Congratulations and felicitations The Tattle VIP club is under extensive renovations and you'll be pleased to know that we have stopped Heathcliffe drinking all the good stuff behind the bar. More to go around. M will send you the new keys and passwords.

At least they had 2 costumes. Could you imagine the smell from the others (Chateau Love, Steve & Sara) because they'd worn their outfits 'out & about' on the town a few times.
Yep, Philip must have got a good nose full when he was under there.

I must be missing something why is it "courageous" to talk about facts of what it is really like to stay at Lalande ? If what is being said is an opinion / experience of how you were treated, the state of the place and how far from what you were expecting it was then just say so. We are talking about a few days holiday out of your life, no one is held prisoner there, if it can upset anyone so much that they need therapy I suggest they refrain from travelling as far far worse things, traumas, illness, debts, loss and worry on a daily basis for millions is their life, not the privilege of being able to go on holiday let alone an "expensive" holiday to some farmhouse in rural France where you expect to drink Champagne and eat Caviar and dance around the kitchen.

And she doesn’t mind you sharing her story here which includes her real name?! Something smells off to me…
Actually, she did mind. She minded heaps, then changed her mind back and forward again. Sweet with a tendency to dither. Tomorrow she may ask me to delete. Who knows. Then she'll probably go away and gnaw with concern that those who visit will have a less than wonderful experience. (Sheesh! Had to write and delete this response twice now thanks to my grabby cat on my lap!) My friend said she liked Natti, and thought she was fun and charming during the brief times she saw her. She found Stephanie fake ("looks an awful lot older than she says she is") and she disliked the volunteer's with a vengeance.

She passed the Nati test! Let her know she was lucky. You don't want to fail the Nati test.

I totally agree. But in the case of LaLande, viewers and patrons have been fed a constant stream of life, love, and laughter. They’ve painted a picture of a magical place of beauty, kindness, love, and friendship…where everyone is happy and cheerful. It’s a fantasy of the highest form. So, for someone who’s been completely pulled into the smoke and mirrors to actually visit the farmhouse and discover the truth, I’m sure it must be a shock..and a huge letdown. I do think it could be traumatic, especially for a person that contributed both monetarily and emotionally, and felt a deep connection to what turned out to be a fabrication. To me, that’s what makes the grifting even more disgusting…manipulating and playing on the emotions of others for your own personal selfish gain.

Love it, you're braver than me. I've just got one small one on my left shoulder blade (two bats flying).

Classic! My favourite was the one legged knights who say Ni. I miss those good old irreverent days.
I could imagine French and Saunders doing a Chateau skit. It would be hilarious.

Salacious innuendo from SJ in Venice.

“Philip is excellent at sorting out undergarments…chortle “ she says as he is stitching away under skirts.
Didn't she also add, "Should I be worried?" I thought that was an interesting comment. Did she imagine PJ was doing more under Vivienne Love's skirts than mending her knickers?

Father Christmas Is Back is the movie you reference,I think

There is certainly some confusion as to what the various ranks of guests staying at the heap can expect. SJ always gives the impression that the Grand Salon and Winter Salon and the entrance hall are the hub where all staying at the chateau can freely mingle. But it seems that guests who book the self-contained apartments must stay out of the main building, unless they have booked a meal?

Yep. You're totally missing something. I'm not privileged and I don't have a lot of money and I was trapped there and mistreated and victimized by a narcissistic con artist and her minions in a foreign country alone. And it looks like I'm not the only one. I suggest YOU refrain from traveling because you might have some karma due.

That would have been Terry from Chateau de LaSalle who gave her the chair. Fellow Geordie (well Smoggie really). I liked their Vlogs in the beginning, but they are getting a little "same old same old" now.

Stephanie Jarvis, Philip Janssen, Isabelle Jarvis and Percy Attfield had an agenda. You can see how it all plays out.
Yesterday's SHAMELESS Chateau Diaries live chat...

He is full of himself...

Philip Janssen Hi everyone!!
Philip Janssen @Lisa Akinlabi It is! A lot of work, but I feel very fortunate to be in such beautiful surroundings. How has yours been?
Philip Janssen @Penny Howard I’m wearing Spero’s costume?
Philip Janssen *!
Philip Janssen @Lisa Akinlabi Spero is an incredible designer
Philip Janssen @Jenny Willow We’re in Verona for Curtis’ husband’s performance! He was doing Rigoletto!
Philip Janssen @Linda Elliott It is an absolutely stunning and magical place
Philip Janssen @DeAnn P It is absolutely breathtaking - especially the mirror in the green salon!!
Philip Janssen @Helen Stella There is no place like it, absolutely incredible and magical!
Philip Janssen @Penny Howard So many people were dressed beautifully - I cannot wait until you all see Sara and Steve & Vivienne and Simon!
Philip Janssen Oh and Chantal and Stephen & everyone actually
Philip Janssen @Penny Howard At the end of the video!

Sandi's question/comment was not answered.
Sandi Foster hard to imagine what it costs to rent there

Stephanie Jarvis jumps in...
The Chateau Diaries Hello from Verona lovely people!
The Chateau Diaries This palazzo is possibly the most spectacular place I've ever stayed. I was incredibly kindly invited by friends Tess & Anne a few years ago, and can't stop thinking about it.

Potty with a donation. This tactic no longer works. No one else contributed.

Stephanie ....just a quick note to thank you for always having fresh content. Some channels just always do DIY on ALL their Vlogs. lol Be well!
Jenny Willow Hi @the Chateau Diaries. It's lovely to have another cultural Sunday vlog. it is one of the things that makes your channel unique.
Philip Janssen @Jenny Willow I know! I feel extremely fortunate, also to be able to share it with all of you
The Chateau Diaries @M P That is so INCREDIBLY kind of you and it really means a lot. Thank you

Isabelle and Percy for the update on the chapel restorer.
GoldenLady @isabelle Jarvis I hope you can work your magic and heart with the chapel restorer. If anyone can ask him to return, it would be you dear Isabells.
Isabelle Jarvis Golden Lady I have to believe that like the swallows, the good weather will bring him.
Percy Attfield @GoldenLady she is doing that and he is adamant he is committed. His timing is very frustrating.
GoldenLady @Percy Attfield Thank you dear Percy and Isabelle. I kept feeling that he would return in the Spring. It was just so cold to do in the winter. This is good news.
GoldenLady @Percy Attfield @isabelle Jarvis I also felt it wasn't him as much as his family as well looking out for his health I think. He is worth waiting for. Love to you both.
Percy Attfield @GoldenLady we live in hope When someone is as passionate as he is about his plans and vision he should receive support and not simply cut off.
Percy Attfield @GoldenLady absolutely. The Chapel is 150 years old waiting another while to be restored seems of little consequence.

Time for for Ukraine...
The Chateau Diaries At a time like this, I feel more fortunate than ever that we experienced such a beautiful moment with loved ones. Our thoughts are very much with those in the Ukraine.
...and then, a reminder of Isabelle Jarvis's career...
Tracy Llewellyn hello everyone! Rough day today, placing my Mother in an Alzheimer unit today! @isabelle Jarvis I am praying for a nurse like you to care for her
Isabelle Jarvis Tracy Llewelyn so sad for you but I must reassure you that many patients do find happiness in such places. Very hard for the family particularly. My thoughts are with you.

Laura Claudia is in the house...(a Lalande account)
Percy Attfield @Laura Claudia good evening
Laura Claudia @the Chateau Diaries Hello dear Stephanie! Verona! Gorgeous!
Philip Janssen @Laura Claudia
Laura Claudia @the Chateau Diaries and @Philip Janssen I cannot wait to see in full detail your costumes!I saw them on Instagram,loved them, did you make yours, Stephanie?Beautiful colours and a great décolleté
Philip Janssen @Laura Claudia Steph did make her dress! It’s the one she was working on in the first Chateau Diaries!!
Laura Claudia @Philip Janssen Thank you, dear Philip! I will re watch the episode, but how great the colours matched between the two of you!
Philip Janssen @Laura Claudia Yes! Unplanned, but it is a common theme amongst the couples
Laura Claudia @the Chateau Diaries I know, Stephanie, that you care! I wanted at first to reply to the Instagram haters, but then I realised they are not worth it! Who knows you, knows your feelings! A
The Chateau Diaries @Laura Claudia Thank you Laura. It's difficult, because my channel is about beauty and art and escapism, and I don't want to change that. But it doesn't mean that's all we think about!

Some extra business for Vivienne Birt...
Philip Janssen @DeAnn P Vivienne is a beautiful artist - have you seen her incredible paintings?
Janice B @Philip Janssen , where do we find these paintings?
Philip Janssen @Janice B I’m not sure if she’s posted them online, but she also paints porcelain and I think they might have been shown in her Christmas video (but don’t quote me on that!)
Janice B Thanks, @Philip Janssen

The prison play update...
Yorkley @Philip Janssen Are you still doing the musical, or has it been cancelled?
Philip Janssen @Yorkley It’s been postponed to this April and May!! I’m so so happy and excited as I’ll be playing my dream role
Yorkley @Philip Janssen I hope it works out for you.

Manor and Maker hello @Casper p and everyone else I can't keep up with!
Laura Claudia @Manor and Maker thank you for your lovely Venice vlogs!
Manor and Maker you're welcome @Laura
Linda Elliott @ Manor and Maker Sarah and Steve you both looked wonderful at the carneval, well,done Sarah on your sewing expertise

Stephanie Jarvis and Philip Janssen do not want an un-manned (early) live chat...
CasperP Why don't I get notifications any more .... waaaa
The Chateau Diaries @CasperP That was probably my fault - I had such technical problems tonight that I only managed to upload 2 minutes before the premiere - it was just in the nick of time!

How drunk was she???
The Chateau Diaries @CasperP She burnt her hand very badly (some places 3rd degree) when cooking with hot oil

Do you hear the sucking???
Philip Janssen I’m a very VERY lucky man
Manor and Maker thank you everyone!
Manor and Maker oh lord, it's me...
Philip Janssen @Manor and Maker You both looked so stunning!!!
Philip Janssen @Manor and Maker
Manor and Maker right back at you @philipjanssen!
Manor and Maker such fun! thanks Stephanie et al !

Brique & Bois Publisher The VENETIAN PALAZZO?
The Chateau Diaries @Brique & Bois Publisher It's called the Palazzo Loredan dell'Ambasciatore
Brique & Bois Publisher I might buy a Palazzo at Venezia instead of buying a Castle at France. This is a win win.

A Gerry update...
Gerald Grady I’m in my taxi, sending hugs and kisses to you lovely Lalanders
The Chateau Diaries @Gerald Grady We missed you in Venice - looking forward to seeing you in March!

Or unless you're Hanny. The "self-catering" apartment guests can't enter the chateau until they are given a tour of the places they can be in during their visit. What's so egregious is that NOTHING is communicated before you arrive, so you have no idea what's in store. It's a total shock to the system.

What an awful person. He and she are very much alike. Lazy, party fanatics, self indulgers with no care for other than themselves. Glad you are back Miss Artemis.

I shall go wherever and whenever I choose as I am privileged and I never forget that.

@missartemis Thanks for taking the time to answer my question about PJ - he's in full Gigolo mode isn't he & can't be arsed to do anything, not to mention rude & supercilious. Again it was left to Amaury to try & sort you out. I thought it odd when the other 'visitor' posting here said he & Potty were nice to them which just reinforced my idea who it was.
I actually remember that album you gave & thinking how thoughtful & personal it was compared to people sending their old wedding presents & heirlooms to see them on screen & be publicly 'adored'. It will also linger there longer than the cases of champagne the fawning guests gifted them for sure.

With covid and all the Italian restrictions - the worst in Europe -
Here is some more info in his own words.
An online-course egyptologyst??? These are some credentials indeed! ahaahhaahah. And another SA wannabe she's included in her flying circus. But, after all, there is some harmony: they're all at her level.
