      Yes, the gentleman-of-the-castle seems to have that rare quality of being both affable (friendly) and yet astute and erudite at the same time ...a very rare and balanced personality. Would LOVE to see this exquisitely painted/decorated and renovated castle someday. What an amazing "Father-of-Art Nouveau" artist and architect was Viollet-le-Duc! The colors in the second room featured ...the dining room I think, so keenly remind me of the animal and decorative motifs and the colors of yellow, mauve, red, and pale turquoise (or pale Wedgwood blue?) of the artist Brumidi who painted the corridors of the U.S.A. Capitol Building. Simply exquisite dining room!! Thank you for the tour and charmingly informative information!

    You might own the castle but anyone watching can see it owns your heart, and in the modern age lives and breaths through you. You clearly see yourself as a custodian of history. It's easy to be jealous but owning a castle probably takes over your life, your lucky that you have the passion to do this, and so are we!

Ce qui me surprend le plus c’est votre maîtrise de la langue de Shakespeare avec un accent qui ravit les oreilles. Où avez-vous appris cela car j’ai rarement le plaisir d’entendre une telle élocution, surtout en me rendant en Angleterre. Bien cordialement Charles

If I could only show someone one video on this subject, this would be the one I'd show them. This of course would mess them up because then they would want/expect everyone else to give as good of a tour of their property as they experienced with this tour! OUTSTANDING AND WELL DONE!

      "He was obviously born very privileged", not necessarily, the wealth of these old estates was in the land that they controlled and I doubt that they own much more than the grounds that this castle is on which they make their money off of by giving tours. The landed aristocracy pretty much went broke all over Europe by the 19th century or before. What is amazing is that the family back in the day put so much money into an old castle, most of them just left them to rot or used the stone to build a more modern house.

The painted ceilings are incredible & so lovely to see them still so colorful & mostly just like new. I love to view castles all over yet most of them are ruins & it is hard to picture how they might have looked with furnishings & family touches. This shows how a wealthy family actually lived hundreds of years ago - of course there were many servants to keep it all going , and now must be very much harder without that work force available.

    Wonderful video of the castle’s history, the family and the restoration/conservation. Mr de Baritault is a born narrator. I really enjoyed listening to his story. Great English by the way.👍

    what an amazing home, tour and tour guide! its also just amazing that it has been in his family for 700 years. i dont even know who my paternal great grandfather is from the early 20th century let alone a single thing about 700 years ago. very cool to see others with so much knowledge of their family history and the story of the property theyve owned for so long.

    Chapel is absolutely incredible. Chateau’s interior beyond words. If I manage another trip to Europe would love to visit what is now a growing list of these magnificent buildings. Love to hear the history of the both the people and the construction.

      I don't know. France is letting way too many violent Islamic and Algerian migrants in, and recently they've been spreading to the countryside. Not a people I would want to interact with or be around. I really want to visit historic French structures like old cathedrals, castles and such, but their lax border policies make it distasteful.

      ​@@feudinggreeks3316Je suis français et je vie bien évidemment en France.
      N'écoutez pas les médias et les imbéciles qui disent n'importe quoi.
      L'immigration se passe très bien dans l'ensemble et la France reste un pays très sécurisé. (En plus il y à quasiment pas d'immigrés dans les petites villes et campagnes).
      Mais la fortune des riches en France devient tellement indécente qu'ils ont décidés de stigmatiser les immigrés pour pas que le peuple se concentre sur ces inégalités abyssales. (Car les médias pour une grande partie sont possédés par les premières fortunes).
      Le vrai problème de la France n'est pas l'immigration, mais que 10% de la population possèdent tout.
      Alors que sans les immigrés qui font tournés le pays, la France qui à une population autochtone très vieille n'arriverait plus à faire tourner le pays.
