I Returned to the Château That Inspired Me 20 Years Ago…

Nearly 20 years after first visiting this extraordinary château, I return to find it at the end of an era. Its contents are being auctioned, and Philip and I have one last chance to explore - and perhaps bring a little piece of its history home to Lalande… If you're interested in becoming a Patron of The Chateau Diaries, click here: https://www.patreon.com/thechateaudiaries The Chateau Diaries Episode 1159 ✨🏰✨ Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰 This channel follows the adventures of chatelaine Stephanie in her French 16th century home, the Chateau de Lalande, in the heart of rural France ❤️ We share our life in this ancient chateau in the heart of the French countryside, and show you the diy, renovations, crafts, cooking and gardening that are needed to bring a home like this to life.
