Chateau de Pesteils: In the Same Family for Over 400 Years. Tour with the Owner. 

Not a castle, but my family has kept the house I grew up in for around 800 years now. The oldest family document mentionning us being in that village dates back to 1247, it’s a legal document stating that my ancestor had the right to have his animals graze on the monastery’s lands. The monastery still remains, not far from the house, Saint Nicolas de Campagnac, in Sainte Anasthasie du Gard, France.

As someone learning French she speaks in such a wonderful way that allows me to actually follow a good proportion of what she is saying! Makes it all the more engaging. Brilliant storyteller!

She does a remarkable job of showing and explaining the castle. Lots of history without getting dry and bogged down in details. I got a nice sense of the history of the castle and the family through time.

A tour by a most gracious hostess of a beautiful old château.

Astonishing castle! I wish the best for the lady and her family! There's one mistake I noticed in the subtitles though. The word donjon in french means The primary fortified tower of a castle but in english the word dungeon means prison or underground tunnels so the subtitles should translate donjon to tower or keep. Also just to inform anyone who stumbles upon this comment, this castle has undergone renovations which eliminates most the castle's defensive aspects.

Merci Madame Miramon.

So very special all the families together. That letter made me cry. Very precious.

It is indeed spectacular! Thank you for sharing this fascinating history of this beautiful chateau.

Magnifique visite, merci Madame.

This castle is absolutely beautiful, the history, is incredible. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Madame. This is an exquisite chateau. The history is preserved beautifully. Such beauty and history....such a treat to have seen it! I am from Louisiana and truly enjoyed this tour.

Mme de Miramon, Merci pour la visite et l'histoire de votre château familial. Quel endroit très spécial! Vos ancêtres sont certainement ravis que vous preniez autant soin du château et de ses histoires.

Merci madame de partager la beauté et l'histoire de votre château 🌹

The Letter was beautiful! What a great inspiration and call to arms for future generations. I could see spending an afternoon reading the letters would really rally the spirit!!

It was amazing to see someone from the family talk and take you around. I always like to see the descendants of these families.

What a beautiful tour and what a pleasing soft-spoken lady. The chateau is so full of history! I would love to visit it.

Thank you so much for a wonderful tour of such a beautiful castle. The inside with all the furnishings is just stunning. The ceilings, tapestries, and fireplaces are amazing.

This is just incredible! The history, the beauty😍 and so awesome with the wax figures. Love it! Thank you for uploading💗

I truly appreciate this lovely woman sharing her home with us. Who could put a price on such an historical structure?

amazing restoration. I can only imagine all the damages that were the baseline , and the amount of work invested to this date. REMARKABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've wanted to visit France my whole life --over 40 years now! I'm on Disability now --I can still go if I had the money, but time is running out with my health and all. I have to rely on kind folks like you for these videos and the owner of that castle for giving us a tour. If she ever reads this, thank you, merci. You are very blessed!

So lovely to hear a native French speaker! This channel will help me learn the language!😘

Thank you so very much for the history and tour of your lovely home.

Thank you for that walk through history in your magnificent chateau! You did a wonderful job explaining everything. So many priceless treasures! I hope it continues to be in your family for many years to come. I can tell it has been very loved & cared for.

С первых кадров не смогла оторваться от просмотра. Я не знаю французский язык. Но я всё поняла глядя на экскурсовода. Дом великолепен! Очаровывает каминами, сводчатыми потолками, фресками, гербами, нишами, лестницами. Удивила компактность комнат, как они умещались, например, в маленькой молельной комнате? Стулья не большие совсем. Стало интересно где же дамы хранили свои наряды? Очень понравился кабинет. Счастье, что история смогла храниться до наших дней.

merci pour cette visite, vous êtes la mémoire vivante de notre patrimoine et de notre histoire

Yvonne de Miramon is an exceptionally dignified and articulate woman who presents her family's history with consummate class. This is an outstanding presentation of her family's property. :) Antoine

Thank you Madam de Miramon for the lovely tour if this fantastic Castle. Such a treasure.

I don't speak French but studied for four yrs in high school and saw many French films and tv shows. She has the loveliest voice and most intriguing and cultured French accent that I've heard. Une femme formidable! Edit:. And there's nothing pretentious about the way she speaks.

Wow!! This château and its contents and history is exquisite!! Simply lovely. The château owner is so informative.

That painting of a young lady in a white lacy dress with pink roses is amazing and haunting. Beautiful.

Most enjoyable guided tour by someone who really cares for and loves this beautiful château , in its beautiful forest setting . Grateful thanks .

Just wow, just an amazing architecture even at the start of the video.

Merci madame d'avoir vu ces châteaux. Tous les palais de France sont très beaux et merveilleux. Malgré cela, j'ai vécu en France pendant 16 ans dans la banlieue parisienne, et maintenant nous sommes en Australie. Mais j'aime toujours voir tout ce qui concerne la France et le comprendre. Je sais qu'il est traduit en anglais. Je peux le lire, mais je comprends le français à quel point Nous sommes en Australie depuis 18 ans, mais j'aime les Français et je les considère comme mon pays. Mes enfants, qui sont nés à Paris, sont vraiment très merveilleux, et je vous en remercie.❤❤❤❤❤

How very wonderful, same family • A true home.

Thank you for the tour! Fascinating place. Just one thing.... it's not a dungeon, but a donjon. In English it would be called a castle keep for times of war as the chatelaine explained so well.

It’s amazing 400 years these people stayed put! So cool!!!

My word what a beautiful place, both inside and out. I simply love this channel.

Absolutely beautiful home and presentation. It's so great to be able to experience a little bit of history and see their beautiful home. I loved the stained glass windows and all the magnificent tapestries! Thank you both for the wonderful tour!

Stunning and simply amazing piece of History. I don't understand why other rich families they don't cultivate such a beautiful castles and do not preserve all that history... Is just you will go back in Time.... WHY THERE IS ONLY FEW LIKE THAT...? HANDS DOWN TO THIS FAMILY AMAZING!

This was a lovely tour and the lady Yvonne has a lovely voice, which I enjoyed while reading the captions. Thank you and your family for sharing your history in this amazing place.

Beautiful and lovingly shared vision and atmosphere of this ancient place invoking thoughts of bygone days with grace by the present Chatelaine

It is easy to learn French from this Lady because she speaks so clearly and elegantly

Incredible pesentation and walked through history in this amazing tour.

Magnificent ❤ Light and elegantly restored period features. Stunning Era! Can almost feel the presence of regal delights 👑

😍Absoutely fantastic!! Thank you!!💕💕

Очень приятная мадам экскурсовод)) французский не знаю, но досмотрела до конца)

Maravilloso el castillo, me encantó su estilo, decoración e historia familiar. La carta que mostró logré leerla en su mayoría y me gustó por su visión e interés de que toda la historia sea conocida y se mantenga en el tiempo. Gracias por el video.

Thankyou so much for a wonderful interesting tour. So much history attached to chateau and families.

Classe, eleganza e cultura in questa grande dame

Wow! Simply amazing! Such a beautiful chateau. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Just beautiful. Congratulations to this family. The maintenance would be hard to keep up with. So picturesque.

Magnifique! Thanks, very much, to la Dame Pesteils and So Chateaux!!

Wonderful chateau and you are to be commended on the entry way. Beautifully done and so fitting! Good health to you all!

Cette dame est d'une classe absolue.

Beautiful castle. Ownership & history with the family is amazing.

Thank you. That was a beautiful tour.🇬🇧

Very lovely, and such beautiful architecture. Bravo.

For the subs - a donjon isn't a dungeon but a keep. Basically a tower instead of a cellar. Makes a difference. Otherwise, love the video and the castle.

Endroit charmant. Belle vidéo. J'aime bien...☺️☺️☺️

Merc,i madame, pour cette belle visite dans votre superbe demeure.

Wow so beautiful amazing ancient things, architectures and castle.Its really memorable from the past Merci Madam

Thank you for this lovely tour. I really enjoyed it. :)

What a beautiful, beautiful place! And the most exquisite taste. Wonderful.

Beautiful house. And lived in, not a museum. Great channel!

A beautiful chateau

Thank you. Very beautiful.

One of the absolute coolest fortresses standing🔥🔥💜🕊 Sooo freakin cool 💜👍🏾

I can't imagine what it looked like. First two rooms were changed and big things taken out.

Quel splendide château à l'histoire si riche. Merci Madame pour cette belle visite. La France est sans aucun doute l'un des plus beaux pays du monde. Vous, Français, devez impérativement protéger votre magnifique héritage contre l'envahisseur moderne qui le regarde d'un œil envieux. La lettre de Gabriel de Miramon m'a beaucoup touché. Vous êtes la France, pas l'Afrance, gardez toujours bien cela en tête. Rendez fiers vos aïeux et faites en sorte qu'ils ne se soient pas battus, n'aient pas souffert ni bâti tout cela pour rien.

Beautiful building. A donjon is not a dungeon in the modern sense of the word but a 'keep'.

HOORAY! Wonderful tour!!

Merci! Just beautiful!

Teisseire is a French manufacturer and brand of flavoured syrups. Although primarily used for creating soft drinks when diluted with water, they are also used in making cocktails and flavoured coffee. The company was founded in Grenoble in 1720 by Mathieu Teisseire and remained in his immediate family until the mid-19th century.

What a beautiful castle! I would so love to visit it one day!

Well, that was amazing. A journey back in time. To an age when times were hard, and the people were strong. Thank you for sharing. The note from the great grandfather was very poignant.

Боже, какой красивый замок! Интерьер !❤❤❤

Thank you ❤

I am in awe !

What a tremendous treasure! She knows her history that's for certain.

Gorgeous Home/Chateau.

Very Nice, Thank you.

Величественно и уютно одновременно… чувствуется вкус в деталях…Ощущения магии. Браво. Долгих лет.

What A Beautiful Place To Have A “Castle” So Nice This Lady Too Give A Tour,She Talked A Bit Fast But It Was Ok😊Can’t Imagine Who Keeps It Clean & Dust Free😮Thanks For Sharing USA ❤

Maravilloso video, y precioso castillo. Gracias a Mma. Miramon

Magnifique!

Lovely presentation❤️

Absolutely stunning 🌹

Incredible!

Наверное, замок был построен раньше 1608 года. В 1608 году, он был передан семейству Мирамон? В замке висят гобелены, где люди изображены в одеждах начала XVI века. Интересное видео! Аристократичная женщина. Спасибо! 💐💐💐

Full of history. Well maintained castles.❤❤
