Finally, a chateau youtube that are actually renovating correctly. You show great respect for the history of the building and architecture. I appreciate it very much. Thanks for taking the quality approach, it's no wonder the government grant and the support of so many French locals are given here. The French are quite serious about excellence, and you are approaching it thus.
Thank you for your message and your support
Chateau la ferte too!✨
I like that they are doing everything right myself not like some other channels.
Le chateau est classé aux " monuments historiques " , alors l' état finance 60% de la restauration avec un architecte agrée, dans le style exact de l' époque, tel qu'il était. Le " Loto du patrimoine " aide aussi, et une autre aide encore..
Deep respect for this restoration. Loved hearing about the different aspects of work. Masters in their fields. Romantic and captivating. Hello from Brisbane.
I agree! And hello from South Australia!
I follow a few châteaux vlogs, but yours is the one which most interests and excites me now. The craftsmanship, the pride in their work, the beauty. And your courage to take it on! The critical first step is to get the roof complete, everything follows that; the decoration will be fascinating to watch but that can be done over time, the roof is an emergency! Respect. 🌹🌹🇦🇺
Totally agree. Hello from Melbourne.
thank you so much
Thank you !
I am surprized, that you even dared to take this project on! Did you know, when you bought the Chateau, that you would be getting help from all of these conservation funds? I mean, what would you have done, if they had not stepped in, because the work and funds needed to restore the place, is mindblowing!
I was thinking the same thing. It’s captivating to see this wonderful chateau returning to its original splendor.
Seeing the stone artisans at work is fascinating. I am surprised to learn there are still such talented people doing that job. Good luck. I can’t imagine tackling such a huge job!
They truly are incredible!
bonjour, pour entretenir tout le patrimoine en france, avoir des ouvriers qualifiés dans la création ou la restauration est obligatoire, sinon plus rien...
Voir Chateau de Guedelon, 25ans déjà qu' ils construisent un chateau fort du XIII eme siècle avec les techniques du XIII !!!! a voir
I am so happy that I was able to watch this with the sub-titles.....it is so interesting and am very exciting to see the roof come to life again. This is going to be a wonderful restoration! Congratulations!
thank you so much
What a great presentation! The stone quarry, followed by the stonemasons, the carpenters, and the slate workers, each presented in order of task dependencies. The only thing missing was a presentation of the Spanish slate quarry, and perhaps a discussion on the different colors of slate at the quarry, as was done with the stone quarry. And maybe show us the tapas at a nearby Spanish restaurant, too. :)
Fascinating to view the different artisans restore to original specifications. Time consuming and very labor intensive but end result is a magnificent masterpiece. Enjoy viewing your journey and the patience required to meet the government requirements.
thank you so much
Simply fascinating. So glad that château Purnon is getting the attention it deserves.
Je suis heureux que ce château reprenne vie, je le croyais perdu à tout jamais, bravo au propriétaire et à tous ces ouvriers qui œuvrent pour son renouveau
Je suis étonné qu'il y ait aucun commentaire français pour un monument français
I can't wait to see her roof fully restored although I know its going to take alot of time and hardwork but the artisans make it look so easy ❤❤❤❤ The 360 views of purnon are stunning and gorgeous. It is definitely a labour of love and im here for it 🥰❤❤❤❤
Tombée par hasard sur les vidéos château de Purnon : je suis née à la Chapelle Belloin , dans ma jeunesse chaque année avait lieu l'assemblée de la "grande allée" .Le château avait fière allure à l'époque .
It’s marvelous that there are folks willing to combine time and vision and financially able to take on these significant restoration projects. Each château saved is a blessing for France and her history.
Deep respect for the renovation to what was. Big applause to the craftsmen that seem so young and in keeping with old traditions and craftsmanship.. I look forward to watching the journey.
Bravo à tous ces gens merveilleux qui s’occupent de restaurer dans le respect et l’amour ce chef d’œuvre de notre histoire.
The magnitude of this renovation is astounding as well as the craftsmanship. I can really tell that care and time have been taken to renovate this masterpiece.
Merveilleux projets et combien de talents dans ces ouvriers et architectes pour conserver ce patrimoine ! Bravo à tous !
Hello from Nashville, Tennessee! The complexity of this Chateau amazes and astounds me. I don't know if there are quicker ways to apply what the building needs but it's wonderful to know that there are people who still know and understand how to rebuild in the original way. It's truly a miracle that these people possess the same skills! Pernon has such a lovely and elegant frame. I can't wait to see when the roof is completed! I bet you can't either! Best of luck and please keep these videos coming! I love them! Thank you!
non pas un miracle, seulement des écoles , des formations, des apprentissages pour entretenir un grand patrimoine, sinon plus de chateaux, de manoirs, abbayes, monasteres, eglises, cathédrales, tableaux, scultures....depuis longtemps!!!
What I love is that the artisans are reconstructing the chateau in much the same or exactly the same manner as was done in her first construction. How wonderful to have people who can still do this work! Magnifique!
bonjour, La France a un tres grand patrimoine, qui n' existerait plus , si il n' y avais pas d' écoles, de formations, d' apprentissages aux métiers du patrimoine, dans tout les domaines
That cornice was so beautifully rendered. I sas brought to tears to see it lifted and placed where it belongs.....where it will reside for hundreds of years. Just warms my heart to see the love, skill, hard work, craftsmanship, comradery, and perseverance it takes to restore such a magnificent
Chateau.
This beautiful lady is smiling grandly, she is water tight and standing proud!❤
It must be amazing to see all the craftspeople busy with what they do best on your magnificent chateau...
The amazing trades lost to modernism. I’m in awe of these artists recreating to magnificence of past history.
I loved watching these techniques of the construction of the roof! You guys DO NOT get dishearted! There are a lot of people watching, praying and rooting for you guys! It’ll ALL be worth it ! And it’ll be absolutely beautiful!❤
What a fabulous video. Thanks so much for showing us all the different artisans that are involved in this monumental restoration. The chateau is so lucky that you are there to bring it back to life again.
Many thanks!
I've always insisted that if I ever restored a home, the roof and foundation would be my first projects. Once those are done, you know that no more water damage will happen.
Amazing to have the honor of restoring such a magnificent piece of history!
Thank you, that was very interesting. Long way to go but will look magnificent once it’s completed.
Absolutely amazing. It costs a great deal of money to do what they are doing. But they are saving a historical landmark by doing so. Well done.
Absolutely amazing! Seeing these artisans at work is very special. Merci!
OMG I loved this so much. Hearing these skilled tradesmen talk about what they were doing was fascinating. I could watch them work for hours. Also, the people overseeing the works etc were wonderful to listen to as they explained the choosing of the stone or the woodworking involved using traditional methods. Incredible.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Such a wonderful adventure. I would love to devote my life to such a cause.
Bravo pour votre travail colossal, je suis heureuse que notre beau patrimoine français soit sauvé par des gens courageux et passionnés.
Such a careful restoration. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your tradesmen really seem to be fantastic.
Thank you for the English subtitles. So sad I am not bilingual. At 75 and no French speakers around anytime in my life I think it is too late for me.
Fuck me ! Amazing. Really cool that some dudes from Australia are keen to take on such a monumental job. Good luck to them and thank you.
Hello from Maryland, USA! Such an interesting introduction to centuries old craftsmanship. I loved how confident Franck was with demonstrating his craft!
Crikey, what an undertaking, it's so good to watch artisans at work, and even better to know those skills still exist. Thank goodness for that, or all that work/history would be lost forever. Thank you, as all of us should be interested in preserving the 'savoir faire' of mankind.
Glad you enjoyed it
You will stand back and gaze upon it with such pride. Well done. She’s a beauty. Sending congratulations from Melbourne👊🏻👌🏻
Amazing everything you are doing is truly great but coming from a roofing company here in America that I do realize is not France but if I may ask the question on why Arnt they not outfitting a protective tarp on top of the wood before nailing on your beautiful tiles, just in case there’s a leak between the tiles or you loose a tile or two in a storm it’s all about keeping your beautiful roof staying beautiful for if there’s a leak your going to have a big problem trying to fix it. Well I hope I’m not to out if line by asking you maybe you could have them put something down as soon as you can that way your wood will always be protected from damage!! All the very best to you😊& your Lovely husband!! Love your videos!! Though everyone could agree we’d love to see more and longer videos but we’re selfish in that way, we so enjoy them!!! Stephanie USA New Mexico
The Château is classed Monument Historique, meaning all works on it must be as original as it was 250 years ago.
@@thierrymilan2039 okay was hoping maybe it might help your beautiful roof didn’t know if you all had any input in it. Technology can be great, but a curse as well!! Did you have to replace the wood frame, was their damage to it?? Or none at all would be very curious to know only for my own edification..? We work with a lot of customers here that love the Spanish tiles roofs though they are totally different from this but if you’re about to tell me that there wasn’t damage to the wood underneath those old tiles I will definitely keep this style in mind for the many clients moving here from Europe who have actually asked about this old style design. We’ve talked about offering it here but I want to make real sure we do it right & can make it cost effective? Thanks for your response!!
bonjour , l artisan le dis dans son explication, il y a une bache de protection, mais elle doit etre sous les planches...il y a toujours une bache maintenant...
Fantastic job. Interesting to see the roof replacement/repairs. Amazing the skill, pride, dedication, craftsmanship and deep pockets in the undertaking of this restoration. I like restoring old property. Love the character and history. New builds leave me cold.
Thank you very much!
What an incredible team of artists working to restore this beautiful chateau. It blows my mind how they ever managed in the 18th century to build and lift those heavy stones up to the roof. Can’t wait to see the completed roof. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
We often think the same! Thanks for following.
I cannot fathom how they got these things up their 250 years ago?!!!
Thank you for sharing. I love the fact that you continue to highlight the 'team' involved with bringing Chateau de Purnon back to its former glory - a footprint for not only you, but for their families as well. You tell the 'story' so well, which also reflects your editing skills - a pleasure to watch. Oh, forgot to ask if Mademoiselle Truffle has a Monsieur in her life?
Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Mademoiselle Truffe is yet to find her Monsieur but maybe her parents are too protective!
Fantastic workmanship
Indeed - our tradespeople here at Chateau de Purnon are remarkable!
Wow. What an incredible journey. Love it.
thank you so much
Enjoyed. This is amazing .
Merci et bravo pour ce sauvetage !
Wow what a glorious out come. Your trades men are true jewels for making this house shine.! Bravo for your work.
Thanks for your message and for acknowledging our incredible artisans. Without them, saving Chateau de Purnon would not be possible.
That was amazing. Thank you 🥰
pleasure!
Thank you for sharing this amazing restoration ♥️
Our pleasure!
It must be a privilege for these artisans to work on this chateau
Thank you for your message. We are in awe of the skills and expertise of our artisans. Saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible without them.

Merveilleux....Merci !
Merci beaucoup pour votre message!
Greetings from the U.S. Thank you for sharing this magnificent and awe inspiring work of restoration with us. I watched with tears welling in my eyes, as this immense task of rebirth of one of the most beautiful chateaus I've ever seen, unfold.
I wish we, who are watching, could thank every man involved in this massive undertaking, thank them all for their part in this marvel.
Thank you so much. It is wonderful to be able to share their incredible skills with you and we will make sure to let them know about your lovely message!
bonjour, voir aussi, images sur google ou RUclips, le château de Vault-le-vicomte, plus grand, un toit en ardoise impressionnant dans le même style....!!!
What an extraordinary milestone and the results are stunning. You both continue to astound me with your energy and yet your achievements are exactly what I expected. Felicitations pour tout jusqu'à présent. Peux pas attendre de voir ça! ❤
Thanks Dibs! We can't wait to have you here!
Thank you for sharing these videos with us. It is very interesting watching and hearing about the restoration from the workers. It is a gigantic project. It will cost a lot of both money and time. But she is definitely worth saving! 🙏She is so beautiful 🥰 She is very lucky to be saved by you two ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it x
On a trip to St. Etienne in the sixties, we were boarded in an old Chateau. The kitchen where we were served breakfast looked medieval. We got a bowl of coffee, a piece of bread, and a chunk of cheese. I don't know if the chateau exists anymore, it had countless rooms and was vacant and in poor condition, but it did have flush toilets.
Beautiful
Thank you
kudos to all the craftspeople & congratulation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
lucky I can even follow the interviews in french! Bonne chance👍
Hello from the USA. You are doing an impressive restoration job on that historic building.
thank you so much x
As an architect and historic preservationist, this is fascinating! Thanks-
thank you
Bravo!!!!!!
merci!
Thinking of Notre Dame, I hope the risk of fire is kept front of mind. Hello from Sydney where there is another challenging roof.
Brilliant TRUELY such a GRAND JEWEL deserving of all this restoration. 👏👏👏 .Stunning
Many thanks!
Magnificent ❤
thank you!
I amazing it is so sad that the many owners did not at least keep the roofs maintained that is the down fall for many chateau's and legacy properties thank god you came to rescue this national treasure .
The roof is going to be beautiful when it's done.
3:55 would be interesting to see a loot more of the wooden roof structure. I've not seen one like that, and its clearly something that could make for a stunning room if converted.
a voir le toit du chateau de " Vaux-le-vicomte " presque le meme en plus grand !!!!
Fantastic! Thank you for your dedication to this amazing building and for sharing the fabulous content. I so admire your approach. I am interested in the slate tiles. Are they installed directly on the wood roof sheathing?.
wow what a roof!!!
This is an incredible,. What a journey? With this being a historic monument and you are getting all this work done, will it be for business, pleasure, or museum? Whatever it will be used for it is stunning and the grounds are spectacular. Time for me to research as I want to know it's history.
Respect for these craftsman. ♥️🇿🇦
absolutely!
I have been looking forward to seeing further work on the chateau, unfortunately I cannot afford to be a Patreon, this means I am guessing, that I will see very little of the work as it progresses. Disappointing.
It is a major undertaking and I admire you for taking on such a massive task.
Hi Veronica - I am a little confused by your disappointment. We are putting a lot of work into sharing as much of the restoration as possible on all our social channels including a daily update on Instagram with additional exclusive content on Patreon to support the restoration project. If you follow on Instagram you will see a daily update 5 days a week on our stories: instagram.com/chateaudepurnon/
Can you please link to the video where owners are introduced and why your chateau was chosen for restoration funds.
I believe you talked about this but I cannot find it now. Thousands, if not millions will be required to restore this chateau and I would like to read or see how the process works and criteria for each project. I find this very interesting since most chateau owners are coping on their own, with their own funds raised to do their restorations.
French law dictates that all châteaux must meet certain criteria to be legally described as such. So they vary greatly in size and shape. Purnon might not be Chambord or Versailles, but it is quite large compared to all of the château vlogs I follow, with the possible exception of Anna and Edd's in Bordeaux. Other than the shell that Dan "the gardener" recently revealed as his new project, Purnon is in the most deteriorated condition too. Even if Pernon's owners had Stephanie Jarvis' RUclips followers, the process would probably still drag on for decades with all the bureaucratic red tape they must endure. Unfortunately, Purnon is unique or historic enough to be classified by the preservationists as requiring the strictest standards in its restoration. With such onerous restrictions the government should assist owners accordingly, especially since the owners open it up to the public once a year to share the country's rich legacy of magnificent private home ownership.
I'm willing to bet that if the original roofers were on the project today, they would already be finished. They could use some of our Texas roofers to turn up the heat. Yeeha!
If I've understood correctly, most chateau owners prefer their buildings to not be "listed" as an historical monument (or property) because that designation means they are subject to the approval of a committee for most aspects of renovation. On the flip side, it also means they can apply for grants from the French government. I understood that they are planning the renovation funds of this chateau to largely come from those grants.
No one is born knowing how to restore an 18th century château. The accredited architects (ABF) for the various regional directorates (DRAC) of the Ministry of Culture not only impose restrictions but also provide valuable advice and counsel.
When one is dealing with something as important as a nation's architectural patrimony, the usual and reflexive American libertarianism is misplaced.
Well thanks for the replies that don't answer my questions LOL😂 I would simply like the link to the video when owners were introduced and links to read about criteria to be designated a historic chateau to secure funding. Hoping the page owners can direct me. Thanks in advance. 😊
@@lisaakinlabi Hi Lisa - here is the link to the video you are referring to: ruclips.net/video/BbtQWSLYDqQ/видео.html
❤
I would just die with renovating one room, but a whole ass palace. No sir.
Have you ever considered a "sponsor a roof tile" program?
Is that possible under French law?
Lots of people would want to be able to say that they helped restore the 50k tiles, etc.
They could buy 1 or 10 or 100 or however many they want. It could be put in a trust for the specific purpose, Les Amis de Château Pernon could direct funds for the intended project.
After that's done you could create a sponsorship program for tufo stone or garden plants, etc.
Hi Ray - it is for this reason that we have created a Patreon account for those who would like to further support the restoration and have a deeper understanding of the project. One of our levels includes a gift of the château roof slate drink coasters so you actually own a piece of the old château roof. Here is the link if would interest you:

il y a eu un chantier naval en france pour reconstruire la frégate de Lafayette l' "Hermione "et les nombreux visiteurs pouvait acheter un clou de marine.... rapportait beaucoup d' argent ...
Magnifique Château avec tout son environnement. Vous montrez la minutie avec laquelle vous reconstruisez comme à l'origine. J'imagine que vous devez consulter les spécialistes en architecture et décoration de cette époque. Est-ce que le Ministère de la Culture en France vous aide financièrement, soit au domaine de l'expertise ou des matériaux ou des consultants, parce que j'imagine que les coûts d'une telle rénovation majeure doivent être imposants.
Je suis avec intérêt vos vidéos, je suis au québec et non, nous n'avons pas de tels châteaux dans notre coin de pays.
ps: J'ai eu les réponses à mes questions en visonnant "La restauration du château de Purnon, chef d’œuvre du XVIIIe siècle" Une restauration qui est financée à hauteur de 60% par le ministère de la Culture/DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Une vidéo a été realisée grâce à la Direction régionale des affaires culturelles de Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
J'ai des portes anciennes et je serai heureuse de vs les donner. Soualie
Can the good slate recovered from the chateau roof be used on the chapel?
why is the roof timber ( directly behind the slates) not covered in a modern roof ' felt ' / membrane
I think the modern isolating lining is underneath the timber, not the slates themselves.
Curious where all the stone corners missing this is why they were all replaced?
they had fallen down
@ Oh my goodness!
Has the other half of the roof been renovated or will that portion be accomplished later?
The roof restoration has been divided into two stages. The current works are the first stage and the second stage will commence as soon as the first stage is completed
Não é um castelo, é um palacete
Hello all!
Hi there!
How are they going to nail down the slate of the row below, now that it's covered by the one above??? Just curious.
they start at the lowest point and work up securing each tile with two copper nails
@ Well, precisely. Watch the video again at 18:28. The slate nailed in the demo prevents laying out the one just below. He should have done row 2, not 5.
As I watch your vids, I keep feeling like you're overlooking the skills of the scaffolders. Maybe you cover that in another vid. I've been following for a few weeks. My husband's in construction. None of these artisans can do their work without the scaffold. It's skillfully adapted to adapt to the work needing accessed. It's safety is paramount. One jobsite had foolishness before the shift my husband was supposed to work, and it collapsed. Just don't want the scaffolders to not be recognized for their crucial role.
Thanks for your message. At Chateau de Purnon, the scaffolding is erected and managed by the stonemasons. We honour the work of our incredible stonemasons in most videos that we post. We are sorry to read of the incident at your husband's workplace. Having a safe platform for all the artisans to work from is crucial for safety here at Chateau de Purnon. We're thrilled that you're following our journey.
Thanks for your reply. I may have missed that coverage of your stone masons.
