that's unexpectedly drab for him.
I seriously think Lancelot said, “Mommy yelled at me!” when he tried to sniff Stephanie’s plate.
Love that poem! So fitting for LaLande,
Methinks Stephanie is smitten w Lancelot! 💕😍❤️
Have fun you two ❤😊
"Two Lovers Off to see the World".....Breakfast at Tiffany's ......! Bon Voyage.
I noticed the heater in the kitchen, when is the heating going to be operational for you? I thought it was all installed earlier in the year to give you cosy heat now. What’s happened? 😊

I hope Amaury & Nati have a grate holiday. Dinner looked lovely.
