It is wonderful to be able to see a true restoration. So important to keep history alive. So important that true artisans are able to practice their trades so that their precious skills, as well as the buildings, are protected.

We agree - heritage is at the heart of our project and we are so proud of the people who are working every day to help us save Château de Purnon.

My goodness, you are on such a journey! I celebrate and support it as it is one that I have long hoped to be on myself, saving a historic home from falling to dust. So very very glad you are both good documenters of your journey and willing to share it with those of us with similar dreams.

Hopefully the French Historical Society will grant you additional funds for the upcoming years! It is going to take a major benefactor to accomplish all of the restoration needs of the different buildings and out buildings!

Purnon is the quintessential - "fall in love with me at my worst and i'll stand proudly with you at my best" As i have always said Purnon has found an amazing family. Im always blown away by the sheer willpower, love, respect and admiration you both possess for this historical, behemoth beauty. To take the plunge on a place that had fallen so far from grace, whos future had only the bleakest of paths says alot about you guys and im in such awe and admiration of you both. This is not a journey for the faint hearted but it is an adventure for those brave enough to tread it with the eyes to see beyond, willingness to listen and learn and heart that knows the sun always shines after the rain ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Much love and hugs to you both ❤❤❤ always supporting you guys from a far and loving the videos. Always glorious to see ❤❤❤❤❤

I am so in awe of you both. Purnon is a beautiful structure but it is also the fabric of a social history that can’t be lost and won’t be thanks to you both.

Could you imagine if the chateau would be self sustainable like it was when originally built could you imagine the out come it would be like all the old country estates in England where the farmers rent the farm and the house gets some of the profits and the rents from the farms I hear sheep are a good economic endeavor all that cotton it would be fabulous 🥰

I have watched explorer's go through Pernon prior to your arrival. They were all so very respectful of her and I was speechless then. I am relieved God chose such wonderful competent people. You are so lucky I didn't believe she could be saved or no one would be able to get to her in time. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH

I appreciate how meticulously and professionally you are doing the work. It is not the same in all of the different chateaux in France. Your work stands out as excellent. Thank you!

What a wonderful story. Beautifully shot and told. You can be so proud of the work you're doing to restore Purnon and reconnect the community with her. It's clearly got a place in their heart. Once again Mademoiselle Truffe stole the limelight! (What is it about Australians and snakes......) Best wishes Maria et Rowan

Great work Tim & Flick. A monumental job. I have almost finished restoring the old National Bank in Euroa that was built in 1886, but it pales into insignificance compared to your task. I truly appreciate all the work you have both done, and will have to continue to do, and have just ordered a copy of the book for Christmas so I can read more details of your escapades.

Greetings from Canada! Just placed my order for the book... You're one of the few restoration channels that I love, especially for all of the detail and heritage. Can't wait to look through the book, and of course catch more videos... If I ever won stupid money in the lottery, I would pack up and move to France to restore a chateau. There's one that I fell in love with based on a few urban explorer videos... Good luck with your continued life journey!!

By the way, when I found your channel I thought Tim’s voice sounded familiar, but I had no idea why. When I read Tim had been in politics, I realised i must have heard you on the tv or radio! Talking about a chateau restoration is way more on my level 😂😂

I see the book is being offered which is a good thing but very disappointing to see what I assume is that we are to be lumped under the USA for shipping. Sorry that doesn't work for me I am Canadian.

@jeanettesantarelli1795 10 месяцев назад

I am not impressed with how when Chateau owners are always speaking about US and ignoring the fact there are lots of Canadian who subscribe and support their channels. It's like being a New Zealander and being always assumed to be Australian. @@kimsytsma8493

@user-lj1zu2qb8k 10 месяцев назад

Please have more videos about the restoration and work being done. Continuous talking was not a good video.

@katehobbs2008 10 месяцев назад

I found the conversation very interesting; I truly want to see them succeed, but I feel that I am being a grump in recent months because we simply do not know what is being done. A few video clips would be great. We have seen bees but no actual restoration of the roof and walls, which they mention here. 🇦🇺 I just don’t understand why they don’t show an work

You need to do weekly videos and make money. This video with off camera eye contact and the 2 of you separately talking to ? No one … really Hokey. And you’ve been in this long enough that you should have the rooms swept and cleared of rubble and odds and ends. Book idea great, that you’re not selling 500 signed and messaged for more $$$ shame … you have one of the largest and best estate château for private ownership … you should have a fall carnival on site or a Xmas decorators house show that has a outside Christkindlmarkt Raise money!
