Celebrating THANKSGIVING in FRANCE

- Welcome back to Dreaming of a Chateau!
This autumn, we start to finally feel like the Chateau is becoming home. Our guests and painters have gone, the major refurbishment work has subsided for the time being, and we three (Maruca, Caroline and Julia) are settling in for a autumn and winter season just the three of us. Robert and Penelope are still in San Diego until the new year, wrapping up their work and applying to their own french visas.
In this episode, we receive the Del Valle side of the family, aunt Carmen and cousin Fernando, who are visiting the Chateau for the first time to celebrate Thanksgiving.
We meet Abigail Carter of the Château Chronicles, whose new Chateau home is not too far from us in Agen, France. She comes to visit us with her mother in law and pup, and after a tour of the Chateau, we sit down to a lovely afternoon tea. Follow her adventures at:
/ @chateauchronicles
Join us as we visit our favorite local market, take in the delights of Angouleme, start shopping for Christmas decorations, and prepare a delicious Thanksgiving Feast- bringing some American traditions to this French Chateau.
These are the adventures of Julia, her partner Caroline, her sister Penelope and her parents Maruca and Robert; an American family taking a leap of faith, living out a long-awaited dream.
Chateau de Puy Vidal is a medieval fortress turned renaissance Castle, and is located in the Charente region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, France. This channel is dedicated to our love of chateaux, old stones, magic, family and history. We share with you our process of applying to visas, setting up a business, purchasing a property sight unseen during COVID all before moving across the world. What happens when your dreams come true?

Gracious beautiful ladies, your videos are a feast of calm for the mind and soul.
You have made a beautiful, restful, nest, with a sumptuous loving kitchen and dining area. It has your magic touch and the chateau is filled with your laughter and love.
This is the most beautiful chateau I have ever seen, its like watching a movie set
How wonderful! Lady's, I love your aunt's taste! What beautiful and elegant colors she brought to the table! I am going to have to redo my condo if I ever get back into the building. I am so full if joy that she came and you did a feature of her and her talent! I still think you ladies have the most beautiful chateau I have seen so far! I hope someday to get to see more of what you may do with your property! Best of luck and happy holidays to you all! Love from Nashville, Tennessee!
I loved this video more than any so far. You guys seem so much more relaxed and natural. It's a totally authentic feel...and I love the whole thing!!
Yes me too ❤️❣️❤️
Maruca , I LOVE your sense of style - all your outfits & even your home working clothes.
You are so well put together , beautifully-coordinated , so stylish , chic & sophisticated.
I will always observe your OOTD & I would even freeze the frame to scan what you are wearing from head to toe , even your handbag 👜 🤩😍😉🫠
Your sister is such a stylish dresser too - I guess it runs in your artistic family 😃😁
💕WOW WOW WOW Those wallpapers were superb & will look stunning in the right rooms within your chateau💕The way your aunt is able to explain the wallpapers & colours was brilliant to watch & listen to💕
Castle is Spectacular!! Love the Sisters! Your Mom is so pretty! Going to copy her hair!
Totally agree her mom is stunning!
I was thrilled to see your post. You ladies are so talented. Thank you for all of the time and effort filming and editing this Beautiful film.
Wow! Your aunt has fabulous taste
Love Venice paper for elevator!
Your dear Aunt is delightful! How wonderful to have her visiting.. such lovely taste!
I continue to be blown away by your channel. I am still trying to sort out who is who and what the relationships are between them. Especially with various relatives visiting. …. Such a great family and group of friends but it can be challenging to keep it straight in my mind. Guess I’m feeling my age a bit, (78)! Love your (Aunt ?) her color and wallpaper design seminar was fascinating. I think her suggestions for your beautiful Chateau Puy Vadal is “spot on” …. how’s that for modern vernacular? I also watch Stephanie at Chateau LaLande and admire all her historical knowledge on this style of wallpaper. I don’t think you can have enough of this type of content - thus you are, in my opinion, making great marketing and business decisions … hats off to the lady, (or is it ladies), of the Chateau …! Watching from PA, USA.
Wow...the chateau is even more gorgeous standing amongst the colours of Autumn. It just has a sense of warmth and relaxing aura. Just stunning. 🥰🥰❤
Also seeing Abigail there!! Oml she has such a wonderful vlog. The views from her chateau are stunning 😍. She is such a lovely person ❤
And your aunt is just another level of wow...her ease in choosing colours and papers and her design and the way she takes a room and "boom" a picture arises full of colour and tastefully done. I wish I could do that . Simply amazing 🥰🥰🥰
Such a wonderful autumn vlog. Brilliant 🥰❤❤ loved it immensely
Your video quality is getting better with each video you make! Totally amazing! You also seem a lot more relaxed behind the camera. One recommendation I would make is to not cut off the speaking in the videos, I noticed you cut to a different clip sometimes mid sentance. The one clip with your aunt explaining about the wallpaper was cut off and I really was interested to hear what she was saying. Just a recommendation, no criticism at all :)
Merry Christmas! We don’t get enough of you all and now your closing up? Heartbreaking, just love your wonderful family. Big loss till Spring 😢
Dear Susan, we aren’t going anywhere! We will be here all winter ❄️🏰😉 Keep an eye out for Christmas video later this week 🍷
@@ladyofthechateau I’m so happy! And glad to know you have feathered your nest for the Winter!
You are such lovely people and the perfect caretakers for this beautiful piece of history! I look forward to hearing and seeing more of your adventures. Happy Hollidays to you and those you love ❤️
I rarely comment, but I truly think the paints and colors of the inside of the chateau are perfectly perfect, just the way they are. The interior colors express the mood perfectly from the sky and the gardens, as well as the exterior of the chateau and shutters, and needs no redecoration IMO.
I love your videos and the journey you’re all on. Happy holidays
Everything is so lovely! The tablescape at the end is enchanting 💕 you are creating a fairytale! Much love to you all ❤️
HA! The cat in the corner on the mini fridge made me laugh out loud! 😂
So happy to see you all again. Love watching your blogs Tell your Mom she looks great! Loved meeting your Aunt. She is very knowledgable in interior design. I loved all the wallpapers with the beautiful jewel tone colors. She knows what she's talking about. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
Fabulous vlog, thank you, my husband likes to point out what has to be done, not what has already been done, I know the feeling, great to see your aunty xxx
Hahaha love it!
If you continue this quality of content, I can foresee an enormous influx of viewers and patrons. It's just a pleasure to watch the group of you as you learn and develop in front of our eyes. I really appreciate how you are explaining and showing us your thought processes too. Maruca's art display deserves a closer look, and I'd love to learn more about her art journey. We've only seen hints of her talent...and she obviously has many talents, judging from her tastes in design and cooking! This video has been a wonderful experience for the viewer, because you are all becoming so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. It just allows your personalities and warmth to show through. I'm so inspired by your grit and creativity. Well done ladies!!
🤩🤩
Love how you all get to experience your chateau with each visitor, like it is your first time seeing it.
And the vines changing colors is just magical!!!
Shock and awe is all I can say. What you all have accomplished is incredible! Just love the ideas your aunt had for the future- so many beautiful choices. Don't know how your channel fell off my notices but that's not happening ever again! This vlog was such a treat!
You Aunt is fabulous, great ideas that ochre and purple, I hope you go for it. Would love to see what that looks like
Fireplaces are direct avenues for heat loss. Next is windows and doors. New Chateau owners feel keeping the wooden doors shutters and single pane windows in tact are a necessity for the historical value of the Chateau, replacing them with modern energy savings replacements is the better way to go. It all depends on how much money you can afford to loose every year in heating costs.
Bonne question mais en France on a un proverbe quand on aime on ne compte PAS.
I was just thinking about you as I never heard back about upcoming workshops and hadn’t seen one of your vlogs in a while. I did write to your website. Hope you rest and enjoy. I look forward to hearing more from you. Seasons greetings.
Dear Caryn, I’m so sorry we missed your email! I will double check our inbox. Just confirming you have our email: admin@ladyofthechateau.com
We will be posting our next workshops on social media and our website once we launch!
23:14 Beautiful artwork of the château!
Your chateau is spectacular! Your aunt is quite fascinating and lovely. The wallpapers are stunning and to hear her describe them, I could have listened for hours. Your mom set a beautiful Thanksgiving table. Elegant ladies who all have an eye for art and beauty. Your videos are so relaxing. Have a wonderful time away, and a very Merry Christmas. xx
Wonderful Ladies. Have a Wonderful Christmas. Xx 😘🎄🎁☃️🎅
What a wonderful video! And what a charming family you all are. The interior advice from your aunt is really excellent and I can’t wait for you to begin implementing some of her suggestions. I enjoy every one of your videos. Many thanks!
Wow - so many exciting possibilities! So great to have your aunt's expertise. Agree that having your own apartment "far from the madding crowd" is important. ¡Feliz Navidad y Prospero Año Nuevo!
Love your china room! The whole place is just beautiful!Merry Christmas🎄
Gosh! I LOVED this episode. I can’t even begin to pick a favorite part! Having family is always so important and your aunt has fantastic style. I loved her wallpaper ideas. Can’t wait to see y’all’s new apartment area. I know what you mean about big rooms. You really feel lost. My grandmother’s house had huge rooms and high ceilings. They had the ceiling lowered to 9 feet in the den/kitchen area and it was much cozier. I just loved what y’all have done! So good🥳
What a great episode, you keep on getting better each time 💕The fact that your videos are a bit longer than most other Château channels is definitely one of your USP and you managed to find the right pace and flow. Wishing you all a beautiful and relaxing Christmas time.
Merry Christmas to you all beautiful family ❤️
The landscape is so beautiful 🤩
j’adore from sheboygan wisconsin 💖💖💖
I haven't watched all your shows but so far wonderful. I couldn't help noticing the pollard trees needed trimming. They are Si distinctive. Hope the gardeners can do it soon. Your grounds are beautiful and unlike many with chateaux you had a plan and you talked to people who are doing well like Stephanie. Good job.
Fantastic vlog….so interesting and entertaining
Hola buenas tardes desde Mexico. Me gusto oírlas hablar en español porq no lo hacen más seguido. Me encantaría porque en inglés tengo q leerlas me es mas fácil para entender. Saludos

When your Aunt Carmen was showing you the wallpapers and came to the blue and white toile it reminded me of a paper by designer Johnson Hartig he designed for Schumacher called 'Plates and Platters'
He used it in his small dining room which is a little over the top but still very cool! You can show her and see it on his blog "At Home With Johnson Hartig in Los Angeles". ♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Wow, your aunt must have a channel. She knows so much.
I hope you have more videos coming soon ❤
You need fire screens for your fire places!
Another long video to languish in with wine or, this time, a cold beer! Julia, are you a writer as well as a filmmaker? You have a wonderful way with words. 💙
Thankyou Amazing Blog Lovely Ladies❤
Great video. Your Aunt made exquisite selections for the wall coverings. I enjoyed your video very much. Thank you!
A lovely video, thank you 😊
Lovely family.
Never been into a castle before!! It looks so cool! Thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore 💕
Stunning wallpapers I would have them all 🥰🥰
Another fantastic video, thank you and Merry Christmas ladies!
Dinner looks great!
Lovely video. Your channel is quickley becoming one of my favorites. Happy holidays ✨🎄
16:46 together forever ❤
such a relaxing video and family atmosphere. I especially love your feminine soothing voice, it just melts my ears.
Wow! Excellent video! You all deserve a rest this winter to do what you’d like.
Maruca the table looked so pretty. Maruca and sister are great cooks! Lucky you's !
So funny to see the calico cat on top of the fridge while introducing your aunt to us.
😍I can’t wait to see your wall paper choices going up!!!!
I hope you made it to Strasbourg!💖💖 I was there just last week…….I love it when a whole town smells like hot spiced wine!🍷🍷😋 (the xmas market lasts a whole month. As one of the oldest & most popular xmas markets in Europe, it can get very crowded so I recommend going on a weekday)💕 Strasbourg is very picturesque in the springtime too!!🥰
Merry Christmas and wishing you continued success for 2023..Hugs from Dept 64 Pays Basque.
I love the 1st gold wallpaper and the other styles your talented Aunt recommended.
Great to see Abigail there with her mom. I wish you all Merry Christmas!
ii love your furniture. especially those i saw near and around the blue iron table set.
A most enjoyable time spent with you and your family and friends - lovely wall paper books - scrumptious meals - thank you for sharing from Australia.
We need daily vlogs 😍😍😍 Thank you for your videos!
Beautiful people and a beautiful place. Just watching your videos makes me feel as if I am there.
Thank you for the update! I was struck by the struggle to find your own space in the chateau. I never thought about that, but it is really important! I am glad you recognized the need and found the space to isolate and decompress a bit! I think it is good to recognize that your needs may change as your lives evolve at your chateau... nothing is forever... You will find what works for you and that is what matters! Lovely and varied video!!
I loved everything about this, especially the history of toile!
Beautiful video thoroughly enjoyable. I enjoyed the lesson on wallpapers very interesting thank you xx
What a wonderful vlog! So much packed into it. Merry Christmas to you all xxx
I wish you all a wonderful and restful holiday break!
So enjoyable to see such a different lifestyle, thank you ladies!
Excellent video content, always fun to see!
Amo las ideas que les trajo su tía! Me encantaría ver cómo van quedando las cosas, igualmente el lugar ya parece expectacular! Cariños desde Argentina
I do hope Stephanie sees your interesting vlog as she so enjoys the history of wallpaper and fabrics.
It was a most absorbing and it was nice seeing some of your family. I wonder why your Aunt spoke two languages when discussing items? Not nosey just interested. Have a good trip back to USA.🇬🇧🇬🇧🍷🍷
What a lovely surprise to see this new video. Even the day to day life at the chateau is a delight. Hope to see at least one more before you have to return to the States. 🙁
Thank you so much Kathy! Our title may be misleading-but we aren’t heading back to the states! We just meant we are closing down the guest areas of the chateau and embracing it as just a family home this winter! There will be plenty more videos:)))
@@ladyofthechateau Oh I'm so happy to hear that you are staying. (And more videos to come!) I guess when you said at the beginning of this video that you didn't ever want to leave, I took that to mean you were leaving. I'll have to pay closer attention on the next video. Of all the Chateau's that I have seen on the youtube channels, yours is my favorite. I will have to come to one of your retreats to see it for myself......but yoga won't be the one. Haha
Stunning château
Love this video ❤
Happy Holidays to you all!
What a great vlog
Excellent video! 🤩
So fun to see your family and all of you enjoying yourselves. Now that you’ve shared so much about your petite apartment we must see it please!
Yes ❣️ Can't wait ❤️
I love seeing the close , loving , warm , fun , funny relationship among your whole family.
And all of you are so respectful, polite , well- mannered , caring & just the kindest people.
MARUCA 💝 You are one SPECIAL LADY & I can see how well you have RAISED & MOULDED all of the young ones with your excellent role modeling.
Your Thanksgiving table looked beautiful flanked by the lovely fireplace. Nice way to dine!
Merry Christmas to you all, from Norway!🇳🇴🎄🤗❤️
Looks like you guys are getting lots of inspiration.
Missed you guys! The chateau looks amazing with the leaves changing and lived in, can’t wait to see what is like for you guys living in it through this magical season 🎄
I love how artistic your whole family is. Each with their own style , but with such art to see the possibilities of light, color and design for such a magnificent chateau. ❤
your place is absolutely stunning.. you knocked it out of the park girls!! now is the time for introspection and quiet, of course whilst feeding new plans..
Love Love Love watching your videos! The chateau is stunning and the hard work you ladies have done so far is amazing. What a wonderful legacy for the future of the family and the chateau. Merry Christmas
Such an amazing piece of property you have. Beautiful outside and in. Discovering how you need to live there will improve every aspect of your lives. I'm so happy for you both. Thank you for your honesty and openness. I pray you have a wonderful time of rental this wintertime. Pamper yourselves, you've earned it. Blessings!
Also, love your dog's name.
Merry Xmas to your family hope 2023 is all you wish for.🎄
Your tia is so sweet!! I love her taste in interior design!! I'm so happy we're able to celebrate Thanksgiving with other family members since your sister and dad are not France! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous Chateau with us!! Feliz Navidad y muy Feliz Año Nuevo!!
I hope you’re able to make more videos soon. I can see how hard you’ve worked and you summed it up very well. Great job so far! 💗 Hello from Allentown, Pa.
Happy Christmas to you all, enjoy having the chateau to yourselves for a while, relax, embrace the season and restore in readiness for 2023.
