AND don't mind being in the video! So many times you'll see a video with blurred out faces or logos (like a company is going to create a fuss about free advertising) These guys aren't embarrassed about their quality of work & know that new work could be made possible because of it😊 If it were substandard work they would want the blurred tool😮
We restore pianos and pipe organs, and it's the same issue. The instrument needs the same thing as the building needs - consistent temperature and humidity. We had a client who wanted to take the pipe organ out of their chapel and replace it with an electronic one, but the building stayed at 85% humidity inside, so imagine how that plays out? It makes me so happy to see this chapel restoration in such good hands. What a jewel of a place! Thank you for taking us along on this restoration journey! Love from Virginia, US.
Thanks to the restorers for taking time out from their work to explain so much of their process on camera and share some personal stories. Really quite fascinating.
Stephanie, you have a wonderful sense of humor. What you said to the man about being barefoot in the chapel for the walls was hilarious and unexpected.
Stephanie, I love how, when you don’t know what to be excited about, you ask, “what am I excited about?” you never want anyone else to miss out on their glory moment.
The chapel restorers are such artisans... it's fascinating to hear their anecdotes and background, so thank you for taking the time to make subtitles! 💐
The entire interior of the chapel is a painting, and it's clear that it will have to be conserved as a painting would be in a museum. Fortunately you're getting the guidance you need to achieve this. Thank-you for keeping us informed.
Stephanie you are happy we can know what the craftsmen are doing in the chapel as they speak to you. It is amplified with us how happy we are that you are bilingual. Carol from Nova Scotia, from a country with two official languages!
Yes, thank you for all the subtitles. The chapel reconstruction is fascinating and all the gentlemen just warm my heart with truer care and excellence. Thank you for all of your time and diligent work to share
The chapel work is so time consuming yet the restorers are very precise. You’re lucky to have the experienced help. And conscientious as well. 👌🏻-Alls well.
Thank you for taking the time to subtitle. I also want to thank you for taking the time get perspectives of both paint restorers. It’s so interesting to hear the way the younger man started in the trade and how he continues to be inspired with the craftsmanship and the associated delights of working with antique religious buildings. I also really enjoy being taken to see the workings of things like the old heating system. Fascinating!
The chapel restorers are amazing. Their knowledge is so broad, using chemistry, physics, history, art to do their work. It’s fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing & adding the subtitles. That must be a lot of extra work for you. Thanks 😘🤗🇨🇦

Just a suggestion but I think it would be really amazing to make a book about the chapel renovation with all the star owners and then hand bind it in beautiful leather in the style of medieval books like the Book of Kells and create this beautiful artifact that could be on the show in the chapel so that whenever people come and see it they can flip through this magical book and see how much work, love and effort went into it
That was really interesting listening the Chapel worker tell how everything works!! I learned so much!!! Those men are awesome!! It really is fascinating!! I'm blown away about how advanced the underground heating was when they installed it originally! Advanced for the times most certainly! So thankful for the workers restoring the chapel!❤
Excellent editing Stephanie. Love your busy days and your quiet days! It’s your everyday life at La Lande that attracted sooooo many fans. Thanks again for including us on your adventure.❤
If you can't use the venting system, please think of putting glass over it (like the glass they used for the walkout at The Grand Canyon in Arizona) so it may be enjoyed by all!
Lancelot on the cushion made me laugh so much. Wendy is very gifted. It really is such an amazing likeness. Now all he needs is his Medieval costume! ❤ Thank you for the update and extra chapel info. Much appreciated.
I would like to say how much I appreciate the captioning that you do for the French-speaking portions. I never knew you did this yourself and that's so impressive. Thank you for that. In fact I thought perhaps it should be my segue into learning some French! I like this quiet day in the Château. And of course, I love seeing little Lancelot, who I am sure we all missed deeply--but whose sweet spirit lives on in these videos.
Omg That pillow of lancelot i want to buy one he is the most perfect dog for lalande what a match he is so cute i cant stand it ! God Bless you all you are joy bringers !
I think there are always exciting people in the Chateau whether it's one or one dozen. Then there's Lancelot adding comedic relief and unstoppable cuteness.
Absolutely the top top top! How I love learning these small tidbits of history. And to hear, in Elton's own words, how much he loves his work. Yes, every day is different and you give it 100 percent because it really matters what you do. That's happiness. And glad to see you all going your separate ways at dinner -- downtime is needed, naturally.
If the budget stretches maybe a suitable glass skylight over the historical underground heating hole for all to see … bit like the Glass Pyramid at the Louvre- teeny version of course 😊 great find though…
Thank you for subtitling your conversations in the chapel. Without them, I would only understand one or two phrases of your conversations, and there is so much fascinating information, I would not want to miss anything! By the time I took a French class, I was in my last year of secondary school. Languages are best learned in early childhood! Wendy did a fantastic job with those pillows! Lancelot looks very regal! With the pillows all in a line, you could call it “Lancelot and his human servants!” 😂
How fascinating, that the chapel has an ancient Roman-style heating system in it - and one like Notre Dame! I love that you have such respect for the historical aspects of this property. And I love the cushions!
Thank you Stephanie for taking time to put subtitles, I have appreciation for the language/sound as well as knowing what’s being said. Wendy did a wonderful job on the 3rd installment of pillows. Lancelot looks great, one could say knightly❤. The video goes so quickly bc I enjoy it so with my coffee in the morning. I find myself smiling almost the entire time. Marie I love/excited for cooking/creating/passion for it and it’s nice seeing that when you do as well. So happy for you.
I admire Benoît et Elton so much. They are true artists. (And I love the subtitles; I'm studying French and it so helps to hear and read it at the same ti.e.)
Stephanie, your voice talking about the chapel heating system and converting it to ventilation… you sounded like a documentary narrator! I mean that in a good way too!
Is there any way that you could keep the hypocaust chamber exposed so that it may be seen -maybe a toughened glass cover, similar to those used in museums. A discreet solar light to light it up from inside would look amazing. What a treasure you have!
Wonderful cushions, and Lancelot is the star of the show, both as himself, and also on the cushion! So interesting about the under floor heating at the Chateau. xxx
How nice are the Chapel guys. You can tell they love their job and we all know they are Artists. Interesting about the ventilation of the Chapel I so hope they come up with a plan. I love Philips liquid dinner 😁
So enjoy listening to Benoit explaining everything they are doing. Elton is such a gentle soul & what a great team they make. Thank you for another video in the life of the Chapel restoration ❤
I totally understand touch being more accurate than sight! I have had very low vision all my life so touch as well as hearing are my more reliable senses.
I could certainly tell my house was out of level in my bare feet better than all the blokes in boots before they used their equipment to test the floor levels 😊
I LOVE hearing (reading) the chapel sections. It's fascinating! I am also looking forward to the springtime flower tours and your strolls through the woods! Spring at La Lande!
Fascinating learning about how they used to heat the chapel. I am learning all sorts of new things watching your vlog lol The pillow Wendy made for Lancelot is sooo adorable ❤
😍SO true!! More & more rare findings about the chapel…….what a gem!! So glad Its being fully restored!! 🙏💖 😄OMG Wendy! Lancelot looks very regal on that pillow! Great job!!💖
10:19 - Stephanie- when the architect/bldg engineer looks into ventilation, ask him about geo-thermal heat. It could bring a constant 60°F ambient temp in fluid-charged tubing filling the hypocaust passages & warming/cooling ventilation air to that constant temperature. No condensation/evaporation swings. Yes?
That had to have been one of the most interesting, or the most informative sessions in the chapel. Thank you for all the subtitles. It was so well worth it. Thank you so much Stephanie!
I really enjoy the conversation with the chapel restorers, including the previous ones. They are so knowledgeable and so willing to share their expertise. And thank you for providing the subtitles - I took French in college - many years ago, so can't quite follow along!
Stephanie, I’m a fan for a very long time- just wanted you to know the chapel is my very special, favourite part of the whole chateau story. So so fascinating, the history, the beauty..thanks so much for the translations..much love from Canada! Congratulations to you & Philip on your engagement! You appear to be a well-suited couple! May you have a long and deliriously happy life together!! Every time I see you with your little pet it reminds me that you did NOT want a dog! 🤗💐❤️🙏🇨🇦 Maryann 😂😂
Thank you so much for all the work with the subtitling. I've long had aspirations of learning French, even though my brain doesn't always cooperate, but I've been slowly plodding through various lessons. I love love love getting to hear the spoken French with the subtitles so I can try and pick up words and phrases I know as well as learn more, plus pronunciation and cadence and all that wonderful stuff. (Not to mention that as a historical preservationist myself, I find ALL the chapel work absolutely fascinating.) Je l'aime! Merci beaucoup!
Thank you so much for the effort you put into subtitling. I don’t speak a word of French, but I love the sound of it. I can listen to the French while reading the English. The lessons we get from the chapel workers are so interesting!
How amazing was that underground infloor heating system? It is simply wonderful that a piece of ancient engineering exists on your property! Love the pillows, and the simple parsley sandwiches! Lancelot us a darling! Cheers to you all from Canada 🇨🇦🫶🐾
The Lancelot pillow is perfect!! He deserves the center of attention! The chapel restoration is so fascinating! I'm sure it's nice to have a quieter day every now and then. As an introvert I would need that pretty often.
The gentlemen in the chapel are gems!!
Undoubtedly very good at their job. And they both can explain what and why they are doing.
AND don't mind being in the video!

Wendy's pillow turned out very regal indeed, with Lancelot wearing the Robe Royal and the Chapel in the background! Bravo!!!
Thanks to the restorers for taking time out from their work to explain so much of their process on camera and share some personal stories. Really quite fascinating.
Stephanie, you have a wonderful sense of humor. What you said to the man about being barefoot in the chapel for the walls was hilarious and unexpected.

I agree, thank you for the subtitles 😊
Benoit is such a wealth of knowledge, I think Elton realises how much he can learn from him.
The chapel restorers are doing an incredible job!
Lancelot enjoying his cuddles, so sweet.
I think Lancelot needs to wear a sweater/jumper in that cold environment, Philip is wearing Two😢!
Omigosh the inclusion of subtitles is EXTREEEEMELY appreciated!!!! 🙏😁😁🥰❤️

Thank you so much for the translations you give us when you talk with the contractors! As you say, it is fascinating and I hate to miss anything!
Thank you for your regular vlogs. Its truelly a sparkle in my day. 💝💝🇿🇦
I agree! 🥰
Lancelot’s pillow is precious as can be. Loving the chapel updates.
Excellent editing Stephanie. Love your busy days and your quiet days! It’s your everyday life at La Lande that attracted sooooo many fans.
Thanks again for including us on your adventure.❤
Really enjoyed the subtitles - great to know exactly what the guys were saying. My French is rusty now!
If you can't use the venting system, please think of putting glass over it (like the glass they used for the walkout at The Grand Canyon in Arizona) so it may be enjoyed by all!
that cushion is hilarious!!!! i love it
The chapel repairers are all amazing. It will be so exciting when it’s all finished. The original heating system is fascinating.
Thanks for doing all the subtitles, I do enjoy your conversations with the artisan restorers.
That pillow of Lancelot is the cutest gift idea ever.
Lancelot on the cushion made me laugh so much. Wendy is very gifted. It really is such an amazing likeness. Now all he needs is his Medieval costume! ❤ Thank you for the update and extra chapel info. Much appreciated.

Lancelot needs a sweater/jumper since Philip is wearing Two 😂
I am fascinated with the chapel restoration...thank you for the sub titles.

Big fan of Benoit and Elton. Thank you, Stephanie, for the time and effort on the captions.

I love the chapel section. I have learned so much, which I would never see otherwise and thanks for the English version.
I let out a hearty laugh when Philip revealed Lancelot's pillow....!!!😆
Thank you for the subtitles, I find the conversations with the craftsmen to be so entertaining and interesting.
The history of the Chateau and the Chapel is so amazing not to mention all the wonderful decorating and food ideas. A demain
Has there been a book written about both?
Lancelots cushion is the BEST! ❤
How fascinating, that the chapel has an ancient Roman-style heating system in it - and one like Notre Dame! I love that you have such respect for the historical aspects of this property. And I love the cushions!
The family in throw pillows ! Love this !
Adorable couple ! No, triple , Lancelot !
I so look forward to your videos ~ you and Phillip and Family always make me smile and giggle.. you are just what the doctor ordered🍀💚🌷🙏🏼
Today's Kitchen portion reminded me of the old sitcom "Three's Company"....🤣
Love the cushions by the way. Wendy is so clever 💕

Thank you for the subtitles - the Chapel restoration is riveting
I continue to be blown away by the chapel restorers. They are true masters at their craft. It’s a pleasure to watch the transformation. ❤️
Thank you for translating the chapel restorers conversation. It truly is fascinating what they do and what they have seen and learned from it.
Stephanie, your voice talking about the chapel heating system and converting it to ventilation… you sounded like a documentary narrator! I mean that in a good way too!
The developments in the chapel are absolutely fascinating ❤
Is there any way that you could keep the hypocaust chamber exposed so that it may be seen -maybe a toughened glass cover, similar to those used in museums. A discreet solar light to light it up from inside would look amazing. What a treasure you have!

I love the chapel visits with the artists. The art and cushion is a gorgeous addition.
Thank you for the subtitles! Heating the ground under the chapel was a lot of work back then. I have so enjoyed you sharing the restoration.
🙋🏼♀️🕊. The translation is appreciated. Thank you 🥀 All the best to you and yours. Blessings 🕊💞🕊💞🕊💞🍀

Ooh Wendy the cushion is gorgeous 😍🥰, can't wait to see pasta cooked
Elton seems like a true craftsman. Nice to see men who approach their work as somethinfg for the ages.
Loved the pillow of Lancelot. King of the castle! What a giggle. Congratulations to the engagement.

What a great fascinating, knowledgeable and professional pair of gentlemen. It would appear you have exactly the right people working in the chapel.
Personally love subtitles as I love listening to the actual spoken language, it's beautiful. And just love the chapel. Thank you❤
I always need to use subtitles as i watch in bed whilst my hubster is asleep
I’m still catching up on all your videos.. I saw Lancelot and cried for him..
How amazing was that underground infloor heating system? It is simply wonderful that a piece of ancient engineering exists on your property! Love the pillows, and the simple parsley sandwiches! Lancelot us a darling! Cheers to you all from Canada 🇨🇦🫶🐾
I love LaLande and all the lovely people and animals who live , work and visit. Thank you Stephanie.
The Lancelot pillow is perfect!! He deserves the center of attention! The chapel restoration is so fascinating! I'm sure it's nice to have a quieter day every now and then. As an introvert I would need that pretty often.
It’s such a joy watching miss Marie preparing up dinner you did a very good job with the ravioli 👏
You should make a feature of the heating system put a clear top over it so you could still see inside 😊
Hasn't the chateau been so lucky in the wonderful guys working on the chapel.. they have been and still are totally incredible...
Did really appreciate the subtitles..a restoration guy who uses his feet!💖
