🎉 Chateau de Lalande Day & Stephanie's 50th Birthday SURPRISE! @TheChateauDiaries 🏰 💖

Join us on a magical trip to Chateau de Lalande, home of our dear friend Stephanie Jarvis and The Chateau Diaries! In this video, we take a little break from our own chateau renovations to help out at Lalande's Patron Day; I host a porcelain painting activity; we see lots of old friends, and also make some new ones. There are lots of surprises in store: Fun gifts, dressing up, antique and vintage jewelry treasures, and my sister Ashley Locheed sings live! We finish the weekend celebrating Stephanie’s 50th birthday at a surprise party filled with laughter, amazing food, and so much dancing! We're delighted you can join us for the fun and all the Chateau Love! ✨ Thank you for watching!

I’m Vivienne, an artist, designer, antique & vintage jewelry dealer, and also the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family. This is not our first chateau! 25 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, after 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and —of course— antiques and art! We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!
