This is quite a beautiful chateau, not too big, more human but elegant proportions and the out buildings are quite lovely as well and in amazingly good condition. I can completely understand falling in love with it!
May I note the following? Donkeys require a varied and balanced diet. Feeding should consist of hay, straw, small amounts of grass and, if necessary, specialized donkey feed. Hay, in particular, is dried grass and contains a high concentration of fiber, which aids in digestion and promotes gut health. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals necessary for donkey health, such as vitamin A, vitamin D, calcium, and magnesium. Juicy grass can also have a higher concentration of sugar, which can lead to digestive issues in some donkeys, especially those at high risk of metabolic disorders such as laminitis. Therefore, it is recommended to only keep donkeys on grazed pastures. Donkeys also require access to clean water, which should be changed regularly.
The furniture is stunning!! I wish we had furniture like that in North America. Quality and craftsmanship can be found all over Europe and rarely found here. What a shame.
Those doors are so beautiful and it’s fantastic that they tried to keep them and didn’t just through them away and it’s so great that you will restore them. Both of you so such reverence and respect to the artefacts of the house and to your pets!!!🤗🤗🐈⬛🙏🚪🚪🐴🐴
When you have a large Chateau to fill then all usable free furniture, especially as beautiful as these pieces are are treasures indeed. They all definitely need treating for woodworm…even if there’s no sign of it or any active it’s always worth doing it as a preventative measure. All these pieces will come up beautifully with a lot of beeswax for starters, they’ve not been “ fed” for many decades I’d say, so rubbing lots and lots of beeswax into them will help put the moisture back into the wood and then they will really gleam when they get their final proper top coat of polishes. You have some fabulous pieces there all things which are useable and in keeping with the Chateau era. It’s going to be fabulous when it’s done….enjoy!
The armoires were wedding presents for a well-off bride and groom. Occasionally you see the year carved under the top thing and/ or the bride's and groom's initials. Near Chinon (vally of the Loire), a very wealthy bride received a Chapelle. Alas, she was only 21 when she died in her first childbirth. If you ever get to the area, it's in a tiny village called Champigny-sur-Veude. Also great place across from it for a picnic in front of a little lake--picnic tables included ! Absolutely sublime. It was recently owned by RICH RICHISSIME Americans who used it once or twice a year for lavish parties. Guess what ? They didn't have to renovate the château across the lawn from the chapel. It's one of only 12 SAINTE CHAPELLES in France, which means . . . can't remember what. La Sainte Chapelle down the street from Nôtre Dame is another. The idea of St. Luis, Luis 1X and his Bishop Suger after Louis returned from his first crusade. Have yoou wondered about the circumflex--the ^ over some letters ? It means that in earlier French, there was an S as in HOSTEL which became Hôtel. Some words which are the same in french and English like RESTAURANT have retained the S.
Beautiful house! Beautiful field! Beautiful animals and they all look so happy! And that is really nice! Great fun and wonderful to find the furniture left from the past....I just love that kind of thing happening, WOW!! Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee, USA
Don’t you love the original flat pack furniture, and bonus no Allen/Hex key required. The armoire might be enormous but the fact it all comes apart to make moving up tight stairs, small doorways etc is brilliant. The carvings, hinges & locks are often works of art in themselves.
@@OurFrenchChateau I live on the other side of the globe in Australia and brought an antique French armoire about 10yrs ago and was blown away by the fact it deconstructed for transport/moving. They're quite expensive buying here in Australia but so worth hunting down for a bit of character and bonus storage.
True to your word, Merci! for including all seven fur babies in this Volg! The Armoires are beautiful and will certainly add not only fuction but charming design to the guest bedrooms - totally love the paint color. Poor Lincoln may not get his 'Field of Dreams' but as you said, it is just nice to have them😃. A bientot!
Love the colour on the bedroom wall. The armoires are a great find. The other chateaus use woo hardener and wood filler to restore their windows and furniture. Check out Escape to the Dream, restoring the chateau
Watching you two is so relaxing. You both seem like warm and genuinely kind people. The furniture and the home are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Great finds in storage! Love how the donkeys are the most effective organic waste composting system ever lol! Such a lovely sanctuary for both animals and humans, so lovely to see summer i full swing as opposed to the nordic cold spring we have. ❤️
How wonderful to just stand in your field and enjoy space and quiet and green!!!..that's all you have to do with it...but grazing and hay are practical uses ...as well !love the armoires!! So useful in a beautiful way!!
They are made to be knocked down. There is probably a bonnet for the top. Some one really tried to save them. How wonderful you want to use them. I wanted to purchase my great-grandfather’s , late 1800’s farm house. It was in good condition and for sale when we bought our home. But it takes two , and good for you two. The house was torn down two years ago , and a new subdivision has taken it’s The donkeys are so cute.
What a charming chateau, I can see i am not the only one who loves the armoires. And the garden is huge and beautiful. I cannot wait to see what wonderful things you will do for the garden....xxx
I have had horses for 30 years. It may be possible your donkey has Cushing decease. It is a metabolic decease, one of the symptoms can be not shedding out or a long coat. It is very easy to diagnose with a simple blood test and is not expensive to treat. But if he does have Cushings you will want to know because they are more prone to laminitis. All the best.
They are all pretty armoire. Love the carvings!! Love how the feet on that one was-before the woodworms! That you know what to use to clear out the woodworms is cool. Oh, one that came with a key. I agree that the doors with the egg and darts in the middle of the design are the most pretty-have the lovely carvings with that at the center. Fun, fun, fun! I believe that you can find the matching foot-feet for the woodworms eatings--and it would sure help with the authenticity. Nevertheless, what a find! Terri from SC-USA
Those armoires are stunning! It’s wonderful that all the pieces are still there I love standing in fields, I love the wide open space and possibilities ❤️
I love the doors and can't wait to see them in home positions you put them on. The guest room looks fabulous, you're painting. The love you're showing your donkeys and cats areas are Fantastic!
Tip: put the paint roller on a broomstick...saves you a lot of ladder climbing and you have larger strokes....but maybe you know that already. Enjoy your videos very much...thanks for sharing🥰🌺
Thanks for sharing your journey! It's a treat to see all the unique architectural details up close. Beautiful property. Wishing you all the best of restorations and fortunes.
Once those doors are cleaned up they will awesome. Your animals have the good life there. Like how you two don't stress over the work. You go at your own pace. Only complaint is that the audio is not clear at times. I just put on the closed captioning. Take care and enjoy your week.
Great jobb you do with a wonderful Chateau! I fint know what you have done with the armoires already. You can test the wood that has been destroyed with a wood-hardener liquid. I've seen it done in other vlogs with great result. I'm looking forward to see them restored and to be used again 🥰
That was great! Standing, sitting enjoy the peaceful setting! The armoires are beautiful treasures. Will you oil them after you treat the wood? Your animals all look content and happy, I think partly because of the beautiful nature surrounding them and also because you and Lincoln seem very peaceful and soft spoken. The guest room has come so far. You have a beautiful eye for making the chateau very lovely. The little patio outside your chateau door where you sit with your Rose wine to enjoy the view is so very French. I love it!!! xx
Ok, what about some horses, nothing better than a relaxing countryside ride at the end of the day. Enjoy your wine, I also after a day in the garden am having a Pinot to relax with.
The armoires are beautiful and when cleaned and waxed shall have a superb patina. That large key looks 18th century to me. I have been an antiques dealer for 50 years. Feel free to ask me any qurstions you may have.
last years greens, swiss chard, produce this year's seeds. The smaller leaves are tender to eat and soon blooms appear, then your seed crop. Your have a beautiful property, thanks for sharing your adventure.
Thanks for the kitty intro. Love seeing the kits. Mimi is starting to enjoy herself! You are making great progress on the guest room and the armoires are beautiful. Too bad the kids do not like Swiss chard. Got a chuckle from your dry delivery of that fact!
Please note that veneer was used in the 17th and 18th century in France. The presence of veneer does not automatically date the object to the 20th century.
Some veneer, you may already know, is the "norm" for some original pieces and is meant to be saved as it was an original part of the furniture, whatever, in question. There is obviously some veneers just for veneers sake but just saying that veneer does not necessarily mean cheap or not good, etc. I'll bet you knew this-but thought I'd mention anyway. You all and your channel and work is just so well done and interesting. Thank you, Amanda and Lincoln from Terri, USA in the Deep South
Furniture makers put fake worm holes in their build, I’ve also done the same. But not to the extent you have on some of your pieces. They are nice, good luck. Beautiful cats. Of course the donkeys too. Oh , dogs as well.
Hello from Australia have been watching since you posted your channel Love your videos love the content .I wached a great video of another chateau restore and they used a wood product on the bugs when restoring the beams and around windows was a wood filler made a great job also they sprayed the who chateau for bug s . Good luck with your super adventure . I love how you look after your fur babies such lovely hearts
I think you might have furniture that was carved from wood from the estate. It's a bit crude in places so most likely done by an estate worker or a provincial carpenter
Dude... that chateau is beautiful! I can’t see to how this turns out. I’m doing an A-Frame build now so I know first hand that you’re in for a crazy-wild ride. Best of luck! 👍
Just curious have you ever had any spooky things happen in your chateau? I had an old house in Wisconsin and a lot of things happened. I got used to it. 👍 Believe it or not am more afraid of mice. 😳
@@OurFrenchChateau Hi it’s me again Judy. The house in Wisconsin (which I Lived in for two years was built in 1894.) A couple of things that were really scary for me I was going to hang lace window sheers that I just washed in my bedroom. I went downstairs to take them out of the washing machine to bring them upstairs. When I got back in my bedroom (only gone a few minutes) my middle dresser drawer which was large and it would lock in the back when you slide it in was in the middle of the room😫. Completely taken out of the dresser. My dog had his bed in front of that dresser NEVER slept again in his bed after that until I moved it. Mind you I had to sleep in this room. Another time I heard breaking glass in the middle of the night and when I got up to check nothing was broken. And nothing outside either. After that I went to bed with my headphones and let music play till I was ready to go to sleep. Scary stuff. I thought how in the world could a big dresser drawer that was full of clothes and you had to wiggle to get it unlatched from the back could have gotten on the floor a few feet from the dresser. Animals always they say sense when something is there. I am just glad I am not living there anymore. It’s good you don’t have anything.👍 Love your videos. God bless your new home with much happiness
Oh my gosh! That is the freakiest thing - I can’t believe you had to sleep in that room after that experience! I do love a good ghost story, as long as it doesn’t involve me ;)

It is great that the previous owners had left some of the original furniture from the original owners- you are so lucky 👍😇
This is quite a beautiful chateau, not too big, more human but elegant proportions and the out buildings are quite lovely as well and in amazingly good condition. I can completely understand falling in love with it!

This is fascinating. My husband and I completely enjoy watching the segments. If we were younger….
The furniture is stunning!! I wish we had furniture like that in North America. Quality and craftsmanship can be found all over Europe and rarely found here. What a shame.
All the furniture you found will look stunning once restored. I love the iron bed.
I love the iron bed too!
In pieces as old as those armoires, the woodworm just add character… so cool!
Yes, I call it patina !!
Those doors are so beautiful and it’s fantastic that they tried to keep them and didn’t just through them away and it’s so great that you will restore them.

Thanks for visiting from Memphis :) I was only there once - passing through and stopped at Graceland 😁
can't wait to see the wardrobe's put together They are beautiful
Thanks - me too :)
I loved it when he said a field of dreams because your chateau is a huge dream for millions of people. Congratulations
My new favourite château channel! So chill. Love your esthetic too.
Wow, thank you!
“Paint and Rose’ “best phrase ever😁
Lovely colors, marble was meant to come off, nice furniture, the cats are bookends. Lovely chateaux .

Beautiful finds! And even has the key attached, wonderful
I wonder this about every old home. Do you ever sense a presence?
I love your animals and they clearly love you. 💜💜💜
Never sensed anything. Yet!
Watching you two is so relaxing. You both seem like warm and genuinely kind people. The furniture and the home are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Great finds in storage! Love how the donkeys are the most effective organic waste composting system ever lol!
Such a lovely sanctuary for both animals and humans, so lovely to see summer i full swing as opposed to the nordic cold spring we have. ❤️
Thanks so much! 😊 I'm sure you'll get the warm weather soon :)
Ahhh a ten minute rosa break! So well deserved. i bet it only lasted five minutes. You guys work so hard!
How wonderful to just stand in your field and enjoy space and quiet and green!!!..that's all you have to do with it...but grazing and hay are practical uses ...as well !love the armoires!! So useful in a beautiful way!!

Oh what beautiful pieces! And don’t be sad you missed Bay to Breakers today! Ha!
Haha! Every year I would forget - we lived up the hill from the Panhandle and I would try to cross it. I also don't miss the 4/20 crowds!

Oh we do stress! I think the audio is wonky on Lincoln's end (his mic needs adjusting ) or he needs to speak louder.
What a find, love the armoires!! Outstanding in your field, that was great!

I think you guys are so lucky that the previous owner left some furniture!
That rosé break with the pups looked lovely💕
It was well needed that day!
Indeed, but you deserve longer. Cheers ,I cannot wait for more.
Would have enjoyed a video of you guys putting the pieces of the wardrobes & beds back together and putting them in a room????
Very pleasant indeed!

every video is like 15% better than the previous one, good job!

Yay! Love rose breaks (& the dogs loved them too😊)
Ok, what about some horses, nothing better than a relaxing countryside ride at the end of the day. Enjoy your wine, I also after a day in the garden am having a Pinot to relax with.
A rescue horse or two would be nice at some someday! Thanks for watching :)

Looks like this is going to be a fantastically decorated home 🙌🙌
Thanks - I hope so!
last years greens, swiss chard, produce this year's seeds. The smaller leaves are tender to eat and soon blooms appear, then your seed crop. Your have a beautiful property, thanks for sharing your adventure.
Ah yes, I planted too much Swiss chard I thought I'd sacrifice some for the donkeys! Thank you for watching :)
@@OurFrenchChateau the happy donkeys must have enjoyed the treat. Bonne chance pour vos projets!
Oh wow I love your old cottage, that huge stone fireplace is amazing 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
this cabinet (L) surely is from 17xx...
very old!...and beautiful!

True!
Deux chats!! C'est merveilleux!
wow, nice
Thanks!
Bonjour. Guess who !!! Another idea for antique armoirs with onlly thed doors left is to use them as long CUPBOARD doors, maybe in the kitchen.
So fun watching you, love these old Narnia wardrobes! This is such a beautiful place!🇬🇧👍❤️
Thank you for your Vlog. Love your videos and what you are doing at the Chateau. Greetings from Doris in Australia 🙂
Interesting investigation to find where each door orginally was hanged before choosing door
Lucky armoire finds! They are lovely but require some elbow grease.
Very true!
Treasures! What a find.
How exciting to unwrap all th goodies and figure them out!! ts, USA
De plus en plus sympa votre vlog merci

Furniture makers put fake worm holes in their build, I’ve also done the same. But not to the extent you have on some of your pieces. They are nice, good luck.
Beautiful cats. Of course the donkeys too. Oh , dogs as well.
I had no idea furniture makers did that! Thanks for watching :)
You are so lucky to find these treasures !! They are definitely 17th century
They are definitely end XVIII - XIX century. They are called "armoire normande". they are very common, every french familly had one or more.
You could put a pool in with pool house and make it look like it was part of the château or orangery or even a glass green house 🥰
Oh goodness, you have a sweet tripod pup. We have two ourselves.
Wow - you have two! So sweet :)
How many multi family homes or neighborhoods could fit in that field?😂😂😂. I love that you love animals💗🌸💗
Haha! Funny, I thought the same thing about the houses!
There is a wood filler you can put on after the woodworm is treated.
Hello from Australia have been watching since you posted your channel Love your videos love the content .I wached a great video of another chateau restore and they used a wood product on the bugs when restoring the beams and around windows was a wood filler made a great job also they sprayed the who chateau for bug s . Good luck with your super adventure . I love how you look after your fur babies such lovely hearts
Thanks! Yes, lots of products to explore for bugs...
I think you might have furniture that was carved from wood from the estate. It's a bit crude in places so most likely done by an estate worker or a provincial carpenter
Whatever the case they are worth preserving and wouldn't it be great if they were home grown and milled and created for the chateau
Yes, we were wondering if they were made here...
You csn this stuff that hardens the wood while you rebuild area like a putty or bondo
Dude... that chateau is beautiful! I can’t see to how this turns out. I’m doing an A-Frame build now so I know first hand that you’re in for a crazy-wild ride. Best of luck! 👍
Thanks Darryl :) Best of luck with your build!
Would that plastic wrap be from? 20th century? 1970’s?
👍👍❤
I think Fig said “Where’s MY tray?” 🤣
haha - he's too polite to ask for anything.
Borax is good for wood worms it is not toxic
It’s so peaceful there. Do you miss San Francisco?
Not really!
❤
😊👍
Sometimes when a donkey or a horse doesn't lose its winter coat, can be an indicator they need to be wormed.
He’s been tested for parasites, all clear. He’s been losing his coat, just brushed him :)
Antique treasure versus unrestored junk. All hail the eye of the beholders and salute to hard work / restoration. A’bientot from Cleguerec 💙🤍❤️👍🇫🇷🍷🇬🇧
Merci Christophe :)
Just curious have you ever had any spooky things happen in your chateau? I had an old house in Wisconsin and a lot of things happened. I got used to it. 👍 Believe it or not am more afraid of mice. 😳
Not yet Judy! It feels very calm, although there's a spot outside beneath the giant rhododendron that feels a little spooky. You must've been brave!
