I love it you’re still in contact with the former heir. You really should invest in busts of yourselves and add one to each wing! You are an important part of Purnon’s history for future generations.

I subscribe to many Chateau channels. This episode popped up in my RU-vid feed. I was intrigued. My intrigue soon turned to amazement. What a wonderful history found in the attic and cellar. The refurbishment and cast of the busts gave me goose bumps. Superb production. Most appropriate and soothing background music. First rate video. I instantly subscribed to your channel. Oh yeah, the Chateau is extraordinary.....!

Welcome! Thank you for your message. We are thrilled that this episode captured the emotion and joy that we feel with this important milestone.

@ManWhoLovesTheMary 6 дней назад

At long last! I have much anticipated what the busts would do to the overall appearance of the chateau. So unique. You really don’t see that on at least a lot of the chateaux I’ve seen being restored. One of those focal points of interest. If I didn’t already know, I’d point out that interesting shape that looked like a bust and ask what it was. I feel like there will be many visitors and onlookers who will ask just that! It was also encouraging to get the story on the probable reason these two particular reigning monarchs were chosen to serve as busts for this magnificent chateau.

2 дня назад

Thanks for your message. Thankfully we have the elements of the originals now to display in our entrance. So people will see the busts on the roof summit as intended and the also people will be able to admire them up close in the chateau itself. The best of both worlds!

@kimclarke5018 6 дней назад

The busts are magnificent. Such a labor of love to restore what once was…..

6 дней назад

Thank you! They are truly magnificent.

@toddlarkin5620 6 дней назад

What a wonderful balancing act! I kept thinking about all the weight that that stone façade must support, including the busts. Tim asks, "What do the busts have to do with the family who owned the château?" I thought, "Naturally, members of the family were elevated or gained prestige under the two reigns." Yay! Not far from what M. Didier made out at the end. And how good to see a member of the family on premises to learn with the rest of us. Great work, everybody!

@kathibrooks1401 6 дней назад

I felt like weeping. What a beautiful video. Thank you to every last person to make this happen. And to the both of you for fighting to save this beautiful building. I'm in the US and still feel it deep in my heart.

@elisabethbenders-hyde5286 6 дней назад

I am curious whether posting your efforts to renovate the chateau on RU-vid spurred the government to become involved. I remember your struggles as you single-handedly tried to catch the massive leaks in the roof with buckets and dug out the tunnels leading out of the dry moat by hand. Now you have armies of craftsmen swarming the building and a well-renowned architect talking about what a cultural treasure Purnon is. Don't get me wrong, I think it's incredible what they are doing. There is so much cultural history in Europe that is slowly sinking into the ground, the undertaking to restore it all is massive. I'm glad you found Purnon and are saving her and that so many people have rallied around to make it happen.

6 дней назад

The French Government (DRAC) has been by our side from the very beginning. In the weeks before we became the legal owners of the Chateau they met with us on site (which is virtually unprecedented) and said they would stand with us as we strived to save her. While it is true that we work tirelessly every day to save her (as you outline in your message) we have been strongly supported by an extraordinary architect, incredibly skilled artisans and, notably, by the French Government. Thanks for your message and for following our adventure.

This is a visually stunning episode. The story of the discovery and recovery of these two busts are a story all to themselves. Simply a feast for the eyes.
