I loved the segment with the baker. It was really interesting and informative.

It’s so uplifting to see the beautiful wallpaper go up to create such a stunning space within this room, with a reflection of Purnon’s interior history! The artisan’s work in preserving the facade is incredible, as is the artistry and passion of the baker!

I could listen for hours to these passionate and top-skilled artisans. l wish I could smell and taste the bread with a piece of cheese and a glass of wine! Probably no need for marmelade on the nut-apricot bread in the morning. Vive la France, vive la différence!

The attention to detail, sight, smell, touch, etc is what takes this reawakening to the artisan level, not just workmanship. What a delight to watch the unfolding of the “present” in touch with its history and tumultuous past. To me it touches the soul. Thank you ☺️ Merci

I am really enjoying the content. It’s different from the other chateau channels. There’s a historical element, i.e., the wall papers, the restoration of the facade, conversations with the artisans / architect, etc. The scope of work is immense, then and now.

There's something about the way the local baker explained how it's best to break the bread (18:23) that is so delightfully palatable. I know this is a very random thought. I love the French language and am so desperate to le savoir couramment. But it's an every day commitment. As is restoring this chateau. Was not expecting such an extensive and insightful lesson on classic French breadmaking. I do plan on being a vanteur about this new knowledge to friends and family. And so happy for the wallpaper line. So well deserved. I'm not sure if they'll be able to be shipped to California, where I live. But I can't wait to see the (first) five chosen for sale.

What an incredible feeling it must have been to bring home to the Chateau the original design of wallpaper. So stunning. I could so the pure joy on your face as you were sharing your story ❤ I was getting choked up watching you. AND To see the bread oven being used again must have been so satisfying! My mouth was watering over here lol 😂

All the craftsmen you have seem to be perfectionists in what they do, it must be a real pleasure to work with them. Keep up the wonderful work. Hopefully one day I can actually see all the hard work. Greetings from Florida, Harold.

Chill bumps every week now with the marvelous restorations being done. I am so very grateful the fine old lady is getting the quality makeover she deserves.

Oh my that bread baker needs his own channel, I want to bake bread along with him! Lovely wallpapers as well xx

The wall paper you have chosen looks absolutely fabulous, and beautifully hung too. It's always great to see artisans who are passionate about their work, the restorer and the baker, so heart warming to see such ancient skills so highly regarded today, and still evolving. Thank you.

Bread is love. Bread is coming together. Bread is sharing. Bread is pleasure. Hihihi bread is everything. 🍺🥖😋 Gorgeous wallpapers ❣

I could listen to (well read subtitles) what the baker has to say about bread and his findings. Very interesting. Beautiful wallpaper.

You can hear the passion of the bread baker when he describes the science behind his recipes. He is such an interesting person. Really enjoyed that. The wallpaper is so beautiful.

Merci, simplement merci pour tout ce que vous faites. You inspire a lot or people with your energy, your dedication to this Castel renovation.

Oh, most excellent for the chateau 's precious wallpapers to reawaken as the Purnon Papers!

Lovely to follow how the restoration commences. Now you even have your own chateau bread!

I am so happy to see this update on the “Papers” the Coat of Arms and the oven! I could smell it baking…. What an interesting idea about not kneading to dough to reduce gluten. Thank you for all this. I’m once again speechless. And that’s not common for me!❤️❤️

The wallpaper looks beautiful, and the baker wow his bread looks amazing, made with the best ingredients not like the crap most supermarkets sell, especially here in the UK, love watching your journey bringing your beautiful chateau back to life, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧

That wallpaper is so beautiful!

Flick and Tim, in every single video you create you first celebrate the people and artisans around you and let their talents and skill tell Purnon's story. Thank you. This video was especially dear. I am in awe of their skills and wisdom and how the past continues to teach all of us. What a week it's been at Purnon!!!

As a sourdough home baker and afficionado, I loved hearing from and watching the baker as he used the amazing bread oven!

One of yr best videos. Very informative and uplifting from the wallpapers to the restoration of the coat of arms to the bread oven. Outstanding!

Looking good, that cout of arms is truely a beautiful work of art

What a wonderful baker. So passionate and skilled! Respect!

This is so inspiring. What a wonderful initiative and how wonderful it is that Pernon's papers are being reawakened. We have a interior decor project coming up so we will explore the range with F&B as soon as it's launched. Very best wishes we hope it's an enormous success. M&R

The yellow wallpaper is stunning; I'm surprised that you didn't choose to reinstate it. Hopefully, for another room...

The wallpaper looks fabulous. So great to see the bread oven in use. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures with us.

Fabulous restoration and very noice bread

Wasn't sure about the paper until you put it up. It's nice up

From the wallpaper to the coat of arms restoration to the bread, it was a delicious episode. Congrats !

Purnon is so lucky to have you !!

An oven able to feed an army..! Bakers friend is a GOOD OVEN..! Seems you got the real item there ! Carry on

The wallpaper is so beautiful! Oh my gosh that bread ! I’m sure it was so delicious.

Everytime a surprise at Purnon. Big up to the baker, passionné de son métier ! Bravo Benoit !

The wallpaper is beautiful. It reminds me of when my husband and I restored/renovated our 1880's farmhouse. It's wonderful that all of these old, abandoned chateaus are being restored and brought back to life.🥰🥰

Thank you 🙏 I, as always, enjoyed watching the skills of everyone (including yourselves) who work on Purnon. The wallpaper up on the wall is just so exciting.

The bread section is a revelation. I’ve made a bread called MMe Doz’s bread that had a similar 3 day process, and even in my gas oven it was the best of many breads I ever made. But this looks like an even better technique. I sure wish I could taste some!❤

The wallpaper is absolutely stunning!!! Great job!! Love it. Just love what the guys are doing on the outside the chateau!! Just making the chateau look amazing outside and inside!! Great job to you all!! Lots of love from Tennessee USA!!

Love the segment on the beer bread that is easier to digest. Wish we could taste it!

So many wonderful things are happening. That bread looked amazing and I bet it was delicious 😋

The wallpaper is simply stunning!

Thank you for sharing.

You all could have vegetable/fruit gardens on your property and make a traditional farmers market. You could then sell the vegetables and fruit along with cheeses and homemade jams and have this baker sell bread to eat with them. The breads, jams, and cheese could be the star of the market. Maybe have a local winemaker sell a collection of his wines to go with the bread, cheeses, and jams. The French do love their wine and cheeses. Also, after the work is completed, you could then have fund raisers to help pay the cost of upkeep on the estate by giving tours of the house and grounds where people can admire the estate, kind of like how King Charles III does with his home Highgrove. It's just a thought because I know how expensive these estates are to run on a daily basis. The upkeep on estates such as these can be very expensive, and anything that could potentially be something that could be an income for the estate is always a plus. When renovating very old homes and buildings, especially renovating them historically accurately as you all are, it will take a lot of time and money. You and all of the masters of their craft are doing a wonderful job, and I, along with the rest of your KZfaq family cannot wait to see the final result. Thank you for the videos to let everyone see the process. It is a guilty pleasure of mine to sit and watch the "reawakening" of such a beautiful lady.

Lovely wallpaper, I can see why you were so excited!

Très belle initiative qui permet de redécouvrir de superbes papiers peints des XVIII et XIX èmes siècles. Bravo pour la future collection "Papiers de Purnon". Profitez bien du pain artisanal et traditionnel qui permet lui aussi ,de réveiller votre beau domaine. Bravo et encore merci pour votre courage, pour votre respect du passé, du patrimoine et des savoirs-faire français.

So interesting how the pattern of that wallpaper changes the closer you get to it. From a distance it looks like circles with a star, and up close it just looks like the "stars" (or whatever you'd call that!). It's really beautiful there where you've placed it. I love the passion of that Boulangère, he's why food is so great in France. Beautiful stone work, always so fascinating!

The wall paper is beautiful so stunning ❤

Your work is amazing, love your videos.

The wallpaper is beautiful! 😃❤ You did a wonderful job installing it. All the hard progress is starting to take shape and its absolutely wonderful! Wish I could sample that bread. I bet it is delicious!

Bonjour Felicity, the wallpaper is just beautiful, another step closer to the finish for the bathroom. I loved watching you and Benoit at the bread oven I can only imagine the smell and the taste of the bread. Sebastien's work is truly an art, we can see the love and care he is putting into it. Chateau de Purnon will be so beautifully amazing and a sight to behold when she awakens. Love from N.Y.

Wow, the wallpapers are exceptional and I really could almost smell the bread baking in the oven. So cute to see Trufe watching! Thanks for posting this!

loved seeing all the party pics on insta and hope you can share more on the vlog soon - the party looked elegant and fun and the decor was amazing - LOVE the wallpapers - conrats!!

Unintentionally I put my sourdough bread in the oven and sat down to watch this episode. How funny! I could smell bread cooking in my house while he is describing the smell of his bread. I am sure his smelt better with the mix of the fire combined with so many different varieties of bread cooking.

I’m cheering and applauding - In under 4 minutes! Felicity I’m so excited for your you and Tim and your whole team. The idea that F&B are not only producing paper for the Château but for us too! So much fun!

Wow....adding color to those walls made the room come to life!! Reawakening indeed! The passion and dedication of the artisans who work on the Chateau is incredible!

The coat of arms is certainly a magnificent piece of work. Well pieces really. Maybe a huge picture of it finished, framed can be displayed to show the beauty of it up close to all. It is so high up, it can't be appreciated as much. Just a thought. Best wishes.

The new wallpaper is perfection in the bathroom! As more sheets were applied I loved it more and more. Perfect size of pattern and the color is just right in the space. So, so pretty and yet not overly feminine. If I were young I would love to try to tackle the repair work on the coat of arms. :-) If I could live life over again I would have liked to have been a conservator of historic furnishings and textiles as I love that kind of slow, detailed work. I also love baking bread, so found what the baker shared to be very interesting! Thank you for another fantastic visit to Purnon.

Stunning. What exceptional craftsmanship and attention to every detail.

beautiful. i am lost for words. your paper is stunning.

Thanks for sharing the wallpaper. Beautiful-

Drop dead gorgeous. ❤

So inspirational Flick and Tim you are truly the right people for this chateau, it’s like the chateau just sat and waited for you both. Beautiful wallpaper did they have different wall paper in each room and do you know why? Your stone masons are incredible how they work out how to repair the coat of arms.

Amazing

Lovely

Loved the wallpaper 🙏🏻🥰

Thank you. I loved it

Such meticulous work. Amazing. 🙏🏻

thanks

What fantastic content and artisans!! Just wish I could taste that bread! The ancient grains are so worth trying. Maybe he could make bread at the chateau and sell it in partnership with you.

All of your content in this video is so interesting!!! The fastest 22 minutes I've spent in a long time and time well spent!

Great episode! Thanks

There seems a fair bit of frost on the ground-I thought it was nearly summer there? So interesting (yet to finish watching). Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

Loved the master class in bread making, makes so much sense.. just wonderful when craftsmen understand their medium so well they can expand on what they've been taught and make it better. I would love to know more does Benoit (is that the bakers name) have anything online showing what he does (apart from here 😏)? The wallpaper as well, wow, so gorgeous.. how brilliant to have come up with a whole range in collaboration with F&B. Everything just fascinating ❤

What is nice about the Baker, is he is creating a bread that was reminiscent of the times.

Love the Pink one, it would be amazing in a bedroom.

J'adore vous suivre, dommage qu'il n'y a plus le sous titrage en français sur les vidéos

It's so educational to watch the restoration. It was very surprising to see how the mason used adhesive to reattach the broken stone. It was also very surprising that he used dots of adhesive and a pressureless clamp to hold it in place. Most glues I've ever used seem to advise using a continuous layer of adhesive, sometimes on both surfaces, to drive out the air and to clamp with pressure. The idea being that atmospheric pressure (approx. 14lbs per sq. inch) actually acts like a clamp applying a lot of force on the mend. Does he then have to add grout or mortar to the exposed edges of the seam? Not that I have or ever got close to an escutcheon needing repair.. Big surprise about pigeons actually clawing the stone. I always thought the droppings were the big problem with them. .The exposed stone looks so much better than mesh over the whole carved assemblage in the pediment. Pigeons don't seem to be vary prevalent in even the biggest city around here. Maybe they're all being killed off? Such simply patterned and beautiful wallpapers.

Eng: coat of arms. Fren: écu ~armoiries ~blason. Its a blason for me with the family armoiries and their ancestral écu 😅

Me gustó mucho el vídeo, sobre todo cuando están horneando el pan, lástima que el vídeo no está traducido al español. Ojalá pueda ver totalmente restaurada el área o sala de panadería. Desde Caracas, Venezuela, les envío saludos.

Beautiful vlog, thank you, it's very inspiring. Look forward to seeing the wall papers in connection with Farrow and ball and i bet the dmell texture snd taste of the bread was amazing. Glad to see the bread oven being used. Did you cook snuthing rlse in the oven aftet the baker wss finished. It would have done an amazing slow roast. Have a great week.

All beautiful but why wasn’t the drywall taped , filled and primed before the wallpaper?

❤❤💪💪

💙

I LOVE how you really include and learn from your local community. Was this a test for the bread oven or will he be regularity using Purnon oven? The Purnon Loaves! The paper is stunnnnnnning! Will you be having them available internationally? So excited to see your other designs as well. Love and blessings from 🇨🇦 to you 🇦🇺 🇫🇷

seigle is rye...he is making loaves of rye bread

Please return English closed captions. I appreciate the English captions over the spoken French, but would also like it accompanied with the English. That way we can catch/write down the wallpaper companies, etc. Can't catch them when spoken. Thank you!

Do the seams of the dry wall show through the wallpaper?

Pain de seigle is rye bread.

That opening shot of the chateau in the sunrise was surreal!! The land looks like a beautiful painting and makes the west coast of Canada, where I live on Vancouver Island look so ugly, dark and bland!!

Wonderful work as usual, it’s always a pleasure to take a look at the progress you’re making in this restoration ! I was simply wondering what you wanted to do with the blue bedroom (in the South-East wing I believe) where are hung the original 18th century wall papers. Do you intend to let it « dans son jus » as french people say, restore it but preserving it or keep it preciously somewhere else, while new copy of it would be hung ? (I guess this question concerns also the bedroom in the rez-de-chaussée (you call it this way, don’t you ?) that celebrates the agreement with the United Kingdom I believe)

Is it hard to hang the paper on the hessian because it moves? It looks beautiful.

How beautiful, I really love the paper.😊

Wow, you are practically having to become a spider and crawl over the scaffolding to hang the wallpaper. Great job. I wonder if you had hung paper anytime before or if the chateau has been a practical class in wallpaper?

Question! Do the French not use drywall as a base substrate when remodeling a wall? It looks like they're just pasting wallpaper onto canvas. It gives a whole new def to "paper thin walls" that would never offer true privacy to a private conversation-especially in bathroom! Where some of your most private conversations take place.

When the Baker explains the process, the first step (on Monday) is making the POOLISH which is a starter in English.

Wallpaper's beautiful, but I don't understand why the drywall seams weren't finished and the entire area primed first?

how will you use all the rooms

"Seigle" is "Rye" in English.

I would like to know what he is using to glue the piece of stone on the fasade, ofcourse he does not tell it since he would like to work at other châteax
