Lighting the fireplace with a pine cone and feeding the geese with bread leftovers.......what a lovely place!
It is indeed!! Thanks for stopping by!
Viral Videos Bread attracts rodents !
Very beautiful but ostentatious somewhat !
@@lesleythomson2823 : How Lesley? You're suggesting he should tone it down a little? Don't we have enough of that type of drab, boringness in the world today, as is?!

My God, what an incredibly beautiful place. Impeccable taste and sense of color. Wonderful sensibility as well. It was a pleasure looking at it.
Agreed Anna.
Takes my breath away! Thank you very much for sharing this wonderful chateaux and your experience visiting Tim.
+ShimiChic Our pleasure!! So glad you enjoyed!!
You've got everything in mirror! :)
Oh that chateau! It’s a home that’s easy to love ❤️.. I feel relaxed just looking at this!
It really is!
What an absolutely loving man..such warmth, care & consideration..a most Gracious Host !!!
He really is! We adore Timothy!
Utterly beautiful. Thank goodness he has the money as well as the taste to restore these treasures, and bring them back to life again
Really, the French government should give him Legion d'honneur for restoring this chateau.
Such a touch of heaven! Certainly, he is a grand host. They seemed to have a wonderful time and much was experienced about living in the Chateau as well as hearing and seeing, how it has come about. Absolutely lovely. Thank you!
It was a touch of heaven staying here with Timothy - he is indeed the most gracious host! I hope you have stopped by to see our "before" video of his "new" chateau (this one has since been sold). - Stacey (behind the camera)
@@quintessenceblg Thank you Stacey. Will take a look at the "before" video of the "new" chateau. Appreciate the videos and all you have done a fine job bringing this to us. Very special opportunity to feel like we are really are enjoying it all with you!
I absolutely loveeeee everything Timothy touches just wonderful!
Beautiful in every way. And Timothy is gracious, elegant and super-handsome. Exquisite!
I am impressed that each of the trees on his property are numbered, so they can foster each along accordingly.
After Caroline is Timothy I watched.He is such a good host and you can tell that he is such a passionate person.Love all his houses.He is well into his traditional decor business.He is very warm person 👍😊
What a charming host! He is clearly enjoying life!!
No, no honey, the 5 best words are “Let’s go to *my* Chateau!”.
;-)
What a beautiful chateau and such a charming host! What a treat to visit him and stay there.
Peggy Ekena It was indeed a treat!! If you haven’t already, check out our recent video with Timothy at his new chateau (this one has since been sold).
An amazing renovation. I do so admire anyone who can do that sort of thing and do it so well. What a charming and gracious host he is as well. Congratulations you did a good job.
Yes! Finally a renovation to a historic home that does not ruin it!
I love him! 🌸Such a stylish man! He loves the abundance of beauty. ❤️
Such elegance, oh my! What a great place to be a guest!
I love his hospitality!
So did we - beyond thrilled we were able to share!
Thank you for sharing!
CocoPaulette Yes, it seems you'd almost be begging for people to come stay with you. It's incredibly overwhelming & with its sheer size seems you'd feel all the more lonely thus desiring a shared experience. Truly, what good is this place if not shared? Spread the love. Now I just want to know wth kind of design he's been doing to afford this massive project & the current upkeep!
@@msl5131 I think she meant thank you to us for sharing our visit!
Try the garden salad and the ribbon pasta which taste awesome.!
Stunning! All that I can think about is how much all of that costed him.
A dream no less!
It's so great when places like this are owned by sweet, charming people. What a nice guy.
Excactly!
He is indeed!
Oleaginous nonsense.
So gracious and beautiful!
This Man/Person Really Deserve to Live there :) Perfection Seen On Earth :) The Best of Luck Mr. :)
+natytrueheart Agreed! So glad you enjoyed!
I just can't find the right words to convey my level of jealousy and envy. ;-) 😋
+J H Robbins Ha! Well so glad we could take on an envy inspiring trip to Tim's fabulous chateau!!
ahaha. wish i had a house i love!. i appriciaye where i am now but.. GOD please give me what i want
Mr Wrong jealousy boucoup, cheer himself up lol stroll over the jardin du vert. :P The highest thing got everything in all different styles, pardon!
@@omg3320 Take what you have and make it beautiful for you!! Start with small touches, treat yourself with little joys of the day and slowly start to create the surrounding you want. I live in a tiny park model home in the middle of nowhere in the Arizona desert (which I'm not crazy about AT ALL) and am in the process of creating my own "chateau" and am LOVING it. It makes me feel so much more grateful for what I have and I can enjoy the creativity and success of others. Just some loving thoughts -- take care of yourself, treat yourself nice!
🤣🤣🤣
One of my favorites
merci d'avoir fait revivre ce chateau c'est magnifique !vive la france et vive timoty corrigan
The French Government (and French nation) should be extremely grateful that Timothy restored this chateau with such care,
taste and refinement…thereby honouring its heritage.
What a visual treat.
The words that spring to mind are: exquisite, sublime, incomparable.
Viewing this You Tube clip from afar (Australia) has truly made my day.
Thank YOU for watching and couldn’t agree more! Timothy is to be applauded for his sensitive aesthetic work on the chateau! Be sure to watch our “before” video of his latest chateau renovation!
In pure complete awe!!!!!
Absolutely beautiful and magic! What a lovely castle. Timothy Corrigan is a very talented designer
+Dimitri Salon Thank you!! He is indeed!
What a great caregiver and keeper is Timothy Corrigan. So happy he restored the French chateau.
He is indeed! Be sure to watch our other 2 videos with Tim - shopping at Les Puces in Paris and at his lovely home in Los Angeles
Im so happy he is the owner.
+Quintessence how does he make $$
Love his decor and book. Thank you for this beautiful tour.❤❤❤
France is one of the most elegant places on the planet.
Thank you from South Jordan, Utah, USA...for sharing your home with me.
Thank you for tagging along - all the way from Utah! ;-)
BEAUTIFUL chateau........Pamela in Detroit Michigan USA
Where does one even start to think of having to leave all this to anyone who will care and love it as much as you do....sadly, if ever one had to. It would be like giving your soul away.
Yet ,oddly enough a lot of antiques would have at some time belonged to someone else, fortunately, to be given new life by those with an eye for , the precious, the beautiful, and the unique, as Timothy has done. Beautiful experience, thank you Timothy.
So glad you enjoyed!!
Such a beautiful construction ! And as time goes on, the whimsy that inspired such a truffle requires a kindred spirit to appreciate the nuance as time goes by. I want to be invited to the dancing party!
You both are great at what you share with us , thank you !!!❤️
Stunning!
OMG! Gorgeous! absolutely incredible chateau.
So sweet! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
He's just living his dream, good for him
Yes! And hope you saw our more recent video with Timothy at his "new" chateau - this one has since been sold.
Timothy is fabulous. He embraces uniqueness, charm, good taste, hospitality, appreciation for the old...well I just think he’s great❤️
We agree!!
I’m very impressed, it’s so beautiful.. I love this man!❤️

Angell Rubey It is!
Love to see Christmas at this chateau!

Mary Canada 🇨🇦
Quel expérience ! Cette château est vraiment magnifique ! Merci à vous! :-)
Wooooooow!!
What a transformation ❤️
Yes it was!! Be sure to watch our videos on Timothy’s latest chateau!
Can not find
this is beyond wonderful!
Thank you so much seven go - glad you enjoyed tagging along!
Absolutely magnificent
Restoring is simple. Just patch and clean. But what I truly admire is the way Tim has put everything together with such articulation for compatibility of things. And the garden is to die for. An eye opener for me. Thank you for your hospitality.
Our pleasure - glad you enjoyed! And hope you saw our recent video visit with Tim at his "new" chateau - this one has since been sold!
A dream just a dream love everything.
Thank you TheKatzLife !!
Awesome.
As a Scot living in France since over 40 years and having been witness to so much destruction and neglect I can honestly say 'thank god for Americans' ! And many Brits and several other nationalities who have invested time and money and bloody hard work in keep French history and culture alive to pass forward. Thank you all.
Thank you Stephanie!! And I didn't know you were from Scotland! So lovely of you to acknowledge. Yes, Timothy is a great example of an American francophile who is truly obsessed with celebrating French history and the decorative arts!
@@quintessenceblg Yes my dear a 'highland lass' ! And I used to live very near to where Tim bought his new chateau and now live in the chateau region of Dordogne where they say there are over a thousand chateaux! hugs to both xxx
@@TheFiown how wonderful!! Mille mercis comme d’habitude!
Do any of you watch "The Chateau Diaries" Stephanie Jarvis does them, they are very interesting and fun!!! 🏰🏰🏰
Dreamy!😙
Stunning 🤩
I love your Home one of Beautiful place New Orleans
what a blessing when money matches taste!!!
Indeed!
It's like living in an absolute dream
I can't believe I had never seen this. The host, the home--just priceless! This is truly a gem!
So glad you enjoyed!!
I have been a designer for 30 years and decorate in this manner. I think maybe I should move to France.
They certainly need people like you over there ..what are you waiting for
Yes, you can get some historical property like one of those chateau or castle very cheap but the local government will advise you to restore according to their plans - to keep it unique and according to the century. Not contemporary.
@@ludastout2852 but....you wouldn't want to make it too contemporary would you?
If you are american do not come to France! We like our style!!
Victoria Darling, how the heck, do we make this mainstream, as I'm open concept and all white completely, to death here! How could anyone in their right mind, not prefer to live in these types of surroundings? Right?
My Retro/Vintage Best. Out.
Exquisite place! What is the exquisite music playing in the background? Love the piano music, especially.
Such a beautiful estate in fact I have a passport so when your ready for a new house guest let me know ;-)
He is so amazing i wish he swing by my condo and help me with the decor 😊
Wonderful!
Absolutely beautiful. It looks so homey. Well done
It is homey - the perfect combination of European elegance with California comfort!
Diana B yes but homey without a family
I swear I saw this place in a Tilda Swinton movie.
He should host artists retreats and employ a gardener for the empty greenhouse.
It looks so comfortable and he seems to be a welcoming host. Excellence!
Unfortunately, if he made this glorious masterpiece available to the public in any form, the place would be run down again. Only houseguests he personally invites would keep the place pristine.
Awesome
Awesome, and he sold this to buy an even grandeur one😳😃🤓🤓😜😜💁🏽💁🏽awesome estate👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Mary Mae Actually the new one is considerably smaller.
Home is all about family and love! If there’s no love in a home big or small, then it’s not a home anymore!
I love this video so much i watch it over and over again.I am currently renovating a 9000 Sq Ft residence using a French Castle theme.
When can i go visit Timothys Chateau. ?. He is such an amazing Host and incredible Designer.You are so fortunate to have been graced by his hospitality at His one of a kind
Royal Chateau with his talent applied to each and every sq inch of the property.
Timothy Again when can i come visit?
We were indeed so fortunate to visit Timothy's chateau. This one has since been sold and is now a luxury boutique hotel. We have published a "before" video of his "new" chateau, which I think you may enjoy!
@@quintessenceblg
Thank You for your Lovely Reply.and would love to get the
Info to book a vacation there.
Please let us know.
Best Regards Thank You .
Love Your Channel..
Always Magical...
Lovely rare way to live
I'm planning to steal the papers and the key of this château! 😂😍
TASTEFULL
Timothy... You are An Amazing Designer.. I Am in the process of Finishing My Own Home French Style in New Mexico. Can I Come To stay and Visit You When I Have Completed Mine?...
Happy Designing...
Your videos are so exquisite and elegant! Such beautiful homes and gardens and people! Can you tell me what is the music in this video?
Thank you so much Barbara - the music is called Glider by Bill Conti. We no longer use it.
Hats off to Timothy for masterfully creating an absolutely warm and inviting home. It gets no better!
Couldn't agree more - but wait until you see his latest chateau!
And here we are, at the Chateau, listening to the echo of the beautiful cozy homey rooms filled with expensive art works and chinoiserie!! 😂😄
Stunning chateau and such a charming man. Lovely, grand and homey at the same time.
Exactly! And perhaps you'd like to see our recent video of Timothy's new chateau (this has since been sold). We did a "before" episode and hope we will go back to film post- renovation!
Still binge watching.... You are the most kind professional guest - lol. I love the Loire Valley. My sister lived there for 13 years before she moved to Paris. I also love Paris, but the country is my favorite. The castles, the chateau's the wineries, the shopping. Time to book another trip!
Delighted to hear!! The Loire is beautiful and Susanna and I hope to return to film the "after" of Timothy's new chateau!!
it's a hotel now. planning on going once things calm down.
That's correct! Hope you enjoy your stay!
Stunning chateau! Lovely hospitality! Truly a beautiful work of art when someone goes along and renovated a beautiful chateau like this one! Would love to own one myself!
Beautiful restoration of a wonderfully elegant Chateau, although a little too "California" for my taste. One has to wonder though as to how large is M'sieu Corrigan's family..? Not really a "bachelor " pad is it..? Also how many full time staff does he employ...?
Mr. Corrigan, I Love what You are doing with the beautiful home !! Do You need a old Lady for a maid ?? Or a house sitter ? I would be so honored to work for You ..
Thats fabulous, just so unbelievably fabulous. Just imagine waking up and knowing its yours, ahhhh. xo
+SevenDaysofStyle It is the most marvelous combination of grand and cozy!!
+Quintessence Thank you so much for this delight.
My pleasure +O mg - so glad you were able to join us vicariously!
+Quintessence :) well consider ive found my bst channel on youtube now ahah... i would... these videos have inspired me to.go in to ineterior design. any idea how i can start?. i have no.clue. :( Thank you again.
+o mg - your best options are to find an interior designer in your area to work for or to go back to school to complete a post- degree study.
not my cup of tea but extremely beautiful i would love to visit but i couldnt live there myself but i am glad he kept the architecture in tact and didnt do like they do in america and rip out all the character and modernize it he did such an awesome job !
rockabillyrikk Yes he did and have you seen our more recent video of “the before” of his ‘new’ chateau? This one has since been sold.
Thankfully, the French government protects these beauties as if they were little jewels, there are very strict regulations on what you can or cannot do to the place. They love it when people are willing to spend the millions of euros needed to restore these magnificent places, but they are also very conscious that they should remain as close to the original plans as possible.
Susana, I just got my first subscription to My French Country Home, 2021. It features Mr. Timothy's Chateau and I believe there is a quote from you "European elegance meets California casual ", wasn't that your remark?
Love Sharon’s My French Country Home - I was featured in it for an entertaining segment last year. Love hearing Timothy is in it this issue. That phrase is actually how Timothy describes his own design ethos! - Stacey (behind the camera and the blog)
He seems like a very nice guy, and very successful!
edstud1 Timothy is the best!
The music.... from The Thomas Crown Affair, the glider scene.
This home, gorgeous
That's right - we have since found new music!
@@quintessenceblg I love that music! Took me a few videos to place it .
More gardens please!
