Vous avez trouvé un bijou, bienvenue en France

The upside-down signs first appeared in Tarn, Occitanie, and have spread nationally, but it is in Brittany that they are the most visible. The act is a protest by local farmers to raise visibility of the challenges they face.

Bonjour. Normally, old houses are naturally ventilated because doors, windows and roofs do not close very well. But it is highly recommended that, at least in the humid rooms (kitchen, bathroom,…) you install a VMC (French for Ventilation Mecanique Contrôlée or Controlled Mechanical Ventilation CMV single flow but with humidity detection) It runs 24/7, adapts the speed of the extraction to the current humidity and does bring confort by reducing the overall humidity. It is even compulsory if you change doors and windows to modern ones as the natural air flow through badly sealed elements will be no more there. Have fun. Do not forget that old houses do not like cement (Portland) as it is not permeable to water vapour. Lime and Sand in some places and Lime and hemp in other places are recommended. Cork is also to be considered.

Wow,the Wisteria and the Entry+the kitchen and livingroom right away,all the stone,wood and the chimneys…i‘m in love,beautiful❤

We are renovating a similar house in Normandy. When we returned to the house after 6 months, we also found mold. We treated it and then bought a big dehumidifier (costing around €175), which removed any remaining moisture from the air. Good luck - you've found a real beauty! We look forward to seeing more videos.

This home is already beautiful when you will be finished renovating it will be amazing

Greetings from Australia. Your house is very interesting and full of possibilities. A great place for children to grow up and explore.

Love the house I think your children will enjoy it in the future. Congratulations I think you bought well. 👍

It looks amazing. It will be wonderful when you get it finished. Meanwhile It seems pretty habitable. Enjoy

You have found a handyman's paradise which you can make into a treasure. Good luck and God bless .❤️🙏

Lovely house garden and location. Looking forward to the renovation.

What an interesting place. I really like it! 🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing, great possibilities, beautiful land. Lots of wonderful memories to be made for your family. Best wishes from Australia

The farmers in france were protesting and they turned the signs upside down

Bonjour! Very nice house, with a unique character and many details like the stairs. Looking forward to see your next videos! We also just landed here in France in central from the Netherlands.

The house looks fantastic! Great video tour! Best wishes to you and your family!

Thanks for the tour. My wife and I recently spent 5 years in Germany and had a great time. Mold mediation is best accomplished with red wine vinegar or a lemon based solution. Bleach will mot kill mold, it will only remove the topical layer.. good luck.

Vous avez trouvé une pépite dans un bel écrin de verdure, félicitations. Certes il y a du travail pour lui rendre vie mais vous êtes jeunes et vaillants. Vous allez vous construire de magnifiques souvenirs avec votre petite famille et dans quelques années vous aurez la fierté de vous dire:"Nous l' avons fait !"

Congratulations and thanks for sharing!🎉. JF, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

You will have such fun on this renovation . We renovated over 20 years ago and adore living in France. Nowadays you have the huge benefit of google translate and high speed broadband. Are you doing the renos yourself? Good luck et Bon courage👏👏👏👏🥂🥂

Very cool house with many possibilities for all the rooms. Congratulations!

I just found your channel and subscribed. I love a good time lapse! Excited for this renovation. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

I enjoyed seeing your house, thank you and I look forward to seeing the renovation.

You should always wear rubber gloves when washing walls with chemical on them. It prevents chemical burns and dermatitis. Enjoy your renovating. Cheers from South Australia.

Lovely house. The wisteria is gorgeous

Great introductory presentation on your move to France. Look forward to future episodes. Good luck with your move.

What a lovely big house

The house is so beautiful 😍

Wow that is a big old house beautiful ❤❤❤

great first episode well done, im keen to follow along on your journey

House has lots of potential it s big enough all family Good Luck ❤

Was ein Projekt ❤ der Garten sieht so geil aus! Das Haus schreit nach Arbeit...bin gespannt ob ihr da jemals wieder wegzieht😂

What an amazing house & project!! Looking forward to seeing your journey to restoration 🙌🥰

Stunning and loads of potential

Lovely old house so much potential

Vous avez trouvé une très belle maison à rénover.

How exciting to have found the first video in your coming series so I could become one of your early subscribers! Beautiful house, filled with possibilities for you and your family. Hopefully, you already know about the mistake that was made in Portugal decades ago when stone buildings were rendered in cement, which has resulted in excessive interior mold. Lime-based render is needed instead.

The home is stunning

Thank you for your vlog. What wonderful original features your house has, and in a gorgeous setting. Thought I spotted bamboo through the upstairs window. If it is the clumping kind you're ok, if it's the spreading kind beware, it needs immediate eradication or it could undermine your house! Bonne continuation.

Beautiful house, looking forward to following your journey. Thank you for sharing.

I like ,lovely home ,Thanks for showing ,

Typical house of the Landes...Nice to see original features! It's going to be a good life!!!!

You remind me of an older version of Mr. Adventure from the channel Mr and Mrs Adventure who are Americans renovating a water mill in Portugal.

Nice house ! A lot of potential with the extra rooms to renovate ! See a clothes line for winter drying if no dryer ! Or to just air out what is needed ….! Definitely use lime mortar to fix walls … it breathes … rather than cement ! But do ask for opinions ….😛

You made a perfect decision. For your family.

Really nice and quirky. Look forward to Yr renovation. Love the wood in the landing

What a project this is going to be for you guys.. Good luck! There's some great potential in that house :)

Upside down signs are part of the farmer's protest. From what I have seen, the humidity is largely from the stone walls not being able to breathe. Not sure of course. For a large house it certainly has an odd layout. Everything obviously added on as times changed and needs were met better. It could be beautiful if layed out properly as the rooms are certainly generous in size. Best wishes from Australia

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

Lot of work awaits you but the house is definitely worth it ! Courage, et bienvenue en France !

Hi, Your new home has so much potential, and the grounds are beautiful. I am excited to see your progress with the forthcoming renovation works. I'm sure that the end product will be stunning. Wishing you and your family a safe journey back to Germany.

When we didn't live in our Bulgarian stone house we put a bag of dehumidifier in every room. Now we have air-conditioning on every floor. It takes away buckets of water! 👌

This Will be a beautiful trasnformation 😊

Just discovered your channel. All the very best wishes from here in Greece!

Lovely home

beautiful house plenty of rooms ,for u all ,cant wait 4 next video bet that was an expensive housex

Just found your video. Your house and outside area are awesome and have a lot of potential. I'm looking forward to following your progress. Many well wishes! Janice from Arkansas USA

Very interesting project. Subscribed

Looks beautiful…. Thanks for sharing.

I really like this house, so many interesting options that I can't wait to see it reborn! Subscribed.😉

très très belle propriété ; superbe emplacement, magnifique maison au potentiel énorme ¡ beaucoup de boulot mais splendide ¡ curieux de son prix ? un bijou qui fait rêver : bravo

Congratulations, you have found such a gem of a property! Gorgeous features all over. I'd say: don't take the mold problem lightly. Black mold is very, very dangerous and can create havoc with one's health. I can guarantee you have mold spores all over the place. If I were you, I'd buy an ozone generator and let it run for a few hours in each room. Because O3 is also toxic it would be best to leave the house during applicaitons, especially because of the kids, let's say while on vacation. Good luck and am looking forward to see how you're going to transform an already beautiful place into an even more amazing one! First time I catch a first episode in one of these renovation channels. For the records, you now have 1.23K subscribers. I want to be here to celebrate the first 100K and we'll take it from there!

Hello, Absolutely love your period house.

Looks like an amazing place in a beautiful area. All the best to you and your family as you make it a home!

Bonjour ,je m'abonne j'ai hâte de voir vos futures rénovations ,La maison est superbe avec beaucoup de potentiel

Lovely house, so beautiful

Je vous suivrai avec un grand plaisir bon courage et je sais que la region est accueillante pour y vivre vos enfants vont se régaler ❤

It would be interesting to know a bit about the story of the house and what matrial were used. Beautiful house.

Love those stone walls

I just gave you my first like and subscribed to your channel. Hope I like it. So far so good. 7/13/24 Panama City, Florida. I just found you today, so I'm so excitedto start at the beggining wit you guys.

Great house with lots of charm and potential. Looking forward to hearing about your renovation plans, budget, costs etc. Quick question - did you buy with your friend to share the house and are you planning to live full time there for just one year or permanently? Thanks for sharing your renovation journey!

Congratulations! But I would check for leaks to the roof and flashings.😊

Will you be keeping this as a holiday home? Or, is the intention that you will move permanently? Was the electrical and plumbing all set to go when you moved in? You actually did very well in setting up the rooms that you choose to use, already cozy. Love the ceilings, the wood, and of course all the stone. The settings of these older homes are generally all so beautiful....they definitely prioritized settings years ago. By Canadian standards, 303 years old is really old lol. Where, in France is it? ♥️🇨🇦

A great buy. Just to mention that black mold is very toxic and it is advisable to wear gloves and a face mask which is suitable for mold removal when dealing with it. Mold spores are likely to be on parts of the room other than the walls too. The suggestion another viewer made to use a dehumidifier is a good one. I wish you well with your project and will be watching it with interest.

Chlorine bleach won't get rid of mould, you need to use white vinegar.

The roof is leaking, causing mold. You can see water marks on ceiling. Fix roof first.

Beautiful house 👍❤️love the wisteria! Reminds me of my parents house in Portugal, looking forward to see the renovations, what part of France are you in ?

What a magical house, very curious what your plans are and if they include separate entrances to the bedrooms. A fireman told me once the kind of layout you have now is dangerous in case of a fire. They will have a hard time locating these rooms that are at the back of another room. But maybe you already are aware of that.

Hi, I am a new subscriber from South Africa. I love the wide range lens camera work. That is your wife ?

New subscriber from the U.S. and looking forward to watching your French Home restoration journey. You didn't mention which city in southern France this home is. Would you be open to mention where it is?

Wunderschön ❤

Could you please let us know in more detail what your plans are-with a diagram. Also when do you plan to move & commence the renovations? Australia 🇦🇺

Hab ich geträumt oder sagtest du ihr seid aus Werder?! Aber egal, Gruß von einem Caputher, seit langem in München. Wir kennen eure Ecke Richtung Küste/Dax. Wir waren 18 x in Vieux-Boucau in Urlaub. Ist übrigens alles Süd-W e s t...! Viel Spaß dann die Jahre!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

😂The upside-down signs were temporary. They stood for as a protest against the government from the farmers last spring 😉

Are you able to add more windows, there’s a lot of space. Do you have plans for renovation, perhaps architectural plans?

U hebt de schimmels verwijderd en schoongemaakt en opnieuw geverfd. Maar waarom is de schimmel ontstaan? Was er ergens lekkage? Is het huis met verkeerde materialen gerenoveerd? Of is er geen drainage rondom het huis?

the upside down town signs are to indicate the people's unhappiness with the government/EU, and their notions that we can create food without farms.... it's a way to show support for farmers

Bon Chance from the USA! beautiful beach but sad to see graffiti. The US often sets a bad precedent.

Should were mask ❤

Really nice house. But don't spoil the interior by putting fake rustical lamps and other kitschy stuff in it.

Do you mind if i ask how much the house was?

Slow down slow own that quick movement is not good for people who suffer with vertigo.
