Does Philipp come with life insurance? That should have been part of the marriage vows.

What a beautiful well. Imagine the effort it took to build it. Those holes in the wall were probably used for beams for flooring to build the walls as they went down.

I'm saying lamps, but I agree. They would have needed sturdy beams to heave dirt up and bring stone down. Maybe they had duel purpose.

Yes the holes are called trou de boulin in french, they were used for scaffolding

Thank you so much to bring this information.

You can calculate distance by timing the stone’s fall. Distance = 1/2 (acceleration)* time 2(squared). Acceleration = 9.8 metres per second. So if it took say 3.3 seconds to fall, that’s 9.8*3.3*3.3/2=53.36 metres.

Crap, now I'm trying to remember the Order of Operations I learned 1/2 a Century ago.

That initial part, where it's extremely tight, and Philipp squeezes in, was freaking scary, especially when you're a claustrophobic person, like I am! Extremely cool that you guys are sharing this with your viewers! It's like watching a (scary) movie, sitting on the edge of the sofa...

Apparently, I’m so claustrophobic, that just watching others in tight places makes me short of breath.

You need to be really careful with these things, like old closed off wells or even old basements. Due to the lack of fresh air coming in, the concentration of harmful elements (even radioactive stuff) and gasses are high, making you losing unconscious and die. Dozens of people die every year due to that, additionally people tried to rescue the unconscious person and also losing unconscious... That's one of the first things we learned in chemistry at university! Airing out the "room" first, wearing a mask and always having people around is important!

There are caves in St. Paul, Minnesota near the Mississippi River on the upper banks opposite the city... they're called the Wabasha Street Caves where famous robbers hid in and where a nightclub was built where they still play American Swing/Band music... kids go too deep into them almost every year... and never make it out... for lack of oxygen.

Yes. Watching this made me very nervous. There was a little girl Suzanne Gill, in San Marino CA, that fell into an abandoned well, running across a field in the 1950's (that area is now part of the high school). One can Google the story. They tried and tried to get her out. They couldn't get to her in time. It was the first "Live" Broadcast by KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles. I still remember this, so sad :(

3 people in Bastrop , Texas just died that way. One fell in and the other two went in after them, all died from the poisonous gases.

Philip reminds me so much of my dad. He would also tell the most outlandish things and people were always fascinated. All in good faith but he did get a kick out of it. He was the BEST. We always went on adventures, he was up for every mischief and had a wicked humor. I'm sure their children will say the same later in life and they will be grateful for growing up in such an eclectic,, loving, and creative environment.

Wow, another great one! Squarespace should pay you double for the heaven scene! And your relatonship with Benoit is the best! Also, it was sooo nice of that guy to set up that whole thing for you. He seems like a terrific person with a lovely family!!

I'm not a fan of spiders, so I was avoiding watching it because I was sure there would be some down the well....I was right 😨😱 Great video other than that bit haha!

That well is SO well built! Amazing to see, what an effort is must have been to build it!

I was a little sad you weren’t able to go all the way down, but I glad you stayed safe! I would have had no idea about the hazards of the bad air, so good thing you had a knowledgeable team to help you 😅

Love that adventure-and your daughter was the 1st to volunteer for the adventure!

I’m amazed at the quality of the stonework. That’s incredible. Kudos to Phillip for taking on this explore.

I laughed out loud when Phillip went to heaven. Well done! 😂🤗🇨🇦

Terrifying!!! You would never catch me going down a long, dark hole!! OMG!!! Holding my breath as you descend and ascend. Very brave Philip!! So happy you have an expert to help . Very lovely people. So good to see Benoit and his helper, good job he did to secure your safety.

Can you imagine building that without modern methods? Even scarier than your descent, and that was something! ❤

Amazing! Somebody with the same sense of humor as Philip and Benoit! 😂

just love these two , they make everything so interesting ,and make you laugh at the same time

You guys never cease to deliver. Great video! The cut to black and the splash was brilliant. I truly admire the talent and skills you used in the sponsor bit for Square space. The writing was entertaing and clever and the CG was amazing as well.

The videography and editing made this even more exciting. Of course, the addition of a few professionals who can actually measure something always helps. 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the humour gentlemen.

Phillip, you are priceless. I loved the last part with the advertising for the website company. Merci for another great week with you and your family.

It must be great to finally view the well and confirm what is down there and how it was made. Knowledge is good👋

Phillipe is truly brave!

The pottery piece, the brick wall turning into a stone wall and the stalactite were amazing finds! This was so cool and we also had a Benoit sighting! Thanks for sharing!

The conversation while waiting to enter heaven…so silly! And funny, great ad. I loved how Benoit made an appearance to ensure Phillip’s safety.

How on earth did they manage to dig such a deep well without modern tools? Really amazing! This video was really interesting and I would like to see the bottom of the well as well. Maybe with a go pro camera?

The humor in this vid is superb! Same with the suspense and use of music, bravo! Enjoyed every minute of this vlog, keep it up guys. This was soooooo cool to see! That well shows some incredible craftsmanship...

I have heard there is only oxygen about the first 5-10 feet of a well, then there might not be oxygen further down which is why wells are especially dangerous. The oxygen was used by organic processes down there. An oxygen meter is a must!

Hello from PEI Canada. You have a new sidekick.

We were always amazed at the depth ouf our well next to our normandy home, but yours is a masterpiece of wellbuilding. Absolutely amazing

What a great adventure going down the old well. I know Anna was happy you made it back to the top without any problems. Best wishes, Kathy USA 🇺🇸

The SquareSpace ad was brilliant!!!! Another fantastic episode!!!!!

Omg……I had such anxiety watching you hanging in the well ! What a crazy adventure! It’s hard to imagine someone building that in the 14th century? Watching from Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦🌸

I never thought a video about climbing down a well would include Bernoid. But I guess Philipp is just in deep love.

Quite a feat, I must say. Beautiful construction. And, as I saw the SLO plates pull up, I felt proud. We're a tiny but mighty country. Way to go all around! Well done--that's a back atcha for the spider joke. That one had me laughing.

This one made me sweat! I really hate small, dark spaces, but thrilling to watch your adventure, all the same and see another detail of the chateau.

So wise to keep that thing really well locked!

It was terrifying! Also was Phillip wearing his best jeans? And Anna, what pills did you take??? You were sooo calm! Howww?! 😮😅

Thank you for delightfully entertainmenting video. The fake deop onto the water rolling onto the squarespace advert was too funny.

Bravo Philipp! So good to see Benoit!

Oh my gosh, cracking up with Benoit greeting you as you ascended the well. Love the splash and the heavenly detour. Very fun and clever. The well is beautiful. Great family giving you the help and their expertise for you to have this experience. xx

That was amazing, well done Phillip and friends!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I wonder if the nooks in the walls of the shaft held support boards so the masons could do a section at a time?? Fascinating!!!! 🎉

Very good to see Benoit 🥰🥰

I laughed out loud when your "fall" into the well turned into an ad for Squarespace!

It is said that a good way to check for dangerous gases at the bottom of a deep well is to first lower in it a bucket with a burning candle. If the candle goes out, it means that at the bottom there is no oxygen.

@Ragnar8504

Or hold the candle well below your head as you go down. If it starts flickering you're still far enough above the danger to get back out again.

What amazing engineering. What amazing stone work . They were certainly pioneers in building.Well done Phillip for showing us.

You are very brave Philip .

Amazing. What bravery. My BP was sky-high!

Wooo, i would put this piece of souvenir in some nice welvet and covered with grass top. Could be a nice (museum) piece in the Chateau. 😊 Crazy

17:55 Phillip you’re very brave! Pretty spooky down there as you said!

Okay, that was a bit terrifying and I loved it! You deserve every penny you make from this channel. So great.

I do love Philipps sense of humour - so droll. Priceless!!

In the middle of a really tense and frankly scary video, you give us the most hilarious sponsor's message in the history of KZread. I'm never going near a well, ever again, but it was well worth watching... (sorry!)

That is the best segue to a sponsor ad on KZread I've ever seen. Very clever. I hope you can find someone to tell you more about the pottery you found!
