Mid to long term it makes sense to have professionals in, rather than wellmeaning but bumbling volunteers, re quality and potential resale value
Absolutely, if the ones they use are actually professionals. And, I don't think any chateau owner is worried about resale value. Chateau = money pit. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I forgot to mention. Are we still encouraging @Heathcliffe to achieve his status?
The initiations he will need to undertake are long and arduous.
1. We need a pot boy in the VIP lounge.
2. The Aston needs a good wax.
3. The reporting on vlogs has gone a bit lax of late, we need agents on the ground prepared to sift through the detritus.
4.He mentioned jogging, we need to time him against the French dogs.

I am sure others can suggest a few Herculean tasks in order to gain his status.

Now where did the keys go to the VIP lounge. We can't let Flip get hold of them, he may break a wrist trying all of the handles in there. 🤣
renewal of the vows? Towards tattlers of course, not his wife😂

Julie montaghe from american viscountess has apparently copied the sunday chateau tours idea and turned it into way better production touring english manors . Stephanie must be going green with envy

Julie Montaghe seen here celebrating Spring

Julie Montaghe is also the most highly concentrated irritating American I have ever had the unpleasant misfortune of encountering. She's like a hyper golden retriever, mouth is constantly rambling without saying much, or stating the very obvious, it just never stops. I don't know how she can be a Yoga instructor, even when she stands still she vibrates ........ she seems a little nuts, well intentioned but nuttier than a cashew tree.

Her vlogs have some potential if she'd allow people to talk and take a back set, maybe insert some music, anything ....... Her channel needs to come with earplugs .....

Just as a flight of fancy, let's say they are doing the horizontal mambo. If I were one of the other owners (potts and Nic) or even IJ (who I'm sure has a tidy amount invested in that shithole) I would be petrified that Snorty might end up pressing a sexual harassment lawsuit if he is unceremoniously returned to his woodland friends. Maybe that is why Nic is returning.

As I said, I really don't think they are that kind of item, so probably should belt up and go to bed.

I'm just curious. Do you have to be a "VIP" member in order for new Tattle Life suggestions to be considered?
Not at all. It's become tradition that those who achieve VIP status during one thread have naming rights for the next, but anyone can suggest or nominate if they want. Some of us (like me) have been here from the start but don't post that often, so although I'm an old-timer I'm not a technical VIP. But, like Heathcliffe, must be honorary at the very least 😉.

I’ve always believed they were sleeping together too. When do you think it started? My guess is around Halloween last year.

RE the bags of wool - did you hear Cat say
" from last.. " before SJ cut her off saying " years ago". I call BS. Hey Cara your precious wool in the attic has been thrown out.
From memory Cara lasted a week into a 3 week trip of a lifetime. Wonder how long the trademark specialist will last.

I do actually like Anne Marie. If as others have suggested he is there for the long haul project managing I think that it great. Things may get done. Which fund would he be paid from? And if between him and Natti the building is managed better in terms of cleanliness and fixes, that has to be a benefit.

And Nic is coming back. Interesting another owner is returning.
I wonder if Amaury is going to bring his dogs with him. He was very proud pointing them out I thought. If he is staying for any length of time, he wouldn't want to leave them behind.

@ Lolander The Fleuries' latest patreon vlog, if you're interested:
This is what I don't understand, they are doing exactly the same thing as MPK & SJ but some people have no problem with it but SJ & MPK are criticised for it. They (chateau owners) don't really like AD sponsorship because they want to beg for money, they don't like unboxing products to adverstise for companies but don't mind receiving expensive gifts from viewers. All the successful youtubers (who don't use patrons) have earned most of their money from AD sponsorships. They have bought & built their businesses & houses with no assistance from patrons, go fund me or buy a coffee. They don't need to make videos explaining how they would spend their money. This is the problem, SJ has been a bad influence on the chateau owners, her employees & some of her volunteers they all want to be like her earning 20,000 from patreon per month. SJ started her patreon early last year since then all the other chateau owners have done the same (advised by SJ). Most people don't like YTubers & influencers but they don't beg for money like SJ & her g a ng, they only beg for followers, likes & subscribers & use the numbers to advertise themselves to companies for business purposes.
Yes, I don't care for the Patreon begging either. I watched Anna and Phillip today and he actually pulled up their Patreon page and asked people to go have a look at it...true, he didn't actually speak the words "please become our patron" but he might as well have! Why else would anyone go to look at their page?...and I've seen others ask also. It's begging, pure and simple. I know it's expensive to renovate a chateau, just as it's expensive for any reno, and they might be excellent vloggers and funny and talented at their professions, but it's still begging...and I'm not into seeing people who actually have (or had) money begging people to help them reno their homes/businesses. Now, when I'm out and about here and I see people asking for change or food or even asking for work, I will donate money if I have any to spare. But not these rich beggers!

This is the thing that bothers me. At least Anna tries to bring some sort of artistry to her designs, but most of the chateau-verse participants that I watch only create BnB appropriate rooms, basic bathrooms with -gasp- subway tiles and kitchens that are more suitable for a catering business than a chateau.... If they want to try really hard, they add a ghastly floral wallpaper, or a bed crown with an ugly curtain thingy...

Quite frankly, this video shows the only chateau I have ever seen to be renovated to perfection! Tasteful, bright, beautiful, uncluttered yet including some amazing pieces of art. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money.

Our real estate agent included Chateau de Falloux on the first list of chateaux we were sent when we were looking for one to buy in early 2020. It literally was the only one that did not need any further work. It was superb. Unfortunately, when we went to France last month this was already off the market!

It was owned by a wonderful American gay couple who did an amazing job fixing it! My fiancee and I were absolutely blown away by the work that was done! Apparently, the couple hated the fact that the French government is building wind turbines on the field in front of the chateau to provide green energy to the village of Le Bourge-d'Ire. The couple went into a long acrimonious legal debate. In the end, the couple decided to sell.

We can see we're close to the end of the month by every vlogger advertising their patreons and begging people to subscribe to their channels.

Thank you for posting this. The biggest take away from it is something we already knew to be true: SJ is advertising her scam by teaching other grifters how to evade taxes. The fleuries might make it sound like they are all above board, but by presenting SJ as the source of their financial planning, we know they have chosen the dark path too.

Thank you for sharing. While sponsored vlogs aren't new to the Youtube universe, it is definitely new to the chateauverse. A lot of YouTubers consider sponsorships like a badge of honor! That means they have enough viewership to garner such! A vlogger friend of mine here in NYC (he does luxury real estate) is a favorite of many sponsors! Sponsorship is a good additional revenue stream, but horrible for the viewers. At least they were contacted, and not the ones who reached out for sponsorships, unlike SJ who contacted Christie's and told everyone, they invited her! :LOL: :poop:
I hope (without irony) Dan the Gardener gets sponsored by a drone company.

Update (after watching their latest vlog):
Cringy shameless plug of their Patreon, and poor editing/tinting. He looks like he has jaundice!

And Nic is coming back. Interesting another owner is returning.
Boy, was that an announcement in direct response to us tattlers! The not so elusive Nic, Marie and stepson Antoine probably wanted to fly as low under the radar as possible, but SJ could not let them get away with that. And the fake expression of surprise by Kat should earn her some points in the charlataine's playbook. I wouldn't call N another owner, as he has clearly not taken up the responsibilities that come with such a title. An investor in SJ's endeavors , sure. Let's hope they learned from last time and he prevents his wife and stepson from showing up in her gag-show. If not, they clearly don't take the education of their child very serious and they are truly as lost as I think they indeed are, with the rest of them. There is no way SJ is not going to milk their stay to the max, we all know that.

Who knows, maybe Amor mio can bring some sense into the crazy house!
Don't be ridiculous.

Sorry guys that lame duck is sticking his pastrami SOMEWHERE!
I heard from a pea chick that Snorts did NOT lift a finger to help dejunk the workshop because he was busy dying his hair coal black and the drizzle would cause his dye to drizzle down his snout.
As for Snorts, I know many of you are convinced he is her lover, but I really think you have the wrong end of the stick. That boy is as gay as a daisy! If anything, the two of them are more inclined to play dress-up in SJ's gowns than to play hide the purple parsnip.
Porky Snorty was spotted having fun in the walled garden

And yes, SJ and FRK in bed being fake, fake fake totally proved SJ has a severe case of arrested developement .
Thank goodness i am not the only one who noticed how superficial that goodbye is, MW is doing whatever she can to milk the CD notoriety. I mean she did this youtube channel that talked about "success" but interviewed those people around her which is like doing your high school or college project. She just mostly interviewed people who are in the CD circle. Like are you gonna find a successful painter, business, etc to interview with. I notice her format and her arketing strategry kinda the same with the other interior guy. But she is more superficial than him.
