Vivian and Simon on the grandest tour. Their motto for this journey is clearly just Amour ! Chenonceau as backdrop serves their purpose well. The story of this castle is interesting to tell. They wander in the footsteps of sovereign queens of old. Whose lives meant often hardship, but sparkles now like gold. Though Vivian had no wooing, no courtier on his knees. Simon clearly conquers her heart with certain ease. 👩🏼❤️👨🏻
Well it’s official… you have made my day! Thank you!!! Grinning from ear to ear and can’t wait to show Simon! Merci beaucoup pour la poésie! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🏰🏰🏰🏰💖💖
Hi Vivienne and Simon, "wow" no words, this place was so stunning, from the architecture to the garden, and the parks, just magnificent. What a beautiful day out for two. Thank you so much for bringing us with you, it was lovely to get away. Love from N.Y.
I enjoy your vlogs for many reasons. You and Simon get a lot done and always with your own hard work and lovely style. You meet with other chateau owners, have adventures and shop together. Most of all you are a charming couple.
I cannot thank you enough for taking us on this tour this morning! I would dearly love to visit the Loire Valley, but this will definitely do for now. Magnificent! ♥️
It is my pleasure and we are so happy you are joining us. I will definitely check out your channel! Sharing your story with others will bring you great joy and healing (I speak from experience). xxx🏰💖
I look forward to your video's because I look forward to you and Simon. Handsome English Gentleman and his gorgeous loving wife. You are my favorite Chateau couple. You respect each other and the love shines through. I enjoyed the Chateau tour. TY
There’s now another destination on my bucket list of French places to visit! It was so beautifully presented by you both! I had a laugh when Simon couldn’t resist touching all the copper in the kitchen! Thanks for showing this stunning & romantic chateau. Happy Easter!
I just love the way the two of you look at each other when you speak to each other. That is an awesome love. Thank you for the chateau. It is beautiful. 😍😍
Made my Sunday - better than chocolate eggs! At the age of 14 I first read about the fascinating Diane de Poitiers - beautiful vlog. Thank you for sharing from Australia.
Hope you do not mind my saying this, but one thing I love most about both of you is that you are so very down to earth and "real" that means so much to me. You could be different am sure, and have a right to be that way, but you are not that type of people, I can see this. I truly love this so much! I noticed it with your sister and your daughter Dr Isabella. Thank you for being who you truly are, loving people! Could not help but see this in you, and it just does mean so much to come and enjoy the time with you on your vlogs. This just is something in people, a trait I like the most. It shines through! (That would be such fun if you could ever have such a chance to buy this Chateau too, and own it, what fun this would be, * but way to much work most likely as it is an undertaken, you would need help*) I realize under the circumstances it is not for sale and probably never would be, but that would be so very exciting in many ways though if it were a possibility! But guess ne Chateau at a time is probably enough for anyone? lol But the two of you know how to make things happen it does happen and can. We do need to always believe in miracles they say, correct, as that is how things do happen to many people by the faith they carry.
Wow!! That was absolutely spectacular! When you and Simon went into the kitchens I was mesmerized. All that beautiful copper and antique and ancient cookware. The tapestries were stunning. Imagine the work and time it took to make just one of them. And the gardens were simply breathtaking. Thank you both so much for treating us to a wonderful tour of that stunning Chateau. 😍😍
Thank you for sharing this tour. About 20 years ago my husband and I visited this chateau. Gorgeous! We loved driving around the Loire Valley countryside. This is a beautiful area of France.
Aha, what a glorious Easter surprise to enjoy this morning! 🌺🌻🌷🌸Experiencing magnificent beauty and your love for each other just is everything we need to feed our souls! Sending you both blessings from the Beach in New Jersey.❤️🇫🇷❤️🇺🇸❤️
Spent a lovely Sunday in Chenonceau in January. So beautiful. Loved the little chapel. All the Xmas decorations were still there and it was magnificent. Thanks for bringing back some happy memories.
Thanks a lot for a chance to meet you again! Wherever you go, whatever you say - just watching both of you smiling with happiness makes my life brighter and I really do forget about all the routine . We should appreciate every moment of life!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! CHENONCEAU is one of my favorite LOIRE Chateaux. The scale, incredible architecture, the history and amazing gardens, which even just awakening to Spring are magnificent, there is beauty for all the senses. Even the pigeons on the windowsill were not immune to the magic of Chenonceau. Thank you Vivienne and Simon for being part of my morning coffee with this magnificent Chateau tour! A bientot!
DIVINE, every inch. I remember being there and wondering if I could possibly remember how glorious the countryside, Chateau, moat, ceilings, parterre gardens, tapestries are. Thanks for a lovely vlog, you do them exquisitely. I am in awe of the French with their creativity in flower arranging. I took so many photos!
Thank you so much for this fabulous vlog. The beautiful music, the grounds of the chateau and stunning interior took me back to a visit there over 20 years ago. Enjoyed your history relating as well! Best wishes from fans in Canada.
One of my favorite Chateaus, we used to live down the street and this was our walk for the day. Its gorgeous from the other side of the river, where you can picnic and see it in full from the other side. I love the ladies of Chenonceau
This brings back memories of being with my dear Father in law, who took us there and explained all the History as he was very knowledgeable on French history. We sat in the gardens (in the summer) while he told us all about the mistress and the Queens.
Wonderful to see Chenonceau. On my one and, sadly, only visit to France, I visited this incredible chateau. I can still smell the lavender from the gardens there. ❤
I can’t believe my luck! Finding myself unable to go to sleep despite the late hour (or should I say very early morning over here) I reached for my ipad to peruse until my eyes eventually got heavy.😅 And what an exciting surprise I got seeing your notification upon opening Vivienne. You and Simon took us on a delightful tour of this stunning Chateau and grounds as only you can do. It was gorgeous both inside and out, thank you for sharing. I did love how the stables were repurposed as cafe seating too, because I feel so sad when these horse boxes (?) get taken out from some of the Chateaus that have old stables. I wish you all a very happy Easter full of blessings. 🙏🏻✝️🐣🐰🏰❤️
What a beautiful chateau. It seems to me that the charm of this place is it's simplicity. The rooms appear minimalistic with what you need but not lots of overwhelming textiles or colours that fight for your attention. Lots of repetitive elements both inside and in the garden. Absolutely gorgeous. Thankyou for showing us this chateau . ❤ from NZ.
I almost didn't want to watch because my husband and I were supposed to be on our trip there and our itinerary included Chenonceau but due to the strikes & protests we postponed it indefinitely. 😢 I'm really glad I watched it though and I hope to get there soon! 😊 Cheers to the French people. I'm not upset they are speaking out...just disappointed we have to wait.
Hi Dana, I do understand your concern for travel, but so please reassure your husband that it’s actually very safe here, despite what the news makes it look like, and even more so outside of Paris. I do hope you can make it over soon! Meanwhile, we are very happy you are joining us! 🥰🏰💖
@Chateau Love We booked just a few days ago for travel next month! I'm so excited!! We were worried we wouldn't be able to get around if transportation was on strike but we'll take our chances and if we get stuck in Paris, well how bad can that be?! 😉
Bonjour Vivienne and Simon! This is so exciting to be able to share this trip with you both! I just love anything Medici. To think I could ever have an opportunity to see such a very special and yes, fairytale Castle like this, It is totally unbelievable. I know in person it is impossible, for me and my husband, anyway, So, am thankful you have set this aside for us to journey along. What a nice way to spend a Sunday!
Thanks for the tour! I always appreciate the way you film your tours, with much information and great attention to details. I also appreciate how the canopy beds are not overdone with artwork above the bed. I can appreciate the simplicity of the fabric alone. The gardens are exquisite even at this time of year.
Thanks for the wonderful tour of Château Chenonceau. I've wanted to visit since first seeing photos of it decades ago. I enjoyed every moment of it. I hope you got some invaluable design hints too. Keep spreading your Château Love!💋 Sending mid-century ❤ from Texas!
Vivian & Simon : you are a charming, beautiful couple ! And I so admire what you have done & are doing with your lives ! You enjoy the beauty & blessings of Life !! My Ideal Life !CONGRATULATIONS ! I am a Filipina, an aficionado of history, art & architecture & married to a very learned French-educated American. 8 years ago, we purchased a now-123-year-old farmer’s villa in Portugal. We worked for years to restore & improve it. We knew we were mere stewards of a cultural heritage.
What a treasure you have gifted us in showing us Chenonceau! It is always included in the photos of the prominent chateaux of the the Loire Valley. Thank you so much for taking us faraway admirers INSIDE and telling us such interesting history. Well done and you two are soo enjoyable together! Patricia
Cyd in the USA. I had to laugh when you told your husband to "stop touching things" :-) I had been telling him that all through the chateau. I know his enthusiasm got the best of him. When we visited this chateau there were attendants everywhere who reminded visitors "please do not touch" in several languages. Thank you so much for this reminder of our day at Chateau Chenonceau.
Ahahahaha the Curtis connection! Good perspective you two; often vlogs don't show the lead up to the castle showing the grounds which are expansive in size and really dwarf the chateau. Beautiful even without flowers. OMG a the interior you captured. Thank you for this tour complete with wooing pidgeons!!! Wow, wow, wow!!! You two are two of my faves, xo
You two give the most delightful tours and explanations of the places you visit and take us along. So thank you, thank you! I also adore the love that exudes between the two of you. You are very special❤️❤️🇨🇦
Hi Vivian & Simon, Loved the tour of Chateau CHENONCEAU. What Simon called he "Suggestion Box" is most likely for salt, an expensive item even for royalty back then. The gardens must be wonderful to see during summer in all their splendor. Thank you for sharing. Mark & Scott
I was hoping you would take me into the chapel. I was lucky enough to visit many years ago. When I went to the chapel, the noise of buzzing like a swarm of bees was over whelming! No one else could hear them. I had to remove myself. I believe there is a portal or some physic energy in the chapel. The castle definitely has a very feminine feel to it. I bought and still have a tapestry cushion depicting the castle in the guest shop. Thank you 🙏
What a beautiful tour you took us on. I truly love when you include historical facts. I'm off to the library to find some books to dream on. Thank you for yet another introduction into French history. You both are so sweet.
Simon, the big wooden box in the kitchen was for keeping the salt. Salt was very expensive and precious at the time and was heavily taxed by the royal tax officers. Salt was used to preserve meat, hence its importance. There were smugglers and traffic for salt along centuries :)
Bonjour Vivienne and Simon hugs and kisses what a treat the Chateau CHENONCEAU absolutely spectacular the rooms lovely flowers rich history Simon stop touching just adorable I can see you both locked in an embrace on the stairway😀💜The grand hallway just breathtaking I’m sure you’ll fit in there Vivienne quite comfortably my love Simon a concubine you both had me laughing as always your playful energy lights up your videos😍😍👌Quiches cheese at the Chateau stables a perfect end to a fabulous day and the Sphinx always a touch of Egypt Amore have a fabulous Easter my darlings and Thankyou for the joy you bring enchante💖💖😘😘👌👌🌟🌟🍸🍸
Love how you share the chateaux around you. Makes me look them up and research more of their histories. You have a way of sharing the information that makes it interesting, easy to understand and enjoyable. And your filming is great. Not rushed or bumby. Fluid. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for taking me back twenty years to my first visit, and seeing how beautifully the Chateau is being taken care of today, certainly a must visit for all. Your vlog was marvellous. Great job. Marianne, Chicago. Happy Easter.
Looks so good after the renovation. Another fact :the bridge was meant to ride on horseback directly into the woods on the other side of river Cher for hunting. It was builded as a hunting castle.
Hi guys, hello lovely Vivienne darling! Looking stunning as ever. I love the tapestries and the little table is beautiful . Loved looking around the chateau it’s amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Sending you both love lisa xxx ❤😘👍
Absolutely beautiful ❤ I love the beautiful flower arrangements in the rooms, so well done. And Simon, I didn’t know you where a man who had to touch everything 😂, I was waiting for Vivienne to smack your hand any minute 😉 Thank you so much for bringing us along with you. This gives us the opportunity to see all these magnificent places that we might not be able to travel to ourselves ❤
The two of you are most gracious to be with on your adventures. Your presentation is superb and very informative. Thank you for taking your time to share your life adventures with us.❤
My favorite chateau as well.....adore the sweet gate house....quite amazing! This chateau ALWAYS has the more gorgeous fresh floral arrangements! HUGE! Spent a lot of time photographing all these lovely arrangements. I even purchased a book from the gift shop specifically devoted to the floral arrangements! It's also great fun to leave the chateau....and drive back across the road behide the chateau, across the river and view her from the other side. No wonder, she is a Loire Valley Queen! Cheers!
Vivianne, what an amazing Chateau. I think it's a perfect place for a getaway women's weekend!😄 Although we would miss handsome Simon and his finger prints❤ What an amazingly beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this with us!❤
What a lovely tour of this magnificent chateau. I can see why it’s a favorite. Love the history lesson as well. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Easter 🐇🐰🐣
Just amazing. I couldn't help but wonder how different the inside would be back in the day with only candles to light the interior. Maybe they had an early bedtime for that reason.
So much effort and thought has been put into making this a most enjoyable, immersive visit of this unique Loire chateau ,that it was so easy to imagine being there with you. The interior and surrounding grounds are indeed glorious, but I have always found parterre gardens unnecessarily contrived and controlling of the true beauty of plants and nature, which often gets it far more right than man.
Never really comment but had to today. Absolutely love this place!! I want to visit some day for sure. Love your videos and that sunset. Biggest hugs from Arkansas
Beautiful visit. Thank you. I remember the interlocking initials, was looking for them on the fireplaces. A beautiful, very famous spot. Didn't know about the recent history, and the demarcation line... very interesting. Merci !
What a wonderful Easter surprise. The chateau is beautiful and the gardens very formal. What surprised me was that the queens and Diane de Poitiers preferred pared down decorations compared to Versailles. Tapestries and beautiful beds for their romantic or obligatory duties! No frivolity. As if they designed the chateau for their husbands or paramour visiting to spend some time hunting with friends. Thank you for a superb vlog. Wishing you a very Happy Easter! Hugs from us, Marjory and Princess Dolly 💖💖
Oh wow I love it what a stunning place seems huge deff wouldn’t like to clean it esp all those tiny panes of glass but would love to see it thank you for sharing ❤❤

Vivian and Simon on the grandest tour.
Their motto for this journey is clearly just Amour !
Chenonceau as backdrop serves their purpose well.
The story of this castle is interesting to tell.
They wander in the footsteps of sovereign queens of old.
Whose lives meant often hardship, but sparkles now like gold.
Though Vivian had no wooing, no courtier on his knees.
Simon clearly conquers her heart with certain ease. 👩🏼❤️👨🏻

😂😂So happy you were able to join us! Simon forgets that not all chateaux belong to our mates and he can’t just make himself comfortable! 😁😁🏰💖
Vivian an Simon you are
So wonderful a couple
Who loves exquisite
Things. And that is
Special!
Wow wow that window surround 😮❤ absolutely gorgeous
Ahahahaha the Curtis connection! Good perspective you two; often vlogs don't show the lead up to the castle showing the grounds which are expansive in size and really dwarf the chateau. Beautiful even without flowers. OMG a the interior you captured. Thank you for this tour complete with wooing pidgeons!!! Wow, wow, wow!!! You two are two of my faves, xo

Wow ,what a nice surprise. Happy Easter. 🐰🐰🐰
It's certainly a magical place for anyone to visit, stunning inside and out thank you for taking us on your visit to the magnificent place 💕🌼🤗
Staying in Chenonceau in the Winter must have been FREEZING, surrounded by all that water!😢!😢😮😮. It would be my Summer chateau.❤

Can’t wait to visit this castle 🏰
Thank you for sharing your video.

Looks so good after the renovation. Another fact :the bridge was meant to ride on horseback directly into the woods on the other side of river Cher for hunting. It was builded as a hunting castle.
`Loved this tour, everything about it. Your music the descriptions. Almost like being there!!! Thanks so much.
That has set me up for the day. Just stunning thank you thank you for the tour. Now back to reality got to go shopping 😢😢 till the next video xx

Thank you so much for bringing us along with you. This gives us the opportunity to see all these magnificent places that we might not be able to travel to ourselves ❤
🥰🏰💖
So Lovely and so well presented. Thank you for sharing.
The two of you are most gracious to be with on your adventures. Your presentation is superb and very informative. Thank you for taking your time to share your life adventures with us.❤
Just a beautiful castle. Just a beautiful couple you two are!! Lots of love from Tennessee.
Amazing. Love that it straddles the river. Renovation is spectacular.
What beautiful gardens. Thanks for sharing. Love you both 😊❤❤
Thank you for the tour. Beautiful ❤️
My favorite chateau as well.....adore the sweet gate house....quite amazing! This chateau ALWAYS has the more gorgeous fresh floral arrangements! HUGE! Spent a lot of time photographing all these lovely arrangements. I even purchased a book from the gift shop specifically devoted to the floral arrangements! It's also great fun to leave the chateau....and drive back across the road behide the chateau, across the river and view her from the other side. No wonder, she is a Loire Valley Queen! Cheers!
I too love the floral arrangements so much! I think they might be the best in the Loire! 🏰💖
Vivianne, what an amazing Chateau. I think it's a perfect place for a getaway women's weekend!😄
Although we would miss handsome Simon and his finger prints❤
What an amazingly beautiful place. Thank you for sharing this with us!❤
Simon would be very happy to be left at home for a quiet day without DIY while the ladies go chateau hopping!! 😂😂🏰💖
Happy Easter ✝️🐰🐤🐤☦🙏🌷🐣🐤from Australia
Wonderful tour. Thanks to the both of you. Happy Easter
What a stunning chateau! I hope to see it myself one day! Thank you for taking us with you!
What a lovely tour of this magnificent chateau. I can see why it’s a favorite. Love the history lesson as well. Thanks for taking us along. Happy Easter 🐇🐰🐣
Thank you and to you, Rosemarie! 🥰🏰💖
Just amazing. I couldn't help but wonder how different the inside would be back in the day with only candles to light the interior. Maybe they had an early bedtime for that reason.
Thank you….you two are the nicest!!
So much effort and thought has been put into making this a most enjoyable, immersive visit of this unique Loire chateau ,that it was so easy to imagine being there with you.
The interior and surrounding grounds are indeed glorious, but I have always found parterre gardens unnecessarily contrived and controlling of the true beauty of plants and nature, which often gets it far more right than man.
Thank you so much. I agree about nature. I love a formal garden but also seeing wildflowers by the side of the road makes my heart sing! 🥰🏰💖
Thank you for such a romantic, informative tour. It was beautiful but k ow we love your chateau. 😊
Never really comment but had to today. Absolutely love this place!! I want to visit some day for sure. Love your videos and that sunset. Biggest hugs from Arkansas
Thank you, Kimberly! I have a very soft spot for Arkansas as my grandparents were from Hot Springs. 🥰🏰💖
Two of the best tour guides ever !
Beautiful visit. Thank you. I remember the interlocking initials, was looking for them on the fireplaces. A beautiful, very famous spot. Didn't know about the recent history, and the demarcation line... very interesting. Merci !
What a wonderful Easter surprise. The chateau is beautiful and the gardens very formal. What surprised me was that the queens and Diane de Poitiers preferred pared down decorations compared to Versailles. Tapestries and beautiful beds for their romantic or obligatory duties! No frivolity. As if they designed the chateau for their husbands or paramour visiting to spend some time hunting with friends. Thank you for a superb vlog. Wishing you a very Happy Easter! Hugs from us, Marjory and Princess Dolly 💖💖
