What a beautiful well. Imagine the effort it took to build it. Those holes in the wall were probably used for beams for flooring to build the walls as they went down.
Philip reminds me so much of my dad. He would also tell the most outlandish things and people were always fascinated. All in good faith but he did get a kick out of it. He was the BEST. We always went on adventures, he was up for every mischief and had a wicked humor. I'm sure their children will say the same later in life and they will be grateful for growing up in such an eclectic,, loving, and creative environment.
Wow, another great one! Squarespace should pay you double for the heaven scene! And your relatonship with Benoit is the best! Also, it was sooo nice of that guy to set up that whole thing for you. He seems like a terrific person with a lovely family!!
I love the begining of the video : "Before I could politely decline for obvious safety reason..." and then, Philipp in all his splendor ! Very interseting video. And the music is always a pleasure to ear. Thanks for sharing your (sometimes) crazy adventures.
That initial part, where it's extremely tight, and Philipp squeezes in, was freaking scary, especially when you're a claustrophobic person, like I am! Extremely cool that you guys are sharing this with your viewers! It's like watching a (scary) movie, sitting on the edge of the sofa...
I start to panic 🤢 I've no problem climbing on/off my 2-story roof, flying in ultralight 2-seater planes & using zip lines... but tight spaces freak me out.
I was so sure that an inspection of a well would be the most boring thing ever, so for the first time I avoided watching a HTRAC blog for some time. But boy, was I wrong! This gave me the chills! Great video! Loved it!
Same here! I had this video in my "watch later" for so long, I usually watch their videos straight away. Finally got around to it today and was enthralled! I'm not a fan of spiders, so I was avoiding watching it because I was sure there would be some down the well....I was right 😨😱 Great video other than that bit haha!
I usually skip the ads. Tell me why i didnt skip this one! The transition to an ad is *chef's kiss*. Amazing video. Scary and enthralling. On the edge of my seat the whole time.
I was a little sad you weren’t able to go all the way down, but I glad you stayed safe! I would have had no idea about the hazards of the bad air, so good thing you had a knowledgeable team to help you 😅
You can calculate distance by timing the stone’s fall. Distance = 1/2 (acceleration)* time 2(squared). Acceleration = 9.8 metres per second. So if it took say 3.3 seconds to fall, that’s 9.8*3.3*3.3/2=53.36 metres.
Philipp... I take my hat off to you. This was, by far, your best adventure & funniest vlog to date and I absolutely enjoyed every single minute. 🏆."..and the RUclips Academy Award For Outstanding Content goes to How To Renovate A Chateau" 👏👏 Brilliant, take a bow everyone!
Terrifying!!! You would never catch me going down a long, dark hole!! OMG!!! Holding my breath as you descend and ascend. Very brave Philip!! So happy you have an expert to help . Very lovely people. So good to see Benoit and his helper, good job he did to secure your safety.
The pottery piece, the brick wall turning into a stone wall and the stalactite were amazing finds! This was so cool and we also had a Benoit sighting! Thanks for sharing!
You guys never cease to deliver. Great video! The cut to black and the splash was brilliant. I truly admire the talent and skills you used in the sponsor bit for Square space. The writing was entertaing and clever and the CG was amazing as well.
The videography and editing made this even more exciting. Of course, the addition of a few professionals who can actually measure something always helps. 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the humour gentlemen.
The humor in this vid is superb! Same with the suspense and use of music, bravo! Enjoyed every minute of this vlog, keep it up guys. This was soooooo cool to see! That well shows some incredible craftsmanship...
Oh my gosh, cracking up with Benoit greeting you as you ascended the well. Love the splash and the heavenly detour. Very fun and clever. The well is beautiful. Great family giving you the help and their expertise for you to have this experience. xx
In the middle of a really tense and frankly scary video, you give us the most hilarious sponsor's message in the history of RUclips. I'm never going near a well, ever again, but it was well worth watching... (sorry!)
Sooooooo funny! Matej jumped immediately on to your humor and Benoir.. of course allways the same! I laughted so much! The transition to heaven... pure fun!! Soo great done!
You need to be really careful with these things, like old closed off wells or even old basements. Due to the lack of fresh air coming in, the concentration of harmful elements (even radioactive stuff) and gasses are high, making you losing unconscious and die. Dozens of people die every year due to that, additionally people tried to rescue the unconscious person and also losing unconscious... That's one of the first things we learned in chemistry at university! Airing out the "room" first, wearing a mask and always having people around is important!
There are caves in St. Paul, Minnesota near the Mississippi River on the upper banks opposite the city... they're called the Wabasha Street Caves where famous robbers hid in and where a nightclub was built where they still play American Swing/Band music... kids go too deep into them almost every year... and never make it out... for lack of oxygen.
Yes. Watching this made me very nervous. There was a little girl Suzanne Gill, in San Marino CA, that fell into an abandoned well, running across a field in the 1950's (that area is now part of the high school). One can Google the story. They tried and tried to get her out. They couldn't get to her in time. It was the first "Live" Broadcast by KTLA Channel 5 in Los Angeles. I still remember this, so sad :(
Quite a feat, I must say. Beautiful construction. And, as I saw the SLO plates pull up, I felt proud. We're a tiny but mighty country. Way to go all around! Well done--that's a back atcha for the spider joke. That one had me laughing.
That is the best segue to a sponsor ad on RUclips I've ever seen. Very clever. I hope you can find someone to tell you more about the pottery you found!
Omg……I had such anxiety watching you hanging in the well ! What a crazy adventure! It’s hard to imagine someone building that in the 14th century? Watching from Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦🌸
How on earth did they manage to dig such a deep well without modern tools? Really amazing! This video was really interesting and I would like to see the bottom of the well as well. Maybe with a go pro camera?
That was amazing!!!! I can’t believe the awesome construction of the well walls!!!!! Philip is hilarious! Squarespace has probably never seen such a great commercial for their product!!!!! Great filmmaker Philip!!!
A wonderful episode!.Scary, funny, Beautiful and inspiring. (Phillip's bravery, his lovely support team, and the ingenuity of the 14th century artisans,) And as usual, the music was perfect. : )
That was amazing, well done Phillip and friends!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I wonder if the nooks in the walls of the shaft held support boards so the masons could do a section at a time?? Fascinating!!!! 🎉
OMG. Had me on the edge of my seat. Well done Phillip. The well looks beautifully made. That ending was soooo mean. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. It looked as if there were spaces to put beams across. Hopefully we'll see the bottom. Xx
Well that was very theatrical!! 👏😁 Breathtakingly beautiful indeed and fascinating construction but I was a little past ready for Phillip to come up!! 😄😁🥰🥰
What an adventure Philip! It’s a beautiful well and intact too after so many years 👌🏼👌🏼loved the video.I thought you dropped something and then I hear you talking about Squarespace🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are hilarious and I loved seeing Anna’s concern for you. Philip asks to go down a couple of meters and Anna conveys the message as 2 meters🙂
What an interesting experiment. Will you be able to use the well for water in the future in the event it is needed? I can only imagine some of the interesting and surprising finds while renovating the home. It is a beautiful building, and the interior is spectacular! It must be so special living there. Your family is so funny and enjoy watching your adventures.
What a great adventure! Hilarious as always… Best soundtrack by far ! It’s so beautiful to see different nations coming together to achieve an enterprise. Good to see an Slovenian joining forces. For a moment I stoped watching and it sounded as launching into another planet. No doubt this time Phillip went « au fond des choses « One line though, will surely be on the “sins side”of the Heaven Report …. “Swedish Girls.” ? As soon as you mentioned it the “good done” report automatically vanished…. Ha ha ha 😂😂😂 Now seriously what a great adventure. Thank you for making your channel so enjoyable.
Excellent video! Loved the music adding to the drama. The well is quite a feat when you consider it was built in the 14th century, obviously by skilled artisans, - rather like yourself- that has to be a given. Anna looked so tiny in the view from the bottom. How much further before you would have hit the water? I am glad you were free of noxious gases down there, and that you had a skilled team of knowlegable mountaineers above to help. Sorry to hear I need computer skills to get into heaven, that was unwelcome news! But, so happy to see Benoit again!
What a beautiful well. Imagine the effort it took to build it. Those holes in the wall were probably used for beams for flooring to build the walls as they went down.
The know-how of these workman at that time is amazing. I am always impress by these kind of work and architecture, it was done at the XIV century !!!
Thank you for your comment! I was, as always, absolutely clueless.
I'm saying lamps, but I agree. They would have needed sturdy beams to heave dirt up and bring stone down.
Maybe they had duel purpose.
Yes the holes are called trou de boulin in french, they were used for scaffolding
Thank you so much to bring this information.
Best creator-made sponsor ad I have ever seen, bar none! I laughed so loud I scared my dog. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah, heaven was a long way for Phillip to travel just to get the right shots for square space. The man is dedicated.🤣😇😂
Yes, I was laughing at that heaven/square space interlude.
I love the begining of the video : "Before I could politely decline for obvious safety reason..." and then, Philipp in all his splendor !
Very interseting video. And the music is always a pleasure to ear. Thanks for sharing your (sometimes) crazy adventures.
Even the commercial is hilarious.

I start to panic 🤢 I've no problem climbing on/off my 2-story roof, flying in ultralight 2-seater planes & using zip lines... but tight spaces freak me out.
Apparently, I’m so claustrophobic, that just watching others in tight places makes me short of breath.
I was so sure that an inspection of a well would be the most boring thing ever, so for the first time I avoided watching a HTRAC blog for some time. But boy, was I wrong! This gave me the chills! Great video! Loved it!
Glad you watched it anyway! Thanks!
Same here! I had this video in my "watch later" for so long, I usually watch their videos straight away. Finally got around to it today and was enthralled! I'm not a fan of spiders, so I was avoiding watching it because I was sure there would be some down the well....I was right 😨😱 Great video other than that bit haha!
Does Philipp come with life insurance? That should have been part of the marriage vows.
😂
Omg 😂
🤣❤️
😂😂
Bawhawhaw 😂
Phillip’s transitions into the sponsor ad are getting more and more creative 😂 👏🏼
That well is SO well built!
Amazing to see, what an effort is must have been to build it!
I usually skip the ads. Tell me why i didnt skip this one! The transition to an ad is *chef's kiss*. Amazing video. Scary and enthralling. On the edge of my seat the whole time.
Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Great to see fellow Slovenians helping!
Іn September visited Slovenia
Very beautiful🌳🌳💗🌺
Love from Ukraine 🇺🇦
I would like to visit Slovenia in the future, everybody says great things about the nature, sea and cities :-) Greetings from Czechia.
@@slouberiee and they don't lie :)
The conversation while waiting to enter heaven…so silly! And funny, great ad. I loved how Benoit made an appearance to ensure Phillip’s safety.
I’m amazed at the quality of the stonework. That’s incredible. Kudos to Phillip for taking on this explore.
I was a little sad you weren’t able to go all the way down, but I glad you stayed safe! I would have had no idea about the hazards of the bad air, so good thing you had a knowledgeable team to help you 😅

175.07 ft. for us in USA! Wow! And thx for the great Math!!
Crap, now I'm trying to remember the Order of Operations I learned 1/2 a Century ago.
Philipp... I take my hat off to you. This was, by far, your best adventure & funniest vlog to date and I absolutely enjoyed every single minute. 🏆."..and the RUclips Academy Award For Outstanding Content goes to How To Renovate A Chateau" 👏👏 Brilliant, take a bow everyone!
Glad you enjoyed it
Love that adventure-and your daughter was the 1st to volunteer for the adventure!
Terrifying!!! You would never catch me going down a long, dark hole!! OMG!!! Holding my breath as you descend and ascend. Very brave Philip!! So happy you have an expert to help . Very lovely people. So good to see Benoit and his helper, good job he did to secure your safety.
Phillip, you are priceless. I loved the last part with the advertising for the website company. Merci for another great week with you and your family.
The pottery piece, the brick wall turning into a stone wall and the stalactite were amazing finds! This was so cool and we also had a Benoit sighting! Thanks for sharing!
Can you imagine building that without modern methods? Even scarier than your descent, and that was something! ❤
I laughed out loud when Phillip went to heaven. Well done! 😂🤗🇨🇦
He wasn't accepted in heaven ! =D
You guys never cease to deliver. Great video! The cut to black and the splash was brilliant. I truly admire the talent and skills you used in the sponsor bit for Square space. The writing was entertaing and clever and the CG was amazing as well.
Gorgeous well! Mind blowing to think they built it so many centuries ago. You did the BEST ad transition!!
Philipp, your bravery is astounding. Well done, sir.
Amazing! Somebody with the same sense of humor as Philip and Benoit! 😂
The videography and editing made this even more exciting. Of course, the addition of a few professionals who can actually measure something always helps. 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for the humour gentlemen.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The SquareSpace ad was brilliant!!!! Another fantastic episode!!!!!
just love these two , they make everything so interesting ,and make you laugh at the same time
Always entertaining I love Philip's sence of humour 🙂
This was a great episode! I always love seeing Benoit with your family!
The humor in this vid is superb! Same with the suspense and use of music, bravo! Enjoyed every minute of this vlog, keep it up guys. This was soooooo cool to see! That well shows some incredible craftsmanship...
I loved the way you incorporated your Square Space sponsorship. Very creative!!! Great production Philipp!
Glad you like it!
Oh my gosh, cracking up with Benoit greeting you as you ascended the well. Love the splash and the heavenly detour. Very fun and clever. The well is beautiful. Great family giving you the help and their expertise for you to have this experience. xx
I laughed out loud when your "fall" into the well turned into an ad for Squarespace!
Slovenians!! I knew it as soon as I heard him speak. It’s nice to see that I’m not the only Slovenian watching:)
Phillipe is truly brave!
🙋♀️❤️. If you are an influencer, you influence people to be cheerful and cause laughter! The important things!😊
What amazing engineering. What amazing stone work . They were certainly pioneers in building.Well done Phillip for showing us.
We were always amazed at the depth ouf our well next to our normandy home, but yours is a masterpiece of wellbuilding. Absolutely amazing
This has to be one of my favorite videos you've done! So much fun. So many handsome men, too. 🙂
Glad you like them!
In the middle of a really tense and frankly scary video, you give us the most hilarious sponsor's message in the history of RUclips. I'm never going near a well, ever again, but it was well worth watching... (sorry!)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad that Phillip wore his best jeans.
It must be great to finally view the well and confirm what is down there and how it was made. Knowledge is good👋
I do love Philipps sense of humour - so droll. Priceless!!
Great episode. Square Space should pay you double for that ad. Gripping suspense on an otherwise normal RUclips day.
Sooooooo funny! Matej jumped immediately on to your humor and Benoir.. of course allways the same! I laughted so much! The transition to heaven... pure fun!! Soo great done!
Okay, that was a bit terrifying and I loved it! You deserve every penny you make from this channel. So great.
17:55 Phillip you’re very brave! Pretty spooky down there as you said!

Sorry, had wrong name. Her name was Kathy Fiscus. She was 5 when she fell down the well.
3 people in Bastrop , Texas just died that way. One fell in and the other two went in after them, all died from the poisonous gases.
Quite a feat, I must say. Beautiful construction. And, as I saw the SLO plates pull up, I felt proud. We're a tiny but mighty country. Way to go all around! Well done--that's a back atcha for the spider joke. That one had me laughing.
What a great adventure going down the old well. I know Anna was happy you made it back to the top without any problems. Best wishes, Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Thank you for delightfully entertainmenting video.
The fake deop onto the water rolling onto the squarespace advert was too funny.
That is the best segue to a sponsor ad on RUclips I've ever seen. Very clever. I hope you can find someone to tell you more about the pottery you found!
So wise to keep that thing really well locked!
It’s always good to see Benoit and Vincent.
Philipp, you are so funny! Loved your heavenly "ending"
Omg……I had such anxiety watching you hanging in the well !
What a crazy adventure!
It’s hard to imagine someone building that in the 14th century?
Watching from Vancouver Island, BC 🇨🇦🌸
This one made me sweat! I really hate small, dark spaces, but thrilling to watch your adventure, all the same and see another detail of the chateau.
Bravo Philipp! So good to see Benoit!
Very good to see Benoit 🥰🥰
The segway to your sponsor was hilarious! The best one I've seen yet!🤣
Phillip you always have the best music! It really makes the video.
How on earth did they manage to dig such a deep well without modern tools? Really amazing! This video was really interesting and I would like to see the bottom of the well as well. Maybe with a go pro camera?
So beautifully made without machines! It incredible what they achieved.
That was amazing!!!! I can’t believe the awesome construction of the well walls!!!!! Philip is hilarious! Squarespace has probably never seen such a great commercial for their product!!!!! Great filmmaker Philip!!!
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely amazing photography and entertainingly thrilling. Wow ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Meine Güte!!! Sooo spannend, bin stolz auf euch! Der Film ist toll geworden!❤
You are very brave Philip .
A wonderful episode!.Scary, funny, Beautiful and inspiring. (Phillip's bravery, his lovely support team, and the ingenuity of the 14th century artisans,) And as usual, the music was perfect. : )
That was amazing, well done Phillip and friends!!! 🎉🎉🎉
I wonder if the nooks in the walls of the shaft held support boards so the masons could do a section at a time?? Fascinating!!!! 🎉
Whoa! Check out that router bit set. Best machinery displayed today
😅 Philip you crack me up. The square space ad was hilarious
You are brave Phillip! That was amazing!
Really enjoyed this. I’ll say it again…you guys are priceless!
OMG. Had me on the edge of my seat. Well done Phillip. The well looks beautifully made. That ending was soooo mean. Don't know whether to laugh or cry. It looked as if there were spaces to put beams across. Hopefully we'll see the bottom. Xx
Awesome video guys, thankyou so much. ❤❤❤
Wooo, i would put this piece of souvenir in some nice welvet and covered with grass top. Could be a nice (museum) piece in the Chateau. 😊 Crazy
This was such a fun episode. The commercial was inspired 😂🤣. The well is beautiful.
Bonjour Benoit.
Bonjour et a très bientôt avec mon filous 🙏👍😍
@@benoitcompagnon5849 🤣😂 they are tricksters I agree
Coucou, bonjour bijoutwou
The well is so much wider around than I would’ve guessed!
Great sense of humor !! Thanks for that 🤗✨✨
You are a brave man…
The music fitted the descend….
The Squarespace advert was the BEST! Hilarious 😂
Well that was very theatrical!! 👏😁 Breathtakingly beautiful indeed and fascinating construction but I was a little past ready for Phillip to come up!! 😄😁🥰🥰
Amazing. What bravery. My BP was sky-high!
Hello from PEI Canada. You have a new sidekick.
Wow. Just wow. So interesting and beautiful!

Creative transition from "falling" into the well to the heaven scene to f. the Squarespace ad. Well done! 😇🤣
Philip mon cher, that was absolutely HEROIC!!! And your Squarespace joke is hilarious whahahahaha!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😅
Živijo Matej! Pozdrave iz Slovenije😜
Soo surprised that there is a Slovenian in your video.. Soo cool👌

The walls of the well are beautiful! Imagine building that!
