The Chateau Diaries

Since arriving in France last July we decided not to set up for french TV, mainly because we just don’t sit and watch much TV, but what we do love to watch, and we’ve been watching since it’s inauguration in 2019, is the Chateau Diaries. This is a channel available to watch on YouTube, and is produced and presented by Stephanie Jarvis, who has appeared in Channel 4’s ‘Escape to the Chateau DIY’ series.

She presents two episodes in the week, on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s, normally around 30 minutes long. They describe life in her chateau, which under normal circumstances she runs as a chambre d’hôte, but with the pandemic things have been a bit different. She has an amazing bubbly, upbeat personality, and is a delight to watch. It’s great to see how creative she has been in some very tough times, and how successful. She now has 140,000 subscribers. There are a lot of content producers on YouTube, not all good, but this is worth a watch.
