ABOUT US:
Bonjour! I’m Vivienne, an artist, designer, antique & vintage jewelry dealer, and also the châtelaine of a small 19th century neo-Renaissance castle in the Loire Valley of France, which I share with my delightful husband, Simon, our daughter, and —whenever possible— lovely friends and family.
This is not our first chateau! 25 years ago, we bought a much larger castle nearby, which we loved with all our hearts. However, after 2 decades, many happy memories, countless renovations, and several small fortunes later, we made the very difficult, empty-nesting decision to downsize. With great luck and perseverance, we found our current petit château, which we are now decorating and updating with love, humour, comfort, and —of course— antiques and art!
We adore France and its many unique facets: its people, culture, landscapes, wine, food, art, and history. We also love being surrounded by châteaux, both public and private, which we can explore together! After 20 years here, we have learned many things about living in France, renovating châteaux, and appreciating the extraordinary riches surrounding us. We originally decided to make these videos as a way to share our lives with our loved ones worldwide during the pandemic lockdowns. However, we soon realised that many others are at home alone, and it is our privilege to open our home to you, our new friends. We hope you will join us on our adventures in this exceptional location, and we look forward to sharing a little Château Love!

VIVIEN.. THAT BATH IS GORGEOUS!!! Great job you two did! Fantastic! You could even go further and paint the floor BLACK!! Any draperies for the window? Love your videos!
Absolutely stunning 🥰🥰
Love doggie cuddles!
Fantastic job🎉
The bathroom turned out to be spectacular. Vivienne your mural is exquisite, you are such a gifted artist. You now need to treat yourself to a nice long, relaxing soak in that glorious tub with the candles lit, a glass of wine and some lovely music playing.
You two are a true team! Simon is an expert craftsman and you are such a talented artist and decorator, you are a formidable renovating duo. Bravo, job well done!
❤
I know a lot about the Napier company. My father was one of the owners and worked for them for 42 years.
The doggie cuddles were so genuine and happy. Thanks for keeping them in the vlog.
Absolutely beautiful you did a amazing job bro
I don't care what anyone else says, I think it's a masterpiece!!! I just adore the toilet seat.
Absolutely stunning bathroom. You are so blessed to have the artistic talent that you have. ❤
That Chateau has never had it so good! Thank you for sharing!
your bathroom is stunning and I love the way you even put in the first mirror. Honestly I wouldn't change it as it is, that the one is broken and you fixed it gives it character no need to make it over perfect. Now it is a piece of art❤❤❤❤👍👍🥰🥰
STUNNING ❤xx
SO Beautiful!!
Your painting is absolutely gorgeous!

I would like to say you and your amazing husband are so talented and a real treat to follow your adventures and progress in your chateau, the bathroom is a work of art best wish to you and your family and thank you for been able to follow your journey.

Beautiful Vivian and your husband is amazing .. Hope you let your husband know he is a gem
This stunningly beautiful bathroom looks like a jewell box 💎💎💎💎💎 !
It's hilarious that Simon can never say "I broke the mirror." 😄 Today, it was mentioned as "the big mishap" and "had a little accident." 😆 Love ya, Simon.
Vivienne, you're such a fabulous and talented artist! Your mural absolutely made the bathroom!
Simon, your work is fabulous. What a team!
The attention to detail has created a very special space. I'd hang out in that bathroom any ol' time…perhaps with a glass of bubbles in the bath 😁🥂🛀🏻
It looks so goshdarn gooood!
Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand
You are both incredibly talented. It’s so stunning, well done.
Beautiful, I hope you signed your mural, I am sure it will be there for generations and people will want to know who painted it.
