You probably have but take a google pic and see if vases come up ... they are beautiful as is Venus... oh the Sectarian desk is beautiful.....what winderful finds.

My goodness what great finds…the terrine and large platter…sister to the terrine you have …amazing …the bronze door handles…the chandelier …awesome …you must have been delighted. The Château is coming along beautifully…you are doing so much it must be lovely to venture out and visit other villages. Your kindness towards others is reciprocated by theirs to you. Lovely truly! 🌟💛

Pot = coil pot. Appears Majolica. Single fleur de lis = French royalty circa 1180. Designs: Spanish Leon kingdom Alphonso VII, also similar to Navarre kingdom of that time. Lion- Leopard also royalty of this time. Motifs could be heraldic by succession. Pomeganates also spanish symbols. I strongly recommend that you get these vases appraised by a museum. They look of high historical significance. Thankyou for such a lovely vlog, sorry about the tractor😢 Enjoy your family's visit.

Hi Patrick & Stuart, I know the pain of being without a riding mower. Ours was in and out of commission for a month while Scott toyed with it to get it running again. We managed to keep ahead of the early growing season but still... Great finds at the Brocante, the chandelier will look great in a guest room, and the big jars have a great presence on the piece in the dining room. Mark & Scott

Oh, no! Not again! The "claw" gets scratched! On a happier note, nice auction and brocante finds. Call me a nerd, too, Patrick, because I would be daydreaming about who sat at and used the secrétaire. What secrets might have been hidden in one of the many drawers?

Wonderful to see Nevers,your photos and also aucion items..great choices…one can eat in Neversvery very well so enjoy!!

Loved the desk, mirror, vases, rug and the door openers. Loved everything else also. I can’t believe the blue claw has to go back for fixing again. It looked like a lil dinosaur 🦖when they were rolling it off the flatbed. Happy almost 100 episodes. 🎈🎊

As always, an interesting episode. I wish you both good health, happiness and the greatest of adventures. Life is so short so do enjoy it. Belly rubs to the dogs.

You are looking both so happy and relaxed, regardless of what’s happening around you. 🇨🇦❤️🥂🙏

Love all your beautiful finds from vases , to chandeliers to the outstanding desk. You are finding just the right items to use for your lovely Chateau.

The music when the tractor triumphantly returned!!🤓❤️

Thank you from Central America Panama wonderful to see you bringing the old girl back to life.

Digression is REAL! I so enjoy everything about your channel.

Patrick your hair is such a dream it is still as lovely as when you appeared on that photo when you were a little bit younger wow not so long ago xxx

Auction 'wins' were fabulous. I always like to see the brocantes visits. They bear no resemblance to car boots and charity shops here in the UK. Brocantes seem to have much better finds and better quality items. 😊

Your auction finds are always so interesting. The secretary desk is definitely a find. I feel I am almost at the markets walking with you guys. Good camera work Stuart 👌 👏 ❤️

Very good

Good morning Stuart & Patrick, what a lovely and interesting video packed full of interesting outings which helped you acquire some very lovely items for the chateaux. It is always great meeting up with Tony and Jane, they just improve on the outings :). The open air brocante you visited had some very lovely items. There are just a lot of fine items to pick up. Perhaps you should get in touch with the people of The Antiques Road Show there would be somebody that can give information about the vases. They are very lovely, and they hold their onw place, perhaps a special area in the kitchen would do them proudly. It was very noble of the French assistant to allow you to borrow some machine to cut your grasses. It is a great pity when a machine that should easily cope with chores lets you down so much. Our stove I am sure is a factory reject! Yes from day one the oven was a problem it would trip out the electracy board and recently the element which was the problem from the start burned out. It took 3 weeks for replacement, there were no stock to be found. There is this company on the other side of civilization that supplies all parts for every electric appliance, we ordered and installed it ourselves yesterday. My son replaced it, and as a reward I shall bake his favourite cake to show my deep appreciation, his assistance saved us a lot of money which was not really convenient right now i.e. buying a new stove!! It always feels great when problems are overcome and things go smoothly again. Take care, many blessings, Elize.

The secretary is a gem!! The large vases are certainly worth investigating... Could they be local??

My favorite film is The Red Violin as it tells the full history of an object. I think you guys would love it. Another great episode.

Oh dang it, that triumphant return didn’t last long!! I hope this time it gets fixed or they replace it with a new one!!

Patrick, you are not a nerd you are limited edition. As rare as some of your finds, so a perfect fit for the château. And Stuart is as unique, but that is evident I guess!

This is my all-time favorite show to watch. Love you both!

Guys, I love all the items you purchased. The secretaire is so beautilful. Did I see a pigeon swirling in the hallway🙂 what a disappointment regarding the tractor 😢 it's nice that they let you use one of theirs. Have a lovely time with Froukje. Hugs and kisses 😘🥰🌞

Pomegranate was an emblem of Kathrine of Aragon, they are many times sign of Spanish empire. Rhey are surely not that old but might have a Spanish influence

The lavender behind you us looking good!

Hi Stewart and Patrick ❤️. For me but I’m sure you feel the same! You can buy thing in auction and have it sent to you. But you being able to be present in the very place it’s been for however long must feel wonderful. Patrick! Like you I love the Louis XV Sec. imagine trying to have that made today? It would be ridiculous. And never made to those standards and no history. The mirror frame you’d never have made today as would cost a fortune and again not to the same standards.

The lavender blooming and so tall in opening shot. Love you guys....but I digress..... excellent antique shopping all worthy of new life in your beautiful château. Hugs from Oz

Last time you mentioned your fruit trees, do what we do hang tinsel from them to keep the birds off. This works for us in Spain

Gents, what superb buys from that chateau!!! Indeed especially the Louis XV secretaire, gorgeous! The music on revealing the returned tractor made me burst out into laughter 🤣🤣🤣 Sad story though, it still doesn't work... very frustrating for you! The things you bought at the brocante, delightful! Where are you going to mount the door handles? The Louis XV style chandelier, a beauty! About he vases: it appears they are Italian faience. The coat of arms on them and the flower decoration and use of colours betrays Italy, 19th century. They're meant to be used in the garden. P.S. The designer beard becomes you very well, Patrick! Keep it!

Hi Patrick and Stuart well didn’t you do well some lovley items on the auction and will fit right in at the chateau my goodness there is certainly a lot of items to be found at the Brocante it is amazing to me where people find all of the lovley things to sell there you can pick up some lovely bargains especially for chateau owners and yourselves you can practically kit a whole chateau if you choose the right things great vlog love the music as well keep well see you on the next one

The brocantes in France are amazing. Thank you for the video!

LOVED this video! Your taste in on-line auction & Brocante items is superb... I want it all 🥰🥰xx from Canada

Oh. I am in love with the vases!😍😍

Oh lads I absolutely love your finds. I adore when you take us to the Brocante. I always see articles I’d like to buy. Brings back happy memories.❤️💕❤️

Darlings I love everything you purchased Enjoy them Lots of love and hugs ❤

Re: twin vases. Possibly stoneware Du Paquier armorial vase. Circa 1730 - 35 Vienna. If so, extremely rare, highly collectable.

Congratulations!! I love your items from the auction and the market finds.❤

OMG! The music behind the heralded return of the “claw” was wonderful! Made me giggle 🤭.🎉 So sorry that the joy was so short-lived, Patrick. Kinda sucks 😢😢😢! Hopefully it won’t take another 6-7 weeks and hopefully, it’s really fixed this time. 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼

Fabulous finds! Shopping makes everything better! 😁 Shopping in France takes the fun to a whole new level. The pair of jugs are hand made using a coil technique and are used for storing olives. There must be a maker ID someplace on them. I will search the internet to see if I can find a maker for you. Mower issues not so good! 😥 I am thinking the pair of jugs are majolica, if so they are worth a very good penny. I would send a photo to them and ask if they could be majolica. It seems they were the most decorated olive jugs. Some French were as well but not as nice. Who knows but certainly worth a deepdive to find out.

How lovely that you found a matching terrine AND a platter of the same too! I love all your purchases Patrick and Stuart, you certainly did well. I could never get enough of chandeliers if I owned a chateau and you are lucky enough to have plenty of rooms to keep acquiring them for. I have several in my house so that keeps me happy. 🥰

Hi guys fab watching you guys again x

Can't wait for your 100th episode , love those vases , hope you actually get your tractor back fixed and ready to cut your grass before the end of summer .

Your pottery vases look a little bit like Raffaellesco pottery from Italy, I’m sure you guys google lens’d it. Nice finds. 😘😘

You have purchased some beautiful things the two vases have you investigated the crest on the front of them that may help you where they came from. Love to all of you Xxxx

I sure am looking forward to Friday. It's always a pleasure watching what you're up to.

you both look so healthy and happy

I have been watching for a long time now. Really enjoying the videos (especially the diy). Couldn't stop laughing at 6.48 double entendre???

every time you show brocante shopping, I say "oooh, I'd buy THAT. and THAT.. oh there's one of those that I need.... oh and look there I would love one of those..." the husband says he's rethinking the next trip to France saying we don't travel with steamer trunks to bring all this stuff back he knows I'm going to want to buy. HA! I told him we can always ship it back! love your purchases! enjoy the weekend!!

Parádní úlovky

Nice shot of the fountain and the building with the Mansard roof, Stuart! Second Empire is my fave style of architecture. I also like Spanish style. Love the baby crystal chandelier. Those urns are quite interesting.

Love all your treasures. Such lovely items for your chateau ❤❤❤

It sounds like every move you make is a new adventure.

Beautiful pieces from both locations! I'm so sorry about the Tractor, and Brush Hog, but happy they are sending someone from the company to fix it. Thank you so much for sharing with us, and I'm sharing best wishes for you both. Till next time!!!

I also noted the vase full of lovely peonies they were perfect😊 good buys for your château 👌

You both make me laugh thank you love all you purchased .

100 episodes ... fantastic :) xx

Wow! You all did really well on the auction purchases. While I like the little slant front desk I think my favorite thing is the ‘Lampe de bouillotte”. I’m stumped on vases shown at abt 18:39. My first thought is they may be early Italian majolica - please let us know what you find out about them. As always, it’s an automatic thumbs up from me. 🤗

Really impressed with the items today!!!

You both found some beautiful pieces for your new home. It is hard for me to pick my favorite tbh. The countryside along your trip to the brocante is so beautiful. Too bad about the big blue tractor. I’m glad they’ve given you a mower. Will you be getting the tractor back at some point? Maybe 3rd time is the charm. I’m so glad to see you looking so healthy and happy. It really is hard to believe you’ve been there for a year. Blessings to you both. ❤❤

happy upcoming 100th episode!!!

Everything you found is gorgeous. Congratulations! I love the lamps, all of it. I am like the two of you- when I hold an old book I think of who held it before, who read it, what their home was like, life etc etc etc. I love the continuity and find it very comforting to feel part of a continuum.I love the beauties you picked up at the brocante. Fabulous finds.

Beautiful purchases

Love watching yous guys ❤can not wait for the next up date episode 100 can't wait🎉🎉

Awesome finds! The rug is so pretty! The Medici lamps are cool! You can also walk into the shop and they might get a little scared about your height. Hope the tractor gets fixed soon, like before the summer is over❤ the meat hook thing will look like it has been in your kitchen since it was built, and the door handles are just so solid and belong at your place

Lovely purchases especially the secretary it’s beautiful. The claw not as dangerous as it sound 😂. What do you call a charming person who continually digresses, answer a Patrick 😃 You are both such nice guys, and I’m looking forward to seeing your cousin Patrick, that’s if she doesn’t mind the camera, see you Friday 👋 😊

Good evening to my 2 favourite people. Firstly Patrick I love your digressions from one who does the same. Lol Stuart the view from the car was just amazing, it was so clear that I felt I was in the car with you. The items you purchased are amazing . I love the secretary and the Medici lamps. When I saw you again driving off in the tractor I was laughing away as you looked as if you were going in to battle and Stuart’s fab music is always spot on. I really think the tractor company should really either refund you or give a new replacement . One more thing before I forget did you ever bury the time capsule or did I miss the episode ? Anyway I digress sorry. I hope you will have fun deciding where to place all your lovely pieces you have bought. Xx🇨🇮

Great finds. I love seeing what you score online and in your travels. Buying for the home is so satisfying. Building new memories with each treasure. I was very distracted by the vase full of gorgeous, white Peonies. All the best with the tractor saga. Glad you spoke with Jonathan in person, Patrick.

I love all of your beautiful finds, Patrick and Stuart!! I’m so sorry about your lawn mower, it’s a kick in the pants to wait so long for it to be fixed only to have something else go wrong moments after getting it back. Patrick, I do the same thing you do by imagining who from bygone years used this or that, and who walked the halls of the chateau in the past centuries. Oh if walls could talk, the stories they would tell. Stay well! xx

My goodness, that Brocante' was huge!! and such great finds! Am awaiting to see your entire place completed!!!

All these lovely treasures make me want to go hunting for more of my own😂 delightful chat and allways fun to watch Thankyou for sharing your adventures and mishaps, good luck with the tractor fix too!

You found some beautiful things! I also love the beautiful peony flowers on the dining room table!❤

Lovely as always. ❤ Every single piece from the brocante was just GORGEOUS! I’m in love with those vases. Patrick, you’ll be pleased to know that Maxwell is also a big nerd, and I find that adorable. ❤ He checks out college textbooks from the library and reads them FOR PLEASURE, if you could imagine!! One of the many reasons I love him so. ❤ Stuart, I notice you always nod along as Patrick speaks German during the intros. Do you also speak German? So many talents! You both continue to inspire me with each vlog. Big hugs to you both. ❤❤

Such great finds!

Wonderful episode , I always feel so inspired afterwards and have always wanted my own tractor. Love you both and thanks for sharing. p.s. great finds !

Always love it when you take us shopping with you- Best Wishes from Las Vegas

Great finds!

Great auction finds and brocante finds! Definitely out of the dry spell for brocanting! I love the matching tureens and serving dish! Very pretty! The vases are beautiful, hope y'all are able to find out some information about them. Much love and prayers!

Congratulations on your hauls from the auction and the brocante. With the brief glace of the pots' interiors, they look coil built not wheel thrown. They are faience which is simply a tin glazed pottery that is then decorated. With the symbolism of fertility (pomegranate) and life (wheat) they may have been made to serve as a wedding gift. The glaze seems to have crackling which indicates different coefficients of expansion between the clay and its glaze. If you snap your finger nail against the pottery if it has a dull sound it is low fired. If the piece has a ping it is high fired and suggests it is newer. I would think it will be low fired as the clay body seems to have absorbed particles that discolored it. They will not hold water if low fired; it will leech through the pottery. Which means, if you want to use them for floral arrangements put a glass vase inside of them to hold the water and flowers. Great haul!

Well Patrick digressing within the first minute of volg love it great snap shot of France guys again you certainly got great taste for broconting hopefully the claw gets better soon love your laid back attitude to life keep them volgs comming and keep digressing 😂❤

Ahahahaha "the Claw"! Oh Noooo... no laughing mater, alas! Yes, the manufacturer should attend the machine; definitely something wrong as it's brand new.

Patrick love the look with that beard ❤

Great brocante! I love everything you purchased. The vases rather look like majolica.

Loving the new facial hair Patric,

The pair of vases are exquisite 💫

Fabulous finds and purchases boys ❤

Nice video! I just love the vases!

The vases are fascinating. The symbolism of wheat sheaves and of pomegranates are associated in Ancient Greek myth with Persephone (wheat) and Hades (pomegranates). Hades came up from the Underworld and abducted Persephone, daughter of Demeter, goddess of the seasons and growth of food (and thus survival in the ancient world). Demeter was so distressed as she searched the world for her daughter that she forgot about ensuring the seasonal changes and so the world was devastated by famine. She sought Zeus to intervene and to aid the return of Persephone. Unfortunately Hades gave Persephone some pomegranate seeds to eat (if you eat in the Underworld you are doomed to stay there), so her return to earth was conditional and she had to return each winter to Hades. However this compromise ensured crops would again grow. Homer told/wrote a Poem to Persephone. Maybe this image is borrowed from renaissance fascination with the ancient Greeks?? The Lion and the Fleur de Lys in the centre indicate this is may be later than the renaissance, but I am unsure when those symbols occur in European art. I love your channel and watch with interest your summer chateau and garden, while here in southern New Zealand we are feeling cold and dark with midwinter's day in a fortnight.

On your pair of hand thrown decorated glazed pottery pieces, it looks like the fruit depicted are pomegranates with their seeds flowing. They are the symbol of fertility, good luck and good fortune. Nice find.

Hello from the tiny island of Mauritius!👋

OMG awesome finds. Love everything! Have fun with your guests😉

Sorry to hear about the short lived tractor repair, but Patrick does have the Royal wave down. Glad they are loaning you a riding lawn mower in the interim. The chateau auction items are really nice and the Brocante items are nice as well. I agree about the secretaire and wonder who may have used it for writing letters. Take care my friends and enjoy your guests. Ralph Rocchiccioli

Great vlog as always and great finds, absolutely loved the little desk.. Looking forward to Friday! When you watch every week it's hard to remember the progress!🥰🥰🥰

Enjoyed the vlog. Love the auction and Brocante finds 😊

Love the Aubusson.

I love Patrick's "I digress" always fun to watch Journey to the Chateau

LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS

I just love those vases. (From your South African viewer)

I love the little desk.

Evan's bus arrived so I missed 1/2 the show. Will re-watch & catch up. Love & hugs to you both.
