How thrilling to see Quebec spotlighted in the Bordeaux Market, more people to see our awesome Canadian style..... To have any region of Canada spotlighted and shared with other cultures just makes my day

Bordeaux and Quebec city are twin/sister cities since 1962! In the summer in the Québec old port we had a Bordeaux wine event until 2019, but I think they want to re start it :)

🎄⛄️ 🇨🇦 Hello and Happy holidays from Montreal! So nice to see that Québec was spotlighted at the Bordeaux Market. In Quebec we have had a big influx of French immigrants over the last 10 years who wanted to purchase farms in France but farmland was far cheaper for them here in Québec. So we now have many more French style organic foods in our farmers markets and shops including organic beef, pork, chicken, and wines from vineyards our new French immigrant farmers started. Francophone Quebecers and those of us whose ancestry is part French, love great quality food & drink. It is a focus of ever big party. By living here Montreal which is a melting pot of cultures, we are also exposed to the best foods from a vast number of ethnicities . We are spoiled for choice! In a 2023 Canada wide survey for the top 100 restaurants, Montreal had 27 of the top 100 restaurants in Canada.

Love the nativity scene! Great job!

Bordeaux, BX (diminutif) meaning in french Bord d'Eaux (Water side or river side, at the limit) Border, Bording in english comes from Bord (limite) border "verb" (limiter) a river ( coming from french, rive, rivière) a rive which is Bording water ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you both. Can't wait to see what other renovations you do next year. Thank you for sharing.

I absolutely love your projects today. I’ve just started using the clay myself so I know how fun it is. I do have to add that I absolutely love your new wallpaper and paint work you’ve done recently. Great job you two, keep up the great work!

Always a pleasure to visit Manor&Maker especially when they are involved with creating something new. Beautiful Christmas creche, all you need now is a Mountie 🇨🇦

Making the town looked like fun. Love how creative & skilled you both are.

Those villages are so spectacular!

Hello from PEI Canada. At the Quebec stall, did they sell Map O Spread? The figurines and models reminded moi of the Christmas corner window display at the old Simpson store at Queen and Yonge Streets

It's great seeing you both doing some craft additions to add to your scene, Merry Christmas to you both and see you soon 💕🌼🤗

It was such fun to do!

What an amazing scene you both created! I couldn’t think of anyone better to be custodians of these wonderfully crafted villagers and animals.Steve your artistic skills are greater than just as a painter, the shelter looked so professional and aged in keeping with the scene. And Sarah, how cleverly you made that wall and the Well. The whole scene came alive with all the rocks and ground cover - absolutely fantastic!👏👌🎄🙏🏻🥰

The village is adorable! It’ll b fun to add pieces and structures to it!

The whole video was just so lovely. Great job you guys. The village scene is just adorable and I loved seeing the market stalls.

Your wallpaper turned out beautiful. I really like the darker green trim. Merry a Christmas you.

The breakfastroom is so lovely, with the new wallpaper! But I do think a beautiful plaster medallion and some stucco mouldings around the ceiling would really finish it off beautifully 😁

Y'all are a couple of creative and clever makers! Love the structures you created for the Santons. The end result was excellent. Fun that you ran into some fellow Canadians at the Christmas market. Merry Christmas!

I love watching you create your village! Your stable and well add so much texture with the walls ! You will have so much fun adding to your village! I wish you both a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! 🎄🥂

About the hair rail in dining room- use two separate pieces of moulding. Can install first one and tuck second up under first Each can be nailed on a flat section.

This vlog could not be more delightful. The music in Bourdeau! The Santons, I always collected the buildings. Love the town and all of your inspired art work. When I have tried to like these vlogs it does not seem to register anymore. I love seeing Quebec, one of my favorite walled cities. Great views of all your Holiday vlogs!

OH Canada eh! How fun for fellow Canadians and I to see this in Bordeaux! You guys rocked the creative additions to your village. It will be so fun to think of what you want to add. All of the chateau friends are so creative, just up my alley as I love being creative as well.

What a fun video! I love the Christ-centered mural at 8:00! (My interpretation.) I bet if I went everyday to that market, I would see something new in the artwork.🎨Cool that you made stick and clay pieces for your Christmas Village! Great idea, I've never thought of doing that! About 25 yrs ago, my husband surprised me with a couple of porcelain houses for Christmas and the Minnesota snow village has been growing ever since. It changes every year, like you said. I've had skiers and kids on toboggans sledding down a big hill, a country scene with a Victorian farmhouse and barn with animals, two-tier cityscapes, and always an ice skating rink with skaters. I use an 7"x 9" oval mirror for the rink/pond with "snow" and shrubbery around the edges. I love the variety of villagers as much as the buildings. They make the village bustling with activity as well as lit buildings and street lamps.

Love the new cut the style makes you look younger and more up-to-date. It also slims your face down. Nòw how many people can find the time to sit and do this, as beautiful as it is ❤

Thank you for this episode! The tours of St Emilion and Bordeaux were lovely! So enjoyed your crafting the village for the Santons~ relaxing and inspiring! Happy Holidays! 🌲🌲☃☃💕💕

This is a great and creative tradition. Well done! Also, I love the wallpaper and how you got the trees in between the doorways. You are a creative duo!

Oh little town of Bethlehem ! What a beautiful nativity!

such a nice addition to your holiday display. The detail is amazing and the rustic setting looks very authentic.

You two are so adorable. And you pronounce poutine correctly!🇨🇦

Hi Sarah & Steve, I am not surprised that working together you've created a wonderful nativity scene. I'm looking forward to traveling to Bordeau when we travel to France later this year. Mark & Scott...(almost up to date with your channel.)

Always nice to make a Canadian connection , merry christmas

In my area of the states, the stalls sell- printed tumblers, knit dishcloths, wooden cutting boards, a lot of easy-to-make jewelry, soaps, candles, and generally stuff you can get in any shop. It's not satisfying to go to them.

Steve and Sarah, you both did a great job on the Nativity! You are both amazing 'makers'!!!! 🥰😍

This looks absolutely amazing, you should be very proud of yourself to have created this beautiful Christmas story. Have a wonderful happy and relaxing Christmas 🎄🕯️✨

European Christmas is beautiful!

That was fun watching you at the market and building the new tradition of your holiday display.

Wow, your miniature village is great. I made a very similar well for mine a couple of years ago, and created building interiors with shoebox-sized boxes. It was a great pandemic project. My painting isn't nearly as good - I sure could have used that little tutorial! I like that my Italian villagers are stationary, and I like that Santons are proceeding to the manger with gifts.

It was lovely to see you creating the pieces and backdrop for your scene.

what fun..... and we haven't seen that thing in the sky or blue skies in a long time, enjoy it when you can

I'm from new brunswick canada and very happy to see Canada represented . I really love your little village sceen. You guys are so multiply talented. ❤

Quebec and Santons - yeah !

You both did a wonderful job on the nativity scene. ⭐️

Your newly redecorated cafe room looks so rich…so chateau! And I love the Santons. If I ever get back to France I’m going to look for some to make a home in Southern California!

I really enjoyed the craft scenes in this episode! Great job you two! I'm going to store those awesome painting types for later! That nativity scene is too adorable! I'm with Sarah, It's just too much! Cuteness overload!

Hi Sarah and Steve, I really like the handmade structures that you made for all the “people”. You both are so talented in so many areas!!! Merry Christmas to you both!! Elizabeth Goodrich, Texas

Oh that looks sooooo authentic Love Your sharing!

Your work is impeccable. The channel is upbeat and lovely!

You two are just wonderful together.

First vlog I’ve seen of just you two. Usually there is a group of folks. I enjoyed it & seeing the beautiful shops. The crafting was fun. Wishing you a Merry Christmas! Cheers from Alabama! Linda

Gosh, that new wallpaper is gorgeous. Great choice!

You both did an awesome job. You are both very talented. It was so nice to watch. A very professional looking DIY. The creche looks beautiful. I grew up where my mom would set up a creche under the tree. It was a lot of work.

What a fun video! Every section was great! Hehe, Canadian stalls, people, etc. are drawn to wherever you go. 😁♥️♥️♥️

Such creative Makers! Thanks for sharing those ideas on making the scenes rather than buying them. They’re way too expensive normally and yours look authentic and chic. Love!!!

Loved seeing your village scene come together so beautifully, I had to order some for myself in Australia. I will look forward to moulding houses etc with my grandchildren and collecting more over the years. Merry Christmas to you both

Wonderful job on the village scene. Love your handmade additions. Merry Christmas!

Yes love the twigs and paper mache❤ well done on the clay wall and creche. Oh you can make a twig bed for babyJesus❤ what a great team. I'm new to your channel.

Loved that Canada was in Bordeaux! Love the figures.

I love the nativity structure, it’s terrific 🙏🏻🎄 Merry Christmas from Maryland 🎄🇺🇸🎅🧑‍🎄 love your home, and your vlogs ❤️🎅🧑‍🎄🎄

Hiya Lovlies Thankyou Southern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦🐝

Reminds of the cloisters at Durham Cathedral. ❤

Merry Christmas, from Hamilton ON , lovely display and artistic talent. Love the Bordeaux Market, armchair visit, thank you.

A laser level is something you didn’t know you needed, and when you have it, you don’t know how you lived without it 😂 - we have the same issue with ours - that you need to place the unit at the correct height (and not “tilt-pan” with it)

You're absolutely right... we're really pleased with how the bottom of the wallpaper came out, but it would have been so much more reassuring to have that LASGOO laser level to help!

Bravo, on making your own village buildings and well!

Love what you guys did with the crèche. It's adorable !

So cool to see products from Quebec in Bordeaux. A little touch of Canada for you. It’s always nice to see people from home when you’re away. Have a wonderful Christmas & a happy, healthy new year, from a fan in Mississauga 🎄🥳🇨🇦

Brilliant video. Loved the Christmas markets and making the Christmas tableau. 😊

Love your description "the creche people" 😂

I like your haircut, Steve, you look dashing!

The Santons are so special. Really nice job!

Love the village. Someone has a new hairstyle during the video.

Love it! Just got back from Quebec CIty. So nice to see a worldly market. Happy Holidays! to you and your family. Heather from Galt

Love the market and your work on the village! Cool laser

So wonderful. Have a peaceful and blessed Christmas.
