    That corner now looks so cozy and iconic. I can imagine all the stories l, all the conversations that must have transpired at the front door of the Marquis. This is surely what restoration is all about. Like no other corner of any other home. You can just feel the history even on the other side of the camera lens and the subsequent computer screen.

    Hello Tim and Felicity! Just want to say that I am becoming more and more in awe of the skills of Original team of artisans / from the architect to the stonemasons, carpenters, decorators and others/ who have designed and built this Gem of Architecture in the 18th Century, 250 years ago! Every detail of the construction had its own purpose and thought of! The new discovery of the probable purpose of the door from the office was great to know, with more understanding about the classes interactions! Thank you and your team of modern skilled artisans for your every day hard work and dedication to restore this Magnificent Chateau! Greetings from the Silicon Valley, California

    I'm more and more certain, as I watch and rewatch, that you two are basically the ONLY people who would approach this restoration the way you have done. Thank you so much. I feel like I'm watching a UNESCO World Heritage Site come back to life!
    The usual approach to cleaning up the facade would, I'm sure, normally be to fake it with concrete and Hardiplank. And that's if they didn't just simplify the facade entirely. Very fine.
    Truly, I've been struggling for context to really grasp what you're doing. Watching again today, it occurs to me! La Sagrada Familia basilica, in Barcelona, is the only other place I've seen similar attention to detail and tradition being carried out by living people. ...Yeah... Wow!

    A building or structure is beautiful and serves a purpose. Purnon is such a treasure, but not just for the building we see. It is the time and effort spent on design, construction and decorating from the 1700s to today. It isn’t so much to me about the actual building but each individual artist or caretaker who has cared enough to do their very best for it. That is what makes it special. It forces people to take a deep breath and participate in history.

    Through small details of use, the story of the private door tells all about social classes in France at the end of the XVIII° century (and probably still today). When some chosen people were allowed to enter inside the château by the great door, some others were facing a closed one, outside, waiting for someone "from the château" to let them in… We can so easily imagine this scene from the past.

      Would you kindly show the tuffeau stone grafting process which you mention when explaining red marks versus blue marks? This, to me, is one of the most amazing parts of the chateau restoration, due to the fact that the craftsmanship and tools used for the stone shaping are seldom seen in the USA. I found it incredible that the quarter round shape on the bottom of the stone window sill would be hand carved in the field rather than precut into each stone in the shop. What an amazing vlog!!

    I am imagining the visitors to the Marquis' office not having to pass through the house, like gardeners or estate managers. Fascinating.

      Exactly. An interesting insight into how the chateau was designed to reflect the realities of 18th century life.

      Well, just because he needed to interact with them on business didn't mean that he wanted to have them in his home proper. Kind of the way a modern home office for someone who sees clients there has its own separate side entrance, etc.

    There’s an underground quarry just outside of my town, much like the one where Purnon’s stone comes from, that was used for much of the sandstone in Edinburgh’s New Town. Although it has been closed for a long time they do occasionally open it back up to get stone to restore some of the historic buildings there. The stonemasons are true artists the way they transform the stone. Their work is incredible. The design features on that door are remarkable.

      Thanks for your message. Our tuffeau stone comes from a quarry at Marigny Brizay - it's about 20 minutes drive south of here. Some of the original stone that built the chateau came from an abandoned nearby chateau at Brizay. We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the incredible skills of our stonemasons.

      A friend of our recently visited Europe with her mother but cannot fly due to a medical condition. They drove from West Coast to NY then took cruise over to drive around in central Europe for a couple of weeks then came back same way. Definitely more expensive in terms of money and time but it was her dream to go and she loved it.
