(This is an affiliate link, but that's definitely not why I'd like to promote the book. I think it absolutely captures the atmosphere of the local area and the sense of mystery that surrounds Chateau de Saint-Chartier!!)
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
In 'Sundays at the Chateau' Stephanie shares French chateau life and culture with you ❤️
A very special thank you to all of you who have become Patrons of the Chateau de Lalande. You have made The Chateau Diaries one of the top 400 Patreon accounts in the world, and have transformed not only our lives here, but the future of this beautiful chateau! I’m overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity. On behalf of this beautiful chateau that will continue to survive and flourish because of you, thank you!!!

My head is spinning, I feel as if I’ve been in a journey of 100 Cabinets of Curiosities. What an amazing man, what an incredible collection. Of COURSE he has secret passageways, he was born to have them.
I've seen many castles and chateaus but this is by far the most fascinating. You can see this man's whole life on display. What a life Ivo must have lived!! Wow just wow. 😮😮💗💗
Just Unbelievable!!! No words for such an amazing and vast collection...so sad to hear him talk of the Taliban and the Lapis Lazuli.....:(
@@sandicarpenter2658 I was thinking the same thing! How nice that he has the artifacts. It is men like him who have saved some of their culture for them.
@@sandicarpenter2658 I had the same thought about Afghanistan. So sad. So horrifying. Wish I could 'rescue' all the women and girls and take them to a safe place. Let the 'boys' stay there and kill each other off. Maybe that's the only way to end such evil is to eliminate procreation.
The time, the money, the travelers, the dedication this had to collect all of this historic itens. This is better than a a lot of museums I've seen. The knowledge he has about every item. I would love to visit that place...
You'd need days to see through it.
Stéphanie, I absolutely love that you spontaneously thought about transforming your enemies into lovely people, instead of killing them. You are a lovely person :)
yes that was great reminded me of Theo en Thea en het tenenkaas imperium a dutch movie for children in the end they get the power over the evil witch and first they want to turn her in something ugly but they decide to make her a kind loveable woman. The witch than gives a speech telling the audience she wants to breast feed all the babyseals personaly. With Stephanie her remark its only the second time i am confronted with that idea. and its amazing i mean why not she explained it so well and so logical.
Christians, in faith, are supposed to pray for their enemies. They are supposed to want & pray for their enemy’s to be better people. - Just Say’n
Definitely a more all-round popular move.- and you don't go to prison .....
but if she ever needs dark Cambodian magic......she also knows where to find it.
Same here! Thinking about quoting that as a header when sharing this video.
An extra-ordinary man, castle and life that he so generously shared with us through these videos...he lives with such focus and passion...he should write books about his adventurous life and how he came upon all those amazing collections...thank you so much for such an incredible tour...I'm quite lost for words...blissed out right now:-)
Ditto! Such a stylish place & fascinating man
didn‘t they say he‘s an author, too?
@@alexk7973 yes, he has written a murder mystery which takes place in that same castle...perfect with all those hidden passages...he has also written 30 or so pages of a new murder mystery set at LA Lande!
@@Erica-222 do you know the name of the book? Amazon?
@@kristing9154 sorry, I can't remember, but he showed it briefly in the video...perhaps if you as Stephanie she would be able to give precise details
I feel like if Wes Anderson ever comes across Ivo, then he's going to make film inspired by his life, his family and his chateau. It's incredible that a person and their life can be this jam-packed with interesting details.
That's actually a wonderful idea!
The Grand Budapest Chateau
What an extraordinary “home”. It seems like it would take 2 lifetimes at least to collect and then coordinate the various displays. If he had only 1-2 roomfuls you could easily have spent same amount of time recording and commenting. I’m glad he spoke so rapidly. Good camera work Philip.
Just wish they could have had closed caption... I feel like I missed so much info !
@@joycemetheny8338
Yes, I tried to get the English captions too. Although I paid close attention I feel that I missed a lot of information he gave. I will definitely be watching this again and probably more than once. I could spend hours in his library alone just looking at everything and that is without opening any books. If I did open a book I would be lost in bliss! I love books and always have ever since I learned to read Dr Seuss.
Oh goodness, Ivar is a keeper! His facetious irreverence is adorable! I could listen to his stories all day!
Ivo alone is one of the most captivating, interesting and intelligent people I have ever laid eyes upon and that is merely through this video, the Chateau is beyond my wildest dreams as the exterior was already on my computer screen, I would love to stay a week there with Ivo and learn so much from him!!!!! Thank YOU Stephanie and Philippe for this in depth duo of epic Sundays at the Chateau.!!!
I am absolutely in love with this castle. Every room is more interesting than many museums, and the fact that he knows exactly from where everything is and what they are is amazing. Thank you both for this! Incredible
He lives vicariously through himself. Ivo, the most interesting man in the world..........
Absolutely amazing! ...and I love how Stephanie suggested a positive peaceful black magic outcome 💕🌷
He really needs a chateau to house all these wonderful artifacts. What a life he led. Cleaning it must be a never ending job. Thank you Ivo for sharing your home and memories. Can't wait to see the out buildings 😍😘
He is adorable. I can't wait to see next week episode.
Watch out for that mother in law 😂😂😂😂 Best part of the whole video. This guy lives in the wrong century, I can picture him as a knight templar sooo easily. What a fascinating man and castle
For me the totally amazing thing is that he knows not only what he has but how old it is and what it was for.
What a privilege to let us see his amazing astounding collections, his stunning home and share his knowledge with us too! I feel enriched. Thank you 🙏 so much, and thank you Stephanie for making it happen, that was quite a pace he set, but your filming still as good as ever.
...fast and furious!!
Ivo is a real life character directly out of the Indiana Jones movies. Super fun!
Absolutely incredible! You almost have to devote many more episodes to fully cover all the treasures in and around this magnificent castle!!!
This man is beyond amazing! The beautiful treasures and stories are epic. I could talk to him for years. Imagine what you could learn. And so funny too! Thanks for introducing him to everyone
Simply incredible there are no words. How privileged one would feel to spend time with this amazing man at his home. You could spend weeks looking at all his collections
I cannot believe the many generations of collecting, varied cultures and 100's of years behind this collection! Again, I am overwhelmed after watching the first portion of the tour. My hope is that this collection has been categorized and the cultural artifacts recorded.
The portion of this collection which was viewed is breathtaking and I hope Mr. Ivo will invest in having it adequately documented and preserved for future generations to appreciate if it hasn't been done already. Also, I'm not someone from a museum background, but I am a collector and appreciator of antiquities.
Thank you to Stephanie, Ivo and Phillip!
I'm in love with his home. It is wonderful. I also love the fact he is a true gentle man. So very interesting, and extremely intelligent.
B R E A T H T A K I N G! What a character and knowledge he is, just amazing he must write his memoirs!!! Saludos from Chile
I don’t know how you do it! Now i’m completely intrigued by your neighbor and I am dying to learn more about his life and travels. He could easily replace the “most interesting man alive” from those imported beer commercials. Please invite him over.
Omg my jaw dropped 🤤 I have NEVER seen anything like all this. 🌹 THANK you for sharing 🤗
Just amazing, I can’t imagine there are many such collections. Imagine a duck crapping all over the beautiful furniture and rugs😳. I’m so very thankful for the chance to see all these unusual things and the castle , the fireplaces are just divine. 🥰🙋🏼
So, so interesting, honestly I think this could have been a mini series in its own right, over a few months. So much to see and take in. Thank you for sharing with us.
This man is just amazing , one of a kind, this castle is a real expression of himself . I can barely find the words to say how impressive ..🏰
WOW! That's the most amazing collection I've ever seen! It would be almost overwhelming, trying to take it all in! What an incredible man Evo is, such a broad palette of interests. I'm really looking forward to seeing the outbuildings!!
Thank you to Ivo and family for being so generous to let us see their home and amazing collections. I have enjoyed this series immensely and look forward to next weeks installment! X
I love the jewellery collection, I am a silversmith and my family and friends have collected stones from all over the world for me. What an incredible collection.
What a amazing place ,to have all that history in your house and life wow ,id be lost for days finding all the hidden rooms and treasures ,what a labour of love renovating no restoring all that ,the art work was lovely all the weapons and the witchcraft and black magic amazing you could fill that place every day for tours and what a film set that would make cant wait for part 3 great vlog Stephanie x
Extraordinary! One of the best chateau tours ever. Charming gentlemen with a wealth of knowledge.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A big thank you to Ivo what a charismatic, knowledgeable, well travelled man ...
This is the very best Chateau visit ever I was enthralled.
Looking forward to the next one. 😊
more beautiful items, and he has so much information on each piece. Such knowledge widens your understanding of the world and its people and customs. I would love to pick his brain for more information. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with the Lalanders.
My head is spinning, what a fantastic tour, so generous of him to let us into his home, very enjoyable.
This is the most amazing home I’ve EVER seen! The the furniture, artifacts, decorations, the pieces from all over the world and fireplaces are truly incredible! AMAZING 🤩
I have been in museums with smaller collections. This was an amazing tour
Wow what a collection. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like it. The castle is enormous , I wonder how on earth could anyone afford to heat it. Is there anywhere we can find out about Ivo’s life as he is just an incredible man. 🇨🇮
Stunning tour again.Thank you for allowing us to see it!
Absolutely stunning! Big thanks to Ivo for opening up his castle and letting us see his amazing property. What a character!!!
Obviously a museum quality collection. I can't imagine the upkeep, maintenance and dusting.
Thank you sharing this wonderful place. The time they have taken to display everything along with actually collecting it all is mind boggling. He may need a bigger chateau, this one just isn't large enough! I am also impressed with his thorough knowledge of each and every piece.
This is so indescribably amazing. I need a feature length film! A trilogy of macro photography of all the details!
The amount of history and culture within those walls are admirable.
Thank you Ivo, for showing us around your beautiful home. Truly Lovely.
This castle is magnificent and so unique. His kids are so lucky to live there.
I’ve known collectors, I’ve seen many collections but I’ve never ever seen a collection like this. So diverse, yet so focused. He knows what he wants and he collects it. I have no idea if he collects already collected collections or he collects objects himself to make his incredible collections. Which ever way he does it he has an incredible “museum” that is waiting to be shared.
He is the most interesting of people and one of the knowledgeable, handsome and articulate person I’ve ever seen. You are so lucky Stephanie to have him as a neighbour. He would be a regular at my dinner table, imagine the stories he could tell! I’d be enthralled.
Incredibly interesting and I can't imagine the effort to acquire all of the collections and knowledge to go with them.
I'm speechless, What an amazing collection ! Enjoyed very much. Cannot wait to see more. Love to all ❤
Stephanie thank you much for the interview with Ivo and showing us his spectacular castle his stories are so vibrant it is as though he has lived through many centuries and knows all the stories behind every item he owns it is so fantastic look forward to seeing more in your next vlog Stephanie
What a fascinating man. Parts of the collection are a bit too macabre for me and I doubt that I'd get much sleep there.
Simply incredible, collections so beautifully displayed.
what an interesting man! so much knowledge!! I would love to meet him one day. wow!!
Absolutely fascinating. What a really interesting and charismatic man. Thank you Ivo for showing us your collections and home.
I aspire to be like Ivo when I get older, what a man!
I can just sit there and listen to Ivo talk about anything.... he's so knowledgeable about everything.
Incredible! I’m not that into novels, but I am now curious to read one of Ivo’s books. An encyclopedic collection, and so artfully displayed. Thank you for this second installment of the show-round!
I also have a small collection of the small houses. They sit on the windowsill in my kitchen. 🙂🇨🇦
I feel like I haven’t done anything with my free time compared to this mans insatiable drive for knowledge…my vote vote for the most interesting person…geez
Ivo is such an interesting man, and a funny sense of humour. His home is beautiful, thank you for this tour
Absolutely beautiful and fascinating. The learned friend we all wish we had!
Amazing there is no way you could take it all in Stephanie you and Philip need to stay at least a week,would love to see it again. Thank you all for sharing this
Wow! What an incredible tour. Beautifully filmed and curated! Priceless collections. Thank you for this superb visit! Muchisimas gracias, Ivo. ❤️
That was certainly enlightening on so many levels ...
Extraordinary! Everything! A fascinating family. Thank you, Ivo for sharing your home and life with Stephanie and Philip. And this with us.
I think the man in the commercials needs to step aside. I think this video proves that Ivo may possibly be the Most Interesting Man in the World.
As we've seen in the last few days many ancient things are being destroyed. I want to thank Ivo personally for saving the things he has saved. It's truly important for us to preserve understand and learn from history. Ivo seems to have made it his life's work to save and protect these artifacts. I have an incredible amount of respect for this man.
Ivo, Thank You for an amazing and incredible tour of your beautiful home. You told so many lovely stories. Brilliant.
Wow! He is an extraordinary individual. I could listen to him talk about anything all day long. Thank you so much for introducing this man to us. Bless you Stephanie ❤️🙏🇨🇦🙏
Wow, what an amazing and eclectic collection of world artifacts. Absolutely fascinating. I want to know this man’s backstory- it can’t NOT be incredible!! What a wild tour! Thanks, Stephanie, Phillip and Evo!
Fascinating! I would love to hear stories about the trips he took to get his collection.
It's not every day that you get a personal chateau tour from Count Dracula and live to post the tale 😉
What an amazing collection of curiosities.
Thank you for sharing this adventure Stephanie and Phil.
Ivo Fornesa is so interesting, I would love to hear more about him.
Of all of the tours and fabulous places you've travelled to and shared with us, I have found this series of vlogs of the tour, the most interesting and fascinating videos I've ever seen. I am not exaggerating when I say that. I am in awe of Ivo and his home but mostly of his collection and knowledge of it all. He has led an amazing life and I would love to know more about him. I hope he has written his memoirs down somewhere and will have them published someday. I would love to read it. Thank you so, so much for sharing this with all of us. Wow!!!!!
🥰I agree! I too would love to read more about Ivo & his family!!🥰
Just incredible the treasures Evo has collected over his lifetime. The story-telling, the visuals. Just amazing. Great video work Philip and Stephanie your grimaces tell their own story. Thank you.
Ivo has just become my favorite person in the world he should write his memoirs the first installment because this wonderful man should live many more years enjoying his beautiful home and adding to his amazing collections.
I just wonder how he came to possess these interesting artifacts - that is a story of its own. All of a world apart.
Ivo, thank you for sharing your knowledge and your home. It was beautiful. Stephanie and Philip, I am enriched by these wonderful videos.
Absolutely amazed..........what an unbelievable collection and he knows the details about every item. Wow.....very entertaining. 😊
Such an articulate, kind and very intelligent, and interesting gentleman! I could listen and see all the rooms he could show and it is most enjoyable. Thank you Chateau Diaries and Owner and host of The Chateau de Saint-Chartier! So much to learn and see it was definitely astonishing to see anyone house so many historical antiquities in one home of any kind, I truly believe!
Loved seeing how well-armed women were in Africa and around the world and yet it was done so secretively to any ordinary bystander or perpetrator.
Philip must’ve been beside himself! This is one of the most amazing homes I have ever seen.
This man's chateau is extraordinary! Wow, what magnificent collections! Thank you for taking us with you on this tour!
This man and his collection should be the first human to be protected by Unesco heritage. What a treasure this human is and how lucky we are he shares this all with us. Amazing my jaw is still dropping and that started an hour ago. You just want to hug this man for ever.
What an incredible man his knowledge is infinite! His collections are beyond believe. Amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.
Interesting guy, castle, collections, stories.. What a life.. Amazing he managed to bring all to Europe
His chateau is beyond belief - truly amazing!
It is going to take me a week to unpack everything I just learned. Thank you so much.
I can’t. The part with the balls 😳 😂😂 Ivo you are a legend!
Hi Sorcha, I received your message but I think it got deleted.😂👍
@@jimmyconnolly3461 🤣💕💕
@@sorcha259 just post with pride!❤️😂😂
Awesome house, awesome collections. This guy comes across as a fascinating character.
I love this channel because you click on a video expecting just a tour of a fancy chateau, but then you also get surprised with stories of dudes carrying their own testicles in a jar, and testicle hats.
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am also speechless. What an absolute treasure trove. You would need at least an hour in every room to fully absorb the many interesting artefacts on display. I wonder if this lovely gentleman would ever consider opening his chateau to a small group?
These videos on Ivo's chateau are so amazing. He has sany things and the history! I wish we could hear Ivo speak about every single piece
I would love to know how long it took to gather these historical treasures and how they were acquired. I am in awe more so this episode than the last. Absolutely jaw dropping!
A beautiful house, though I am glad I am not in charge of the dusting!
Thank you for the video!
Wow. I watch all of your shows. This is the first time I’ve had to step out not once but four times. It was intense but marvellous and each segment I loved but so needed time just to digest what I had just seen. No doubt I will rewatch this episode again and again to get even more out of it. Anyone else feel the same?
Looking forward to part 2.
Amazing collection and chateau xx thank you for showing us Stephanie xx🥰🏰
I could happily live in that library.
Really looking forward to this
Wow! From London, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
Blimey what a place, what a man, what a vlog WOW!
