Restoring the Chapil is something thats a lot of time no rushing it.

That table setting was beautiful as ever, and the food presentation was beyond lovely. Everything was on point, down to the room rearrangement and your hair. I will miss seeing the chickens and roosters, and wondered about the peacocks. Hoping all is well with them.

The room looks fantastic now.

Sad about the chickens. You may also need to watch out for Lancelot with a fox - they could mistake him for prey or a rabbit

The Fox could have pups

It won’t be to everyone’s taste. I was staying in a hotel here in the UK last week where I covered a painting with a towel because I couldn’t bear waking up to it 😂

I am 76 ,lived in the country all my life. Foxes are nocturnol. They hunt in the evening and early morning but mostly night. If they attract during day they are ill. Repeat ill. Rabid. Call local wildlife authorities and report. Watch Molly,Ruby, and Lancelot plus peacocks closely. I am telling you this as a warning, there is something wrong with this fox!

Thank for telling us about the chickens. We feel like we know you all personally by now because of watching daily and then when we don't see the chickens we wonder what happened to them and kinda feel left out of that news . It's very sad news but now at least we know. I'm so sorry to hear about it.

The wallpaper has a less formal feeling to it, and anything too fancy and florid feels out of place. I like the dresser between the two beds, but the beds feel a bit fussy. I know it wouldn't be period perfect, but fully upholstered headboards would be nice, without footboards. That would provide more space, literally and visually, for the kind of bench Philip was suggesting. I loved Philip's choice of the bold painting by your father, I think it could set a more eclectic tone for the room.

I know that fox hunting is no longer in vogue or really even kind, but perhaps a trapper could come remove the fox before they establish a family?

I agree with previous comments, you have to get the fox situation sorted sooner rather than later. ❤

Have you ever heard of The Wolfman Of Devon - Shaun Ellis? - he works with farmers in Romania with recordings of wolves howling to imitate them marking their territory to ward off other predators. Maybe something like that would help claim the territory back.

I don't think your father's painting goes in that room 🎉

Love the music.

I'm so glad you took out that dark furniture in that small room. Stunning wall paper on it though. Love it....

What a beautiful table setting! Cloth, flowers and the exquisite china.

So sorry for chickens, solution is you can invite hunters to put traps for the foxes if they get trapped they might not come back again.

Stephanie please look after your chest. I saw it a while back & you were very bruised 😔. Hope it is ok! 👍

Keep an eye on Lancelot with the fox around. They are cunning and very smart. They will observe an area for days before attacking. They will hang around if there is a good food supply.

💖The only word that I can describe this video is OUTSTANDING ❤. The building just blows your mind. The COLOURS are indescribable magic. EVERYTHING is WILD in an exceptionally beautiful way. The more I watch the more I’m blown away 🤯.

Those foxes have been living around the chateau and woodlands since before you came. They eat rodents and other small pests, and usually leave your cats and dogs alone. Since you recently lost a couple of your charming chickens 8 months ago, and last month found your chicken run decimated, I'm wondering if you currently have a mated pair who are feeding for their kits. The best solution in my opinion is to move forward with what you are doing: build an impervious chicken run and by no means allow the chickens to roam the walled garden when no one is working in it. It would be advisable to VERY carefully examine all the outer walls and entry points to ensure no tunneling under walls. It appears the walls are all much too high to be jumped over, other than the one the new chicken run material was lifted over, but isn't the moat along that entire wall? If not that low wall is an easy entry point.

Magnificence !❤

There’s no doubt that Marie and Phillip have become essential to the Chateau. Congratulations to both. Stephanie is a very talented woman who knows how to get the best out of both. Great team!!!!!

Well good luck with the fox problem. I lost over twenty to coyotes and three goats. No matter their difficulty the restorers are doing a magnificent job. Marie it’s midnight and I now starving. I like be your hair all natural Stephanie.

For a number of years, we thought our chicken coop was secure. Then the mink found their way in began killing our chickens and the racoons began stealing the eggs while literally scaring the chickens to death. Years ago, on a summer morning, I heard a commotion in the henhouse around 5 AM. I went to investigate and witnessed the racoon in action. The carnage was terrible!! A neighboring family lost many of their chickens to a mountain lion a few years ago. I am sorry for your loss. You have my sympathies. Chuck in Northern New England

I think the softer colour looks great on you . Lean into it! Explore colour palettes that the current look opens up. So sad to hear about your chickens. Chickens always enrich a garden with character and personality 💗

Hello friends...i love Lalande and all of you. Each day in the vidéos it is nice to see the évolution..is it possible to one of you to paint the kîtchens’Grey d'or. We see them each day. They née to be painted

Yes, might check to see if you might have a den of foxes .. NOT GOOD, although they might be beautiful. . Get professionals in to live trap and take away

Phillip, you are a jewel…. Great job with the bedroom. It’s not easy with the wallpaper controlling the aesthetics.

We had the Same thing happen to our chickens so we built a really good fox proof chicken house and run and they have been safe ever since so sorry you lost yours

I 😘 the dress with the ruffled straps Stephanie-you look adorable!My twin granddaughters wore similar at the age of 3..My daughter was born in 1975

Morning lv Ann uk🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️

Care and Safety of all domestic animals is entirely the responsibility of the landowners. Live and Learn.

Oh, how I’d love to see brass or iron beds in that sweet room! I’m not sold on your dad’s painting in that location, but maybe it would grow in me. It does seem a bit shocking. Please don’t fret over my opinion, though.

The Wallpaper is the issue. Its to powerful for that size of room.

The chapel is so beautiful my favorite chapel of all! Thank you for sharing

Haha. The marijuana leaf wall paper.

Philip looks butthurt on the video thumbnail. His expression is hilarious.

Tragic, but it’s nice that there will be a more secure coop in the future

Wallpaper is far too busy hurts your eyes not a restful room 😢

Stephanie, you are a vision! So lovely! I love that you put a painting of your father in the room. It is such a sweet and romantic arrangement but the jolt of your father’s painting makes it really interesting. I was - am also close to my father and have many of his objects around the house. He passed away 43 years ago but his is a presence in my life and lives on in my heart.

No way, that bed clashes with the wallpaper and it’s too busy together. The other bed was much prettier and romantic.

Marie is super talented, her flowers have always been so beautiful, now she is creating works of art (no doubt flavourful too) on the plate. I think Marie has finally found her calling. A beautiful match of flowers and food. So happy for Marie.

So sorry to hear about the chickens you really need to be vigilant with Lancelot...don't like the modern painting in that beautiful room sorry ❤

The salad arrangement is lovely. Clever

Ok, upon reflection, I changed my mind. Here are my thoughts: The style and proportions of the twin headboards are perfect but as much as I like the design on the fabric the colors simply wash out against the wallpaper. You might want to look for a fabric with more vibrant colors without going headboard over heels. It won’t be easy. The beds with their headboards and bedding should first draw the eyes in to the room, then allow the focus to move to the room’s other furnishings, artwork and colors. The wallpaper is fine but quite strong overall and should be softened by period-piece framed art, mirrors, minor furnishings and table top accessories. Mix it up with complimentary colors and a small splash of blue here and there. Just remember the words to this song, “Blue on blue, heartache on heartache…blue on blue, it’s too easy to overdo.”

Keep an eye out for folding luggage racks. A small table and chair is always welcome at a b& b

The wallpaper reminds me of marijuana leaves. Sooo busy too. Love all the beds.

hey, I hereby confer you a michelin star for the cuisine de la chateau lalande.

Would it be possible to catch the fox and relocate it? May be Kirsty will know. Very fearful for Lancelot and future chickens😢
