Welcome back to Chateau de Puy Vidal. In this episode, the wisteria has blossomed at the chateau and we begin to repurpose and reimagine the rooms at the Chateau. After many weeks of deep architectural thought, conversations, ideas and input from various friends and professionals we finally submit our requests to the architects.
Robert witnesses his first pro cycling race in the area and we join our neighbors for the season opening 8 kilometer countryside walk and Penelope gets some big news!
To come and experience Chateau de Puy Vidal in person- book now for our our "Château Life Stays" on our website for this May- August!
Book here: www.theladyofthechateau.com/s...
-------
These are the adventures of Julia, her partner Carolina, her sister Penelope and her parents Maruca and Robert; an American family taking a leap of faith and living out a long-awaited dream.
Château de Puy Vidal is a medieval fortress turned renaissance Castle, and is located in the Charente region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, France. This channel is dedicated to our love of chateaux, old stones, magic, family and history. We share with you our process of applying to visas, setting up a business, purchasing a property sight unseen during COVID all before moving across the world. What happens when your dreams come true?

again i think your dad has the best option. sacrifice that room to a sitting area. instead of creating a hallway.

@mariehoffman7542 Жыл бұрын

Careful that the metal feet of the dining room doesn't damage the wooden floor. Needs protection of some kind.

@jennifercampbell7698 Жыл бұрын

Yes, I prefer Robert’s option in preference to adding the hallway that impacts the 2 bedrooms. Also in case of fire guests may not be able to use the lift so more straight forward access to the stairs may be preferable. Love the new layout of the billiard table and new eating area. Also good idea to trial furniture arrangements and seating areas. Also the new location of Penelope’s apparatus is ideal. Perhaps some solar lights in the trees and around to light up nighttime performances? Congrats to Penelope on obtaining her work permit and visa! 👏🏻👏🏻🥳🥳🥰

I was overwhelmed by joy that came from knowing this beautiful place is in the right hands when I saw you repurposing spaces until the renovations can be done - the Billiard table to a larger room replaced by little tables at which people can gather. I also believe your decision to go through 2 more seasons As Is is very wise. The best renovations come when you have lived and worked in a place. Even better ideas will come to mind. You don’t have to be in a rush. She is beautiful as she is.

That is why I will treat myself to a 3 night stay, I have not done anything for myself since 2011 since mum passed after 5 mths in hospital then I looked after dad who had alzhiemers, he passed away last week and his funeral is Saturday. I will go to Chile to visit the family first but will be planning my trip to Europe for April 2024.By then I am sure all the renovations will have done!

Absolutely brilliant to convert the room in the Toile du Jouy suite with egress to the stairs into a sitting area or accessible common space. The perfectly proportioned king room should be left untouched. Creating long walks into dark, narrow hallways where there aren’t any already seems counter intuitive. The bathroom and kitchenette can be redesigned for better functionality if you really want to maximize the suite. Can’t wait to see what you decide there.

I love that you all are taking the time to sit with your decisions over the next season and not rushing into anything. It's so hard to predict how you'll use the space and what feels natural until you've actually been in operation. And even then, I'm sure your plans will adapt as Puy Vidal (hopefully!) finds success and maturity as a business. Congrats to Penelope on the work approval, and hopefully she will be back with you for good very soon! I didn't realize how much I missed seeing her in videos until she and your dad were back, but she truly brings such a positive and creative energy and I loved seeing Julia talk up her tech career accomplishments, haha. That's a good big sister!

Hopefully everybody is understanding that dad’s life has completely changed. This is a big move for him. Acclimating himself is not going to be terribly easy. But he has his hand with him and his little baby chicks. You could see them around him so he is in control of his family. I don’t want to say Incontrol I want to say that he is happy that they are surrounding him. He has everything around him. That makes him happy. It’s just not familiar territory for him. Give him a break today you girls

There is a similar race hosted by nature valley held very near to us here in the twin cities (MN) and it's very exciting. I think you will make the best decision as far as hallway vs sitting area, both would be fantastic. Though I'm a little biased toward the sitting area, given the additional function it provides.

It makes more sense especially in a (knock on wood) time of an emergency where guests have to evacuate quickly. Maybe it can be used as a guest lounge or even waiting or resting room or small library.

Always a pleasure to watch your vlog. Converting the room into a sitting area and getting to the stairs through that room is the best option. Maybe the architect already proposed an alternate layout to move the entire corridor of that wing to the opposite side and have a direct connection with the circular stairs (still keeping a hallway to get to the elevator) With the revised corridor and reconfiguring all the rooms you may get a more efficient use of the space. This may be a long-term solution and related to the budget.
