I just love the chateau community aiding each other to keep the chateaus history and rebirths leaves me with joy in in my heart. All of you together represent peace and kindness to neighbour. Glad to be on the journey with you all. I have a feeling the xmas vlogs from you all will be epic.

I watch Manor and Maker Sarah and Steve are a lovely couple, I love watching all you Chateau owners becoming like a family, I have become very fond of you ladies and your family as well, thanks for sharing with us.

Beautiful! It warms my heart to see all the chateau families helping and caring for each other! So thoughtful of Philip to source those historic postcards! What a magical return to Lalande for you both. With love to you from Sydney. 😊

Hello 👋 how are you doing?

That was such an enjoyable update, thanks so much Julia, Carolina and Penelope. I loved your chateau from the first view of it from Stephanie’s vlog and how great it is to have the tour of Steve and Sarah’s chateau from your perspective. The ‘Chateau group of friends’ that have emanated from La Lande is truly magical and you are all so talented in various fields. Carolina, it was a very touching moment when you remarked on the quality of the newly plastered staircase walls at la Lande, which I think was the last job done by ‘Ian the plasterer’ before he died recently? It shows how the quality of his work will be much admired for many years to come. Now you have the exciting part of finding new furnishings for your chateau to put your own stamp on the decor and make it your own. 👌🥰🙏🏻

Phillip really is a lovely man. Great video ladies thanks so much.

The pair of lamps they found are so cute. The post cards are a piece of history. The one with the lady at the turn of the century would make a wonderful poster. So lovely to see the chateau community bonding and supporting each other :)

Great tour of Steve and Sarah's château, I watch every Manor&Maker video and just love them. They without a doubt are gracious hosts at their beautiful home. Enjoyed.

I wish there was a LOVE button! Like so many others have said, it's wonderful to see all our favorite chatelaines gather at each others' homes to share in the joy of friendship, and tysm for taking us loyal followers along!

"The Lalande effect".... I love that :)

Love Sara’s blue print dress and she seems to really know her sewing machines!

This was truly a special video! You really showed your hearts! Well done! There are so many chateaux vlogs out there, I find that it is the people and the life created in the chateaux, that make some of them special. You ladies (and Dad!) are certainly in that group.

Beautifully made video! So fun seeing you interact with the other chatelaines! Agree that Lalande weaves its magic on all who visit her!

I love the sense of community that the chateau owners are developing. It makes the adventure of buying and renovating a chateau much more powerful. And that said, I also wonder what the vendors of the brocantes in the area think when they see a gathering of privileged chateau owners descent on their local sales. Delighted or envious?

PS to my previous post, I meant to add that your revisit to Lalande was beautiful and touching. Stephanie and Lalande are both truly beautiful and magical.

Bonjour Julia Caroline and Penelope always a pleasure to see you all and you’re visiting Steve and Sarah😍👌Steve a wonderful host Chateau tour guide those rooms just stunning each with its own ambience the views gardens absolutely lovely with the chatter and laughter of fellow Chateau loves💖Always enjoy the brocantes Sarah always organised sharing advise experience those frames just fabulous let’s go find more 😍💃🏻💃🏻Lalande glowing Thankyou for sharing your experience buying your Chateau I always remember you all at Lalande a fabulous family Merci beaucoup my loves and your Chateau is spectacular Amore💖💖😘😘😍😍👌👌🌟🌟

This video was so nicely done, thankyou!

Since so many of you all are living in chateau's that you are bringing back to life, you should have a grand party with all the chateau owners.

Totally off subject, beyond the beauty of their chateau, Steve has the most glorious hair. Sorry, hair and makeup artist here and his hair is just glorious. Envy no doubt.

I think we all feel the Lalande Affect. Really enjoyed your tour. Remember well your first visit and can’t believe it’s been 3 years. Seems like last week😉 Your perspective of Steve and Sarah’s chateau was so interesting. I’ve never seen as much with an explanation. Great buy of musical prints and the ideas of marketing ideas. Can’t wait to see what you develop from them.

It’s so great you have each other!

So glad to hear the missing part. Really interesting. Hope your leaks have been plugged. Best wishes

A real nitty gritty visit, with detailed comments - and helpful hints. Wonderful chateau community, you learn from each other. I do believe, though, that Monet had a yellow dining room, and a blue kitchen ( the blue of Steven's shirt) , with terra cotta floors and blue and white tiles, also lots of copper pots. Traditional, authentic. All lovely. It's the warmth of the owners, the conviviality, that makes it so special. Lovely visit. Thank you !

Love these Vlogs ❤️

Bosch are great appliances. If you go with this brand, try to find out where they are made though; German and Polish are best. They cost more too :)

More and more families are buying Chateaus and it is great to keep in touch like you do and help each other. There is another Chateau owner settling in France, and he is a young Physician, and his fathr was or maybe is ( not sure) a farmer. And they have a magnificent Chateau!!! It is out of this world with towers and lovely areas that you would livie in as a guest and drive through the two areas of and then the really large Chateau/ home for he family and however they plan to use it all. i know they plan to have parties and people working there and they wnt people to visit. I will be a real home atmosphere! So I really think in time this Physician and family may well join you al!! (forgot just where he is located, but near Paris, but to be honest it seemed a bit moe North or in the middle area of France, I THINK? He knows in Winter it wil be the cooler area and do thinkn it is maybe two hours from Paris, France.) He has been on You Tube to show his Chateau and he is just starting out and it is getting a lovey renovation and then shown once more. He feels it will be a "Lifelong " process. though He has alot to do and he has much of it already figured out, but l he is looking for any suggesions that the people watching may have. A certain date he plans to have peole meet up live, andask him questions, but only will he take 100 people. I did get in! So as you keep joining up with thrs and meeing new peole to share and party with and get ideas from and all this hsaring and enjoying time together and yet working hard dto, but I think you are making lifelong friends! I did mention on the vlog about Chateau Diaries and Stephanie and a little about how many of you arefriends, so hopefully in tim you all do meet up soem how through the vlogs. Cannot remember just the title but it is' The French Doctor who has purchsed a Chateau" it goes on to explain that this young man is a doctor and his father has worked his own and owned his own farm and they now bought a Chateau.' But it is much more than just the large Chateau /home and they will have a lovely place for anything they may want to have weddings and Bed and Breakfast, i think? But they want that comfortable lived in feeling for all to enjoy although it wil be beautiul. The kitchen will be an enjoyable ara for sure as it sounds. The araa that you first enter and can drive through is ' romanic' with livable towers on each side of the gated entrance..On each side and each building is magnificent by itself o have some living quarters whether temproary or permenan, Iam not sure how he will handle this? ! Then you see the main house before you! But there is much work to do right now, just like with most everyone, I certainly hope you can look him up and you will in time maybe be one of the people that will be live, to ask questions and have suggesstions? Only 100 people can be allowed for this iive chat, at this time. ***I only say all of this in hopes yu can ffind his vlog and welcome him to joing u with the chateau owners and all the friends so you can joing with hi tooo as really thin the ae is right nd a phsycian and hisdad being an owner of his own farm they will it in jsut right with everyone!! You all have much in common!!! *** i would love seeing some one from other Chateaus to welcome him into your fold!? That knwoing he is welcome and he can join with others with so much in common would be wonderful for him, I think? For all of you to share together!

Girl, Bosch is the best brand... my wife and I have a dishwasher and it's a Bosch brand 10+ and still going strong💪we're about to replace it for a new model with more features...not that our current one isn't working....go for either Bosch or Siemens brand which is the same brand just more luxary and much more feature... you can compare each brand from one to another.

Steve and Sara are lovely, the building is beautiful, but I really don't get the colour palette Steve and Sara have chosen for their finished interiors. 1970's hospital waiting room? Mostly a mass of washed out base browns and greys, and pastels? Everything from paints, curtains, wallpapers, chandeliers, furniture, seem too small an idea for the spaces. Classy, cohesive, timeless, chateau-esque? I just don't see it. The shutters are a classy colour though, I agree with Julia. This is only my opinion, and I'm not sure there is a nice way to put it. Perhaps it's a budget thing. Perhaps it looks better in person.

I agree that these are absolutely lovely people and I so admire the courage and fortitude it takes to move to another country and make one's home a chateau. I'm just surprised at the unusual colours - they seem kind of 70's hippie-ish with no continuity from one room to the next and don't do justice to the chateau's features and character. The nicest chateaus I've seen use muted colours or the whitewash which helps furniture and art stand out rather than distract from it - also more in keeping with the whole 'chateauness'. To each his own of course and I hope my comments do not cause offense to you as guests or to Steve and Sarah.

Hi no one can watch your latest vlog as its marked private tried few times , just in case you have not noticed R

Your chateau name seems a tongue twister. I have never seen how one charges up a car on the journey before. I wonder how long it takes. amazing if it is quick.

Just a friendly tip for the lady who narrated the balcony scene off the bedroom: your French accent is beautiful, but if you could pronounce the word croissant without saying the "t" at the end, you would sound like a native! Just pretend there's no "t" when you say it.
