  • A Fairytale that just begun! ♥️🍾
    We finally moved into our new home, which is this stunning french Chateau in the Charente region of France.
    We waited for more than 9 months, since we put an offer in!
    Now we are here and we want to share these magical first moments and impressions with you!
    We really tried to come up with some extra fairy dust; as this start deserves to be captured this way! You will see! 🏰
    Moving forward, you will be able to follow us along the journey of renovating the Chateau and building a business, where you can come and stay and relax on this amazing estate!
    This is the beginning of a new chapter for Chateau de Londigny!

Just because you are now in an amazing place, there are always times you will feel overwhelmed and confused. That’s normal and expected. Best of luck and I am looking forward to seeing your journey.

    I admire anyone brave enough to take on a chateau. These structures were build for different times....heating will be a challenge. I grew up in a castle in Ireland, it ticked all the boxes, beautiful, romantic, fairytale....but it was freezing....all the time.

    The entrance hall is magnificent! Do you keep pinching yourself to check you’re not dreaming? I don’t think you’ll ever get tired of walking around the chateau. In decades to come you’ll still be noticing things you never noticed before, and every time you do it’ll make it more magical for you. I think the announcement is a friend for Abby, or her own four poster bed? Or a heated kennel with its own pool, just for her? ❤❤ Welcome home!

      When the buyers restore the properties it is nice. There are restrictions on what to do on historical properties, but some owners make changes that do not go with the style of the property. They already say they "declutter" a room of furniture. That is not a good sign for me, when all of that beautiful furniture most likely only needs to be restored not put away.

    • @pamelawing5747
      @pamelawing5747 2 месяца назад +6

      @@PablaMMooreI look at it this way. Those beautiful buildings and grounds can just sit vacant, unmaintained, deteriorating more each year or they can be brought back to life and be a continuing part of French history. People live in them, love the, and share them. IF they don't keep all the furniture, I'm quite sure they find good homes for the pieces It seems that most owners do keep many pieces and have them restored.

    You have made an amazing investment and have a stunning start to it all. The internal gasps at all the art and artistry in EVERYTHING in the Château is beyond words to my history loving brain. Just, wow. If I were you I would be spending the first week going room by room documenting and making notes and a floor plan (always good for insurance purposes as well) to get familiar with it all. I would also spend a couple nights in each room to get a feel for each room and see what changes or tweaks may be needed/wanted in each room.
    Document the art with photos and make notes and prioritize what you may want to have cleaned or restored. Same with furniture. See what needs a good cleaning like lighting or upper trim work. For all of that, start a list of tools/equipment you may need. The son of the former owner can also help with that, so wonderful he will be around in some capacity! The communication will work itself out, laugh through the hiccups. Use a translation program as you learn. Laughter will keep you sane. Then when you have figured out the biggest things needed, like heat, make a list of priority. Since you are still settling, don't try and remember everything. Write it ALL down for now to make it easier.
    I cannot wait to see things room by room to get a more complete and coherent picture, and to hear what you call the "Knights." The armor and stained glass have me absolutely enthralled like a kid in the Wonka Factory. 😂 I also look forward to seeing what the rest of the property entails and encompasses. It really is amazing, my heartfelt congrats on your new home. You have to be so thrilled! 😍

Above all, be reminded that it came from God, not by our strenght, not by our intelligence but because of the LORD's favor. Enjoy his wonderful gift here on earth.😃

    Congratulations! I feel like you’ve bought a Narnia like Chateau of treasure troves! It’s a fairytale castle with so many beautiful features, including the proximity to the river. I’m so glad Abby is settling in, and you! Looks like you will cope with anything.. especially with the love of your dog there too!! Cheers!

    A wonderful video, so happy the 2.5 years journey can now continue. Full of emotions, plans, beautiful architecture and gardens and most importantly the nicest couple of "happy pants" . I have watched your channel from the first video here in AU and I would love one day to be a guest when all is completed. I hope you have horses again, and an option to provide guests riding experiences.. I love the foyer entrance ceilings, the urns out the front and that blue lamp inside, lots of treasures to be uncovered.

    I mean I saw it when you showed us before but I didn’t realize how much came with it! The furniture, decorations, just everything! I am so happy for you to be able to make such a huge change in your lives but at the same time I got so very emotional watching the beautiful videography that I teared up. I know you must be overwhelmed by the change but still it must feel like you’re living in a real fairytale. Well done guys and I hope to visit you one day from the US!

    Love, love, love everything about your move, Chateau, furniture, etc! Can’t wait for the next vlog. Very happy to see the suit of armour, for when things need to be sorted out! 😜
    I follow Karen Spencer from Althorp, where Dianna is buried. Love how she researches everything in the incredible 500 year old stately home. One recently was of the many lockets, and who owned them and what was inside. Maybe the previous owners son would be prepared to give us a short history of the Chateau. With subtitles of course!! 😱
    Until next time, enjoy settling in! 🍾🥂🍻

    I would come and help in your gardens but am afraid that I would be weeding and need assistance to get up again. Maybe, if I am still around, when you have opened up the accommodation business, I will be one of your first paying guests. A xx

    Absolutely fabulous!! I cant wait to hear the stories behind the chateau and the previous owners. So excited for the meaning behind the stained glass, statues and reference to knights throughout the house. The antiques are amazing and I could get lost in the library. Such amazing stories to be discovered and told.

    I read recently that horse and rider statues tell a story. If the horse has all four feet on the ground the rider was injured in combat but survived, if one leg is raised, they returned home but died from their injuries and if a horse is rearing then the rider died whilst in combat.
