The magazine, Country Life, has been a fixture on the other side of the channel for decades. I wonder if Vie à la Campagne was modeled on the British magazine.

How sad that it was so destroyed, but those magazines are a great blueprint! Providence is with you! ❤️

It seems immoral to strip the beauty from a building. Not only does it ensure the value drops, it ensures people won't care as much about it. I'm glad you have come along and DO care! Like you, it will stand tall and beautiful again!

Amazing! You are extremely fortunate to have access to the magazines and catalog. Looking forward to watching your progress…Good Luck!!!

For as long as you have this chateau, there will be countless discoveries. Enjoy all of them . . . Thanks for all of your hard work.

What a great find the magazines were. This is a labor of passion to restore as much as possible.

Every scrap you can find is a treasure in your discovery

Dear mister Anton, Congratulations on the discovery of the magazines and books. You can make a copy of the paintings and sculptures you like, and publish where the originals are at the bottom of the painting. Kisses from Barcelona❤

A bittersweet video that brings out strong emotions of sadness for the stripping of such beautiful and valuable furnishings and hardware but also the sheer joy and bonne chance of having so many extraordinary photos documenting the original architectural features, period furniture and artwork. It is a long and difficult task to take on the restoration but I'm sure you will find it to be a very rewarding adventure and a great source of pride personally as well as a monumentally important gift to the national heritage of France.

Wow! Those wood floors that were in the salon were amazing! I can't believe they actually chiseled out the stone keystone in the entryway arch.

Tremendous undertaking but your efforts will yield a marvelous result.

Thank you so much for this latest update/video! The magazines you've found, as well as the auction catalog, are fantastic and no doubt will be helpful moving forward! Your project is just...incredible and thank you for taking us all along as you go through your restoration process. Happy New Year! and can't wait for the next installment!!

Wow! Beautiful furniture in those magazines!

It's phenomenal that you found these photos, but it must also be heartbreaking that the house no longer has all the original features. I look forward to your journey to renovate and restore what you can.

Your goal of harmonizing the past with the present is very admirable.I look forward to seeing the restoration progress in coming years. It is a project of passion and excitement.Thank you for sharing this endeavor and hope you have as much fun doing it as I have watching!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it is so interesting to see the actual pictures of how the chateau used to be. It’s heartbreaking that everything was sold, although I know you will do it justice with the beautiful way you will restore it.

If only more of the world could be coherent, logical and restored to beauty. Your project is a talisman of hope for the future.

Sadly not Was destroyed in the 19th century

How lucky to have found the magazines. Here's hoping 2024 is a great year for the Chateau:)

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful discovery of these magazine and taking us along as you compare the before and after pictures! (Except in this instance, the before was so much better than the after!) A real treat! So looking forward to keeping up with your progress!

This channel is such a treasure. Thank you for sharing this project. Best wishes for your hardwork

That was a fantastic mini tour. The Château must have been amazing. How fortunate that you've been able to find such excellent documentary evidence. Bravo!

How fun to have old pictures of your chateau! It's so sad that so much was lost but it's almost like you have a time machine in those magazines and catalogs. One of my favorite shows was called "If Walls Could Talk". It was set in the USA and talked about old houses (Much younger houses than in Europe, of corse)and the artifacts and things the current owners had discovered about their history. It was so fun.

How exciting, all your detective work! I look forward to following your journey, sir!

Those magazines were a lucky find . The rooms must have been beautiful before the decor and paneling were removed .

Hello Darling I’m so glad you found the magazines You already have great taste And I love how you concentrate on the smallest detail. Lots of be hugs

Those magazines were like traveling back in time, getting to see it as it was vs now While not everything can be brought back exactly, nor does it need to be, as it is your home, it would be fantastic to restore that music room with the balcony and the gorgeous bathroom. Good luck. I am looking forward to the restoration.

Wow! That is such a lucky find so you can tell what your chateau used to look like. Looking forward to watching your home come to life. So please keep the videos coming!

A wonderful look into the past, and seeing what will be once again!

How fantastic that you have those pictures now. I love your videos so fantastic to watch. Please keep them coming

Enjoyed it?. Loved it! Such joy to find photos from before it was all sold off. The happy results of your ongoing research .good luck with everything. The chateau could not be in better hands

What a shame that so much was stripped! It is wonderful that you have the magazines as references.

What a great resource to have found! We trust that you will do an amazing job restoring the interiors and bringing some sense of harmony and balance to the chateau! C'est tellement triste de voir comment un patrimoine peut être dilapidé par des gens sans scrupules ou par des circonstances malheureuses. Mais quelle chance que ce chateau vous ait trouvé!!

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful discovery of these magazine and your journey with us! From Brazil.

What a magnificent find … those books are absolutely beautiful as you stepping back in time ….they are a precious priceless time capsule for sure . … Such a shame things where destroyed and changed back then …. From New Zealand … Sending you both love and light ,have a blessed New Year .❤️❤️

I really enjoyed your documentation and your sensitivity for the beauty of the chateau. I like your quiete way to report about project and it is so exciting for me to watch which ideas come true.

Très intéressant! After restoring each room I hope you'll show us the historic photos compared to the restoration.

What a great find. Having photos of the original castle interior and gardens is amazing, and will serve you well as you progress to restore as many original features as possible.

I can not believe how different the interiors look now, compared to the original interiors. What a shame that the castles interior beauty was basically destroyed. I think it would look fabulous to put fake doors back in the room rather than windows.

Mi piange il cuore vedere dalle riviste, il brutale cambiamento degli interni. Non capisco perché tutto, deve cambiare sempre in peggio e mai in meglio. Posso capire che i mobili siano stati venduti ma le boiserie, le decorazioni murarie lasciatele così come sono !!! Solo l'essere umano è capace di tale accaparramento. 😮 Tanto contenta di vedere Lei, anima nobile e perseverante. La stimo moltissimo ❤

What a treasure you found in those magazines! It will be your guide as you restore your beautiful chateau! Luv luv luv

Wow! You are fortunate to have discovered the publications in order to document and assist with the restoration. That's exciting. I think that calls for a bottle of chilled blanquette! 🍾

What an incredible find! It was so interesting to see it in all its glory, but I can’t wait to see how you bring it all together for today’s needs. It is such a tragedy that everything was sold to the bare bones, but that magazine will be invaluable to help you put it back together. Thank you so much for sharing all this with us.

how fortunate to have those pictures!! I love watching the progress - your attention to accuracy is wonderful

very important to find those magazines indeed!

What a wonderful discovery, these old magazines! Recently I watched a docu about the construction of La Sagrada Familia on ARTE TV. They used 3D technique to be able to visualize the workshop of Gaudi from old photographs in order to understand his models and plans, since they got lost in a fire. Maybe you could use that technique with these photos as well for the restauration of the lost interiors of your chateau. Wishing you all the best for your plans in 2024!

BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOURS

Such a great find, provenance means so much when renovating. Can’t wait to see what is in store for 2024. Happy New Year’s to you and yours.

It's fabulous you have some photographic history! But a shame it was all sold off. I hope you're able to get some of it back at some time.

So incredible to see the possibilities.

Really love your project and the sensitivity of your respect for the house’s past.

Thank you for sharing Antoni and hope the new year brings more videos from you and your castle

Thank you for taking the care & time to show as it used to be. Very interesting. A Happy New Year x

Desde Argentina 🇦🇷... Cada vez qué te veo en vídeo me emocionó y maravillo... Gracias por mostrar.

how sad that everything was sold, but it is still an elegant and beautiful house and you will have fun making it a home again

i'm sure you will put as much back as possible

Je suis brésilienne et pour moi, c'est un rêve impossible de vivre dans un château comme celui-ci. Félicitations pour la splendide rénovation

Hello, this video is excellent. It is great that you have the ‘road maps’ from the auction catalogue and the two magazines. Having pictures of the wood paneling is important as is the furniture and art. What was the subject matter of the very large paintings? I would love to know. This is a very exciting journey that you are taking us on, as for those of us who appreciate the history and quality of the work in the past, now get to see it coming to life once again. Thank you so much. Mrs. Gibson, from Uzès

I don't know if I could look at the catalog of all the stuff that had been sold off. It would make me sad to not be able to get it all back! I look forward to see how the chateau is restored! Thanks for sharing!

Love your tours. You are so competent, well informed, and thorough. Thanks.

Thank you! My Dad was American military and we lived in some of the bigger older homes. Is so wonderful to find photos and videos of our homes. Most of them were built around the 1890’s. Dumb waiters, call tubes, servants stairs and quarters. The history was phenomenal. Thank you again!❤

How lucky to have found these treasures!

Joyeux Noel Antoni, what a treasure those magazines are. They are going to really help you restore your Castle. I love the catalog, that shows exactly what was sold at auction, you get to see what the castle was furnished with. This was so exciting to see, thanks for sharing. "Bonne Annee" Love from N.Y.

Very cool you were able to find those pictures! Love your watch by the way! Cheers Kirk

How horrible to have stripped out all those beautiful features throughout the chateau. Good luck with the restoration.

How wonderful that you found those magazines showing the interiors! Agree you don't have to do an exact replica, but it's great to see how it used to look. I hope you have good luck sourcing some similar items. What a shame places like this get stripped of everything that made them so beautiful. Thank you for the update! Happy New Year and I look forward to your next video 🎉🎉🎉

I know the costs are astronomical but I hope that your restoration will include as much wood paneling as possible!!!!

Fantastic tour. I am glad to see the property in such good hands. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.

Es una verdadera fantasía poder ver las fotos para ver como era originalmente la casa! Me ha encantado 🤗

Mucho trabajo pero veo que tienes ganas de ponerlo bien lo mas parecido al original suerte y paciencia eres joven tendrás tiempo de verlo terminado y de disfrutarlo

Absolutely stunning! I look forward to seeing your transformation on the chateau ❤

What an exciting job to bring the charm back. What happened to that lovely gardening guy a couple of episodes back? I hope he comes back for more episodes.

That vision you have is from another era. 10 million euro's would not be enough, but YOU WILL FIND AWAY!!

Anton What a great find. Love love the history lesson. James

How fortunate to have that magazine and auction book. Looking forward to seeing how you restore your chateau. Thanks for sharing and wishing you and your family a happy, joyful and prosperous new year 🎆🎉😍😘

How wonderful to have found this reference that you can compare the current layout with the original. (Also, you English is absolutely charming, however, we don’t say “furnitures” for the plural of furniture😊) ❤

Exciting! You have discovered a treasure! Wonderful, beautiful, useful and inspiring discoveries for the restoration of the incredible palace. Thanks for sharing! 🇧🇷 Happy new year, sir!🥂 Emocionante! Voce descobriu um tesouro! Descobertas maravilhosas, belas, úteis e inspiradoras para restauração do incrivel palácio.

How interresting, and what a gift to found this. It is a good guide for you to help you to discover and to realize you plans about the castle.Very good! And for you Antoni a happy and healthy good New Year!! And a lot off good idears for your Castle. Lourens.

Fantastic 👏👏❤️ Thank you for showing us this emens project you are undertaking!! It will be exciting to watch you progress with this dream!! Tons of luck 😅 ❣️🙏🥰

It is wonderful you have such excellent documentation. Such a lovely Chateau.

Fascinating comparison of the early state of the chateau with its current state. I know that your restoration will respect its integrity yet contribute something of substance and style.

Quelle chance d’avoir trouvé ces brochures et ce catalogue mais quelle tristesse de constater le désastre causé par l’appât du gain . Je suis sûre que vous allez redonner vie à ce chateau avec votre personnalité même sans Oudry !! 2024 sera une année très riche en projets . Je vous la souhaite donc la meilleure possible pour les réaliser.

What an amazing find. Incredible!! That will make it so much easier when restoring. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It looks like the gardens were very formal.

J'adore l'histoire que vous partagez. On vous sent passionné et c'est tant mieux pour les lieux et les rénovations à venir. Au plaisir de voir la suite. Bon courage !

Waouh ! Ce catalogue est un trésor ! C’est comme avoir le mode d’emploi de ce superbe château 👍🏻 Je vous souhaite d’obtenir les fonds nécessaires à cette énorme restauration. Passez d’excellentes fête de fin d’année et à l’année prochaine ! 🌸✨🌸✨🌸

The amazing journey continues.....🥂

Essas revistas são verdadeiros tesouros com os quais vc poderá guiar sua reforma neste lindo castelo! Poderá reconstituir cada detalhe!Parabéns pelo precioso achado!

Amazing luck to have found such a historic treasure of the past interior, makes you realise what has been lost

Awesome research report the beauty shines

So fortunate that you found the magazines to guide you in your restoration. Now to find the balance between the old and the new. I'm looking forward to seeing the restoration of the chateau.
