- In this Friday episode, Patrick and Stuart race against time and nature to get in their early summer harvests of red currants and plums from the chateau gardens. Patrick then uses the steamer/juicer to process the first batch of plums to use for future jams, jellies, and chutney. Patrick and Stuart also reveal their plans for the start of a new project renovation in the chateau.

The silver bowl with the fruit is a renaissance painting ❤
It really is.
I thought the same! So beautiful, a still life caught on camera
@CeciliaA1902 Me too! It looks beautiful, I was wondering if it was silver or maybe pewter, it's like a scene for a Christmas card...
I loved the fruit harvest. Fruits were beautiful and plentiful
I enjoy the many things you do. 😊
The beautiful bowl looked like an oil painting. ❤
The fruit is certainly in abundance.. Love how it looks like a still life displayed, just beautiful! The flowers are gorgeous too. 🌸🌺🌼
Thank you so much. 😊😊😊. Indeed, we have been blessed with an amazing harvest. Hug hugs. ❤❤
Hi Patrick and Stuart,
You two gentlemen are unstoppable ( energy wise). I certainly love watching/listening to Journey to the Chateau!!! Elizabeth in Texas
Thank you Elizabeth. We have our moments, when we feel completely devoid of all energy and then we pull ourselves up and carry on 😂😂😂. Huge hugs 😊
Thanks for taking us on this "Journey"
Thank you for being here with us. It has been quite a journey and we are excited about the future. Hugs to the two of you. ❤❤
Dear Patrick and Stuart, you are so fortunate to have an established orchard with many varieties of fruit. And Patrick’s talents of knowing how to make delicious preserves and jams, the chateau was meant for you. Stuart, as if you have nothing on your list of things to do, the still life of plums should be a painting for the wall of your renovated walk-thru kitchen. Many hugs ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much Stephanie. We are indeed fortunate (even though we compete with many birds to get fruit 😮😂😂. I believe that we are where we are truly happy. Am planning to paint the still life when we have time. I also will,paint 2 larger 17th century portraits for the grand salon. I always change something. Simply copying old masters is not our style. 😊. Hugs and much love from Colombe ❤❤❤
That’s a great harvest of fruit! Looks delicious! The fruit in the baskets and silver on the table would make a beautiful painting! The warm wood, silver and shades of reds and plum absolutely beautiful! ❤ 🍎 🍒 Lots of work but worth it! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Brenda. Thank you indeed. I agree, the combination looks fantastic and I will one day pain that as a still life. And you are right, it is well worth it ❤😊
Wow, another winner! The opening segment showing your gorgeous flower garden, followed by a fantastic harvest and the making of jams, chutneys etc., etc., I can't wait to see the results! No pressure Patrick! Good luck getting the "other" project done with, hopefully soon. Look after yourselves!
You rock Norma! Thank you so much. I am looking forward to making new preserves. Hope people like the . Hugs ❤❤❤❤
I love everything you do with the fruit you grow. It’s a wonderful way to be in touch with the rhythms of the seasons. And the end product is truly a work of art!
Thank you so much. It is amazing what Mother Nature gives us. And the end product makes us proud and happy. Love from Colombe
What a stunning thumbnail!
Thank you so much❤
Wow you certainly have fruit in abundance and your flowers are gorgeous I have no idea how you remember what needs to be done 😊
Hi there. Sometimes it is just luck that we remember things need to be done. 😂😮. Great comment. Thank you ❤
The picture truly is a art piece
Thank you so very much ❤❤❤
Patrick and Stuart your garden flowers and fruit all look so lovely. You two are making so much headway, I think your plans for the side kitchen will make such a HUG impact on the flow of the enfilade (no more yelling at your fur babies). Till next time, hugs and stay well.
Thank you Ina. I am looking forward to the reworked side kitchen. And no more yelling indeed……. Hugs ❤❤❤
Those Dalias are amazing! And so is the music you chose for the entire video. Maybe next year you should pick up the fruit in May or mid June. You should invite your friends to a day of harvest, and share the fruit with them. The variety of fruit is great and looks delicious too.😊
Inviting friends is a great idea. However, the fruit ripens in stages throughout the summer. Basically from June through October. Hugs ❤❤
I enjoy your channel more and more each episode!! ( Jane, Nevada)
Thank you!
Thank you so much Jane. You are very kind ❤❤❤
The garden's are absolutely stunning !
Love you guy's! ❤
Thank you so much. 🥰🥰🥰. You are so kind 😊❤
Exciting plans for the side kitchen. Looking forward to it. Lovely seeing what you do with all the fruit. Enjoy the Tour de France🇫🇷
ThNk you so much Barbara. We are excited about the Tour and I am thrilled to be making my first jams of the year. And all for Christmas ❤🎉❤. Love from Colombe 😊
Is it weird to say that I could listen to Mozart while watching you pick fruit, all day?! 😍😀😊
Isn't it just fantastic to walk outside your home to pick fruits and veggies? Love your videos! ❤️
Danielle, you are absolutely right, it feels wonderful. Thank you so very much ❤❤❤ from Colombe
So much fruit so little time, i don't know how you both have the energy for everything you do, have a great weekend xxx
You are so right. We feel that we need 36 hour days! 😂😂😂. Totally true. We steal time, I think 😊. Love your comment. Thank you ❤
The fruit and silver dish - looks like a Cezanne painting !❤❤The gardens are looking spectacular- obviously loved all that rain ❤ Enjoy the Tour de France !
We are so excited about the TDF. And the display of the fruit……. We were looking for a dish and I remembered this stunning silver bowl. Who knew it would look this good? 😊😊😊. Huge hugs from Colombe and the rain soaked gardens (who did love the rain) 😊❤
I was drooling seeing all the fruit you were harvesting. Reminded me of my years growing up. Mom had peach & plum trees & made wonderful jams & jellies!
We are always amazed seeing all the fruit and loving making the jams that so many people enjoy. I remember my grandmas making preserves. How wonderful! ❤❤❤. Hugs
Hello my darling Stuart and Patrick . Not long home and I just wanted to get in and watch your vlog and it certainly was worth waiting for.
Firstly the attention to detail every week when you are setting up your thumbnail shots is always appropriate to the vlog.
The plumbs and silver bowl and the copper jelly mould etc are like a work of art. 👏🏼👏🏼
Stuart the music to accompany all the shots of the beautiful range of flowers certainly makes me very emotional in a nice way as it is so beautifully edited.
I would love to be there just harvesting all the fruit and with the sun on your back, neither of which is going to happen over here in Ireland with the weather and not many fruit trees near me.😊
Patrick I definitely think peach Bellini’s is my favourite 🍸🍹
Thanks again it really lifted my spirit this vlog. Big hugs and love from me. 🥰🥰🇨🇮
Love your comment. It is always so uplifting when amazing people like you enjoy our vlogs. Stuart works so hard to edit the videos. I couldn’t do it. We have done so much work again the last weeks, I am way behind in replying. Love from us and please take care of yourself. 😊😊😊
A few flowers around the bowl of plums would make a great still life picture .
Isn’t it just amazing! ❤❤❤
Great job harvesting the fruit. We are having fruit envy here.
Thank you Edmund. It is so satisfying to harvest and create jams, chutneys and cook one’s own veggies. Wishing you a lovely fruit harvest! ❤❤❤
The silver bowl of fruit would be stunning as a painting. It's simply beautiful and refulgent.
Hi Gail. I love it too and decided I will paint it in oil this winter. ❤❤❤. You have a great eye!
Your garden is beautiful. All the trees and plants you added to the ones already were in the property contribute to create a welcoming place to so many birds, butterflies, bees and so many other creatures. At the same time you have fresh vegetables and fruits to enjoy and prepare delicious meals for you and your guests. ❤
We love to see the many bees, butterflies and bumblebees. And the fruit we harvest is a blessing. We have plans for more trees and shrubs to be planted. It is so rewarding. Love from Colombe ❤
Enjoy the Tour De France. It’s an amazing atmosphere. Don’t wear yourselves out, enjoy the sunshine when you can.
The flowers, the fruit, the beautiful music. It was all restorative for me today! Thank you for sharing your beautiful world with us.
Thank you so very much Pamela. What a beautiful comment. Huge hugs ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Danke schoen. 🤗
🫐🍎🥝 Beautiful show, today. Absolutely beautiful guys. Thank you 😊
Thank you so very much Jackie. ❤❤❤
🍾🍷 Your show makes my life better. Have a wonderful night's rest in your so special abode. 💕
Hello... That great taking care of your products (fruits) you live to cultivate and make some jelly... About that space suggestion... To use that butler room for a laundry and fridges... So that hallway stays free of clutter... Like here we have an appliance room . 😊
Thank-you Patrick and Stuart, love the inclusions of your garden, and the beautiful Dahlia's, so many wonderful varieties, Stuart your choices of music are stupendous thoroughly enjoyed it., and Patrick looking so forward to your chutneys and jams, and all things in the kitchen my goodness enjoy it all who am I kidding lol . Looking forward to the Tour De France video, until next time, take special care...
Oh my gosh! Talking about the plums brought me back to my Mom’s Zwetschge Kuche! She made a crust, sort of like a sugar cookie dough, pressed it into a rectangle plan and added a layer of sliced plums. She’d sprinkled sugar and breadcrumbs (for the juice) and baked it. I haven’t had in 8 years since she’s been gone. I need to get black plums and try it, I’ve missed it so much! It’s also amazing with blueberries. Thank you for bringing back a happy memory for me!💕
WOW! Such a great harvest! Plums are really a beautiful fruit and taste great too! Enjoy the "fruit" of your labor😘💕
What an abundance of fruit you have fabulous selection. Doesn't hurt to leave a share for wild animals and birds. Everything looks so healthy.
New plans for that side utility is perfect. It will make such a difference to living. Look forward to seeing it grow.xx
The colors of the plums behind you are gorgeous. From the yellow.gold to the deep plum. Find myself thinking of them being used in a room or two. Would be a rich wonderful way of tying the inside of the Chateau to the outside. The room would just be stunning. Just a thought. Loved every moment. Thank you, gentlemen. Carry on.
Your display of fruit looked like a painting. Lots of canning ahead of you. How fun to use what you’re growing in your garden. I just love that!!!
Thank you so much. I feel motivated to paint this as a still life. ❤❤❤. Not soon but when I have time. Hugs from Colombe 😊
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 oh yes when you have time!! lol how about a little motivation ? Paint it and sell prints. I’ll buy one and I’m sure all your followers will purchase one also. Well just a thought. You both have exquisite taste I adore all the work you have done so far🥰
The vignette behind you is beautiful.
I’m so jealous of all the wonderful fruit trees. I could see a nice plaque in front of each tree to state what kind it is. ❤❤
Spended idea for the side kitchen. It will be much better for you. Fresh plumbs, love them. Boy, those branches were loaded. What did you do with the currents? I had a couple of bushes in my yard when we lived in NY State. It was so loaded every year with fruit you could see the red berries from a distance. Made the best jelly ever. Great gifts, too.
Thank you! We immediately froze the currants until we have time to use them for jams/jellies.
I really want to come over and help you harvest and can all the jams and chutney. That would be great! ♥️ 🐾🐾Kisses to all the pups! 🐾🐾
Hi Patrick and Stuart, Oh no, not another project...not that you don't have enough going on right now. I can't wait to watch the progress and the wallpaper going up in the petit salon. Mark & Scott
What amazing flowers! And the fruit is overwhelmingly fantastic. 😁♥️ I’m still dealing with my raspberry harvest, so I empathize.
A great plan for the side kitchen!!! Removing what I call “daily inconveniences” makes such a massive difference. And restoring the look of the enfilad will be beautiful two. Great choice for the “next project.”
Lovely produce from the chateau, and a perfect thing for an accomplished chef! It would be terrible to waste all the wonderful things, so mature and productive. I love to watch the prep and I guess we can all smell it from there! I used to make Damson Plum from a neighborhood tree. I miss that tree now that we aren't there now. Enjoy your chayeau. We do!
You two are awesome, my favorite time is harvest season!! It’s so wonderful to see all the different types of fruits growing and there is so much of it! Thanks to all the rain. Oh how I wish I was there to help! But you got this! Greetings from Texas!
Wow you two don’t stop! It’s fabulous that you both utilise the bountiful fruit from your trees to make your jams and chutney and frozen fruit. Well done.
Also the side kitchen project will be great to allow easier access as well as new flooring, more efficient usage and more storage. It will make life easier, particularly with serving of food in the dining room. Pity it will involve so much work and mess eh? Still you both will make lemonade from the lemons.
I admire the drive you both have in moving through the château renovations. I’m also nearing completion of reorganising and furnishing my city apartment so I can certainly sympathise although I’m not taking on the amount of work and renovations you both are. Still it’s always tiring both doing the work and the mental gymnastics required. So I can sympathise.
Hope the Tour de France celebrations are fabulous for you and your friends and visitors. And hope you find that essential steamer. ❤️❤️
The plums and currants are just the most beautiful colors! Such a busy time of yea but so nice to enjoy these treats in the cold of winter and during the holidays! They are just the best gifts to give friends at Christmas! Enjoy the Tour de France! So exciting to know they are passing by so close! Cheers!
So much beauty! The flowers in your garden, the fruit on the trees, as well as beautifully displayed in the video. Looking forward to seeing the side kitchen as it becomes another helpful space. I remember when you made jam last year and it all looked so good. This season will be just as good. ❤
What a beautiful supply of fresh fruit you have. I bet your kitchen smells delicious while fixing your jams & wines. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Stuart, once again you have given us the best cinematography of mother nature coupled with classical musical interludes. Patrick, you make me hungry with all of your fruit concoctions. I don't envy you both with excavating the concrete in the side kitchen, but at least you will have some help with the electrics and plumbing. Hugs from Philadelphia. Oh, have you considered putting up netting on your trees to protect your fruit from birds and mammals?
Your gardens are beautiful.All of that wonderful fruit.Now the plum port wine and cinnamon jam sounds so good. Thank you for sharing another great video.
Dear Patrick & Stuart
your garden is exquisite,
a wonderland of beauty,
is this
The Garden of Eden"
Thank you so much. It is our small slice of paradise ❤❤❤. Love your comment 😊
Thank you
Journey to the Chateau recently popped into my video 'feed' so I watched it and have been hooked ever since. I have binge watched all episodes and really look forward to each new post. I think that both of you are extremely talented and hard working - keep up the great work!
Thank you! 💕
What a lovely harvest with the fruits nice for jams fresh to eat and the garden so healthy well done both how you have been caring to achieve and maintain your property always the good work cannot wait the petit salon and this project of yours need to be attended soon good luck see you bye
Naughty Fox 😉 Thank you Donna!🤣🤣🤣 Great idea to juge up the little kitchen way ❤
Seeing those deep purple plums made my mouth water! Lol!
Such a bountiful garden! Good idea Donna 👍Sorry, Stuart & Patrick, about the extra work, but I'm sure you are bored with only 16 hour days 😂😂
What a magnificent harvest 🎉 So uplifting for you to reap the rewards of all off your hard work. 😊😊😊
The plums look really lovely in the silver urn, makes me want to paint them. Oh and the dahlias, my goodness! Is it just me or are natures colors just more vibrant and beautiful in France ❤ great harvest! Quick side project...famous last words. 😅 But it will of course be fabulous, i cant wait to see it either.
Stunning fruit display on your sideboard….so creative. Fruit trees…..feast or famine! Crack on
So glad to have caught up. Was away from any internet for a week. I missed you! Can’t wait to here about the Tour de France from you. I totally forgot what a sad room the side kitchen has been. Happy for you that it will be a much prettier and functional space. Hugs!
Oh, I have to add, the plums are gorgeous! They look like they are part of an exquisite still life. So pretty; it was hard taking my eyes off of them. I just wanted to soak in their colors.
Looks like a Renaissance painting! Beautiful!
I absolutely love your fruit garden. Your flower garden is also very beautiful. I definitely would enjoy eating your jam. It looks so good. You have so many talents I’m amazed.
We certainly all have the soul of a poet: having had the same impression of seeing in this still life drawn by the freshly harvested plums, the silver bowl on the polished wooden background of your chest of drawers, an accomplished pictorial work.
So, perhaps I tell myself that all is not lost in this world which aims to be practical, pragmatic and materialistic...: all things that I find mortally boring.
It's thanks to characters like you, who liked to see in the past, not a cheesy and finite world that must be destroyed, or even hated, but on the contrary, a sort of bottomless abyss in which one must recharge one's batteries.
This past reminds us that the beautiful, the useless that they enjoyed is not just futile, but necessary to beautify life which is not always wonderful. It is this art of living that we have lost and which makes us so sad and disillusioned.
Life should not only be convenient and easy, it should also include efforts to make it beautiful and interesting. Life must also be a theater, a comedy, otherwise it has neither flavor nor charm. This is what our contemporaries lack, even if they have a more comfortable life than our ancestors.
They no longer know what beauty is, because they are generally surrounded by ugliness, and they no longer know how to appear. They're just practical and pragmatic, but so sad.
Salût Serge. I do love your comment! Even though it has a deep sadness. We too feel that many people no longer appreciate the beauty and charm and get stuck in a sad surrounding. We wanted to leave the constantly hectic world.
We usually work from about 7 to mostly 23:00 each day. Of course we go to brocantes, and see friends. We find picking fruit and making confitures connects us with the real world. Laying tiles, upholstering 17th century furniture and paining walls and portraits gives us a full life.
We do feel that our life is beautiful and we are glad we are sharing it. I never expected many people to be interested and we have humbled and grateful for wonderful comments like yours. Love from Colombe ❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 ❤ 🥰 Je suis heureux que mes commentaires retiennent votre attention et vous réchauffe le cœur.
Those jams recipes sounds yummy 😋 Nothing like fresh fruits. The fruit bowl looks like a still painting ❤❤❤❤❤Looking forward to the next vlog 😍😘
You could scatter some of the wild plum pits strategically and see if any take. Maybe out on the fringes so the critters will eat those rather than the ones close-in. (Well, one can hope!!! LOL!) The silver compote full of plums would make a great still life painting or photograph. It certainly is frameable. I am so excited about your nature's bounty! Wish I could help pick and preserve it all! I love the new project. The petit salon is incredible! I really think it is becoming one of the jewels of the chateau!
The abundance of fruit from your trees is amazing. The flowers are exquisitely beautiful. I can see where the flow in the petit cuisine will be improved and I’m sure the plumbing will be a large project. Take care my friends, Ralph Rocchiccioli
It is amazing what the lad gives us here. And the change in the layout of the arrière cuisine is going to be a huge improvement. Thank you and take care ❤❤❤
There is no chance of getting bored 😢 The thumbnail looks like a beautiful painting ❤ Well done gathering the fruits, you have to make hay when the sun shines 😢 You must be shattered at the end of the day ❤ Have a lovely weekend guys ❤ 👋 😊
You have such wonderful fruit trees with large harvests. I would love that! Our trees are still young. Your recipes sound yummy. You guys work so hard. I hope you can take some time to relax and enjoy your French life. 😊
Let them eat plums! 😂 Your gardens runneth over. There is a silver lining after all that rain. Beautiful gardens! I love plum jams and chutneys. I also remember you making currant jam last year - time sure does fly. Have a wonderful weekend and try to get some rest! ✌🏼
What a beautiful cabinet ❤ and silver bowl! Love it 🥰 mmmm plumb jam !!
Beautiful flowers and a great variety of fruits! Goods like your going to be busy ❤️❤️
Hi sweeties. Happy Friday. Your jams and jelly are delicious. I still have 3 pots of jams you gave me in may. It will be such an improvement when the zink and washing machine is against the other wall.
And it's also an other little project done😊.
There is no dancing on Friday until august, but i can go dancing on Sunday if i'm in the mood🙂
Have a great weekend. Hugs and kisses also for the furries. 🥰😘❤️🐕
Your flowers are glorious! What a lovely life you’ve made! ❤
Your kitchen must smell wonderful this time of year 💕
Love the new project!
All sounds delicious great that you're using your fruit in such a variety of ways
Your harvest of fruit on the armoire(?) is beautifully displayed. Great for still life for painting or photo shoots. Love it! Love your videos and your journey.
You are both doing an amazing job!! Cant wait to see what the corridor kitchen looks like when you are finished with it. Hope you are going to share cooking your plum/fig jams and chutneys,
Your cabinet in the salon looks “plum” beautiful!!!
your so blessed to have mature fruit bearing trees etc . and your intro pic looks like a grand old master painting 🙂
ABUNDANCE!!!
Of so many things......
Slowly slowly a yearly rhythm develops.
Visions of sugar plums at Christmas!
...and the fact that the two of you are still an item after all these refurbishments😂
Eventuality those 16 hour days will wind down....
♥️🇨🇦
Maria
Hallo Patrick und Stuart, eure Ernte ist toll.Ich freue mich schon auf Patrick s Rezepte. Das neue Projekt wird euch die Arbeit erleichtern.Wenn endlich alles ordentlich steht und ihr keine Umwege habt.Freue mich auf die Videos. Liebe Grüße aus dem kalten Deutschland. Conny ❤
Hallo Cornelia. We Freien uns auf die Ernte. Ich werde die Rezepte veröffentlichen. Tolle Kommentare von Dir. Herzlichen Dank ❤❤❤❤
Dear Patrick & Stuart
your garden is exquisite, a wonderland of colour and beauty
is this
"The Garden of Eden"
fruit, fruit, fruit............
I can’t wait to see all of your harvest cooking!
The flowers are stunning and the fruit is so plentiful. My Oma would grow . and collect the fruit. We would have Plaumen kuchen. Yum yum.
Beautiful flowers in your garden. I haven’t seen gladioli’s in years my grandmother used to grow them. Thank you that was a lovely intro. Oh my you have a glorious fruit orchard. Raspberries, cherries, currants, peaches, plums your pantry will be full of preserves this year. Nice harvest so far. Even the basket with plums in it is pretty.
Thank you! I planted a lot of new gladiola that will be blooming later this summer. They were a favorite of my grandmother. 💕💕
Your fruit harvest is picture perfect!! Thanks for sharing..
Such lovely photography. Thank you for sharing your outdoor spendor.
Good luck with the "side kitchen" project 😄👍
Beautiful harvest!! You are way ahead of us here in Southern Oregon. My plums are not even close to harvest. Just starting to take summer squash, new potatoes, and cucumbers out of the garden.
Really wonderful what you're achieving guys! It's truly awesome. The amount of fruit is absolutely amazing. You're wonderful how you're harvesting it all. It is fantastic the amount you have of different varieties. You will have an amazing amount for desserts, jams and chutney plus juices. Many greetings for you both from me down under plus Sir Toby doggy to your doggies. Am out of hospital now. Bfg 14 day cruise here from 13th! Best. David
Thank you so much for showing us your flowers!! It made my heart happy ❤️ Was that a moth hummingbird? You have so much abundance around you 🌸🍒
The plums look wonderful! Thank you for the video!
The fruit trees are loaded, the jam sounds yummy!
Oh lads, what a lot of hard work. Well done and good luck with the next project.😊💕😊
What a beautiful still life behind you!
Such abundance of fruit and flowers! Inspiring! Peach and fig chutney? Plum and fig chutney? Beautiful flavors!
At least there is plenty of fruit for both you and the wild life, lol. When we had a huge vegtable garden, it was a race to see who got what.
Nature's Bounty is a blessing, getting ready to harvest here in NW Indiana, tomatoes, peppers, radishes and cucumbers for round one, usually lucky enough for multiple and Brussels Sprouts in the fall!
Its a good job you like to keep busy always up to something ❤
