EP 1: CHATEAU ROMANCE, BEDROOM DIY, HOW TO NOT CUT HAIR, BAGUETTES, & WHO WE ARE!

@ChateauLove ** Chatelaine Vivienne embarks on her first vlog with the help of her loyal sidekick (and husband of 24 years) Simon. A madcap haircut, reflections on life in France, some DIY in the chateau's smallest bedroom, romantic cooking, and a Valentine's Day dinner ensue. Simon voices conspiracy theories over French baguettes. There is some debate about who is actually doing "all the work". ABOUT US: Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our teenage daughter, pets, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family. This is not our first château! 20 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 18 years, 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! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Links @ChateauLove Ashley Locheed - "La Vie En Rose" https://www.amazon.com/Love-Chris-Rottmayer-Ashley-Locheed/dp/B08G1ZHNQY/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chateauloveofficial/ Facebook coming soon! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Links @ChateauLove Ashley Locheed - "La Vie En Rose" https://www.amazon.com/Love-Chris-Rottmayer-Ashley-Locheed/dp/B08G1ZHNQY/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= Social Media Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chateauloveofficial/ Facebook: Chateau Love
