The Chateau Diaries Episode 179 ✨🏰✨
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️
We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life!

Instead of watching murder and mayhem, more and more people like me are opting to see decent, attractive people like you and Dan and your household create an atmosphere of peace, harmony and beauty. So soothing and so nice to see people who really like each other have fun and create and complete new projects. I love it.
I totally agree, it's so good to enjoy happy and easy going genuine people, having a lovely time. Such therapy, and we can forget all about our troubles in this mad time. WCL
Amen!
DITTO....
Absolutely 😄
Yes -- I could never understand who would want to watch the Kardashians or those mean Island programs where the bachelor kicks out or picks some beauty -- yes I have seen a couple but WHY STAY WITH that?-- reality shows that display the mean consumer side of life. This vlog reminds me of the positive things I want in my own life! I was telling a friend of mine about it and she said, bored, "Oh I've seen THOSE -- meaning those Chateau diy programs that gives you only a superficial view of Stephanie, Michael, et al. I find that I'm very protective of this vlog and am so pleased when one of my friends starts following also.
Selmar the man for all seasons and all occasions.
Selmar packs a whole lot of fabulous clothing into that camper van.
8:40 😂 I really enjoy watching Dan engage so well with the camera these days, and also on his own channel. I remember when he first came to Lalande and seemed so shy and quiet. What a boon he is. It’s a delight to watch him work his magic.
oh didn't know he has his own channel! I'm happy to know this!!
@@catherinecox52 ruclips.net/video/5jj5Snoo1As/видео.html
Thank you for showing my stickers! It’s been so amazing watching your videos and I’m so pleased you enjoyed them ☺️☺️
@@imaloose I did 😊 they all start out as watercolour illustrations
@@imaloose Thank you so much!
Beautiful! You are very talented🥰
It is amazing how Selma has suits and outfits for every occasion!! The party was fun!
Yes! His campervan must be a Tardis!
Or Hermione Granger's purse with expandable inside space.. 😂
Selmar is my favorite Lalander...random decisions to have a Disco Party...too awesome with the Stayin Alive Suit
I love Philip's puns!
Approaching 100K subscribers!!!
Yeah, Selmar! Nobody rocks a white suit quite like him! Of course he looks smashing when he dances regardless of what he is wearing. We didn’t get to see it, but hope Stephanie got a dance or two in with him as she looked stunningly gorgeous in her “Lady in Red” dress!
Selmar is one cool dude. Would love to see more of the disco.
Isabel is just glowing with happiness!
Love watching Stephanies vlogs and Dan has one too “ Escape to Rural France” he’s amazingly talented and such a hard worker. I thoroughly recommend his vlog, his beautiful wife Annelise is such a wonderful support to him and their boys are adorable.
Thank you! I just looked it up & here’s a link!

That double sided sofa is spectacular!!! As well as Marie’s floral genius and Dan’s garden magic.
I'd be raking all the gravel away from where the digger will be going through the driveway so you can rake back over when the area is refilled.
Selmar is having the time of his life at lalande and its wonderful to see , brilliant you all look beautiful xx
I think the fountain area is getting very busy, and all those plantings will take away from its pure elegance in
@@janetcorey5102 Sandra Westley I don’t think so, the tiny hedge will be trimmed low and they have beautiful lavender in the middle just like all stately Homes in Uk.
Wow you looked stunning in that red dress Stephanie, and Selmar, OO, LA LA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your disco outfits are on point!!!
Kat can dance!!! Dance dance 🎶 get It Kat!!! 💃💃🕺💃🕺🕺💃💃
Kat looks like a Kitten to me. : )
This programne is keeping me sane. Lol.
Oh Barbara, i could not agree more! I had such an exhausting day at work and this show quite literally stops me from having to cry
I totally feel the same! What a pleasure to watch. Escape from the reality of the sometimes nasty world out there!
Me too...keeps me smiling !
Best Program Ever! Love it!
Me, too! I totally relate.
Isabelle’s nails look beautiful! Such a classy lady.
I thought the same thing! She’s so Cute!
Ah I miss Mrs Isabelle 😞... but im very happy knowing she is with happy in South Africa with her husband again! I can only imagine what the have gone through 😓
@Z Z 😂👍
I don't know if Marie or Stephanie read these comments but...keep those garden mums for Christmas greenery pots! I work at a garden center and I use those garden mums for our outdoor Christmas pots. We cut all the dead foliage back and use the soil and roots in the pots to shove/stick fresh greens in and make beautiful porch pots arrangements with curly willow or red dogwood branches.
I absolutely adore all things cold weather but this video has made me SO excited for the warmer weather that will bring all these beautiful flowers!
“Stay stay stay stay stayin’ alive” That’s what all of you amazing people at LaLande have helped us do emotionally for the past nine months.
Just went on the Patreon rankings page and Stephanie is in the top 200 worldwide. Awesome!
Zan how do you do that please?
How’s Michaels patronage doing?? 😊
I have a feeling she will surpass that soon
Considering the lower number of subscribers compared to the others.
Lalande is doing brilliantly.
@@kristineprice2722 go to patreon via the link on stephanis description page.
That was mummy’s idea! He is such a sweetie... and alllllllll his hard work I can understand how he feels 😞Selmar makes ur life fun 🤩
Wow! Kat really went for it with her handkerchief halter and Selmar literally has an outfit for every occasion. How does he fit it all in his camper (one will never know)?!!?!!
It’s a Tardis!
He just has the most important outfits needed for Lalande😉🥰
Dancing is so good for the soul. Love the way you guys are always willing to throw a party and bust some moves!1
Dan is such a dedicated worker. How lucky you are. And Ian also . Great thing to see. Miss your mummy!
Such a fun time with all of you, from garden and flowers, to kitchen and Armagnac cake and ending with a dress up party. Happiness all the way round! 💋
That frame is so perfect for the hedgehog sticker! I love it!!
Since someone is digging the courtyard and putting electricity cables, could you extend them somehow so that you could put some french lamp posts? To have the chateau beautifully illuminated on regular, non colourful days too? Poor Dutch D'Artanian is scared to take out the garbage when it's pitch dark. [ It would look glorious, too!]
Ob yez!!!
Greenagr... I bought our French village lights that had been discarded for the new LED we have 2 and our neighbour bought 3.. I love that we’ve a bit of old history in our garden, the locals think we’re nuts 😱lol
@@kristineprice2722 That was a smart move! And they must look lovely! ♥️
That would be a bit out of place
@@jourdainjardin846 Michael has them in his chateau as well and they don’t look out of place. They look beautiful! 🤔
My mother’s flowers rarely come up the actual color she plants or even the actual plant that she plants. Things are always mysteriously moving around. I blame gnomes.
Definitive gnomes, pineconequeen
Lol... well LaLande is pretty magical! Gnomes sound logical to me.
I am putting my $ on the hedgehogs.... the little rascals!
@@annbardue3473 Not familiar with the rascally nature of hedgehogs, so I will trust you on that. Sounds cute anyway...
🤔You just made me think of the darling hedgehog sticker that Philip showed us in the marvelous frame. Can't wait to see it finished & hung in Stephanie's boudoir. ☮💛🌼
@@annbardue3473 I do hope they're safe and sound asleep, way too cold for them now. I think gnomes are shape-shifters, could be they use a hedgehog form XD
Loved the sight and sounds of the cranes flying overhead. They winter over here in huge amounts along with the geese. I love to sit out on my porch and watch them.
The hedgehog (Humphry) in the frame is perfect! Excellent choices all around!
Lovely seeing Isabella. Miss her at the Chateau she was an inspiration for all the elderly folk who watch The Chateau video's. Hope she, Percy and Scotty will have a wonderful peaceful Christmas and be able to be at the Chateau next year.
Stephanie spreads happiness and delight in everything she does.
She and her team work wonders, bringing The Chateau back to life.
How lucky we are to be able to share moments with them all.
Outstanding idea for the disco party. I forget how wild and joyful all the wild dance music was. It was fun to watch all the wonderful letting-go and dancing.
The fountain would look nice if you used a black water dye for ponds , would look fab with beautiful colour water lilies. And what great fun that party was ,,,,,,, why could we not watch more ......... 🤗👈
What do you do while the world is going mad? You DANCE!!!love love love 💕 it!!!!
The beautiful jacarandas are lining the Adelaide streets with purple flowers right now, a wonderful sight.
Oooh la la Stephanie! 100,000 subs are a-knockin on your door!?! 🦚🦔🦦
Selmar in his white Travolta dancing suite, excellent.........And the dancing girls, best night ever. Thanks!!
It's such a comfort seeing Isabelle with Percy, knowing they're together all cozy. I miss her at the chateau of course but it makes me happy seeing her little updates.
Wow! Disco Nati looks like Wonder Woman!
🦆 Disco, disco duck 🦆
Selmar was on top of his game. Fun movie night & dance party theme idea! Both he & Philip definitely looked like they had a Saturday Night Fever!
💥If you don't have mirrored balls, sparkly gold balls are equally flashy! LaLande's ⚡newest volunteer⚡ looked gorgeous in her matching glittery gold mini dress!
💖Loved Stephani, Nati, Marie and Kat in their ☄bright & bold☄ jewel toned ensembles.
🌟Everything looked & sounded perfect for a 70s nightclub scene. 👀Looks like another 💫good💫 time was had by all! 🥂 Cheers 🥂
Isabelle, I had (he passed on) a friend that drilled a hole in the center of one half of the Jacaranda pod, and glued a marble in each hole. Obviously the hole was the same diameter as the marble, and he tied strings to them and hung them in an outside tree. They spun and glistened in the sun. It was quite beautiful.
Selmar is so practical
Those are cranes flying over the garden. You can tell by their voices.
In French grue
Love your hedgehog sticker art - and Selmar look's fantastic in his white suit. But, Stephanie, we needed to see YOU dance!!
Lovely to see Mummy. She is looking great.
Oh my gosh Isabella had her nails done!!!💅
I noticed that too!😉
Kat and Selmar dancing is everything!
Love what Dan has accomplished. He is truly & hopefully a permanent a part of the LaLande family.
Isn't dan doing a great job😃mari is so gifted i can't wait to see the area set up for Thanksgiving, its going to look amazing🥰Isabell looks fabulous, 🥰🥰
Yes, Dan is doing great & is ever the busy beaver.
🦃Thanksgiving in the stables actually sounds lovely. Marie's wreath & flowers were lovely as usual. Can't wait to see her arrangements for the 🍁holiday🍁table.
Will be interesting to learn what they will serve for their French/British/Dutch version of this meal.
It will be tricky having a vegan as well as someone with allergies. Not the former, but I have swapped out these ingredients for good results in baking:
1:1 Coconut oil for butter & shortening (when soft).
1:3/4 less coconut oil (when it is in liquid form).
+ 1-2 tbs water*. There is a lower moisture content in coconut oil vs butter. To avoid dryness, add a touch of liquid to batter or dough.
1:1 Swapped out cold brew coffee or tea* (pick a flavor that suits recipe) for milk.
🥚Aquefaba for eggs.
😉Hopefully, they will serve some cheesy, buttery (garlic?)
🥔 mashed potatoes & dressing (vs stuffing😝). ☮💛🌼
You guys are inspiration! I miss disco, then ‘clubbing’. Only takes a few good friends, some music (and a bit of atmosphere) to party.
Nati looked like wonder woman with that headband
During the disco age we wore A-Line skirts & dresses so they would flare out while dancing. We simply couldn't dance in straight and pencil dresses.
Ok the hedgehog sticker in that frame is freaking adorable. Well spotted Phillip.
You should plant perennial Hellebore (Lenten Rose) in your beds. The foliage is beautiful. Equal to the flowers.
What a lovely potpourri of activities and news today! Topped off by Selmar’s white disco suit! This old San Francisco disco queen is swooning with nostalgia ❤️
Yes, it makes me long for the 70 's and early 80's even. Ob my
Kat dances like me!! Its the curly haired girls dance and It is magnificent!! what I wouldnt do to be able to dance at a party with Kat one day!! big dreams and much love!!
I heard that Dan is a professional chef. You should do a video of him cooking haut couture French food.
Stephanie would love to have him 👨🍳cook @ ⚜LaLande. She's definitely expressed interest in his culinary skills. Maybe something will happen one day.
Meanwhile, there is lots to keep him busy in the🌾gardens🌱, esp. now that Isabelle has flown the coop🐔. After that, he probably rushes home to his family👨👩👦👦.
😉 Plus, we don't know if that is his specialty. Once he gets his own kitchen done, perhaps he might cook for viewers on their "Escape to Rural France" channel.
I expect he will probably do his own blog on his own culinary delights when he gets his kitchen finished
Sorry - don't mean to be a twat - but it's haut cuisine. High cuisine. Haut couture is fashion
Dan didn't train as a French chef and has changed careers, so why would you expect him to demonstrate cooking French cuisine? There is no rationale behind some of the requests made.
@@danellis-jones1591 You were not being a twat at all, you are right to point out the difference.
Everything is looking so beautiful! I love Maries studio and the idea of having Thanksgiving dinner there! Dans doing a wonderful job! The disco party is so fun. Selmar with his John Travolta/ Saturday Night Fever white suit is so great. Thank you Stephanie and all of you for another fun vlog!
2024 and the first time I’ve seen this ! So nice to come across a botany lesson critter stickers boozy Christmas baking gifted flowers and a disco party !so full I’m going to smile all afternoon
This is what’s going to heal the world: more dancing party! 😄 🙌 We all need to dance more .... and in costume! 😁 Especially when we are not in the mood. Its so great that this time the instigators were the men! They plan the whole thing!!! Love it! 😃
The roses are amazing! They grew way more then i expected this year.
What fun! Selmar is the best. He has an outfit for everything but it is his sweet nature that really steals my heart. xoxo
Living life to the fullest! Luv watching your RUclips videos.
Happy to see Isabelle participating on the vlogs from afar . 🥰
One of the things I absolutely love about Lalande is that you can spontaneously decide on a themed party, or an outing, and there's always lovely, agreeable, fun people to join in.
Also, a while back there was talk in South Africa of felling the jacarandas and replacing them with indigenous trees because jacarandas are alien plants and aren't great for our water table with drought-prone climate, but people love them so much that they decided to mostly let them be for now. Some cities' streets are lined with them and when you look at the view from a hill, it's like your surroundings just turn purple every spring.
Selmar looking sleek in that white suit!
Stephanie, if the electricity cables and the future phone conduit are buried in the same trench, try and get as much distance separating them as possible or you may get static interference in the phone cable due to the magnetic field generated by the electricity cable.
Thank you for doing a live on my birthday, just made my day :) Love from Portugal
Happy birthday to both of you!
Happy Birthday, Girls!
Happy birthday! 🎉🎈 Parabéns 🍾
@GaslitWorld f. Melissa B Happy shared birthday. I was born at 12:05 pm, just in time for lunch LOL
Happy birthday folks!🍰🎂🍭🍬🥧🧁
Those flowers that Marie got that are setting outside are fall mums. They bloom in the fall, they are prenial plant. Show Dan, they can be planted in the ground and bloom next year.
Selmar is " Staying Alive" .
The exercise tights are a puzzle but Beautiful
Kat looks Amazing
And Stephanie Shines as Always..
✌❤✌
Sometimes hybrid roses return to their original color when cuttings are taken
My tulips have done that too.
@@ejt321 I've had Iris change color from purple to yellow after I moved them. Maybe it's my imagination, but I swear they were purple.
Gnomes.
Cuttings are literally clones, there is no derivation from the original, these were just mislabeled.
Science! Good to know🌹
I think the water Lily idea for the fountain is the best thought. Lilies and lily pads.
Nature does what it pleases. When flowers do not come out properly we know someone else has the hand in it all. Without flowers, this world would be so desolate. Could not imagine. I love flowers and never could live without seeing the flowers coming out every year. My herbs too. It means so much! Love the Red / White Roses that came up unexpectedly but not sure of the name? It may be sort of Peppermint Rose, but not sure?
So love La Lande and all that takes place. The videos are great and I know much time goes into all that they must do to show us each one.
I wish so much I could just give money to all the work, but we are not able on our social security (even though we worked full-time decent jobs) but we live in a smaller community, and what we thought was good money then, was not that great to keep up with how expensive things now have become, but people just cannot tell by watching us, it looks like all is fine, and overall it is, so far!) We do not want to move and bother anyone really ) and owning our home it takes our money, and alot especially with winter heat bills. But if for any odd reason I should get alot of money all at once, ( love dreaming as one never knows) I will be more than happy to be giving money each month. So that I must pray happens, but then again everyone seems to want that. Breaks my heart I cannot. Maybe given time. (Your Live changes I have found. Like chapters in a book).
It is worth it to watch the Chateau grow and be turned into the lovely home it was and is, meant to be. The joyfulness in the home will set into the atmosphere and the spirit of the joy will probably be in the walls and go on for many years.
Thank you for those beautiful words, and please never feel that you need to donate anything to the chateau. You’re helping simply by watching the vlogs ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheChateauDiaries TY that is very nice. If I can though, I certainly will. It is great being part of this family in some way!
Those were cranes flying in the V formation heading south, not geese. I could tell by their calls.....
Yes. I agree.
Okay these are totally my kind of parties. I'm ready to run away to the chateau. One day, this will happen! It's at the top of my bucket list.
I say all the time, I am going to run away to the Chateau.
My 11 yr old grandson, (whom I raise), grabbed me when I was watching one of the videos.
He said, “Mammaw, you can’t ever go to
Chateau “!
I asked him why.
He said because you wouldn’t come back❗️
They know, when Stephanie posts a new video, it is my vacation break time.
I did realize I must be more careful, talking about my bucket list around the kids.
@@peggyvick935 We seem to be a lot alike. Everything stops when my video comes on. Don't bother me don't talk to me, everything can wait till after chateau time! My kids say the same thing, look out because when I get on the plane to go I probably will not have a return ticket. I don't plan to have a return ticket anyway. Lol. I hope we see each other there. You know we will have the most wonderful time!
Omgoodness you guys, the dancing was hilarious!! 🤣Everyone looked very 70's and Selmar you really reminded me of John Travolta, you are a man with many, many talents!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!🦃 Love from Pittsburgh PA 💕
The outfits for the disco night were fantastic. Selmar reminded me so much of Barry Gibb/John Travolta in his outfit with his flowing hair. So much fun!
I love how beautiful the grass is looking near the drive path! Dan's done a really good job. Bit of a shame it had to be disturbed for a bit haha.
Well it's all back to Stephanie's gaff for a party..🥂🍾👗🍷🍸🎼🎥🖥💽💖💋. Everyone looked stunning, Selmar certainly rocks a white suit. He certainly packs a wardrobe in such a smallish camper.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💋. Joy and love Olive
Selmar is the disco king.
Love, love, love your videos. You’ve hit on the magic formula.
Thanks for a fantastic video all of you are great.
A bouqueeeeeet of Hyacinths to the lady of the house speaking!😄😄😄
Now I have to watch Keeping up Appearances lol
@@deirdreball3731 I will have to do that aswell!😄🙌
Stephanie, another wonderful vlog. Your chateau is rocking tonight!
So funny, I was just thinking about my college dormitory in 1977, the year Saturday Night Fever came out and how you could hear the album being played out of everyone's room in rotation, 24/7. I had to admit it was incredibly fun to dance to, even if I thought disco a bit tacky as a music style and culture. You all did that era proud, and Nati's moves were extra!
@@vino140 Hi Vino, thank you for answering my question at the live chat. You were the only one. Your comments today are a little bit rude. Mayby you had a hard day. Come down. You must not love disco. Greatings!
@@svenschreiber7029 🏵
Thanx for trying to show compassion while scolding🙊.
Did you know that 🎤80s Aussie Pop-Singer Kylie Minogue just dropped a Disco album. 🎉It's pretty good too!
Sorry...not sorry... Vino. Looks like you'll have to suffer. 🕺Disco & glam rock🎸 will never be dead☠.
🎼Too many fabulous songs, artists, fashions & movies were born from that ultra glittering & glitzy dancing era. The BeeGees, Abba, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Donna Summer, Diana Ross, Gloria Gaynor, the Jackson5, Chic, & many more.
Club 54 was rather risque, but overall disco was not tacky. 😉It was ☄showy and theatrical☄.
Isabelle I've been bringing those blue jacaranda seeds from Portugal,...and wondered why nothing came up..i planted the empty seed pods..not realising the seeds had already vanished...Dim bulb that I am. So thankyou...for that botanical snippet.
Beautiful wreath Marie! 👍
I'd get a wiggle on and scrape the gravel out of the way.
😁Me too! Before it gets mixed in the soil.
It certainly would have been doable!
Yes they could save it from being messed up that way and just rake it back over when the digging is finished
There are actually two layers of gravel there - a greyish one underneath to level it out and stop the muddy mess from happening, and the pinkish surface gravel. Even if they rake it away they're going to end up with it all mixed up and a bit unsightly.
Make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe 😁
Disco divas!! 😍
awwww i loved this video but the dancing at the end made me cry.... to feel the joy Thank you! I live in Ibiza & am used to dancing all the time in lovely spaces & celebrations but not this year of course so you made me inwardly have a little boogie this morning. I love to dance and do so at home but nothing like a group like you are & a great atmosphere!!! Thank you! You are giving me ideas.
I love Selmar's suit!!!
As per usual beautiful things, laughter & fun. Lalande life ! I love that the gardin is now called "Le Jardin d'Isabelle" & I like to think that it will be know as such for centuries to come.
Best show for sure . Better than BBC!
Jacaranda trees are beautiful and also grow in Southern California.
Yes, we have a couple wanting to spring up in our back yard. Once upon a time, we removed one from the front garden.
They're truly beautiful, but don't place them near a patio or where 🚘cars are parked bcos of sticky sap. Or, near a 🏊♀️pool where the blooms will drop in. Both the sap & the debris is very hard to remove. 🦋
So good to see Mummy she looks so happy and refreshed! Love looks so good on her! I think they should scrape up the gravel over the driveway and put it over the newly buried cable ditch when it is finished save a few bucks. The dance looks like fun. all just having a good time. Stephanie, I think you dressed down too much as the others were very dressed dance floor lol. Well, don't Selmar look so handsome. He is always the bomb!
I really love the courtyard and can’t wait to see it in the spring and summer of next year. Well done! Dan is a real gem, don’t let him get away, love him❣️
I would love to see a new intro to your videos with the new courtyard and green grass in the surrounding yard.
I’ve watched many RUclips videos about chateaus. Yours is the first one that I actually feel as though I could live there every day. You’ve brought so much excitement and laughter to your home. Thank you for sharing this journey and adventure with us. There’s not one thing I don’t love about your château and I wish I could live there
I absolutely love Selma. Is he a volunteer or a paid worker. I love seeing him on the videos and hope he never leaves!
It is always a pleasure to see Michael Potts and Oliver! I have been watching the whole series over again and honestly feel like I know you all. So many wonderful people come and go, what a beautiful life you actually have, being able to meet so many wonderful people!!
I will always be a faithful follower!!
