commenting in 2024, Carole and Adrian have done such an amazing job restoring this chateau, they have done such a lovely job. So sad they have had to sell it and return to England. They have put their heart and soul into it. Thank you for the "before" tour.

@@WinstonSmithGPT Yeah I feel a little bit bad for him having to film all these conversations that use a lot of technical English, that he can probably hardly understand at the speed at which it's spoken. I would love it if a native Spanish speaker could caption Michael's vlogs so he can see them all like we do.

The beautiful bells start at at 7am and finish at 8pm. The full peels are 8am, midday and 8pm. They also mark the 1/4 hour. The church is worth a visit too. Thanks for sharing this Michael

@shaunsworld430 3 года назад

So glad to see this chateau finally being rescued after seeing it on many other RU-vid channels. Both Michael and Andrew are doing great work in getting these videos out each day, you definitely have to go back and view the outbuildings!!!!!! On a personal note, I do hope you keep up this style of video and maybe a similar amount, as long as it remains as enjoyable for you both as it does us!

@eleanorchapple8772 Год назад

I’m seeing this in 2023 Feb. The work that Carole has done in the salon and the dining room is immense and the results are astonishingly beautiful. It’s now hard to believe they are the same rooms!

So beautiful. Andrew is a really good cameraman, considering he is new to this. I have to add, normally I start to get a little bored with daily vlogs (but I still watch them and enjoy them), but Michael, you are putting out first quality content every day so far...I am really enjoying it.

@lollywenzel7276 3 года назад

Dear heavenly days - my soul was just gripped by the beauty and the almost insurmountable amount of work there is to do on that hauntingly beautiful place. By two people. As always, you’ve captured a bit of French history in your exquisite video

@MrKiwiboii 3 года назад

Wow... Since his first RU-vid, I have always loved watching Michael at work doing what he does best when it comes to renovations and sharing his experiences with others. This was another amazing video to watch and as usual, Michael sharing his tips on how to renovate certain areas is priceless. Well done to Andrew with your brilliant recording. You have a gift Andrew and I also wanted to know what was the name of the Piano song that was playing at 26:56 ??

@TRoth858 4 месяца назад

France must appreciate that there are so many brits & yanks that are buying these dilapidated chateaus. How sad that they've been let go for so long. Mind you, if they hadn't, they'd cost quite a bit more. Good luck to that couple. They have their work cut out for them. Michael you have to be one of the most kind, positive, and charming people ever. You're such a delight! ❤️

@DamsonElvira1212 3 года назад

If you are interested in the ‘earth mix’ flooring and why it was there (and are in the Uk) check out Little Moreton Hall (National Trust). This quirky Tudor building is slowly being rescued and currently has an excellent view of one of these floors being replaced. Having seen a few of these on chateau programmes I enquired and am told were used as they were excellent fire retardants (important in wooden structures), sound insulators, were cheap to put in and incredibly light (like pumice). Oh and the one at the Hall had an egg white finish so it gleamed like polished white concrete!

@stevenduncan5739 2 года назад

Beyond stunning. An absolute treasure. I am always amazed in the hidden architecture of the builders. Beautiful beyond words.
