The French Government (and French nation) should be extremely grateful that Timothy restored this chateau with such care, taste and refinement…thereby honouring its heritage. What a visual treat. The words that spring to mind are: exquisite, sublime, incomparable. Viewing this You Tube clip from afar (Australia) has truly made my day.

It's incredibly overwhelming & with its sheer size seems you'd feel all the more lonely thus desiring a shared experience. Truly, what good is this place if not shared? Spread the love. Now I just want to know wth kind of design he's been doing to afford this massive project & the current upkeep!

Unfortunately, if he made this glorious masterpiece available to the public in any form, the place would be run down again. Only houseguests he personally invites would keep the place pristine.
