Hi Vivian. Just watched this video. We were the family of 6 in the background while you were filming at Chateau Lalande. We follow your channel and Lalande religiously. We are from Mississipi and were spending our Thanksgiving holiday in France and drove to see LaLande in person. I saw you and Simon filming and told my wife that it was you. She did not think I was correct. She is smiling and laughing excitedly after watching your post tonight. Thank you so much!!
@@carolwest6095 No. It was a couple of days before Thanksgiving. We bought a star and hoped we could see inside but they were keeping it closed until the public viewing. We did get to meet Percy, Isabelle and Galahad. They were extremely nice and gracious.
@@barbaragrace1992 Actually Natalia and I had been emailing prior to our trip to France and she said it would be fine to come by and walk around. She met us at the parking area and then Percy and Isabelle came out too. They made us feel very welcome!
Hi Mark!!! I’ve just seen your lovely comment and also realised that you must be the Mark who just bought the beautiful Marie Antoinette hand painted brooch that I’m mailing today! (I hope I don’t spoil the surprise for anyone 😉). I do wish you had stopped and said “hello”! We don’t expect everyone at Lalande to know who we are, but we’re so delighted to meet people when we are there. There are often workers or chapel-restorers floating about, so one never knows who’s who! I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving in France. Mississippi is dear to my heart I spent my early years in nearby Memphis. Sending you and your family big hugs. I do hope we can meet next time!!! xxx 🏰💖🏰💖
Every time you vloggers bring us to the grocery store, it absolutely underscores the food desert we suffer in rural U.S. If anyone here is not in a major metropolitan area (I include your entire state of Florida as a major metropolitan area), the grocery stores suck. I have to drive 2 hours in one direction to Memphis, or 2 hours to Birmingham or 4 hours to Jackson, MS to find a store with produce that beautiful. So, I did the next best thing and opened a mail-order jar of French chestnuts (and ate the whole jar) whilst watching you prepare that glorious Thanksgiving dinner a continent away. Cheers to all of you! Recipes would be appreciated if you get round to it. Your cherry spin on the cranberry sauce looked really good.
I have to agree with you, the grocery stores here in Saskatchewan are awful. The cheeses are what I covet most. So much of what we buy has to be returned the next day when it is supposed to last for a week. The joys of living in North America.
I moved to Lyon France arrived on the 29 of October 1991 and moved back to the U.S February 1999. Entertain my first Thanksgiving November 1991 for 4 people to thank them for helping me that first month. By the time I left the last Thanksgiving I had 32 people. Had to order the Dinde at the hall 1 month in advance. Ended up having about 12 exchange students from the colleges. Your bean casserole looked fabulous. 8eme Decembre my favorite day 8n Lyon the Feast of Lumiere! Let the holiday season begin!
Hi Vivienne, Your lovely personality always shines through on your vlogs!! You seem like such a giving, gracious lady!! I loved watching you and Marie prepare the American Thanksgiving dinner. Elizabeth in Texas
I do not write often on your channel, but I want to thank you for taking us along with you on your two special visits. To Patrick and Stuart, who I have followed since they began their journey. And the La Lande family I think is everyone's favourite, I am smitten with their chapel. Thank you for sharing your friends and your visits with me. Watching each chateau being renovated, and being enjoyed by everyone, fills me with joy. I began watching 'Doing it ourselves' and have slowly added more channels. Often staying up very late, or should that be early, as it is often three or four in the morning by the time I catch up with everyone and get to sleep. Good night and thank you again. Ronnie in Saskatchewan
I just love your vlogs because you and your family and friends seem so lovely and nice. I hope that you and Manor and Maker get a lot more subscribers, you are worth it! Hugs from Sweden 🤗.
Love you all ❤️ Everything you do is classic & elegant. Your meal looked fabulous. Looks like you are quite the chef & baker. Love your blogs! Your Sister has quite the voice. Thankful for you two.❤️🎁💁🏻♀️
Beautiful Thanksgiving and hats off to you and Marie for all your extensive cooking! It all looked divine! Great that you could get that last roll of wallpaper back to Lalande ....what a treasure!!! The lampshades are darling! I'm going to steal this idea! Go home and rest! Cheers!
Vivienne and Simon, you feel like family to me, too! I quite enjoyed your Thanksgiving visit to Lalande to add a bit of authentic Americana to the festive diner. ❤
It is such a joy watching such a delightful and caring family. You all exude what all humanity should try to be. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I so love when all the Chatelaines come together, it is always a treat!! ❤
Vivian, You Did A Wonderful Job Cooking those "American" classic dishes for Thanksgiving!!! So enjoyed watching Stephanie's version and now your version!!! Filled in all the spaces missed on her taping. You did a lovely job on cooking and also were so generous in your labor of love, in gift giving and sharing your talents! Bless you! Happy Christmas!!!
Vivian you are a treasure! I have been watching you along the way on your channel and Stephanie's and I have to be honest I had to see who you really were after a time and I am very happy to say you are a gem! I look forward to both of your sites, thank you for who you are.
Your Thanksgiving dinner looks absolutely delicious! I’m especially intrigued by the green bean casserole! I grew up with that side dish and have had really bad green bean casserole and I have learned it turns out so much better when I use frozen French cut beans instead of canned. It makes a big difference. Yours looks so good! How lucky you are to be friends with Stephanie and all of the wonderful people and pets at la Lande!
Cooking for loved ones is always a pleasure, especially at a time like this when gratitude is at the core of the reason to get together. That looked amazing Vivienne!
I appreciate the memorable Thanksgiving meal prepared by you at LaLande! I live in Pennsylvania and happy to see your elevated Stringbean casserole we used to have here in USA.❤😊
Vivian another wonderful vlog! You are so gracious and it shines through in all of your artistic endeavors, of which there are many. Your Chateau is so pretty As are hou!
Really, really lovely food prepared and those were beautiful gifts you selected for Chateau de Lalande owners. A truly lovely Thanksgiving celebration!
Wow Vivian and Marie you guy's did a wonderful job on the food and it was great seeing all the chateau friends together having good food and a wonderful time together happy holidays everyone 🎄❄️🎄💕🤗🌼
You are the most thoughtful person Vivienne...what you bring to family and friends is remarkable.! Wonderful vlog as always! Those lampshades are indeed special.. look forward to seeing them in their new home!❤
Ahahahaha needs must: the mini Nutella ❤ Mmmm will have to try your cranberry chutney 😋 It's ironic to me that the French don't understand the sweet/tart taste; LOVE marshmallow sweet potato. Gorgeous ❤ Cheers!!! Turkduckin' 😋Thankful for Château Love 😉😘
Definitely a work of love by you and Marie!❤. Gosh- it looked like such fun, but I know it took a lot of time, prep and work. Thanksgiving is my favorite ! What a terrific job you and Marie did to make it so special -and so American. I’m grateful I discovered your wonderful vlogs, Vivienne! Always fun and informative- brings a smile to my face! Btw- “Stuffing” is the mixture you put INTO the turkey/bird to roast… And and it is called “ dressing” if you bake it outside of the bird! Hope that helps. Your stuffing looked delicious! Can’t wait to try your cranberry sauce! Thanks!😅 How in the heck did you get that duck to fit inside the turkey??!! ( it was stuffing!❤😂

Ooooo! Cheesecake with ginger biscuit crust sounds dangerous. A very Chateau-esq holiday celebration with plenty of flare mixed with tradition. Now, on to Christmas, Vivian style. ❤ 🎄
I love this video so much! My family and I are in the United States right now. We'll be moving to France, into our 16th century. Maison de maitre, full time next June. Thank you for showing me that Thanksgiving is possible in France 🙂 It is nice to keep some traditions. We'll definitely need to build up a community around us. If you need an American to help you next year, just give me a call 😊. I'll be right there!
Vivienne! You are a real trooper in the kitchen! ❤ I don’t know how you managed to prepare so many wonderful dishes and still look so beautiful at dinner! 👌
What an amazing meal! Fantastic achievement. I really appreciated the recipes for the cranberry sauce and the bean casserole, plus your helpful history of the dish!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday Thanksgiving with us from Lalande. It's so refreshing to see Philip's personality come out. Love him & Steph as a team, but the darlings are over the top in her videos. Merry Christmas, from the states.
my mother's stuffing always had raisins in her stuffing ... i am not sure where that traditional way of making stuffing came from. otherwise i had not known of fruit in stuffing or nuts.
Vivienne, that was the best coverage of the Châtelains' weekend yet. The editing was so professionally done. Kudos! Everything looked amazing. I don't recognize the wallpaper. Was it made by a famous maker? Which Lalande bedroom is it for? What a kind gesture. Bake or no bake, I find cheesecake best in small portions. Just a taste with a really good coffee is all I need. My sister makes a pumpkin version that everyone raves about, but I can only take two or three bites of it. Yet others eat copious portions without slowing. OMG! Your earrings are very pretty. The yellow sapphire is nice, too. They're relatively hard stones, and as pretty as yellow diamonds but without the enormous price tag. Winning! Congratulations on the artwork. You do great work. 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄 Christmas cheer to you all! 🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄🎁🎄 ❤️from TX!
Vivien, you are such an angelic soul. So generous, kind, loving and shining light. It was so good to enjoy your Thanksgiving. Here in New Zealand, of course, it's not celebrated, but I have been to an American friend's place here where she had made that sweet potato and marshmallow casserole. A monstrosity as you humourously called it. 😆Once was enough for me! 🤭 Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏼 Love, Jacqueline from NZ 💝
I really like the candy sweet potatoes or yams and the green bean casserole. I don't put all the crazy stuff in my dressing or stuffing.. I boil the turkey gizzard, the turkey neck and turkey heart for 2 hours then put the turkey liver in the water for about 30 min. dried out bread crumbs celery. sage, onions diced and use the water I boiled the turkey inners in and cut up the inners and put them in it,. But to each his own. Pumpkin pie from scratch. Love it when you cook I can all most smell it and my mouth waters.
Vivienne is a rare gem of a woman 💖💎💖 She lifts every single person who crosses her path in life ~ She makes them feel special & appreciated. She is an Earth Angel ❤👸🏻❤
Vivienne, it is so good to see an American cooking from scratch using fresh and varied ingredients, Too many videos/vlogs show American's 'cooking' but only using boxed/processed foods, all served up on paper plates. Your green bean casserole is the first one I've seen that would tempt me to try, although I'd still have to pass on the marshmallows on sweet potatoes. Perhaps you need to start a cooking channel. 🙂
That was wonderful...we live in fla..winter park was beautiful in first half of 70s..near rollins..until15 of age....the sweet potatoes..the green been casseroles..she made those every holiday meal..before pass etc......although your explanation of it being americanized trdition..makes beautiful sense...then you ladies have really cool talents with the cranberry deluxe...and stuffing...great teamwork in the kitchen!
Wow, Vivienne, how much work you did (and Marie & Phillip, too)! And everything was done so Perfectly! Fantastic job! Looked like a delicious & wonderful time. I love everything on your website, especially the jewelry. ♥
Oh Vivienne, I love your cranberry sauce, it looks rich and delicious. I often make a blueberry one for my cheesecake 'cause it's everyone's favorite 😋
HI VIVIENE , just loved this video You are so charming and thoughtful always giving of your time and yourself to others.God Bless you and your family and sending you a MERRY XMAS from Scotland. and for NEW YEAR , LANG MAY YOUR LUMB REEK..
Hello to you all ! Happy to see you have a good time and Thanksgiving with all your friends ! The food looks amazing and so good, I understand why it is hard to leave with all that positive vibes…Have a good week ❤
What a lovely, festive, joyful video, Vivienne! You & Marie did a marvelous job of heading up the food forest of Thanksgiving yummy, traditional dishes @ Lalande. Philip, your Cheesecake was gorgeous! The Raspberry color was absolutely beautiful! Well done, everyone involved! Happy Holidays to you, Simon, Isabella, Baudelaire & Jack!! Blessings too!! 🇺🇸
Mari and Vivian, it may help when shopping onions to wear glasses, with big lenses. It certainly will not completely help keep your eyes from stinging, but it does help a lot.
I noticed at the beginning when you were filming in front of the fountain that there were people wandering around taking photos. I wondered if people just turn up and come into the grounds uninvited.?
What a beautiful rendition of the US Thanksgiving in France! You certainly encapsulated the spirit & the quintessential American Thanksgiving dishes. Félicitations!!🎉❤

Green Bean casserole with Campbell's Soup and fried onions is correct. Yummy

Just a little side note, the object you were hitting the bread crumbs with is a meat tenderizer, it work great on any meat
Both Cheesecakes are wonderful!
That was a real big chatelaine de jour, chatelaine de nuit situation!
I just love your vlogs because you and your family and friends seem so lovely and nice. I hope that you and Manor and Maker get a lot more subscribers, you are worth it! Hugs from Sweden 🤗.

This was so much fun! Thanks for bringing us along.
Much love from the Midwest US 💖
It looked like so much fun! I'm also in the midwest. Glad to know we can recreate Thanksgiving in France 🙂. I'll be doing this next year!!

Love your videos, love you all. My little 5 yr old granddaughter said she was thankful for life ! I agree ! 💗
Yes, she’s right! We should all be thankful for such a gift. Give her a big hug from us. 🥰🏰💖
Vivianne, congratulations on the new poster, it's gorgeous 😊
Vivian you rocked it, with Marie.
Really, really lovely food prepared and those were beautiful gifts you selected for Chateau de Lalande owners. A truly lovely Thanksgiving celebration!
Looks like a wonderful gathering!
🙏❤ Happy Holidays!
I love the way you all use the nice dinnerware! I wish Americans did more of this!
Delightful!
I just adore your style. So beautiful ❤
Hiya, oh what a wonderful feast indeed. Blessings to you and yours southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝
You have outdone yourself!! Wonderful food-I could smell the dressing and the turkey! Your greenbean casserole looked amazing !!
I'm thankful for you, Vivienne &.Chateau Love, such a great channel! And you are truly one of the most delightful human beings on the planet.
What a sweet thing to say! Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰🏰💖🥰💖
Everything you cooked look so amazing and the desserts and Phillip’s creation, was gorgeous. No shortage of wonderful food.
Love watching you two and your wonderful adventures.
Your giggle makes me smile! Happy Holidays!
Thank you! And happy holidays to you, too! 🥰🏰💖
Vivian you’re lovely and clearly an amazing cook. If you rinse and keep onions in water before cutting, you’ll avoid tears, cheers from California US
Thoughtful gifts and incredible food selection! Truly a magical few days. Onward to Christmas.❤
Fabulous cooking Vivian!
Wow Vivian and Marie you guy's did a wonderful job on the food and it was great seeing all the chateau friends together having good food and a wonderful time together happy holidays everyone 🎄❄️🎄💕🤗🌼
You are the most thoughtful person
Vivienne...what you bring to family and friends is remarkable.! Wonderful vlog as always! Those lampshades are indeed special.. look forward to seeing them in their new home!❤
Ahahahaha needs must: the mini Nutella ❤ Mmmm will have to try your cranberry chutney 😋 It's ironic to me that the French don't understand the sweet/tart taste; LOVE marshmallow sweet potato. Gorgeous ❤ Cheers!!! Turkduckin' 😋Thankful for Château Love 😉😘
Definitely a work of love by you and Marie!❤. Gosh- it looked like such fun, but I know it took a lot of time, prep and work. Thanksgiving is my favorite ! What a terrific job you and Marie did to make it so special -and so American.
I’m grateful I discovered your wonderful vlogs, Vivienne! Always fun and informative- brings a smile to my face!
Btw- “Stuffing” is the mixture you put INTO the turkey/bird to roast… And and it is called
“ dressing” if you bake it outside of the bird! Hope that helps. Your stuffing looked delicious!
Can’t wait to try your cranberry sauce! Thanks!😅
How in the heck did you get that duck to fit inside the turkey??!! ( it was stuffing!❤😂
I like to add shredded Colby cheese to the green bean casserole and crisp some French’s onions on the top.
What a feast😲😋

for you .😊 love from Texas🇺🇲
Love it! Merry Christmas season Vivienne & Simon!!!!!
Ooooo! Cheesecake with ginger biscuit crust sounds dangerous. A very Chateau-esq holiday celebration with plenty of flare mixed with tradition. Now, on to Christmas, Vivian style. ❤ 🎄
American here. No bake cheesecake is good and easy! Baked cheesecake is delicious and not easy or quick! It just depends on what you are looking for?
I love this video so much! My family and I are in the United States right now. We'll be moving to France, into our 16th century. Maison de maitre, full time next June.
Thank you for showing me that Thanksgiving is possible in France 🙂 It is nice to keep some traditions.
We'll definitely need to build up a community around us. If you need an American to help you next year, just give me a call 😊. I'll be right there!
❤ WONDERFUL ❤
You had me at Ginger cookies vs Graham Crackers! 🤮which in my head have to taste like horse feed! Well done!
Vivienne! You are a real trooper in the kitchen! ❤ I don’t know how you managed to prepare so many wonderful dishes and still look so beautiful at dinner! 👌
I love the Jello brand no cook cheesecake with cherry topping. It's light, fluffy and not too sweet.
Cream cheese pie. Used to love that as a child. Would still be loving it if it weren't for food allergy.
No bake cheesecake in the US is over processed if it's from a box. Cool whip is over processed too. Try to avoid it.
Everything looks delicious! ❤
Vivienne, next time in New Orleans, have dinner at CLANCY'S and have the Icebox cake. It's truly amazing. So is the restaurant and food.
Just FYI- Traditional cool whip is not vegan because it contains skim milk and sodium caseinate, a milk protein.
What an amazing meal! Fantastic achievement. I really appreciated the recipes for the cranberry sauce and the bean casserole, plus your helpful history of the dish!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday Thanksgiving with us from Lalande. It's so refreshing to see Philip's personality come out. Love him & Steph as a team, but the darlings are over the top in her videos. Merry Christmas, from the states.
Simon, I really enjoyed "Cheese of the Week"...hope to see it again in future!
Somehow I missed this everything is just fabulous💕
Loved your video it was a beautiful recording of your family and friends! Love you Vivienne you’re awesome! ❤💯🥰
my mother's stuffing always had raisins in her stuffing ... i am not sure where that traditional way of making stuffing came from. otherwise i had not known of fruit in stuffing or nuts.
A little late but wishing you all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Vivianne, you are a lovely lady Simon is a very lucky man
Vivienne, that was the best coverage of the Châtelains' weekend yet. The editing was so professionally done. Kudos!
Everything looked amazing.
I don't recognize the wallpaper. Was it made by a famous maker? Which Lalande bedroom is it for? What a kind gesture.

Sweet potatoes with marshmallows - you are missing out! So yummy!
@@karenallen7064 Sets my teeth on edge just thinking about them. A nob of butter and lashings of black pepper would be my choice.
What a terrible stereotype of American cooking. Sad for you.
@@TizzyLisch Don't feel sad for me. Feel sad for those that have to eat the endless boxed and processed food that I've, all too often, seen produced.
I like to add roasted red pepper and slivered almonds in my green bean casserole.
That sounds so delicious! I’ll try that next time. 🏰💖
I love the parfait glasses you and Marie were using. I had them in the 70's for my desserts.
That was wonderful...we live in fla..winter park was beautiful in first half of 70s..near rollins..until15 of age....the sweet potatoes..the green been casseroles..she made those every holiday meal..before pass etc......although your explanation of it being americanized trdition..makes beautiful sense...then you ladies have really cool talents with the cranberry deluxe...and stuffing...great teamwork in the kitchen!

Hello to you all ! Happy to see you have a good time and Thanksgiving with all your friends ! The food looks amazing and so good, I understand why it is hard to leave with all that positive vibes…Have a good week ❤
What a lovely, festive, joyful video, Vivienne! You & Marie did a marvelous job of heading up the food forest of Thanksgiving yummy, traditional dishes @ Lalande. Philip, your Cheesecake was gorgeous! The Raspberry color was absolutely beautiful! Well done, everyone involved! Happy Holidays to you, Simon, Isabella, Baudelaire & Jack!! Blessings too!! 🇺🇸
Mari and Vivian, it may help when shopping onions to wear glasses, with big lenses. It certainly will not completely help keep your eyes from stinging, but it does help a lot.
I noticed at the beginning when you were filming in front of the fountain that there were people wandering around taking photos. I wondered if people just turn up and come into the grounds uninvited.?
Lovely vlog Vivienne . I bought mini marshmallows in Aldi in France recently x
What a beautiful rendition of the US Thanksgiving in France! You certainly encapsulated the spirit & the quintessential American Thanksgiving dishes. Félicitations!!🎉❤
I have major grocery store envy. Happy Thanksgiving Vivienne!
This was absolutely wonderful! I'm Canadian, but I always admired the American Thanksgiving and all the work you do to make it special.
