Yay, I normally have to wait till Thursday to watch the videos because of Australian time! This was a very special treat before bed tonight. I laughed and cried. Marie is a beautiful, talented and strong young woman. I know she'll achieve all of her hopes and dreams for the future.

How Beautiful is Marie, so calming and gentle. She deserves every success, I am one of Marie's Patreons and love all the flower tutorials and have started putting my own bouquets together, I would recommend people have a look at her Patreon account Kx PS Love the Laura Ashley Wallpaper, they have started selling again through Next Retails website :)

It will be sad, when Marie leaves Lalande. I've sort of been hoping, she would be offered a permanent job at the Chateau 😁 I do know, she has plans for the future, but she has been a part of the crew, and the vlogs for so long. Her delicious meals, amazing flowers for any occasion - and just, her personality seems to be an asset to have for the Chateau. Stephanie, maybe consider, (if possible!), a sort of part time position as cook, maybe 3-4 days a week, plus official Chateau florist, as needed? With maybe a possibility of a small appartement, like Natis, down the line? She could then still work on building her social media 😃 It might, in future, be possible for you to collaborate on food and floristry/art workshops, and she could even, if she wanted, go work for others, like Selmar now has his license to work in France, but is based at Lalande 🙂 I just thought, that this might tip the scale in favour of Lalande, because she would have some steady income, and freedom to still persue other goals 😁 I don't have all the answers, and certainly don't know everybodies circumstances, or plans, but I just thought, it might be worth putting it out there? 🙂

What a delight to watch Marie come into her own. She's glowing with it.

Hi Rasmus👋I thought I'm the only one who's thinking hard of what to say or a brilliant ideas about Marie so she can stay in Lalande. Exactly you say it all. Fingers crossed and toes that whatever her future hold she's always a part of Lalande that we all want... Cheers 👍🙏💜🤗

Thank you for Interviewing Marie. I love that we have been able to follow her along her journey. She inspires me with her positive outlook and her love and passion for all things beautiful in life. One day I would love to meet her and chat about all things floral. As a 33 year old with out my own children I have also thought about fostering children when my husband and I buy a home. I have always enjoyed giving back to my community and Marie inspires me to get back into it. Love her love.

Such a lovely interview. With each interview and indeed each vlog I feel like I am really getting to know everyone at Lalande in a much deeper way. Thank you so much for this. I can't wait for the day when I meet everyone in person! Much love to you!

Phillip, we do love you but stop snorting so much. I'm just kidding. I'm a huge "snorter". It can't be helped I know. My son laughs at me because when you snort...I snort too. you are my people.

Marie Marie Marie!!!!! I’ve always seen you as a very private person, wanting to keep things to yourself and being just on the edge of what’s going on around the chateau. It was a true pleasure to hear a small part of your story and your future hopes, I’m sure you have made many peoples life’s better without them realising it…. Here’s hoping that at least some of you dreams do come true.

Melissa M Thiessen

I imagine that some months ago Marie would not have wanted to do this interview. It is sooo refreshing to hear her talk about her passions and her determination to make it happen. Marie was meant to be at La Lande!! Thank you Marie for being vulnerable and sharing yourself with us. Flowers and music make the world go around and Marie is a part of that - at least the flowers.

What a pure soul ....I loved it...Marie you are an inspiration to many of us never stop just being you....and Stephanie the love you have for her shines through in your eyes.....two souls who were just meant to meet.....(as an aside just wondering if Philip should be there filming..didn’t have the one on one feeling of others)

Marie has really opened up and I love it ❣️

Marie was just wonderful and thoughtful with her answers. I agree though that she seemed to glance at Philip as she was answering and more guarded in answering, not as free as the other interviews.

Wonderful interview, Stephanie. You are friends by chance, but very much sisters by choice. The bond between you is so lovely. I remember the vlog when mummy chased after Marie, and I remember you, Stephanie, trying to protect Marie from Mummy. Oh I laughed so hard! Marie has become such an important part of the journey of restoring Lalande. We will definitely all miss her when she leaves. But no matter where Marie goes in her life, it's pretty clear she will always have a special place waiting for her at Lalande. <3

Marie is so mature in her planning and working toward her goals. She has grown so much in the 2 years she has been at Lalande. She knows what she would like to do and is working toward it. For a 30 year old in this day and time-I’m so proud of her. Really, I think this is my favorite interview so far. Waiting for Philip.

I can't watch it. The video is making me seasick. A tripod, please.

Marie, first of all you are so beautiful!! Wow!!! I am sitting here watching this in love with your lipstick color, eye shadow, and that gorgeous blouse, too. So now that the shallow part of my observation has been stated…😬… I want to add that you have such a loving and philanthropic heart. You are still so young.. I believe all your dreams will come true, some just as you imagine, and others in ways that will completely surprise you. Stephanie has come to know you well, and I loved how she was able to quickly delineate all your strengths. She is right— you seem so determined, so hard-working, and focused. That kind of integrity will serve you all your life. Have a lovely upcoming weekend. 🌳🌸🌺🌸🌳

What a lovely interview with a very special lady. So refreshing to see such goodness and kindness. Thank you

Agree, I was going to say something similar. For future interviews can the camera be put back on a stand like you used to do and it just be Steph and the interviewee? Don't get me wrong, I adore Phillip but it didn't have the same private feel about it like the others have. If that makes sense. Also, I had to listen to it vs watching because the slight consistent up and down movement was making me a little seasick.

Anna Ibarra

Marie! Finally we get a he interview! 🙌🏼. Loved it. Marie to see al your futures endeavors and pray al the most for you. A kind hearted young lady is what we need more. As I was listening to your interview, I realized that you have many trades as I do. Then forgot that you are a Taurus! Maybe we truly are similar, meaning Tauruses! Lol! I too love people but I do require my own time and place. And get bothered when my plans or days don’t go as I had intended. I often now get on my own nerves! ☺️😂I’m not as organized as I used to be. But I’m much older Marie, and have learn life is short! Cannot sweat the small stuff. But what an inspiration you have been for me alone. But also to so many around the world. As for the most embarrassing moment I thought you would pick the one when you ate all the Christmas candy from the advent calandra! But the car one was hilarious! Oh my gosh! You were picking a moment to run when Isabel would eventually run after her. That was a funny episode! Ha! Episode that’s how I see Chateau Diaries. 🥰

Kimberly Dale

Endearing & Hilarious Isabelle can run but Marie runs faster .... Love love the fact that Marie&Gerrald a” we’re on the same flight... Every episode is my favorite.... 🥰 You’re all my favorites... 🙏💐💛 xoxoxo Blessings

Thank you Marie for being so forthcoming. I love your dreams of the future. My husband and I were foster parents and my dream has always been to create housing for children that need it and restoring houses to help them find themselves and their future. It has been a dream, and I hope you are able to fulfill my dream.

A very heartfelt and heart opening interview. Marie is a strong woman - being a Taurus does help with determination and creating comfortable spaces for sure. I agree with others above that it didn't feel as private or intimate as previous conversations with Philip weighing in from behind the camera. These set pieces need to staged more thoughtfully. Set the camera up on a tripod and recreate that feeling that it's just us eavesdropping on you two having a chat. There was something odd about the angle as well - the foreshortening of both your otherwise delightful thighs was most unflattering. I do agree that 'Marie's Wiikends' is genious though.

Great interview! Marie is lovely. & brave to buy the one way ticket! You’ll have your chateau someday & I can’t wait to see your dreams come true. ❤️

I agree with Stephanie. Marie has the skills to accomplish her dreams. I really enjoyed the interview. I have enjoyed all of them.

Denise Behrends

Marie, words seem inadequate to convey the captivating effect of your serene presence during the interview. You are simply luminous as you paint the picture of your dreams, grounded in your tranquil strength. I concur with those who have expressed that, during these interviews, having just the two people talking together alone in a room is more intimate.

HELLO fellow La Lande fans! There's another CHATEAU FAMILY which NEEDS HELP to keep going. Please check out "The Chronicles of Rosieres" and see if you want to increase their viewership. I think they are as charming as Anna and Philip of "How to Renovate a Chateau" - and just like them, are trying to start a new B&B in a pandemic. Thanks!

Wow- this interview has been my favourite so far- Marie is an advocate for the vulnerable. I’m an Early Years Educator here in Australia and it has always been my passion to support and love those from trauma. I seriously wish you all of the goodness in the universe, Marie, so you can have happiness for yourself and in turn support others. Seeing your heart and passion really is inspiring xxxx 💚
