Our friends Stephanie Jarvis & Philip Janssen of @TheChateauDiaries finally have a chance to come visit our chateau!! We have a wonderful day of antique shopping in our local village, La-Chartre-sur-le-Loir, a Mecca for car enthusiasts and also a village full of antique stores and brocantes. Even better, it's the 100 Year Anniversary of the Le Mans 24 Hour Race, and we see many beautiful antique and modern cars. See their episodes of our incredible outings plus a tour of our chateau on @TheChateauDiaries and @GrandTourofEurope
ABOUT US:
Hello! I’m Vivienne, the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful (and wonderfully funny!) husband, Simon, our daughter, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 23 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, nearly 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and —of course— antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!
