Moi aussi!! 😊
Stephanie I think your grandmother would be so happy with how your life has unfolded and that you have so many blessings. A grandparents biggest reward is to see our grandkids blossoming. I didn't have the luxury of a loving, happy family such as yours so I can only imagine your feelings. Hold on tight to those wonderful memories of yours.

Same here, unfortunately 😢 however Im grateful to count my blessings in other areas. Would have loved to see Stephanie’s father and grandmother in the vlogs, they seem to have been quite the characters in the best way 😊
I could watch hours of a tour of that little town! How sweet you got to spend so much time with your grandma.
Stephanie it’s trauma losing a dear lady like your grandma. Dear Mama looks so much like your grandma. Both beautiful strong ladies.
Dear Stephanie, so nice to have seen your uncle and tatinette. Enjoy your stay at Grandmaman house, it will be good for the soul.❤

Such a relief to see you know these people as Stephanie's Uncle( Ton Ton Steven)and Aunt Tattinette. So many are thinking Tattinette is the grandmother, who is in fact deceased!!!

So lovely you also deciphered the text: Zufriedenheit sei meine Ruh, ich denke viel und schweig dazu! My grandma was an artist and painted the same kind of boxes, I have one she did for me that says: Von aussen bin ich fröhlich bunt, doch still verschwiegen auf dem Grund, Gefall ich Dir so bin ich Dein , leg was Du liebst in mich hinein! in English: My outside is joyous and colourful but but I'm descreet and silent on the inside. If you like me I'm yours put what you love inside me. So funny that the two texts are so similar. I think they were often used for love letters. I keep the letters of my mom inside.

I feel the same about my grandmother...though in my case the house is gone and i didn't visit that place since forever.....i burst in tears just by looking at photos...of old time when i was a kid,a teen, a young woman....still smelling her house,her kitchen, her bedroom...her hair. I cried with u Stephanie, wonderful people have left wonderful memories for us, miss her too.

Smells can definitely trigger memories ...when I smell lilac water I immediately think of my grandmother ...and when I smell Jergens lotion it overwhelms me with memories of my mother ...ivory soap recalls kindergarten where ivory soap was used for washing up.
Good to see your lovely aunt and uncle, I’ve missed seeing them as well as your Mum and Percy too!!! Have a lovely visit 🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
I’m sure it was unsettling to walk into your grandmother’s house. I’m glad they’ve kept the house in your family you have the opportunity to go back. I’m sure the happy memories were flooding back. I absolutely love your aunt and uncle! They are the cutest couple and are always happy and upbeat! I always watch your videos at night when I’m winding down and they bring me such happiness! Thanks for a sneak peek into your life! 😊
Your grandmother's place is beautiful. Love the brocante
Omg your Grandmother and your Mother look soooo alike!!
You have your grand mother’s eyes and elegance Stephanie. Thank you for sharing these tender memories and the beautiful picture of her ❤
What an amazing brocante and village! Your grandmothers house is adorable! Thank you for sharing!
How I would love to visit a Brocante like that. So lovely to see your Aunt & Uncle again. Stephanie your Grandmother will be pleased that you are back, do not be sad, remember all the happy times. Your Mum is the spit of your Grandmother.

I have been thinking for the last episodes how much I've missed seeing your lovely Aunt and Uncle. It was extra special to hear about your summers with your grandmother in this beautiful southern area of France.
Amazing brocante! Lovely to see your grandmother’s house. It is so charming. Wonderful to see your aunt and uncle. ❤
Your grandmother looks formidabile !! What a character she must have been. 🌼🌼

Stephanie's grandmother was NOT in the video. The woman is her Aunt, affectionately called Tattinette. She is Isabel's sister. Isabel is Stephanie's mother. Tattinette and Ton-Ton Steven are Amaury's parents, which in turn makes Amaury and Stephanie cousins. The grandmother's house is where Tattinette and Isabel grew up.

The garden at your grandmother's house is beautiful, thank you for sharing some memories and for the tour of brocante.
LOL. The photo-bomber at 14:00. 😍
Can't wait to see where they settled. I'm glad Chantal is "going back home."
You, isobel, your aunt and Granny all beautiful women!! Loved the brocante!! The tears oh Stephanie how wonderful to have such memories love!

Those screens were so uniquely delightful. I wish she had bought them! I couldn't decide if they were painted by Europeans to evoke images of traditional Chinese figures ...or painted by Chinese to evoke Europeans figures ...I think the former maybe, as the instruments seemed Chinese.
OMG Soooo glad you included a photo of your grandmother! Apples so close to the tree ❤
My grandmother lived near Chambéry. I spent a few summers with her and I oddly played with her magazines in a similar way. Brought me to tears…phew… In America we have “flea markets” which sell have beanie babies, longaberger baskets , children’s bicycles , and Aunt Esther’s horrible china purchased at the grocery decades prior. Oh, you are lucky ducks.

'Flea markets' in Massachusettes had incredible antiques at them ...I've been to some incredible ones in LA, although they were more like auctions ...just have to know where to go.

😊 ohhh.. my Stephanie your grandmother looks just like your mother wow beautiful 😊❤
Stephanie, you had such a rich childhood & an Aunt that covers ten!
I am so impressed your family still has your grandmother’s house!
Stephanie, your Mum is the image of your Grandmother. Very Beautiful vlog. Your Aunt and Uncle look very well. Enjoy your trip.❤❤
I love the way you film feels like we are walking with you.
My grandmothers were precious to me, also. Wonderful and quaint town. Blessings.
WOW!! I would be in heaven at that brocant
I can understand Philippe, I have the set of 12 from my mother in law plus for sets from mine, I gave a set of 8 to my son, and still l can’t resist buying silver cutlery when I find some at a good price. By the way, I live alone since my husband died 15 years ago. I really need a Chateaux to put all my beautiful things that live in the cupboards 😜
The brocante was wonderful. Lots and lots of treasures. Too bad you couldn’t take the “coffee table” (backless chaise) back with you. I would have loved seeing what fabric you chose and how you would have styled it. Love seeing your aunt and uncle again. I can’t wait to see what their house looks like! And Lancelot making friends wherever he goes…sooo cute!!! 🥰🐶 The dinner looked delicious especially the desserts!!! 😉🥰💙🐶🍷🙏
I do hope you can show your grandma's house.I could see Amaury slapping his forehead as you bring more lamps to re-wire.
Your mom is the image of your grandmother 😍
So amazing city and brocante. Wonderfull.
Know that feeling. It's was hard for me when my father die to go bak home. I cry when I saw the empty house and his empty chair.
So many things to choose from makes it so hard to select just the right thing. Lancelot in the background likely wanting to play or join another buddy. He is so cute. European cities are so beautiful with their small shops and narrow streets. Very quaint.
What a pretty little town and your Grandma's house is just lovely, very emotional for you, also lovely to spend time with your gorgeous auntie and uncle. The brocante market was amazing
I adore your aunts new hairstyle❤she is just such a beautiful woman. 😍❤️❤️
Spent a month in Bèziers, August 1978. Memorable, Sete, Cap D'Age....❤
Stephanie I was taken aback by that photo of your grandmother - I had initially thought it was a photo of your mother. They are twins.
Thank you for taking us with you , i loved the lamps , it was lovely of you to show us your grandmothers house x
I would love to see the inside of your grandmother's home and how fortunate for you to have such wonderful memories! ❤ Thank you for sharing and real good to see your Aunty and Uncle again been too long. xB 😅
Stephanie, I think you are so like your grandmother. What an elegant lady she looked. ❤
What a beautiful city!!! You have, and still do, lived an amazingly wonderful life!!!!
So funny to se you at the brocante because we were there too. Such a Lovely Town, Pézenas!
Loads of good stuff if only I had a Chateau and won the lottery 😂😂😂
It doesnt matter how much time has past, first are always emotional! Blessings Stephanie!
Oh the lamps are so so pretty. Congrats
What a beautiful chassis your grandmother has. Such elegance. Clearly the DNA has been passed down through the family line. Wonderful photo with a vibe of the love of life. ❤❤

Those columns would be awesome as posters for a four-poster bed ...but since there are only two of them they could be at the head of the bed and some kind of foot-of-the bed- board created ...perhaps hand painted, or shorter columns carved similarly ...one more job for Amaury!

Is Lancelot neutered yet? That might help him become more calm around other dogs. I have a 5 year old Yorkie that I still haven't gotten fixed. I have waited way too long, LOL. He is naughty.

WOW! That brocante was huge! So many lovely things. The pretty art nouveau screen would have been great at Steven and Sarah's chateau dining room. I wonder if they saw your vlog? I'm so happy to see your aunt and uncle again. You have such a wonderful family, Stephanie. I hope you get a chance to go back and visit again soon. I always enjoy your brocante adventures. We don't have anything older than the mid 1700s here in the Mississippi valley. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Safe travels to you as you head home to Lalande. ❤
I spent all my childhood summers in Pezenas and nearby Florensac, was thrilled to see you there! Such a wonderful place, had a beautiful shop that made beads and we used to spend our pocket money buying all the different kinds and then making our own bracelets
Great brocante. I saw so many things I wish I could get. That napkin holder looks just like what the dentist uses to hold the dental napkins in place on patients.
yes your mom does look like your grandmother, so happy your aunt and uncle are moving to france cant wait to see their new home. its always hard to go back to your childhood isnt it especially to a beloved grandmothers home - i get it!!
So many souvenirs in Béziers. We lived in Olargues and Prémian in the country side where our daughter was born. Great area! ❤
Steph, I know how sad he must be but you were so fortunate to have had her as long as she did. I lost one of my grandmothers one I was seven and the other one before I was born! Grandmother are so important to children’s lives and I certainly felt it as I grow older.
There is, or was? , a shop in that square where you met for lunch, called Tout Ce Qui Brille (Everything Shiny) - my spirit shop! Also for a while there was a shop where artists could buy the pure powdered pigments to use or to make their own paints. Pure heaven. 🇦🇺
We understand. The memories are both painful and sweet. But what a lovely day you’ve had.
Thank you for sharing. I loved the video. Rosie O 🎉
The e ending coat in silk is gorgeous!
What a beautiful place. Isabelle looks the image of your Grandmother. What a quaint little house. ❤
Loved all the detail shots in the brocante. Always lovely to see your aunt and uncle.
Ask Marie about the boxes😉 It is like the Norwegian tradisjon to have food in this boxes.
such a wonderful vid- thanks for sharing
Only a minute in but I had to mention that there is actually a sundial bridge! It's in Redding, California and is very cool. It only works perfectly one day a year (on the summer solstice) and I happened to randomly visit it on that day a few years ago!
Beautiful town. Lancelot socializing is so cute. Great seeing your Aunt and Uncle again! Sorry for the sadness visiting your family home. I went through the same thing this week seeing where my mom passed.
Wow I see where Isabell gets her gorgeous looks! Your grandmother was absolutely beautiful. What great genes you have!
Awesome Brocante if I was there wild horses couldn’t tear me away. Your Grandma’s home is very pretty from the courtyard. As usual I’m jealous the meals look delicious. Nice to see your Aunt and Uncle
What a beautiful grandmother! Such memories are a gift. I hope my granddaughter one day shares her love for me like you do Stephanie❤️
Oh, I love Beleek! And I don't have any of it. I'll have to start shopping at more brocantes. What a lovely day and evening!
Amazing, your mother is a copy of your grandmother 🥰
Have a relaxing time whilst you are there. How wonderful you can still visit your grandma’s old house. I can just imagine you sitting there with your scissors cutting out the dresses ❤❤❤
Pity you missed the crossing of the Olympic flame crossing the viaduc !!!!!👍👍😘

Wonderful brocante! The evening coat is stunning! What a beautiful town. Precious memories Stephanie🤗
This is such a touching video. My grandma had 9 children and Christmas and boxing day was her birthday we would get together. I really miss those days. That is such a charming back garden. I also loved the brocante. Those screens would look stunning at Lalande.
Oh what a lovely place❤
Mummy looks so much like her Mother, your lovely Grandmother, as you do Stephanie, you can see the likeness so well. This video was so interesting, and little Lancelot met so many new friends along the way. xxx
