I used to show the gifts as part of ' @The Chateau Diaries ' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new channel. Every week we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.
It is very important to me that you know that we in no way expect anyone to send us gifts. I would like to go further than that and add that, if doing so will put you in any financial difficulty whatsoever, please, please do not send us anything. Knowing that you join us by watching 'The Chateau Diaries' gives us all an enormous boost. But for those of you who have sent these incredibly thoughtful gifts, I hope that seeing us open them gives you a fraction of the joy that you've given us 💖💖💖
If you would like to see more of our life at the chateau, please go to our main 'Chateau Diaries' channel:

Oh my. So many stunning gifts!! Very gifts ppl. Stephanie.Mummy, PERCY Gerry. ALL VERY BLESSED!!
The crystal snowflake ornament is a tradition with them. They release one every year. We currently have over thirty. They are valuable and expensive. It’s a lovely tradition.
Scott Man... EVERYBODY loves when Stefanie comes to visit! ❤️🙏
Wonderful to see you all together again--it's always lovely to see Isabelle, Percy and Scotman Gerry. Such beautiful gifts! It's amazing, the things people send, and they love finding or creating special gifts for you. If I ever get back to weaving again I'd love to make a special basket for your kitchen or garden. 🙏🏻🌷⚜️💗⚜️🌷🙏🏻
Tennessee or Tanasi is a Cherokee Indian word that means “where the waters meet”. Good to see Gerry, Percy, and your beautiful Mama again!
Isabelles' hair looks so soft, pretty and styled perfectly to frame her face..It's neat, fresh and beautiful...I noticed it immediately before you said anything about her having it styled. It is strikingly perfect for her.
ME TOO!!!
I thought the same!
I liked it. I am sure she used that clip to help keep the hair out of her eyes and face while trying to do things. I am still pinning my back. I should get a style like hers.
First thing I noticed!
So nice to see Your Mother and Percy and Gerald all together again. Beautiful gifts. have a blessed time together. Love to all ❤
I love the sheer black, with colored, blue sparkle.
How good to see Lady Isabelle (cracking new haircut!) and Sir Percy again and the second most famoust Scotsman after Sean Connery 😀
A nice way to wake up with coffee, watching you all together. :) Love the purple on Mummy.
Always nice to see Stephanie, Gerry, Isabelle and Percy. The reason we started watching the channel. Really miss them being together on a regular basis.
Definitely pronounced "Buffit". Wonderful fellow. I was able to go sailing with him back when the earth was cooling. "Cheeseburger in Paradise." You will find yourself singing along!
So many laughs watching this. Such lovely people you are. Yes, please do donate to animal rescue/shelters. They are innocents that need our help when not so lovely people let them down. xo
Oh I just love Isabelle and Percy, the sweetest people. And I love the haircut Isabelle! Stephanie you're just so sweet with your Mother, it's a joy to see that.
Had I been there, I'd have wrestled each of those caftans away for myself! Gorgeous! As Steph said, it would be delightful to wear them all day long - as they do in many cultures. What wonderful gifts for all of you, and lovely to see Isabelle, Percy and Gerry, they've been away from Lalande for far too long!
I Just want to give Miss Isabelle a biggggggg hug Miss Isabelle you remind me of my Mama …. I Love You!!
Isabelle and Percy look so healthy and inspiring to all the viewers. Love to you all x
I adore you mother’s hair. I noticed right off. Well done Percy.
Seeing you and your Mummy together is just the sweetest thing! You are so lucky to have that. I have never had that so when I do see loving wonderful mother daughter relationships it just melts my heart. 💜💜
Stephanie, oh my, it’s always such fun with Gerald, your mom & Percy around. So glad to see them…they’ve been missed, for sure! And so neat you were sent the Dolly book ( and so many other fab things from Tennessee!) I just saw a video of Dolly’s new song WORLD ON FIRE that she sang at the 58th ACM (American Country Music) Awards Show. I was blown away! If you haven’t seen it….you gotta take a look! I’m telling you! Dolly has spoken and she’s telling politicians what she thinks…and they better listen too! But of course, Dolly does her music in the most creative and wonderful way. She is a spitfire. I just love her ❤….she’s an American treasure. It’s hard to believe she’s 77! Yes..the wigs, the makeup, the plastic surgery, the “upper profile.” But still it’s hard to look that good at 77 even with all that “help!” She’s the consummate performer! You go Dolly!
I couldn't stop smiling through this episode. You all are so darling!
The horse shoes shouldn’t be hung with the open end hanging down,because they say all your luck will run out. So great to see your Mom and Percy and Gerry!
If U hang horseshoes upside down ur luck will run out. The horse shoes for keeping ur luck.must be hung like a *,U* TO KEEP UR LUCK INSIDE!!
So lovely to see the family 🎉 together again and opening the wonderful gifts. Love the laughter and happiness you all share. Sending much love to all 💕 and thanks. Such joy !!
Isabelle looks soooo joung and beautiful!!!!! And very happy!❤
Like many names in the US, Tennessee’s originates from a Native American tribe. “TENNESSEE: Name is of Cherokee origin from a tribe located at a village site called Tanasse (also spelled Tennese). The State is named for its principal river, which has been interpreted as meaning "bend in the river." However, this has not been substantiated, and the meaning is considered to be lost.”
I just wanted to support the request for a donation to be made to an animal charity.Wildlife and animals are such a lovely part of life at La Lande and there are so many animal charities currently desperate for support following the pandemic and economic crisis.
Many US states and city names originate from First Nation names. I figured that was the case here, so I looked it up. The name Tennessee derives from "Tanasi", a Cherokee town in the eastern part of the state that existed before the first European American settlement.
I just love the way mummy looks at Stephanie as she reads 😍 it makes me heart burst ❤👩👧
I love seeing all of you together however since I have not watched from day one. (I often just skip around or whichever video pops up next) I never have figured out what the relationship is with Scotman, is he your uncle? [not that it is any of my business😌] I just love ❤him so much and his humor always makes me laugh 🤣 I do often binge watch your videos. But I would like to know more about Gerry but can't seem to catch the right videos to learn more! 🧐😉....🤗😊❤ and Isabella and Percy are so adorable. I miss my mother very much and you and your mother often reminds me so much. Thank you for sharing your lives with us ❤ from 🇺🇸
Good to see the reunion. Everyone is looking wonderful. Great gifts. Blessings.
As the channel grows and more people find you they will go back and re-watch all the older videos on the main Channel but they will also come here and watch so I think the revenue from this channel will probably continue for quite a while. That makes me happy. I think you are a really good example of how a KZheadr can use their platform for good. I wish more channels who do receive gifts from viewers would do something like this. It really is inspirational. You are spreading light in the world and I really respect that.
I love seeing you all! So sweet.
you see this is what i enjoy the most , love hearing and seeing all the well wishes , i will certainly miss it ,hiya to isabel and percy and good to see you scottman
What a pleasure to see the family together in England, or Lalande or South Africa, or wherever travel takes you, so thank you for sharing another Chateau Unwrapped treasure-rama. On a side note, looking at something of a theme that carried through this adorable video… Though inevitably it’s understood that a little rain must fall and each of the seasons bring us their challenges, here are some sincerely lighthearted thoughts from an admitted and unwavering seeker of ‘la vie en rose.’ For maximum joy and sweet memories to cherish, warm your heart with family gatherings, feed the soul with laughter and heat your home for comfort… because life is too short and time is too precious to lose with even a day spent wrapped and braced against the chill. Cold has its place outdoors. One’s home should be an inviting and cosy shelter to keep the elements at bay. Treat yourself well, you deserve it. Stay warm, stay wise and stay well.
So well said!
I Love Miss Isabelle and Mr. Percy, and of course Scotsman if I ever marry it will have to be a Scottish Man ….. They are all the sexiest of men… ( they are real men….thank GOD)!!!
Wonderful to see the family reunion, in good mood as always when you are together 😍
Some of my favorite people ❤❤ all together in one place😊❤ Loved this reunion 🎉God Bless and keep you safe 🙏 ❤️
Oh my goodness, Gerald is the flying nun! Always so much fun!!! ❤😂🎉
Funny seeing the fire truck go by …definitely not rural Lalande❤. I love having everyone back together! Percy in that hat and his grin was too funny! The hats are fun!
I was so happy to see you Stephanie, and hear Philip, with Gerry, Mummy and Percy. it was an absolute delight. Such a wonderful family. Love to all!
Oohh mummy percy and Gerry love seeing them
Purchase a slip dress for underneath those beautiful garments! So many gifts!
Scotsman…..the stone in the jewelry looks similar to Cairngorm stone from Scotland. How thoughtful the gifts and very personal. Enjoy you all!
You're all looking so well and happy! Such a lovely thing to see! Isabelle...your new hairdo looks fabulous and those bracelets suit you so much! Lovely to see Scotman looking so well and Percy, as handsome and lovely as always! Have a wonderful time together! 🥰🤗😘💖
Gerry how wonderful it would be to get a ride in your cab with you. Sadly in northern California USA. Mummy that turquoise overdress with the turquoise sun hat would be lovely on you.
I live in the southern valley of Tn. The butterflies are a trademark of Dolly. Her theme park Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tn has butterflies throughout the park. Some of the garden beds and hedges are butterfly shaped. Pigeon Forge is at the beginning of the Smokey Mountains. Beautiful state I live in.
Its so cute that Stephanie can't wait to touch everything!
I loved seeing Gerry his one of my favs, love you Gerry. And your mum and Percy, it was such lovely get together. Love it cheered me up so much.
Mommy’s hair looks great. Lovely to see everyone together again.😊
Such a joy to see you all again!
Isabelle, Percy and Scotman look well rested. Good to see you all!!!!
Watching again. I love seeing the original gang back together. ❤ Puns galore.The jewelry is fantastic. The clothes are great. What era are they? And books for a Summer read. See you at the Chelsea Flower Show. ❤❤
I love those three, they are amazing and full of life. My favorite is your mom Isabelle GOD BLESS HER. She is the epitome of class.
TENNESSEE: Name is of Cherokee origin from a tribe located at a village site called Tanasse (also spelled Tennese). The State is named for its principal river, which has been interpreted as meaning "bend in the river. We will be stopping at Dollywood in Tennessee on our way to Florida. I'll ask about the refrigerated clothes. Glad to see Isabelle and Percy back on the blog! God bless!!
Yeah the bands back together. Scot man Percy and Isabell we have all missed you. You are all looking well. Thank you for another enjoyable video. Sending peace and love to you all. Greetings from England
Lovely to see the gang altogether again! Much love from Minnesota where you can find folks wearing shorts shoveling snow in March and sweaters worn in June sitting around a campfire.
It's so lovely to see you all together again with some lovely gift's too X💕🌼🤗
What a wonderful time with y’all!! Always lots of laughs. I’m from central Texas and grew up with horses, as my grandfather was an avid horseman. I see the horseshoe on Mummy’s wall. It’s hanging the wrong way! Its luck is running out. The shoe should be hanging with the ends up, toward the ceiling. 19:57
You're in for a real treat when look up Jimmy Buffet. He's amazing and so are all the parrotheads! ❤
So good to see the family together again. When you read the one parcel was from Illinois my ears perked up. I am from Illinois originally now reside in Southern Ca. Then when I heard you say Crystal lake !! My family is there in Lake in The Hills which is the next township over !! What a small world.
So nice to see you all together again💗! And thank you for all the positivity you put into the world. I am uplifted and inspired. I hope all of you enjoy a beautiful week and keep warm. 😁
Goodness, Buffet fans will be crushed! Lol Those beautiful hats can be steamed lightly and reshaped to remove any wrinkles or bumps
So lovely to see you with Isabelle, Percy and Gerry, Stephanie. Your heart must be full ❤
What a treat to see you all reunited and so happy. Mummy’s hair looks beautiful and she looks so young! Your love for each other shines so brightly making all who view this video smile and our hearts full. Thank you so much🥰
As always, caddeau is fabulous. So great to see Isabelle Percy and Scotsman❤.
Miss Isabell I love your hair cut ….. you are so Beautiful!!!
It is so nice to see Isabelle looking at these gifts now that she has healed from the eye surgery, she looks wonderful and she most definitely can see it all!
Wonderful Video again! Glorious to see Mummy and Percy back! Teresa is the most generous, thoughtful lady to send such amazing gifts! I can't believe how beautiful, and perfect the kaftans etc AND hats were for you and Mummy!!! Percy had such a glint in his eye!🤣Sandi x can't wait to see them in Lalande again, dressed to kill!
Everyone looks great! Love seeing you all together! OH how I've missed Mummy!
So many beautiful things, as always. Isabelle looks good with her hair down. But she is like me, and likes to put it back with a barrette, instead. 😄
Isabelle’s hair style is very flattering! My daughter went to Dollywood earlier this year and loved it. What fun, as usual, to enjoy you and cadeaux. Thank you for sharing!
Mummy and Percy are just so adorable ❤ as are you and Philip ❤ lovely to see you altogether again ❤
Mummy, you look lovely!! Hugs from sunny Arizona 💖😎💖
Merveilleux ! Le plaisir de vous voir heureux recevoir de très belles choses. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Like Percy's Whistler jacket. Hi from 🇨🇦
Isabel is definitely a hat lady. She is adorable. I've missed her so.
Bonsoir Chers Château De Lalande, c'est si merveilleux de vois revoir avec Jerry. Maman ! Vous êtes très bien coiffée ! Si jolie comme ça ? Percy are you allright ? And You Jerry ! So nice that you are here too ! We hope that everything goes well for You Jerry ?
Merci Bénédicte
I absolutely adore Percy's sense of humor, he is so funny❤
Please consider some fund raising musical garden parties this summer to help with the chapel renovations..can you also receive help from the French version of historical buildings and perhaps private groups??? You have so many talented people around you that it would be quite easy to put on a few of these types of events. Love your vlogs and cheering you on from Canada
Isabella seems to look younger each year. Love the hair style. With all the wonderful hats, I think a day at the races is a must for the Lalande gang.
can I say how much I LOVE Isabelle's hair? It looks fabulous! (as do the hats)
So nice to see the family all together..😊👍🇨🇦💕💞💖😎 gifts are beautiful as always ..sending love
That creole powder is in mine and all my friends cupboards! It's awesome 👍. Desiree from Oklahoma.
So nice to see you all together again🥰 safe travels back to LaLand. Xo
Isabelle and Percy are so sweet! So glad you could’ve with them.
Isabell was a big inspiration , just had EYE SURGERY on both eyes and I wasn’t afraid thanks to her example 🌷now I have 20/20 vision in both eyes 🌷🍒🍄🍄😎😎🍄🌷🌷
So happy for you
Such a wonderful video and seeing everyone.❤
I was just going to comment on how lovely Isabelle’s hair looked & then you mentioned she had just had it done.
Of course, you all must have a Jimmy Buffet night!❤😊
Thank you for the video. I always enjoy cadeau!
Maybe you can approach a high church in France to adopt the Chapel for restoration. They also might have suggestions about funding restoration of the Chapel. May the force be with you all.
That was a lovely reunion. Thank you for including us.
Omg what was said about Jimmy Buffet (rhymes with tuffet) made me laugh. ‘It is 5 o’clock somewhere” is a refrain he’s known for. Nice to see you three!
Isabell’s haircut is lovely.
I agree .. short and sassy, just like the lovely Isabelle... !!!!!
So nice to see the family together again, love all the gifts xx lots of love from Australia 🦘🦘🦘
Tennessee is a very humid climate. Things mold quickly unless kept in a climate controlled environment. That's why Dolly Parton keeps her clothes cool. Also, moths are prevalent in the Southern USA. Isabel looks years younger with her new hair color and styling. She has such lovely skin and facial features and her bangs frame her face nicely. 😊
Love Isabell's new hair, beautiful!
Stephanie you have to have a Tennessee dinner from those cookbooks with Country Music 🎶
TENNESSEE: Name is of Cherokee origin from a tribe located at a village site called Tanasse (also spelled Tennese). The State is named for its principal river, which has been interpreted as meaning "bend in the river." However, this has not been substantiated, and the meaning is considered to be lost.
Glad to see you Isabelle & Percy!
Love love your mom's haircut! I hope she keeps thet style and doesn't clip it she looks 10 yrs younger! Nice to see you all together again! Thank you for sharing xB❤
