There are 45,000 castles in France, unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to renovate and maintain such a large number of properties. Thank you so much for coming to France to help us preserve this heritage.

What a wonderfully unselfish attitude, not to rush things through for instant gratification but to take a purely historic approach. Such a worthwhile project, Well done

I know how much it costs to save a minor chateau. This is a national treasure chateau! Big difference! Many were big plantation houses, French style with farms that supported them. Then there are chateaus like yours. Ultra rich people’s homes. I would never attempted such a project as I have close friends who divorced over way smaller Reno’s. I hope through the government and grants you will get the money you need, over time, off course to save this “Real” chateau. I admire you being able to break it into smaller bites. That in itself is a talent! I won’t live long enough I’m afraid to see it finished. But I wish you all the very best!

Would love to stay near the estate in glamping tent and support you guys financially through. Also guests in these glamping tents could perhaps somehow volunteer their time of their stay do something helpful in the premises (that does not perhaps require high levels of expertise, but requires hands/time)

Just a suggestion but when you handle the fabrics you should wear cotton gloves. This will keep the acids from your skin deteriorating the material.

The garment ... emotional 🤍 ... as are the letters. Imagine a global effort to restore our collective past - these precious buildings and ruins. Transformation and healing comes of it. Such a different pathway to politics (I had to say it - Australian here - however moving to Europe too). Your story here, accentuated by your beautiful choice of music, is so touching. Yes your lives are the restoration - ongoing - and I would too. The idea of passing on is comforting - to family, community and France. A legacy. I hope to secure two properties in Slovenia that will need restoration. I watch you, and others, with much respect. Of course I look forward to visiting in the not too distant future.

It appears that most of the historic buildings are being restored by people who are not French, which is a little bizarre but might be because they realise that their time has passed and they are just money pits to both restore and run in the long term. It is also peculiar that so much "State" money can be spent on an historical property for two people to inhabit, I realise that examples of these should remain but maybe the ones in better condition, however as this is being done in keeping with its original intent it will be a worthwhile addition and the present owners seem pleased they can drive it down that route, and it is stressful and hard work. On other KZread channels they have elected to pay for the repairs themselves so as not to have to follow the strict codes if you have a grant, whilst some compromises have been taken, generally the houses have been made fit to face a better future in the long term, but not with all its original features restored. In conclusion I would have knocked it down and built a present day "village" in a traditional "rural" style around the area of the chateau and it's outbuildings, say about 100 houses which could house 200 people and charged a monthly cost for upkeep of the surrounding land which would remain as land, for no cost to the tax payer, but I applaud the endeavour of the two people who are carrying out the restoration rather than leave it fall into disrepair further which is the greatest tradegy, and I suppose I am a bit of a Philistine and I'm not French!??

You two are very well spoken hosts and seem like the perfect caretakers of such incredibly beautiful property.

As a fashion historian i was thrilled to see the fragile garment you found in the fabric room and evem though i didn´t see it first hand i can already tell how old it is :D the shape of the sleeves, the waist form and the long down dropping shoulder line indicate that it was made between 1840 - 1860. worn over a bell shaped gown with a full skirt over several layers of starched petticoats if not a crinoline hoop skirt (but these came late in 1856 - 1869ish) ... the lady might have combined it with a spoon bonnet and a silk parasol. if you google ladies fashion of the time I´m sure you will come across some fabulous fashion plates in which you can find similar garments. (here is a thought: take it to a tailor and ask to make a copy of the pattern - tailors can craft you a wearable replica for display or special occasions 🤩)

Yes! Late 1860s, I think. It looks like a bodice and over-skirt which would have had a coordinating underskirt worn over a crinoline and/or early bustle. I collect 1850s-1860s clothing, so this was especially exciting to see!

Hopefully when the roof is fixed everything will go quicker

You should have the suitable oak trees logged and rough cut for the future use. It will take a couple years for them to season (air dry) so they can be used in the restorations to come. Stone walls can be restored enough to keep them from failing. Many many holes in the dice that need fingers to stop the leaks I'm sure. I admire your commitment and support you.

Outstanding presentation on the connection between Château de Purnon and FOUR wars of the 19th and 20th centuries! You covered four wars! I especially appreciated your digging into the First World War. Many people would have stopped their research with, "The front was hundreds of miles away, so no impact," but Tim dug deep and learned about the military service of the son of the Marquis. The story about the war in Indochina was fascinating and eloquently described, the German newspapers from the summer of 1940 were extremely cool, and the story about the court martial of the soldier from the Franco-Prussian War will delight visitors to the Château for decades to come! Thank you for this information.

The outbuildings could be renovated first and turned in guest cottages that people could rent for the weekend, thus generating some income for the renovation of the main house. The remnants of wallpaper and fabric could be also a source of revenue, their designs could be licensed and reproductions could be manufactured and sold under the license agreement to designers or directly to the public.

We own about 23 hectares(which is everything inside the original stone walls of the chateau domain. As well as over a dozen buildings, that land includes prairies which a local farmer bales for hay and lucerne and extensive woods with an English park. The sunflowers that you could see are part of crops sown outside the chateau walls in neighbouring agricultural fields where they rotate crops - canola/rapeseed, wheat, corn (maize), sunflowers etc. We're thrilled you loved the wall papers. The Farrow & Ball team has done an amazing job of reawakening the motifs uncovered at the Chateau. Thanks for your message.

Fantastic building and setting. The red tree is amazing. Heating, geothermal linked to oversized cast iron rads? Use the land or boreholes. Wood pellet boilers. Supplemented by wood burning stoves.

@@kimberlyearly8918 I have not watched any of the other videos so I am not sure. I have a place that I am restoring and sometimes a good portion of a place might not be up to snuff but good enough to live in. It maybe actually better than what other are accustom too. As long as it doesn't have black mold, rats, and bees nests you might overlook a crack in some window glass or doors that don't close. Chateau de Purnon is so beautiful that I could put up with a great deal of dust just to spend a couple nights there. The stories they will have over the next 15 years will be worth putting up with the faded wallpaper and cracked plaster. I'm in the process of restoring a much smaller house for sure. When I remodeled my kitchen I used a hot plate, microwave, and a toaster oven. The most important room is a bathroom. As long as you got hot water and the tub, sink and toilet are not gross it is not a big deal. An old ball claw iron tube is nice, and a funky old sink is fine as long as you don't have separate down spots in the sink.
