Well... Look who released a new video...
I mean by the time she has released 10 episode and puchased a château we might be in the year 2033
Also, those cringe dance moves...
That being said. I've heard from people she's a sweetheart and a decent person.
According to,
Morgan Lawley, she was a guest at the same time as Patty Martens, aka @missartemis.

No one seemed happy at Lalande this past year.
Patty Martens was also at Lalande the same time Wendy mouse house Grimwood was there.
Let's not forget Celeste R, although she was not a volunteer, I am sure, she was treated as one. She has been given the cold shoulder treatment by BJJ and referred out to Nutti.

Patty Martens arrived at Lalande 9/27 and stayed until 10/5. Friday 10/1 was a rough day for Patty, Why??? She is not the first guest/volunteer to have a hard time. I am not a fan of Selmar, but it was very kind of him and Tatty to make her a flower arrangement. Someone will eventually spill the tea.

Selmar and Tatiana, your gift of flowers was so beautiful it made me cry tears of joy after having such a rough day on Friday. The two of you made my stay at Lalande really special. You are both so kind, interesting, giving, and creative. It was an honor to meet you and dine with you. And the tango lesson was the best. I wish you both all good things. You taught me so much about gratitude and positivity. I know you will attract love and goodness because that is what you give to others.

Thank you for featuring a female artist (Jenny De Vasson) in your vlog today...not sure you remember me from my visit to Lalande, but I collect and support the work of female artists. Just had 6 female artists at my home tonight for my figgy pudding party and all agreed that women artists are still only acknowledged and recognized at a ratio of about 1 to 10 compared to male artists. We must help to elevate them to their deserved status. Thanks, Stephanie. I loved visiting La Chartre and loved tagging along with your excursion today. Happy Solstice.

Dear Patricia, of course I remember you! You were in the Tack Room apartment and I’ll never forget your appearance in the night after your adventure on the local roads! I was blown away by Jenny de Vasson’s photography. It was surprisingly vibrant and modern

Interesting comment, because this is exactly what I have heard. Stephanie Jarvis of The Chateau Diaries YouTube, Chateau de LaLande, and Chateau Unwrapped ordered her boyfriend's Venice costume at Viliotti's, knowing he needed to be presentable. She gave the South African villain costume...

Thanks for the warm welcome, OhIDon'tKnow. I definitely got to pull the curtain back and see the real chateau Oz. Stephanie did a bizarre post titled Living the Downton Abby Life (or something like that), glamourizing the whole servant and master thing. It was prescient. I was there for over a week and a few "volunteers" worked tirelessly for no pay (while one just lingered around the fringes doing nothing). The washing machine broke down and someone had to take all the laundry into town while a skeleton staff of 3 had to clean and prepare every room for an upcoming full house weekend (12 guests); they also did all the shopping, cooked all the meals, served them, and cleaned up afterward. SD and T and SJ and Philly were off on mini vaca for several days but returned on Friday, showed up at dinner to grace us with their presence, and basically dialed it in. They seemed disinterested, aloof, and burned out on the guests who had traveled during a pandemic to middle-of-nowhere France at great expense to meet them. I actually found Tatianna to be refreshingly authentic and interesting; she was one of the only ones besides Josie who recognized how messed up the whole operation is - and she was definitely treated as an outsider. SJ and snorty were "flouncing" about avoiding people as much as possible, except those who had given them copious amounts of presents, had social capital or big money; they gushed over them for a few minutes before disappearing again. The food was delicious thanks to Josie and the table settings were nice, so mealtime was lovely - but you can get a lovelier meal almost anywhere in France - it's not the reason you make CLL your destination. SJ sells it hard on her vlog as a welcoming place to interact with her and her posse and experience a glimpse into chateau life. It's not. I rented an apartment and it was clean thanks to the slave laborers. There were no window coverings and the bathroom door didn't close so I could see right into the parking area while sitting on the throne. And there was no heat in the late autumn. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that I did not pass the "Natti test" and I was treated like an interloper and an inconvenience. She wouldn't even let me enter the chateau for the first two days and forbade Josie from taking a walk with me because of all the work she was required to do. For 3 nights and 4 days, I was the only one in that huge building with 3 volunteers, one of whom told me they couldn't be bothered with the guests and another who ran away from me at a full sprint when approached. I was totally isolated. I also got in a car accident while I was there (the other driver's fault - no injuries but my car was totaled) and NO ONE at CLL helped me deal with the aftermath except Amaury - in his "spare time". Can you imagine? It was a nightmare. And I was not the only unhappy customer. Several people encountered complications or problems and no one at CLL offered to help. The whole experience was a joke. The only saving grace was the beautiful countryside and villages in the area. I spent most of my time exploring the region's art galleries, shops, museums, restaurants, and walking paths, and I dreaded going back there each day. Luckily CLL was not my only destination. I could fill this forum with all the problems I encountered there- and I never complained - I just bided my time and got the hell out. Most of all I want to get the message to others: Just don't go. And stop supporting her on Patreon and YouTube. Everything I've read in this forum is true. I wish I had found it before my travels.OhIDontKnow... said:
Wow. It was bad huh? Actually I think many of us would love it if you did go on and tell us your observations. How was the food? Was your room clean? Did you see her much? Welcome. Sorry for the trauma. You’re amongst friends here.
