Thanks for your message and for acknowledging the skills and dedication of our amazing artisans. Saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible without them.

Yep, plenty of memories of working to hold back Mother Nature.
First congratulations on your success, the château work and also 2500 views in less than 45 minutes. I am surprised at myself at how deeply emotionally invested I am in all of your work. The old lady is not just a building and not just a historically significant location, but an emotional investment for all of us. The work that you and the French government are doing with this landmark is phenomenal and the work that the two of you are doing with the documentation videos is some of the most pleasant and engaging content that I’ve seen on RUclips for a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I’m sending good vibes for all of the good vibes you’re sending us.

Wonderful! The team at Farrow & Ball has created something special with the motifs uncovered at the Chateau.
I had a similar experience. Walked into the store to pick up some paint . As I walked in what was facing me were the Pernon wallpapers. In a voice you could hear throughout the store, I announced Chateau de Pernon!! Just a bit embarrassed here. 😳
I have tears in my eyes each time I watch your videos. It’s just wonderful seeing this exquisite Chateau being brought back to life in such a caring and thoughtful way. It’s uplifting to know that there are still people such as your Artisans working on the project who have decided to go into this line of work and carry on the traditions. I just am in awe of their skill and great respect for them. I have your beautiful book on my coffee table and it’s just a joy to look at and read!! Thank you for making this your life project, what a wonderful benefit to the preservation of history and to just providing and protecting beauty for the present. ❤

people, like yourselves, restoring these old homes/buildings has brought back all these old building skills that were almost lost...one of my brothers is/was a stonemason, but when he learnt his trade there were no stonemasonry courses happening, thus he had to do a brickies trade course..after many years it was realised that they needed to bring these old trades back and so he became a stonemasonry teacher himself...he is now retired but the courses are still being run...old cities are now trying to keep the old buildings, where they can, and to restore them they need tradesmen with the right knowledge to do this work..I'm an Aussie, and you guys sound like you might be Aussies too..well done on the work so far..
Your attention to detail is perfect. You must be very proud of what has been achieved so far. Wonderful to be able to watch your story unfold. I am one proud Aussie who is so proud of you two lovely people. Congratulations on all your research & care.

It’s so special to see every little bit of progress accumulate over time and reveal just how much has truly been done. It’s very inspiring in light of my own life goals. And there really is nothing quite like the weather-proofing pieces of progress. Roof and windows. Perhaps the MOST satisfying for me to see in a way (I realize) because of how much they protect the place. Definitely not a ground-breaking revelation or anything. Of course they’re what we all want to see taken care of. But far more satisfying than I even thought. Just. Wow. Not kidding when calling the grand reveal of the central section grand. Now it resembles a delicious, decadent wedding cake with fruit on top all the more.

Your both certainty not going to know yourselves, once there is absolutely no scaffolding around your home, and although she is an absolute work of art she is your home. I am.most greatful that you share your home with us all. As you know we certainly dont have anything quite as grand in Australia and its a pleasure watching your channel and learning so much historical information about the past, including seeing the artisans at work in the traditional ways.

What a happy grin I had on my face as the camera showed us the first bit of scaffolding removed and Francis was backdropped by the beautiful roofs and almost seemed to know how good he looked! It definitely is a magic moment and there have been many! I'm so impressed by the two of you, with so much going on, that you can calmly produce these videos and take us along. Right you are about a lot of us "chomping at the bit" to get the luxurious interiors going! .... My great-grandmother was hard to wake also!

The videos and music are definitely in sync and compliment each other. I found your posts about the Chateau the same day my wife asked me to paint one of our bedrooms.

Thanks for your videos and the motivation they provide to people who will never get the chance to do what you two have done!!👍👍

Your efforts to save your beautiful chateau is outstanding. The building is magnificent and you have rescued her just in time. I commend you on engaging your architect and setting him to work of discovery and then to begin the planning of restoration. It's important to take the early steps which make the complicated planning much easier and it avoids rushing in and destroying something precious. Too often these days there is no initial planning and no one seems interested in engaging an architect - the profession which ensures a fantastic design outcome. I commend you on your gigantic effort and thank you for sharing the journey.

Perhaps the MOST satisfying for me to see in a way (I realize) because of how much they protect the place. Definitely not a ground-breaking revelation or anything. Of course they’re what we all want to see taken care of. But far more satisfying than I even thought.
Just. Wow. Not kidding when calling the grand reveal of the central section grand. Now it resembles a delicious, decadent wedding cake with fruit on top all the more.
Thanks for your message. You're quite right - the most basic things are the building blocks of a wonderful restoration. We're thrilled that you're taking such joy from each milestone.
How satisfying to see another portion of the restored chateau. It is absolutely stunning. Congratulations!
Thank you! She is sublime as she slowly reveals herself.

Outstanding work! Chateau de Purnon never was the saying "How do you eat an elephant?....One mouthful at a time!" more apt!? So glad I found your channel and hope many more do, because it's incredible to watch your progress xx
Thanks for your message! Sometimes it feels like we're trying to digest the entire herd here! Welcome to our adventure.
What a happy grin I had on my face as the camera showed us the first bit of scaffolding removed and Francis was backdropped by the beautiful roofs and almost seemed to know how good he looked! It definitely is a magic moment and there have been many! I'm so impressed by the two of you, with so much going on, that you can calmly produce these videos and take us along. Right you are about a lot of us "chomping at the bit" to get the luxurious interiors going! .... My great-grandmother was hard to wake also!
Thanks for your message. It brings us great joy to know that people from across the world are sharing in our adventure. We look forward to sharing more of the restoration of Chateau de Purnon's interiors.

We're thrilled you're following our journey from across the oceans.
What a beauty! Saved thanks to you, you are brilliant, you and those that work there 🤩
Thank you!
Who would ever have thought the beauty of a roof would take one's breath away?
You're quite right - it's a work of art.
The videos and music are definitely in sync and compliment each other. I found your posts about the Chateau the same day my wife asked me to paint one of our bedrooms. I had a fit because I absolutely loathe painting, but after watching a few of your videos I calmed down and realized what a real task was. Thanks for your videos and the motivation they provide to people who will never get the chance to do what you two have done!!👍👍
Thanks for your message... good luck with the painting!!
Thank you for the reply! You and your team are doing a marvelous job. It’s great watching this historic gem coming back to life.
I’ll bet you sleep well after a hard days work! Good luck!!!
It looks incredible. So beautiful 😊👍🏻
We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing our progress so far.
The roof is more than half done! The transformation has been amazing! Now that beautiful central part is finished too!

U must be so fn HAPPY lol 😂 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 The ghosts of purnon must be so excited to see her restored how they built it and remember it... any good ghost stories from u 2 yet?( whole other channel lol) 😮
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled you enjoyed this milestone. No ghosts but plenty of good vibes... maybe that's what spirits do! Good luck and best wishes for your search. We hope you find exactly what you're looking for.
Your efforts to save your beautiful chateau is outstanding. The building is magnificent and you have rescued her just in time. I commend you on engaging your architect and setting him to work of discovery and then to begin the planning of restoration. It's important to take the early steps which make the complicated planning much easier and it avoids rushing in and destroying something precious. Too often these days there is no initial planning and no one seems interested in engaging an architect - the profession which ensures a fantastic design outcome. I commend you on your gigantic effort and thank you for sharing the journey.
Thank you for your message and for acknowledging the incredible work of our architect and his team. You're spot on - planning, meticulous research and preparation is at the heart of a wonderful final result. Although there is plenty of work still ahead of us it's inspiring to know that people around the world are taking joy in our adventure.
I’m in tears watching what a beautiful job that is being done here. What an exquisite Chateau. I’m always enchanted by these old places.
Great restoration!
Thank you - we're thrilled that this episode brought you such joy.
How absolutely wonderful. The roof, the roof is everything. And you can safely move on with interior structures and renovation, at least in part of the château.
Thanks Kate - yes, exactly. It is much easier to progress in the interior with a waterproof roof!
