There are 45,000 castles in France, unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to renovate and maintain such a large number of properties. Thank you so much for coming to France to help us preserve this heritage.
Your filming is top notch and we love seeing straight forward commentary without drama. Very refreshing and informative! Cudos
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled that you're following our journey!
I know how much it costs to save a minor chateau. This is a national treasure chateau! Big difference! Many were big plantation houses, French style with farms that supported them.
Then there are chateaus like yours. Ultra rich people’s homes. I would never attempted such a project as I have close friends who divorced over way smaller Reno’s.
I hope through the government and grants you will get the money you need, over time, off course to save this “Real” chateau. I admire you being able to break it into smaller bites.
That in itself is a talent! I won’t live long enough I’m afraid to see it finished. But I wish you all the very best!
Thank you for your message. We are very grateful for the support we have received from the French Government so far. We'll try and preserve our relationship as well as the Chateau!!
At last. Less emotion, drama and pseudo show business than the postings from other chateau owners. So thanks for an intelligent, interesting and educational experience. A well worthwhile watch.
Yes, Chateau de Gudanes in the Pyrenees is a case in point. After five years still no restoration of the facade but plenty of gushing about the chabby chique crumbling interior. All by rich trendy people who think its all so elegant in its decaying state.
There are many personalities and reasons to do such a project I’m so thankful this family appeals to you.
Hopefully when the roof is fixed everything will go quicker
What a wonderfully unselfish attitude, not to rush things through for instant gratification but to take a purely historic approach. Such a worthwhile project, Well done
thank you
Just a suggestion but when you handle the fabrics you should wear cotton gloves.
This will keep the acids from your skin deteriorating the material.
I would have had my doubts about this place, but with the French historical architectural grants behind you, anything becomes possible! It is still a monumental task! You are well on your way! I hope you are able to save the 💒 chapel! The place is magnificent! Cheers! Thomas!
we hope so too - it is a true jewel of Purnon
video so very interesting but 'well on the way'? does not sound like it. a shame too much ruin in the bldgs on this property. Whoever voted to allow this as a historic site must have been bribed by all the contractors who will charge a fortune to line their pockets next 100 years.
@@ehayes7849 il y a beaucoup de ruines dans le monde. Et en France aussi , et qui ont ressuscitées, grâce au courage et à l' amour des belles choses. Tu ne t' imagine pas ce que de bons maçons, charpentiers et architectes du patrimoine , peuvent faire.
Les monuments historiques en France ne sont pas des voyous .
Peut-être crois tu que ces tricheries dans ton pays , existe partout ???
Pauvre homme... triste homme... homme?
With consistency, love & dedication it will get done. It will take a colossal amount of money to maintain it, but with the restoration at least the next holders/residents (we all residents in this thing called life...here for a "short" while & to the earth we return) will be getting it in great restored condition.
That wonderful garment can be restores and saved. Victoria and Albert museum is an expert in restoring and saving historic and important clothes - from grand 18th century dresses to David Bowie's stage clothes. They are amazing.
Would love to stay near the estate in glamping tent and support you guys financially through. Also guests in these glamping tents could perhaps somehow volunteer their time of their stay do something helpful in the premises (that does not perhaps require high levels of expertise, but requires hands/time)
I am guessing that the roof alone will be a million dollars. But that is the first, most important, most critical step to everything that follows. 🇦🇺🌹
The fact that the grande allée has remained, that alone is amazing, it has not been divided into farms etc. Incredible.
we are very fortunate that the view has been well protected - it is an incredible feature of the property
Followed by the basement. And the windows.
The old saying ..how you do one thing is how you do everything.. you guys give such a beautifully presented update … measured , calm , detailed, precise. You are going to do a magnificent job with this spectacular château! I look forward to joining you on the journey . 🇦🇺
thank you so much for your lovely comment
She is a beautiful old grande dame! But the work……….OMG! This is a lifetime project. I pray you continue to get state funding to save her. The countryside is breathtaking 💕. Keep her dry
Thank you so much!
The outbuildings could be renovated first and turned in guest cottages that people could rent for the weekend, thus generating some income for the renovation of the main house. The remnants of wallpaper and fabric could be also a source of revenue, their designs could be licensed and reproductions could be manufactured and sold under the license agreement to designers or directly to the public.
So, you need labour's. I know a few veterans who could be taken off the streets of the country near their. They only look for a roof over their head and some simple work. What a way to renovate a gardeners house and save a vet. Think about it. Good for both.
I can't wait to see what is next. Great work so far at conversation and restoration.
The garment ... emotional 🤍 ... as are the letters. Imagine a global effort to restore our collective past - these precious buildings and ruins. Transformation and healing comes of it. Such a different pathway to politics (I had to say it - Australian here - however moving to Europe too). Your story here, accentuated by your beautiful choice of music, is so touching. Yes your lives are the restoration - ongoing - and I would too. The idea of passing on is comforting - to family, community and France. A legacy. I hope to secure two properties in Slovenia that will need restoration. I watch you, and others, with much respect. Of course I look forward to visiting in the not too distant future. Purnon is so fortunate that you found her.
thank you so much for your lovely feedback
@ ... I just added to my comment. Jumped in on the video as couldn't wait till the end to comment on the garment. It is Purnon - fragile, beautiful, feminine, strong and everlasting. Thank you.
This was an excellent video!
thank you so much!
@ долой капитализм!!!🚩
As a fashion historian i was thrilled to see the fragile garment you found in the fabric room and evem though i didn´t see it first hand i can already tell how old it is :D
the shape of the sleeves, the waist form and the long down dropping shoulder line indicate that it was made between 1840 - 1860. worn over a bell shaped gown with a full skirt over several layers of starched petticoats if not a crinoline hoop skirt (but these came late in 1856 - 1869ish) ... the lady might have combined it with a spoon bonnet and a silk parasol.
if you google ladies fashion of the time I´m sure you will come across some fabulous fashion plates in which you can find similar garments. (here is a thought: take it to a tailor and ask to make a copy of the pattern - tailors can craft you a wearable replica for display or special occasions 🤩)
Yes! Late 1860s, I think. It looks like a bodice and over-skirt which would have had a coordinating underskirt worn over a crinoline and/or early bustle. I collect 1850s-1860s clothing, so this was especially exciting to see!
You have experience in documentary or film making….. your approach is the best I’ve seen in the chateau vlog milieux. Very enjoyable.
It would be fun to see you have that dress reproduced, but in your size so you can wear it for special occasions.
Loving the transparency. Very motivating. Plus great Oz accents are always a delight.
thank you so much
I love the chapel. Hard to believe the stables are attached to it.
Love the oak stair case
The more videos can earn some renovation cost albeit not much...
we are completely in love with the Chapel also - it really is one of the jewels of Purnon
Getting sponsors is usually how RUclipsrs can make a good amount of money, as well.
You always make such nice videos. Thank you for being so candid. Best to you both on your journey.
Thank you! You too!
You two are very well spoken hosts and seem like the perfect caretakers of such incredibly beautiful property.
Thanks for taking the time to make this vlog. It was very informative & interesting.
our pleasure - thank you for watching
You should have the suitable oak trees logged and rough cut for the future use. It will take a couple years for them to season (air dry) so they can be used in the restorations to come. Stone walls can be restored enough to keep them from failing. Many many holes in the dice that need fingers to stop the leaks I'm sure. I admire your commitment and support you.
bonjour depuis le XVII eme siecle, la france a créee des grandes forets de chenes pour les bateaux de guerre, et ces forets maintenant sont gérées par l' Office National des Forets, qui gere et exploite 33% du territoire francais. La france, deuxieme producteur mondial de chenes...donc tout est prévu d' avance...voir notre dame 2000 chenes abattus...
All the chateau owners do a brilliant job. This project is so exciting because of the professionalism engaged in its restoration. Each owner has a unique way of inviting us to love their dream. As it should be.
Thank you for following our journey... you're quite right, each chateau and their custodians has a different path. For us, at Chateau de Purnon, it's all about heritage preservation and restoration. We want to celebrate the incredible skills and expertise of the amazing team that we are fortunate to work with as we save this special place.
I agree. Each has their appropriate audience. Its all good.
What a huge undertaking. Bless you for saving this beautiful chateau. Wishing you much success 😍😘
It might be interesting to do a collab with Bernadette and see if she can tell you more about that dress or even make a replica that you can display??
that would be wonderful
Heating bill for a chateau this size : guesstimate around 40kUSD/y. Fuel in France is extremely expensive.
don't count other people's money, learn to count your own!
Just like to say that you both deliver a very clear and professional presentation.We find your videos very interesting😃Great to see some folk from down under taking on such a renovation😉
Outstanding presentation on the connection between Château de Purnon and FOUR wars of the 19th and 20th centuries! You covered four wars! I especially appreciated your digging into the First World War. Many people would have stopped their research with, "The front was hundreds of miles away, so no impact," but Tim dug deep and learned about the military service of the son of the Marquis. The story about the war in Indochina was fascinating and eloquently described, the German newspapers from the summer of 1940 were extremely cool, and the story about the court martial of the soldier from the Franco-Prussian War will delight visitors to the Château for decades to come! Thank you for this information.
I’m glad to see when people renovate these historically significant mansions.
Thank you so much for doing this Q&A, it is so interesting and this chateau certainly has the right owners taking care of her. Your work ethics and ideas are exciting and I wish you all the best getting things going. I think that getting the pool repaired was brilliant as one needs a place to relax and cool off in the summer months; this was the perfect spot and location for you...well done! I am looking forward to this amazing adventure and thank you for letting us join you. Thank you!
thank you so much Jane
I don't think I could take on a project that massive knowing I wouldn't see the completion.
Fantastic building and setting. The red tree is amazing. Heating, geothermal linked to oversized cast iron rads? Use the land or boreholes. Wood pellet boilers. Supplemented by wood burning stoves. Could see the farmhouse fully restored. Lime plastered rustic. Tomettes re-laid. Love old buildings. Great that you are preserving history.
105 rooms! There is going to be a very long and interesting journey to restore that beautiful chateau.
This heritage site seems to be luckily in the hands of two people that will lovingly restore its infrastructure and particulars back to its original beauty while relishing the adventure and the journey.
Thanks again for sharing your lives at Purnon, love all the history and the passion you both have to restore this amazing building look fwd to see more of you both and M. Truffe so cute and gentle dog❤❤
Our pleasure!
A beautiful Chateau. She is blessed to have owners who are working so hard to restore and save her. Good luck with all the works. Enjoy the process.
If you're going to close off that beautiful room for months on end I would recommend a dehumidifier running up there.
The minute I saw the staging and roofwork, I was hooked. This will be a first class restoration, not _lipstick on a pig._ Can't wait to see more! The _joinery_ up in the attic is most interesting. Love that sort of thing.
So beautiful is your chateau. You must frame some of those very special letters, they would look wonderful. Wishing you so much luck with the renovations!!
Having done a few builds in Australia and with Habitat for Humanity in Europe and Honduras and some renovations, it seems a staggeringly mammoth, no gargantuan task you have set yourselves. But what an admirable goal and fabulous lifetime achievement. The sympathy and tenderness you are conducting this project with is quite extraordinary. The Frogs will love you for it too! Bravo!
We hope you enjoy the videos of our adventure so far!
Even with all the work to do the Chateau de Purnon takes my breath away. What it was, in my mind, and what will be, is overwhelmingly stunning and doesn’t seem real but a fantasy. I know it and all the exhausting work is very real to you both! Thank you for including us in the journey ❤. I live in the US and would love to see it someday.
Thank you for your comment and your interest in our journey. We are thrilled to share our adventure with people from around the world. If you travel to France from time to time, we are are always open for the weekend of Les Journees du patrimoine (Heritage Open Days) in September. This is a wonderful time to visit. We open as much of the chateau as possible, the weather is normally good, the grounds are carefully prepared and there are many activities and displays by our craftsmen, local bakers etc.
If you say that it takes roughly 3 weeks to finish each room, regardless of size, it will take a little over 6 years to finish each room..
When we asked what the plan was. I don't think we meant a plan like you described. It was more about what are the priorities. Obviously, the roof first. Then what? Will you want to do more interior rooms? More foundational work like electrical and plumbing like you mentioned. Or saving the stables and chapel?
I think due to the building's heritage status, it's hard to have an organised plan. Each step requires research, waiting for an answer from the government, etc. Seems like many things will be happening simultaneously.
@M. M. I felt they had made that clear. Maybe i haven't been clear. I meant a list of what ideally THEY want to prioritise. They are in charge of starting the investigative work after all. The timeline after that of course cannot be known. But surely they know as an overview what their priorities are and where they will put their budget first?
We are in the process of completing an internal diagnositc and floor plan so we have a clear idea of what will be the use of each room. Once this is completed we can start working on the plumbing & electricity - especially on the ground and first floors.
@Château de Purnon thanks for sharing! Now all the burning questions have been answered :)
Hope to visit if you plan on having paid guests. It would be an honor and a way we could contribute.
So wonderfuk hat you are working on this. Old buildings need to be preserved !
As someone transcribing Victorian era correspondence I hope you get a professional in to do all those letters and have them at least available to scholars. Anything that survives from long ago needs proper preservation, transcribing and archiving. Best of luck.
Yes and allocate at least EU200k for that purpose alone. Nothing comes cheap in France...
Oh man anything else, sir? 🤣
i really hope that gardener's cottage is not protected. That would have been the first thing I renovated. 2nd team roofers got the Chai done and they moved on to another project yep yep....I hope its the cottage
This is a lifetime commitment. The work you have done so far is wonderful. I know you all will do a fantastic job and do it justice. Huge undertaking ❤ As far as how long and how much it will cost to finish..you can pretty well bet it will cost 3 times as much and take twice as long as you may predict. Thats been my experience lol.
The exterior looks more like the end of the 17th century rather then the 18th century. The high arch of the roof and the stone work and design of the windows all look more like 17th century. I am sure you know more than I do and it would nice to understand why the house was built this way at the end of the 18th century. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful work and dedication to this project. The world needs more people like you. Thank you.
Your videos are so well done and professional!
Thank you for this updated summary!
This is such an interesting channel. Thank you for the history.
The letters and journals could be digitized by the national library of France, they could also be made into a collection or collections and published.
I just found your channel and enjoyed the video immensely. Excellent narratives, videography and music. I will be going back to see all the videos I've missed. Will like and subscribe and praying for a huge success in your restoration. Blessings from Timmy in Texas, USA
Any improvements you can make in your life there will not stop. It wants to come back to life and I for one do believe it will. Bring it all back.
we'll do everything we can!
Future generations will thank you for keeping this beautiful historical building alive.
It will be enjoyed by people overseas and especially the French.
Commendations for your endeavours and bravery.
thank you so much Colin
It appears that most of the historic buildings are being restored by people who are not French, which is a little bizarre but might be because they realise that their time has passed and they are just money pits to both restore and run in the long term. It is also peculiar that so much "State" money can be spent on an historical property for two people to inhabit, I realise that examples of these should remain but maybe the ones in better condition, however as this is being done in keeping with its original intent it will be a worthwhile addition and the present owners seem pleased they can drive it down that route, and it is stressful and hard work. On other RUclips channels they have elected to pay for the repairs themselves so as not to have to follow the strict codes if you have a grant, whilst some compromises have been taken, generally the houses have been made fit to face a better future in the long term, but not with all its original features restored. In conclusion I would have knocked it down and built a present day "village" in a traditional "rural" style around the area of the chateau and it's outbuildings, say about 100 houses which could house 200 people and charged a monthly cost for upkeep of the surrounding land which would remain as land, for no cost to the tax payer, but I applaud the endeavour of the two people who are carrying out the restoration rather than leave it fall into disrepair further which is the greatest tradegy, and I suppose I am a bit of a Philistine and I'm not French!??
I loved this video! Thank you, wonderful!
Great, professional, informative!
Love your presence at this Chateau! The Chateau is blessed by you.
So delighted you aim for Louis XVI style throughout the whole chateau (minus one salon). This happens to be my absolute favourite style❤❤❤
merci merci merci .on a beaucoup de chance en france d avoir des personnes comme vous qui aident à sauver le patrimoine .on devrait vous décorer
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing ❤
You two are incredible, such passion and dedication. I love your narrative, great channel, so informative.
Thank you . She is just fantastic
Fantastic. Thank you for preserving this jewel of the past.
You two certainly have what it takes to oversee this huge restoration. I live on the Gold Coast & love watching a few chateau channels. Wonderful & keep going Tim & Flick & Truffles.
Thanks for the explanations and good documentation.
What a treasure trove you have! I love the stories you are sharing.
Water dogs are possibly my fav breed.
I love the updates. This is one of my very favourite chateaus, I do wish we could see you and the grand lady on a more regular basis. How I adore that the chapel and horse stables in the same building. So intriguing
I love your chateau and the grounds are so beautiful.
So beautiful. Just subscribed to your channel. I've watch a few of these Chateau utube channels. The thing that just breaks my heart 💔 is when new buyers of Chateaux is they remodel it ulta modern😥💔. Instead of restoration its gut wrenching 💔 to see other utube Chateau buyers do that. To each is own , I get that but it's like more of destruction of Chateau rather than restoration. So glad you've restoring it to its original beauty 💕 ❤️ 😍 . Even period reproductions a fakey high boy😘 is better than some steel and pink glass or ulta modern bookshelves😥🤮
I couldn't help but think how much work is ahead of you: it does seem insurmountable. Your restoration so far is very beautiful.
its so inspiring to see you with real life meaning and goals ! - congrats. Hello from Switzerland
Enjoyed. I am looking forward to spring so I can be outside .
Well done 👏🏻❤
Hello from Nashville, Tennessee! Pernon has beautiful design to her layout. The shape of your chateau is beautifully elegant! What a show place you will have someday. I commend your work to save this building. It’s so wonderful and I wish I could help. Best of luck to you and I can’t wait to see more of your lovely home! Happy Holidays!
Awesome story - love the passion. Given the location and time period - seems like the music of Chopin is a must.
A fascinating collection of You Tube vids...history is fascinating. Thank you for all the research.
A wonderful !interesting and informative vlog. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful chateau and its history with us. 🇦🇺
I admire your perseverance and wish you continued success in the restoration of your lovely Chateau de Purnon. It is truly breathtaking even in its present state. Really enjoying your channel and looking forward to piggy backing along on this journey…watching from PA, USA.
Wow, what a beautiful Chateau, also a great explanational progress and history finds......good luck to you both in the future.. ❤
quel plaisir de regarder le reportage sur TF1!!! vous méritez tellement que l'on admire votre travail incroyable
This will be a labor of love for the rest of your lives! She's so fortunate to have you both as her caretakers! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to saving her! ❤
Beautiful place and I think you’ve got a very big and realistic viewpoint on the property and what’s ahead of you. I wish you the very best of luck
Those letters ! An extraordinary hidden treasure trove, love this journey you’re on 🇦🇺
Australians are great swimmers. They invented the Australian crawl, (aka the crawlstroke or freestyle), which we see Tim demonstrating in the pool. Both Tim and Felicity had excellent racing starts.
A Beautiful place, your heroes saving it. very exciting to see the changes
I think they will get a legion d'honneur for this crazy job.
Je suis souvent passé à vélo le long du château, en admirant le site bien sûr ! Bonne continuation dans votre projet .....
Merci beaucoup
Love these two Aussies and their passion and knowledge and great heart for this wonderful place❤ and best of all your gorgeous doggy! My last beloved dog Sweetheart was same breed and the most loving companion and she loved water! All the best with your future and Thankyou for this wonderful video too, cheers from another Aussie in Gippsland Victoria 😘🐾
Truly a Noble Endeavor. Bravo. Magnifique. Merci!
What an amazing opportunity to retain some vitally important history - we are just caretakers but hopefully leave these historic gems in a better state than we find them. Keep it up!
Beautiful places. Thank you for saving this magical places. God luck xxx🎉
What a wonderful chateau! It reminds me of Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, although not to the same scale, de Purnon is still very impressive and I love the allee and the symmetry. I have subscribed and will start from the beginning episodes tomorrow.
There's a reason these places were abandoned.
Fascinating story!
Thank you for answering some questions. Very interesting.
pleasure
I love how you both have your definite plans...so essential to keeping your sanity with thousands of jobs to do you know your priorities. Brilliant!
