Thank you very much Tammy. I enjoy making the cooking videos. I have discovered some techniques and will share them soon. We did accomplish quite a bit but we only realise this through people like you ❤❤❤❤❤. Hugs
Before rooms are finished you forge ahead with furnishings and holiday decorations which is such a great spirit. Eventually you'll have painted and restored everything to perfection, but for now you are enjoying your life in the chateau.
Absolutely true! We decorate and enjoy the rooms even if they are not finished. It must be amazing to have the main chateau restored and then move to the north wing…. 😮😮😮😮. 😂😂😂. I’m glad we will have to stay active! Huge hugs ❤❤❤
Hi sweeties. Patrick, thank you for explaining to the group that i was dancing. As usual, it was a lot of fun. Even if during dancing it goes wrong... we laugh and keep on moving. Sunday dancing again 💃. I love all the Christmas decorations. You both have the talent for this. The table setting was beautiful. The fuge must have smelled so delicious. I got your message that you received both pgks. It's always fun unpacking to see what's inside😊 It's really cold here. The wind makes it more cold. How is the weather at Colombe? Maybe some snow with Christmas gives it a more season mood. The chateau is now really you home. Have a great weekend, darlings. Hugs and kisses also for the furries and Figaro. 🥰😘🐕🐈🌲
Love and hugs from us and the crazy 4 legged crew 😂😊😂. They are so sweet. I knew that you might be dancing and it was nice for people to ask ❤ thank you for the package. How wonderful. Thank you so very much 🎄💞🎄. The garland went straight up over the fireplace in the kitchen. So pretty ❤❤. Enjoy your weekend and I will use the Vera Wang when we go to Bourges this afternoon to film the market for the vlog. Thank you again 💗💖💗
Yes they are! When facing the chateau, the left wing is the carriage house, and the right wing is the original kitchen and scullery as well as staff living quarters. Thanks!
Patrick & Stuart the Grand Salon Christmas decorations are soo.................... Beautiful. I have watched the vlog twice, once on the phone then on our large TV. The room is truly magnificent, the spirit, the joy the awe, the happiness, achieved with the delightful lighting ribbons, trees and garlands that, light up like jewels. The garlands with the greenery ribbons and lighting , the turquoise two reindeer, the pale pink tree with birds, the blue tree, the crystal tree , the main tall tree with special keepsake decorations and lemon ribbon, and lights that, lit tree up like a jewel, the grand dining table, decorated beautifully and dressed, ready for Christmas. Patrick and Stuart it is how you artistically arrange your decorating Items, that are just so, individual and unique special, to the both of you, that is, soo special to see. Chateau Colombe now is a porto, of happiness, love, taking everyone on a fairytale Christmas adventure. of goodness, on a magical journey of beauty. and awe .
Hugs darling Jim. It is special at Christmas! So true. We love the decorations! And the fudge….. ohhhh so not what I need in the house 😂😂😂😂😂. Love from Colombe
Take down your decorations whenever the mood inspires you! Glad to see you are finally getting high speed Internet. A game changer. Love your sense of humour 😊
The dynamic duo never fails us! It’s not Christmas for me till I get to see all the beautiful displays. The fur babies running around always such a joy. Cuddles to them hugs to you two. Gonna make the fudge today yumo.❤🫶🏼🫶🏼💕
Hi Patrick and Stuart, When it comes to decorating for Christmas, the phrase that comes to mind is "more is never enough." However, when fully decked out, each room in the Chateau looks fabulous, and no two rooms look the same. Then there is the other side of the coin, "you're never done until you're finished". It all looks great and I know you'll certainly enjoy the season. Mark & Scott
Dear Mark and Scott. You two are just amazing! Thank you for your wonderful and uplifting comments. I agree with you….. more is absolutely better and there is always room for more decorations and greenery! We already have plans for next year…. 😮🤯😉🤣. Much love and hugs from Colombe ❤🎄🎁🎄❤
I love that Stuart is wearing a Santa hat and Patrick in red. Now that's the spirit of Christmas. You two are a great team and I love how you decorate. I get up early before the family arrives and turn all of the lights on the tre, the lantern light, outside light, deco displays etc. Light a few candles.
Ein fröhliches Hallo aus Deutschland. Ich folge euch erst seid kurzem, aber das mit Begeisterung. Alles ist so wunderschön weihnachtlich geschmückt. Freue mich auf viele weitere Vlogs von euch
Your decorations are very pretty,I don’t decorate so I will enjoy yours and all that hard work 😁❤️💋🎄the pups are very well behaved and sweet,love seeing them.figgy is sweet too😁💋🐈🐈⬛🥳🎄🧑🏻🎄🎅🏼love from Connie Kansas to Patrick and Stuart.❤️🇺🇸😁❤️🇺🇸😁❤️🇺🇸
Hugs Connie. Thank you so much. We always decorated a bit but here……. The chateau just demands to be decked. ❤😂❤. And the dogs and figgy are such wonderful companions. I completely understand that decorations are so much work (twice even, when packing everything up again). Hugs and love from Colombe ☃️🎄☃️
Aloha Patrick and Stuart, your decorations are elegant and beautiful. Patrick, your fudge looks so yummy. Good to see the supervisors making sure everything turns out just right🐾🎄🏰.
Aloha darling. We are lucky to have the supervisors here! I can recommend the fudge recipes. We both love them. Glad you like the decorations. We enjoy walking through the chateau and looking at the wonderful lights. ❤🎄🎁
The chateau looks gorgeous as a,ways. The trees and ornaments are so special, as is the ribbon used on each one. Thank you for the white fudge recipe Patrick. ❤
Fudge!!!!! I just finished making some for a 'do' I'm catering for tomorrow! You do have a flair for decorating and the wreath is a winner! Love the garlands with the clusters of fairy light woven through....another winner! Wait! Then the laurel leaves appear and they become winner number 3 and on it goes! Wow! Wow! Wow! To top all this off...Chocolate Fudge!!! What can I say further but WOW!!!!!
I realize that the walls in the grand salon are faded, but I love that current shade. I hope when you renovate that room it will stay in that color family. Home is looking gorgeous!
Thank you! No, the walls/wallpaper will not be staying that color. We already have a room in pink, and we have a vision for something much more grand for the grand salon.
I know what you mean. It is quite pleasant in the faded red. Originally, they was a much grander wood (remnants of wallpaper we found). But I’m sure you will enjoy the final look! Well, if we stick to our vision….. huge hugs 💗🎁🎄
Dear Stuart and Patrick, It's lovely to see you both laughing and teasing each other. May the joy of the season you both experience be equal to the number of decorations in your chateau! A great amount. I've enjoyed watching you decorate your home. It's become so pretty! I hope you enjoy the rest of the holiday immensely. Hugs!!
@@avivat3010 You are prepared! 👍🏻❄️👍🏻. I have my Chanukkah bush (tree) in the dining room. I love the silver and blue tinsel tree. Being half and half, I embrace both religions and carry them in my heart in peace. Wishing you a happy Chanukah.
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Our religions have much more in common than different, don't they? I love your Chanukkah bush too! Much love and thanks. 💗💗
Well done! I just realized that im privy to witness such talented artists.😊 i think y'all should call your group of chateau friends the Chaterlains Colony. I suggest this because y'all have different talents and skills but with the mindset of making your fabulous chateau a beatiful and welcoming home to those that really care. Happy Holidays. ❤ from Texas🇺🇲
You are such a kind person. Thank you! 🎄🎁🎄. It is true, we are all different and appreciate our differences and the inspiration that creates! I love your idea! Happy Holidays and huge hugs from Colombe 💗👍🏻💗
Patrick and Stuart. I apparently didn't say anything about ur decorations. U guy r amazing decorators. LOVE WHAT U DO❤ AND THE FUDGE.....EXCELLENT IDEA. I HAVENT SEEN UR DINNER EPISODE SO IM WONDERING HOW MUCH FUDGE U HAVE LEFT,? Bet not much!! OH i can imagine how great it was🎉 very lovely Grand Salon❤
So pretty! I love that you can open the door into your china pantry in the dining room. Jealous❤.. everything looks so festive and I hope everyone who is lucky enough to spend time with you guys has a fabulous time! The fudge looks yummy! 😊
Decor- A+. Here's a fresh greenery tip for everyone: light a candle while making cuttings of your greenery and dip the ends in the hot wax to seal the ends. They'll last a little longer in the house. Merry Christmas to you both, and thank you for sharing a part of your lives with us weekly.❤
Love the 🎼 🎶 as usual Stuart & of course the decorations. @Peter Bazinet OMG sorry about your neighbor. 😳 And @Marie Dowling thanks for asking after me. 🩷
My Mother was German and she always scraped out the last bits of anything left in the bowl. I love the memories this brought me. Your Chateau looks so beautiful and festive.
Thank you Kaytie. We cannot escape what we have observed in our childhood. For me, it was my granny. Every bit was scraped out. And when it was sweet, I would be the pre-washer 😂❤😂. Many hugs
When my kids were growing up and while they were in their twenties and thirties I would decorate every room, even bedrooms. Now that they’re in their forties with children of their own and houses of their own to decorate, I only do the entry hall, staircase, living room and dining room and wreaths on all the windows and candles in each window. It has gotten to be too much for me to do anything more. I enjoy watching you decorate your beautiful chateau. I will make the fudge recipe you made to add to the assortment of cookies I bake and tell everyone that I got this recipe from my friends in France! Bless you both and sending you many hugs!!! ❤
I completely understand. It is a lot of work! We have many rooms without any decorations. Since my parents don’t visit me anymore, I don’t have guests staying over. But the chateau will host the Christmas Eve dinner for our French family. ❤😊❤. It is lovely that do wreaths in the windows as well as candles. We haven’t put ours up yet….. 😂. The fudge is really delicious. Looking forward to the chocolate fudge next on my to do list 🎄💞🎄. Hugs from a festive Colombe
Love the Christmas decorations, Patrick and Stuart! In particular the garlands are quite striking. Patrick, that peppermint fudge looks tasty... yum! 🌲
Thank you. We love garlands. We have planned at least 4 more for next year. 😮😂😮🎄 The fudge is quite tasty and the chocolate ones I make are…… cinnamon whiskey and Baileys. So two more tastes to come. 😂❤. Hugs
Guys, the chateau decorations are beautiful. Loved the pink decorations in the foyer and the dining room table is so festive, and I just love a well laid table. Thank your for the recipe it sounded and looked very good. Looking forward to the completion of the fireplace/woodburner. Happy Holidays.
Thank you Penny. I am surprised that I actually like the pink decorations……. Was a try and didn’t think it would look so festive. 🎄😘🎄 the fireplace is going to complete a busy year! And then sitting down to dinner Christmas Eve……. It is going to be amazing. Hugs and best wishes 💗🎁🎄🎁💗
Thank you Patrick for the fudge recipe. I just tried my hand at making the recipe and it turned out to be divine. I will have happy guests come Christmas day here in Australia. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
I really like your monochromatic schemes. So elegant. (I have a traditional German-style tree. Not elegant.) A laugh- a friend told me she had a white tree with red lights one year and the neighbors thought her cottage was on fire and called the fire department!
Ohhhh my gosh, could you imagine? The fire department at your door for a false alarm. 🤣😂🤣. Good way to introduce one’s self. 🎄😂🎁. I grew up with the German trees….. my parents still did them in the 2000s……. I enjoy them all. Huge hugs from Colombe
Chateau is looking very festive Stewart and Patrick. Just love it! Colour themes for different rooms really provide a nice esthetic. Omg Patrick, I have to try and make that fudge!! Thx for the recipe. ❤
Everything looks beautiful! I can't imagine the amount of decorations you guys need for the chateau. Shopping for Christmas decorations must be fun though.
😘😂😘. It is a lot. We have a few viewers who make ornaments for us or send us garlands and beautiful glass treasures. It helps a lot. 🎄🎁🎄. And indeed, it fun to go and say…. Let’s get 200 ornaments 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hugs from Colombe
So wonderful to share in your Christmas decorating, beautiful! I have holiday decor all over the place in themed tableaux, 3 trees, 10 rooms decorated, thousands of white mini lights on the outside bushes, candles in the windows and my annual neighborhood open house tomorrow night, let the jolly fun continue! I'm in my 70s and just love doing all of this! Happy Holidays to you both!
How wonderful Patricia! I bet it is a huge success. Hope you have a lot of fun enjoying your open house. Like you, we love the mini lights. And we know that next year…. There will be more decorations 🎉🎄🎁. Hugs from Colombe. ❤
Aloha Patrick and Stuart, BRILLIANT! As I mentioned the first time I watched this video, I will be revisiting it again. Everything looks so perfectly magnificent. It’s always a joy seeing the pooches waging their tails. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. As we say in Hawaii,” Mele Kalikimaka 💚♥️🎄🐾🏰.
Sorry I missed the live chat today! I adore fudge and make it at Christmas, too! Maple fudge is tasty, but yours looks even better, Patrick! Yummy! Your Christmas decorations look beautiful and so festive! You can’t have too many fairy lights or gorgeous ribbons! Your design skills are so evident in your decorations! Stuart, your music choices today were stellar! They really added to our enjoyment of your preparations. Patrick, I would watch you beat the fudge into submission any day! Cheers! ❤️🌬️❄️☃️🎄🌟
Cheers Rita. Hope all is well. I like maple fudge as well. There is a French fudge recipe that is eaten all year around…. Definitely try that! Happy you like the decorations in the chateau. I too loved Stuart’s music choices. Watch out for fudge beating soon 😂❤😂. Happy Christmas 🎄☃️❄️☃️🎄
The happy laughter is infectious guys and I love it. The trees and the displays are beautiful and of course your gentle touch makes them very elegant, its magical. The fudge recipe I am going to have to use, how quick and easy is that. Loved seeing the fur babies about. The run up to Christmas here is hectic!! The extreme 40+ heat has not helped at all. Do you need a live in house keeper!!! Loving it all as usual 🎄😘😘❄☃🎄
Lovely decorations, and very elegant table scape. I also enjoyed the pups coming to give their opinion. The Timelapse tail wagging said it all! lol The website is looking great. Maybe a link to the go fund me for the chapel to fill a gallery page? Just a thought.
Thank you so much. And the pups are Pune is always a joy. I cleaned today and they were watching, making sure I don’t miss a spot 😂😂😂. Great input on the website! Hugs ❤❤❤
Good evening guy's you both did a beautiful job with the Christmas decorations the chateau looks lovely,the fudge sounds yummy Patrick happy holidays take care and see you both next time 💕🌼🤗
The chateau looks lovely with all the decorations in place. I have a sweet tooth and fudge is my weakness! I have to give the peppermint a try! Thanks for sharing.
The decorations look lovely, and the fudge looks delicious! ♥️♥️♥️ Ha, didn’t even think about the day/date combo. 🤣 Stopping there, because I have so much to do!
Thank you. We just started to decorate yet another space….. for next week. So I am taking 4-5 hours to reply to the many wonderful comments. Huge hugs 🎄😘🎄
Lovely to see you Stuart and Patrick so close to Christmas. Love all you do and your Chateau is looking FANTASTIC. Have a wonderful Christmas and NewYear. CHEERS 🥂 🎄💯🤗🎅🤩
Thank you darling Valarie. What a fantastic compliment. We might open the chateau next December for guest weekends……. It’s just an idea at this point. ❤🎄💞
The chateau looks festive and lovely for the holidays. The Christmas tree in the Grand Salon is beautiful. The fudge recipe is easy and sounds delicious. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
Ahh, I love to watch a man cleaning, lol, and Patrick you did a marvelous job! You both have such wonderful taste in decorating, and the chateau is no small home to fill! Stunning and cozy!
Thank you so much. You are truly a kind and wonderful person. ❤❤❤. I like cleaning because I enjoy when everything is clean….. I could do without the cleaning part 😮😂😮😂😮. The chateau is looking lovely. Hugs 🎁🎄🎁
I love your taste in decor! I also love Patrick’s cooking videos. You two have done such an amazing job in the short years at the chateau. ❤👏👏
Thanks so much! 😊

Great episode! Your decorations are lovely and I enjoyed the music choice very much through the decorating montage. Enjoy the season!
Thank you very much Randy. Have a peaceful season 💗🎁💗
Hi sweeties. Patrick, thank you for explaining to the group that i was dancing. As usual, it was a lot of fun. Even if during dancing it goes wrong... we laugh and keep on moving. Sunday dancing again 💃. I love all the Christmas decorations. You both have the talent for this. The table setting was beautiful. The fuge must have smelled so delicious.
I got your message that you received both pgks.
It's always fun unpacking to see what's inside😊
It's really cold here. The wind makes it more cold.
How is the weather at Colombe? Maybe some snow with Christmas gives it a more season mood.
The chateau is now really you home.
Have a great weekend, darlings. Hugs and kisses also for the furries and Figaro. 🥰😘🐕🐈🌲
Love and hugs from us and the crazy 4 legged crew 😂😊😂. They are so sweet. I knew that you might be dancing and it was nice for people to ask ❤ thank you for the package. How wonderful. Thank you so very much 🎄💞🎄. The garland went straight up over the fireplace in the kitchen. So pretty ❤❤. Enjoy your weekend and I will use the Vera Wang when we go to Bourges this afternoon to film the market for the vlog. Thank you again 💗💖💗
We had ice rain today while I worked on installing an antique lock in the chapel door. There won’t be snow for us 😮❤😊
The chateau looks magical. Awesome job. ❤
Thank you Carol ❤❤❤
Hours & hours of work all in 19 minutes…..fantastic 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much. 😊😂. It is so true! Seeing it in ime laps makes it all much easier 😂😂😂. Hugs from Colombe ❤
Dear Patrick and Stuart:, Are the buildings that flank each side of your chateau yours as well? I love your decorations. Your talent is ENDLESS!
Yes they are! When facing the chateau, the left wing is the carriage house, and the right wing is the original kitchen and scullery as well as staff living quarters. Thanks!
We have plans for the wing on the right. And ideas for the carriage house too. So glad you like our decorations. Hugs and love from Colombe 🎄🎁🎄
You both have such a flair for making the chateau elegant, but cosy and Christmas really brings that to the fore 🥰🥰
Hugs Marie. ❤❤❤. Thank you so very much 🎄💞🎄. I have to say, it is very elegant 😊. We are looking forward to decorating even more rooms. 😊😊😊. Hugs

tree up like a jewel,
the grand dining table, decorated beautifully
and dressed,
ready
for Christmas.
Patrick and Stuart
it is how you artistically arrange your decorating
Items, that are just

Guys, the chateau decorations are beautiful. Loved the pink decorations in the foyer and the dining room table is so festive, and I just love a well laid table. Thank your for the recipe it sounded and looked very good. Looking forward to the completion of the fireplace/woodburner. Happy Holidays.
Thank you Penny. I am surprised that I actually like the pink decorations……. Was a try and didn’t think it would look so festive. 🎄😘🎄 the fireplace is going to complete a busy year! And then sitting down to dinner Christmas Eve……. It is going to be amazing. Hugs and best wishes 💗🎁🎄🎁💗
Thank you Patrick for the fudge recipe. I just tried my hand at making the recipe and it turned out to be divine. I will have happy guests come Christmas day here in Australia. Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.
Thank you. That makes me really happy! Have a peaceful Christmas and a happy 2025 ❤❤❤
I really like your monochromatic schemes. So elegant. (I have a traditional German-style tree. Not elegant.) A laugh- a friend told me she had a white tree with red lights one year and the neighbors thought her cottage was on fire and called the fire department!
Ohhhh my gosh, could you imagine? The fire department at your door for a false alarm. 🤣😂🤣. Good way to introduce one’s self. 🎄😂🎁. I grew up with the German trees….. my parents still did them in the 2000s……. I enjoy them all. Huge hugs from Colombe
Je vous souhaite de passer de joyeuses fêtes ,dans votre château et avec la famille et des amis .
Thank you very much. Bonnes fêtes to you and your family
Chateau is looking very festive Stewart and Patrick. Just love it! Colour themes for different rooms really provide a nice esthetic. Omg Patrick, I have to try and make that fudge!! Thx for the recipe. ❤
I hope the grand salon has pink in it when you redo it I mean if you plan it as you always do perfect redos
Loving your creativity with the Christmas decorations. Fudge looks yummy.
Thank you Patricia. We like to have all kind of different themes….. it is so much fun 🎄💗🎄
Wonderful job decorating! It all looks so charming! Enjoy💕🎄
How kind of you. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤❤. Glad you like it 🎄🎁🎄
Everything looks beautiful! I can't imagine the amount of decorations you guys need for the chateau. Shopping for Christmas decorations must be fun though.
😘😂😘. It is a lot. We have a few viewers who make ornaments for us or send us garlands and beautiful glass treasures. It helps a lot. 🎄🎁🎄. And indeed, it fun to go and say…. Let’s get 200 ornaments 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Hugs from Colombe
Beautiful, Patrick we should have a fudge showdown, new recipe this year, salted Carmel and Peanut butter, yum, along with my traditional fudge.
Ohhhhhh that sounds delicious! I’ll make two more tomorrow….. fun! Thank you so much 😊
So wonderful to share in your Christmas decorating, beautiful! I have holiday decor all over the place in themed tableaux, 3 trees, 10 rooms decorated, thousands of white mini lights on the outside bushes, candles in the windows and my annual neighborhood open house tomorrow night, let the jolly fun continue! I'm in my 70s and just love doing all of this! Happy Holidays to you both!
Happy holidays! 😊
How wonderful Patricia! I bet it is a huge success. Hope you have a lot of fun enjoying your open house. Like you, we love the mini lights. And we know that next year…. There will be more decorations 🎉🎄🎁. Hugs from Colombe. ❤
Aloha Patrick and Stuart, BRILLIANT! As I mentioned the first time I watched this video, I will be revisiting it again. Everything looks so perfectly magnificent. It’s always a joy seeing the pooches waging their tails. Have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS. As we say in Hawaii,” Mele Kalikimaka 💚♥️🎄🐾🏰.
Sorry I missed the live chat today! I adore fudge and make it at Christmas, too! Maple fudge is tasty, but yours looks even better, Patrick! Yummy! Your Christmas decorations look beautiful and so festive! You can’t have too many fairy lights or gorgeous ribbons! Your design skills are so evident in your decorations! Stuart, your music choices today were stellar! They really added to our enjoyment of your preparations. Patrick, I would watch you beat the fudge into submission any day! Cheers! ❤️🌬️❄️☃️🎄🌟
Cheers Rita. Hope all is well. I like maple fudge as well. There is a French fudge recipe that is eaten all year around…. Definitely try that! Happy you like the decorations in the chateau. I too loved Stuart’s music choices. Watch out for fudge beating soon 😂❤😂. Happy Christmas 🎄☃️❄️☃️🎄
I love how you do a bit of everything in the videos decorating, cooking and renovation it keeps it interesting oh and shopping love the decor gorgeous
Thanks so much! 😊
Fantastic feedback! Thank you very much 💗🎄🎁
The happy laughter is infectious guys and I love it. The trees and the displays are beautiful and of course your gentle touch makes them very elegant, its magical. The fudge recipe I am going to have to use, how quick and easy is that. Loved seeing the fur babies about. The run up to Christmas here is hectic!! The extreme 40+ heat has not helped at all. Do you need a live in house keeper!!! Loving it all as usual 🎄😘😘❄☃🎄
Fudge looks delicious and the decorating is just lovely. What a lovely Christmas you are making.
Hugs Linda. I love this fudge because is has the refreshing mint flavor. But I love almost all fudge…. 😂😂😂. Hugs from Colombe❤❤❤

Lovely decorations, and very elegant table scape. I also enjoyed the pups coming to give their opinion. The Timelapse tail wagging said it all! lol
The website is looking great. Maybe a link to the go fund me for the chapel to fill a gallery page? Just a thought.
