My thoughts exactly.....😘

Young and handsome, many good years ahead!

He should have large life-size paintings of himself for the history of the house.

Yes, he is super handsome, and I seldom say that. Nice that he studied and doing well in all ways

Yessssssss! I really hope so, too.....would be absolutely wonderful to follow along on the journey and restoration of such an incredible property ❤️

Yes, I hope so also.

YES!

I agree. I could help fund his restorations, bring advice and give so much joy to those who wish to follow this incredible Chateaus journey

yes||||||||~~~~~please

The whole point of buying such properties and going through painful and expensive of renovation is to preserve the original style. Otherwise he would have probably gone with something modern

@@olgaanisimova6916 People often buy old things and "improve" them

I don't think he knows renovation costs. This is going to cost millions.

This is a listed building. He can’t just do as he wants. He must follow certain rules.

Not if he rips out his antique fler de lis Desvres tiles it won't. He does not know their value.

@@TheSecretChateau give him a break. He will learn. It will be good

If you mean the blue tiles in the kitchen, he said they were from the 60s as all the original wood and floors were sold. Listen. Be kind.

@@northerngirl4666 At one glance I could tell to a year what decade those Desvres tiles are from. They are famous in Normandie. My family owns one of the manufacturers and have been in production since 1852. Be kind? You know nothing. Lecture someone else if you think you know what you're talking about!

@@TheSecretChateau There is another Chateau lady who is English and her husband is (German?) if I remember correctly and she had these delft (?) type tiles or Desvres as you say, replaced by hand ...she is an artist and she either redesigned them but in the old technique or replaced them. I can't remember. But she used one of the last artisans who does this kind of work. Perhaps you are the one? Anyway she did a fine job. She had quite the artist's eye to draw beautiful floral patterns on them in the blue & white style. The Fleur de Lis is such a special symbol of pre-revolutionary France. The royals used the symbol, and the English also used it (or copied it) and I'm sure it has special meaning and spiritual significance. Many crowns of gold among the European monarchs were wrought using this motif/symbol. I hope he retains these tiles and replaces the missing ones with one of the old manufacturers like your family as well!! He can call it the Fleur de Lis Room ...& his China or Stoneware can be in blue and white also ...that used to be very common in 17th and 18th century Europe/France as well ...especially when trade with China became more common ...then European craftsmen came up with more European scenes ...but keeping the blue and white colors. It would be stunning!!! A blue & white kitchen/dining room/family-dining area!

Or maybe the youtube channels are more international oriented, a lot of French people are renovating, taking care of heritage building. Your view based on what you see on internet might have a bias. There're problems with taking care of building in France ( and Europe) but good , it's not just foreigners that are taking care of it ...

What I want to know why are so many families letting their Chateaus deteriorate ……. while they are disputing in court what do do with their inheritance

@@gioiapharo7433 Apparently there are often multiple owners of a property and they often cannot come to an agreement, as every child, by French law, has a share. When this comes to the next generation then the next, I suppose it becomes really complicated.

There are lots of French people doing the châteaux, just not on TV.

My thoughts exactly I'm french myself and it is refreshing

Yea, i would like to be “treated”by this handsome doctor 🤪

@@patriciahedrick4197 Damn that's hot. I think this will serve me as my wet thought for today

Mansard

That was Mansart's chateau! Amazing!

I agree. He also has a very kind and intelligent demeanor that is very calming.

Oh Wow! Amazing my friend, amazing! I'm sure your home must be just gorgeous too. Btw, IMPO, France, Scotland & Ireland, so very beautiful! All beautiful, but in their own unique ways. Almost all of Europe is beautiful, in it's own right, but the 3 mentioned above, oh yes please!

I fully agree with your sentiments here! I typed something very similar. Cheers

A you tube video by Antoni would be SO exciting. I'd be quite interested in watching the restoration as well. ....! !

That was really nicely written! With such lovely things to say! 🙂🙏🏻⭐🇨🇦✌

Yes, the architecture is stunning & mind blowing indeed!

@@phyllisburrell8661 I'm considering posting videos on KZfaq. I have a channel that I've not used, yet, but have updated info on it. Stay tuned. Thank you-

@@nativetexson Yes! Don't you dare do it without us. Take us along for the journey... Lol🌼

@@monicagaitor6751 I subscribed already to this channel. Ha ha. Yes beautiful to follow.

Congrats on your upcoming move. France is magical. I would follow you vlog when you start the journey to restore a chateau

@@Cate7451 what is the name of the château ? I can’t read it on the video.

He’s as gorgeous as the chateau

Dr Mcdreamy lmao

Are they in Egypt atm!!!

@@arnicepernice8656 I think the Chatelaine of that Chateau has much better taste than many other of the owners featured on Channel 4's Chateaux DIY. The couple from Essex's Chateaux is dire. Dreadful dark flocked wallpaper and bling everywhere. Very Essex.

@@arnicepernice8656 Stephanie has excellent taste and a very good understanding of what is appropriate in her chateau. I'm an architectural historian and specialize in period interiors. She is doing the best job of restoration and decoration of any other KZfaqr that I know of, except for Timothy Corrigan of the U.S. and a few other owners, like Jacques Garcia, who is vastly wealthy and can do whatever he likes. Luckily, what Jacques does is appropriate. John Bourke was referring to a few others, whom I won't name - NOT to Lalande. If you think her taste is questionable, then perhaps you could more fully research period French decor. She is doing it right - especially considering that Lalande is a blank slate, having been burned in the 19th c.

@@cynthialambert9067 perhaps you could note that using fake expensive ENGLISH wallpaper when you have no heat , rotting windows, rooms in much worse repair than when she bought does not make for good restoration. I have a very good appreciation of correct landscaping and interiors which is what attracted me to this channel. It’s now being ruined by frippery and her boyfriend who has absolutely no sense of style,colour , period or proper proportions. And endless very poor purchases. Filling the place with junk. With 33k a month from patron many other chateau would be heated, and decorated along with laid staff not volunteers. Using inappropriate panelling for much grander rooms ,Iwould not want your advice thank you. She did do some very creative things in the past few years now nothing. The marquis apartment is a mess, who decorates when the fires and chimney need attention. It’s dreadful management. You can tell Isabelle is very unhappy about things too. Anyway there are some who need to dream and escape and for some reason they find her chateau. It would also seem that many are now not returning .And you always come up to defend your princess. Let’s see what befalls the grand salon ,cure held up with props.

@@arnicepernice8656 🤣

Judgemental! There are many many French people doing this, just not on TV. Things are still real, even if they are not on TV!

@@katehobbs2008 exactly if they watched one or two French speaking chateau owners on YT their feeds would start showing more of them. It’s just that most Americans only speak English.

This channel features mostly French chateau owners.

There are supposedly over 43 000 manor houses and bigger in France many for sale in all states of repair ,some with no land at all ,roofs can be patched but a big looming expense for you sad the interiors gone ,some records of interior must exist hopefully so you can insulate rooms you wish to use and decorate as period and have modern advances to your taste the exteriors are original and beautiful but inside you could paint it pink as bare masonry left by builders when panaling and floors striped out.wiould be worth it to reproduce the blue tile in the kitchen to make good all to the damage.A water turbine would be a great help to heat the Leakey rooms.

The French do like old buildings,they don’t have the money

Aude is a very nice departament.... we're in 23 surrounded by 3 chateaux 🥰🥰

The holes seem small for birds are you speaking homing pigeons. Interesting

I agree. However I suspect perhaps the holes were anchors for rods on which the birds could perch for resting and sleeping.

Which ones do follow? I have some I follow too.

Worst mistake of a person's life. better buy other things

@@gamerhd8101 Most things in life are a waste of money, it is to each person how they'd like to waste theirs. He will not profit from doing this but the chateau will stand for longer because of it.

I agree! I honestly find most French people to have great taste, as when I lived/worked in France, I rarely came across anything truly out of place, inappropriate, ugly or tacky as it were. I watch numerous French documentaries, regarding Chateaux & general architecture & interior design across France & all are always, so beautiful & very tastefully furnished.

I'm 66 I want to ask if he needs a wife. 😂

How right you are..he is such a dish...I wish he were my doctor...oh.boy!

Oh La la. 😂

🤭🤫🤭

Mike Lowe: Down boy, take a cold shower. But maybe he needs help with the renovation (like the British gay couple who have guests visit and work on projects in addition to the mother, father and nephew) and you could offer your services. Yes, yes, I know you want to give him a ‘hand’ but I think you’d have to get in line! But damn, those white pants look like the’re painted on!! Mon Dieu!!😅

There are some steps that can be taken to reflect the heat outward and help to circulate it as well, with the fireplace.

D'accord.
