This gentleman needs his own tv show! A very approachable succinct and down to earth aristocrat !
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!

@@kindlydude as fascinated as I was with the history on its own merit, the host is really what selled it.

prévoir traduction en français .merci d'y penser
Give this man his own show! I could watch this all day
I usually never pay much attention to the narrator, but this guy is excellent at this. He keeps the listener drawn in. He is informative and charismatic. The rhythm of the narration was great and there was never a a dull moment!
I was a guide tour there 35 years ago (and am part of the family). Still I've learnt so much! Bravo and thank you Sebastian for a wonderful tour of the castle.
tu blagues! -
un rêve c'est mieux comme tu l'as fait: temporairement

Sebastian is a great guide really , I enjoyed watching.
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 Que veux-tu dire par là ? 🙂
My farm in Virginia has been in the family for over 300 years it was a King George land grant of 1722. This is amazing for any family to be able to keep anything for that long in the same family for 700 years! Congratulations not just the castle or the upkeep but keeping the line going!!! Deo Vindice
so your family stole land that never belonged to king george in the first place
I think you mean it was a land "grant" of 1722. Btw that's great!
Not just keeping the land and castles, they managed to keep their heads through 1789.
It's slightly easier to keep a house in your family for generations when it has towers, arrow slits and murder holes.😂
Don't worry, cultural enrichment will take care of all these castles and family estates. By the end of this century, the new french will occupy all of them.
This guy needs his own history show, he is an excellent presenter.
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!
What a great gentleman. He was obviously born very privileged and could've easily gone down the path of cavalier indifference and reckless prodigality. However, his passion for history and his property make him and ideal custodian and guardian of not only his family's but France's heritage.
Was very pleased to get to know more about the castle and the man caring for it.
"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 guys a french count who by the sounds of him went to British boarding school, it's fair to say he's had some priveledge
But I hear a lot of name dropping. LOL!
@@123benny4 Yes, we all know Charlemagne 😂😂
Reckless prodigality is the worst.
Hands down one of the very the BEST tours of a castle or chateau on RUclips. He gave you history and pointed out a number of "little" facts that kept me glued to my seat. 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!
Gentleman Jeffm . May you lead me and kind of seat to Tung IT house in Vietnam . And Tung has a talk show about his family life and all of his soul world .
What an incredibly gracious host, brimming with knowledge and a marvellously polished delivery of facts, anecdotes and historical context. This was a joy to watch, a pleasure to listen to and a feast for the imagination. The content & presentation was superb! Merci
What? He forgot to mention diseases when sieging. And does that actually make a toilet that dumps outside the castle an integral part of the siege defense?
@@madjack7777lol always that one guy who will find something arbitrary to complain about
He should be knowledgeable, he's the owner of the castle and it's 700 years of HIS family history
@@madjack7777 the castle was never attacked or sieged in 700 years and he never said that about the toilet. Did you even watch this?
@@himenyx153 I wasn't talking to you.
I've seen abandoned castles where families who used to own them no longer has the capacity to restore them to its former glory. Glad to see that there are still castles like this that are well preserved.
It’s often hard for individuals to go up against English Heritage which just seems faceless
I could listen to this gentleman speak for HOURS.
Me too … best narrator I have come across😊
Un français qui parle un aussi bon anglais ?!? Du jamais vu !!! Visite super intéressante
Il a certainement pris des cours avec un anglais ou une anglaise. Son accent britannique est très bon. Maitriser à la perfection la structure sonore de chaque mot, tout en s'exprimant avec fluidité n'est pas une mince affaire. Il y arrive presque, presque. Mieux que beaucoup de français qui résident en Angleterre depuis des années.
Quelques années en Boarding School en Angleterre...
@@FromAgen C’est vrai. Mais il y a quelques petites erreurs qui montrent qu’il n’est pas anglais, par exemple un anglais ne dirait pas "south-east from Bordeaux" mais "south-east of Bordeaux".
@@FromAgen C'est commun dans l'aristocratie d'avoir des précepteurs anglais pour l'anglais, il y avait aussi le cas de l'ancien patron du SDECE Alexandre de Marenches qui avait fait étalage de son excellent anglais chez Charlie Rose en 1992
@@FromAgen Et même mieux que beucoup d'anglais. Je suis impressionné!
The owner gave a great tour. I love his manner of speaking and presentation. Thank you for letting us inside!
This is possibly the best documentary I have seen in this series. So much information. I came to know Viollet- Le-Duc in my twenties, marvelling at Carcassonne s walls and city.
It was an honor to have you educate us on your home. So much history with so little time. Thank you!
This gentleman is just the best. Obviously, the genetics which preserved his family seat are still strong. What a place, what a guy! I’m blown away, and feel quite humbled. Merci.
Quick! Thought police! This guy says genetics contribute to a person’s disposition! Get the inquisitor and the cancel hammer! ;)

You have to be American.
@@guyfromthe80s92 I can switch to a different American stereotype if you like.

Ok, I'm seriously impressed with this man's knowledge, his eloquent speech and soft delivery. Easy on the ears and very interesting! Thank you.
Omg i want this man to be my history professor at the University. He is so damn informative, professional..I can listen him long hours with so much interest..Also top the exam...He is def a good speaker/narrator. Thank you for this beautiful tour..❤
This is like a dream. A castle in such state, renovating based on a original watercolors! Truly unique
I live in NZ and have been a lover of all things French since my teens (1960s). I have managed to visit France twice and just adore the country and the people. I feel so much peace in my spirit when I am there. What a sense of belonging you must have to live in the place where your family has lived for 700 years. God bless you.
That's a bit of a strange thing to say about France. Lol. The people are known to be cold and hostile to foreigners and angry at Anglo-Saxons for everything bad that's ever happened to them 😂
As James May says "France is just a place you drive through on your way to Italy."
@@OneWayToPeaceOrthodoxy we're kiwis, that makes all the difference.
@@OneWayToPeaceOrthodoxy There are welcoming people and grumpy individuals everywhere. I found French people perfectly fine on the whole and i'm from the UK. Sure there were a few impolite people, but there are plenty of those at home too.
Margaret j'espère que vous avez épousé un français.😉
@@OneWayToPeaceOrthodoxy En traversant la France ce monsieur en a oublié 20000 en Dordogne.
Phenomenal tour! From historical context, to art and life at the castel. Plus the perfect english with a welcome dash of british humour. Pas mal!
Cher Monsieur de Baritault, inutile de vous féliciter pour votre présentation plus que parfaite de votre patrimoine historique car plusieurs avant moi l’avaient déjà fait. 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
Of this I be certain, the Ancestors of this remarkable Gentleman, a genuine Aristocrat, are most assuredly, proud of him. Thank you ever so much for the invitation to enter your Castle. I was made to feel welcome
❤❤❤
This is why Art Nouveau so similar to medieval decoration art. It roots from it.
You are a wonderful narrator. You must have had a career in the theater.
Sire brauchte kein Theater, wenn er auch Englisch spricht, er ist ein französischer Edelmann. Das geistreich Sprechen liegt im Blut.
@@petermuller3530 Sein Englisch ist ausgezeichnet. Er spricht mit einem besseren Akzent als viele Engländer!
His sense of humour is very refreshing 😂😂😂
It was a really wonderful 32 minutes in the company of Mr. Sébastien, in which he opened his property so that people, also from other continents as in my case, had the opportunity to discover such an architectural treasure and its rich history. Thank you very much.
One of the finest Castles 🏰 on earth . Your presentation of this magnificent castle and its history in my view are one of the finest available on you tube . Cant wait to see end result . Thank you so much! what a fascinating video .
I was sad that the end came so soon. I wanted to see more. The history and grandeur of this place is amazing.
Anyone else suddenly seized by a tremendous urge to go to France?
How lucky they are across the pond to be surrounded by such history! Thank you for sharing, sir.
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.
@@feudinggreeks3316We can only hope these structures don't get a taste of "cultural enrichment".
Your ancestors must be bursting with pride at such an enlightening presentation. Thank you.
Excellent English and a great storyteller and historian! Thank you so much!

"Match, hatch and dispatch". This gentleman is amazing! Remarkable host for I feel as though he's invited me into his home in such a welcoming way. This is one of my favourite tours of the past. Imagine tracing your property to Charlemagne and your family home to the 1300s. ❤❤❤❤❤
You did a brilliant job not only in presenting the history of the castle but providing a great picture of things medieval. One of the best history lessons in a short time. Do more please and thank you.
Beautifully presented, what a charming fellow and fascinating castle. Merci!
Château de Roquetaillade may very probably be the very best of So Châteaux documentaries, our host and domanial owner is truly a phenomenal teller, I thank for the best presentation I have ever enjoyed on this very channel. Long Life to Roquetaillade.
Of all the castle history/restoration videos I've watched, this by far was the most informative, most interesting, and most well-presented. Very engaging and articulate host! Thank you for the presentation. :)
The host is the owner.
@@Veronica.John10-10yeah: that's what the word means : )
not all rich are idiots - although you can tell he needs resources $$
pray he gets them -
so nice the chapel is Active
I appreciate how he did both the French and English pronunciations for Eugène Viollet-le-Duc lol
The Leduc connection was an unexpected twist. What an incredible artistic heritage that place contains in addition to the immense historical significance. Clearly there is something charmed about that site to be so blessed with such vibrant activity as well as continuity.
A grand seat with able and passionate guardians. Beautiful.
One of the best narrators I have heard. Perfect pace and mix of context information and details.
This 30 minute flew like 5 seconds. This man is really classy spokesman, and guide. Could've listen to him for hours.
What a fabulous, in-depth presentation of a most beautiful chateaux. Obviously, this gentleman loves his family home. So much detail presented regards to art and architecture. I know I will be watching this tour more than once!
Just an amazing documentary! He doesnt give us a summarized history of the castle, he goes in depth about the smaller details which is what always gets my curiosity.
Magnificent legacy.
What makes it more difficult is to maintain such an expensive castle through different times.
I'm sure the owner is wealthy, but to keep wealthy for 700 years through the revolution, Napoleon, WW1 and 2 is something.
the color palettes Viollet-le-Duc has used are just mesmerizing and what a great narrator and gentleman Sébastien de Baritault is.
Blown away by this man's documentary style. Chapeau
¡WOW! THE CHAPEL
Sébastien de Baritault, thank you, you did a masterful job sharing your deep knowledge of your home. At no time did you leave the viewer behind. Your work honors your family and adds to your legend as proper stewards of your inheritance. I suspect many men would be crushed by weight of continuing to shower the grand old lady with love. I'm lifting a snifter of cognac tonight in your honor. (Normally I don't drink to people, preferring to savor the brandy in peace without other thoughts in my head) A question... have you ever been tempted to run away from it all?
The chateau is incredible inside. Le Duc was a genius! Charming host!!
The knowledge, humour, and skill of speaking are excellent! Mercy, Monsieur et team!
This chateau is breathtaking! Thank you for sharing it ❤❤❤
Stunning chateau! Viollet le Duc's work is really wonderful. What a treasure!
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.
What a masterful presentation by this gentleman. Wonderful display of knowledge with great amount of interesting presentation.
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!

You're the coolest castle-owner with the coolest castle. Thanks!
This video was so enjoyable, I didn't want it to end!!!
Incroyable et surtout, Incroyable niveau en anglais aussi, c'est assez rare de trouver des Français qui parlent un si bon anglais avec un accent quasi parfait. Incredible and especially, incredible english skills... it's so rare to have French people with such a good accent and fluent like this.
What a pleasure to visit & see the inside of a 'live' castle so old & yet still very loved & lived in - a wonderful presentation by the current owner of such an ancient family of his wonderful home. 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. Thank you so much to the owner for this gracious tour of his home - I really appreciate it !
Thank you so much for this tour and history lessons. Truly fascinating.
True. Also it seems Roger Moore came from a long list of bond actors/tax evaders. Sean Connery was another famous one
Magnífico!!! todo nos mantiene expectante, sin aliento......para no perder ni una palabra de la historia, tan atrapante y al final el golpe de gracia!!! ese espléndido art nouveau que crea Viollete Le Duc que eleva el alma. Excelente narrador, pausado sabiendo el efecto que causa, muchas gracias Sr. Sébastien de Baritault un honor para sus antepasados.
Delightful storytelling with quasi flawless English. Excellent stuff
Thank you for sharing your knowledge about your ancestral home and allowing us the pleasure to see some of it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the owners' very knowledgeable history about his castle. The architecture and tiling in the Church was just mind blowing. You will never find such beauty and craftsmanship in today's age. I hope to visit one day 😊
I’m currently in Germany and will be Traveling to France with my Family soon. I think I’m going to be stoping by and give this place a Visit. Amazing structure and an amazing Family. Well done🤝❤️
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 gotta say as an art history student and also an amateur drawer I’m absolutely baffaled at the fact how much this castle is beautiful along with the chapel. I just have one question: What kind of a ghost is in that green room?
What an extremely impressive man.He knows so much about this castle his subject and delivers his knowledge so beautifully; I wish him every success in his endeavor.Sébastien de Baritault you have accomplished so much already,I'm sure you will go on to even greater achievement.🙏
Of course he does he owns it!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!! Your intimate knowledge of the Chateau, attention to detail and passion for the subject make this “little” documentary one of the heaviest hitters I’ve ever seen! Looking forward to spending the afternoon watching the other episodes…
Thank you. This is a most insightful presentation. Violet's work remains outstanding, especially in modern times.
Excellent !!! One of the best - if not THE BEST - tours in this series !!! Congratulations and Thank You !!! All the best in your restoration works.
Absolutely fantastic.. I was glued to the tv.. outstanding history of a beautiful castle in a beautiful region of France 🇫🇷. This man must have irish blood because he definitely knows how to tell a story , I was captivated... viva la France 🇫🇷...
Monsieur de Baritault: please do more videos and perhaps have your own channel. You are a natural, gifted presenter. Thank you very much! Beautifully done.
Top notch tour and background info. Very fluid and watchable.
The historical narration is very informative. Glad the chateau remained in the family for such a long period of time. The eventual completion of those frescoes would be satisfying to all. Maybe the rooms could be opened to the public without restoration. Many people welcome small imperfections. Keep up the good work.
"Match, Hatch and Dispatch" has now entered my vernacular.
such a fascinating story! the owner is an amazing storyteller, i loved how he transported us into the medieval times
Fascinating tour. Would like to see more.
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.👍
Excuse me, I need to pick my jaw up from the floor! This chateau is gorgeous, and it was well presented. Merci !!!
this guy NEEDS to be hired to make history videos !! very very very good !!
Absolutely fascinating! I loved your narration and the history of the chateau. The old castle : I'd love to see more of since after 25 years of work, I've recently completed my family tree tracing back to Charlemagne and the Merovingian kings. Thanks and greetings from Australia.
Yeah same dude, I although only going down one of my great grandparents line have traced all the way back to Norman nobles within early creation of Scottish clans (I’m English btw)
tree to charlemagne en merovingian kings..... ROLF!!!!!! This is the most ridiculous comment of the year
i'm stunned by his accent ! sounds very natural if i didn't know he was french i couldn't tell !
the video was fantastic !!
His mom is Rosaline Bell, British
A Family that survived The Hundred Years War, The Great Terror, WW1 and WWll , pretty impressive. Here in the US if something gets to 125 years it considered old. There are just a few older than 200 but to see a structure in the same family is just amazing. Must not be an inheritance tax. Thanks for the short tour loved it.
That was totally fascinating and so well presented. Many thanks.
I’d love to tour it! I’m sharing in your enthusiasm immensely!!
What an amazing video! This gentleman needs to be promoted to have his own YT program with monthly content 🤘😎
I concur with many comments here, the owner/presenter of this episode is well versed and speaks clearly and to the point, makes the whole journey to the past through this castle very enjoyable and entertaining.
Sir, your family chateau is beautiful & full of History! I love the dining hall with its painted arches that reminds one of the glorious past.Thank you.
Fascinating, beautiful and full of wonderful history!! Enjoyed this soo much! You are a wonderful teacher and speaker! Thx you!
I praise the patience of these artisans & marvel at the visionaries who made these magnificent, elegant interiors/ buildings possible.
These places will be enjoyed by generations of people. Once seen never forgotten.❤
Thank you so much for the guided tour. I loved the attention to detail & the time & effort you put into this. A joy to watch. Appreciate you. 😁🙏
Thankyou for opening your beautiful Chateau to us! Really appreciate your gift to us!
What a delight to see this castle and the chapel is awesomely beautiful!!! Outstanding colors. Thank you so very much for sharing this outstanding Chateaux! All the best to you all.
What a fascinating tour with so much historical information. A very unique castle. I am so glad that there are now some windows. Thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome! Fantastic castle and presentation. I appreciate the tour.
Thank you.
I would love to still have something like this connected to my family but unfortunately my 11th great grandfather James Robert Ware lost his property after the English civil war and moved to America
What a wonderful and informative tour. ThankYou for sharing!
Wow! This American can only dream of seeing something this old. I love genealogy and I would love to see their family lineage. Thank you for the wonderful video ❤
