The Chateau Diaries

This is our first ever episode of 'Cadeaux at the Chateau', when the inhabitants of the Chateau de Lalande gather together to receive the beautiful gifts that people have sent to us from all over the world. I used to show the gifts as part of 'The Chateau Diaries' episodes, but you're all so very generous that we have many gifts, and if we spent the episodes opening them, we wouldn't be able to show you other aspects of chateau life! So, for those of you who enjoy watching presents being opened, and as a way to thank those of you who were kind enough to send them, I've made this new video series. Every now and then, we will film your beautiful gifts whilst enjoying afternoon tea or aperitif together.

This is the epic opening of the birthday presents that you so kindly sent! Thank you for an absolutely magical day, I'm overwhelmed by everyone's thoughtfulness and generosity.
