From Southern California I'm thrilled to have found just today your Welcome to Chateau de Dampierre vlog. I'm sure you know this grand adventure will take great patience but well worth all the time and careful planning invested to be one of the champions ensuring the preservation of a French national treasure for many generations to come..
I'm an artist and have created an exceptional copy on canvas of Vameers, "Girl with a Pearl Earing" if your interested for a wall in your castle. I'm also a retired Building & Fire Official, so you can be sure that I love watching your renovation of the castle and grounds. 😊😊
You had me had Hello! Returning its soul is what every chateau deserves. I hope you don’t feel to restricted by the govt. your Chateau is absolutely magnificent!
I’ve been waiting to hear again about your beautiful chateau since you put out your first video- has it been 2 years?! I can’t wait to see how you complete the work and thank you for allowing us to follow along!
I think it is a good idea to document the renovation, not only for us but also for your heirs, when you will hand over the property to them. Such a property is a generational project.
This house has waited for you to bring it back to life! You certainly are the right person to restore it, enjoy it, it will bring you happiness along with the challenges. I wish you every success, thank you for sharing your future home in all its aspects.
My jaw actually dropped when i first saw the opening photography of the property . How can anything be so magnificent !!!! Congratulations on becoming it's newest caretakers !
Francois Mansart was a genius, his chateau de Maison is breathtaking! While the work ahead of you is very daunting, you have doubtless made a great purchase. Your dedication and commitment are laudable.
So glad to see you will show us the renovation journey! Exciting indeed, cannot wait! I visited France in the 70’s to see my sister dance at the Moulin Rouge and fell in love with all things French❤
After viewing the first video of your beautiful chateau, I too have been watching and waiting for an update. I’m absolutely thrilled that you have decided to vlog your journey and take us along with you! I follow many chateau vlogs…….but I have to say, your chateau is my absolute favourite! It’s going to be an epic rejuvenation project……all the Best!!!
Lovely to see the front gates being restored as he says its the first sight you see when going to the chateau and the last thing when you leave, Its nice to have a grand entrance. Generally ironwork in the UK is painted black which would really make the gold detailing pop. However ,I understand why anyone would want to go back to paint it the original colour in keeping with tradition
I can not wait to see your restorations. Sound like you are the perfect person to empathetically restore this Chateau. I saw your first vlog when you posted it awhile back. Thank you for sharing your journey. Your have a very special historical Chateau. Magnificent in its grandeur. 🤗
After watching your initial video, I too wanted to see how you were going to restore this beautiful chateau! I look forward to each episode, thank you!!❤
This could be an awesome Wedding Venue... I work as a wedding videographer and in my opinion this could be very listed for doing weddings all year around. Awesome place!
Hello from Canada looking forward to watching the renovations on this beautiful château . I think this is gonna be an exceptional Vlog, very professional🇨🇦
Hi Antoni, I was very excited when RU-vid sent me this Update this morning after I had seen the first video when it came out last year. I look forward to the restoration of your beautiful home !
Just discovered you today from first So Chateau channel and subscribed after finding your own new channel as I like your goals for your property to honor and restore the property by an native Frenchman taking pride in his native history to preserve it. I appreciate other channels of people coming from other lands with the finances and desire to restore and live in historic chateau, castles, etc. in France 🇫🇷 but it seems most fitting when native (ethnic) French people choose to dedicate love and finances to preserve such irreplaceable historic cultural treasure troves!❤
What a treat to have found your initial So Chateaux video from 2 years ago just this morning only to find you have began your own channel just two days ago. I can’t wait to take this journey with you. I’m here for years or decades, whichever it takes! 😁
When we saw your So Chateaux video 9 months ago, we found your property very beautiful and interesting historically. We are very happy to be able to follow your restoration journey. Bon courage! Candace & Ed
Ooooh I cannot even wait for this! I'm so thrilled to see this restoration and will absolutely visit once it is opened to guests! French architecture is so beautiful ❤️
Welcome back. Have been wondering what was happening with your Chateau. Absolutely magnificent to hear that you plan to restore the history, the character and the soul of the chateau to its original state. It will be very exciting adventure for you and for all of us followers.
Just found your vlog. How lovely. I will enjoy watching your progress during the restoration. You have alot of work to do. What a beautiful place. ⚜️⚜️⚜️
Really cool project! Would love to here some stories about the history of the place, of the family that owned it and the historical context of the time periods when the different parts of the castle were build.
So pleased to see you & the amazing chateau again. Please show us every room inside in detail before restoration & did you find any hidden treasures? Are there old photos of the interior & garden? Hats off to you for this exciting undertaking ❤
You also must know the lovely Timothy Corrigan who has had much success in restoring first the Grand Luce and now his Normandie chateau! With so many chateaux in france falling to ruin it is so exciting to see some restored and made to pay their way also. I am friends with Stephanie Jarvis who has paved the way with her Chateau Diaries, showing the inner workings and the tribulations of owning and renovating such a property. She will end up spending several times the resale value of the chateau but meanwhile it is being restored to a very high quality and it also employs many people and makes her a living! Sara and Steve from 'Manor & Maker' who live in my area are also doing a good job although they are just at the beginning of their adventure. Dan Preston from 'Escape to Rural France' has taken on a shell of a chateau completely burnt out and is making great progress so far and mostly alone ! All exciting projects to follow like yours. Best wishes
I saw the video about the tower (the little castle) on another channel a few months ago. I was hoping you would make a channel to cover your restoration journey. Thanks and good luck with the restoration!
Mi piace il tuo entusiasmo, il tuo buon gusto e la cura nel dettaglio. Le case hanno un’anima e bisogna rispettarle. Ti capisco perché anch’io abito in una casa antica e tante mie energie sono andate nel suo restauro. Ti seguirò in questa bellissima e coraggiosa avventura. Complimenti per tutto
This is wonderful. I like your philosophy about the restoration and glad you have historic photos to help you going forward. I'm here to help cheer you on.
I am so glad I stumble into your vlog today❤️ I am already amaze about the magnitude of the restoration to be accomplished at the same time sincerely admire your energy and commitment to this beautiful and divine project you are so invested and very proud of ✨⭐️🎊👋 Looking forward to more videos about the next and upcoming news about the restorations.. I hope one day I can come with my family to visit and stay at your property inside the chateau when it will be open to the public 🤗⭐️✨🎀🪅 would love to see and discover the greenhouse and the future gardens around the chateau 🌈
