      @@rekkinregen There's lots of this type of work in the U.S. as well, it's simply a matter of scale. Less than 5% of all Americans will live in a home with this level of craftsmanship so you don't see it as much in such a young country.
      To blame a globally dying craft (due to the emergence of technology) on a single country which is 1/20th of the global population is asinine at best and idiotic at worst. Your delicate sensibilities don't determine how the world works.

      ​@@rekkinregen I don't know about the situation in France, but in North America there are definitely people who mourn the loss of traditional crafts--or old buildings--to the march of modernity. It just isn't as profitable for craftsmen to stay in their trade anymore, and not everyone is able to afford the prices they would need to charge to stay in business.

      @@IHaveDaddyIssuesHowDidYouKnew You are kinda wrong, his parents started with not much in life, they bought their first Chateau many years ago and renovated it. Through hard work they were able to buy another one an renovated it again. They repeated the process many times and now his family owns I think 6 Chateaux. They are 4 siblings, each has a Chateau and they all literally dedicated their lives to them.
      As Edouard said, he already has 10 years or more of experience renovating Chateaux, as since a child he is doing it with his parents.
      They are now living off from the revenues of tourism and get to make some money out of their activities through their many Chateaux, but they are not rich, they just love our french heritage and vow to take care of what our ancestors left us, unlike most french people.

      ​​@@Pl89ukAgreed inheriting money isn't impressive, but he's doing good things with it. Restoring a château that used to be only for the rich, and opening it for everyone to enjoy (I mean, an escape room with a historic cellar and apothecary? That's awesome!). Of course this will make him money after it breaks even, but I don't think he's doing it just for the money. He's restoring a historical gem.

      @katehobbs2008 5 месяцев назад

      But every chateau has been continually updated over the centuries to reflect the fashion and style of that era, so taking it back to the earliest version is quite synthetic. Those châteaux which have been continually occupied will have elements of decoration and furnishing from all those periods. Look at Windsor Castle, it has 20th C couches and armchairs amongst the antiques treasure#.

    @garypalmer7750 8 месяцев назад +2

    Edouard: Out of all the chateaux's shown on youtube YOURS is the most beautiful, to me. The bones of the Chateaux you chose have the most symetry, respect of space to allow functionality to the square footage. I like that it is not just a Big structure to show off for the owners ego, but a thought provoking measurment of Design. The scale of the inside is relative to the outside and to the land it sits on with my favorite idea of "Function follows Form (design"" and you still come out ahead of the game! I hope there will be more films of you showing the efforts you have taken to restore the Chateaux, the pains taking progress and your thought prosessies that make me wonder how your head ticks as well as you giving the Chateaux a new beating heart. lol .I hope I get to see your creation in person and meet the impressive young man you have allowed youtube viewers to discover exhists in Dordogne France.
