- Join Stephanie Jarvis for a tour of the private Chateau de Germolles, hosted by one of its incredibly knowledgeable owners, Matthieu. This chateau has a vast history dating all the way back to the 13th century and it tells its tales about a duke who tried to fight against the King of France...
It’s like getting a history lesson from an espresso machine. My favorite tour video yet.
Exactly! He speaks the way dear Karl Lagerfeld did with the speed and "eha?" at the end of sentences and I loved ever minute! What a wealth of information ... How long can he speak like that?! Machine-gun Kelly! Just a completely unnecessary observation ... His knowledge was absolutely awesome and inspiring. Philip must have been dying! I wish there had been time at the end to observe Stephanie and Philip's reactions. How lucky that engraving was found that showed them where things used to be. He and we would have been lost without it! And a BIG "Thank You!" to Stephanie for the subtitles! ❤
...and this Espresso machine exudes a scent of both french and english 🤣😂😅
And
his English is perfect!
Yes ! =D As a french myself i had to take a little break here and there to digest the informations and to let my brain breathe a second
I love the accent of this man. I have never heard a person speak so well english and i the same time with a so strong sweet french accent.
@chemokiki i really loved the sound he made ❤😂 is it a posh french thing?
Fascinating! He’s a font of historical information and paints such a compelling story! How wonderful to see the different centuries of architecture!!!
100% agree with you Nancy. I love the history.
I REALLY appreciate the time you took Stephanie, to create the subtitles! I imagine that took a long time so please know it was much appreciated! It was so fascinating but the subtitles really helped and I loved listening to him! ❤️🇨🇦
Wow! He is so well spoken and knowledgeable about the chateau. There is so much history there and all over Europe and it really is amazing that he gets to live surrounded by such historical treasure. Thank you for letting us come into your beautiful home and for telling us so many astounding facts and stories.
My goodness, did he ever take a breath? So interesting and such an expressive person. Thanks for the historical tour.
Wow. All I can say is wow. I must say that all of a sudden through his talking through the castle I have realised what my own Manoir; constructed in the 13th/14th Century was all about! The kitchens running along the ground floor; the arrow slits; lower courtyard - the bakery; chapel - even to the grande salle of the 18th century and the configuration of the top larger rooms for courtiers. I understand at last completely my previous place in France. Thankyou so much Stephanie. x
I felt the same way! He suddenly made sense of so much of the layout at Lalande!
I am exhausted. Enjoyed it very much.
This was excellent and fascinating. I had to pay close attention because he spoke very quickly with his accent, but I got enough to be amazed at the knowledge he has of the history of this Chateau. Very enjoyable!
Captions would be nice because I didn't want to miss a thing.
@Eileen Worth Stephanie wrote captions for this reason! You can turn them on by clicking the [CC] button :)
@@beautifulwave1346 Not working for me! 😕
It also helped to change the video speed from 'normal' to .75. Gave me more time to digest all the fascinating information he was giving
I don’t have the words to tell you how much I enjoyed this vlog. Well done Stephanie.
what a wonderful orator...i am amazed at the gentlemen's memory of every name! thanks for doing these
Stephanie, another great find, this Chateau was so massive and stunning. The history dating back to the 13th and 14th century is unbelievable, not to mention the condition of the place, thank you for the subtitles. This is one for the books. Thank you so much.
I throughly enjoyed every minute of this! And as I set here in the hospital waiting for a 2 hour CTScan, it is the perfect distraction!! The history is fascinating, the chateau stunningly beautiful with so many original parts . Thank you for taking me away to the earlier centuries where I can imagine Margaret of Flanders in her royal gowns kneeling in her chapel❤
Glorious! Stephanie thank you for taking the extra time to do the subtitles. What a breathe taking tour. I love how he keeps all the centuries as you have at your own Chateau. A wonderful history lesson.
What an interesting and incredible history lesson. Matthew is like a walking encyclopedia of history regarding this spectacular chateau. Thanks for sharing and wish we could see more of this incredible chateau 😍😘
Fantastic tour!! Thank for the time you put in on the captions. I followed pretty well, but it was nice to read to get the full impact on this knowledgeable Owner and Guide. Wobnderfull production value, very profession video. Thank you, Philip for the incredible camera work.
Through history, we can learn how past societies, systems, ideologies, governments, cultures and technologies were built, how they operated, and how they have changed.
And how humans don't learn from the past.
BA in History
…and how they haven’t changed. “Spectacle”
I'm American and I have no problem at all with his wonderful accent. Charming man. Thank you Stephanie.
I was enthralled, Matthieu tells a fascinating story of the history. He speaks English very well! Thank you so much, really enjoyed watching.
Fabulous tour Stephanie and Philip! The history and legend of this chateau is mythical. The different layers of time and history embodied in the chateau came to life by Matthieu's tale. Thank you also for the subtitles Stephanie. I need to read more about Ivanhoe and Lodine.
Amazing historical tour!!! Matthew is a great storyteller! He is simply charming!
Stephanie, I am loving your new channel!
Thanks for the sub titles!!!! What an accent! Very knowledgable man and so passionate! Really interesting and very lovely!
My God this man takes one back to the 13th and 14th century in an instant in a way that is breathtaking with knowledge and foresight that very few people can purvey ! This is totally and absolutely fascinating !!! Well done Stephanie and Philip .
One of the very best. Ever Vlogs . Breathtaking x
Holly smokes, did he have oxygen tank on his back? Ha, he was talking a million words per min & I never saw him breath! Loved it, very informative ! I love this history & the stories they tell. Cheers Kirk
Oh, my goodness... I understood him perfectly - but that was ALOT of history in a very short time 😂 It is a bit sad, to think of all the Chateaux, that are either derelict and crumbeling ruins, or already gone, because of all the history, that also disappeared.
Stephanie I know you were doing captions last minute but I really appreciate it. Thank you!
WOW!! Thank you for the closed captions. Felt like I was drinking from a fire hose. But it was so interesting.
I speak English and French indifferently but I understand why you subtitled ! Absolutely charming ! xoxoxo
What a FANTASTIC tour! So much interesting information about the history!! Loved every second. ❤️This man is a walking history book! Love how lively he gets when he talks about this chateau.
Wow! That was absolutely fascinating! Matthew was so generous sharing his Wealth of knowledge and passion for the treasure trove of history and preservations of his chateau and important French history. With Stephanie’s observations and respectful appreciation, intertwined with literary & historical references, this was such an eye opener, educational & intriguing. The intelligence, personality & pace of Matthew’s passion.. and articulation in sharing this, was a buzz! Thank you!
Oh Stephanie!! This was magnificent!!! The Ds of Burgundy were so important to Middle Ages history. I loved this.
Stephanie! 🙀I have no words!!
Seriously, I have watched this 3 times😍 (Noticing some new detail each time)
Matthieu’s passion for Chateau de Germolles is infectious!!
He reminds me of Ivo Fornesa who is also such a passionate historian. The 3 part vlog you did of his Chateau in Saint Chartier would fit in well on this channel!!💕💕
Very true.
This was an amazing tour and history lesson! Thank you! The Duke and Duchess of Burgundy were such important patrons of the arts. My jaw dropped to see the preserved wall painting with their mongrams (outstanding!) and to see another example of Claus Sluter--who made the most moving "weeping" or "pleurants" for the base of Philip and Margaret's tomb (if you've never seen them--they are spectacular).
Mathieu had replicas of them in the chateau, about a foot high each. They were mesmerizing!
A tip to more thoroughly enjoy this video is to watch it slowed down to
O.75x It's much easier to take it all in and it's so fascinating, and Stephanie's closed captions ... way better than the awful ones RUclips generates ... were incredibly helpful. Loved it!
You know sometimes in a 40 min video you can have a lag in interest, some parts are a little boring, but this was fascinating! I was surprised when it ended!! He is such wealth of knowledge, what a cool place!
Fabulous! We had a visit at Chateau de Germolles with the owner one evening in 2018, just the two us and this lovely gentleman. Such a charming plan and gentleman. We have a few items we bought from if lovely little shop and remember with great fondness this visit.
Worth the short detour from Beaune and the building needs all of our support.
Thank you Stephanie!
I'm only 16 minutes in and I have to stop and say thank you. I am so grateful that you are going to these places so that I can sit back here in Ohio and see them! It is so generous of all of you. I am always in awe of people who speak fluently in a native tongue and then are able to interject humor, sarcasm and idioms and he speaks English quicker than ANY American I've ever heard!
Yes, incredible ! I like his accend and his humor too !
Oh my goodness the wall paintings and Ivanhoe!!! My mouth fell open in amazement. So precious ❤
Absolutely fantastic!!! I could listen to him share French history for hours!!!
many thanks for the subtitles....so much information!!!!
That was fantastic. How interesting! Philippe and Marguerite were distant cousins of mine; I think; 4th and 5th cousins, 20 generations removed
C’est spectaculaire! I don’t know much French but that much is apparent! How generous for him to tour us and in English. The medieval wall painting was not what expected! Thank you for sharing this!
What a magical romantic tour, what a treasure 💛
This is an absolutely amazing discovery! What a historian. Please, give us more of this. Plus the subtitles are wonderful for people that speak English as a second language. What a guy!!!
Thank you for the subtitles, so much info! this was a wonderful video.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a wonderful, enthralling retelling, and entwining, of architectural and human history
So very interesting! I really enjoyed the video! The perfectly wonderful man that gave the tour....many thanks! I want to know if his home is in the chateau or is the chateau a museum? It looks like a museum, open for tours, with him being the most amazing tour guide. Thank you to all that made this fun journey happen!!
It’s a home, which is open to the public
Now I understand the need for subtitling …. The man has the speed of a fighter jet 😂😂😂
Truly fascinating! He's telling the story as though he lived it! Truly wonderful!
He is passionate about his family’s history. I just had to watch till the end. A wonderful storyteller! He brought it all to life! The speed of his narration and his accent made it all the more fascinating.
Absolutely stunning. His vast knowledge is his love for the chateau. One can easily tell by his enthusiasm as he spoke. Thank you for this marvelous tour. You must of felt honored to see and feel everything.
Matthieu is a remarkable man of knowledge and no doubt wisdom too. His enthusiasm was infectious and exceedingly speedy, thank you Stephanie for the last minute subs as I needed them to keep up with the history.
Side note I also got a good giggle with auto-correct word playing.
Thank you for sharing this with us! Such amazing place with beautiful stories. And the owners passion and knowledge of the place is very inspiring. I could listen to the history of this chateau for hours if not longer!
How wonderful! Oh yes, bring M. Matthiue to La Lande! Quel homme intrigant et érudit!
Absolutely beautiful Stephanie, well done darling finding these beautiful chateaus to explore: absolutely breath taking and the history is fantastic. Thank you so much to you and Phillip for sharing . Lisa xx ❤️😘👍
Wonderful history. Thank you so much for this video Stephanie, it has given me another aspect of French history. 💕🇦🇺
Fascinating chateau! The gentleman‘s enthusiasm was infectious.
that was so enriching in history and captivating! What a tourguide we had..every detail comes to life with his words..thank you Stephanie for this wonderful insight into a morsel of french history!
Very interesting tour and well done Stephanie. Beautiful chateau . The owner is magnificent at explaining the history.
What a huge amount of knowledge!! Fascinating!! 👋 🇦🇺
Yes! Lord Thank You for the subtitles!!!!
OK I love Matthieu - so knowledgeable and he told the story of his chateau with such joy and vigor. Such a fascinating Structure and filled with wonderful architectural details. I could listen to him forever and learn so much. Stephanie you are really sharing such interesting people and history with us and for that I thank you.
Hello from Nashville, Tennessee! It's a much chateau but Stephanie, you were right! I had a very hard time understanding him. I got some of what he said but not all. Everywhere you have shown me on your new channel has been wonderful! The rich history and such interesting people who know the history of their home. It's all amazing to me. Here in Nashville, they tear everything down and build a highrise building. We have very little history to see. We must go to the State Historical Office to see any pictures of how things here decades ago. I am so happy to know not every country just tears its history down. Thank you for another informational video!
So Interesting Stephanie
I Could Listen To him all Night, What a Fascinating Story. Xx
Dear Stephanie, thanks for subtitling this vlog. Even though I understand most of what is being said, it makes listening/watching much more enjoyable!
Thank you so much for the captions Stephanie! I was captivated!
Very interesting. I wonder if he ever has dreams of these people or sees ghosts there.
He is so precise and fast with his words im amazed
Such grand palace, Chateau de Germolles! Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing this honor you have had touring this lovely home, and meeting with MATTHEW who certainly knowns his history well and explains it all so well! Just to think how many powerful Dukes have had the opportunity to own this Palace, and although not always easy and especially when you must lose your life fighting for your country, No matter even if you must fight your rights with the leader. Yet this duke could keep a great honor for so many years into the future, for doing the best they could for what they believed in .
This was so exciting to be able to get to see the palace and learn so much of its history and to see how it all began for the families who lived and are living this lovely time in history even now! We are all part of it all in some way. We must play our parts where we are!
Thank you for the fantastic tour. Loved to hear that you learn more about Lalande from each of the tours you do at other Chateaux.😘😘😘
Fascinating! This gentleman is so knowledgeable and so well spoken. I have really enjoyed listening to him & hearing the history of the palace. Thank you Stephanie & Phillip.🇨🇦
Wow, that is amazing! He knew the history so well and had such in-depth information. Thank you
I love the history lesson. He truly loves the Castle and it's history. How lucky you were to get the tour
La passion de ce Monsieur pour le château et son histoire est incroyable!
A wonderful tour Stephanie! Thank you to the both of you 🙏❤️
Stephanie, I hope one day you get a knock on your door offering you to host/present documentaries on TV. You are not only entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable yourself, but a born presenter. Very well done and fascinating.
I look forward to the next one. From one of your devoted patreons.
Thank you so much for the subtitles, his stories are so fascinating and I couldn't keep up with him!
Thank you Stephanie for taking the time to subtitle! Wonderful tour!
Ce monsieur est absolument incroyable !!! Il connaît si bien l’histoire de son château ! Les peintures murales du dressing sont fabuleuses, dorées à la feuille d’or, cela devait être spectaculaire ! Merci pour ce grand tour et cette escapade dans le temps !
À bientôt !
🌸🌸🌸
wow !!! this guy can talk his history............ highly educational, i am ravinous for this type of presentation..................
It Must have been quite some Work to write the subtitles Here, extraordinaire. And one Suggestion, Stephanie, you have to convert your bedroom into the official reception room
😂
How do you turn on subtitles? I can’t see them.
@@lindasymons8361 there is a CC in the upper right Hand corner, just click on it
I just love you way of sharing and spreading the knowledge - here in Ukraine the history is never easy, we lost soo much and still are loosing in this terrible genocidal war. Thanks Stephanie for this opportunity to distract and learn and get strength to live on
Best wishes to you and yours!
I hope you and your loved ones are safe and that this terrible war ends soon.❤
This man is amazing! What a joy to listen to! Thanks for the captions. His energy and knowledge are amazing to listen to!
Absolutely loved this tour. I found I couldn’t understand him at first, he speaks very fluently/fast , but you stop and listen block out everything else, I used my headphones for this it helped, plus he speaks fluently with his hands.
What an amazing man. His knowledge of and explaining how its history transpired was perfect. Nice post, Stephanie.
Wow, the amount of history that house has is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for touring this palace and having such a passionate owner telling us all about all the details we might have missed.
I didn't want it to end. It was like I was mesmerized by his storytelling. You can tell he loves his home.
Wow what an incredible history lesson! Thank you so very much for the subtitles 🙏🏼
That was truly amazing. I feel like there is so much more to discover there!
What an incredible guided tour of this historical gem. His story-telling skills are second to none!
Thats amazing place i love it and the history
Blinkin' flip I couldn't really make out much of what the gentleman said, but the place is amazing, cheers
I have subtitled it, so you can turn those on if it helps 😊
Just click the CC at the bottom of the screen for the subtitles.
On my tablet the cc is upper right. It also is immensely helpful to slow the speed down to 0.75×
Thank You Matthieu ! ! ! That was an incredibly interesting and informative Tour ! ! !
Well, I heard you say on the Advent vlog that you were doing the subtitles but when this came on, I didn't see them. I followed along fairly easily, and only realized in the last 30 seconds that I could have clicked them on. It was fascinating, and beautiful and such a different world from the one I live in.
❤❤❤Wow! The owner's knowledge of the history of this chateau is unfathomable! Not only does he know the history, but his explanations are lovely. Thank you for another beautiful and educational episode. ❤❤❤
WOW! This could be 5 parts. 😳😳😳
Another incredible story, thank you Stephanie!
So glad you mentioned you made cc available. Fast talker, but loves all the knowledge he shared about the time when it was built ~ 🏰
😁Thrilling tour. What a terrific treat 🎁!
L❤ve a passionate person who makes history 📖 come alive. 😉Will need repeat viewings to soak it all in. I don't want to miss a moment of his sensational speech or any detail about this castle👩🍳s-💋!
💚Bridget from Cali☘️
(using my pal's YT acct)
Wonderful.
He is a great storyteller and so knowledgeable
Amazing this chateau survived!
Amazing. I found myself sucking in each word he was saying and imagining the life as it was there throughout the history. It is just so fascinating. Thank you Stephanie!
