Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world-traveling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Château de Saint-Germain-des-Prés. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Château. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

Love it when you go sightseeing. Any brocantes around? Spring is around the corner, any gardens open to the public? How is your garden doing? Any snowbells yet? Thanks for including us in your journey.
Wonderful video 🥰🥰
You guys are extremely blessed to be close to so many beautiful places filled with history, thank you for taking us with you, maybe sometime you can ask a realtor to take you into a house like the lopsided one so that we can kind of get a glimpse of some of the cool, neat whimsical places. I know I would enjoy that. Sending love from Indiana, USA.❤
I was very surprised to discover that Coco Chanel was a Nazi sympathizer. There is another chateau vlog that is the rebuilding of Chateau de Chaumont (Escape to Rural France) which at one time owned by Jean-François Mironnet, stewart of Coco Chanel, and his wife. It was used 1939 and 1945 to rescue approximately 3,000 Jews among which included 1,000 children. Interesting read.
Hiya, Thankyou for sharing. Interesting re Coco Chanel. Take care from a chilly snow covered Ont Canada 🐝🇨🇦
BEST
Thank you for the ride
One of my MOST favorite of your videos ever!
What a dessert: education, eye candy, and places to research from your visitations.
An inspiration on many levels.
If you offered a 'writing' retreat with places like this, as you both the tour guides, sign me up!
Merci.
👍👋❤️
Hi Sara and Steve, the mirror and the mantal look perfect. I loved this video, a road trip with beautiful architecture and fascinating history. Thank you for bringing us along. Love from N.Y.
thanks for taking us there, that is really waterfall and cathedral was really neat to see
Very interesting when you pointed out about the stain glass pattern and the Chanel logo!
Glad you’re out and about… sharing history with us!
Curious about your roof repairs. Would love some info.!
😍 Thank you Sara & Stephen………a brilliant mix of sightseeing, history & château decorating!! 💖💖
Great episode!! Loved the travel and history. Great job on the mirror and pictures. Very pleasing to the eye.
Both Aubazine and Bergerac were not only interesting but beautiful, each in their own way. Thank you for sharing.
Always fun to get things up on the wall! Love the balance, and how it reflects the window light. ♥️
What a couple pretty towns. Thanks so much for the tour and history.
What a lovely blue sky! Interesting Vlog. Well done the mirror hanging, so precise. Evelyn ❤ x
I’m sure that house was for sale 2 years ago. Lovely to revisit Bergerac ❤ thank you
Loved the outing today, thank you. The music was perfectly robust for the structure. Interesting canal and catch basin. Vignette looks well curated👏🏻
Being bought up with nuns also influenced her fashion with the black & white look. There are a lot of symbols in her life that have meaning in her work. She was a woman ahead of her times.
How cosy it becomes with the paintings on
Thank you for sharing your road trips, not only are they both beautiful and interesting places, they are not too far for me to travel to from my house in Treignac (a beautiful little town, also well worth a visit). You have inspired me to take some time out to explore these lovely places when I am next there.
Love the vignette, the balance is just perfect 🙂 xx
Love the history behind your trip to these beautiful towns. Thanks for taking us along 😍😘
Watching g on mu television so that I can see everything better.
Thx Steve and Sara for the tour and history on Coco C. ❤
The La Tour room has really come into its own with the mantle decoration and mirror

Mirror and mantle look beautiful.

Hi Lovely people, I hope you enjoyed the Indian restaurant, Bergerac its my favourite place to visit, wonderful Saturday market, however the restaurant next door La villa Laetitia " is superb! The desserts are incredible! Thanks for a great vlog 😍

I would have bolted it through the wall. But that's just me.
