Amoury is worth his weight in gold.. Well mannered, well spoken, and easy on thr eye. Watch the gift packages for him roll in

I'll be checking out Micheal's fundraiser. When I was at Lalande and told Amaury that my asthma inhaler in the US cost 300$ he was rightfully appalled - the same inhaler was 8$ at a French pharmacy. It's hard for the rest of the world to imagine what American's have to pay for basic healthcare much less catastrophic care - even with insurance. I just want to point out that last Christmas you featured some clips of Isabelle and Percy giving food and gifts to the homeless in South Africa. I was so moved by this. And equally moved by the video of Gerald attending the art show of another charity recipient. I would love to see more Chateau Unwrapped content about the charities you support. It's important work you're doing with this channel.

The reason the cost is so high in the USA is we are the only country that allows pharmaceutical companies to recoup development costs. Therefore we pay outrageous amounts for medication so the rest of the world doesn’t have to.

I started “regifting” two years ago. Told my family they would not be getting new gifts, but things I’ve had for years that would be theirs eventually anyway. They love it, even the grand kids. So, the cadeau reminds me of that. And it’s another “re” to add to reuse, recycle, etc.
