Clearing out the CHATEAU MOAT and an AMAZING 19th Century DISCOVERY - Journey to the Château, Ep. 93
In this week's episode, Patrick and Stuart welcome friends and patrons Martin and Margaret back to the chateau. Martin volunteers to take on the chateau moat by clearing it all out and discovering what secrets it may be hiding. Patrick finds an old copper printing plate buried in the garden of the chateau gîte, and Stuart and Margaret get out the printmaking supplies to make relief art prints from this original 19th century engraving by French engraver and illustrator Charles Barbant. They also make a shopping trip to a local Emmaus, and Patrick and Stuart find and return some local dogs that had gone missing.
Join Patrick and Stuart on their journey to find a neglected, forgotten, or crumbling château or castle in France, and then continue to follow them as they work on its restoration, rénovation, decoration, and furnishing. Along the way, they will also create and share videos on their preparation for having gîtes for guests, and an event venue in their chateau (wedding, birthday, anniversary, organization or club meetings, retreats, etc.).

Dogs at the gate. I can’t even…. Simply adorable. Moat looks amazing and the print, what a find!
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, what a most pleasant video. So much happened!! First and foremost the discovery of the antique printing plate. I was astonished. Good grief what a find. Margaret seems to be a wonderful person as well. Preparing the printing press and just enough ink to show the exquisite Paris Opera House. What more do you want?? Martin did a grand job in clearing the moat, unbelievable how grasses can take over. All the dogs standing up looking through the gate was priceless. They sure like to keep an eye on developments at the Chateaux. Finding the stray dogs and getting them inside was a miracle. Just as well the owner drove around making enquiries otherwise you would not have been any the wiser. Good job, well done and got them back to the much relieved owner. It seemed you had little time for touch down but all in all the discovery of the plate print was unique and awesome. That can become a piece for exhibition somewhere, maybe the grand salon where it will get the attention it deserves with a hanging portrait of the same print. Things sure are happening at a fast rate now. Take care, many blessings, kind regards. E

OMG I love the doggies peaking out behind the fence..they are adorable.
Dear Patrick and Stuart, Martin made the circular moat absolutely stunning. The stone walls are shockingly completely intact. Your babies peaking through the gate is the cutest thing I ever saw. Many years ago I did etchings on zinc plates, using acid baths to etch into the plate. I loved the process but it became difficult when I no longer had the huge roll printer, but I see Margaret’s portable one does the trick beautifully. What a beautiful print. It’s really a treasure to have found the plate the way you did, and end up with a beautiful old work of art. I felt your joy for being able to return the dogs to their owner. It is emotional. By the way, the farmhouse kitchen is beautiful. You have made it the prettiest guest house. See you on Friday. Stay well. xx

Omg how wonderful the dogs came to you! What an amazing feeling to be able to help your locals and return that lady's beloved dogs, I too know how gutting it is when your dog is lost, honestly wow! And boy isn't it lovely to see that moat cleaned up!? 😍 If you can get help to repair what needs to be done so you can fill it up with water for summer that will be beautiful but most of all really handy for wildlife, pollinators, and extra irrigation in case of a dry spell, like it's great to have an outlet for overflow when you get these torrential rains! It really makes the place look very well looked after too. Your garden blooms are beyond stunning!!! The size of those roses abd Iris.... And all of them pupps in a row 😍 I'm so jealous of that printing press, ooh been wanting one for ages, but they're so expensive... Fantastic find "in the bush" I mean, what are the odds of that?! Brilliant to be able to make prints! That's a piece of art with a good story for sure! Get a nice gold frame at brocante and have it framed with a colored passe-partout and it will pop on any wall (or several guestrooms for example, you can match the colored paper to the room scheme and include the info in your rooms pamflet of information, B&B guests love that sortof thing!) I'm still ripping down wallpaper on my own, with busted hands, much more work than I expected but the light pouring in for every panel of the dingy dark grey taken down is glorious and keeps me going! 💪 Loved tidays vlog guys, good luck with your guests now, see you soon!

Oh my the picture of all the dogs at the gate watching Martin work was beautiful! I hope you also got a photograph of it. Martin made a beautiful job of the moat. Will you be able to maintain it with everything else you have on the go? That print is spectacular. Well done with the production Stuart. That was wonderful that you were able to keep the dogs until their owner could collect them. Having a beloved pet going missing is heartbreaking. I couldn’t stand it. So looking forward to seeing the latest renovations. Having a home that you love and enjoy is so very important. Have been through major renovations for a fairly large home in the past, but now in a small rental, which I love, and the decor and comfort is every bit as important to me. Home is home wherever you’re at peace and happy. ❤
It’s probably all been said before but what a week! Cutest line up of pups I’ve ever seen, gorgeous healthy looking roses, a friend indeed (or two) doing a magnificent job of clearing the awesome ancient moat and assisting printing a fantastic historic plate, rehoming two lost pets and getting great Air B&B results!!

Of course I am biased but it is lovely. 😊 I believe we got the chance to return dogs for the second time because of our Karma and our love for animals. ❤❤❤. There are a few small things for the gîte that we will do next week but we are 99% done. Yay. The dogs looking through the gate is so precious. What a joy. Glad you have good weather. We had such storms and a lot of rain, cold nights but now…. better weather is coming. ❤😊❤😊❤

@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Patrick I'am sending a new package on Friday with yummies and goodies. Inside you'll find personal details so we can communicate what the best period is to visit. 🌹🙏😘🥰
The order of your projects of renovation is practical for your home and business. Your puppies looking out of the gate was adorable 😍 💕! They are so curious. They're not going to miss a thing that is happening! You have a lovely family and home. The chateau is beautiful .
Your moat looks wonderful. What a nice man to do all that work.
Hi Patrick and Stewart 🙌. What an amazing find. This will now be something you add to your renovation. As is now part of your find and history you both create. 400 years! And then make a find like that that has no place in your place. But! Maybe it did. Wonderful work to start removing the brambles and leaf fall. A bridge with gates always said a moat. You’ll probably find some sink holes either side as it’s still done today. With the dogs! What goes around comes around ❤️ Love you both! 🫶
Love the moat work! Doggies peeking through gate were adorable. I would not have appreciated the plate as much had I not just returned from seeing the Palais Garnier....even with the facade repair work covering it, it was fabulous in person.
Karma repaid! Another happy ending... dogs reunited with their family. Your own pups lined up at the gate are precious. The etching was a marvelous find, Patrick, and you made some wonderful prints, Stuart. You should try other color inks for fun... even a blue/white/red to match the French flag. That dry moat looks great. You couldn't see it before.

You had a big help on Martin and Margaret. The print you didn't show us in a close detail,perhaps with a reason, but as far I could see it,it was nice. Martin worked very hard on the moat. I like the happy ending for the dogs.

Hello you two. Enjoy the gorgeous blossoms. How Devine. Love and hugs from Colombe. ❤
Just want to say how much I enjoy your vlog. Finding that printing plate is simply amazing. I had a little tear at the finding of the dogs. Thank you for your lovely channel. No need to justify your priorities, I am always astounded at the audacity of people to criticize others. Would that I had the courage to undertake what you two have chosen to do!
way to go Martin! Fabulous!
Love the artwork from the printing project. What an incredible find ❤and result. Such a kindness to have your dry moat cleaned out. It’s well deserved. Love all your dogs at the gate. Such an adorable picture 😍😍😍😍😍
Omg! That moat clearing music! Perfect!
