The bedroom you stayed in was so tastefully decorated. Elegant and restful at the same time. It shows Anna's talent and good taste.
Glad you had a nice visit with Anna. She is such a sweet person.
I like Anna & Philip! Love Philip’s poker face when he actually has some jokes up his sleeves!❤
That made me laugh Stephanie "do u come here often"😂😂😂
Anna is a GEM! So much talent, kindness, dedication, love and so humble despite having every motive to be proud of her accomplishments. What a wonderful woman!
Anna is so kind and reassuring.
The 4 of you really really ought to do more videos together.
Enjoyed seeing Anna and Philip again. Such a lovely Chateau they have, and doing so many wonderful renovations,
The emergency outfit looked great, I'd stick with 'style consultant' Anna 😊
Anna's wallpaper is gorgeous. When you were describing what it would be like to be an insect in the bamboo grove, you looked so much like your mother. I think it was the flip of your hair; it was striking.
The gardens were amazing! Lalande needs some swings in the Forrest! A few flowers around..picnic areas that blend with nature..that's what comes from all your adventures! Ideas galore!! It was nice to see you visiting Phillip & Anna again. They are a fun couple!
Stephanie, your sense of humor is a rare commodity.
I think that wallpaper Anna made is as lovely as any I’ve seen, she’s so talented.
Beautiful Normandy!!! Thank you for the lovely tour!!!
their chateau is splendid.everything was done with impeccable taste and everything is neat,clean and looks just perfect.great meticulous work.
They must not have to worry about preservation of histor. if they could take down walls etc.
They're a bit too minimalist for me ...I like antiques. But I ADORE Anna's wallpaper & artistic flair!! Even though their kitchen is pristine, immaculate 7 beautiful now ...I was sad they took so much of the historic atmosphere in it & wiped it clean from the past.
What a lovely visit, those gardens are so beautiful, except for those creepy heads!
It’s the green dress curse! Happened to me in Greece when I had to go to a wedding last minute. I found a dress the night before and had it hemmed the same day. At the wedding I had something oily fall on my lap and I blame my husband of course 😂 (it’s always the men!). Brought it back to Canada and got it to the dry cleaners a week later. Went to pick it up the next week and it had disappeared 🤦♀️ that was so dramatic. I was upset cause I’m a plus size girl and it’s rare to find such a beautiful dress last minute. I got a call finally the next day and they found it. Thank god but what a saga. Hope you’re able to get that oil out.
I’m glad you had such a nice visit together. The four of you are my chateau binge watching addiction. 💜
Me too 😀
Love the interiors of their chateau, Anna and Phillip have great taste. You look gorgeous in that green dress Stephanie. Those gardens absolutely beautiful💚
Love the Clair de Lune by Debussy at the end in the gardens, completes the atmosphere.
Very lovely visit. I totally love her taste in decoration (great choice of paint colors, classy). The visit of the town was nice as well. ❤
The garden was a wow moment..I`v never seen anything like that before
I love the colors Anna use.
So enjoyed your escapade in Normandy, it's so beautiful. Stephanie you are so real... Lol you make me laugh. I want to say Thank You, for sharing your journey as Chatlanders and showing bits of your lives. Hugs to you all... Anna and Phillip are just precious, I watch them as well 🥰
Love that you are visiting Philipp and Anna! ❤
The Gardens are so amazing, it must have taken years to produce this beauty! Worth the hike to the top.🇨🇦
Thanks for the tour! Stunning gardens and magical cliff views. Love!
Dish soap removes olive oil. rub some on, wash in the washer as usual.
So glad you can turn your camera off, from time to time. Anna and Philipp are wonderful people, I found you through their channel ❤
Ask Davie if he knows how to fashion daisy shrubs for the chateau!
I loved exploring with you. Anna and Phillip are fantastic. What a beautiful place.
This is a real treat, to see two of my favorite chateau channels interacting. 😊
Liquid dish soap 30 hour before washing will take that right out, Stephanie
Steph, use the Dawn Dishwasher available almost everywhere in the world. Dawn, will take care of even old oil stains. Dawn is used to get the oil out of penguins' feathers when an oil rig strands or spills oil. I use Dawn on any old oily food spot on my clothes, and Dawn takes care of the stains every time 100%.
Oh, Scallops Risotto! And Camellias! The views around Normandy were breathtaking. The hedges were works of art. Thank you so much, Steph and Philip, for this lovely tour.
Incredible Trip, Fabulous Views,What a Beautiful Forest Such a Happy Few Days Away, Anna & Phillip Have a Beautiful Home , and are great Company, So Happy for you all 👌👍👏👏👏🥰🥰
This is a particular style of garden. It's not everybody who can maintain those perfect shapes. It's not my favorite style but I can appreciate all the work done here. Probably they figure it out with the temperature, environnement, types of trees ther also.
The gardens were magnificent. I found the heads strange but not creepy. The town looked very quaint and relieved Stephanie could purchase a change of clothes. Hoping you saved the dress from the olive oil. Phillip and Anna were the perfect hosts. They have a stunning chateau filled with Anna's creativity.❤
Thank you for bringing us to those most unusual gardens. We'll probably never be able to visit them in person so it was a wonderful treat to get to experience a little of their wonder.
Oh WOW - what an amazing garden........... and sooo good to see Phillip and Anna!
I have happy memories of visiting this area many times. Especially Honfleur harbour and the yachts and lunching outside by the waterside. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🍷🍷
Beautiful gardens and views
THOUGHT: Anna, if Benwah can’t make you a custom island for the center of the dressing room (with drawers and cubbies for laundry baskets…on wheels), consider using two identical dressers back-to-back and lay a nice piece of stone or marble (matching the bathroom) on top. It will obviously give you more storage (for jumpers, lingerie, hosiery, etc., but also a beautiful surface for a vase of flowers, picture frames, a tray of perfumes and so forth! Hope you give it a thought! Outside of that, I enjoyed the video very much Steph - thank you.
Benoit
That’s an excellent idea, hopefully I can use it in the future. Thanks 🙏
those gardens are spectacular
Cover the oil spots with Dawn dishwashing detergent. It works!
Dawn Power Wash works well too.
It's great that you don't get bend out of shape over your dress but I don't think water had a chance against oil 😉 What a garden! Amwzing ❤
She probably used a bit of hand soap as well
Thank you for taking us on your trip during the day, those gardens are amazing but, like you, the childrens' head sculptures freaked me out a bit.
Beautiful gardens and ideas for gardens in the Chateaux. Love the paneling of the 18th century. I know that Lalande lost a lot of paneling due to the fire. Hope that more can be replaced one day, not just the Grand Salon. ❤
I have watched you for years but for some reason as you were strolling to the garden I couldn’t help but think to myself about how many places I’ve never been and will never go to yet watching you I have seen so much of the world and it’s all been done so you are seeing it from your point of you not the commercialized parts and I’ve enjoyed it so much so thank you Stephanie and Phillip.
The views and the gardens are just thrilling. The perfection of all the topiaries. loved the unusual daisies. The heads looked more like old men to me. I really enjoyed your whole day. Merci
Omg! You’re in my old town!! I lived on the main road my place was called the Villa du belle aire….or something like that….I searched it and they’ve painted my villa a horrid pink color. Oh the memories! Thank you!😊💙
Ohh the gardens and landscaping look absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Stephanie and Philip 😂
that cliff and beach and gardens and landscape is gorgeous.❤ bamboo is invasive and a nightmare ! i loathe it.
Oh my goodness I loved this vlog! Stephanie you have such an adorable sense of humour and light hearted attitude. xxx
Etrata was amazing! Loved the olive oil problem. We have all experienced that and you were quite creative.
That view of the fog oozing 12:55 around the cliffs and seashore is just wonderful!
Just Wow That Garden Tour 👌👍👏👏👏💕
It was so nice to see some more history, this time in Normandy with Anna and Phillip. I agree with you Steph, the baby heads made me feel rather uneasy, loved the hedging though!
the loooked like monks rather than babies
@@jomeyer13Good point!
Thank you for taking us along with you. The Normandy stripes look good on you. You need some swings in the forest of Lalande! Brigitte 🌷
what a lovely part of france! i agree with you about the creepy baby heads - the hedges are gorgeous though. i love being at the ocean but unfortunately sometimes you get the fog and the rainy weather but who cares right.
The baby heads in the garden remind me of the witches giant baby in the anime movie “Spirited Away” and the many armed man in the bathhouse water mixing area was Sulemond ( not sure of spelling 😂) so I was surprised to see the baby heads, very similar. The gardens are stunning, they must be beautiful when in flower. 🙋🏼♀️
I love seeing all your friends chateaus! I cannot believe how they replicated the paneling. Normandy, though nippy, looks like so much fun. The Americans need to adopt the pet friendly restaurant policy!
When I lived in California the dogs were always welcome on the patio, or sidewalk seating. 'Health codes' keep them outside. Frankly, I think it depends on the dog.
Oh, I'm so sorry about your dress! That has happened to me when the nozzle of the spray bottles have not been cleaned properly and have got something in the opening gumming them up. I hope your dress has not been ruined. Hot water and soap should have been able to save it. What a lovely garden and place to have a picnic or glass of wine you have brot up! So lovely!
What beautiful countryside and the gardens were spectacular with Debussy playing. Thanks for bringing us along.
I love their decor... so clean, classic and non cluttered. Anna is so creative! The ocean views and headlands remind me of our historical village here in Mendocino, CA
they do seem to do mimalist style. but then everything is tall and seems wide that less looks less and well the lack of curtains and the furniture they have also seem to seem to emphasize mimimiism
A French Chateau was never meant to be a 'Minimalist Modern Mansion'!!! 😉 Of course, some people adore that style ...but then why not build new? For me it not only wipes away lovely memories of the past & historical context/import ...but it subtracts from the fantasy of another time & place as well. Actually, I think Anna (a designer) was shooting for a 'happy medium' between the past & more modern aesthetics. @@jomeyer13
Aren't you glad you had changed out of the dress prior to the cliff climbing?? Amazing views of the garden.
Thank you for taking us along!
Anna is so sweet. I really liked your new outfit. What a view overlooking the water, beautiful gardens too. 🦋
Best rips i go working i a restaurant was red stains use soda water to lift the srain. For oily stains dab with a little dish wash detergent and rub a little, then wash as normal. Good luck
Use dish liquid on the oil. It's meant to cut the grease off your dishes. It does work. 🙂🇨🇦 You should put swings in the woods around the chateau. It would be a lovely place to relax.
What a garden!! Imagination made solid!! I never seen such a beautiful green design topiary, very original and dreamy. This garden shows that you don´t need flowers, only different shades of green. A lot of work though!! I can see many gardeners working frantically to keep all the forms and shapes intact. A lovely city too. A very nice excursion with good friends! Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed it a lot!
I see the garden was worth the trek it took to get there
Visited and stayed the night in the lovely town of Étretat back in 2017 in Normandy. We did the same climb up those wonderful cliffs and bought hats and sweaters too!
I watch both of your you tube channels❤ Love the garden minus the heads. There was a lot of inspiration there for Philip @How to renovate......😊 You are an inspiration Stephanie, nothing gets in the way of you having fun (not even oil all over your dress)❤❤❤
Anna would probably already know this, but talcum powder gets oil out of clothing. I eat out a lot & somehow end up with something oily on my clothing. I just cover the stain in talcum powder & leave it for a few days to soak up the oil, then shake the excess powder off & launder the item as usual. Works better with natural fibres than it does with synthetic.
Flour also does the trick, tried & tested 👍🏻
Stephanie, you’re the epitome of style and grace and elegance!You handled the oil like a champ. If it were this NYC mama, first- cussing up a storm second- flipping out because it’s silk, 3- I would be demanding they pay for dry cleaning! 🤣🤣😜 I wish at 57 years of age, I could be more like you. Instead, I’m a mix of trucker and sailor, with a Huge heart.♥️ I love it when you visit Ana and Philipp. Such a nice family. Love from sunny 🌞 Florida. (It was 80f today)
Stephanie, you are the best always! That Green colour on you is outstanding you should wear that colour more just beautiful !!!!!!
And it made her eyes look very green!
Normandy looks beautiful! Thanks for bringing us along!!
The faces in the garden remind me of people squinting in the sun while enjoying the view. Of course you didn’t have sun so they looked kind of creepy! I love watching Phillip and Anna’s channel. Phillip is funny!
This is wonderful that you got to see Anna and Philip and what a wonderful time you had! Wonderful!
There must a load of gardeners who keep the topiaries trimmed. This is such a beautiful sculptures gard. I agree the baby heads is a bit creepy.
omg only a few minutes in but i needed to say this; THIS GREEN ON YOU!! what a collor, beautiful
Those gardens. Wow!!
If you just just dabbed soap on each dot of oil it may have helped 😁 but the jeans and sweater matching Anna’s looks amazing too 🙌🏻
Love my OG chateau family! Is the next stop Mr. Petherick’s? I know I’m not the only one missing him. Love Anna too and hope to take her class one day.
Thank you for the tour of the exquisite gardens 🌟
What an impact a little spraybottle can have.... but it's nice to watch how you cope with it!!!😁
Theory: the restaurants in cahoots with the fashion shop.
😂
Loved this episode ❤ what a wonderful friendship you have with Anna and Phillip. I am so happy that they showed you such kindness and gave you this special break xxx
Anna is so lovely ...and Phillipe is even funny on occasion. Love his cabin in the Alps!!
Such a beautiful city.Thank you so much for taking us along.I love watching ANNA AND PHILLIPS CHANNEL.The bunnies were adorable.
Looks like The Secret Garden.
I loved the baby faces, they were cute ❤
Such lovely music to accompany the tour of the Gardens ❤
What beautiful gardens, yes the heads could have not been there.
The hedge gardens were inspirational and very beautiful! Lovely vlog!🙏❤️
Lol i loved Phillips escort comment you have such a great sense of humour but can also show yourself as a very clever knowledgeable women i lived todays vlog was great fun while showing us some beautiful places xx😊
Thank you Stephanie & Philip. What a treat! Every time watching your vlog, is an investment!!
Beautiful church beautiful looking lunch and Garden.
A great day out.
I’m so glad that I’m not alone (ie. weird) in feeling sorry for derelict houses & wanting to restore them & make them happy again 🥰🇨🇦
