Yes! do a geophys on the lawns & that would show up any old walls or tunnels under your land. Very interesting episode BTW x

Love the time team reference! You should call your local university to see if you can get some archaeologists out to the chateau. They may be able to use ground penitrating radar depending on your soil type. They may also be able to tell you if the area has been excavated previously.

Oh! Yes! It would be amazing to have TT come out! I only discovered them on KZread - sadly, US TV has nothing of that quality - but even if they can't do it, it would be great if you could get the local uni or archeological group to do a scan of the grounds.

As an American, I amazed by the dates. So many mysteries to explore.

Anna, ground penetrating radar can reveal ancient activity in the soil. It can locate underground tunnels and structures at quite a depth. It's completely noninvasive. Archeologists often use it to determine where to dig. I also like the idea of the metal detector. I assume you've read recently about the guy who found the gold medallion and chain presumed to have belonged to Henry VIII. I'm not suggesting such treasures are to be found around your Château, but interesting artifacts are likely to abound just the same. Happy hunting.

Thank you for taking my mind away from one of my countries (Türkiye & France) for a short while and even make me laugh … I’ve been crying for the whole week … Thank you ❤

Phillip is hilarious and Anna has exquisite taste, but I really love when they delve into the history of the chateau and get into the historical aspects of their renovation. Thanks for a great video. More please!!

I have a geothermal "water furnace". The installers measure the cubic feet of your house/chateau to calculate how many loops they need to dig to heat/cool. I needed 4. The fluid in the system goes through the ground picking up the ambient temperature (about 55 degrees Fahrenheit where I am). It was expensive and it's hard to know how much it saves me, but what I especially like, it's a heat exchanger, so in the summer it cools the house and in the winter, it limits the heat necessary to just the difference between ground temp and what I set the thermostat at (68). This summer I am putting on solar panels with battery backup to provide enough electricity to run the house most of the time and charge an electric car. You will be glad to have those open windows into your cave because they can run the geothermal lines through there. I also have a well and a septic tank, so I'd love to "get off the grid." I should add, my daughter just looked into converting from a boiler/radiator and air con system to a heat exchanger, and because there are no air ducts, the cost was prohibitive. You have the same problem. How would you put ductwork into that chateau without destroying the renovations you've made? 'Tis a problem.

The number one metal detector must have is identifying precious metals (gold, silver) AND differentiating between them and other metals. The chateau's grounds, floors and other places have yet to reveal their buried treasures. The second must-have feature is depth - for deep detection. The third feature is water proof for underwater detection. Have fun when you buy the metal detector which will surely become Philip's hobby and obsession!

how freaking cool!! I always wondered with the drone footage, why the front garden had different green hues!!

The bottle base is called a "punt" they are used on the bottom of bottle that hold wine/cider etc that becomes fizzy. The base of the bottom is thicker than non pressurised bottles.

You guys are fabulous. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The history of the château is a dream of mine. Take care you guys.

Push up or kick up is the hollow base of the bottle, with a pontil or punte mark from the iron bar the molten glass was attached to when it was blown. I’ve seen those Duchamp racks with bottles attached made into a chandelier.

That amazing bottle drying rack , equipped with those old bottles, and a light source in the middle, would be an highly interesting object for a big room or for the garden!

Ed and Anna's KZread channel Bordeaux Life at their Chateau Lagorce did just that for their for their wedding venue.

Fortresses would very often have a tunnel that ended up on the other side of town or a church, as a means of escape for when the fortress was sieged. I've seen it elsewhere in France. 👀

yes, it's extremely common in Portugal too, especially from castles and fortresses to convents (or ports). Our royal family escaped from Napoleon using the famous Mafra passages (from the palace to the port and then went to Brasil)

If you are interested in metal detectors, you might check w/Billy from Chateau de la Basmaignee. He used one at the convent when he was replacing the floor in the kitchen. Fascinating to see the basement and to hear of your water ecology plans.

Very interesting. Glad to see the deep well is under lock and key. Can’t wait to see the grounds gone over with a metal detector. How exciting! Have a great week.

Yes, bring in the Time Team!! This exploration was fun.

The cave was definitely an interesting space. The well was the best part. Can’t image how they built it without the tools we have today. Great humor as usual. Thanks for sharing. 😍😘

Ow nooo This was too short. 18 minutes felt like 10 or less. I can't get enough of you guys, especially when you explore around the premises

Great tour of the basement. So interesting to see the old dates as well as the plaster and lathe walls.

Philip is a hoot. I love this macabre sense of humour! 😂😂😂 you need a plumbers camera thingy. Send it down the well.

Wow, this really is both fascinating and a wee bit scary. I kept worrying that Phillip might slip in either the well or the watering system hole.

I was thinking of Time Team too! when you were talking about treasure in the well. The bottom of wells are a rich archeological area to probe and I was imagining what an archeologist could do with your well and exploring for hidden tunnels using John GAter of Time Team doing "geophys" on the lawn!

Ask Billy Petherick from Chateau de la Baisemagnee about the metal detector. He has a good one that differentiates between the different metals. They used it at the Convent last week. Mo, his brother in law used it in the Convent garden and found some old relics.

The floating dead rat impression was superb, Philip!

Time Team! Yes, it would be amazing to get them involved. I love to watch old episodes on youtube.

That was a really interesting vid of the Chateau. Great to see some of its history. Can't wait to see more of its history.

FLP stands for Fillipe…. Crystal-clear😊😊😊

A very interesting video. You might very well have tunnels under your property. I would want to know if anything is collapsing underneath, but also for tracing more of the past. Where I live, we have many old stone homes dating back to the 1700’s and they also have very deep wells, some 200 and 300 feet deep, all hand stacked stone and simply beautiful. I visited a nearby house a few years back where an addition was built over a deep no longer used well, so they made the floor of the addition glass and tucked lighting into the hand stacked stone of the well. It was absolutely gorgeous to look down through the glass floor to see the old well. A staircase went down to the basement of the addition beside the well, and it was made into a wine cellar. The well had iron rails separating it from the wine cellar and was absolutely stunning with the lighting in the stone and the sound of trickling water. Hugs from New Hope, Pennsylvania. xx

How FUN! Thanks for taking us on your journey to the cav, loved seeing the dated walls and obviously the banter between the two of you. 😂🥰

Metal detecting the cave and magnet fishing the well would be very interesting.

My Lord, 1545!!! That's wonderfull, you live on the remains of indeed a medieval château. How very interesting and wonderfull it's still preserved, not only the walls, but the very inspriction. I assure you, that is rare and very special. Please protect all inscriptions 🙏. Lovely you show us, thank you! The old wine bottles are interesting too, though I wouldn't dare drink it anymore. Perhaps something for research by a winery? You truly have a number of very interesting things underground, how lovely!

That would be so cool 😎 to have Time Team come and take a look. You can see the ground kind of dips down there where Anna pointed out. Fingers crossed 🤞

Love the Duchamp! Yes love to see your initials - the whole family! Your doing awesome work on the chateau - I enjoy watching every week and am cheering you on! Bravo - well done!

The main well for the castle/fortified manor would have been within the defensive walls. Whether the existing one is the same well is a question that an archaeological survey might answer. Those documents you have sound really intriguing. Maybe the museum or mayor’s office in Honfleur would have records/maps showing the original structure.

there’s actually some clear line on your green in front of your chateau following the outer line. Wondered already while watching the intro. Either there was some former straight walking way or probably a wall. At least the gras growing different there to the rest.

Had a small anxiety attack when you opened the door to the old well. Thanks for not falling in … whew! Very interesting video that really shows the incredible complexity in undertaking renovating and living in an old chateau. Not for the faint of heart or lazy! Thanks!

Hi Guys. As a former winemaker, I can answer a question you asked: empty bottles with the cork still in place. Wine will evaporate through the cork. Eventually, over many years, the bottle will empty. The evaporated wine is known as the "Angels' Share". I've experienced the same thing with some ancient bottles in my collection. I was in your area in late September. I was going to contact you to see how the church renovation was going. I also had a number of answers concerning your distillery on the property. However, I injured my foot on the trip and had to hobble home. Perhaps later this year.. I'll be in touch.

First rule of photography I was taught, put the strap around your neck. A strap might be handy. To avoid catastrophe. I find the water collection so brilliant.

Love you guys...Phillip has such a wonderful puckish sense of humor...

I initially had been thinking that you should see if you could have Time Team come an investigate your property. And I was planning on commenting that but when Anna mentioned Time Team I just grinned. Another thing to note, in the drone shots at the beginning of this video, take a look at the front lawn. You can see the yellow-green grass what look like the remains of a wall from some type of building.

One of the best series on KZread! I have been sick with COVID the last week and it’s been great to get me through being in quarantine! I have watched every single video and now can look forward to this every week!

I don't know how you have waited this long to learn more about your land. Those documents would have been my first priority, following purchase. I couldn't stand the suspense! Oh, I'd love to see you invite some archeologists in to explore.

With all due respect to others renovating Chateau's ;it is your's that is the most interesting you do the job so thoroughly from the ground up and your results are well finished and quite beautiful as well as educational on just how to do the job well. Classy!

These wells are really something. Awesome property. All the best to you all.

If you are serious of the ground appearing to be sinking then that could be a safety issue. Friends of my parents bought a property not far from an old British fort ( in Nova Scotia) and it did turn out to have tunnels that had been crumbling. They were lucky and no one was hurt when their backyard developed a sink hole. No one knew the tunnels were there.

i Love your videos.Your chateau and property are super interesting and very intriguing . This should be a great video series I love it LOL seriously these would be great to explore take care

Philip- the divot in the bottom of the bottles is called a punt in English. And our 210-year-old home in the US has parging on the cellar walls- which I think you saw as plaster. This was an old way to provide a bit of insulation and secure the mortar when humidity changes might loosen it.

I am always left wanting to explore more. You both make this a marvelous mix of adventure, renovation tidbits and mystery ❤

Bounty hunter TK4 is very popular. I use the Titanium model. It works well in finding some old coins when I was renovating an 1850 estate home a few years back. Good luck, love your channel, well done!

Dont know what the temperatures are like in the winter where you live, but here in the U.S we have had some brutal cold weather. Some friends have geothermal heating and with the brutal cold weather the homes could not be warmed above 56 degrees because obviously the ground was super cold. They had to use space heaters to get warm.

Looking forward to the Time Team video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do a ground penetration radar survey of the lawn and it will tell you if there are tunnels or structures beneath.

I see a vlogger on another channel - cleaned their antique rack, put party lights all over it, lights where you would place the bottles, cleaned up the old bottles then placed them on there drying rack. Light up at night time looking like a chandelier. Placed outside in the Courtyard where they entertained weddings. BOTTLE CHANDELIER

Australian-sized spiders😂 Thank you for making this Australian chuckle

So fascinating about all the unusual hidden things!

Hilarious when Philip said the wine tasting room would be for "his friends and no women". Benoit and Anna are his only friends 🤣

I look so forward to your vlog each week. You’re tons of fun to watch and you do such a great job renovating the rooms of the chateau.

Good fun exploring today with you both. Be very useful to know what is under there Anna!!

Save the bottle boxes and all the parts. They are beautiful and useful. What a cellar adventure.

Love, love the time team to come ☺️

Absolutely my favorite couple on a chateau show lol and he is funny😂. As an American we could only wish for old houses like these stunning ones.

We love Time Team. Would love to see more historic exploration of your place.

Area plastered under stairs could be a food safe for storing and/or drying food.🤗

You should contact the guy from, Bondi treasure hunter. He does magnet fishing for treasure. I think he is in the Netherlands right now. He travels all around Europe and the globe. He is very cool guy! He could use his magnets down your well looking for treasure.

When Anna said the Time Team... I got really excited!

Great vlog and so very interesting. Thank you so much, take care all.

Thanks guys, always enjoy your vids!

Hey Phillip I really enjoyed exploring the wine cellar with you. I must admit the spiders would keep me out of there though. I was surprised it was so small for such a big Chateau. Hugs, Kathy 🇺🇸

This chateu remind me of the house on the series Locke & Key, specially the well part! So interesting living in a place so full of history!

Amazing amount of work and a great job! 👍You deserve a medal! 🥇

The plaster construction on the way down to your basement you were talking about is called Lath and plaster.The small pieces of wood are the laths.They are installed with 15-20mm between so that the plaster will hang better😉It was mainly used in Europe but i remember it was also used in New Zealand in the old houses.(I am originally from NZ)We are currently renovating a 300 year old stone house on an island in Croatia and the internal walls also are made of lath and plaster😉 Love your chanel by the way.We have watched it from the begining.
