Once again, your family is raising the bar in showing us how to methodically and sensibly restore a stunning chateau. I'm sure undertaking this major project isn't always a rosy experience 24/7 and you're all taking it in stride! Bravo and kudos to all of you!
My absolute favourite channel ....such joy to see another video . Your beautiful Chateau must sigh w joy knowing her elegant grandeur has been entrusted to the safe keeping of such capable talented and respectful hands . Such an inspirational team of warm, welcoming beautiful people . ❤
Your mom & family are all hard workers and it shows. Fun seeing all the fabulous buys at the French shops. The chateau is looking wonderful ❣️
Your Mom did a beautiful job on the door.❤ Everyone really works hard. You all have really done a beautiful job. Love the floor color.
Thank you all for a wonderful stay at Puy Vidal. For anyone who has the ability to visit, it is a joy to be with this wonderful family in their elegant chateau. Besides all the breathtaking vistas, enfilades, and beautiful meals, there are so many dusty attics full of china and fabric to explore. A designer's dream. With gratitude for an unforgettable week. Anne, the Enabler:)
Ha ha ! Love it ! Anne the influencer 😮
Dear Anne, it was such a joy to do all our favorite things with you- treasure hunting, carpet ripping, and beautiful dinner time. Thank you so much for being the loveliest of guests❤️
I love how each family member has specific projects. The encouragement and support you give each other is beautiful to see. You are optimizing and improving the chateau incrementally. So fun to watch! Love your videography and music!
Your Dad looks totally destressed now. Wow your Mom is great at the sanding and staining. I love the sound of the creaky wood floors in old chateaus etc. You guys are breathing new life into Puy Vidal, taking care of all the little spots that had been ignored
Each of your videos is a work of art. My dear ladies and papa , I wish you all the luck and success in all the works you have started. It's a pleasure to watch you. Thank you for sharing it with us
Oh yes water features in the garden are a must-have and the birds and bees will be grateful. Also fantastic idea for central all utility room, makes good sense.
I am always so impressed how methodical and positively motivated you all are
Your vlogs are just magical. A huge pleasure as always
The entry door is beautiful! The stain's orange hue really plays wonderfully against the greens of the foliage. You have all done so much in the short time you have been at Puy Vidal.
This chataeu will absolutely be a sought out destination for guests that want to emerge in the 16th century . I am continually enthralled by what you are doing. This was a brilliant decision to purchase for your family's new life journey..the painting workshops, future weddings will be a thriving success
Beautiful door and even prettier Mom!
Your mom did a great job on the stairs, landing and the door putting life back in to them beautiful the chateau is coming back a life once more.🌼🤗
Absolutely yes to a fountain in the courtyard! I didn't want this video to end. Please always keep your videos long. It really sets you apart...and it's the perfect excuse to settle in with a glass of wine.
Thank you for the feedback on the video length :) We are always struggling with "Is this episode too long?"
so many things happening to this beautiful place. ugh i love!!
The vegetable gardens look so lush with fruits of your labor! Kudos to all of you!
Your Mom continues to liven up the gorgeous, wooden doors with the large, ornate, silver knocker! And now the foyer and steps...beautiful restorations!
My goodness the views out of the bedroom window, which is under construction, are breathtaking, all of you working together make the work look easy. Your brocante finds are stunning!!!
Thank you for sharing your many new projects, adventures, dinners and laughs at your beautiful Chateau de Puy Vidal!!!
Unlike what a lot of foreign owners of châteaux do on RUclips, you share with your audience your experience of the country you now live in, the visits, the time off, your interactions with people and places, and it really makes a difference 🙂 In my opinion, as a Frenchman, lots of châteaux's owners seem to live in a bubble, so much so that at the end of the day, they could live anywhere on the planet and only the architecture could tell us where they are. Yet, it is important to see how people build for themselves a new life, through all the aspects. And that is what you do : you show your neighbourhood, the people around you, how you also live outside the château - in brief, a whole life.
So thank you for sharing with us the entirety of your new life here, and for taking us with you in your strolls and explorations !
(p.s : I hope everything goes well for everyone with the language learning 😉)
Maruka, Julie, Penelope, Carolina and last but least Robert, the depth and talent in your family is amazing, whether it be a small or large project it is done with such passion to ensure that longevity of the Chateau for the future, the elegance that is portrayed is certainly a master stroke of brilliance, beauty, craftsmanship and we once gain thank you for allow us to be part of this journey for the future of your family and the Chateau 👍😇🙏🇫🇷🏰 God bless you all 😃
❤️❤️❤️
That was wonderful! You have accomplished so much and the Chateau looks beautiful!
That message in French behind the wallpaper was saying that the Sconces were a little high (on the wall), I guess they thought they should be lower. What a fantastic chateau and grounds. I just came across you guys today because of the get-together you all participated in with Stephanie Jarvis. Love what your mother did with that door, and renovating that door knocker, and just everything, really.
Bonjour! Thank you so much for finding us and for your lovely compliments😀 Welcome to our channel and journey!
Thank you for the lovely and inspiring video. It’s so nice to see people actualizing their dreams as you all have done. And to do so as a family is even more amazing and admirable. Good luck in all your efforts and thank you again for letting us, the viewers, participate in this remote way.
I'd rent or buy a wallpaper steamer for prob $65. or $70. to remove all that wallpaper. It works so much faster & is less tedious. Don't forget to use wallpaper primer before you hang the paper.
Well done a beautiful work in progress! What a wonderful team! A fantastic chateau !
It makes me so happy to see all the work your family (and guests ) put in to make the chateau shine in its most beautiful way. ❤
Loved your Mom's fashion I am inspired by her taste and skill
Love all the effort you’re contributing to this magically beautiful property. Especially love that new wallpapers for the elevator. Thank you for letting us experience this magical place. 💝
Penelope is so beautiful I just can’t take it 😍
Hello from Texas. After soaking the paper towels with acetone, cover them with plastic(garbage bag) it keeps the acetone from drying out to fast and soaks into the adhesive better. It works well also on all adhesive glues on other objects. But be careful on painted surfaces that you don't want to remove the paint or guilde.
Great idea I wish I had thought of it !
When you work with a purpose of mind, you feel a sense of happiness, I admire all of you for your relentless determination, consistency, and discipline that you so happily show in your videos, I will continue to watch your videos that somehow takes us to another way of life; one that's away from cellular phones and computers, I feel so happy watching your video, somehow my character resonate to this kind of living so thank you for making a difference.
such great content everyone... you all are so accessible and so relatable. you are living in an exceptional reality and it's fascinating to see you all adapt to your new surroundings and add a new layer of history and intelligent decision making to your home. it's fun to follow along on your journey. thank you. continued blessings.
This is like 15 vlogs all smushed into this one, you covered so much!
It's fun to see your family dynamic a work. I like to see how Dad helps decide where to put the kitchen, etc. Old guys are smart. Listen to us. LOL. I'm 83 and know everything now. LOL
Everything is looking so good! The door, the floors, the walls, the garden and the mechanical room! Good job and can’t wait to see what else you do! Thanks for sharing
Such a beautiful property!
There are some really great carpet cleaning options these days that can make old carpet look new again so I think your carpeted stairway can look beautiful once you do that. The Chateau is really coming together and I am so impressed with all of the work ethic involved from each of you!
Yes, my thought too. Run a carpet steamer over the stairs. I’m sure it will come up well.
The doors you mom worked on came out so beautiful! Tiles would look lovely applied to the risers of the stairs your mom did. Painted risers always get scuffed and dirty, especially light colors. Looking forward to seeing the bedroom walls finished too. Love the wallpaper you bought. New flooring in the Pavillion rooms will make a huge impact and I love the color/style you chose. So much progress!!!
Oo tiles! What an excellent idea, we would never have thought of that. Do you think really small tiles? Or medium?
I love all the improvements and the excitement of the family. I’m cheering for you all what a wonderful experience.
It’s getting exciting as you tackle the larger projects and yes ….
You need a water feature!!
Watching from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦🌸
Love this chateau, it’s one of the prettiest. Can see why painters would love to sit in these surroundings for inspiration.
What a great video with so much variety. The town with the grottoes looked beautiful. The work is really moving along. Thanks so much for sharing.
A wallpaper steamer, makes life easier, it fly's off Great job guys ❤
The central utility room is a great plan! A suggestion, make it secure. A saboteur could take out all your utilities at once, quite easily.
I love all the elements of this video! Little bit of everyone and everything...I especially loved the music choices..Well done I can see how much more relaxed everyone has become in front of the camera since the beginning
That restaurant looked exquisite!
I can't express how much I look forward to your vlogs!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Iso love all the changes you're making to the chateau.
I always love watching your vlogs, the amount of work you have done in such a short time is amazing, love it.
Once again you have done yourselves proud! Just love, love, love your vlogs! Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. So appreciate it.
Wow, just when I think you can’t possibly top the last delightful vlog you do!
Well done all , and thank you for putting together an amazing update of all your latest restoration endeavours. Can’t wait for the next one and see the progress you’ve made.❤
Hi really enjoy this video that you have shared with us so beautiful shots of France thanku for taking us along, things are slowly coming together pity awesome
Such a lovely video. You all work so hard and are making some amazing changes bringing your beautiful chateau back to life😊❤️
It must be fun to be getting more guests now especially people who are designers & have great idea's for you. I wouldn't know where to begin. I love your vlogs its great watching your progress & everyone seems to be doing well together as family that is not always easy!
The garden is so wonderful. I wonder do they can the food from the garden? That would preserve it for years and the guest would always have an eating from the garden experience! Lovely💕
Ladies and sir, I really enjoy your content. I enjoy the fact you make it all about how you got to where you started and the process along the way. It’s very enjoyable! Keep the videos coming!! Possibly the best chateau channel that I watch, no drama just great content.
I agree, I can’t wait for another video to see what you accomplish. I love your decorating taste, the colors you choose, your work ethic. You aren’t afraid to get your hands dirty which I admire.
You all make a team that can accomplish anything!
What a way to start the week! You all are amazing! I can't wait to see that bathroom! Take care! ❤❤
❤❤❤and by the way.. your viewers would have to be the nicest people out❤❤❤all comments I saw were inspiring, nurturing snd encoraging❤❤❤
They absolutely are the nicest viewer they keep us inspired to do more videos
@@marucaleach8754 😊❤️we are just the nicest aren’t we ❤️😁 I know we all share a love of the things on offer in your videos.. the chateau.. the gardens.. the furniture.. the work involved in restoring this beauty back to its glory days… but we feel we are on the journey with you❤️
And the entry floor and stairs look so good!!
You might want to think about getting some rolling garden stools. Mine are about a foot tall, one has storage in the seat. I've found that when I was redecorating my 100 year old house, it was a great tool for working down low, painting base boards, etc because you don't have to get on your knees or even get up and down. You just roll along as you work. They're also good in the garden. Amazon has them.
There's no mark on the bottom of the teapot? You might be able to do a google image search.
Such a lovely vlog, you are doing a wonderful job of your restoration and all seem so happy. So nice to be out and about with you enjoying the French life you are living. Best wishes for a successful retreat.
Fabulous such joy xx❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love all the progress and hearing about your future plans as the adventure continues! 🥰
Maruca...you are a wonderful Mother and a huge help around the chateau! Also a good cook...still waiting for you quiche recipe!!! Yum!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
We have not forgotten the recipe, it will come
Oh good...recipe vlog!?♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
I so enjoy your videos, your mom has done a fantastic job on the floor 😊❤
You are doing such good work! So satisfying to see the wallpaper come down, the carpet come out…and the doors look beautiful!
Momma you did awesome reno on that door. Wel done.
Fabulous job everyone! The cleaned outbuildings and a dedicated plan for water, power and internet needs of the Chateau is a wonderful issue to address!! The refinished doors, walls, stairs and floors are just amazing (the tip for glue removal on the stairs-going onto paper & into my home file-excellent work on the stairs!!). Your gardens are fabulous and lush. What this video shows is how you’ve all come together and formed a really effective and productive team to turn a Chateau into your home and place of business, all while running it with guests staying!! What a fabulous job you are all doing, breathe taking to see all the changes & I have learned so much from you while watching beautifully mastered videography!! Cheers🎉🥂🍾 to you!!
Your mother is great! She’s great at her renewal of all these old areas! So cool. She works steady and hard and it always looks great!!!🎉
Another beautifully crafted video. You ladies rock making Puy Vidal videos! Maruca-the door is exquisite. I wonder how many years it has been since it was last lovingly cleaned and stained and the beautiful door fixture polished? And I really had to chuckle at Penelope’s joy at removing wallpaper. You lucked out on how easily (at least it looked easy) those big pieces of paper peeled from the wall. I know you all work really hard on bringing the chateau to life, and yet the way you film and present the videos, it appears to be done with grace and ease! So lovely to watch-maybe because you pace the videos so well.
I love the outside door and the door knocker, looks beautiful and the details on the knocker can be seen so much better and enhances the door, the stair and hallway r beautiful as well, instead of painting the risers on the stairs, some beautiful wallpaper would look good there also.. thx for sharing and all of I r doing a wonderful job♥️🌹
You guys made my day! Love when you put out a new vlog. I watch the old ones over and over.♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Enjoyed watching this again - such a lot of work done and improvements made. So looking forward to the next!!
The doors look stunning and can’t wait to see the new floor! Glad you are doing SO well!
Oh my God, the floor! It is perfect! How your Mom managed to match the stains???
It is PERFECT 😍you ladies are amazing! Painting the tiles is brilliant! WOW!
Oh my! You have been busy. I can't wait to be with you in just a week and paint all things Chateau including that beautiful blue and white china. Also, don't take that old umbrella off the wall!! A great still life, right there. So excited for our painting workshop retreat, meeting you all and all the travelers heading from all over to enjoy the beauty you and Chateau de Puy Vidal provide and some painting tips from me!
What a wonderful video! And that shot of the castle in the moonlight at 7:21, wow!!! ❤
Putting together the electrical room will prepare for the future as well. This is off topic but a Renaissance style tent for the grounds would be nice. Also there are videos that show you how to paint the colors and heraldry or banners etc. And make it specific for the Chateau. And the ropes and tassels for the outside.
That would be amazing for a party or dinner in the gardens
We would love love to do that
Loved this episode - you all are definitely hitting your stride 🤗
I enjoy your videos so much. So well done and packed full of great content! You’re definitely my favorite channel!
So wonderful!! Thank you for sharing the beauty of your Chateau (a favorite) and life style with us! Much love from MA💕
I enjoyed seeing your beautiful progress so much. I look forward to your vlogs and hope I can visit some day.
Amazing Episode!❤ so great to see the progress! You must be thrilled yourselves when you complete yet another project so well accomplished!🎉 Will there be a rug in the hallway where the floor was refinished to compliment the carpeted stairs ?
BTW the brass accents or ornaments on the chest are called Ormolu .
Stunning chateau with such elegance and character!!! Keep on Keeping on!! 😂 Fine work and All the Best
Amazing progress! Everything looks so beautiful. So happy for all of you. Thanks for sharing. I always feel like I am there with you. Such a gift! Janice from Arkansas USA

Love it when i see you have a new video up. They always relax me. I'm having a health issue now that needs some diversion🤕. Your dear family is always a welcome distraction. Keep up the good work. Your vlogs just keep getting better. And they have always been great. Hugs to Troubadour.
Good luck with your healing

Absolutely fabulous Chateau. Love everyone’s dedication to your family home and each other. Thank you for keeping us on your email distribution list. My husband and I hopefully will see you one season. Best of luck
I taped a frog in my backyard, with all of our rain there must have been a puddle somewhere. It’s a peaceful sound. Now that the heat was turned on the frog is gone
Another wonderful video! So enjoyed it! So many projects going on, looking forward to your next video!
It’s 10:26 PM in Long Beach California and I tell you it’s so refreshing to see your video your new post. It takes me away from all the craziness that’s going on here I don’t even watch television or any of the crazy news. All I know is that it’s so beautiful to see your videos, I am so happy for you and all your family who got away from here and into a beautiful part of France. I pray that one day I get to visit you and all the beautiful area you live in now . bye for now Rosemary, Long Beach, California.
We hope you can visit too! 🤓Maruca
So Nice to have the joy to watch the beauty of your Chateau. Un saludo fuerte a tu mami desde este pedazo de Patria Mexico, visitando mi tierra y resolviendo cosas, casi no tiempo para disfrutar sus videos, pero finalmente me di un tiempito y estoy aqui.
BTW...couldn't hear the frogs singing because of music. Bet it was beautiful. Love your vlogs! Wish you did more!!♥️♥️♥️♥️😘
Well, this was definitely worth the wait. You got so much done and did some beautiful sightseeing. You even had a georgeous dinner in a chateau setting. I really love all of the improvements. Maruka, the door and floor looks beautiful. ❤
Your mom did an awesome job with the door, stairs and floor. Loved the visit to the Venice of France. Definitely want to go there. Your projects will definitely make the chateau a shining star. Thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful video. Congratulations on the amazing projects you are completing. Thank you for sharing.
Hi family you are so cool !!!! waiting for new videos from you all...Greatings from Tenerife
