Inside Timothy Corrigan’s Château du Grand-Lucé | Architectural Digest
Sweet this gives me some ideas for my spare French chateau!
Literal Vampire Potbellied Goblin You still can't get a reservation though
Yes omg
Literal Vampire Potbellied Goblin so how it turned out ? Lol
(french laugh) oui oui oui houh houh houh
Wow daddy
I'm so glad this guy decided to keep the old-fashioned style, it pays homage to French architecture and keeps the house the way it was supposed to be. Much respect
Tony Crony
he didn’t. it’s been on the market for over two years now ($11.4m).
James Franko mea culpa.
That's not the french old fashion style, as a french it's obvious to me that this is an american reinterpretation of french classic style and it bothers me to be honest ...
S D how is it different?
@@rudaguimaraes9 he s got a swimming pool!!?!
Obviously he has money but he really has taste too - it's eye popping but it is somewhere I'd love to live (which isn't always the case with these ultra high net worth type properties).
and its also not common among poor/middle class population to have good taste on things, i bet on average, rich people have a much better taste than poor people.
@@serolatei9262 Taste is a purely subjective concept which evolves from education and wider life experiences as well as financial status. Of course, if your horizons are limited by financial struggle then aesthetic taste is a luxury - but God bless the low paid; 2020 has shown us just how much society needs their work.
@Fabienne Gef I couldn't agree more
@Google User I completely agree with your comment about money but taste is subjective - there is no objective measure of taste because everyone sees the world through the filter of their own experience.
My grandmother once said, "Some people have all their taste in their mouth"...money does not guarantee good taste.
Holy shit...I'm just trying to imagine the volume of cash he dumped into this project & then the cost involved living there. That's one successful interior designer!
Das Er unglaublich was drauf hat, sieht man ja an jedem der Schlafzimmer und an der Tafel und an den tollen Wohnräumen.
you're an idiot
I know I was wondering the same thing.
Possibly, investors. And now it's running as a hotel
He was a pretty big advertising executive and property developer before he was an interior designer. He is also descended from a few illustrious/aristocratic families.
So happy this château ended in the hands of this man with impeccable taste. What he envisioned is absolutely stunning! The only downside is turning the pond into a pool... that was a mistake.
I agree! The only downside is the pool. Maybe some stone and maybe a stone railing could be put around the pool to make it look more appropriate to the setting.
This is renovated into a pretty, American mansion, not a French chateau. To see the difference, we should look at the design principles for the two cultures and living habitats.
I agree too and I'm French...
Jesus is our lord and savior
Me too i would have put a fountain in that very same pond!
Wow this place is insane! Beautiful, and i love how he lights up when he talks about it. His love for the property really shines through.
That dining room is a real life Wes Anderson dream
if i was a rich celebrity, i would definitely restore an old chateau! it’s a dream and totally a total achievement for my obsession for anything victorian-era. and as a casual writer of stories, living in one would definitely inspire tons! loved this so much.
Would love to see something of this quality in person some day
its for sale $$$
No soul in this château when true châtelains live in them you get thé Real sensation!!! They dévote their lives to thé upkeep and so do their children of cause they have thé knowledge and thé class required for this life..
go to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville!!
This is old meets new done correctly.
I am not normally into fancy, but that butterfly room looked so elegant and fun at the same time. He's done a very tasteful design.
Have watched this time and again. It’s the best restoration/redesign of a chateau on all of RUclips
It doesnt get any better than this
So True
This is absolutely the most beautiful home I have seen on AD. Seriously, breathtaking... what a sight to behold.
I love his design philosophy: beauty and comfort 👍🏻
i want to stay there just to feel like marie antoinette
She was killed
And eat cake...
Be a favorite not a wife !
She was married to a stranger when she was only 14 years old and had to leave her whole family and anyone she knew behind
Me too 👌👌👌
Loved his comments on making spaces actually comfortable and livable.
What a beautiful property, I'm so glad that the designer restored it to its former glory.
He's done an excellent job renovating this chateau - still grand but very livable.
Thank you for restoring this gem
Omg I live just half an hour from this chateau ! I've never seen over the massive walls !!!
I love his colors & his styling is so comfortable. He's very talented.
Absolutely stunning. Timothy is the perfect owner of that chateau and his design work there is magnificent.
you know its expensive when he only provides a slideshow
2:48 - that bathroom is an absolute dream.
How’s does someone accumulate that much wealth to own and live in a place like this?!?!
Ya, he makes it sound like it was just another whim.
Like oh yeah, just let me pick out a new shirt for the weekend.
I looked it up the place is 11 mil
@@ellabrennan8536 now? Or at time of purchase pre-renovation?
You can buy many many "châteaux" in France much cheaper than any villa on the Riviera or California.. But you have to restore every year each and every room in this "château"...
By scraping off the tax free profit excess of people who made their money by exploiting untold millions.
I aspire to own a home like this one day. 🤞🏻
Ser Ray marry a rich guy
Need to be a billionaire lol
do it
Pod Messy
You don't need to be a billionaire. My friends bought a chateaux in France bigger than this for less than 1 million pounds (uk). What takes money is the electricity and refurbishment. But you can always do most of it yourself and then get in plumbers and electricians. It's ok to have dreams. Don't put people down for that
Every inch of this chateau is exquisite !
It's gorgeous and I'd love to be an occasional guest! Mr. Corrigan's a wizard of taste and eternal style. Fashions change, and derelict chateaux will rot. After wars and ruins, this place sings and sparkles.
I have such respect for Timothy. He did such a wonderful job creating a magnificent liveable home. France is my favourite place to be, so this home is dreamy to me.
Timothy your sense of style, color, and comfort truly brought out the beauty of this chateau. Bravo for your vision ♥️🥂👏
What a talent and passion.
This is absolutely incredibly well designed!!!
Perfect chateau,perfect designer,what a pleasure.
Why did i think this was timothee camalete 😔
Helen that’s exactly why I clicked 😂
Same 😂

The grounds alone are spectacular. Beautiful
Loved everything about it except the pond that was turned into a heated swimming pool. I probably would have made that into a grand fountain. If you really want a swimming pool in a place as grand as this then an indoor swimming pool might be an option (not sure if its possible though since its a national landmark).
I agree, I thought it was pretty annoyingly American of him to disregard the French wishes and make it a swimming pool anyways
viceb7 - then the french should have bought the chateaux and made it the way they wanted it. The guy clearly poured millions into this project supplying jobs and renovating it with class. You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill and it's annoying.
Nein, gerade das es ein Schwimmbad hat macht es ja so besonders.
hum there are laws in France you know that aim to prevent exactly that: some rich American buying a castle that's part of French history and transforming it completely. If you don't want to repect the law, then don't buy a castle in France. It's that simple. You are the one who's annoying
If someone from any country buys a national landmark it is because the locals cann't afford to do it, so he should be allowed to do whatever he likes because he is saving that national landmark. Better than left it fall down in ruins. But I'm sure many locals would sure prefer the last.
What a gorgeous restoration, and yes, successful because it's beautiful AND comfortable. Mr. Corrigan also gives a very well-spoken presentation with a refreshing utter lack of up-talk. Thank you!
That combination of green and purple from the bedroom always looks so nice.
I just love love loved the the place knowing about Timothy many years no one can beat his work as interior designer till date.
Stunning result, but can't imagine the effort to pull this off. Amazing.
So gorgeous!! I can't get over it!
He is truly amazing and gifted!
First time in ages I saw what a Designer did and I am totally impressed. Wonderful job. This man has a rare talent! 👏👍
This was the best thing i've ever seen YOUR HOME IS BEAUTIFUL
Wow. Dream home!
stunning! beautifully done. although I have to agree about that swimming. seems extremely out of place, would have been better kept as a reflecting pond
Every room is beautiful. Omg. I loveeee that style. Everytime someone would come to my house I would answer the door and say. Welcome to Downton
You’re living what most people could only dream of your home is beautiful it’s takes my breath away enjoy it every single day many blessings thank you for sharing it
Was here for a wonderful wedding and it truly is magnificent and comfortable. Grand to say the least. Loved it plus the staff was amazing also. What a wonderful place for a wedding.
Having money is one thing, having style is quite another. Clearly Mr. Corrigan has them both. What an amazing job he's done restoring such a gorgeous national treasure.
Stunning
Some of the rooms are so beautiful! But I'm glad the pink paint peeled off. I hope the room looked better after they redecorated it.
Magnifique
Preserving such a beauty. It is a palace that is warm and cozy.
Love it all! So beautifully restored and authentic 😍
He has great taste. Wonderful restoration!
Merveilleuse rénovation ! Merci de faire revivre avec tant de talent notre patrimoine.
He pays such attention to detail!
He took a really good care of this beautiful house. Well done!
Stunning. Just stunning.
Beautifully decorated
Love, love, love the design!
Beautiful, simply beautiful!
It’s all amazing! Thanks man!
This is amazing!!
I can’t stop to think about the Reno costs, I guess probably reached the price of the house.
I’m so glad that he kept the same charm and flair from the past and didn’t transformed the chateau in a designer style which many others does.
Espectacular!!!! Belleza increíble! Gran y maravilloso trabajo!!
This is so beautiful . Inside and out
I love it. It looks amazing!!
Wowie! Gorgeous home.
Beautiful home and decorated .
It's sooo lovely and sooo comfortable, that he up sold it and bought another one
oh wow everything looks stunning...i would to see what he does with the rest of the rooms, kitchen, etc.he has such great taste...thanks for sharing
Breathtaking
Stunning!💖💞
Humongous yet homey. Beautiful work.
How could you NOT like this? A fabulous creative designer who does not want to build a townhouse or buy land and mass out a huge development of houses that all look the same !! He is so appreciative of old house and restoring homes that were let go. He is saving our economy by being able to afford and redo homes. Just like the teenagers now a days who do not appreciate antiques and then the antique market can be hurting now a days
Stunning!
I understand the French government wants to preserve it's architectural history however if one buys and lives in these relics it should feel like a home and not a museum. Unless the owner chooses to do so comprised of all things periord. I think a swimming pool can be done but made like a darker reflecting pond as one would find at a stately home with golden proportions. I absolutely have great respect for such traditional architecture however if I were to live in such a stately domicile I would want the house and it's grounds to be useable from it's original intent to the most modern without comprising its classical beauty. Current technology can allow us to have both. The interiors are the most beautiful I have ever seen in a French chateau and it's images always convince me of what my ideal country house should be; a perfect balance of old world grandeur, modern comfort and warmth. Timothy did a spectacular job.
Timothy, you are just wonderful!
I would like to just see the colors feel the fabrics and just experience the design. Beautiful
The Grounds are BEAUTIFUL...
Beautifully designed and restored Timothy Corrigan.
Wow. Very easy in the eyes. I often these homes have such gaudy interiors. Frightening. This was beautiful.
I just loved it! ❤️️ So gorgeous! I want one!!!
Fancy and super comfortable is the key!
wow, this is stunning!
Just amazing!
Wealth and exquisite taste. What a marvelous combination!!!
This vid never gets old
This is stunning. And...putting my feet up...at this place? I couldn't!
STUNNING!!! 💖💖💖
Omg Timothy you are my inspiration. This is beautiful 🏰
This is just so relatable
What a stunning home!
gorgeously beautiful place.
So beautiful !!
Beautiful! 🙌🏽💛✨
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing sir!
