This isn’t was only a castle tour, this was a master class of design, art and culture. Bravo!
" this isn't was "
Yes! A Master Class Indeed!! What a Joy to visit Senor Juan Pablo's s residence. I like the way that he is proud of his Magnificent Home ( I have a 1 bedroom Apartment, and Thanks to Senor Molyneux' description of his incredible Home, I Will Do The Same at My Own Home....WOW!!!!❤). "WONDERFUL"
His knowledge of the history of every item is so exceptionally extensive and detailed.
What an elegant man and what he did to the Chateau is simply magnificent. This tour, inside and out, was just magical!
So elegant. The architecture is stunning.
My thoughts exactly.
Love this elegant man and his extraordinary chateau. Thank you 🇨🇦❤😊
Marvelous man
Elegant gentleman he certainly is, and it's delightful.
This is the most exquisitely decorated chateau I’ve ever seen… So artistic but also totally livable!
Please be very careful using Soviet era items the way that you are using that case as a bar. Many of those items have lead-based paint, and it never stops off-gassing.
You need to watch the interior of the Chateau du Champ de Bataille, owned by interior designer Jacques Garcia, it's on another scale, to say the least.
Was going to say that exactly. His friends and family are very lucky to be able to stay.
@@jrd3523 Chateau du Champ de Bataille is beautifully restored but to live in I would - no doubt - prefer the Chateau de Pouy-sur-Vannes
Totally agree!
This is not just interior design, he created a piece of art; the way he renovated the attic is brilliant. This tour reminds us that beauty cannot be improvised, it does not imitate anything but it is generated by means of culture .Never seen such a smart and tastefull restoration.
You have described the castle and the grounds perfectly!
I have lived through many Chateau tours....... but nothing has evoked the feelings I have been experiencing through the person of Juan Pablo Molyneux and this Chateau. It has been a soothing, exquisite and sublime experience. The gentleman has clearly returned home. It is only 900 years give or take some decades.... but he did it. Juan Pablo Molyneux truly has brought this Chateau back to being a home. 90% of my joy is for that reason alone.
Spectacular! Am I the only person who also wanted to see the kitchen?
Which one!
@@PsulOrtizany, all!
Or the bathrooms?!
Yes, the kitchen and a bathroom too. Wouldn't been nice to see it. Im sure it is beautiful like the rest of the castle.
100% wanted to see the kitchen via the elevator. darn
I am so enchanted by this lovely man and his timeless Chateau! It truly takes my breath away. Thank you for sharing your love for this renovation work, the passionate level of detail and elegant perfection. It was an honor to spend time in your presence! 🥂
Juan Molyneus is beyond superlative as a designer in everything he creates, and what he has done here is unquestionably an absolute masterpiece.
Remarkable attic, beams, fabric covering. Jean Pablo is a decorating genius. How wonderful that he shares it on You Tube.
Yes, the preservation of the wall panels and the waterways. Amazing. Lets not mention how expensive. Thanks for telling me about Alexandr Rodchenko. I think its all reflected in the attic supports, what an attic. I love the lift . So practical. A place for artisans, a swimming pool for the birds. Juan Pablo has great taste and style.
What a joy to watch the love of renovating this beautiful chateau. I will enjoy watching many times.
@@judytelles3518a joy indeed! The Rodchenko pieces were a delightful surprise, and so thoughtfully placed in situ. I wrote a paper in grad school about constructivism and its meld of "fine" art and architecture and the remarkable way he cross-polinated those pieces into the engineering feat that is that pyramid, and the print references with the wall coverings he introduced into that space spoke volumes to me.
I've seen many but this left me speechless. He gave us a beautiful tour and I thank him for sharing it with the world.
What an extraordinary castle chateau and how beautifully renovated it is! Mr. Molyneux is quite extraordinary himself, as was the graciously generous tour he gave! Thank you, sir!
Juan Pablo Molyneux has every reason to be proud. The Chateau is beautiful! Thank you for the tour. 😊
This has been one of the most amazing tour that I've seen !! Bravo to Mr Molyneux and his wife Pilar. I own his book that showcased three of his properties and to have a visual and engaging walk through the Chateau gives me an even deeper appreciation for his talent and vision. I appreciate his frankess in acknowledging that although he may not see all his vision in it's full maturity, the passion for the process does not wane. Truly inspirational !!
Furnishings all
So elegant & lovely
Perfect combination of elegance and knowledge congrat Juan Pablo and Pilar !
If I ever buy a chateau, I hope he’ll help me design and decorate it!
And yet it will again fall away…what an elegant man and what a beautiful undertaking…open to almost none, except through RUclips…is that the same…wealth and a closed world for most…
The attic is phenominal , so unique and a masterpiece! The entire estate is amazing.
Sublime! To enjoy even an hour of M. Molyneux’s superb creation was fantastic! The love and care, not to mention the exquisite sensibility infusing every choice, has created what must be the most beautiful chateau in France, maybe even the world. It felt like an honour to watch this video, a feeling I’ve never experienced before. I want to re-watch the video to enjoy every discovery again!❤
The Château renovation is a project to be proud of.
Merci, Juan Pablo.
Covering the wood paneling with velvet was brilliant!
OMG YES!
Ok, I officially love this chateau. The amount of librarys is a selling point for me :)
Everything is beyond exquisite..
Kudos to him for showing such love, attention & details towards restoring Chateau de Pouy-sur-Vannes. Wish there was more people like him in this world. Beautifully done Sir!
This house is so well done by its lovable artist owner. He didn’t miss the slightest detail!
Watching now from the U.S. This video is making my morning. Such an elegant home and eloquent host. Thank you so much for this rare treat.
Just delightful. Growing up in England in a very old, but cold house. Moving to the U.S. I totally get the comfort side. The thought and love you have put into this chateau, is so very touching. Thank you so much for sharing.
So beautiful!!!!! A place that came back to life and be enjoyed for more centuries to come!
The attic, cave, and gardens were such a surprise. What a wonderful update of an historic structure.
This was my favorite chateau tour ever as you can see the painstaking details that were done beautifully and Juan Pablo also designed the chateau with an “out of the box” aesthetic. The mixtures is old and new objects and furniture are not only stunning but as he said it was a home and not a museum. I was inspired by every inch of this chateau. What an amazing home to have, for me it’s heaven on earth.
This is truly the home of an artist..❤
“The sound of the water while playing tennis” I love that! It’s like the Cherubs on the lily pads. Who can describe such wonderful feelings!?
What a delight to see this restoration. He has managed to perfectly balance the past with the present ❤
This has been the most extraordinary Château tour that I have seen. What Juan Pablo Molyneux has done to bring this place to life is a Renaissance of beauty. It is inspiring. I am so grateful to have been able to experience through the visual and his story telling the beauty and history of this place.
What a magnificent Chateau! ❤
Such an honour to be taken on a tour by Juan Pablo Molyneux . Exciting to hear and see his thought process throughout the project. Incredible stewardship to breathe life into this lovely estate. Thanks for this wonderful opportunity to witness genius in action.
No words except the chateau is the true definition of wonderful.
just amazing I love how lovingly he describes EVERYTHING so livable...from USA and loving every minute of this!!! I want more please..
What an exceptional gentleman. Absolutely beautiful. There are no words to describe this paradise.
I am awestruck by your humanity and gentleness, and the sheer beauty that you have brought out from your vision--- amazing home obviously the history- centuries.. if the walls could talk! I believe you have brought the voice back into this home and made beautiful spaces- just incredible! Enjoyed this so much I didn't want it to end. Congratulations! live long and enjoy!
Огромное спасибо, Маэстро! How much can one person do with his work and his knowledge! And what wonderful words the Maestro said at the end of this wonderful tour! Only the active everyday life of our days can give a new life to the masterpiece of architecture of the past. Grazie anche a tutti quelli che hanno organizzato questa meravigliosa visita!
My mind is blown, so elegant, cozy, historical without being too too...the colors are simply amazing, this man is a genius for placement and pattern...in my mind it is perfect and comfortable...out of my league, but I can dream, right and apply his effects in my world and that is all I need, inspiration...thank you so much for sharing...!!!
This was spectacular - the most beautiful, livable chateau I have seen. He is a genius decorator!
восхитительно!Как горят у человека глаза,с какой любовью он об этом говорит-этот замок его гордость!Благодарю за возможность лицезреть всё это!Завораживает!
How can ruscists admire this chateau and at the same time destroy Ukrainian homes?
Médaille d'OR à Monsieur Molyneux 🎖
* La perfection est réalisée et le bon goût assuré !
Your love for art and history is evident . For many years I have admired M. Molyneux work , and this tour of his home and how he lovingly explains his journey, is simply delightful....Thank you for sharing your joy and creativity with us...❤ Genial!
It`s an enchanting chateau created with love and, certainly, it feels like a home ❤ not a museum. Juan Pablo Molyneux is a designer with exquisite taste. And a very important detail : I loved to see the sweetie dog ❤following his master all the time. Thank you for sharing !

Cuánto arte en cada detalle!! Ese ático!!! Verdadera Obra Maestra, desde su centenaria construcción a esta novel revitalización. Una visita de chateau que nutre al alma a cada segundo, hasta hacerte brotar lágrimas ante tal despliegue de talento para jugar con la belleza. Gracias!!! Juan Pablo
Not only was the tour amazing but one can learn SO much by listening to this amazing man! Truly loved this tour.
What a lovely, exquisite, man, his home,castle is beautiful ...I have never Seen anything decorated as magnificent of as this...the attention to details, and his knowledge of restoration should be admired....I can't imagine how much this cost to dedicate every inch to such high standards of materials and historic artifacts.....A brilliant man, a wonderful tour....it is magnificent
The "Sert type" paintings of Montgolfier balloons and other figures on the panelling are far superior to anything I have seen of Sert's own work!
Molyneux is a genius in the world of interior design. Needless to say, he is one of my favorites.
Moroccan joint. This palace is very beautiful, it has a soul, it has history, it has family memories, I love old places, antiques, and paintings. We are very grateful to the owner of this beautiful place because he presented part of his family’s past and shared it with us through this wonderful palace.
Great Video, Thank You. 🌲🌳
Juan Pablo Molyneux is an amazing designer and communicator. I love and agree with him to make the castle live again, as I feel very much the same way, and he has done a wonderous job of it. Thank-you, as I very much enjoyed this video.
es la tercera vez que veo este video , solo para escuchar el sr molyneux , que clase , que personalidad , que motivado y orgulloso de su castillo , la verdad una persona asi vale la pena sus vivencias , saludos desde mexico
Jean Pablo Molyneaux is an absolute treasure ❤His Chateau is exquisite. I love how different each room is, yet it all flows together perfectly. That painting that belonged to Marie Antoinette is stunning. I can see why she took it with her throughout her lifetime. It’s powerful.
Absolutely stunning, what a treat to watch such a talented, knowledgeable, & oh so passionate man give a tour of his wonderful chateau /home. Just jaw dropping beautiful . Thank you for the glimpse of your wonderful home & life. Bonjour de la Californie et encore merci☀️🌴fantastique
Magnificent property and tour. Thank you for showing this to us. I love the sound of water. Whenever I travel, I always gravitate towards bodies of water, whether it is the ocean, a river, gentle stream, water fountains or waterfalls.
Wow, just wow - JP Molyneux is a true master. Creating these wonderfully elegant interiors that still makes us feel at home. Thanks for making this tour of a fantastic home and also a big thanks to JP Molyneux for guiding us!
Dear Juan Pablo. Sincerest thanks that you have shared your wonderful chateau with the world. Simply superb, Douglas from Down Under.

Never ever seen such a great interior for the castle! Bravo❤
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR CHATEAUX!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR BEAUTIFUL MAGNIFICENT CREATIONS … YOUR LOVELY CHATEAUX!!!! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LOVING SOUL!!!💖💖💖💖💖
Wow. I don't know where to start. One of the most enjoyable tours I have ever seen. Such an elegant gentleman and he is beaming with love and pride of his home. I would not want to leave after staying at such a beautiful, peaceful and inviting home and spending many hours relaxing with such a marvelous host. I totally agree with him on the importance of the views to the outside of each room. Nothing dark and dreary about his castle. I hope many people have the pleasure of staying at such a wonderful place !! I could listen to him talk all day long. I watched this all the way from Texas, USA
C'EST TRES BIEN!
I’m in love with it all. From the formal rooms, the towers, the attic and the gardens. It’s exquisite. He has amazing taste and such attention to detail.
He has been one of my favorite designers for decades. Not at all surprised that he would do something this beautiful.
Просто великолепно! Очень-преочень красиво! Владелец просто гений❤
Extraordinary and spectacular! Very very beautiful, created with very much love and great taste
I really love all of this. Mssr Molyneux has extraordinary gifts for decor. I especially like the attic room.
Wow - I’ve just watched this twice - so beautiful, what a visionary talent Juan Pablo is and what a stunning home he has created and beautifully told story of the chateaux and its restoration ! Thank you ❤
ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS CHATEAUX!!!! YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLE DESIGNER AND ENGINEER!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
I absolutely love everything about it. Thank you!
What a honour for us to see how blessed you are. I agree your design is Exquisite. The most beautiful Chateau Interior and Gardens I have ever seen. It is a shame that the limestone facade of the Chateau could not be redone. Even so it is still a beautiful sight for the eye to behold. PS…Love your sweet dog too.
Spectacular! I love that he said of it: "It is my little true". That is what it's like when you live what you love. Thank you for the tour, and for making it young again in your own way, Juan Pablo Molyneux.
This was just fantastic! What a beautiful modern home this wonderful man has made of this ancient castle while still keeping the architectural integrity, history and charm. I just love it! I love the fact that every room is used an functional indoors and out.
BEAUTIFUL
I love Mr. Molyneux philosophy of making a living building young again! Sheer beauty throughout!
Замечательно, что дизайнер так восстановил красоту заброшенного замка! Доброго здоровья ему и творческих успехов в дальнейшей работе!
Words are hard to come by, in expressing the awesome of this castle. This wonderful man has not only brought the castle back to life, but achieved a beautifully comfortable home with museum quality furnishings. The grounds/gardens are so magnificent. The story of the castle was told in a wonderful expressive way. I sincerely pray that the next owner will maintain what this gentleman has so wonderfully designed. Enjoyed the tour so much.
What a beautiful man, and what a beautiful place he has created. Thank you, Juan-Pablo!
Oh Sir Molyneux!!!! Thank you for sharing this!!! I adore your talents, taste and wonderful, soft spoken spirit!! What a tribute to you and your passion for your craft and this treasure of a place!!!!
Браво! Потрясающий пример бережной реставрации и уважительного приспособления старинного здания под современные нужды!
I have never seen so beautiful and amazing castle but at the same time cozy and livable! The garden is magnificent. Also such elegant gentleman, and zero pretentious.
Simply stunning chateau from cave to attic! Wow, just wow! And the grounds, clay or grass court tennis, the pool house, oh, oh, oh.
Divine divine divine. Thank you for a tour of one of the most inviting, pleasurable and breathtaking homes that I have ever seen.
This was breathtaking….remarkable job done and I love how he preserved it according to the times we live it but yet still respecting the integrity. He’s brilliant
I loved the tour of such a beautiful home. Mr. Molyneux was a gracious and charming man. He was a wonderful guide.
Look how handsome he is with his snappy cool jacket! Red! My favorite color! Loved hearing some of the history of the Chateau! Beautifully decorated! Thanks for sharing!
What a wonderful Chateau. I love a lot of what I have seen in this
video. The whole place is fantastic. I think it is nice that you
can use the entire place. I really love the Round Library! I am glad
they use it for having Dinner in sometimes, I would. I love his sweet Dog
following Juan around. It would be nice to see a follow up video when they
get the other things done, the pond and everything else. The summery
at the start of this video is good, having it at the beginning of other
videos would be ok.
Jeff❤
Большое спасибо за чудесную экскурсию! Спасибо за любовь к искусству и за сохранение шедевров!
Stunning! Simply stunning! I know Juan Pablo Molyneux is a master of interior design, but what he has done in 13 years to make this chateau feel warm like a home is simply amazing. Bravo!
What a lovely tour. Juan Pablo is delightful and his chateau is perfection. Thank you so much for this video. ✨
Thank you for sharing your home, and knowledge.
What a delight to become acquainted with Juan Pablo Molyneux and his elegant and unique beautiful Chateau. To preserve such an incredible property is rare. I appreciate he shared it with us.
Thank you for an amazing tour of your chateau! I so appreciate your choice of furnishings from different countries that harmonize so beautifully. To me that makes a stunning environment more alive!
Well done!
It's truly wonderful when rich people preserve and bring to life a chateau or castle as a home again. Thank-you Juan, for the service to architecture and design you have rendered.
This restoration is miraculous! Thank you for sharing the story of the house and the painstaking, detail oriented descriptions that bring it to life. Bless you for having this vision and making the dream become a reality.
Magnificent restoration of an 800 year old chateau presented by such an extraordinary gentleman. Thank you for welcoming us in to view your home.
Such exquisite detail! I love his enthusiasm and ability to share his vision, from historic to contemporary (the Kalishnakov!), he has woven it together lovingly. Best wishes to his family and fortunate friends and guests. I have downloaded this to rewatch, and envision myself making full use of the pool, libraries, attic, basement, etc.!!😊❤
