SUNDAYS AT THE CHATEAU: MONET'S FORGOTTEN SERIES!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- This Sunday join my friend Oliver and I as we go to the tiny village of Fresselines, to visit the spot where Monet created a series of paintings of the river Creuse. This largely overlooked series of paintings marked a turning point in his artistic technique, and Ollie tells us why we have the changeable local weather to thank for that!
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰
In 'Sundays at the Chateau', chatelaine Stephanie answers all your questions about life in the 16th century Chateau de Lalande, and introduces you to the cultural and gastronomic treasures of France ❤️

yes oliver must buy this house it must of been part of the chateau at one point
He could hold artist retreats there
I would love to see Oliver buy the house and start his own Vlog series!
@@rachelsotora2668 Brilliant idea! 💙Oliver💙 is such a dear. A total sweetheart who is smart, personable, talented & knowledgeable. Doesn't hurt that he's easy on the eyes too. 🥂 The viewers would rejoice having him & his whole family as LaLande's neighbor's down the road at an 🎨artist retreat. He would be a fab vlog host! His guest spots here are always lively & entertaining💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

Yes!!!!
Love seeing the chateaux life but this was so lovely , Oliver managed to transfer his enthusiasm and passion to us all! And so informative 👏
Monet is one of my favourite
That was so enjoyable and informative. Ollie and Stephanie's enthusiasm makes the subject so interesting. Thank you. ❤️
@@Qwertyuiopclub there is one tonight. Its a gift opening one. Started about an hour ago.
Oh, I hope Oliver buys his artist’s retreat!! 💛💛💛
Oliver, the restoration of the property you came on "accidently" will become a monster vlog. You will have Patreons worldwide in conjunction with the restoration and the vision of an artists retreat, gallery etc. and so near the Chateau...totally Amazing!!! let us know when you sign the papers as the new owners....
Wouldn’t that be awesome! 😊
Oliver is the best guy for a lovely friend
Peach, I would definitely become a Patreon for his channel. How lucky we all are to be a part of this growing community. I feel so blessed for stumbling upon Stephanie’s channel. I found her very early on and have watched this vlog explode into something so very exciting. I’m just so thrilled by it all. Stephanie attracts the most beautiful people, because she is so beautiful.
I agree
Is it too much to hope that Oliver might be able to buy that farm and turn it onto an artists' haven? And I agree with @peach .... You would have patreons galore!
It's obvious Oliver is an artist, his excitement and knowledge shows through . x
Oliver should start his own series where he goes around to the original sites of the artists' famous paintings. He was so natural on camera and told wonderful back stories.
Oliver you MUST buy the house for an artists retreat - you will never regret following your heart.
Wow. I'm struggling with the fact that I've just watched over 30 mins of 'amateur' TV which is actually much more interesting and far more entertaining than stuff for which I'm forced to pay to watch but is billed as 'free view'.
Absolutely brilliant, thank you so much.
Well said. I barely watch normal TV anymore. I love these vlogs. They are so real and informative.
Dear Chris, these are not your average amateurs” rsrs... 🤩 These brilliant people the real knowledge of Classical Art Graduates 🎭💝
I have took away my normal TV about 5 years ago and mostly watch RUclips and a little bit of Netflix. So much knowledge and entertainment here and most of my favorite shows are here on RUclips too and also found audiobooks on RUclips and it's all free. Just watch a few ads but we have that with regular TV too so no difference 😊💖
I too have changed my viewing habits.In the past I did not watch much of what I call idiot tv. The mainstream, I only watched PBS and TVO. Now I've discovered this whole new world of YT. With blogs and documentaries. They are so interesting , from homestead farmers , artisans ,pioneers, adventurers,travellers historians and artists of all kinds. It has brought the world to my living room. The Chateau Leland is one such vlog. Stephanie and mommies and her friends and guests are a breath of fresh air. I have even been inspired to open our own YT Channel to record our adventure with our new self built home and garden and property adventures. Loving it in our retirement.
I really really like Ollies guides and stories of art and painting. I have learned so much from him and his comments. Too bad we can't have a 'regular' video from him with more. I now make an effort to look at Chagall and now I appreciate his use of color. I did not know that he was one of the first to use bright colors. Please more 'tours with Ollie"
He should buy and restore that old property, then educate us all with his stories of fine art and artists from his idyllic new home in the French countryside!! He sure was in his element! His joy was apparent!
I so agree!! More of Ollie!!!
First time I heard of Chagall was watching " Notting Hill"
I absolutely adore Oliver and his always kind personality...I can't imagine him be impatient, or at least ever expressing it.
My name is money penny 008
I love your names
Absolutely the best Sundays at the Chateau thus far. I love being educated by your videos. Porcelain, fashion, history, painting! I’m becoming so cultured
Content like this was what made me subscribe to this channel last year. More of these please. Stephanie’s natural storytelling is enhanced by Oliver ‘s knowledge and presence. ❤️❤️
Oliver's eyes were so radiant while talking about Monet! Great vlog, so informative!
OMG! the property they found...stunning even in its state of disrepair....an accident? Nothing is a coincidence!
I totally agree!
Actually, the property seems to be in pretty good shape. It was probably lived in not that long ago. The roof of the barn seems pretty new and the other buildings are not showing stages of distress. It need to be updated for sure, but could probably be lived in during the Summers after a good clean up and loads of paint. At least to start with.
Amazing episode, Stephanie & Oliver!! One of my all-time favorites yet! Stephanie, your vlogs keep getting better & better. Thank you for everything you post. 💝 🏰 🖼 🥖🧁 🥐 🇫🇷 🇬🇧
I think we all want Oliver to buy this beautiful site .
A lovely episode of Sundays at the Chateau, The joy of watching the easy friendship of people who have known each other for years, beautiful landscapes, a history lesson for Stephanie and the viewers and a delicious picnic by a river.!
“Shan’t!” - absolutely wonderful art history content and fantastic banter in this one. Brilliant pairing!
Wonderful episode. Oliver is a delight. I hope we see more of him. Most Americans who go to France only see Paris. Thank you for sharing the beautiful French countryside with us. Your channel is a real cultural treasure.
Yes, the French coutryside is a joy ... I get serious thoughts about living the rest of our lives there.
Sundays at the Chateau passes too quickly. Very enjoyable and entertaining!
That is probably one of the best vlogs you have ever done! Riveting. Get Ollie to look at the farm next to you! It has amazing gardens. After I started watching chateau diaries I started house hunting online. Type in crozon sur vauvre and you will see the farm. It’s 325 000 euros. About 4 ha
Can you please post the link? I'm having trouble finding it online. Thanks!
No way.... that farm with 4 ha around 70 000 euros max.... and probably much less.
325K is far too much 😳
@@jourdainjardin846 I totally agree. If it's not up for sale, how can anyone come up with the €325,000 figure? This is just a guess, and no-one has so far posted a link to any online ad.
I always look forward to all the videos but I love the Sunday series that show us the history and culture of the area. PS Oliver is a gem!
I love Sundays with my chateau family🥰
I totally agree!!🥰🥰🥰 I was about to make the same comment!
me too! LOVE IT.... problem is i could watch .... HOURS🤣🤣
I love our little online family. ❤️
@@captainMAE 😍😍😍
That was brilliant, i could listen to Oliver all day,i loved learning about Monet, more please😄😄😄
Bravo! I thoroughly enjoy all your Sundays at The Chateau, but you have outdone yourselves with this episode! So enjoyable to watch and to get a peek into your part of the world. You both are so enthusiastic, full of knowledge, and a joy to watch. You both are treasures!
Video by video you remind me something that Aristoteles had said" the honest person remain child".Thank you so much for your brilliant videos and the happiness that so generous offer to all of us.Kisses from Greece.
Australia Calling: Two lovely people and so knowledgeable on History and art.
Thank you Stephanie for taking us on this outing. I just love to see the local villages they are so beautiful, what a wonderful way of life and the scenery is so magical. Hearing Olivers passionate info on Monet's life and paintings was so interesting, please keep us all posted if pursues and is successful obtaining the property close to yours, it looks like it was meant for him, plenty of room for his artist studio. It's hard to believe properties like those are unloved and lived in around France.
I am completely fascinated by the unlikely events that led me to learn all this about such a great artist. The circumstances that led you, Stephanie, to buy LaLande all those years ago, coupled with the circumstances that led me to find your RUclips channel. Encountering someone with such an encyclopedic knowledge of so many things would not have happened had those happenstances not occurred. Happy Sunday all ❣️
Pamy H. Serendipity! We are all so much better informed about the world and so much happier because of it. Many thanks to the magic of Stephanie Jarvis. 😊
As a child, I remember becoming aware of famous paintings and the ones I liked best were called the Impressionists. It wasn't until some time later that I understood the meaning and that it was a movement that flourished in the face of oppression. From the beginning of time all of "The Arts" have been instrumental in fighting oppression. Thank you again and always Stephanie for your SHARING SOUL: the journey to this enchanted place, the idyllic picnic, Oliver and the joy in his face. What a beautiful gift.
this has been a brilliant vlog...thank you Stephanie and Oliver for the artistic excursion, it was excellent.
LOVE Oliver! I could hear him talk art forever!
I enjoy so much this video and special Oliver, he is a very charming and charismatic person that I think he can have his own channel talking and showing us the places where famous painters either leave and/or paint, give my best to him and Stephanie.
Good evening everyone! 👋👋👋
Castle ten Berghe hello.
@susan brown Hello
That was marvelous! And now, please allow me to live vicariously another of my dreams as Oliver purchases the farm!!
Outstanding Stephanie!!! You do the best vlog!!! loved everything!!!! :D
Omg ! I love this man. Where did he come from. Where was he all this covid time. He’s so charming
He lives in England with his wife and 2 girls. Stephanie has known Ollie since university. He comes to lalande to rest from the stress of his job to do art with his wife's blessing.
I just love Sundays at the Chateau! It's so important to continue to learn throughout life, and while I'm more familiar with Monet at Giverny, this earlier era of his career was unknown to me. Thank you!
This vlog with Oliver was fantastic. You are both so knowledgeable. I also loved how you made Monet seem more real by reading his letters!
Thanks for the art history lesson Ollie, loved it. I hope that you do purchase ur artist’s retreat, how fun would that be!
Oliver, your vision is just wonderful, it is amazing when God creates us he literally puts in these bountiful gifts to draw His people to you. God Bless you and all you do, have a blessed week!!!
Thank you Stephanie for being so enduring in your journey. Do you even realize how you are helping so many you have inspired. God Bless you, have a good week.
really so informative, loved this and indeed, every cloud does have a silver lining so "open up your heart and let the sunshine in"
Such beauty-- I can see how the endlessly changing weather would have been frustrating to Monet, but nothing ever stays the same. What a beautiful lesson he had, and we, the viewers, profit from it. Ah, Rodin. I'm afraid I shall never forgive him for his treatment of Camille Claudel. What an end she came to...
Thank you so much for sharing so much with us! Merci!
🙏🏻💗⚜️💜⚜️💗🙏🏻
Loved every skerrick of this video. It is safe to safe that Oliver's enthusiasm for fascinating historical details, matches your own, Stephanie.
I found that fascinating, as a painting I love Monet and Impressionism! That was a great vlog
Hello Stephanie and Oliver. You guys outdid yourselves! This video was just fabulous. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. The scenery was just gorgeous and the history amazing. Oliver, you have the most beautiful smile. Thanks a bunch. Be well.
Who suddenly needs a cheeky latte? And I’m a tea drinker!! I feel so much lightness and joy watching!💛💛💛
I admit, I have never been that interested in art, but here I am hanging on every second of this episode. Thank you for sharing your passion and inspiration. I bet your dad is very proud!
This was absolutely one of the best vlogs yet ! I love learning new things like this. Thank you so much Ollie ! Hate that you have to go....buy that artist retreat and bring your family to France ! :)
I’m so happy to see you growing and being so successful. Not too long ago I remember you were at 77,000 subscribers and now your over 80,000. I’m so thrilled! Wish you all the success in the world ❤️
This was AMAZING ✅
You two are a perfect
History show‼️
What an educational video.
The beautiful scenery.
Get READY, Stephanie
you’re going to need a TOUR BUS❗️
What a wonderful place.
I had an amazing 4 grade teacher, whose love of France passed to me.
It has been my lifelong dream to go there since.
At least now I can, through you!
Blessings to you.♥️
Oliver, buy the beautiful farm. We want to meet your lovely wife, family too.
I loved this video! Well I always love them but I really appreciate the effort. I learned something new and interesting and plan on reading more about it. Thank you. 😄 Ollies enthusiasm and story telling is quite charming.
Very interesting vlog about Monet's life. My daughter did project about him while she was at university years ago. Now is standing behind my back and watching vlog with me with big interest. We are in Australia.
Two perfect story-tellers!
oh!! and im so excited she is @81.1k viewers already!!! dying to see more!! im so greedy with my la lande vlogs🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Marlene @Judi I'm in Texas, too. The rain has finally stopped. Feeling very fortunate that trees are still standing. Take care and stay safe.
Glad it wasn't too damaging!
So cool to see you here !!! My family comes from this village :)
Oliver: Thanks for furthering my education re Claude Monet. This has been an adorable video. Stephanie you’re the best, keep it up! Also... Oliver, that place everyone says you should purchase has some potentially lovely painting scenes.
Hello fellow O'Dell, (my maiden name). ☺
Upstars Girl...my late husbands name. Nice to meet you!
Never enjoyed vlog like i enjoyed this one. Stephanie is beautiful and elegant, oliver is the most handsome man ever. The place, the talks about my favourite artist. The ease in dishing all this art. The lovely friendship that join you. The place and you both are chanting and breathtaking.
Thank you for all that
These vlogs just get better and better; thankyou!
I love this channel, I watch it to cheer myself up. I go between this channel and Doing It Ourselves. It lets me know there are still truly beautiful people left, with all the chaos going on. Have a blessed day and thank you! A fan from California!

Lots of love from DIANE HAZLEY IN NORTHERN IRELAND xx 🎉💐💐
You and Ollie...host of an art show...or any show...I would LOVE that...so enjoyable!!!!!!!!!
So exciting to think and dream of what could be with that property! Do it Oliver!! We'll help! haha
Oh how I've missed my art history classes! You brought me right back to the joys of discussing art!
Monet has a special place in my heart, my granny a music teacher was enraptured by him, and shared that love with me. I'm a little teary rn.
You are so Blessed!!!!🙏😇🥰
Love your vlogs but i REALLY love that my grandson, who is 8, loves watching with me and he's getting education enrichment thru it! So wonderful that Stephanie makes it THAT interesting!💜
Omg perfect land for Oliver need more information on that property how interesting!
On Google maps look for les paucheres near La Lande and just off the hamlet there is a farm called Les Las
Absolutely loved this video! Oliver is great I’m so glad he was introduced to these videos. I hope we can see Stephanie and Gerry doing something special like this and spending the day together soon :’) maybe they can go to a zoo!
I love Oliver! Please come back soon... 🙂
Your channel is an absolute gem. Please don’t let some television channel buy you out and destroy your authenticity and genuineness. I love watching your discoveries and seeing your enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge. Oliver is such a gentleman and his knowledge of art astounds me. He is a true artist. He must have that artist’s studio and gallery you two stumbled upon. Keep these videos coming! I’m an artist, as well, and working on something very special for you, dear Stephanie! I wish I literally was with you and Ollie on your tour of Monet, but somehow I feel like I was there! Thank you!
I have a question for you Oliver- when I was in art college I had a theory that the Impressionists has vision problems. Many of them went blind in later life if I recall (perhaps from the chemicals in the paints?) Indeed when I don’t have my contacts in, the world looks Impressionist. No slight to the genius of how they captured light but perhaps they saw light differently than other people?
Oliver is so lovely and engaging.
Beautiful vlog, a joy to watch and as usual learnt something about Monet I didn’t know .
Thank you so much Stephanie and Ollie , I felt that I was on this journey with you both, even thought I am sitting on my deck in Dartmouth Nova Scotia , I was transported to Fresselines with you both and I could taste the tart and smell the wonderful smells of the french air and feel the breezes on my skin even thought it is a hot sunny 28 degrees here I could feel the slight chill of the on coming rain. I thank you for reading Monet 's letters to Alice. I have been a fan of Monet's work since I was in high school but this journey with you and Ollie let me get to know Monet better and to feel his passion and frustration for the weather. I will never look the same way at his masterpieces again. I feel that my eyes are wide open instead of half closed This was bliss
I have simply loved listening to Oliver! I would have never learned about Monet if it was not for watching this episode! Thoroughly enjoyed his description of how and why he painted the way he did! I envy your friendships Stephanie, you are so blessed 💕
Oliver really seemed especially happy today. Stephanie, you are an excellent story teller. You and Oliver really made it very interesting! Thanks!
Monet's Water Lillies is the theme of my office. Very interesting stories and so close to your chateau!
You two play off one a other... BEAUTIFULLY
What a fabulous Sunday. I am so excited to be in this charming town where Monet lived and painted. Prior to seeing this, I thought Giverney was everything. This delightful picnic was enhanced by you, Stephanie with your joy and reading of Monet's letters and also Oliver's enthusiasm and knowledge. Another reason to come and stay at the Chateau. I loved this day, thank you so much. Mary Ann Recht. I cannot forget the cows!
I love Oliver joining in your vlogs! I just hope he buys that gorgeous place and we get even more of him on RUclips as well. Also, Limousin cattle in Australia are red in colour! Maybe they have more than one colour.....but they do look like Charolais cattle. X
That is what everyone else seems to think as well that they are Charolais.
@@Jayrose59 Oh thankyou. I was sure someone else would've already mentioned it but I didn't want to read all the hundreds of comments to find out!!
@@nataliekeane8944 Where do you live in Oz? Im in Wellington, NZ.
@@Jayrose59 I live in Tasmania!! I'm secretly hoping they are going to open up borders between NZ and Tassie before the rest of Aus!! There was some talk of it because Tassie and NZ are arguably the safest places in the world right now. LOL.
@@nataliekeane8944 Ooooohhhh! I lived in Launceston for 18 months in the eighties. Love tassie. Where do you live?
That property near the chateau is magical and yes, so idyllic for an artist! I loved that little chapel in the small town - so, so gorgeous! And oh my goodness the Rodin Museum in Paris is one of my favorite museums in the world! When Oliver was talking about the changing weather and how it affected Monet's series of paintings, I kept thinking too how much that changing weather helped Monet capture the different lighting on the paintings which is something that has always impressed me in not only Monet's paintings, but others as well is the way they can capture the light with paint. Oh my gosh that thing about having the leaves taken off the tree and what a hard job it was - FOR TWO OTHER MEN!!! And hired someone to dust and wash the water lilies?? Is that true???Thank you for another awesome video!
Thank you Stephanie and Oliver for a fun and informative day in the countryside. Always glad to know more about Monet ("constantly chasing nature") particularly from a spot where he painted. I hope Oliver can find out if the seemingly- abandoned property. is available.
That was a very good vlog. I love how you are so flexible in your travels. The first stop at the house found through serendipity was quite a find. Imagine if it works out and he becomes your new neighbor. I have to admit I did miss mommy and all the excitement that goes on around the chateau. However this was a nice change. Always a pleasure.
So wishing I could have shared this amazing vlog with my mother ( she passed five years ago) We went to Paris in November of 1992; mom could not wait to see the Waterlillies at Musee' de l 'Orangerie. Monet was her favorite. Thank you Stephanie and Ollie for such a perfect outting. Will keep today's vlog close by always.
This has been such a lovely vlog. I have always been a fan of Monet so such a delight to drink a hot cup of tea and see the places where he painted, the house he stayed in, the country side and great stories shared by Oliver and Stephanie. Thank you. xoxo
The best "Chateau Diaries" episode yet!! The art history adds a wonderful dimension. Thank you!!!
⚜ Dearest 🌻 Stephanie & 🎨Oliver make the most beautifully🚸matched hosts that masterfully charm & transform us on these🔅special Sunday outings! 💛Greatly enjoy your warm & invigorating company as well as your engaging 🎒tours & talks. 🚩Thx for inviting us along to see a bit of your 🥂stylish🍾 world 🌐.
Thank you so much for this Vlog. I love Monet, Manet and the Impressionists. I was in awe and wonder that you were walking the same streets and paths of these great artists. Just amazing 💖💖💖
I thoroughly enjoyed todays vlog. Oliver really needs to buy that farmhouse and vlog his restoration of it! It’s hard for this Australian to comprehend the age, history and beauty of France.
Wonderful Sunday excursions.
First. An artists' enclave... oh yes [if only I spoke French].
Second. A lovely country village with history.
Third. Oliver's [and your] artistic knowledge of painters canvasses and of this place.
Such a joy to hear these stories.
What a gift for today [like being on a picnic with two friends].
Thank you. 💖💕😎
Monet is one of my favourite artists thank you and Ollie for your enthusiasm for the history of art 💛
What a wonderful outing with you and Oliver! The history of Monet and his paintings is superb. Thank you for the tour of this little village!😎🥀🥀🥀🌴🌴🌴💖
Fantastic vlog today!! I paint and adore impressionism. Loved Oliver's comentary and Stephanie's reading of Monet's letters. Hopefully I can come to paint in your beautiful countryside soon.
Exquisite!! Many Thanks Stephanie and Oliver. What a treat!! I'll watch it again and again probably. THANKS!!!!
Ah, 6-7 years ago I was in heaven sitting in front of Monet's water Lily painting while crocheting hexagons and listening to Chopin's nocturnes at the Mets museum in NY! Love the letters and the stories! More please and thank you!
I just love the ‘cultural’ Sunday vlogs, I’ve learnt so much about art, architecture, porcelain, life fabrics and fashions and enjoyed them all. Thank you 😊💕🌺🌸🌼🇦🇺
This episode of Sundays at the Chateau is superb. The presenter duo are appealing, informative and inspiring.
Wonderful vlog! Ollie is a natural and appreciate the art history
This has been one of my favorite vlogs!!! Learned and visited a place I might never had seen otherwise. Thank you 😊
