I’m so pleased you gave a shout out to Ted and Lesa at Chateau de Montmagner. They work so hard and sleep in a tent in a slightly dodgy barn while they restore this unique 14th century Chateau and former Relais de la Poste. They have an EXTREMELY limited budget and need all the help they can get. So excited to see the third floor kitchen progression and of course, Ash’s sink!

Jonathan’s Journey: Growing Up In A Chateau

Jonathan is such a unique child. Show him the videos of Martijn Doolaard. He is such an artist at videography and photography. He is renovating a cabin in the Italian Alps. Watch his 1 year progress video. He also took two bike trips around the world. The photos from his trip are mesmerizing. Jonathan is exposed to so many interesting things. He has a remarkable career ahead of him. Maybe he can do LiDAR scans of historical buildings. Someone did that with Notre Dame and h the s data is no used for the restoration.

Let Jonathan try out the free version of Sketchup. He can scan and design a room in the Chateau and document his ideas on video. He definitely has Uncle Terry’s creativity. He needs a drone for his KZread channel. It just warms my heart to see him grow and developed his talents.

Oh how absolutely HEARTBREAKING it was to see that gorgeous chateau in such horrible disarray. I am so happy yall were thinking of buying it and that someone else will be purchasing it. Thank you for showing the beauty of it. ❤

I can imagine how magnificent this chateau was. It makes me sad to see the damage taggers do to buildings. I think it’s great Jonathan is creating his own channel. Who knows where it will take him?

I am looking forward to seeing France and chateaus thru his eyes and perspective.

I can never understand the mentality of those that would do such damage to a building. It is absolutely unbelievable. Just hoping the owner will sell it to someone who will restore it to its previous grandeur. Love your channel fellas, also Jonathan is a real plus … I’m looking forward to seeing his videos. …from PA, USA. …definitely like Jonathan’s Place as a title for his channel. 🤣

I was absolutely thrilled to see Jonathan! He is definitely destined for great things, I for one will be joining in on his channel, it is going to be fun seeing the château and all the work going on through his eyes. I think a good name for his channel would be “Jonathan’s World” or “Château Life With Jonathan”, no matter what he names his channel, I know it will be as unique and amazing as he his. As for this chateau tour, I honestly watched this video with tears in my eyes. This building is so beautiful with many unique features, seeing it in ruins and destroyed at the hands of a$$ holes who don’t care about anything other then themselves, made me so very sad. However, I thank you for showing this beautiful property and allowing my mind to immerse in its beauty and imagine what it looked like when it was whole. Hopefully the new owners will start a KZread channel and we can watch the progress of this magnificent lady being brought back to life.

I could see Edwardian ladies floating elegantly through that magnificent grand entry and the upstairs rooms. I'm not sure if it was the cinematography, the music or the ghosts of the ladies... So sad to see these old chateaus in such a state. I'm sure the Lalacelle community is very happy that you are restoring their chateau. It is too bad we all don't have enough years and enough money to be able to restore many many of the old and glorious buildings not only in France but around the world. Speaking of money, thank you for mentioning the @ChateauDeMontmagner channel. I'm a patron of theirs too. They have done amazing things with their old castle without much money, but with lots of love and muscle. The other fairly new channel I love is: The Beau Chateau! Thanks for this lovely video!!

Yes you can just imagine people walking around in their beautiful dress 🥰

Love the video! Thank you for sharing with us. Hopefully the new owner will restore it to its former glory and not modernize everything. I really appreciate your approach towards modernizing your château. It's so sad when the unique character of old buildings get taken away. If you have a new building IMO you're welcome to do whatever the heck you want with it. But old buildings aren't simply the property of the owner. They are part of the cultural heritage of the country they're in. You're just a temporary caretaker of the past for the future.

Chateau de Montmagner is defenitly worth following! Lesa and Ted are a great couple restoring an old Relais de Poste, Chateau de Montmagner!

The damage brings tears to my eyes. Yet amazingly enough one can still look past it and see the grandeur.

I love the idea of seeing everything through Jonathan's eyes maybe a good name could be Jonathan's journey? Thanks for mentioning Ted and Lesa at montmagner, I have followed them from the very beginning when Ted announced "we have arrived " they are very much like yourselves, hard working, careful to keep things original and again like yourselves a lovely couple. I can't wait to see the kitchen installed and finished and I am sure you will pick an amazing colour for the walls

I LOVED this episode! Its heartbreaking to see buildings like this 😢 I hope someone rescues it. Proper urban explorers don't vandalise they only take photos, this has probably been done by kids. The wallpaper and vaulted ceiling and windows in the entry hall are incredible xx

So excited for Johnathan’s French Chateau Journey ! His videographer skills have grown. Funny story... My granddaughter, age 5 at the time, was flower girl in my son’s wedding. Unbeknownst to anyone, she had grabbed a Reception table camera (110)? & went on a Photographic Adventure! We never knew until the pictures were developed! Her view, & the pictures she took were mind blowing. In a snap moment, she took the cutest picture EVER of my daughter in law. It was so memorable. Count me in as a subscriber for Johnathan. REMEMBER ‼️ YTube algorithms, & how it works. In describing your channel, add hashtags. #France #FrenchChateau #Travel #FrenchTours Get the idea? YT algo will then recommend his videos. This granny is proud of you Johnathan.❤

Love the video, that Chataeu would have been stunning in its day. Please don't confuse 'Explorers' with 'Vandals' as the majority of explorers are there to look and don't touch, they see the history the natural paint peel and decay. Vandals just destroy and have no thought for anything belonging to other people. So glad that there maybe new owners to restore this Chataeu and Chapel back to its glory. Jonathan should call his new channel 'A down to earth view of our Chateau'. Well done everyone, I did enjoy this 💕🇦🇺

What a magnificent Chateau, you took us to today so beautiful. I do hope someone decides to save it from total ruin. Johnathan is so blessed that he has the opportunity to experience history before it is totally destroyed. I live in the southern part of the US and during the Civil War so many of our beautiful historical homes were burnt to the ground, the ones still standing are usually the ones where the officers resided when they were in that part of the countryside. God Bless you for being caretakers of your lovely Chateau for years to come. Kathy USA

I’ve never heard Jonathan talk so much! Adorable to see his excitement and will look forward to what his channel looks like. This chateau was a beauty in its day and very sad to see it’s current state. Hope the current sale negotiations go through and it can be brought back to its glory. Thanks for taking us through it - now get back to work! ✌🏼

Another channel that is absolutely worth watching is @OurFrenchChateau Amanda and Lincoln have been documenting the restoration of their Chateau in Brittany France for over 12 months and they only have a small following at present. I love their humour and honesty and would love for more people to get to know them too! As always keep up the great work guys and I can’t wait to see what Johnathon does with his new Chanel ☺️

Hi guys! So much fun to explore but sad to see all this history and beautiful craftsmanship go to ruin. What a great education for Johnathan and he already has a great eye and opinion on what he sees. Your family certainty are good mentors for him. Thankyou for taking us along for the ride.❤

I think this title is a nice one for Johnathan; .....The Chateau Kid..... Because I think he'll film around the chateau Delalacelle.When you see and learn in a young age it is often for youre lifetime. He saw today a terrible destruction but at home he sees the opposite,a reconstruction of a building.I think he learned a lot today,not only filming for his channel,but he learned you have to take care for youre house and garden.

Chateau de Montmagner is fabulous and their work ethic is amazing... very similar to you all here i.e. down to earth joyous grafters. 🥳💕🥰

What a beautiful chateau and chapel!!! It is SUCH A SHAME how people vandalize gorgeous old properties. 🤗❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🇨🇦🇫🇷

It was stunning 😍

I cry when I see the hard work of craftsmen and women destroyed. Imagine, when many of these abandoned chateau were built, there were no power tools, no motorized cars or trucks, and probably no electricity. Did they go mad trying to perfectly replicate piece after piece of paneling? The people who made these items of beauty did it to earn a very small living, but you can see in the red paint in the flowers in the chapel that there was also passion and a sense of beauty in what they created! What was it like when the owners moved in and the chateau was finished? The people who put blood, sweat, and long hours into creating it were likely full of pride for a job well done, even if they were never able to see inside the completely finished work. Imagine being able to walk past the hand chiseled corbels or a stone vaulted ceiling, pointing to them, and saying, "Your Grandad made that!" There just isn't the same satisfaction completing something with a 3-D printer or laser cutter. Best wished to Jonathan on his proposed channel! I look forward to seeing his creation. P.S. Thank you for the shout out to Chateau Montmagner. ❤Two people restoring one of the oldest structures with amazingly few views. Cute dogs, too!

Your choice of music was exquisite. It was a love song to the chateau; grieving with her and honoring her and hoping somehow for her.

What a pity that the Goldfinger was so trashed. thanks for showing it! I'd like to make a suggestion for a name for Jonathan's channel: "Jonathan's Outlook "

What possibilities! Imagining your family's magic renovation on this property...would be stunning! For Johnathan: The View from the Bottom Up or Bottoms Up or Ever Upward...:)

Thankyou so much boys for giving Chateau de Montmagna a shout out they are lovely genuine people working so hard to save there chateau.

Qu'elle tristesse de laisser mourir une si belle bâtisse, heureusement qu'il y a des gens comme vous qui savent redonner vie à ce patrimoine

FRESH TAKE ON THE PAST!!! PAST MEET THE PRESENT!!!! I 💜 to see FRESH perspective on past ways of living!

Hi guys ! Love your stories , enjoy watching you restoring your castle. Never wrote to you but today just wanted to say that I think the way you think: the character of an old building should be saved and live as it was designed AND meant to be. That´s the only way to do. I myself live in Sweden in a 800 sq m mansion that is 180 years old and the furniture and interiors coincide with that and I enjoy it ! I feel the history and the past as well as develop the building and adopt it to modern conveniences. I have a housekeeper on salary and a gardener . But I have a good job and can afford little extra. It is really some sort of a hobby to live and to restore this old beauty and to give it new life.

So sad to see these once beautiful Chateaus going to ruin. The room with the fabulous fireplace still had some beautiful features.

I felt like crying looking at the damage done to that Chateau. It’s so mindless why anybody would destroy it. Terry that was so sweet you asking if you could buy it just to save it. Yes that dining room was Magnificent it would have been so stunning. Thanks for the video ❤

I have totally fallen in love with this place just from your video.

I loved how you touched that beautiful wood and carvings with such understanding respect and honour to the original carpenters. The hall was breathtaking and the dining hall was just so grand! Thank you for a look into the past.

This is my dream chateau. I wish I could be the one to rescue it. There a shows that tour abandon buildings and I just can’t watch those channels. I’m glad Terry made sure someone is planning to looks after this one. I get so emotional seeing old buildings go to ruins.

I hope someone can restore this building. It’s magnificent.

Just imagine what that dilapidated Chateau must have looked like in it's heyday! The remnants which are still intact show just how decadent it was. Gorgeous stained glass windows, beautiful carved wood, even the old wallpaper was nice. Hopefully, someone will rescue this Chateau before any further damage to it occurs. Someone very ambitious! 😄👍

Thank you for exploring for the rest of us!! I hope this chateau gets someone who will bring it back to what it started as 🤞🎉

Soooooo, soooooo BEAUTIFUL!!! You ARE ANGELS OF THE RESTAURATION , THIS MAGNIFICENT Chateau brought tears tô my eyes. I can't hardly wait tô sem what you'll do here.

I love how you can see past the destruction and see what a jewel it is. Thank you for sharing this.

I really don't understand how these beautiful places can just be left. Leave me so depressed.

This is why your family and restoration is so special. You make every effort to save the original building with all its historical features and artistry. There are many stories in those old walls, and I am of the school that it is tragic to erase all that history. When you ran your hand over the carved wooden florets inside the abandoned chapel, we could imagine the hands of those who tirelessly and passionately worked to create a building of pure beauty and majesty.

Terry et Ash merci de nous montrer ces monuments magnifiques, malheureusement dévastés par du vandalisme et la cupidité. Félicitation à Jonathan! j'irais suivre ses aventures .Son regard sera certainement tout aussi enrichissant.

What a magnificent chateau. I hope there’s someone who will bring it back to its former glory without making it too modern. It’s too special to have it deteriorate any further. And so terribly despicable how people have been stripping it down and by doing so they remove its beautiful history. Jonathan is becoming an entrepreneur. I like “ the junior chatelaine”. Or something along those lines. xx

Imagining the glory of this chateau as it once stood. It must have been magnificent. It's always sad to see nature reclaim something so beautiful. Seeing Jonathan filming his own content put a smile on my face. Maybe a good name is "Jonathan's World of Wonderous Things" since I'm sure he will have a wide range of topics to post. I wish him the best for his new channel. ❤

Thank you for the adventure. Goldfinger Home is beautiful. I love these fun days out. Enjoyed seeing Jonathan having fun and learning from both of you.

Seeing the work of all those master craftspeople rotting away is heart wrenching. I'll be anxiously awaiting Jonathan's new channel!!

Oh, how sad, that before a beautiful home once was. That is one beautiful, massive living area, is so grand and amazing once in it's day.

Wow that is a wonderful place .so happy Jonathan is doing his own .thanks for sharing guys

It will be great to see his perspective at his age of his living at the chateau with the family and pets. Can’t wait🥰

I hope someone does buy it and restores it ! It was absolutely stunning at one time that room took my breath away ! Thank you for sharing it !

Like an epic romance story that ends in tragedy... I'm relieved to hear at least it's for sale now. But YAY to Jonathan starting his own channel. Please tell him that he's already got a subscriber (c'est moi) when he's ready. The next generation of youtube magic, sharing life as he sees it, who knows what direction it will take him in. The world is your oyster young man. 🥰 & YOUR KITCHEN!! Huge grins & a happy dance. Cheers!

Jonathan is learning so much from you guys! He gets solid life foundations at an early age. He will surely blossom in the future.

Oh I so wish you could purchase this chateau. How beautiful it would be. I’m sure there will be another one for you. I thought perhaps “Through Jonathan’s Eyes” might be a nice name. Whatever you all decide I’m sure it will be wonderful to watch. Good luck Jonathan!
