Join us on a fascinating tour of the ruined outbuildings of our chateau as we discover treasures and surprises left behind by the previous owners. We also take a stroll through the enchanting woodland that once belonged to the estate, with our beloved dogs leading the way.
Later, we host a delightful dinner party with our wonderful chatelain friends. Plus, Claire sits down with Lionel for an exclusive interview about his incredible experiences photographing the British Royal Family.
Please join us for this episode of Our Chateau Life, and if you have any questions or there is anything you would like to see more of – let us know in the comments.

I really enjoy your videos, but the background music early during the kitchen scene was way too loud! I couldn't hear most of what was being said. Looking forward to more from your channel!
Could not hear Claire at the beginning. Very interesting life Lionel. Great fun!!! Those book pages will make amazing framed wall art!
I have lots of Princess Diana items, a few Franklin Mint Dolls and her doll fashions by Franklin Mint. Her anniversary of her Death Aug 31, 27 Years.
You should do a Photo Book of the Royals Princess Diana.
Lo de hoy muy interesante me gusto😊 y por. Favor las recetas completas? 😂 van bien muy bien 👍🏻 hasta la próxima 🎉
Find this so interesting
Wow, you two really nailed a winner right out of the park…!!! It was diverse, real, interesting and informative…I love all the history researching…!!!
Love seeing all the great finds. I hooe you frame some of those beautiful prints. Thank you so much for sharing.
Naughty French books, lingerie, and religious statuary. It’s a new niche for youtube! Very fun!
You might want to try puttying on one of the plays you found, at one of your parties. 😁
Unfortunately, I couldn’t understand the first half of what you were cooking – the music was too loud. 😢
Interesting stories. Dianna was just a few months older than me, and over here what little I’d heard was that she was a commoner. So I had assumed that meant she went from a typical suburban life (like mine), to sharing an apartment with some friends (like me), to living in a palace (most definitely Not like me 😉). So back then, I tried to imagine how I’d feel, if I went through that kind of crazy life change. Later, I learned that her family was extremely wealthy and that she was not a “commoner” by any standard I’d recognize, and that she’d grown up in a palace (or what to an American would be a palace, even if that’s not the technical term for such a place). It’s interesting how differently we view things on either side of the pond.
I absolutely love your presentation and am so looking forward to visiting you guys and seeing your beautiful Chateau.
Another fabulous episode, merci🌷
I can still to this day remember when i heard the devastating news of when Princess Diana was killed in the car crash , i was at the time heading to the Fishin Chip shop to pick up Dinner i heard it while driving there . I had to go in and pay for the Chips but i could not hold back the tears and the shock of what i just heard . She was a stunning lady that stole all of our hearts and i miss seeing her on TV and in magazines etc . 😢💜
Well yes you have many more weeks sorting these items, it is unbelievable what previous owner leave especially in France. Good to also see that you are a Vegemite connoisseur, that turns a British breakfast into an Aussie breakfast 😊. With your electrics are your chasing the walls to hide the cables? What a wonderful formal table setting, certainly worthy of a Marquis of a Chateaux. Your previous career in photography within the Royal family was absolutely fabulous, did you have to sign a confidentiality agreement? We are looking forward to future renovations, discoveries, discussions that make you pair very interesting. Thank you god bless 🙏👍😇💒
I’ve never heard of beaten cucumbers! What a fun episode…naughty underwear and everything 😃
A chaque vidéo que je regarde vous nous emportez dans un histoire.Qu'elle soit du passé, du présent ou avenir vous nous transportez dans un voyage fabuleux. Merci pour ça.
What a treasure trove!Such a pleasure to see a couple of people who understand and thoroughly enjoy it, not to mention preserving it! The woods are magnificent! What a glorious countryside. Much love to you both! <3
Hi again. really enjoying the vlogs. Just thought i would mention that sometimes the music is very over powering as beautiful as it is. I think you will really get a lot of followers. Perfect mix of content.
Loved the part when you talked about your job as a royal photographer,very fascinating!!
Wasn’t Jocelyn a wonderful picture editor. A great video Lionel, so many memories.
Thank you for such a lovely tour and really enjoyed hearing about the Royal Stories…..you are such a lovely couple and I really enjoy your channel…..thank you!! 🇨🇦
The tomato was missing!
I noticed a comment about your sound issues and thought I’d share what I used when making training videos with audio. Somewhere in your software there should be a function to “normalize” your audio file. This adjusts the all the sound files to the same loudness level which makes it much easier to control and then to underlay music at a softer level. If your software doesn’t have that function, you can export your sound files to something like Audacity which is a free audio mixing software that includes the ability to normalize your sound and then import it back into your video editing software. I hope that helps. I am really enjoying your videos!
Wonderful vlog. Great to see what treasures were just thrown away and to be given an insight into Royal life. Thanks for sharing.
ah…what a beautiful thing to go through the stuff that other people left…I love making up stories about what they used it for…why they discarded of it up there. Old fashion magazines are a favorite of mine…all these beautful cloths and the advertisements where just so fun!
the misic is to loud
Thank you for your history bites, very interesting.
And Thank you both of bringing laughter and love thru your vlog’s.
Wish you both much success!!!!
Wonderful intro drone shot and music. Yum! Love a good ole English breakfast. You guys have great senses of humour which really is a must in renovation times. Interesting outbuildings with lots of treasures? Thank you for giving us a snip bit of your before life loved hearing it all. Look forward to your next video. Thank you ❤
Those books and papers are so amazing. I am sure a museum or dramatic society would love to see the plays , You should frame some old pictures for a chateau wall.🤗
