I happened to catch a CNN article about a vlog on a Chateau in France called de Lalande. According to their website, The Chateau de Lalande, a magnificent 16th century chateau, lies nestled in the heart of France, amidst rolling meadows, ancient hedgerows and woodland. This corner of the Berry was described by the romantic novelist, George Sand, as la vallée noire, an enchanting earthly paradise.
As the CNN article noted, What do you get when you put a former opera singer, two ex-boyfriends, her French mother, an adopted Scottish brother, a Dutch tango instructor, a Norwegian flower designer and a cheery Argentine house manager together into a sprawling 40-room French chateau? Well, you get "The Chateau Diaries," the unlikely YouTube quarantine hit that has made a star of Stephanie Jarvis and her friends and family.
There are so many videos to watch, but given it’s Christmas time, check out the Advent Calendar of daily posts. The ones from 2019 are much shorter than 2020 -guess quarantine gives you more time to film and perfect.
This is more than just a “quarantine family,” this is clearly people enjoying one another’s company in unique ways. It’s a refreshing way to see the world through art, music, fun and just plain enjoyment of others.
Here are some links where you can learn more about this amazing place:
