You have your very own historical treasure. How exciting to see everything you're discovering.
What a truly beautiful and most precious blog…
The work you guys are doing is really breathtaking.
We need more people like you in this precious world.
With all of our love from Scotland 🏴
Xxxxxxx
thank you so much x
Wonderful to be able to trace the history, and to find the evidence of the fire screens and old copper kitchen ware, the old newspapers... and the wallpapers that tell the story too. Very precious.
The Chateau is going to be beautiful. What a wonderful project.
Its so strange to see a newspaper from Thüringen in your Chateau my homeland. I wish us all peace and leaders who seek it.
It would be so incredibly wonderful if you two could get 😊😊married and have 4 or 5 children to contribute to the effort, to restore the dream, and take it from you when your time is done!
WOW!! 😅 Oddly incredibly thankful the Germans of that tragic era WW2 recognized the importance of history and didn’t destroy the Chateau to rubble. When will humans have the wisdom to stop behaving like red ants against black ants?? Seems like such a loss of souls, potential greatness, resources, time and importantly loving memories!
Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the history of the Chateau and those wallpapers are just exquisite. Sending good wishes from NSW Australia.
Dear Tim, if I may, the duc d'Orléans was not the Louis XV's brother, but his cousin 🙂 Louis XV had no brother or sister 🙂 The Orléans family took its roots from Louis XIV's brother, Philippe (1640/1701). The Orléans were the richest family in France.
Apart from that, as I wrote on an other video, congratulations and thanks for the passion you have in this huge work of restoration. You and your wife are just wonderful and amazing ! You bought probably one of the most exquisite and beautiful château in France.
Brilliantly recounted and very moving. G Ire
We're thrilled you enjoyed learning about the Chateau's incredible past. Thanks for your message!
Love what you've done in the room! Do you find /restore any of the furniture in the house?
What are your plans to use the house in the future? I saw you mention in another video about weddings and conferences, are you also thinking of use as a hotel etc?
You had me absolutely riveted. Im going to be restless waiting for more.😁👍
thank you so much x
Love to see this home.
Just found your channel - this history lesson is beautifully done. What a job you have taken on!
Thank you for bringing this grand dames history alive.
Hi Tim and Flik, I loved learning the history in this video! Incredible how it has passed down through so many people, and changed families at times due to marriage and death. I am fascinated how you manage restoring the chateau whilst having to involve French preservation societies (and funding I guess). I hope they allow you to keep moving and not stifling you with bureaucracy. Maybe that just happens in Australia 😂🤪. Such a grand project will require a lot of time, and I am proud that a hard working Aussie couple have taken on this incredible project xx Kelly from Melbourne xx
right, they are sharing actual history. incredible,
What an amazing history Purnon had! Looking forward to it’s future lead you two & the work of many. Be well and stay safe! Love from America, Doc🇺🇸
Thank you! You too!
Great wallpaper, it nearly jumps out in 3D effect.
Great presentation and so well explained. Thank you for sharing. God bless on your massif endeavour.
Beautiful video with a lot of history!!!!!!!
Beautiful chateau.
I thoroughly enjoyed this!
thank you so much

Thank you! 😃

Fascinating! Enjoyed this very much. 🦋
pleasure
This episode was so beautifully and respectfully done. You have a new subscriber in Istanbul.
Thank you so much and welcome!
Amazing Chateau. Can you have the main entrance come through the beautiful gates again? Looking for to seeing your restoration.
Thanks Debbie. Potentially - we are in the process of assessing this at the moment.
Fascinating historical importance …looking forward to your chateau journey….I m assuming that you will be eligible for any grants to maintain and repair this building
Thank you so much for that fabulous lesson. Really loved how you showed the coat of arms, but what do all the symbols stand for?
Just subscribed yesterday. Really impressed with your attention to detail, it's really a mission you've undertaken.
Wonderful video. Thank you 🦘🦘🦘
our pleasure
congratulations for this very well edited video. It must have taken a lot of time to do. thank you !
Wow! I've just subscribed and started watching your channel. Both of you are amazing. The work you have started and already done to bring this beautiful chateau to life is outstanding. I look forward to future updates from you.
Thank you so much!
Your chateau is so beautiful and you are going about restoring her beauty in the proper way. It is such a privilege to watch your journey. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much!
Fascinating history - Thanks for this...
si le batiment n' est pas classé comme " monument historique " alors les propriétaires sont libres de leurs aménagements. Certains propriétaires , même si leurs châteaux sont classés aux " monuments historiques " refusent l' aide de l' état , financière et architecte agrée avec la condition de rénover dans le style d' époque. Alors...
@@didierjacob250 Merci
Ok, if it was occupied by the Nazis. somewhere hidden not to far from the house will be a bunker!!! Even the family on there return might have not known about it. Guessing if as I would think a high ranking officer took it over, they would have built one for himself and staff in case of bombings. I might be in the wooded area very well hidden. Sorry to be a downer!!!
Fascinating history I'm sure you will continue to find amazing things from the past .
The wall papers are fantastic can't wait for the next instalment it's such a beautiful property.
thank you for watching and following the restoration
Fascinating! 🦋
Thrilled you enjoyed it!
Exceptional historical information. So interesting. Beautiful place. This place deserves the restoration you are giving it. Wonderful that you have the capacity to do so, it must cost more to restore than it cost to originally build it. I plan to enjoy your adventure. Thank you for sharing. All the best to you from Memphis, TN, USA
pleasure - thanks for joining us
I love everything to do with this channel, the stunning Chateau, it's restoration, it's history, and all the sensitive and hard work going into it. That said, the banging piano does get on my nerves.
Love love love the channel. The music is so distracting however. It's the same 16 bars over and over again. Will stay a loyal fan. But change the music please?😳😬♥️
thanks for joining us and for your feedback
The music is also too loud in contrast with the volume of the speaking segments.
Nice music in the beginning but so very annoying when play right through the video . You dont need music , most videos overplay music and are destroying our pleasure . You get more irritated as you go along . I am trying to explain how it feel . The best site are where you dont even notice they play anything , because they play very little music , but the repetitive one is the worst . Having said this , l realy enjoye your story of this chateau , very interresting and very well told by both of you . It was perfect historically and the photos of the chateau as it was beautiful. I realy want to see more but l wil have to take the sound off sorry . Send love from Australia .
I like the consistency of the theme music. Use headphones to establish a set measurements for volumes for each sound track; speech and music. I loved editing classes. I like your production choices. It has a great style. I appreciate your hard work, style and attention to detail in both camera work and editing. Beautiful job.
Yes the music makes a nice intro ...but then maybe transition to actual period-music that represents each epoch of the house and the music that the inhabitants would have listened to or even played themselves at the time. It would be wonderful if they found a period pre-revolutionary harpsichord or clavichor to put in one of the larger salons.
Thank you for this vlog. Was very interesting. Good luck with the restoration it is an enormous undertaking. Please keep vlogging about it as it is such a beautiful building and will be so good to watch its transformation.
maybe they had a zepplin . up all those metal steps so high up, overlooking the beautiful country.. that was the first thing i thought as she climbed all those steps.. some kind of big ballon like a zepplin . why not, right? ti just love your videos. incredible.
I enjoyed that so much thank you
Our pleasure!
Little by little this stunning estate is opening up her secrets and beauty, what a wonderful thing you two are doing.
Alas, Tim supports the Cats and not the Dogs so the world will never be quite in balance. 😞
Here at Purnon, its all Cats when it comes to AFL... you'll be shocked to learn even Truffe supports the Cats! Thanks for following our journey!
An excellent vlog. I am very impressed by your attention to the long and interesting history of the Chateau. Cheers from Toronto
thank you
Fascinating. SO many "old world" clues. The shields...reveal a great amount of information. The wallpaper in the ground floor dressing room; very interesting historical information regarding commerce and the governmental machinations that impacted the economy of France.
I am quite taken by your channel and how you are progressing with restoration and sharing that progress. There is a greater focus on the actual RESTORE-ation process, and discovering the reasons, and the relationship between different aspects of your discoveries. I look forward to following your dedicated progress, and learning. #wakinganoldwoman #battlesfought #winsandlosses #commerce #mercury #vivelafrance #enguarde #allforoneandoneforall #Dartagnion (sp?) 😅
That wind turbine is wild! What other "antiquitech" have you discovered?
they could have boarded a zepplin from up on that turbined. why not?
@@3ForestAnimals I think you're on to something...!
Yes! If ever there was "steampunk" on a grand scale that wind turbine would be it! ...did it generate electricity or pump water? ...or both? It almost looks like something Nicholas Tesla could have invented!
Stunningly beautiful and amazing history. That blue and white wall paper was just gorgeous and almost looked 3D. Thank you for letting me come along on your journey.
You are so welcome
The history of those amazing wallpapers was fascinating to hear about.
Listening to you both narrate and host these videos is actually quite mesmerising, you are both gifted in many ways, highly intelligent and I’m so glad I’ve found your channel.
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled you enjoyed hearing about Chateau de Purnon's incredible collection of unique wallpapers.
It’s so lovely that there are people like you to save these a beautiful buildings. Love all the mystery involved in the paintings, and all the gorgeous clothing still intact. But mostly the care and love you have for the preservation of the history and the stories that belong to this chateau.
Amazing! Loved the beautiful film and capture of the history. You all are doing a superb job. Thank you for sharing.
Magnifique et instructif documentaire 👏
merci beaucoup
The windmill and its attending, darling structure are incredible. Please have it working again.
It's a wonderful piece of French engineering from 1900. We do hope we can restore it to working order. It's one of the best examples of this type of wind turbine anyway in France today.
What fabulous stories about Purnon! Thank you for generously sharing them. Do keep them coming. Hugely curious.......
What a phenomenal preservation job you are doing at Chateau du Purloin! I've been following your IG posts for some time but these vids on RUclips are just spectacular. Thank you for sharing this journey with all of us!
thank you so much
En mi humilde opinión, que soy alguien lega en la materia, ustedes han realizado un excelente trabajo de recopilación sobre la historia del castillo y es muy valioso el respeto con que están realizando la restauración. Se agradece la difusión que hacen de este gran desafío que están llevando a cabo.
Es destacable el buen gusto y la armonía en lo poco que llevan restaurado, lo cual es un buen augurio de lo vendrá a futuro.
Al mirar renovaciones de los interiores de otros castillos, me decepcionan las decoraciones ultra modernistas, que carecen del buen gusto y la elegancia clásica que merecen estos edificios históricos, que son también tesoros arquitectónicos.
¡Los felicito!
Wow...what a well produced and fascinating episode. The château has such a wonderful history and I look forward to seeing the restoration.
glad you enjoyed it
Love the history that you've uncovered!
Thanks for your message. We thrilled that you're enjoying our journey uncovering the history of this remarkable place.
Great video depicting a colorful and rich history. I look forward to seeing more
G'day. Thank you for that , fascinating to hear a little of the history of the Chateau, as i'm sure there was a great deal more colour to it. Thank goodness you are saving such a fine piece of French history, and a beautiful chateau. Good luck with the restoration.
thank you so much
Amazing! Keep up with the restoration of all this historical mansion.
I love learning about the history and families of these old houses.
We're thrilled you enjoyed learning a little of the history of Chateau de Purnon.
I would be terrified to climb that tower!!
What a beautiful building and the history is so interesting! Just a suggestion-less music and more talking. The video is lovely, but the repetitive music was too much. Loved it anyway!
Noted thank you!
When it comes to the garden you should plant some Rosa de La Haye
great idea we will absolutely do that!
The thing I love most about the stately homes and Chateaux of France, are their incredible stories! They are architecturally stunning and beautiful indeed but their stories and living history is always so intriguing! I have owned and restored two16th century homes in France, so I relate to your journey so much. I too left Australia to pursue that dream back in the 90s and shall never forget those incredible years! Best wishes for your continuing journey and bravo! 🥰🏰♥️
we completely agree - the stories of those who lived in these properties helps bring them back to life x
@ It absolutely does. It's so beautiful watching your work and your passion. Bravo!
Bravo et un grand merci!❤
Merci pour votre message!
i am glad that you are so interested in the history of the chateau and the french revolution. to find originals as well - that is an irreplaceable treasure
we love discovering the history of the château ... it plays an important role in its future x
What is the name of this music/artist? It is so hauntingly beautiful.
Thank you for the video and for sharing the amazing history of the chateau. Looking forward to the next one!
What a magnificent document of Purnon’s history. Thank you for sharing this very well done video. The wallpapers are stunning and so well preserved, it’s hard to believe that they’re nearly 300 years old. I am excited to follow your journey of this spectacular chateau so rich in history. You can now take your place in the archives of Purnon during an age when so many are going to ruin.
Fantastic episode of the history of this chateau. I truly enjoyed it! Well done!
thank you so much
La France c'est le plus beaux livres d'histoire
Merci beaucoup pour votre message!
This was a fascinating encapsulation of the history of Château de Purnon. Knowing the story of the previous owners really does even further enhance my interest in the restoration of the château. What a journey you are on - well done indeed!
Our pleasure!
Lived in till the 80s but poor roof making unliveable sadly, at least it escaped the modern vandels to allow you a wealth of crumbling interior to work from.
Fantastic to hear the history.
Hello!
Loving the history of your amazing chateau. I’m in Christchurch, New Zealand. I only dream of finding my own chateau to rescue and restore. I’m really enjoying your vlogs. Julia
Thanks Julia - I hope you find your dream chateau!
Hello - New sub here and completely enthralled. The chateau is so very fortunate to have you both as its next chapter and much needed restoration. What I think is a question is traditionally ,historically a chateau would be very much generational and I wonder how that would translate now . It will be an answer that can only be answered by time . You have found a true masterpiece and it seems to have been protected from graffitti and invasion by those that would do harm. So much of its story is still there . I am looking forward to watching and I like you, am in love with all of it.
Thanks for joining us!
@ Pleasure is totally mine ...
A good thing the revolutionairies did not trash all those magnificent chateaux 😀
I hope you print out some of the important names. accents in captions become garble. plus the music alters things. ahh you did. thank you your tops
Delahaye? The famous luxury car brand? How about some garage space at the chateau?..... 😎
Très intéressant ! Et beau château ! Grâce à vous, il va renaître.....
Bon courage, hâte de voir les progrès de restauration 😉😊
Thank you for the interesting and informative history of the chateau, it was very enjoyable.
I admire your taking the challenge of restoration so much work required and very deep pockets.
Thank you for taking time to document and share. Wonderful walk through chateau history.
To have the opportunity to live where your grandpa loved is its own treasure. I'm looking forward to your journey!
Curious if the chateau has always been inhabited? Was the last family member still living in the chateau upon his death?
Excellent information, thanks!!!
pleasure
It must have taken a small army to build that in the 18th century.
Very interesting history if only this beautiful chateau could speak xx
So true! We are slowly finding her voice and sharing it x
I watched this one a few days ago, but it's a very interesting historical recount. Why the repeat?
We had an issue with the music on the previous video so unfortunately we had to re-edit it and repost it. Thank you so much for watching it again x
What a treasure you have there. I loved the history lesson. Looking forward to following this huge project. Best of luck to you!
Would be interesting to establish a mini museum in the Chateau.
Incredible history and you both enthralled me by telling it so well. I look forward to the renovations and perhaps more stories.
Glad you enjoyed it
I love history and hearing the history of your chateau is so interesting.
thank you
the Jacobins were quite brutal and resolute in organizing, preparing and carrying out the revolution. heads rolled, decimation of the nobility, which bled the people dry for a long time. Ultimately, Robespierre was executed in 1794, a year after the execution of King Louis XVI. both lost their heads on the place de la concorde in Paris.
Louis XVIII. was the brother of Louis XVI.
he was born in 1755 and was able to flee into exile at the beginning of the revolution. After Napoleon's immobilisation, he returned and claimed the throne for 10 years until his death, albeit now in a constitutional monarchy
What a wonderful video, thanks for taking the time to put it together. The history is amazing and so interesting. Of course it adds to the beauty of your chateau. Thank you for being such amazing stewards and ambassadors. You both are incredible people for stepping up to rescue this incredible labor of love known as Purnon.
Thank you so much for your very kind words
Love the history lesson. What a privilege to restore this historical treasure. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
pleasure! thank you for joining us!
That was so interesting! Thank you for sharing everything you have discovered about this beautiful building. It is truly a treasure of French Heritage. ♥
I am beginning to understand from these small examples how important this project is to France and yourselves. It is most historic indeed. Hence the patronage of the state is not only important but vital. Well done you two Aussies!
Thanks for your message. Every chateau has its own story. For us here at Chateau de Purnon our priorities are preserving and restoring heritage and sharing our journey with a global audience.
Fantastic and informative vlog! Melbourne, Australia
thank you Kym
