I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Amaury deserves the Medal of Efficiency for all he does at the chateau and the efficiency in which he works and organizes his work space. Amaury, the chateau is so blessed to have you and your many talents. ❤

I just love that after so many years of Amaury avoiding cadeau... he finally loves it 😂🤩
I love how Amaury and Natti are affectionate with each other.
Oh yes, Stephanie, we love stories from yours and Amaury's childhood - don't leave them out.
So fun seeing you open up the gift my husband and I sent. The Apple corer. Push into Apple . Pull out open corer to release the core. I can’t wait to hear how you enjoyed your pork chops. Canada Day 🇨🇦 is July 1. Happy Birthday Natalia. Love to you all!
You will love the little spatulas. They are great for cleaning out cans.
Love seeing Amaury with all of you.
I love it when its the four of you. You feed off each other and encourage the silliness
The tapestry is just in time for the lake that is coming back~
There was a huge earthquake in South eastern Turkey in ten states early this morning. Maybe you can think of sending your donation there this month.
Nice to have Nalti back, and I love the outfit Stephanie is wearing. I love Chateau life there 💗🤎❤❤❤❤
The tiny spatulas are great for getting the last bits out of jars and cans. I use mine to clean out peanut butter jars!

Nice to see Amary joining on opening the gifts. He is such a humble guy 👦
Hi La Lander`s what you need to use for your mashed spud`s is a potato ricer, that way you dont have to painstakingly peel the small potato`s, you just put in your cooked spud skin on and squeezed the potato pulp through,it`s a larger version of a garlic press.
Amaury is wonderfull!!!
I know this is a little late. I love how you donate to different charities every month. I've been watching you from the beginning and love all of you. I would like to put out a suggestion for this month to be fit the victims of the horrible earthquake in turkey/Syria. I am watching the news(in Oklahoma usa) and my heart is breaking. Over 12,000 dead. On our news it says donations can go through unicef, I do not know how it would work in France. Thank you for all you do, all of you. 💔❤️
Very cool presents! I love how Lalande brings people from all over the world together!
I really loved knowing where the packages come from in the USA & et all. I know, I'm silly, am I the only one? Shea (Shāy) butter is a fat extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. Thanks for sharing with us. Blessings
That is exactly how I put a scarf on too. Love it Amaury. 😊❤

Missed you Nati, We love ❤️ Amaury gets his partner back. Lol you guys are so cute. Love this more intimate of your videos. Thanks Stephanie & Phillip ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 to you all.
That was fun to watch and pleased to see your nails unadorned Philip. I used to admire your lovely clean manicured nails.
l wish you all the luck in the world for the ongoing things that you do ,and AMAURY IS A SPACK
I love see Naty and Amaury together 🥰🙏🏻…God bless you couple, Phillip and Stephanie too 🥰
As a fellow St. Catharines native, I'm happy to tell you that Canada Day is on July 1st ... Also my wonderful nephew's Birthday! Cheers! 😉
I do so enjoy the banter between you all, makes the videos wonderfully engaging and funny 😊😊
Lots of lovely gifts as normal. Nice to see Nati back. Loved watching😘
All I can say is "Wow" about the gifts that you received, very generous.
Nati my birthday is 2 days after Christmas so l get all my presents in one go. Happy Birthday for this week. I hope you get spoilt by that lovely man of yours. Stephanie thank you for sharing your wonderful home and the people and adventures you get up to. 🤗
My family have picnics in winter ❄️ here in Ontario Canada, hot chocolate, finger foods & mini muffins it's so much fun.
Good to see Nati back, and a good time for all of you at Cadeaux, enjoy you all so much.
What fun to be part of this even livelier than usual Cadeaux.
So many beautiful and thoughtful gifts. The stunning collection of paper napkins just scream to be used in decoupage. It’s so much fun to do and you have longer lasting memories of the gift of the napkins than using as napkins. The blue and white ones should be used to cover a tray and used in the kitchen or for breakfast in bed! Just a thought from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺
Happy, but cold Canadian from Calgary Alberta. What fun to see you open these lovely gifts.
Oh yes!! A whole hour of "Chateau unwrapped"!! 😍🤩🥰👏👏👏 I'm so happy!! 💖

Yes butter tarts so easy to make and very addictive you can make them as squares also Iam in southern ontario canada in a place called Sarnia at the lower end of Lake Huron part of great lakes ! Right across from Port huron Michigan usa ! It's amazing to be so close to another country can wave to them across the river watch ocean freighters going by our waterfront from around the world except for two months January and February as part of the lakes freeze over in the winter up north but by March sit at shore line at Sarnia Yatch club where Iam a member and watch this big ships go right by us ! Best view on all of great lakes to see the world go by literally with ships carry cargo from every where !
So much fun...❤️My favourite cookies are those Maple ones. Ontario is a huge beautiful province with much to see. I am their neighbour in smaller Manitoba. Canada day is July 1 . Cheers🇨🇦

Hi Trace fellow Manitoban here.
July 1st Canada day, Victoria Day is May 20th. Here in Canada we celebrate spring with May 24 weekend. It’s called May 24(two four )for the how many beers are in a case(24) plus it falls on the 3rd weekend of the month.
Butter Tarts are the BEST!! ❤️ You should post the Butter Tart Recipe - Yum 😋
Wonder gifts, everyone!
Yes Amury & Natalie did Christmas cato at the Chateau b4 with his mum & dad.
My wedding dress had tatting lace on it. I loved it. Xx
My daughter Shannon bought us a ceramic coffee maker and it is perfect! I use it everyday and it's perfect for one cup of coffee.
Love these video's.Wonderful gifts.
I just love watching all of you. Warms my heart
So thoughtful the gifts people send you and you always appreciate everyone gifts enjoy
I watched and saved all the episodes . I love the la landers
This is Grandma from Texas. We love all your boys at LaLande. You know, together y’all are extra special. Stephanie you are a lovely bright star on your own and we LOVE you. I’m so very happy that you share your loved ones with us I adore Phillip and the way y’all are with each other. Phillip is NO JOKE. He is witty handsome and talented in so many ways!! I have learned so much from him about table dressing. It must be wonderful never having to worry about the table EVER Phillip can create absolute perfection. Amaury is precious. I think he can do anything and everything he puts his hand to. and he is a tender heart on top. I truly enjoy your videos so very much. I always feel a little lost when you are done. Thank you for all you do with your channel to bring us joy
Please always have Amaury on Chateau unwrapped! Please Please Amaury rant on and on! Love you guy's! ♥
Phillip you surely do a great job zooming in. It really helps seeing the details.❤😊
You are right about the scarf; it is aviator style.

Hello all. Wonderful caddeau again and beautiful gifts and goodies. I particularly am partial to the Swarovski, but I don't own any. However, I have a friend who is a collector.Good fun as always.
These Chateau blogs are so good on so many levels...I watch most on my big screen tv. ( I always "Like" them at the very beginning using the UP button above the OK button ) I love the chat..the different personalities..& the decor to help with my own house which was all White when bought. it is such a useful resource for learning so much, long may they flourish.

I truly enjoy every single moment of all your channels. Brings joy and love to my life! Thank you so much Stephanie. Lots of love. Juan Du Preez from South Africa.
Once again such a happy Cadeaux. Thanks

Loved Amaury’s “mansplaining” the apple corer. ☺️ The release is for AFTER you remove the core from the Apple. The cylinder of the seeds and bits ~ an easy release No having to dig or try to push the removed core from the tool. 😉 The little spatulas are wonderful for inside jars.

Yup! I’d love a copy of your favourite recipes!
Beautiful gifts! Love seeing you 4 together for cadeau! I noticed that in the gifts from Ontario there was a magazine called Our Canada. My good friend wrote an article and sent in a picture of us while on a vacation with our husbands . I love those magazines because the articles are written by Canadians. Hugs from moi in Canada.

I ordered the blank book from Amazon then wrote out some of my favourite recipes.
I am English but was brought up in Canada and have been back in England for many years. I laughed when you opened the cookbook with a recipe for butter tarts. I have had the same hairdresser, George, for 26 years. About 25 years ago he came to the house near Christmas and I was making butter tarts, which I do every year. I gave him one and ever since then I have had to make butter tarts for him at Christmas. I wouldn't dare turn up without them, who knows what he would do to my hair!!! They are just so delicious and if you do make them can I suggest that you are generous with the fruit and warm them before eating. You have made me want to make them now before my appointment in two days. Such memories.
As a Canadian, I fully endorse making the butter tarts. There is nothing more delicious. A true Canadian treat.
