This is one of the best tours of a chateau you have ever done. His knowledge of history of the chateau at different periods and the people who lived there is incredible. What a wonderful estate with two very interesting and likable owners. The bloopers were so fun. A great first episode for your new channel.

I think the bloopers shows how much time and commitment, both Philip and Stephanie have, to give us all, the best possible tour of this beautiful chateau

The ending, when the wheels came off was such fun. People are people the world over and who among us does not had a marvelous memory of laughing uncontrollably over - nothing. Well done.

Hi! You've a beautiful picture on your profile just decided to stop by and say hi! I hope my compliment is appreciated 😊

I love it when owners of places like this, actually leave or put back the history and live with in it. I agree, the kitchen is spectacular. The size of it, the beautiful arches, the fireplace, plus modern stoves, dishwashers, etc. So much history in these walls, and the owners who appreciate it. Thank you for sharing all of this with us.

This is better than any show on the history channel. Congratulations on a mesmerising first episode. This château and it’s history expert owners would be fabulous to have a regular spot on your channel.

One of the most fascinating châteaux I have ever seen. The history is amazing. It always surprises me how close together these major châteaux are. 🇦🇺

Chris shared so much history of the château, I actually watched this video several times to make notes so I can research. Thank you so much for introducing your viewers to this magnificent château & their owners. Congratulations on your new channel! ❤️

Fascinating to hear the history of this beautiful chateau. I love when the owners are the custodians of these magnificent homes and allow us in to appreciate their beauty. Merci beaucoup.

Wow! You’ve done it yet again with your appreciation of history, introducing us to such lovely people & worthy custodians of this charming château, with impressive knowledge and great taste!

All the best with the new channel Stephanie. I've lived in Australia since I was 3 years old (born in London) and I adore chateaus, history and Europe in general (especially France). I was struck down with a rare bone disease 8 years ago (mid 40s) and am now physically disabled in a wheelchair and unable to travel. I'm so enjoying travelling from home, through your channels, others you've shared and all the Escape to the Chateau DIY vloggers. As I read other comments today I wanted to encourage you.... There will always be people who love, like or dislike any creative content. I'm a blogger, Podcaster and have just had my first book published (my memoirs/plus tips for others living with chronic disease to live the best life possible). I know how hard it is to try and decide what to share and what direction to take with a brand. My story is one of love, laughter, faith and hope..... a little similar to your "life, love and laughter" Just be true to yourself and follow your heart. Doing this will always ensure you will connect with those who will appreciate all you are doing. Hope you're enjoying your holiday....also so important to rest and take a break from the public life. Take care, Sam x

I would've been happy to watch a tour of this beautiful castle for at least a couple of hours! It's absolutely stunning!! The outside was so beautiful as well! I would love to see the sitting room after they have redone it. I'm sure it will be beautiful. The bloopers at the end were so funny! When watching one of these magnificent tours we don't realize how many hours of filming it takes. At least I don't. The editing flows so seamlessly that it feels like you only filmed for a little while not hours and hours. It makes me appreciate the vlogs even more!! This new channel makes me extremely happy!!😁

Miss Jarvis takes her guidebook, her gloves and parasol. And ventures to the country to find a house to call. Bedazzling the owners with charm and gratitude. They soon unlock all chambers and serve her even food. No secret left uncovered. All passage ways explored. Miss Jarvis is quite thorough when she attacks the fort. The audience applaudes her. For they do learn a lot. From grizzly crimes committed to brand of chamberpot. I bow and I salute her: For entertainment‘s prime. Miss Jarvis is a diamond. A treasure of her time ! 🥇😘

Hello from London

What a phenomenal first video for this new channel. The history content alone makes it substantial. Philip does his extraordinary video taping knowing exactly what the viewers eyes want to see. The sliding chapel stained glass windows, the likely provenance of the "Unicorn at Fountain" tapestry, the "wooden stockade" from the 15th century tower, the tailors bedroom, the "Throne Room", the kitchen of all kitchens....all so simply marvelous !!!

It's Amazing to see layers and layers of history through your eyes. Thank you for letting us step into past and take a peek at the lives back then. Beautifully done! And I will be looking forward to the bloopers at the end of each video from now on!

I'm doubled over laughing from the bloopers as well but will stop long enough to wish you a HUGE congratulations on your new channel. It's already a winner!! What a magnificent place to start! ❤

🍁I love how the owner puts in fun whimsy with his history of the château, such as the ‘throne room loo’ 🤣 So amazing all his knowledge, this vlog was fascinating to listen to. The kitchen is my favourite room😍

So happy to get this channel! I love when you do deep dives into other chateaux, history and culture.

What a delight! Just wonderful people looking after the chateau.

I loved every moment of this tour and the bloopers were the cherry on top! Thanks for the fabulous belly laugh! 🤣

Thank you Stephanie....such a beautiful tour. The exterior of the chateau reminded me so much of your chateau. Loved the "Bloopers"!!

What a breath taking building.

I laughed so hard. Thank you for showing the bloopers. 🤣😂🤣. This home is absolutely stunning❤.

What an amazing place with so much history oozing out of it. I agree that the kitchen is drool worthy. I also love the family history that they are adding to the chateau with pieces from their own relatives. I also enjoy the little tongue in cheek pieces but I think my favourite place is the thrown room.

Very interesting, the owner knows so much about the history of his castle. I love this new channel looking forward to seeing more. Especially the bloopers

The bloopers at the end were so funny. Filming everything to look natural is so hard. Thank you. The history of this place was absolutely fascinating. Well done.👏

What a delight! I’m so looking forward to future discoveries. You’ve done it once again, Stephanie!!

Chris and Sonia are utterly delightful. Their castle Chateau de la Motte Feuilly is superb. Fancy it being connected with the Borgia family! The chapel is beautiful too. What an incredible gem of a castle. Thank you Stephanie, Philip and course Chris and Sonia so very much for sharing this very beautiful place.

What a throne room!Fantastic chapel! Great start on amazing Chateau’s new channel!

stephanie is blown away with learning and knowledge...not a drop of envy in her body 🤗

Oh my gosh-this was AMAZING! The chapel was really special. You all brought the viewer right into the space- I felt like I was there with you all! The blooper reel was hysterical- I had tears coming out of my eyes!! Looking forward to your next one!! :)

The preservation of this beautiful castle is quite shocking ❤

This chapel is stunning!!! Stephanie, thank you for the tour and thank you to the wonderful hosts!!!

Omg! I so needed a good laugh!!The ending was amazing! As was the chateau and it’s history! Thoroughly enjoyed this episode :)

This was fabulous. It was so interesting. And that kitchen is amazing. The history of this chateau could be a mini series. So fascinating. Wonderful video, Stephanie. Bravo!!!

Such a beautiful castle and historical place thank you for sharing friend God bless

What a love couple and beautiful Château, he is so knowledgeable and I really enjoyed hearing the history of their home. I especially love his sense of humor..the throne room with the bells and whistles, the little box hiding the sewing machine in the Taylor’s room. The bloopers at the end were hilarious.

Lovely to see such pride and passion in one's home. It's a gift to all of us. Thank you, Stephanie.

Oh Stephanie I am going to love this channel. I had watched your vlog first of course and then to see more of this really incredible Château was such a treat. It’s just mind blowing how old and the history to this place is just amazing and SO interesting and what a lovely couple that own it and are restoring it as tastefully, historically but loveable and comfortable all at the same time. To think of all the people that have lived and been to this Castle over the many hundreds of year would be astounding. I will be looking forward to seeing your videos each month. The laughing, giggly bloopers were so funny as well. Thank you.

What a beautiful castle. Loved the bloopers!!

Best tour I have see and what a hilarious ending, Please bring us more chateau tour renovations!

This is so awesome!! Loved this couple and the castle!! I’d love to know more of Chris’ history and how he came to own the castle and how he met his wife!! Just beautiful!! I hope they start their own channel!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

Enormous treat...so fun with Stephanie and the hosts..

We watched Stephanie’s grand tour of Venice - it was one of the best travel films we’ve seen (and we’re junkies). This channel will be deal breaking!

Tour was lovely. I can't wait to see more adventures. The outtake of laughter was wonderful. A/C in the room was a brilliant idea to help keep people cool while sleeping in the heat that engulfing the earth. So excited to see more.

Being a lover of history, your new channel is deeply appreciated. The added bonus on top of the wonderful tour of such an historic and beautiful Chateau were the outtakes. They were both delight and reminder of just how much time and effort goes into each of your videos. Loved all of you cracking up. Thank you for the history, laughter, and all that you do.

This was an excellent tour as Chris is a really delightful host and his knowledge of the history is amazing…you all were having sooo much fun towards the end of the tour😂😂😂 well done❤️❤️❤️

the bloopers are the BEST

This a magnificent, cultured and traditional renovation respecting and staying true to its heritage and history. The owners are to be commended for their incredible work thus far and what is to come. Knowing who he is and his work, one hopes he can survive the current times in Russia to continue this work. Good luck.

I've always had a dream to live in a castle or chateau one day,but now I can watch it and still dream. This is a beautiful castle and gardens.

This was so exciting! Can’t wait for the next one.

I loved the bloopers almost more than the rest. It was so natural. Excellent premier.
