France and England are of the few countries that have artisans who can restore ancient buildings. They are indeed a very breed in this modern age. So, I think for them it must be an awesome experience and challenge, when they get the opportunity to work on a restoration project. Love from South Africa 8:45

Thanks for your comment and your interest in our project. You make a very important observation about the availability of the artisans and tradespeople who can work on buildings of this age and complexity. We hope that our project can help play a small part in supporting the retention of these skills. We also hope that our videos, which so often include interviews with the artisans themselves as well as showing their incredible skills up close will help keep interest in these trades alive.

The work these men have done on the roof is outstanding! Amazing! I just love the artisans of the world who truly have wonderful talents and make the world a better and more beautiful place ❤

Have to love a Country that values its artisans. Bravo.

Congratulations and compliments. Among hundreds of videos about this topic on this platform, one of the few “true restorations”. Admirable, respectful, passionate and educated approach to every single aspect. Beautiful results. Bravi!

Thank you so much for responding, such a shame it hasn’t been released- here’s hoping it does soon, keep up the brilliant work, cheers from Brisbane. 🏰

It's wonderful to see how proud the artisans are of their work. They appear to be such lovely, genuine people. We can imagine they will be sad to leave this project. It must be an incredible experience for them as well. BW. M&R

Another big mark in the history of Purnon. Magnificent

Outstanding

WOWWW! Well done!!

What a wonderful Christmas present! Congratulations to you and big thanks to the amazing artisans. Are they going to add their names to the stonework? They deserve their mark in its history. Another question, do you need to put mesh guards up against birds? I hope you all have a good break over the holidays, you deserve it.

👍gratulations! And thanks for the beautiful music! 😊

Thanks for the update! It looks so much better! Your video was a little confusing because you mixed in some video from the earlier (1st stage) of the roof restoration.

It’s wonderful to see the chateau returning to its former glory, but please who is singing that beautiful song at 2.13 and during the credits?

Thank you! The song is called 'Wild Love' but it's not a song that has been released so we don't know the artist.

How does rain not go down the chimneys?

Bon Felicity, maintenant que ton français décolle pour de bon, je te parle comme une française si ça te va? ça fait comment d'être témoin d'œuvres des compagnons du devoir? dés que le toit et les ornements seront fini, ça va vous faire un bien immense d'être enfin au sec, les choses devraient vraiment à ce moment là devenir plus facile pour les travaux d'intérieur, la dépose des têtes et des mitres de cheminées représentent un moment important, joyeux noël et meilleurs vœux pour 2024 à vous!

That's that for the chimney pots, when do they start the chamber pots????

So all the fireplaces will work?

Yes! Several require a good clean but they are all functional structurally.
