Can you imagine the outcry if Armoire was a female volunteer? Careful or we'll have Tomas on here again accusing us of sexism.!
I think he works for the family firm in England.

I think he works for the family firm in England.I was surprised he'll get all his machinery from England. I thought he had a business there ... doesn't seem to be going well ...
So @OneMoonbeam any other insight other than the man bag?
Absolutely! As a former campervan chick myself, it's not as romantic as it sounds.We used to work away in the summer with our catering business and living in our van, returning home by the end of October. Very cramped, you really don't have any personal space. I have been with my husband for nearly 30 years and even when you are very comfortable with each other, there are times you just long for space. They are just getting to know each other. You have to have minimal personal possessions. I wonder where Selmar stores all those formal suits and tango outfits? Any room for Tatty's many cases and trunks? Also winter is coming. I never used to spend winter in our van. We always returned to our house before winter set in as, even with the wood burner, the cold penetrates. Mmmm it might be warmer than the chateau in winter thoughWhen I saw her with all that luggage I knew she wasn't a campervan chick! That said, I know loads of couples who have good relationships but dont sleep in the same room because one or the other snores too loud!
I also think she not at all a giddy type of woman and so beside the giggly giddy girls of lalande she might appear unhappy, when really she just isnt loud and fake. Just guessing, time will tell.
I’m thinking we haven’t seen much of Selmar because he was working on tv projects. He restored all of the gilded chairs in the room we “haven’t seen” yet. There about four projects we haven’t seen so far, I think. She probably put him on tv as he was popular in the vlogs. I think that’s why the loo was put off along with garden stuff, etc. she’s going to pay more attention to the tv stuff because more people will see it. Not defending, but I think that’s what’s been going on. He may be somewhat on the outs, or Amoire can on the scene to improve the projects for tv and the Patreons. I think she’s going to keep doing things at a clip as long as the money is coming in. I think she wants to have musical events on the grounds, etc. whether or not she can hang in there until it’s all done remains to be seen.The problem with Selmar is that he doesn't want to work. Like he said early in the CD vlogs, he likes to sleep late and work only few hours a day at his own pace. He can't be left in charge of any work, let alone repairing 145 windows. Pure craziness to keep him just to build a chicken coop or install pews when the others won't let him participate. I wish him well but @Dippy Hippy is spot on of his type. Maybe in time the curtain is lifted and we get an idea if it's his laziness/slow pace why he's not included in the renos or pure greed from the expat community hogging all the work.
No, I can't help but laugh at the name. I just think of Château le Fart must have a windy problem there.Im American and totally cringe at her sometimes. I also can't stand her creeping out over garden snake in the pond when you're willing to go into a pond to begin with! Clam down, dear!
Has anyone landed on the Chateau de la Ferte channel? They only have a few videos up but I think they are hardworking and have potential for some good renovation vlogs
Could it be that Amaury is moving to the Shitoo so he gets TV exposure?He may be somewhat on the outs, or Amoire can on the scene to improve the projects for tv and the Patreons.
From what I can gather she does do commissions, this has been shown and they also run the B an B.I don't watch the Fleuries anymore. When I did there was a vlog whete Anna mentioned they over extended themselves in purchasing the chateau to begin with. It was over their budget. So to me they were behind the 8 ball from the start. Why not keep one partner working for the next 12 months before launching another round of renovation.
The TV programme SJ features on is a minor daytime one. It's not so well known even in the UK. Most people I knew have never watched it. The filming has already been completed for the new series which aired yesterday. There's no guarantee that the chateau will be on the next series.Could it be that Amaury is moving to the Shitoo so he gets TV exposure?
Stephen is Scottish.His parents are Chantal and Stephen, who live in England (Ipswich). I think his father is English.
she just needs to drill holes in the ground straight to the skeptic tanks..Well to have musical events on the grounds she will need toilets!
Ah that would explain Amaury's middle name. Alistair is definitely more Scottish than English.Stephen is Scottish.
And very young.Don't you think that it would be cramped by staying both in the camper? She probably prefers having some comfort & washing facilities.
I think they (Fleuries) are pretty transparent about the finances, which is O.K. for me. The last years have been difficult for the hospitality industry, so the budgets didn't work out. I think they also mentioned, no renovation work inside, when they still have guests, so this could be a general issue for other B&B chateaux as well? The vlog contents are indeed a bit scarce at the moment...From what I can gather she does do commissions, this has been shown and they also run the B an B.
I agree they over extended as a business. They must however, have made a fair bit of money to afford a nice holiday this year and everything does look well presented and upto standard. They portion money off as shown, business, personal etc.
YouTube is the new bank manager it seems- the bank of patrons and subscribers.
SNAP! I thought the same thing - here in Tassie those toilets also need to be disability friendly. Actually all access to any events on the farm need to have space for that. Plus liability insurance to host such events. No idea what the French require but if someone here falls over on the Art Trail, you need coverage.Well to have musical events on the grounds she will need toilets!
And also making gîtes and B&B rooms doesn't mean people will come in crowds and rent them. How many want to stay in luxury château style rooms? Especially at Lalande?I don't watch the Fleuries anymore. When I did there was a vlog whete Anna mentioned they over extended themselves in purchasing the chateau to begin with. It was over their budget. So to me they were behind the 8 ball from the start. Why not keep one partner working for the next 12 months before launching another round of renovation.
