Not a castle, but my family has kept the house I grew up in for around 800 years now. The oldest family document mentionning us being in that village dates back to 1247, it’s a legal document stating that my ancestor had the right to have his animals graze on the monastery’s lands. The monastery still remains, not far from the house, Saint Nicolas de Campagnac, in Sainte Anasthasie du Gard, France.

As someone learning French she speaks in such a wonderful way that allows me to actually follow a good proportion of what she is saying! Makes it all the more engaging. Brilliant storyteller!

I agree as well, her enunciation is perfect for newer French students.

She does a remarkable job of showing and explaining the castle. Lots of history without getting dry and bogged down in details. I got a nice sense of the history of the castle and the family through time.

Astonishing castle! I wish the best for the lady and her family! There's one mistake I noticed in the subtitles though. The word donjon in french means The primary fortified tower of a castle but in english the word dungeon means prison or underground tunnels so the subtitles should translate donjon to tower or keep. Also just to inform anyone who stumbles upon this comment, this castle has undergone renovations which eliminates most the castle's defensive aspects.

You can still see some of the vestiges of the castle's fortified past in some of the exterior drone shots, such as 0:55.

Agree and I have made the same comment, it can cause quite the misunderstanding as these two words clearly imply something almost antagonistic in terms or purpose, one is used for living and defense at high level, the other to imprison someone underground.

A tour by a most gracious hostess of a beautiful old château.

So very special all the families together. That letter made me cry. Very precious.

It is indeed spectacular! Thank you for sharing this fascinating history of this beautiful chateau.

Thank you Madame. This is an exquisite chateau. The history is preserved beautifully. Such beauty and history....such a treat to have seen it! I am from Louisiana and truly enjoyed this tour.

This castle is absolutely beautiful, the history, is incredible. Thank you for sharing.

So lovely to hear a native French speaker! This channel will help me learn the language!😘

What a beautiful tour and what a pleasing soft-spoken lady. The chateau is so full of history! I would love to visit it.

Magnifique visite, merci Madame.

Thank you so much for a wonderful tour of such a beautiful castle. The inside with all the furnishings is just stunning. The ceilings, tapestries, and fireplaces are amazing.

I've wanted to visit France my whole life --over 40 years now! I'm on Disability now --I can still go if I had the money, but time is running out with my health and all. I have to rely on kind folks like you for these videos and the owner of that castle for giving us a tour. If she ever reads this, thank you, merci. You are very blessed!

Please come and see, even only by yourself, even with disability, you will find a way. Life is too short and has to be enjoyed. Fulfill your dreams and, if you arrive right on time, you might even witness our next revolution. It is not going too bad so far.

The Letter was beautiful! What a great inspiration and call to arms for future generations. I could see spending an afternoon reading the letters would really rally the spirit!!

It was amazing to see someone from the family talk and take you around. I always like to see the descendants of these families.

Merci Madame Miramon.

I don't speak French but studied for four yrs in high school and saw many French films and tv shows. She has the loveliest voice and most intriguing and cultured French accent that I've heard. Une femme formidable! Edit:. And there's nothing pretentious about the way she speaks.

amazing restoration. I can only imagine all the damages that were the baseline , and the amount of work invested to this date. REMARKABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I truly appreciate this lovely woman sharing her home with us. Who could put a price on such an historical structure?

Wow!! This château and its contents and history is exquisite!! Simply lovely. The château owner is so informative.

How very wonderful, same family • A true home.

Thank you for the tour! Fascinating place. Just one thing.... it's not a dungeon, but a donjon. In English it would be called a castle keep for times of war as the chatelaine explained so well.

This was a lovely tour and the lady Yvonne has a lovely voice, which I enjoyed while reading the captions. Thank you and your family for sharing your history in this amazing place.

С первых кадров не смогла оторваться от просмотра. Я не знаю французский язык. Но я всё поняла глядя на экскурсовода. Дом великолепен! Очаровывает каминами, сводчатыми потолками, фресками, гербами, нишами, лестницами. Удивила компактность комнат, как они умещались, например, в маленькой молельной комнате? Стулья не большие совсем. Стало интересно где же дамы хранили свои наряды? Очень понравился кабинет. Счастье, что история смогла храниться до наших дней.

Beautiful and lovingly shared vision and atmosphere of this ancient place invoking thoughts of bygone days with grace by the present Chatelaine

It’s amazing 400 years these people stayed put! So cool!!!

Just wow, just an amazing architecture even at the start of the video.

Merci madame d'avoir vu ces châteaux. Tous les palais de France sont très beaux et merveilleux. Malgré cela, j'ai vécu en France pendant 16 ans dans la banlieue parisienne, et maintenant nous sommes en Australie. Mais j'aime toujours voir tout ce qui concerne la France et le comprendre. Je sais qu'il est traduit en anglais. Je peux le lire, mais je comprends le français à quel point Nous sommes en Australie depuis 18 ans, mais j'aime les Français et je les considère comme mon pays. Mes enfants, qui sont nés à Paris, sont vraiment très merveilleux, et je vous en remercie.❤❤❤❤❤

Endroit charmant. Belle vidéo. J'aime bien...☺️☺️☺️

That painting of a young lady in a white lacy dress with pink roses is amazing and haunting. Beautiful.

Очень приятная мадам экскурсовод)) французский не знаю, но досмотрела до конца)

Absolutely beautiful home and presentation. It's so great to be able to experience a little bit of history and see their beautiful home. I loved the stained glass windows and all the magnificent tapestries! Thank you both for the wonderful tour!

Stunning and simply amazing piece of History. I don't understand why other rich families they don't cultivate such a beautiful castles and do not preserve all that history... Is just you will go back in Time.... WHY THERE IS ONLY FEW LIKE THAT...? HANDS DOWN TO THIS FAMILY AMAZING!

Wonderful chateau and you are to be commended on the entry way. Beautifully done and so fitting! Good health to you all!

Beautiful house. And lived in, not a museum. Great channel!

Wow so beautiful amazing ancient things, architectures and castle.Its really memorable from the past Merci Madam

😍Absoutely fantastic!! Thank you!!💕💕

It is easy to learn French from this Lady because she speaks so clearly and elegantly

Наверное, замок был построен раньше 1608 года. В 1608 году, он был передан семейству Мирамон? В замке висят гобелены, где люди изображены в одеждах начала XVI века. Интересное видео! Аристократичная женщина. Спасибо! 💐💐💐

Cette dame est d'une classe absolue.

Thank you. That was a beautiful tour.🇬🇧

For the subs - a donjon isn't a dungeon but a keep. Basically a tower instead of a cellar. Makes a difference. Otherwise, love the video and the castle.

Thank you. Very beautiful.

Thankyou so much for a wonderful interesting tour. So much history attached to chateau and families.

Very Nice, Thank you.

Quel splendide château à l'histoire si riche. Merci Madame pour cette belle visite. La France est sans aucun doute l'un des plus beaux pays du monde. Vous, Français, devez impérativement protéger votre magnifique héritage contre l'envahisseur moderne qui le regarde d'un œil envieux. La lettre de Gabriel de Miramon m'a beaucoup touché. Vous êtes la France, pas l'Afrance, gardez toujours bien cela en tête. Rendez fiers vos aïeux et faites en sorte qu'ils ne se soient pas battus, n'aient pas souffert ni bâti tout cela pour rien.

Magnifique!

Боже, какой красивый замок! Интерьер !❤❤❤

Величественно и уютно одновременно… чувствуется вкус в деталях…Ощущения магии. Браво. Долгих лет.
