@Jo Davidson Totally agree something positive has come out of these lockdowns, we can choose through RUclips, to watch content we want, not the drivel that’s repeatedly rolled out on MSM! 👍
Here here 🙌 👏
So true
EXACTLY! ... Your comment brought tears to my heart. Just hours ago I was trying to find these words to explain the magic of Stephanie and Lalande to someone I haven't spoken to at length for a year.
Well done Jo!
❤️
I concur
“It was so cold!” Philip: “I know I was there” 😂 You two are enjoyable to listen to.
Surely $ 24000 per month Patreon donations will allow the ever present freezing conditions to be addressed
Such a great friendship, I love them together, hope he never leaves.
25:18, he has such a crush on her...
I just love how supportive these château owners are. Stephanie as always is so generous and kind. So inspiring!
So true
Jip, together they are stronger, especially with the current worldwide situation.
Phillip buying gloves that match Stephanie's scarf is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Someone put the Phillip model back into production.
Yes! He's such a gentleman and obviously adores Stephanie. Hope he stays a long time!
Idk, he seems a bit too infatuated with Stephanie. It's a bit uncomfortable sometimes.
I'd like to trade my current model in for one lol. Sometimes they just tick u off and a trade in or trade up sounds lovely
Phillip is a gentleman and seems truly only interested in helping Stephanie and learning from her.
@@seu6238 : Phillip is kind to everyone. I remember when he bought a pair of shoes/boots for Cat. There's nothing uncomfortable about that.
What a gentleman you are Phillip, you braved the cold recently waiting in a freezing cold car waiting for Stephanie outside the hospital and now you saved her from the cold when you bought her the gloves. You're a top man.
I love that the St Catherine cathedral has that beautiful nativity that features a potter. I will make you some nativity hedgehogs from clay if you can wait a bit for them to be created bisqued and fired.
Philipp playing the piano is so atmospheric. Classy all around. They can cook,sing, etc.
@@elainejohnson796 wow.
@@elainejohnson796 whatever,it just sounds beautiful
@@elainejohnson796 I don’t complicate my life judging if he can play it properly or not.The sound of the keys echoing in that room on a rainy day gives it character and made me smile. This channel is an oasis for me during this uncertain times.
does anyone know what piece he is playing?
Phillip, you're the best buying those gloves, and they match perfectly !!!!
Just love how supportive every chateau owner is to each other, and so pleased to be part of the fantastic community of "virtual friends" from all around the world that follows and supports them too. :)
Absolutely 😊 I so look forward to all these châteaux videos and the chats and comments 😊🏰🏰
@@katie.edwards :) look forward to speaking to you later. You ok Katie?
@@philn9830 I'm good thanks 😀 Had a mindfulness session on Zoom this morning, so I've had a nice relaxing day 😊 Hope you're well
@@katie.edwards all good thanks - see you on the chats tonight?
@@philn9830 Yes see you later 😊
Anna and Phillip’s chateau is so classy. Love how you all support each other and learn new ideas that you may not of thought of. Can’t wait to see the next instalment. Phillips glove present shows just how thoughtful he is, Stephanie is so lucky to have him as a friend. 💕
Elaine, I’m sure Anna and Phillip know it was only praise I was intending there house is so beautiful.
having or showing class: such as. a : elegant, stylish a classy clientele a classy hotel. b : having or reflecting high standards of personal behavior a classy guy a classy gesture. c : admirably skillful and graceful a classy outfielder.
Phillip's piano playing ~ heavenly. The Brocante ~ I could have stayed for hours. The church ~ was dreamy .. especially with hedgehogs! Golden Gloves WOW! Paul Vera Painting was gorgeous!! That's it ... I'm not going to be happy till you win Creator Of The Year!!!
What I love about Phillip is his child-like joy when he experiences beauty or little creatures. He has such an appreciation for Architecture and Decor. And he is a lovely pianist. I enjoy his talents. Anna and her Phillipp are wonderful and so authentic in presentation of their family and personal relationship. Their Chateau is so comfortable and appealing, I particularly love the teal salon. Magnificent Tour. Charming Hosts and, of course our beautiful Stephanie and Marie and our own Phillip. Thank you one and all.
Yes, well said
I don’t like that. He’s too childish and it’s repetitive
In a world of youtube influencers, some who appear self centered and often self indulgent I ALWAYS enjoy your videos so very much Stephanie!!! Your generosity and kindness leap thru
The camera and restore my faith in altruism and graciousness. The lovely people you surround yourself with are just as you, I do believe your benevolence is catching😉 and you, Marie and Phillip are such a delight to watch no matter what you are doing! I so appreciate all the effort you put forth in all your videos and hope you continue to share your amazing life with us all, God’s blessings to you and yours always...with fondness, ML 💗
Phillip is such a class act and great addition to the chateau
Yes! Philip playing piano.....transported me to another time, perhaps the French Regency, women in low cut gowns of embroidered & brocaded silks & fans & men sporting wigs,bejeweled fingers and pumps with piano music floating through the rooms...
Striving to be more like Stephanie. She never moans or complains. She is so positive and always has a kind word for everyone and is just a genuine ray of sunshine. Love the Lalande life. You are all amazing people!
At 2:55 did anyone else think maybe Marie's flowers were going to catch fire?
YES! I was so panicked
Let's hope it was one of those LED candles!
YES!
Yes! Yikes!
Yes me too.
I just love Phillip! He is so kind and easy going ❤️
Phillip playing the piano and Marie putting together the flowers in a different chateau made me so happy! Loved the little town shops. Fun getaway 💗
💗💗💗
Loved that too but was terrified the bouquet was going to catch on fire from the candle on the mantle!!
Marie you OBVIOUSLY have a gift. Your arrangements get more lovely each time !!!!!
Stephanie, between you and Selmar the viewers are getting to see such beautiful little French towns and villages. Those vlogs are truly enjoyable and give a sense of being there with you.
I absolutely appreciate the respect you give to churches, Nativity scenes, and your chapel. Thank you for representing them honorably as your Grandmother taught you. It keeps me watching you!
Stephanie you are a real trooper, dispite the rain and how cold it was, you made this vlog so I interesting. Phillip finding you gloves to go with your scarf, wonderful. Your connections are growing and those of us who support you rejoice in your journey. Stay safe.
Such a young gentleman, super Philip, well done. WCL
Yes. Well done, Phillip! 💗
I had to explain to my 3 year old fan of your show that there is a long hair Philip and a short hair Philip. 😁
😂💗
💗💗💗
Along with all the Ians and Michaels 😊
@@Adriana_mg haha yes he knows who is who among them too!! The show starts mid day for us which is perfect tea and snack time with my boy. He can't quite yet tell Michael and his brother Billy apart yet when he hears their voices but he certainly puts on a huge smile when he hears Ryan's opening slogan. "Hello evvrrry one!"
@@marielvanhees9531 that is so cute! 😁
I Love how much you know about the History of this town. Your are very knowledgeable and beautiful inside and outside. Keep on the good job you and all your friends doing. God bless u all and be safe.
Yes, every time Stephanie goes on a journey and films such great vlogs, I keep thinking she's a bit like David Attenborough and could be considered a National Treasure! Of both England and France.
⚜️💗⚜️
how exciting, can't wait for the chateau-tour on sunday! i hope this is the beginning of a long friendship between lalande and le fleur :)
The church is so gorgeous 😍 Unbelievable that it was made completely without saws, just with axes!
Absolutely sublime, from start to finish, for so many reasons. The chateaux is absolutely stunning. The food all looked delicious and the table settings were perfection. Marie’s flower arrangements were exquisite. You all looked fabulous, and the feelings that emanated from every one of you were so harmonious and appreciative. The brocante was just brimming with such beautiful objects, and the town was achingly picturesque. I found Stephanie’s descriptive history about the town and the art that was born there to be thoroughly interesting, and I truly loved every painting shown. Absolutely sublime. 💗 Thank you for sharing this all with us. 💗
I was hoping so much that Steph would buy on of the vested deer heads. Camp. But also Lalande!
@@7ofthem And some people know the actual story of all Stephanie has done, on a small budget, and how far she’s brought her chateau. And some people see great beauty and enrichment in all the things Stephanie has done, but we certainly are different.
Oh, also, just because the other very lovely and kind chateau owners do not include filming of their enjoying entertainment and yes, even parties does not mean they don’t do so. Same for brocante and outlet shopping.
And I hope you watch Stephanie’s next vlog, where we get to see the undone parts of the gorgeous chateau and the conversation between the owners and Stephanie, where they tell her how impressed they are with all she has done and is doing.
Lamp shades - I’m sure that you could get one of your your father’s paintings Printed on fabric (find the perfect lampshade to re-cover first and determine the scale), and make a lamp shade with his art.
Thank you for always doing such a beautiful job on your vlog and being so cheerful and pleasant. It was a particularly difficult day and your excursion was a welcome distraction! It saddens me that there are people out there who try to tear you down when you are a such a ray of sunshine! Keep being you!
If Stephanie had been my history teacher in school I would have probably passed my grades!
So talented Philip, beautiful piano playing.
Yes, I love Pachelbel. Beautiful, Phillip💗
Lovely video! My husband came over to Québec, Canada from Honfleur when he was 10! His family lived in Blanc Mesnil on the outskirts of Paris. I can’t wait to show him this vlog this evening! And Samuel de Champlain! Never knew there is a plaque of him in Honfleur! I am so happy to see you all at Anna and Philip’s chateau! I love their chateau also! One day I would love to go there and to Lalande to visit with all you wonderful, joyful people!! Last time I was in France was for our honeymoon...42 years ago!!!
Oh thats soo very interesting
Had you been to Honfleur then?
I love their chateau. Its fresh paints and large windows are so inviting. They have put a modern spin on an historic building.
A dazzeling beautiful day....
Merci Jeri
Anna's painting of orange flowers in the hall are of Nasturtiums.
I was thinking that too.
Tasty in salads. Nice and spicy.
Yes..you can tell by the leaves.
And nasturtium plants give us capers as well 👍🏻
@@bonniesteinke6624 love capers...haaha
I spent a very happy week in Honfleur when my dear friend got married at the wooden church in city center, so nice to return with you.
Oh my goodness - 2nx viewer with direct ties to this beautiful city.
Being from the province of Québec, I was really excited to see Stephanie share a small part of our history! ☺️
Agreed! I'm always happy to learn and see more about my history.
Yes, Champlain is famous in the US Northern Midwest as well, along with Pére Marquette and Joliet!
this vid is pressed down w/ good measure. it is an example of a very professional informational, artful, and interest-driven segment. it consistently keeps the viewer engaged w/ both the commentator and the varied subjects covered. artists, enthusiasts, gardeners, woodworkers, historians, etc., will easily be satisfied w/ the tremendous depths of the information and the intellects of the presenters. in my view, she and her core group deserve all of their accolades. wonderful adventure through the eyes of the lens.
You live such an enchanting life. Thank you for bringing us along to enjoy it with you.
Anna and Philipp have a gorgeous (if a bit echo-y) home, the decoration of the rooms is really beautiful, Our Lalanders look as though they had a lovely time -I bet Stephanie was thinking 'if I had ceilings this high just Imagine the Christmas Tree I could get!
The wooden church was breathtaking! Can you imagine a wedding in there, all decked out with flowers, and the dappled light streaming through the stained glass windows? Thank you for sharing!
Even from a distance I can feel how warm and welcoming Anna and Philipp are. I'll definitely look forward to watching their channel!
I am so impressed by you, Stephanie! Most women would be worried about getting wet but you are so exuberant about showing us history and local sites that you put your own comfort second to everything else! Thank you. I loved Honfleur!
That was wonderful. From Philip playing the piano (more please) to the flowers and the tour. Then the chateau. Just perfecto. 👏👏
I love the bits of history that you share!
When I was in Bali for the second time I was with a family friend, He took me to an art gallery. He was thinking we would be in and out, but I was showing him how to look at art. We were there for 2 hours just engrossed at what we were looking at. On leaving he said he would never look at art the same way...I should say he was just 20 at the time, a young Balinese man learnt how special his homeland truely was that day...a perfect day
That's beautiful 💗
I always like when Stephanie interrupts Marie when she is creating floral art. We get to see her totally absorbed in her craft and I think it is so special. Hopefully it doesn't disturb Marie's process too much. Thank you both for allowing us to see those moments.
Has anyone ever noticed that Stephanie draws color themes to her with out realizing it. I’ve watched all of the present openings, and somehow, everything always works! Her positive energy is proof, kindness, encouragement, love and genuine enthusiasm will draw the same.
Anx Marie creating arrangements that look like Anna's first painting purchase...synchronicities
The law of attraction at it's finest 👍💞
I note that Marie kept her coat on before and during breakfast and whilst doing her flowers. In a previous vlog Anna said the rooms were cold and they didn't hear the rooms unless they had paying guests. Anna and her family have rooms up in attic where they mainly live and Philip installed heating up there.
Sandra Westley well the wood burner was working in the fire place but these chateaus are cold the rooms are so hung it’s very difficult to heat the. To normal houses, that’s why they have a season as in the summer, when the weather is warmer.
What a magical wonderful day even in the rain. I have to say I could feel that warm bath for you! Lol The churches we breathtaking as well!
Thanks for introducing us to the gorgeous wooden church!
Stephanie, you and Philip touch my heart.
Unable to travel, your visits outside the chateau are lovely, and Honfleur will be a must see for me.
And you acknowledged Samuel Di Champlain!....a man every Canadian knows!!!!!
Truly love you both! And Philip...the gloves...you break my heart. Keep strong the both of you! You bring comfort and kindness to many.
George Winston's Autumn - I recognized it when Philip played it at La Lande as well
Canon in d major pachelbel?
Your blogs are so professional now, I love them.
I meant vlogs! ☺️🙄
They are still so personal at the same time. Nothing fake.
Yes she moves the phone slowly so we don't get dizzy.
Love Stephanie and Philip out and about. I visited Honfleur in April 2019 and went into the wooden church, yes it was stunning. 💖
I absolutely loved the tour of the town of Honfleur. I pulled up Google Maps with extreme close up and followed along. Such fun!! Also, thank you Stephanie, for introducing me to Paul Vera. His art work is amazing.
Great idea!
What a treat! It was like a little day trip to rural France. As always....THANK YOU.
Thank you for this tour. Beautiful town and beautiful chateau. Philip playing the piano in that beautiful room was fantastic. Love listening to you Stephanie and learning about new things. Philip is so lovely, I hope he stays for a while. He is so in tune with Stephanie x
I love when Stephanie does history lessons :) and what a beautiful city and chateau!
Very pretty Chateau, it is interesting to see how they have used the historic chateau as a backdrop to their modern aesthetic. I do appreciate all their hard work and love of their chateau. I am happy they at least kept some of the original details. I guess everyone doesn't have a Selmar and an Ian to truly restore a chateau.
Philip and Selmar you are so lucky Stephanie, they are both an excellent compliment to LaLande.
Thanks you stephanie to actually well pronounce Québec, my heart feel better ❤️
Seeing this charming town means so much to me because one of my dearest musical mentors (who passed away a few year ago at the age of 86) called it home before she moved back here to Rhode Island, USA. Seeing it now, I can see why she recalled her time there with such fondness. Thank you for taking me on a trip in a time when we can’t physically travel.
How lovely x
I enjoyed this video so very much! The churches and the paintings. Everything! The shop you went into with the animals. Thank you! 💖 When I went to Europe, we tried to see things like these. The Louvre I didn't want to leave! Marie always does a fantastic job! You all make me so happy. Your videos bring so much joy to so many people. You are a true blessing. I can't say thank you enough for all you do. 💖
Stéphanie, your art vlogs are always so interesting
I love the churches and nativity set ups with so many natural elements. Philip, you are such a gentleman buying the bright yellow gloves to match Stephanie's fuzzy scarf. How fun it is to go along on your adventures.
I love the charming town, the church and the paintings.
What an excellent job of presentation you did for us!
Stephanie please travel more, you are such an inspiration for all of us
Lovely video, made me feel all warm and fuzzy☺️The nativity in St Catherine’s was so beautiful, full of character. The whole town looks very quaint and interesting, would be great to see it in the French sunshine!
Nobody dresses or has as much style as Philip. This is such a great video! I'm a fan of everyone in it.
I have been to Paris. Thanks for the trip driving through picturesque towns to the chateau in Honfleur with minimal decor, unlike La lande; the port, the antique stores, the churches with nativity scenes unlike any I've seen before and lastly the bust of Samuel De Champlain and the history lesson. I live in NY and in 1972 first visited Quebec, La belle Province of Canada. It is the most European of any city in North America; I visited often as my Dad and step-mother lived and are laid to rest in Montreal, Quebec. Your channel is on another level, compared to other chateau. The art, culture and history lessons are excellent and much appreciated.
What a beautiful place Honfleur is! The craftsmanship in making the wooden church is simply incredible and the crèche was so beautiful!
Philip is such a gentleman buying Stephanie those lovely warm, matching gloves! But what horrible weather! Marie’s flowers were stunning as is Anna and Philipe’s Chateaux! Glad you had such a lovely break!
Wow Stephanie I kept thinking it looked very cold and wet on your tour of the town but then I thought that it probably wasn't too bad because you and Phillip just kept filming. Once you said you were freezing I started to shiver and I am indoors lol. Thank you both for braving the cold wet weather just to bring this vlog to us. I appreciate it. Can I ask what Marie was spraying on the flowers and why? I am asking because I always have cut flower's in my home and if this is beneficial I would like to do it as well. Thanks
I think Selma better get busy as he needs to add a bit more to your Nativity for next Christmas lol 😂. This bought back memories, I stayed in Hornfleur on a school trip back in 1978. Love you all. Xxx❤️😍😘🇬🇧
THANK-YOU!! the creche were so amazing...as an American I have never seen any set up quite like that but I see now where the love of a Christmas village came from!!!
Just love Honfleur, beautiful place. Have spent quite a few visits to Normandy. I did the Normandy beaches some years ago. My father recalled the streets of Arromanches were covered in chewing gum from all the American soldiers. My uncle is buried in Bayeaux. I went to all the places my dad had mentioned from his time during the war. Love the area.
Stephanie and Philip i love you guys you are my light in the darkness.Thank you for everything ❤ Faye from Manchester.
Yes, brightens my day too. From the frozen Lake District.

Dear Stephanie!
You are an amazing and enthusiasts storyteller.
Always having an unexpected and interesting perspective to report. Just like the inner playful child shines trough with humor always makes me laugh with you.
Thank you very much!
Big hugs and lot of❤️
Stephanie, I love all of your videos. This one is a favorite! I've only been to France once but I definitely want to visit again. Many thanks!!
Lovely vlog I can not wait for the rest of this lovely home visit.
Ok, Honfleur is on my bucket list now!
This was a nice treat. Stephanie, your history lessons keep me coming back. Phillip, you are a true gentleman. Mattie, your creations and connection with nature are a gift. Your hosts have done an amazing job with their Chateau.
Hi LL family! Lost my ranch owner/roommate/friend to a suspiciously heart attack. His daughter a victim of meth for 10 years lives behind the ranch. I've adopted his 5 dogs. One has to go to heaven tomorrow. Stopped several pit bull fights due to their grief in doing so my right hand got lacerated. Then sometime last night my colt got a large flesh wound.
You tour in the rain, is keeping me going. The beauty you show through your tour brightens my heart & is keeping my soul & spirit going.
sorry to hear that mt, hope it all gets better soon. i know what it feels like to lose a dog, when i lost mine it was like losing a child :(
@@arielblumenduft3293 Thank you Ariel for your kind words. I am isolated here & this vlog is such a life line of beauty and laughter. Watching it builds me up.
So very sorry for your situation! To suffer such loss and then have to cope with more problems! My thoughts and prayers for better tomorrow’s.
I am praying for a complete recovery for you and your colt and for God’s deep comfort for you and the little ones that were left behind. Praying Joy and Peace and Comfort and Healing for you all. ❤️
@@elizabethmilner2045 Thank you so much Elizabeth for your kind words! They have kept my prayers positive and put in a better mindset! People would live so much better lives with positive words and prayers of becoming closer to our Lord & Savior!!
My favourite kind of content! Thank you, Stephanie!
You left me wanting more! Your knowledge and presentation of history is always so interesting, Stephanie!
You put a smile on face please never stop xo
that was amazing! The shops were great! along with flowers, more pictures, and food, too many things to describe! Loved it all, thanks for the tag along trip!!
Oh I thoroughly enjoyed that on a rain soaked summer day here in Australia as I’m curled up in my chair watching with my puppy beside me, Choc chip banana cake in oven and I’ve just made peach jam. Feels more like winter today but I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
I have. Watched every single vlog from Stephanie,as everyone says you are truly an amazing person and all your friends ,they bring a sparkle into our ‘lock down ‘lives .
I would love to see Micheal P again ,he is greatly missed ,wishing him all the best for this year as he continues to display his creative talents.
The wooden church is absolutely astoundingly beautiful! The work involed in building a structure like that at the time must have been monumental. And they must have done a superb job, because it's still standing strong. Wow thank you for showing us :)
Great episode. Thanks for sharing
I love Anna and Philipp! I love the château swap! I hope this blooms into a wonderful friendship! Stephanie, will soon be on a shopping spree and working hard decorating in her LaLande. Philip, the gloves are perfect! Love your new framed tapestry Stephanie. 🇫🇷⚜️
(Moira Ashton) That was all so interesting, I loved it, I have subscribed to Anna Philips vlogs,,Their Chateau is beautiful, such a lovely couple and their two little girls are so cute.. 🥰😍💗💓💓
Just lovely, the house, the food, the people!!!
Awesome video!!!
Fun fact: Artists started painting outside in the 1800s because of the invention of the collapsible metal tube :) Winsor & Newton also invented the modern watercolor pans so watercolors could be rewetted easily, and is why Turner decided to go for them while painting outside. Winsor was his colorman!
Amazing. TY x
Thank you for sharing such interesting information. 😊
@@suzanneedmonds1566 You're so welcome! I find this stuff endlessly fascinating :D
2:54 scared me! There was a candle right behind the flowers!
Me too 😳
Was it not a battery one
I think it may be a battery operated candle. 🕯🕯
@@valeriejohnson5283 no
Dear Marie. I Think the picture you are looking at is ( in danish) tallerkensmækker... it is eatable.. it’s a bit strong, but very tasty in a salad with it’s beautiful colours as Well. It makes a wonderful tuch to any flower decoration. Think it is in the garden already. But let me know if you want some seedes. Sorry for my english, I am danish. Lots of love to you all.
Here in the States we know them as Nasturtiums. So beautiful, and an edible flower.
I so enjoy going on trips with you, love this beautiful home and hope to see more of it.
I so enjoyed this visit to Honfleur....I’ve had a brief visit there some years ago and it has always stayed in my memories. The rainy weather created a different impression, of course but the Chateau visit was so warm and inviting. The lovely owner were so joyful and welcoming and Mari’s flowers brought such wonderful colorful life and living beauty to each room that they adorned.
3:14 Sorry is it just me that's worried about the candle on the mantle burning the beautiful flower arrangement? LOL ❤😊 I love seeing all of you together how fun😍
Bonjour to you all. Stephanie, this was a lovely tour of Honfleur which I visited 17 years ago. Since I live in Québec city, Canada, I was pleased to see the segment about Samuel de Champlain. Anna and Phillipp have a really wonderful château, the decoration is so elegant, Marie did a great job in creating gorgeous bouquets for the mantel. Until next time to complete our visit, stay safe and in good health.
