What a Wonderful vlog... What fun!!! Your Chateau is coming along so Beautifully!!! Than You so much for including us in your Amazing Adventure!!!

I love how you all support each other. What a lovely community.

Ok imagine losing your car keys in that chateau, so many rooms to check. The cars were gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

I have been following Julia and Carolina and I look forward to many more from them in the future. I am a diehard "Chateau Hopper", as deep in my heart I desire chateau living. There seems to be so much to do and so many friends to make within the chateau community. Once again thank you for taking us along. 😊

It really is a lovely community. Glad to have you along Lisa!

“Chateau Hopping” is a great plan! Get Stephanie involved too!

It’s lovely to have friends in a similar situation to yourself building and enjoying each other’s chateau’s 🥰

OMG! The gardens are divine as is the chateau. That it came with lots of gorgeous furnishings is an incredible gift. Congratulations!

This is a wonderful vlog....the visit to Chateau Puy Vidal (Everything there is a treasure and I'm so happy they own this magnificent property), the cars, and scenes of your own Chateau. Thank you for sharing!!

Beautiful vlog, Sarah and Steven, but odly my favourite part were the cars!!! We drove, when we were in Biaritz 3 weeks ago, to Bilbao, to see Guggenheim Museum and they had a temporary exposition "Cars through time"! OMG, there were unique cars, some avant-garde cars at their time, but they were all jewels! I was just like you, Steve, in awe all the time!!!! Loved the vlog, thank you so much!!!!🥰🥰🥰

Truly magnificent. Brings tears to my eyes. (South Africa)

Thankyou ♥️ for the beautiful vlog ! Fast cars 🚗 and new friends in their lovely/historical Château . Your Château is beautiful too 😍

A really lovely vlog , I remember Stephanie , Philip and Davie looking around the Chateau, it is beautiful.❤️

Hard to forget those gardens, right?

It was the cars that drew me in to subscribe and like. LOL! I’ve followed Stephanie for awhile without getting involved, but the fact that you can stand outside your chateau (I mean - CHATEAU!!) and see and hear magnificent vintage British, Italian, and German autos - instant love!

It's a beautiful chateau and those gardens magical, it great that all you chateau owners get together and become friends best off luck to you all x🤗

@@ManorandMaker 🙏 Next time! Perhaps if you ever get a volunteer who is also a gifted photographer 📷. Or, if Curtis Ryan Woodside comes for a visit. That would be a ✨️ magical ✨️ partnership. 😉I'm sure Julia & Caroline would be quite willing to indulge in a moment of pure fantasy. Those manicured gardens would certainly be a sensational backdrop for your 🎭 Venetian Carnevale costumes. It would make for a spectacularly 💖 romantic photograph. With Stephen's 🖌painting🎨 talent, I bet he could easily transform it into a portrait that could grace your Château as well. 💚 Bridget from Cali ☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)

🥰I loved Stephen’s commentary on the cars!!😊

Top class mower work Steve. Lovely to see Julia and Caroline again, hope they will continue to vlog from their beautiful chateau. in the near future Thank you for sharing your visit there Sarah and Steve, it's great that your circle of good friends is expanding in France.

Thankyou Steve and Sarah for visiting two friends at the beautiful photo it makes you a little bit jealous beautiful gardens💕

Fascinating to watch, both the lovely Chateau, and the beautiful cars! All of these adventures, just outside your door, you two are lucky indeed 🥰

Hello Steve & Sara, I have to agree Julia & Carolina do own a magnificent Chateau. If I were there, I would just go weak at the knees. I wish them all the very best and that they will be most happy living in such a unbelievable beautiful place. They are two beautiful people in personality and speaking. Well, letsw come back to you. Thank you for sharing your lovely stay, being back at your own place will make you very grateful I am sure. Thinking back, did you ever thought of living there? Look at what you have achieved. Looking down from the drone pictures, you have the most beautiful trees growing, and the wooded area is so precious, it has taken those many many years to grow like that, and the different colours of green and green/grey foliage, that is just nature in all her glory. I also think in going visiting other Chateau owners, you also get inspired to decorate with new ideas that will work in your rooms. This a lovely video many blessings and kin regards.

Loved the cars. Great to see your friends Chateau. I remember Chateau Diaries exploring the property for them. What a lovely couple with great ideas for the future.

Loved sewing the people from California again. (Sorry, I can't say the name) I love the Chateau! Thank you for showing us!

I never realized how large your property was and all the trees - stunning.

We say envious in a good way! I’m enjoying your channel!!! I lived in BC and Canada is super special to me. I am stateside now and France has made its way in my heart despite never traveling out of North America.

So happy to see you meeting Julia & Carolina! They are so lovely and their chateau is stunning. St. Germain des Prés is also looking very grand indeed now that it is bathed in the green of springtime! You two should come for the Le Mans Classic…Steve will be in heaven! Much love xxx, V & S 🏰💖

Thanks. So nice to have them near by. Don’t worry Le Mans is on our list.

I love cutting the lawn, weird yes. But I love all Gardening machines. Lmao Your ideas for the lady’s breakfast room. Fantastic.

That is jaw dropping drone footage of your home & surroundings. Well done! 🇨🇦

The grounds of the chateau are beautiful. Lovely mature trees.

Spectacular place! I envy the gardens...! The furniture is quite beautiful and appropriate. Thank you for inviting us in. Bon Chance!

Living the life .... Thank you for sharing the joy 😊

I can see how it would be easy to have château envy, Julia and Carolina have a beautiful château but honestly I love your home! I like the coziness of your still large home. So warm and inviting. ❤️

True but I also think the fun of buying a chateau would be shopping for all the lovely bits to decorate it yourself. It's great that they were able to purchase existing furniture, but that would take some of the fun out of it for me I think.....

Love how you all share, visit with each other and help us to discover France. Thanks for sharing from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

What a beautiful Chateau and grounds.

Love meeting the girls from Chateau Puy Vidal, what a beautiful place....can’t get over the wall hangings, rugs and some of the furniture, how lucky were they....hope you told them about the brocantes for glasses and cutlery ........nice to se all the old cars.........take care .........Donna in Toronto

Thanks for the drone footage, it give a real perspective on the size of your property and shows how pretty the chateau and grounds are.

Beautiful vlog, thank you so much and the best of luck to very new Chateau owners.

Love watching the chateau community grow! Sara you ask great interview questions! Keep it up and the cars were wonderful - something for everyone!

What a wonderful thought, visiting each other’s Château’s, taking tea and promenading through the gardens, just like Downton! 🥰 Thank you Steve, my husband really enjoyed the Auto Tour footage, all those high end and vintage sports cars passing through your little hamlet! 🙏👍😎

So glad you're adding drone footage, it really helps see the "big picture" lol (I'm a sucker for aerials!)

Absolutely loved the parade of cars! Surprised there were not more people lining the streets. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely video - especially enjoyed the parade of vintage cars!!

My favorite part of the car show was Steve’s commentary! I absolutely LOVE cars! I’m a 65 yo grandma & my Dad’s love of cars came to me. He had an off white w red interior 1956 or 7(?) Thunderbird! It had the circular back side windows. We owned it for about 30 days, bc my Mom threw a fit & demanded a family car. Ended up with a Navy Ford (Boat). 🤨 I’ve dreamed my whole life of finding my Daddy’s car. He’s been gone 23 years. 🥲 I wonder if the auto run has stop overs at Chateau’s? Might be something you could hook up with for next year.

Great idea! I'm 50 and my dad was also into older classic cars. He's been gone a long time too. I like going to classic car shows. It reminds me of him. 🧡

Stunning Chateau loved the classic cars 😊

how is this possible 4 years ago while touring Europe we saw this very same rally in Andorra. hubby and are massive car fans love love love this drive down memory lane. regards from Brisbane Australia

Wow your chateau and surrounding area looks lovely. The chateau we visited is amazing, its overwhelming. Didn't look as if any work needs doing and to think all the contents were already in situ. Lost for words hope we get another look around sometime. Oh Steve those cars going past just jaw dropping, how lucky were you. Thanks so much for sharing and looking forward to the next installment. Xx

Love this chateau!! Can't waot to see what they will be doing with it. Seems huge!! Garden is absolutely liverly. Agree, those beautiful classic cars makes your hart pump!! Really a beautiful town!

Your chateau is so lovely! It has been fun to watch you transform it to be yours! Thank you for sharing.

These new drone shots like the garden party video give us the first perspective of the land and layout and to me make the house even more spectacular well done ye are doing great and lovely to see the girls house too bravo

Such a beautiful castle

Very lovely place of history. Thanks for being it’s caretaker.😎👍😍

Amazing chateau visit. And my 4 year old looooves the Mercedes 300SL. He was loud with excitement.

From my small Yonge/St Clair Toronto apartment - albeit lovely, thank you for the tour of your friends’ absolutely gorgeous chateau. It really is spectacular! I too have been following their journey. So nice to also see spring there. God knows when it’s going to show up here. Be well!

A lovely vlog! Loved the drone footage and the beautiful Château you visited, stunning , thank you.😘

Great vlog! Loved seeing those cars! Good job at mowing!!

Love the visit to the the Lady of the Chateau. I started watching them after Stephanie’s blog when she did the tour for them. Such a lovely place and excited to hear about the future plans for you and them. Love the cars driving by. That’s one serious speed bump. The drone shots at the end are just magnificent. Thanks for sharing 😘😍

Incredible Vlog, you guys!! What an incredible car show...at your front door! And Steve-I am in awe of your mowing...your lines are so straight and perfectly spaced 👏! SO excited to see your collaborations with Julia and Caroline get on!! It would be great to enlist talent from other chateaus, like Selmar and Tatiana to offer dance instruction, maybe Andie Wieringa could offer a watercolor class, Sean (and Sarah!!) could run a costume construction workshop, or Marie Wiik a flower arranging experience...just spitballing...lol! Sarah I love your idea to list the itinerary on a screen in an in between space as a sort of "self guided escort service" to help folks navigate. You could have more moments like throughout the chateau-that would be in the in between spaces-to help folks find breakfast, their bedroom etc.. That would make everyone feel more at ease and be able to enjoy the grander rooms in between and the chatelains wouldn't have to go mad trying to keep up guiding the participants and enjoy themselves as well. It would also be amazing to have traditional 17th (18th?) Century dance instruction...and to have a living history event there. My old production company produced a few at a manor here on Long Island, NY, US. It was owned by one of the Vanderbilt families: one of the 100 richest families in America during the Gilded Age. As a promotional event, we hired actors to portray people of the day-providing them with dossiers on their character, and traditional dance instructors gave instruction,...Such Fun!! I was sad to be producing because I wanted to be in a pretty gown swirling and twirling with the rest of them!!! OOH what an incredibly talented and inventive team you all are! I'm so excited to see what's to come! And I'm going to start saving my pennie....errr euros to come take part in the happenings!!🙌⚡💃

Such a gorgeous chateau shot with the drone! So lovely!

Wow you guys, that was a great vlog to eat my breakfast by here in B.C., Canada. Love the tour of the Chateau, the cars...my husband and I were car nuts in our youth. Way back when we owned a Mini Cooper S and a Bug Eye Sprite....I remember coming up to speed bumps, just as the cars in the vlog were doing...we had to crawl over them as the cars were so low. Before I met him he was stationed in France and he frequented these rallies. Thanks for the memories.

Beautiful chateau but such a big place. Wonderful to see the gardens. I appreciated the amount of footage you shared. And the cars!! My favorite. What a parade of history . Would have loved to hear the sounds. And a bird's eye view - lucky you. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely video, beautiful Chateau you visited. I looove the cars going by your house. I just sold my 2001 Porsche Boxster, can’t at all compare that with these beautiful cars, but still a lot of fun to drive. Will definitely miss it! I think your chateau is beautiful and a good size to manage for the two of you, with a bit of help here and there, and it’s coming along nicely! Thank you for sharing 💕

Loved the content. That was really neat having all those beautiful cars pass by the Chateau. We could hear you drooling, lol. 😂

Always enjoy your vlogs - such variety. Great to see the other chateau - I followed them from the start of their journey too Thank you for sharing from Brisbane Australia.

Love the straight mow lines

Amazing video. I hope that your new friends are taking notes. I believe it would be very beneficial so as not to forget one little suggestion or thing that they have to do. Their place is gorgeous but still a lot on their plates until they have everything up and running. I’m sure that both chateaus will have a lot to offer. Best wishes to all for the future! 👍🤗👏🙌 ❤️🇨🇦

We have followed Julia & Carolina’s channel since the first video. Julia’s Father, Mother, and Sister will also be moving over when things are sold and settled in California. They sure got a diamond in their chateau. How lucky for you two to be the first guest.

WOW

The drone pictures were beautiful. It definitely aided in perspective of your chateau!

💕Made me smile seeing those cars going past especially those that went across the humps at an angle💕Only due to the fact that that’s how I drive over them the only difference is here in London Uk 🇬🇧 where I live there are loads & they cause extra pain in my back💕

Great vlog....loved the cars and appreciated Steve's comments. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Toronto

Oh it is lovely to see the situation of your Chateau. Lovely grounds near the village. I can imagine the land across the road being open for village fates etc for the general community. Quite lovely and your Chateau is has all the elements one would want and looks very manageable (apart from al the resto work of course)

My husband and I LOVE your beautiful home!!! We are from British Columbia Canada The Kootenays.

Just wonderful to see you both looking so relaxed and happy, wishing you all the very best.

Just, WOW!!!

I love your Manor-Chateau, and think you two are so wonderful to reach out to the newcomers. Their Chateau is so awesome but overwhelming, so much upkeep, I'd be scared to pieces trying to manage it all. Looking forward to your collaborations.. ❤

That is such a lovely château! They were so lucky!

Thanks Sara and Steve for this video and so good to see you and them making friends😍 together. What a great place to draw😀 I follow the Lady of the Chateau too..it is a wonderfull place to live it is amazing!

Love their ideas for their chateau (Julia and Caroline)! That is cool about Lafayette! He got around! We have squares in Savannah named for him and houses famous for windows where he gave rousing speeches! Steve found a great spot to see all the cars that had to go over those odd speed bumps! Next year, you will have to plan a party to watch the cars go by! love the drone shots of you chateau!

Wonderful vlog, love the drone footage. Makes sense now, the roadway out front, back gardens, you do have a pool! I have been following the girls and their new to them chateau, what a gem.🇨🇦❤️

Such beauty! Cars were cool! What a wonderful idea of going from chateau to chateau to visit!

Fun vlog, i even sent to my husband (for the cars) absolutely love the drone footage at the end. Seeing a different angle of the chateau! Its magic.

In the ante room along with Sarah’s suggestion of a monitor with an itinerary of the days events and room details you could have a table with seminar notes for daily sessions and perhaps floor plans with room names for sessions and perhaps ideas and locations with directions for daily outings. Perhaps also menus of meals and picnic baskets with meal ordering forms. The buffet for coffee tea etc could be laid next door to one side of the breakfast room thus keeping the day time meals and snacks to one room.

Was happy to see the lady of the chateau vloggers here, great video!

Really fun video. I had to share the car section with my hubby.

I love ❤️ your networking with other chateau owners. It makes a richer experience for us as well. 🥂. 😎

Ooh lovely, only 1hour 20 m minutes from me to chateau Puy Vidal! I shall have to keep an eye out! That is a magnificent property!

Great vlog! Thank you for the wonderful content and exposure to all the great areas of France. All the best!

Gorgeous Chateau. I remember when Stephanie went to look at it and did a video. Beautiful inside and outside and nice not to have to do so much work, so can really enjoy it and have guests, if that is what their plans are.
