Laurie Anne agreed!

I have heard many birds that we don't have in the states.

Laurie Anne completely agree, such great videos to watch and don’t feel like they have been edited to within an inch of their lives haha

Grateful not to hear any distracting music. I adore your vlogs, a great big thank you.

Yes, I agree.

He got a “tree book” for Christmas! God, I love him 😍🤣

Indeed so!

I'd be happy to walk out to the back of my, um castle, and discover a stream with flowing water.

ijeleo92 And actually finding it

We had a media mogul here in Australia (not Murdoch) who found rubies when installing polo grounds on his country estate 🙄

@@jennifercampbell7698 being rich real just makes you richer wow

Yes!

1234tinman1 yes lots and lots of books.

In Episode 1, he showed the "library." It had 2 shelves of books. Big whoop. And a wardrobe with the cleaning supplies. I do hope they improve that room somehow.

Having lived in Ireland I am sure he knows tons of potato recipes. :)

Is this a lord of the rings reference

Globy yes it is

yessssssss

Whats taters precious?

open your purse, lemme see YES

Yes and I’m fully here for it

YESSSS! Chateau Life - kzfaq.info/love/8h4pmwOKIAeTRD9jze6hMwvideos The Chateau Diaries - kzfaq.info/love/yqPuqFXuAP5GMwRNFg5hpAvideos

Yes amazing

This is such a fantastic idea for a series, following people searching for chateaus and te-building it. Such an insane thing both things aren’t more thought about really, wich is when you know when an idea is good, when you go like ‘how didn’t we all thought about it before?’ 😍

I wonder if Michael should invite Ruth Goodman for some pointers about Chateau living. 😐

꧁ C ꧂ there are several British tv shows that restore chateaus and castles...love those shows

TV is passé. As far as I know everyone is far better off on KZfaq, as it can actually generate an income. And they have full creative control and own all their own material.

It is better.

I agree. "Lathrée clandestine" in French

HaylieBuggy ha digging! Punny

Anna Hattis Honesty, didn’t realize I did that until this very moment, Thank you XD

I thought it looked a lot like wild sage

J.D. B I thought that too at first glance, but I think the sage is too small and too high off the ground to be the same plant. I’m not an expert though so I could for sure be wrong.

Agreed!!!

Don Smith Before I saw that part of the video I read this comment...I had no idea what you were talking about but all I could think of was that maybe they had used pearls to make a toilet paper holder or something as part of their decoration to make it seem fancy😂😂

@@evealexandra4367 no , during this rigged pandemic, finding and owning toilet paper, was like owning Gold, they were hamming it up, since she own's her own Chateaux, "Chateaux Diaries"

@Don Smith love the idea of what Stephanie does with pearls because i had a pearl beads from mardigra festival. So I'm going to use it for decorating.

The camp is fabulous 🤣🖤

It’s Olivia his 11 year old niece

@@sherriepetherick5451 Really?! That's amazing! 😀

Someone told. ..

The camera person should get credited in the video 😀😀

Your niece does an amazing job as videographer. Well done all.

I see a young Joaquin Phoenix 😍

Ernest Le Dauphin!

Rename the chateau: chateau de Ernest

Antonio Sousa Machado 😅😂

Michael S true.

Oh that’s very interesting! Never thought of that. It’s very fertile ground on the estate so maybe you’re right.

Yes, I forgot to mention the "Faire Circle." True about the Truffles! Another form of gold!

Thank you for bringing up the circle of trees! Now I know it's called a Fairy Circle. There's definitely a special significance to having 8 trees in a circle and that space is special. There's a deeper more spiritual meaning. Wish I knew what it was. Too bad so much of the old lore has been forgotten.

I love your channel ! I’d also love to see some renovation videos.

Mr Macron would probably try and marry Mummy...

@@towhitby1 Hahahaha

Fill me in, what are you talking about

getstuk there was British series on British owners of French chateaus called escape to the chateau DIY that I believe the Pethericks were involved with.

I like them too Dick and Angel.

My kind of core

if that was in the US someone would've come in already and destroyed everything to grab all the gold out. Just like the scrapers do to abandoned buildings in the US.

Is the US still crawling with prospectors?

@@Sebbir Lol I've never met one and I don't know anyone who would purposefully trespass to pan for gold 😂 I think our thieves are much too lazy for that

nah they'd get shot if they did that

With metal detectors. They’d night hawk the creeks.

Adored it! Hilarious bit of fun. Really brightened my too quiet quarantine day.

🧻🧻🧻😅🤣😂

Sure it is !!

Yeah, I was thinking that! While they still had tons of gold in Europe left naturally, they were too busy looking under every rock in the "New World" with slave labor instead. No one ever bothered to look again, until this Ol' Chap.

And how far you are from Stephanie!! I need a map please!!

@CaptainTAE look at the Château's website, there are all the information there www.basmaignee.com/

@@_galterius MERCI beaucoup

@@lauretteguerbette557 😜 de rien

Marilyn Bentley before the scene with Stephanie, it said she was 250 miles away.

Haha so true!! But not that surprising when talking about a very old country such as france.

@@Alexfolledemoi Its the same age as Scotland :-))

I agree ! People may of buried goods before war for safe keeping

Patti Oyler 😅😂

Yes! Metal detectors would be amazing on this estate! 🤎💰💎⛏

Cute doggies! Like how the lighting on the outside of chateau looks at night.

Cindy Hammond “March winds bring April showers bring May flowers & June roses.” Hope you’re staying safe!

1) I don't know about the Mercedes but as for the chateau and the RR, he doesn't own either of those his brother and SIL do. 2) They're not rich, if they were they wouldn't have to host weddings and stuff to be able to "keep their head above water" as Michael's said and they'd be able to afford to do all the necessary structural and leak repairs immediately instead of having to wait until they can afford it

@@keandric2765 It is a matter of prospective. But if you (or your family) have a property like that, I think 99% of humans would say they are rich :D

@@Rafuschka You're only basing that assessment based on what it looks like Now after they've spent 3 years working on it, not what it looked like when they bought it. Based on the photos and footage Michael's show it seems like it was in Rough shape when they bought it, derelict in a lot of places. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought it for the same cost that a normal middleclass - uppermiddleclass home would cost. And part of the reason they've been able to Afford to do the work they've done so far based on everything they've said is because they've done almost all of it themselves; not only all of the renovations and maintenance/ cleaning but making all the curtains, doing the upholstery themselves, Michael said that Billy and Gwen had been collecting the furniture for like 5 years (probably from thrifting and antiquing) and restored it themselves. Also, as I mentioned the only way they're probably able to afford the taxes and maintenance and renovations and stuff for the place is by hosting weddings and renting out the guesthouse and things. The only reason they were probably even able to get the chateau was being of an inheritance (so I read someone say) and if they were just some average boring couple they probably would've bought some nice townhome or something in London and people would've thought "oh yeah that's nice" but it wouldn't have been anything out of the ordinary. Now, Could they have money / have already been upperclass before they bought it? Yeah sure of course. All I'M saying is that if you do something like this right [make sacrifices and save up, take your time to do your research, find something cheap that needs a lot of work, do said work yourself, host events to have the property pay for itself (or at least break even), maybe even go in with a number of family members or friends on a project like this, ect], you do Not have to necessarily be rich to do something like this :)

@@keandric2765 Don't get me wrong, I grant that to them, I just thought it was a little bit ironic to say that quote because they look so rich now. I did not see the progress they made before.

Did you read the video description?

Abhinav Bhise I was just thinking the same thing about the stream. We had a creek behind our home when I was growing up and we spent hours playing in it. A babbling brook is music to my ears.

I love all the trees. They’re part of the family.

In France, it’s known as « clandestine » ... nice job on the identification.
