The first priority should be protecting your new chateau from water damage. I would restore the windows & broken glass in the Knight's Rm to protect the wall & floor from further damage. ❤️🙏

And the roof, too, if it needs repairs!

I don't know if anyone else is having the same issue but I'm having to turn the volume up when you are talking as I can hardly hear what your saying and then turn it back down when the loud music comes on. Do you use microphones? I would love to watch this with less music but other than this it's an interesting vlog. X

I believe your gargoyles are actually mystic dragons of protection. This is my favourite Chateau in France.

Terry and Ash at Chateau LaLacelle use a product made by Gilboys and a power brush to polish their furniture. It gives it a sheen as well as moisturizing the wood. Those chairs around the table looked like that would be just the thing for them. Maybe open the shutters to allow more light in.😊

Yes and it does a beautiful job on their wood furniture!

Too many beautiful details to even mention them all! That's why I love this place. ❤

You have found an amazing time capsule. I can't wait for the chapel to be restored.

Watching the video again and this Chateau has a ton on History behind it . Looking at a person that would really want to come and stay there , keeping the French look throught out should be a must , including the visitors rooms but yes they do need doing up . But on the side untouched Donna is right clean it make it look respectable even the old library u could clean it , and maybe be a neat room for guests to just read in there . All the old antique furniture needs a good wax being a Antique dealer and collector dusting and waxing is best for antique furniture. Its amazing place gorgeous stunning setting u are both so very lucky . I bet that Chapel has some hidden secrets too but shame they changed it but in time u may get it back to being a Chapel theres a lot hidden up upper that new ceiling . Thank u for the tour cant wait to see more rooms untouched. ❤❤

Enjoyed having a slow tour of a handful of rooms to be able to appreciate the many details. And what a trove of original features that all add up to such a wonderful and unique property: floors, stained glass windows, millwork, fireplaces, chandeliers... Something intriguing wherever one looks! And so much furniture and decorative objects. Even if they aren't all to your taste, many are useful (places to sit! And rest a glass of wine!) Imagine the time, effort and money needed to furnish a place this size on top of your "1 million and 50" other tasks of cleaning, updating and restoring! The thought boggles the mind. So much to do and yet also an enormous head start.

Just love the end part with Denise and Bret doing the mirror thingy . Bret u can move the Aussie to France but u can not take the Aussie nature out of a Australian good on u mate . 😃😉

May the Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟shine down upon you both as you honour the history and restore this exquisite Chateau sharing your Legacy🌟

This may sound strange, but I cried. It’s just Beautiful. All that history, the quality is so fine. It’s unimaginable to see what happened to the chapel, but thankful you are going to make it right. That library, wow, it will be amazing. A lot of work to put it lightly, but what an adventure. Maybe a little one in the future i think 💕

It really must be a little overwhelming to walk into this history and know that you are now the caretakers and restorers of this amazing place!!! It would be interesting to know a little history of the previous caretakers, as you learn and uncover things! It would be daunting knowing just the level of cleaning that needs to be done......the first start to preserving and maintaining this beautiful chateau!!😱🥂🇨🇦

Wonderful new chateau vid. New favourite, especially because of an Aussie owner. You two have a lovely manner and I think you’ve done a terrific job hiring a professional videographer. The place is tres ’bonzer’. The historical rooms are crying out for living energy. It is essential that you preserve the significance of the Knight’s room and the library, of course, but you would honour them if they were cleaned by professionals and then used by you and your family. Not guests but those who will be building on its ‘story’. You will one day be it’s history don’t forget and for it to be nothing but a museum is somehow sad. I can see that table waxed and the chairs shining and candlelight bringing out the lustre of the fire surround and mantle, people laughing, eating and toasting to its beauty and to life and human artistry. Looking forward to seeing your next one and p.s. ….. get some more dogs, maybe a wolfhound or two.😊

I know you will be good caretakers of the chateau and restore things delicately and properly. She is lucky you’ve purchased her and will keep as much of her original features as possible (while still running a business and updating to current standards for your guests). Can’t wait to watch.

How exciting !! Can't wait to watch your progress.

You had me at Hello! The Chateau is full of exquisite details. It’s breathtaking, stunning, historical and Devine. All the things. It’s the most beautiful Chateau across KZread. Welcome Home.

You have found a treasure and bought it! Bravo! I am so happy for you and will continue to watch how you will preserve and keep this beautiful treasure. Marvellous. Thank you for letting us be part of your adventure❤️🙏

Hi, your chateau is amazing! I'd give the Knights room a dust and clean as even that can eat away at stuff! When you're ready to do restoration, Stephanie Jarvis at Chateau Lalande (YT chateau diaries) is restoring her chapel and I have to say the craftspeople are amazing! I'd deffo contact her for the name of the company. It's fascinating what they've found- silver fleur de lys on the columns and even a hypercaust (which they'll look to use for ventilation). Massively €€€ - at least €400 000 😮 but personally, I think so worth it. The murano chandelier, Stephanie and Phillip saw one in Belgium, priced at €8000 😊 Do you have a wood store? Thats a priority for heating next winter as it takes quite a while for the wood to season. Your land, if you want to grow veggies, you need to make it deer and boar proof. Just to add to the million other things...... prioritise, and short, medium and long planning 🙂

Loved the video, guys! It comes through quite clearly just how much the chateau already means to you and how it important it will be to be good stewards of such a treasure. These places deserve to have people like yourself that have an appreciation for the history and the criticality of keeping them intact for future generations!

This property is so big, we have only seen a fraction yet. Fantastic. I also really like your approach with the old knight‘s room - leaving it as is until you have the expertise and funds to give it your full reno attention. - The old library is my favourite so far, possibly because it is less ornate than the other rooms but no less elegant.

Amazing❤❤❤. New discoveries.. go slow. I would start with trying to get some sort of temperature control in the Library

A little osmo oil on that would work in the Knight's room paint the walls back the original color and Bob's your uncle. Absolutely stunning chateau! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

Gidday Denise and Brett- you just don’t know what really is there until a walk around is carried out ,what a beautiful, striking and intriguing chateau you both have. Brett is truely flying the Aussie flag with his tee shirt on 🦘. Thank you for allowing us to take part in your nostalgic trip back in time and the history behind your new home. Looking forward to all the future episodes where Brett can get his hands into the renovations, thank you, gob bless and be safe- passe une merveilleuse journée et nous t'aimons

I agree, you just arrived and its good to get accustomed to the layout and feel of the rooms. I guess the word you were looking for is : it would be sacrilege 🙂 But nothing impedes to clean the cobwebs and dust away. Have fun

I am amazed at the condition the chateau is in. For its age it is really quite great. The dining room is amazing just as it is for now. Take time to get to know your property and it will let you know what needs to be to happen in order to preserve its integrity. I feel confident that it is in very good hands with you both. Deborah.

I'm so excited for you both 💓. I do agree that the music is so loud and ur voices are very low . But beautiful 😍

Bonjour Denise and Brett! What a wonderful journey you are on...I remember so well those feelings of discovery! I'm so glad you are honouring the past and leaving the beauty for future generations to see and admire. To start with, most details just need a thorough but gentle clean, so that their true beauty and colours can be admired. That Murano chandelier will be magnificent once totally clean...can you imagine? 😻Lots of "elbow grease" needed but I'm sure you're both prepared for that. Sending hugs your way Marisa 🥰🤗😘💖

At least give the Knight's room and Library good dusting. I like the idea of keeping them original, however.

1) how far are you from the nearest (international) Airport? 2) What will be the daily room rates? 3) when do you anticipate being open for business? Thx! 🍀😀👍🇺🇸

Wow, such a beautiful chateau and may you enjoy every minute restoring !!

It’s always heartbreaking to see a chapel destroyed and used for a different purpose. I’m glad the parts are in one of the outbuildings. I hope you’re able to find each component and restore it to its former glory! Also excited to see the knights room get some love and attention. It’s a beautiful room.

I love that you are aware that you have parts of the chateau that remain untouched for time & are magical & you’re not rushing in & cleaning & ruining the ambiance ❤

Thanx for posting . Ive been waiting to see your beautiful Chateau. ❤❤❤ Its so full of history and beautiful.❤

It is absolutely beautiful. So many wonderful features. Looking forward to following you and seeing what you do.

The knight/dining room is absolutely beautiful. The fireplace and the wooden panels are stunning! However, the room could use a good cleaning and dusting around, a fresh coat of paint on the walls and some flower arrangements would really brighten up this space frozen in time, and please open those blinds to get rid of the spider webs!! 😅

Simply magnificent château. The moment is here and it's exciting to see your journey with the château.

Merci beaucoup pour le moment passé en votre compagnie et pour la découverte du Château ❤

Oh my goodness this Chateau is incredible, fascinating, and so full of history. Thank you so much for doing this vlog so we can come along on this journey with you. I can't wait to watch you bring it back to all of it's glory.

Lovely. You have a great perspective on timing and history. The discovery of its history will be such a grand adventure.

Hi@ Selling up & Buying a Chateau! ❤️

Love it guys 🥰 The majestic history the building holds is incredible, and so romantically unfolding for you. Those peach leather couches definitely need to go on a burn pile 😂 Lock in another bonfire and we’ll be there xxx

You are living the dream, and finding new treasures every day. It's so exciting I feel I want to be there with you. I can't wait to see what you find next.

You Chateau is incredible. I really appreciate the care and attention you are planning to preserve the history as much as possible. I can’t wait to see more of it.

I would absolutely clean dust and polish the rooms that you don't plan on restoring, so that when guests peek inside it looks authentic yet still cared for.

How divine! What a find. Look forward to following your journey. Wonderful that all that history and furniture came with it. Would love to know its history and when it was built.

Such a beautiful chateau! I love the reverence you show for the history of it. I was watching another chateau show, and they put in ultra modern lighting and things. The guest rooms they renovated looked like an American Holiday Inn. If I was going to stay in a chateau, I would want it to look like a chateau, and not like a chain hotel! The reverence you show for the building and it's history reassured me that when you update your rooms, you will keep it looking like a chateau. I noticed that when you did your Australian place, you kept the farmhouse feeling, so that reassured me too. I'm looking forward to more of your videos!

This is a very grand chateau. ❤

Quite the project, number 1 is always the roof. If the roof is not A1 your wasting time and money.

Amazing place. Congrats

Thank you both for the tour, goodness once you get the years of dust & grime from each room that you are leaving untouched, it will be a beautiful remarkable sight. If only the walls could talk what a story they would tell. I can smell the bee’s wax on the furniture & paneling, I can only guess, as you said, where to start. Good luck, it will come together once you come down of the high ’pinch me to see if it is real’ you are home. What a spectacular chandelier, exquisite, Murano is an island in the lagoon on the north side of Venice. The glass masters working there today are descendants of an unbroken line of artisans that reaches back to the beginning of the craft itself. In 1291. wow for you both! I was there a few years back & bought two beautiful wine glasses, once in a lifetime buy. You are so lucky to have some of their splendid chandeliers of Venice, so sought after by connoisseurs. Your priorities will be in place & rest assured it will come together.

I am overwhelmed by how little you know about the history of this beautiful chateau and the work ahead to restore it. Wishing you good luck and many blessings.You need to start networking now if you haven’t already to find out where the real artisans in the area are that you are going to need. I hope you have very deep pockets!

I ❤that you are leaving the Knights Room in it’s original condition A stunning “Time Warp” room ♥️🇦🇺🌻

The Pethericks had wall panelling that was similar to what was used on the titanic, similar to linoleum. They found the place in England where it was and still can be made. It was quite popular in it's day but expensive. Might be in your entry

You are definitely so lucky to have found this Chateau. The condition is amazing (of course, we are not seeing it close up like you are). The chandelier is Murano Glass from Italy. Soap and warm water will do the cleanup nicely (not too much soap); it will sparkle and is thing of beauty before and after cleanup. The antique furniture is stunning. Yes, a little ‘elbow grease’ and cleaner/waxing will bring it all back to life, beautifully. They are all treasures. The home is a treasure in itself. It will be hard work, but oh so worth it. I cannot wait to follow along on this beautiful journey with you both.

Beautiful chateau with so much original character! ❤

Beautiful chateau the chapel photo looks amazing good luck look forward to the next video ❤

Thank you for sharing this tour. Your interest & respect in the history is enjoyable to watch. You’re so lucky that so much of its furniture and contents have been left behind to continue in the history. The amazing wallpaper/ panels at the entrance reminds me of the expensive raised leather? wallpaper popular in the early 1900s. Michael from the Petherick’s KZread channel did research on replicating theirs and even visited the manufacturer. You have so much to do but feel like you can accomplish it all! So excited for you both!

Thank you for sharing. The home is a perfect fit for you. ❤

The "Leather" embossed wall treatment was probably made by the same English company who did similar embossed leather look wall treatment on the Pethericks chateau. Michale went into more than one episode on that company who evidently still make it.

What a fabulous chateau you found, stunning original features....oh what joy.

Amazing chateau, can't wait to follow your journey and here the history of this sharing home.

I would definitely try to steel the restorations for the Chateau diaries' paintwork and the architect from Chateau de Purnon to help you restore the knight's room.

The chateau that you have chosen is absolutely stunning. I am looking forward to watching lots more videos. x❤

It's been a revelation seeing the beautiful architectural details and artifacts that exist in your new home. Thank you for sharing. I hope you find loads of documentation about Londigny. Love your vlogs! ⛲️🏰
