Escape to the chateau with 'The Chateau Diaries' 🏰

Hands up ..who loves Dan?! good things couldn’t happen to a better bloke ! 🥰

[poodlegirl]

It was obvious from early on that Dan was a star. He is so hardworking and talented and has such a pleasant personality and dry sense of humor.

I love the Chateau Diaries for multiple reasons and one of them is Dan. Steph, if you had not hired Dan, none of this would be happening. You and Dan, your friendship and laughter, are the best. You don't just make the Chateau bloom. You do the same with people. That is a very precious gift. So proud of Dan. Thank you for bringing him into our lives. Love to all the Lalanders. Keep on blooming.

Stephanie's generosity has launched a thousand careers.

That was truly nice of you Stephanie and Philip to bring Dan dinner. You guys must have had a wonderful visit!

My day isn’t complete until I watch Dan, thank you Stephanie for introducing Dan to us.

What a wonderful tribute to a fabulous friendship.
His back tattoo is perfect....he will never walk alone as long as he are all here for him. I've never seen a man who is so naturally good at so many things. Thank you Stephanie for showing everyone Dan the Legend ❤️

I am joining several others who confessed that they have not commented before. I am quietly faithful - all likes checked, all adds viewed but no comments until today. I had to join the crowd in saying how delightful this Dan celebration is. The additional pleasure is in seeing all the favorite friends in one glorious vlog. Well done, Stephanie for all the joy you have brought. Well done, Dan for such a fabulous trajectory from the quiet man with garden tools to a one-man chateau restoration guru.

I really loved seeing a beaming smile on Dan's face. The adventures Dan has taken us on for years are amazing! Thank you, Stephanie, for bringing the joy.

A true friend is one that stands by us during life's trials and triumphs. The fact that you are celebrating Dan in his achievements shows just what an amazing friend you are to others.

What Dan has done all by himself, with no proper equipment, now building experience and no safety gear is amazing. I watch every single day. It is life a train wreck; I can't look away. Love you Dan.

This is such a thoughtful tribute, Stephanie. You’re dream to have a chateau one day has changed the lives of millions of people. You are blessed. Keep shining!

Hello Stephanie, I’ve watched every episode of Chateau Diaries and I’ve never commented before. I have to say that this is the best episode ever! So fun going from Dan’s beginning to now. So many laughs!Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. Life, Love, and Laughter is what it’s all about! Wishing you all continued success with Chateau Life ❤

[LindaHowell-qu]

Just goes to show what a great person you are for celebrating Dan’s success and not being jealous. We kidded him about his chateau being done enough that he could have his first dinner party. That was so nice of you and Philip to do that for him. His life hasn’t been easy lately but having friends like you has got to have helped. I liked is vlog when he was working at Lalonde.

[irenewilson]

I’m loving seeing Stephanie and Dan together again ❤

[mom-yssb]

Stef you are a gem ! You introduced Dan to the world and now you celebrate him spectacularly. Great great video ! You and LaLandiers and Dan and Danieliers ROCK !! Thank GOD you guys are on YouTube !!!

[MAC-opfc]

This was so fun to watch! I've missed the Stephanie and Dan show. I'm not one to gush over people but you really are very generous, Stephanie.

I don't normally comment on anyone's vlogs that I subscribe to, mostly out of fear of negative comments/feedback. BUT, I must say; that as the first channel I ever subscribed to; it warms my heart to see how Dan has remained part of not team Lalande BUT FAMILY Lalande!!!! It is so amazing to watch everyone's progress on their prospective Chateaus and to remember Dan joking while handing Stephanie's keys back to her after he "took over as the Chatelaine of Lalande" when Stephanie and Phillip had gone away and Dan had said he would NEVER want to own a Chateau. Nicely converted Stephanie, well done lol. It is amazing to see the amount of cross over support from everyone to all of your fellow Chateau owners. Well Done One And All! I can't wait to see everyone's continued progress!.

[PNWGardener]

I've enjoyed seeing Dan's journey over the years. What he is doing at his chateau is amazing. I do wish he would get more help and wear a hardhat though! All the love, Dan!

[Cardelrey]

Wow! You can tell how confident Dan has gotten.. you can see how shy and timid he was in the earlier days. We’re beyond proud of you Dan. Steph, thanks for introducing us to him. None of this would’ve happened without Château Diaries. ❤️
