Sean these travel videos are so professionally made. Good music, narration and video tour. What an amazing fortress with thousand maybe millions of stones. How many stone masons would it have taken to build such a massive fortress. The level of upkeep and repointing the stone through the centuries must have been extensive. It was a brutal and difficult time to be alive 1000 years ago, but wow, they knew how to build. The views of the village are wonderful. Thank you for taking us to this memorable medieval castle.
Hi Sean, this fortress is amazing. It is hard to visualize the work that went into constructing this fortress. With no modern machinery or tools. The man hours, the back breaking work that it took. Thanks for bringing us along, for taking us back in time. Love from N.Y.
I can't be alone in wondering what these sorts of places would look like if they were to have all of the walls and rooves etc reinstated. There's always bits in ruins or only the foundational footprint of a section of a historic property that leads me to whimsical wondering. Caernarfon Castle in Caernarfon, Nth Wales is a prime example that springs to mind.
I just kept saying "Wow!" with every turn of the camera. So many things to see! Perfect music choice! Those views from the top were amazing. Imagining the fortress teaming with activity over the hundreds of years. Thousands of feet walked those steps and halls. (Seeing the very clean fireplaces, knowing your struggles, I am wondering how the museum did it? 🤔 ) Thank you, again!
Thankyou Sean, much better filming, you've gone slower & showing more detail, just adding info occasionally. Well Done, great improved.. 🎖What a location!
Sean, what a great place to visit. I'm in awe! Thank you for taking the time to visit and post. I will never be able to visit in person but I feel like I am right by your side taking in all the sights. God bless you
What an amazing chateau, Sean. It sort of has a feel of Scotland, more so than France. I bet you would have enjoyed being part of the original construction crew! Can't imagine how much time was necessary to fashion the stones for the exterior...without the benefit of an electric power saw.
Love the trips you take us to chateaux, castles, and beautiful places. Mr. Not the Biggest Fortress” know-it-all should just enjoy and shut up. Am sure he was the kid in class no one could stand 😂
Were you in the kitchen yet? Or the grande hall where everyone are? Is that coming up next? Were any of the water wheels left for grinding grain etc? On the stream through the fortress?
As I look at this, it occurs me that should society collapse, it probably wouldn't take long before people gravitated to returning to using the castle to its original purposes: living, working, and defensive functions.
Wow, many of the walls at the beginning of the video could stand a good pointing, Sean. And some need rebuilding. Aren't you glad you didn't have to do it! ?
Le château de Fougères, plus grande forteresse médiévale d’Europe, est un lieu incontournable du pays de Fougères (Ille-et-Vilaine). Il est d’ailleurs mis en valeur dans Les Guides Vert de « Sites & Cités remarquables de France » produits par Michelin. Et il attire de plus en plus de monde. Je suis désolée que vous ne soyez pas mieux informée.
@@SeansUniverse-te5vdVous avez raison le château de Fougères est la plus grande forteresse d'Europe. Il suffit de le lire sur le site de Tourisme d'Ille et Villaine.
if you could read french, you could literally go to the tourism page for the region where the fortress is situated and it says it right there. People like you fascinate men Jeanna. The unwarranted confidence is astounding.
@@jasminec_ Je comprend Francais, mais ce n'est pas le sujet. Fougerres is 5 acres. Carcassonne is 27 acres. My point is that Fougerres is not the largest fortress in Europe but it is the largest MEDIEVAL fortress. Be polite.
Wow another great adventure! I wonder how long it took to build it the walls are so thick. I surely wouldn't want to be a servant there because those stairs would kill me and they did it while carrying stuff. Awesome! :) :)
What a delightful tour. IMHO, there was the perfect balance of narration, silence and music.

Imagine the number of stones that went into the construction of that place... Thank you Sean !!

Hard to believe it is still intact after 1000 years. The stories of lifetimes!😊
Love your choice of music
Very interesting. What fun to walk about and explore.
I'm invalide now, so I can't walk stairs anymore, so thank you for this tour Sean!💋
Same for me. I wish I could still explore these places.
Visited it a few times now amazing place. With the garden walk with the river is lovely. Thankyou Sean
It always boggles my mind how thick the walls in these places are. Thanks Sean!

Definitely

Mr. Not the Biggest Fortress” know-it-all should just enjoy and shut up. Am sure he was the kid in class no one could stand 😂
WOW 😮
Yep what to make of 'found' architecture of industrail stuctures back in 724 AD.
Very cool !
That red room sounded like torment😳
Be safe and careful.😊👍🙏
Wow
Were you in the kitchen yet? Or the grande hall where everyone are? Is that coming up next? Were any of the water wheels left for grinding grain etc? On the stream through the fortress?

My wife would like to know what the music was that you used near the video end? Adiyund 19:30
Not sure

Sean must have been a guide in a previous life 5 *
🤣
Wow, many of the walls at the beginning of the video could stand a good pointing, Sean. And some need rebuilding. Aren't you glad you didn't have to do it! ?
🤣
❤❤🥰
Not Europe's largest fortress...doesn't even make the Top 10. The largest medieval fortress in Europe in this state of preservation, yes.
Thank you so much for the fact checking service you provided
