I think most people who watch regularly know Phil’s humour and know before clicking they were not really selling.
Exactly! Couldn't believe how some of the people on the live chat were getting their knickers in a twist about it. 😂
@@msaditu I don't wear knickers so I am knicker free...Maybe there will be A.I. knickers available for sale by Phil soon with a special chateau logo to for the knicker minded people.
There are other guys renovating a french chateau. Always let people believe they do that for their own living dream and now it's finished they sell it. I wonder when all the patreons realize that they throw their money in a developer... Crazy Crazy.
I would never believe that our two cuties here sell it, but if they would, I would lose my believe in mankind. 🥴😁
@@jorgschwantje1239 I wouldn’t mind, they are renovating it to a very good standard. There aren’t a lot of people with skill and taste who will put all the effort, time and money needed to do this. It’s almost like crowd sourcing restoration. But a château for this size and age will never be ´done’ and they may want to move on one day if it becomes to much. Not that I wouldn’t be horribly sad if that were to happen.
I'm autistic and Philips jokes are sometimes hard for me to get because he always speaks in the same tone lol. Thankfully the comments tend to clear things up :)
I'm so happy that you gave us the opportunity to show Benoit how much we care about him!
I am so happy for Benoit! Anna and Phillipp, thank you for starting this fundraiser for your dear friend. It's great to know that there are still many good people in this world. Get well soon, Benoit!
💞 well said
I obviously missed what happened to Benoit, will someone update me? thank you
Happy to see Benoit at the end! I pray he is doing better each day and the pain is less. The girls are loosing their baby faces… growing so fast!
I must really congratulate you on the Gofundme for Benoit, it was so successful and showcases the incredible power of group though and action. I am so happy that it gives him some respite and I pray that he heals well.
Benoit is worth listening to. An exceptional eloquent speaker when put to the test of time to get across what he wants to say.
so happy to see Benoit and know his hand is healing. thank you for letting us all know so we could help him. Benoit can thank us all by promising to continue to tease Philipp and bless the chateau with his great wood working skills. thank you both, Daphne and Ian, for setting up the gofundme so we could help. the world really is a good place hugs.
It was so wonderful to see Benoit, and hear in his own words how profoundly this will change his life. You have done a wonderful thing for him.
What a beautiful holiday! Glad you can take an occasional break from renovations like this.
It was so nice to hear from Benoit and thank you Philip and Anna, Daphne and Ian for launching the fundraiser for such a deserving man. You are Angels!
What happened?
Oh my, well Benoit was cut quite severely by one of his big saws, so Phillip, Anna, Daphne and Ian (a young couple who own a Chateau and who are helped by Benoit as well), started a fundraiser to purchase Benoit a safer saw, which he is now using to do his wonderful work work.
@@normamurray4450 Thank you for letting us know. That was really kind of them to do! Safety is very important!
You are very welcome! Yes, safety is very important.
I think everyone that was worried about the title should have kept in mind who came up with it. Philip’s sense of humor 😂😂❤
The sincere gratefulness conveyed by Benoît is more than thanks. It was my pleasure to donate to his safety. I wish I could give him a great big hug. I hope you recover soon Benoît.
My heart is full, watching your beautiful family explore such incredible places, the restoration of the chateau, and Benoit…Thank you for sharing it all!
I had a wonderful mother-in-law also. She was incredible and our children adored her. We lost her to breast cancer. She was ready to pass over as after five years of surgeries, chemo, and radiation, the doctors could do nothing else for her and even with pain meds she was suffering so. We all told her it was fine for her to rest now and said our good-byes but we, I, miss her so much. I’m so thankful for all the years I had with her love enveloping me. This was a really nice video.
Happy to see Benoit is doing so much better. Keeping him in our prayers for a speedy recovery 🙏🏻❤
Benoit is so cute! Glad his hand is healing well. ❤
I loved your adventure! I love the South of France so much that I bought a property there to fix up and live in the non-summer months. Next time you visit the south, check out the Languedoc-Roussillon region. That is where my property is and it is so beautiful there.
Ah Benoit, you are an integral part to this International, RUclips community that Anna and Philipp have created. We await your return to trading barbs with Philipp. Don’t be a stranger during your recovery, and have some fun remaking your workshop. Best wishes from Washington, DC!
I'm so happy for Benoit, what a wonderful man. I wish him a speedy recovery and return to his soon to be completely modern workshop!
We love exploring the South of France! I was about to comment and mention one of our favorite villages, Uzes, but then you showed it! 😄 We loved seeing St. Paul de Vence as well. So much beauty throughout France!
So happy to see Benoit and hope his healing continues. I hope he goes to a hand therapist for therapy to strengthen his fingers. ❤
When I read "Selling the Chateau" I nearly started to cry. But I'm so happy for guys a well deserved break I think .❤❤❤
I actually yelled 😊
The name "Avignon" activated something in my brain from ages ago, started singing immediately along with the girls 😄 Glad you had a gorgeous vacation!
Bless Benoit! I am thrilled lovely things are happening for him and his family. Thanks for taking us South....how lovely that was!🥳💕🌻
So glad to see Benoit on the mend. Who else is there to keep Phillip in line?!! Speedy recovery!
They had a delicious edible flower tea...perfect for tourists and the French❤
Glad to see Benoit is expected to heal with use of his hand. What a great get-a-way!
So glad Benoit is healing nicely ❤
Benoit's humility underscores his considerable charm. as a life long amateur woodworker I can relate in a very small way. the bad luck was unfortunate, the good luck well deserved. best of luck Benoit
It is so heart-warming to see Benoit doing so well. As bad as it was his accident could have been worse. To be part of this community and actually have the ability to help Benoit like this is pretty amazing.
It was wonderful to see Benoit. I am so happy that he is healing well. I am really glad that fundraiser has gone so well! Love from Vermont
I lived in vt for a few years!! Loved and miss it so much!!
Greetings from California
Being also a Normandy resident, I can totally understand your desire to escape to the south of France.
Very nice documentary as always and the fundraiser's success for Benoit showed the strength of your community.
I wish him full recovery and looking forward the upcoming projects.
I like how the parents aren’t afraid to show the whole RUclips world when their first daughter talks negative.
Thank God Benoit is recovering well. ❤
So enjoyed this! Lily is such a bright one! So impressed as she explained the aqueduct. Ella spotted a handsome boy in a black and white striped shirt...OH NO!!! Philipp starting the color bloom trend is so happening! And to end with our beloved Benoit, it was a perfect holiday! Thanks for taking this American on a magical South of France holiday- vicariously enjoyed it very much!🥰😘
Philipp and Anna, this was a beautiful video. From the beauty of the locations, scenery, the children, and the music I thoroughly enjoyed your wonderful family vacation. Your mom is lovely and the girls love for their grandparents and vice versa is something to cherish. Ending this video with the update from Benoit, his appreciation for the contributions and outpouring of love touched my heart. xx
Glad you enjoyed it!
How lovely! Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer is one of my favorite places to visit. Have been there several times. Thanks for taking us along on your trip south! Nice to see Benoit as well. Wishing him a speedy and thorough healing. So nice what you all did for him, and so generous of the donors. What a loving community you have built here. ❤
I loved your trip. Thank you for taking us along. The trip inspired Philip. I could see his wheels turning in his head. Dreaming of future endeavours.
BEAUTIFULLY edited, Phillip!
Thank you for taking us along on vacation, my memories of our trip came flooding back and I can't wait to return again one day.
your kindness to benoit and his immense gratitude brought me to tears. lovely lovely human beings all of you
What a beautiful video. Thank you for the tour of south France and for the update on Benoit. You all make the world a better place.
I'm so happy to hear Benoit is on the mend and that the donations have been going well. He's the kind of hard working, caring, humorous and kind person that, when he needs help, would probably be the last one to ask for it but there are so many others who are more than willing to reach out and give him a boost when he needs it most. Your trip looked wonderful. The girls are really growing up quickly.
You Always Get me amazed every sunday show you deliver! I cant help but keep loving how the story evolves...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm no longer able to travel, so thank you for taking us with you on the trip! The girls are really growing so fast!
Love Benoit, thanks for the lovely work he does
I love Arles, I used to live in Nimes for a while. A close friend just bought a house in the centre of Arles and keeps inviting me so maybe I will go after the summer. Lovely !
I am so sorry for Benoit's accident. I grew up in a family of carpenters 5 brothers and my dad. Once when I was 2.5 yrs old I got my fingers too close to the blade of a table saw and lost quite a piece from the top of my wedding ring finger. My brothers and father have had some accidents over the years. I wish Benoit a swift recovery. I loved the trip with you and the girls. They are growing up so fast. I am full of joy that you're not selling your home. I love phillips sense of humor he is so dry. I think you are a wonderful mom. Hello and love to the family from Nova Scotia , Canada. We live in a beautiful province. Look us up on Maps sometime.
The girls are so lovely and have their golden personalities.
🥰🥰🥰
So happy to see Benoit recovering well ❤❤❤
I am so glad that you got away for a wee break and I love hearing the girls speaking french....wonderful! What a lovely holiday....so happy for you all and what a blessing that these towns are so close to where you live.....so much to see. Thank you for taking us along!
That was a lovely trip down memory lane for me. We used to vacation in the South of France when we lived in Paris during the summers and they were magical indeed. We are craving some warm weather here as well. Very nice to hear from your good friend Benoit, wishing him the best.
I feel as though I'm living in France! There is a gentleness in these programmes, a subtle and artistic flavour that is unique. I had no idea as to how stunning the South is... Thank you for your humour and delightful positive approach to all your pursuits, in a world that is full of negative news...
Love that you share this amazing journey with us. I hadn’t realize how much Roman influence there was in southern France. So happy to see Benoit looking good. Praying for a speedy recovery ❤❤❤
It’s amazing to see the girls managing three languages at ease. Do have a “system” or something as a family ?
I must have missed it. What was the other language (besides English and French)?
German
Im glad Benoit is doing well 😭❤️❤️❤️❤
Hello Benoit, I am so pleased your work-space will be fitted with safe machines so you can, after fully recovered, continue your wonderful work and creations. Angel blessings and healing for your poor fingers. Xxxx❤
Love your travels! Thanks for bringing us along!
I moved to Dordogne during first lockup and it is sooooooooooo hot. First year we cooked and lay on the tiled floor in the dark in August then we got slightly used to it but last summer 45° in the shade was again too much. Luckilly the building is so old it has all marble floors and thick walls. Do I regret the Mayenne, NO NO NO !
This video is perfect simply perfect it looks like I watched a stunning documentary without being bored, the curation of clips, the interaction of Philip and his family along with the music, the architecture, the history, the garden, all were amazing.
Its been so long since I have watched such a masterpiece on RUclips.
You guys are amazing❤
Glad you liked it!
It's good to see Benoit in high spirits.
You guys are amazing human beings to help a friend like this, iam speechless how kind you two are and how everyone came together to help your Friend.
You all surprised my memory banks when you traveled to my old home of Provence. I lived in Salon de Provence and I used to go over to Avignon for shopping. I bet the girls would love the sand (not stone) beaches when the summer heat is on. So nice to see you Benedict, and glad to know you are healing and in such good spirits. Looking forward to seeing what you all have decided to do with garden around the gates.
What a lovely virtual trip to the South of France you have given us! I hope that Benoit continues to heal, and am so glad that the fundraiser will allow him to work in a safe environment!
Get well soon Benoit. You’re an awesome person. Please keep these videos coming.
Thank you always for sharing and taking me (and I'm sure I talk for all of us) with you on a rich and happy family vacation.
Wish you the best.
Thank you for this, you have brought back some lovely memories of trips to Amsterdam and The Netherlands with my late partner. We had some amazing times and, if he was still here, he would be able to confirm whether we visited here and ate the pie... I think we did, but he would have known for certain 😢
Thanks for sharing your trip with us. The photography and scenery were wonderful. Continued good healing to Benoit. All the best from Vancouver Island 🇨🇦
Really enjoyed visiting there 13 years ago at this exact time of year! Sad, it was our last trip to Europe as my husband suffered a stroke on April 30th, 2010. We loved seeing it
To paraphrase Anna, this video is magical. It brought back so many memories. Having lunch in the courtyard in Avignon, walking across the Pont du Gard, sitting on the beach in NIce. Driving the wrong way in a bus lane trying to find the train station to turn the car back in.. In my superb/reprehensible French, we stopped and asked a road crew, "Ou est le gare?" In perfect English, one of the crew said, "It's just over there on your left." I love the French. Looking forward to another trip to France this fall.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an absolutely wonderful video and thanks for the tour of France. So happened I had my map of France open because I’m planning my summer trips there! I’ve noted some of the little cities you mentioned, so thanks. And it was was nice to see Benoit enthusiastic about his new shop - full of safety features, I’m sure.
You will certainly enjoy your tour in summer but don't forget it will be completly crossed at that part of the year.🌞
So happy to see Benoit! He looks well.❤ I am so happy he will get a newer saw with money raised for him. Philip and Anna, thank you for helping him, true friends indeed. Daphne and Ian too.❤ Loved the video of the south.....beautiful countryside, historical buildings, are my cup of tea. 😊
What a beautiful, relaxing vlog-thank you so much! I am happy for Benoit, who received such a positive prognosis for his recovery. ❤️❤️
Your daughters are lucky. I'm very happy for them. I was also blessed with parents like you and had a wonderful childhood. Thank you for bringing back those memories and virtually creating new ones.
Such a beautiful tribute to your mother-in -law and a birthday cake. By honoring our family we are showing or children the way (of course unless there is a real reason not to). Enjoyed the beautiful travels. So glad you could get away a few days.
It would have been better if they had included her on there getaway. Sad to leave her alone.
Once again you've taken us on a fabulous journey to see the south of France! Most of us will never be able to travel that far or experience the the beauty of that region. Thank you. Also, it is such refreshing news to hear that Benoit is healing and at the same time being shown how much he is loved and appreciated. Your videos are always uplifting.
love to see the history of your town where you guys live
What a wonderful feel-good vlog, beautiful places to visit, and the addition of seeing Benoit at the end! 💚
Thank you for taking us along on your mini getaway. Lovely countryside with mounds of historic history. So quaint, charming and picturesque. The girls enjoyed themselves. Such a happy family. 🥰
So pleased to hear from Benoit and to learn of his recovery. A new workshop vlog perhaps?
I was carted around the South of France a lot as a kid, you seem to have visited a lot of the same places my parents took me to. Hopefully your girls will remember more of your trips than I did of mine.
I am a woodworker and in the US there is a product called a saw stop which will literally stop the blade and drop in into the table within a fraction of a second if it detects the galvanic current of skin. It ruins the blade but will prevent accidents. I hope something like that is available in France. Best wishes to Benoit for a speedy recovery. His sardonic humor is a great leavener in your videos.
love you guys! ❣ thanks for taking us on holiday with you! x
Benoit, we are so happy to see and hear from you. Please take care of yourself, know that people all over the world care about you and your little fingers too ;-). Lovely video as always ❤
Thank you for taking us with you on an adventure to the south, enjoyed it a lot.
I was hoping we would see Benoit, a speedy recovery ❤
Your girls are living life to the fullest! They will continue in your footsteps!🗼
It was very nice to see Benoit, I'm glad he's healing and hopefully will be 100% well very soon❤
Lovely video! So many places I added to my travel wish list, and of course le fleur is on it already :)
Good for you. Wonderful to see your family enjoying a holiday. God Bless
This video remembered me of my visit to my aunt. We sailed in a rubber boat in the river under the pont du gard in the summer and it had hundreds of people in and on the sides of the river.
Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you so much for taking us on holiday with you. Such an interesting and informative Vlog. So good to see you both relaxing and unwinding with your lovely girls. Sending love and healing thoughts to Benoit. ❤
Beautiful trip. Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad the fundraiser was successful. 🥰
Loved it! Thank you. I loved the kids’ reactions and the honesty of family travel.
What a magnificent trip …..so glad you took us all along with you…I m very very envious. I m sure that restaurant got your brain cells churning with ideas for home and garden …bravo
Gorgeous! Reminds me I need to go back to France.
get well Benoit! you deserve everything! from Canada
Thank you for taking us on this fabulous trip! I loved the time you spent in Avignon. It was very interesting to learn about all those different plants! The ocean was beautiful. The whole trip was wonderful! Love from Vermont
Your daughters are a dream, so well mannered and well behaved, you both must be so proud. Im glad your holiday break went well and you enjoyed.
I was so happy the day we moved into our barn renovation project in 2020.
Here in Le bugue in the Dordogne it's an amazing. place.
Love watching you both. Xx
Hi everyone, we’re sorry for the late posting tonight, we’re having some problems with our internet which keeps cutting out!
What a lovely vlog…and then we had sweet Benoit, bless him. Well done Phillip, Anna, Ian and Daphne…..a real ‘feel good’ story
I love seeing the children running and having fun. Brings back great memories
Phillip you did a great job diversifying the vacation itinerary. Some of the best memories are created this way.
So happy Benoit is on the mend!
this was such a joy to watch :)
