They are also very smart and live within or below their means, they have a happy family life.this is why i like dan and his channel so much... these are his commets when someone asked about sending funds to help"
Thanks that's very kind , although just watching is enough, I'm in a lucky position that if I need more money I can just work an extra day or make an extra video!, much appreciated
All the top floor rooms are former servants' rooms and are derelict. She did a tour way way back. Not the pristine chatelaine look she's going for.I have been watching Stephanies vlogs for some time now. Why is it that she only films the kitchen, her bedroom, the attic and sometimes the dining room. It is a huge Chateau there must be dozens of rooms she could show us.
Who says she isn’t? I mean all the recent chateau trips are just adverts for their B&B, weddings, gatherings, etc. I am convinced she’s getting paid for the “tours” and such…Perhaps he was bitten ... by Diesel? Or a hedgehog? Or SJ?!
Interesting that a lot of the gift givers advertise their own products for free on the gift grabs. Last night, at least two Etsy makers had their info given out to the public. Surprised SJ doesn't charge people a fee for product advertising.
I think she's so validated by freeloading that she does and would do it for "free" -- showing up with a retinue of three, drinking richly and sticking you with the restaurant bill for her lobster dinner and that of Little Prince Perruque Poudrée. And only seldom offering 8 oz of Lalande honey as a hostess present.Who says she isn’t?

Her videos would have to have that "Includes paid promotion" notification if she were paid. I don't believe for a second that these business owners would pay for ineffective YouTube exposure. Small businesses are much better off investing in targeted Facebook and Google ads.Who says she isn’t?

More rooms, more boredom ...It is a huge Chateau there must be dozens of rooms she could show us.
More rooms, more tat. She only shows few places around the shitoo because most of it is a dumping ground for long forgotten junk. Actually, just goes to show that she only uses few rooms and it's completely frivolous of her to own such a huge pile of rocks. But she wants to live like Marie Antoinette in her own Stephantasy. I'm just waiting for the guillotine.More rooms, more boredom ...
She has about 3 of those journals already.That awful book of tat on GAG. What on earth is that about? A journal filled with loose bits of drawings, 'secret' pages, poems, with drawings, pressed flowers and God knows what else. What is she supposed to do with it? There's no space to write anything, even if she wanted to, which I'm sure she doesn't. I think lonely people send her these things that they've spent a long time lovingly putting together because they believe she is spiritual and whimsical. She's not. She's all about the cold hard cash.
The journal will go into the barn with all the other GAG nonsense and in time will become comfortable shredded bedding for the mice.
I've noticed she gets a lot of views for these videos. She has a pretty high view to subscriber count. No telling what she makes off of each video. On another note - I noticed How to Renovate a Chateau has now hidden their patreon amount. They are really climbing that revenue stream.Her videos would have to have that "Includes paid promotion" notification if she were paid.

Our Shitelaine gets a free mini vacation with food and drinks everytime she visits somewhere. She also gets content for her boring flogs so it's well worth her time.
She "wants" the pristine look but doesn't lift a FINGER to make her home look nice. I remember old videos where she was at least painting or cooking. Now....nothing. Just show us a day where you do something in and for your own home!!!All the top floor rooms are former servants' rooms and are derelict. She did a tour way way back. Not the pristine chatelaine look she's going for.
Why? Stupidity. And being surrounded by flawed, desperately sad and lonely misfits who enable her stupidity...out of stupidity or greed for themselves and their agendas.Still thinking about SJ's very curious vision of chateaux, chateau decoration, Lalande and its decoration. I agree with you geniuses that the simplicity and relative newness and humility (no grand staircase, etc.) of Lalande does not now suit her ambition, and a 19th maison de maitre -- is that the term? -- a spruce little bijoux chateau like de Brives would suit her Epcot Versailles tastes better.
That said, grift emplaced, why would she not be gussying Lalande up more efficiently to sell? Srsly, more geothermal wells, fix radiators, repair cheap bathrooms, water to the potager, drainage and cisterns for gardens around the old building, restore the staircase and terrace, shutter dogs, chapel, every convertible space turned to gite, swimming pool, lake restoration, facade, get the stumps out of the dry moat, all cosmetic stuff for sale. So she could own a place which suits her better?
Instead, she's pissing money away on inappropriate panelling (stored in such a way as to warp it), bogus toile and plaster bedcrowns for which she paid approximately €1000 too much, lady desks for gigolos, wormwood chaise longues and bed suites for Nati who apparently had no say in its choice, etc..
I suspect the whole gite-for-Nati is some kind of a dodge, to spend Patreon reno money on remodelling for rentable gites.
It's mind boggling, but she doesn't even grift efficiently enough. And films it all.
If that is something she'd want to do, she's shot herself in the foot a bit by creating this legion of fans who belive Lalande is the most amazing wonderful place on earth. Imagine the outcry if she announced she's selling the cheateau, after all the money and gifts fans have sent to beautify (ha) the place??That said, grift emplaced, why would she not be gussying Lalande up more efficiently to sell?
She's got at least one entire vlog about a visit to Chenonceau, and has referenced it many times in passing.Stephanie loves to visit other peoples' chateaux. What strikes a student of ETTC Grifter Chateau Style is the complete absence of reference to the greatest chateau in Indre et Loire, her region, the second-most visited in France, most famous for its female owners, Chenonceau.
Good point. Lalande is the goose that laid the golden egg.If that is something she'd want to do, she's shot herself in the foot a bit by creating this legion of fans who belive Lalande is the most amazing wonderful place on earth.

From 18:25 her video really shows what a mismatched mess the place is.Just watched 10 mins of ‘Chateau Love’s ‘ supposed visit to Lalande, hoping to see the real state of the place. OMG, I think SJ has met her match with this one - she’s managed to make it all about her! Don’t know if I can take much more of her sycophantic gushing!
She’s probably charging to promote the chateaux visits because she is the leader of the YouTube cult.Who says she isn’t? I mean all the recent chateau trips are just adverts for their B&B, weddings, gatherings, etc. I am convinced she’s getting paid for the “tours” and such…
