My compliments to the “editor”… the “commentator/tour guide” seems a bit scattered in his showing of the ‘moat’… I believe Judy may have slipped Phillip a bit too much wine beforehand. Love you all for sharing your journey
Moat / ditch…. Also dirt ? This is soil in English 😂. And one other thing why do you need so many bathrooms in the chai? Or is this cloakroom facilities? Language, I love it!
Karen, I will admit, on Phillip's behalf, that trying to explain the Moat that once was is very difficult. I am working on a drawing of the layout of the original Chateau (mostly surmised as there is so little information). Once I have a drawing we will do a comparison video that shows where the old Moat was, what became of it, and what remains.Thank you for watching and commenting!... PS, Judy would never share!! LOL
Brownow134, Now I am curious... where do you reside? On the west coast of the US where we came from, especially the Pacific Northwest where I grew up, we would use dirt. Soil would be a word that farmers or fancy garden shops would use!! LOL Thank you for watching and commenting!... PS, the bathrooms below will be for large gatherings happening above where lots of beer will be served, and you know what happens when lots of beer is involved... Pee pee pee pee hee hee hee hee... :)
Wow...Judy's wine tasting is a hit. When I drink wine like that my alter ego comes out too...her name is Carol as in Channing. A couple of glasses and Carol is singing the songbook of Pink Floyd. It's amazing what good wine can do!! Loved the tour as well, so interesting to see the outbuildings. Cheers from LA!!
Michael, I am trying to imagine Carol Channing singing Pink Floyd, and it is hurting my head! Like Ethel Merman doing disco!!! Thank you for watching and commenting!
I know Mark is probably not too keen on this idea, but I so agree with Phillip, the burlap sacks would be such amazing pillow covers & even more amazing upholstery covers for Chateau Avensac!! Would love to see this! But, if not, please put them on your Merch site so we can purchase them for our homes as a keepsake of your one-of-a kind chateau!! Clean or dirty sacks, no problem!!Thank you Mark, Phillip & of course, the lovely, lively Judy❤️. 🇺🇸
Really enjoyed this tour of the exterior and chai. Philip’s explanations were intriguing. Always laugh at the behind the scenes commentary. Judy is lovely with her strands of pearls and curly hair. Maine USA
Hi Phillip, I didn't realize how big the grounds are, the Chai, is very interesting, I love looking at all the old things from the past. You never know what treasures are waiting to be discovered. Loved seeing Judy, my kind of lady, who loves her wine. Nice to meet Rebeca, great video today. Love from N.Y.
Joni, Our grounds are just beyond manageable, we can keep on top of most of it, but at times it gets away from us. Lol, Thank goodness we do not have masses of extra acreage! we have 7 acres now and I would not want anymore. Judy sends her love and Thank you for watching and commenting!
I enjoyed that so much! It looks like you guys are making great advances In your beautiful Chateau. I love the creative nature of your videos and their clever editing. Im so sorry about your hoarding problem but I will say that your 14th century hoarding is superior to my 19th (1850) century log cabin problem . But those marvelous beams way up there are awesome . Here in the Southern USA we would cut those barrels in two and use them as planters. Their naturally rustic nature makes plants look marvelous. It’s nice to see JUDY has come back to help with tasting the vino. I noticed that she always pours enough wine to marinate a 5 pound Coq. How is mark doing ? Is he recovering? Best wishes to you all for a marvelously successful Chateau life. Greetings from Rosa, AL USA!
Babe-the shoooze! lol Judy, I couldn't help but notice your gusto in exploring your new position, 'At The Chateau". It is such a pleasure to witness such devotion and work ethic in your latest occupation-truly refreshing! On another note, the Chai tour was very interesting. The building has such potential !
Bonnie Jean, first... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! and, when you get back here will you please dispose of that [articular pair of shoes for me? Hee hee, our love from France!
Judy & Rebecca were awesome! I LOVE Armagnac! A cool Armagnac and soda on a warm summer day in the south of France is delightful! Yum! This concoction is mentioned in a couple of Ernest Hemingway's novels. The history in those rooms is a well-kept secret.
nativetexson, I have had many may many scotch and sodas, but never thought of Armagnac... I ca't wait for summer now! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Reddragon, Cat Crap 🤣🤣🤣 you are the only one who has ever mentioned that little comment I wrote... Thank you ! and Thank you for your kind words. ❤️🇫🇷🏰🇫🇷❤️
Angela, you are correct, it is strange the things that were/are left behind. The cats actually love everywhere here!! LOL... if you want more of them, and if you do not know, after the credits of our videos there are out-takes, the cats are the stars of the out-takes of the last video. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Frank, I suppose I should say thank you for the kind words and for watching and laughing so much, but, Judy just told me I should tell you to go clean yourself up! LOL... seriously, Thank you!!!
Thank you I just love learning new terms and architectural features. You know, you could leave the ruined house as is - cleaned up of course - without a roof for an enclosed rustic wedding reception setting; a long wedding table.... lanterns and fairy lights open to the stars... could be enchanting. Speaking of wine tasting, those bottom chai rooms could be tasting rooms in a museum like setting with someone to explain the wine making process. So many possibilities avenues different from the norm.
Kyra, le pot de chambre a été ajouté à la dernière minute et nous en avons bien ri, je suis si heureuse que tu l'aies mis en pot ! Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté !
Diane, if you have not discovered them yet, visit www.atthechateau.com and click on Plans du Chateau there you will find the floor plans for the building and I think they are fascinating !! Thank you
The large barrel hoops would make beautiful lights for the chai. Hanging from the ceiling with the height would look amazing you just have to come up with a design.
Bev, that is actually a really good idea! I am working on buying a large group of old street lamps and they might just do the trick. Thank you for making my design sense start to whirl !! ❤️❤️

Second, now I must spend immense amounts of time responding to each of your one million comments, and for each I Thank you one million times. Thank you for binge watching the channel. I am sure you were able to see a great arc in the style and quality of each video as we learned more and more about how to film, edit, and put them together. We still have drawbacks (we need a good camera) but every video I always hope is better than the last. Welcome to the Avensac Family ❤️❤️ Mark and Phillip
Great vlog guys! Those extra large wine barrels would make lovely saunas - that style is actually in production. Just another project to add to your list, lol
Hiris, Thank you for the suggestion! Those barrels have not been used in 100+ years, so I am not sure how much water they would hold ! 😂😂😂 Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Hi Phil another great video so enjoyed your tour Your videos are really up there in chateau restoration Love love your presentations Great to see you keeping the ambience of how to keep a chateau livable with out destroying all the beautiful character Kay from Australiaxxx
Kay, Mark here, I will say thank you on Phillips behalf, and thank you for your lovely words, we really appreciate it. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Please keep the snarky editorial comments coming! I laugh so hard!! And Ms. Judy keep drinking wine the way it was meant to be drunk, one gulp at a time😉
Jeff, now why would you think that I would have added such a sound effect??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for noticing ! So many of my little touches go unnoticed. Mark
you crack me up guys :) i spit backwards :D lol wow , so many outbuildings , love it . i bring the discoball :P and can i be in a chateau hoarders episode ? i am as bad in hoarding . love Betty
Chateau Delannoy, (Betty) We do all of our Judy segments on the fly, and when I blurted out that I spit backwards, there was a brief pause, then Phillip started laughing, Rebecca started laughing, Susie started laughing, and finally me. We had to stop the camera and laugh it out. I have most of it on camera, and you can see the very beginnings of it in the video. I will say, we have so much fun doing the Judy segments. Most likely I will take you up on doing and episode of Chateau Hoarders because I think we are onto something big!! LOL, Thank you for watching and commenting!
Cynthia, You hail from where we came from, Healdsburg! Fairly close anyway. I am glad we can put a smile on your face. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Chantal, It would appear that Judy has a new fan, and she is giggling in the corner. We try to shut her up but she just keeps running her mouth... I suspect she will get us all in trouble one day ! ❤️❤️
Hola Chicos!! Great CHAI and amazing outbuildings! Could be also some Gites¿? & Judy wine tasting with Carol was fab! Love wine both Cabernet Sauvignon & Sauvignon Blanc, we produce lots of it in Chile!! Find more alternatives to fill the Chai, Love from far south!
The barrels are fantastic. I would use them as planters. As for the burlap bags, you could make faux French fashions and sell them to Lucy Ricardo. She falls for everything. How did you NOT stop at that statue outside? I'd love some intel on that. LOVED the Frau Blucher reference. I love the out-building. So much you can do with it. Wedding venue? Maybe I'll find out in a later video, but does your chateau have a chapel?
Peter, The barrels are so old I do not think they could withstand being cut in half, I suspect they would fall to dust. Bt they do make great set dressing. You are right, we need to do a statue chat. There are three of them plus one hand, you know, just in case you need a hand. 😆😆😆 Thank you
Hi Maud, I did not know this. They are using the piece 'Borderless" as their opening piece, and we are using it as our closing piece. Ha ha haaaaaa... A roll of the dice I suppose. RUclips provides music that is available to all without any license fee. To buy into one of the music services is very expensive and we will have to wait. When that moment comes I know exactly what music I want ! Thank you for watching and commenting!!!
Jacquelyn, there are not many around that have not been converted to other uses. It is crazy that so much wine used to be made here. Maybe someday we will acquire some more land and grow grapes! 😆 Thank you
Svg 733, ha ha ha, a flood... The bags are sand, and that is how you purchase it here in France. It comes in great big bags... go figure 😆 Thank you Mark
Cyd here. Do you have any information on the statue that is in front of the chai? Loved Judy and fun with wine. Wine if fine, but when I drink it I can't feel my face. Good night Frau Blucher where ever you are...a horse whinnies in the distance.
Cyd, all we know of the statue is that it supposedly St Peter. We put rabbit ears on him at easter. (South Park reference) Your comment made me laugh and I thank you!
Absolutely we will have subtitles. But they take 24 to 48 hours, and they will be available in multiple languages. Thank you for watching and commenting. It’s very appreciated.
Brownow134, I wish that they were fruit ladders! but, it is simply a very tall wood construction ladder. Phillip loves those fake crocs that he where's around because they are dirt cheap, and they look terrible. He forgets that all of him is visible on camera at certain moments, and he has proper boots and wellys, but he just won't wear them! LOL... As always, thank you!
L Camp, moat, fosse, ditch, trench, dike, culvert, ravine, gutter, drain, stank... so many choices! And I adore your comment, so bard like! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@atthechateau Probably not as bad as you think if the rafters are in decent shape. Of course a railing up there would be needed and some stairs but those can be against the wall. If the rafters are solid, no reason the floor can't just be improved and what isn't being used just take up the floor and open it up to the roof. If you get an inspector in there just to evaluate the beams, good and simple start to answering the question.
Sherry, once we are done with everything and all of the furniture is unpacked, we are going to clear out the rest. We need some space to store new things!!! Lol.... Thank you!
In my opinion, their dream of an American castle in France risks turning into a French galley. Their project does not fit with the local reality, the culture, the landscape, the history and the Gascon identity... it will be very complicated for them.... many English dreamers have already paid the price....
Itsasederki3533, I am curious as to where you derived an “American castle”. We own a french chateau in one of the most beautiful areas of france. This Chateau and its predecessor have been here for over 700 years, fitting in with the local reality, culture, the landscape, the history, and the Gascon identity. We are bringing this Monument Historique back to life, and be very true to its origins. This is a French Chateau in France that happens to be owned by Americans. I am sorry that this concept is not clear, and we will make sure that the point is well understood in the future. Thank you for watching Mark

I wanna be bff’s with Judy!!😂
wrinkles & sprinkles, Judy wants to know if a pajama party with records would sound fun??? Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@atthechateau Sounds great! Plus some adult beverages. ✌🏼
Secret garden
RT3 BOX6 TX, a secret garden is a good idea! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi!! Great vlog!! Can we get subtittles ? All the love from Brazil
Absolutely we will have subtitles. But they take 24 to 48 hours, and they will be available in multiple languages. Thank you for watching and commenting. It’s very appreciated.
@@atthechateau English will do!! I got confused about the name of the barn (?)... lol
Chai. It’s pronounced like “shay”.
@@atthechateau tea?????
@@dricajunqueira3159 Same spelling, different pronunciation. Chai is a storage for wine.
I’m American, I would call it a ditch too 😝😝😝😝
Terra... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Are those ‘A’ step ladders in first side of Chai for fruit picking?
Foot wear. Mmm I feel more appropriate shoes / boots for a chateau😂 are required!
Brownow134, I wish that they were fruit ladders! but, it is simply a very tall wood construction ladder. Phillip loves those fake crocs that he where's around because they are dirt cheap, and they look terrible. He forgets that all of him is visible on camera at certain moments, and he has proper boots and wellys, but he just won't wear them! LOL... As always, thank you!
@@atthechateau ❤ps he is adorable so we will forgive him!!
Judy, Judy,Judy😂

Linda, Judy send her love!! :) Thank you for watching and commenting!
Alexandra, :) and Thank you for watching and commenting!
What’s in a word? That which we call a moat, by any other word would be as deep (as a ditch).
L Camp, moat, fosse, ditch, trench, dike, culvert, ravine, gutter, drain, stank... so many choices! And I adore your comment, so bard like! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@atthechateau If you copy, always from the best! 😊 What a List! Fosse and stank aren’t even in my passive vocabulary!
What about a loft for musicians or a DJ instead of taking out the whole second floor? Leaves more room for tables/guests/cake or food tables.
Steph, you have shown out a little food for thought! Perhaps an engineering nightmare, but we will think on it! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@atthechateau Probably not as bad as you think if the rafters are in decent shape. Of course a railing up there would be needed and some stairs but those can be against the wall. If the rafters are solid, no reason the floor can't just be improved and what isn't being used just take up the floor and open it up to the roof. If you get an inspector in there just to evaluate the beams, good and simple start to answering the question.
I want to go wine tasting with Judy!!!!!
Peter, anytime !! ❤️
@@atthechateau I'm going to hold you to that. Tell her I spit backwards as well.
Don't a lot of people who own chateaus also hoard thing?
Sherry, once we are done with everything and all of the furniture is unpacked, we are going to clear out the rest. We need some space to store new things!!! Lol.... Thank you!
Restore the -ditch- moat!
Make moats great again.
ga gamba, our poor moat... it is one the list !
Thank you

In my opinion, their dream of an American castle in France risks turning into a French galley. Their project does not fit with the local reality, the culture, the landscape, the history and the Gascon identity... it will be very complicated for them.... many English dreamers have already paid the price....
Itsasederki3533, I am curious as to where you derived an “American castle”. We own a french chateau in one of the most beautiful areas of france. This Chateau and its predecessor have been here for over 700 years, fitting in with the local reality, culture, the landscape, the history, and the Gascon identity. We are bringing this Monument Historique back to life, and be very true to its origins. This is a French Chateau in France that happens to be owned by Americans. I am sorry that this concept is not clear, and we will make sure that the point is well understood in the future.
Thank you for watching
