How is it possible that your sweet auntie can look so radiant and youthful on a moving day!!! ??? !!! it is absolutely unfair!!! she should go all natural more often.. in fact, you are all radiating ! You all have encouraged me over the years to live a much better quality of day…. American hurry was not fun!!! I have learned to prioritise slowing down and truly enjoying the moment I am in more than I ever have in my life. ….. thank you for being such a wonderful friend along the journey.! 🎉❤

They replaced the stand seating and there isn't the underground area like the arena in Rome. They even flooded the Rome arena and did navy battles in there for a while. The outside of the Roman coliseum was also half removed for other buildings.

Your aunt and uncle are very fortunate to own so many lovely treasures. Their home is going to be so beautiful once everything is unpacked and has found its place. The thing that makes it a wonderful home are the people who live their.

I loved Chantal and Steven's converted barn home in England, but now it looks like all that glorious French furniture has truly come home to the right kind of building with all the space to really show off.

My sister and I danced on the Pont d'Avignon when we lived in France in the 1960s

I know I cannot have anyone see me and will not answer my door even, until I am fixed up and hair done, makeup on and ready for people. I would not be good at Lalande. LOL I would need to be very cautious the cameras are not around, until I get moving in the right direction and look presentable, I need a little more color in face and do not like to be seen as I am, wish I could do it though, and be sure that I look alright, but some people can and some not, Stephanie and her family and friends can do it, and are looking really great!

Your aunt has good taste.

Wishing your Aunt and Uncle lots of happiness in their new home 🏰😄🎉

❤❤❤Watching your Aunt's and Uncle's relationship lifts my spirits! Your Aunt's smile is contagious!❤❤❤

My style of decorating is quite minimal but when I watched this I kept thinking, “You know, it wouldn’t hurt to add a statue or two, maybe a couple of vases, a few more paintings…” 😂

I really enjoy the history lessons you provide when you travel!

Glad they’re in France to be closer to you.

I so don’t want you to stop showing us where she’s putting her lovely things. Hopefully you will be showing us more.

Well that brought back memories of my French O level with my French teacher singing Sur le Pont, as I had been asked a question to describe the picture which was of a bridge and I could remember the word for bridge and she was desperately giving me a hint. 😂

those stairs will keep them in good health for sure, add some swimming for balance if you can

What a beautiful collection they have! I think they found their place in this beautiful house! Can't wait for a toor when it is completed!

The sun makes everything looks beautiful and nice but quite tiring😅 most of the time I don't like going outside...let alone moving in a new house in hot weather😂am always surprised seeing tourists walking the streets searching for restaurants! They close at 2pm guys,meaning at 13:30 u stop searching because they close. Love the service ,I know marry isn't interested on table services but a beautiful plate can make a difference when u present your meal.

I can't decide whether I love the porcelain or the marble busts the most. Both are beautiful. Another wonderful video. Thank you.

I was hoping that you would be buying something in denim from the auction house in Nimes. But that dinner service comes as a good second prize

I was able to visit Nimes and the arena in 2018 and it was a beautiful city to wander in. Loved the canal, and the gardens and fountains, and the men gathered playing boules.

Thanks for sharing the little history bits. Beautiful country side. Your Aunt and Uncle have some beautiful things. Its always so nice to see them. 🦋

Your Christmas present looks wonderful with your dress! The comment about the bust being moved to the bedroom where she can contemplate her life choices made me laugh!

Oh my goodness! What an incredible collection of bronze! I am so incredibly envious! I thought it was more partial to Marble but holy wow!

Love the Central Park Hermes scarf. It looks perfect.

As soon as I see your aunt and uncle I smile - such a lovely couple! Their home is going to be amazing - the decor so far is lovely. The dinner set would go awesome with my cut glass collection which is called "cornflower". It's Canadian made and I grew up with it and I have a huge collection of it.

They restored two victorian houses with Stephanie's parents while working other jobs. Stephanie's mother was a psychology department head nurse, and they ran nursing homes, one after another. Stephanie and her cousins grew up together. Stephanie lived in the attics with the large family and dreamed of her own Chateau. When Amaury was a teenager, his parents started to restore the barn property. They sold that property to buy this house. Stephanie's aunt repairs sofas, for example, as does Stephanie and Philip. You are confused by people who have worked hard their whole lives and mend things. ❤❤❤

My mother had Booth’s Real old willow china. She even had the silicon pieces. My daughter has them in her property storage along with my Limoges and Royal Doulton. They use her husband’s rather tattered bachelor china because it has pasta bowls with flat rims. I understand Phillip’s china obsession.

I’m so happy to see the beautiful china! Now we know where you get your great taste Stephanie. Your Aunty and Uncle are the cutest❤️Philip is quite the mover. Can’t wait to it is all together! Feel the love of family 😘
