At 35, Antoni Calmon, doctor and farmer's son, decides to buy at auction - in April 2021 - the Château de Dampierre, located in Aube, 2 hours road from Paris, with the aim of restoring it over several years.
Discover the history and interior of this unknown castle, before its renovation, presented by its young and new owner.
🔴 SUBSCRIBE to the channel @SoChateauxTV for more exclusive tours of French Chateaux.
Antoni created a KZhead Channel, for those who want to follow the restoration: youtube.com/@ChateaudeDampierre
A beautiful chateau. Antoni is one handsome doctor!
My thoughts exactly.....😘
Young and handsome, many good years ahead!
He should have large life-size paintings of himself for the history of the house.
Yes, he is super handsome, and I seldom say that. Nice that he studied and doing well in all ways
It’s heartening to see the appreciation and restoration of France’s beautiful old buildings. I do hope Antoni Calmon starts his own KZhead channel so we can follow along and see life infused back into Chateau de Dampierre.
Yessssssss! I really hope so, too.....would be absolutely wonderful to follow along on the journey and restoration of such an incredible property ❤️
Yes, I hope so also.
YES!
I agree. I could help fund his restorations, bring advice and give so much joy to those who wish to follow this incredible Chateaus journey
yes||||||||~~~~~please
I like how he actually knows the history of the house he is renovating and not just tearing it up
The whole point of buying such properties and going through painful and expensive of renovation is to preserve the original style. Otherwise he would have probably gone with something modern
@@olgaanisimova6916 People often buy old things and "improve" them
I don't think he knows renovation costs. This is going to cost millions.
This is a listed building. He can’t just do as he wants. He must follow certain rules.
Dear Antoni, maybe I have an answer for the electrics in the towers. You might consider placing a handrail - une balustrade - against the outer wall that spirals along with the stairs. It could be hollow and hold the tubes, or - if its a wooden handrail - have a recess on the invisable side. From there you would only have short distances of wiring to the lamps. For the electrics to the rooms there are probably ways to hide the wiring in or behind drainage pipes, through sealings, behind insulation ... There will no doubt be examples in other castles. Enjoy this wonderful building!
It’s amazing the strength of these buildings standing for centuries. Good seeing a Frenchman restoring a piece of French history. That kitchen will be beautiful!
Not if he rips out his antique fler de lis Desvres tiles it won't. He does not know their value.
@@TheSecretChateau give him a break. He will learn. It will be good
If you mean the blue tiles in the kitchen, he said they were from the 60s as all the original wood and floors were sold. Listen. Be kind.
@@northerngirl4666 At one glance I could tell to a year what decade those Desvres tiles are from. They are famous in Normandie. My family owns one of the manufacturers and have been in production since 1852. Be kind? You know nothing. Lecture someone else if you think you know what you're talking about!
@@TheSecretChateau There is another Chateau lady who is English and her husband is (German?) if I remember correctly and she had these delft (?) type tiles or Desvres as you say, replaced by hand ...she is an artist and she either redesigned them but in the old technique or replaced them. I can't remember. But she used one of the last artisans who does this kind of work. Perhaps you are the one? Anyway she did a fine job. She had quite the artist's eye to draw beautiful floral patterns on them in the blue & white style. The Fleur de Lis is such a special symbol of pre-revolutionary France. The royals used the symbol, and the English also used it (or copied it) and I'm sure it has special meaning and spiritual significance. Many crowns of gold among the European monarchs were wrought using this motif/symbol. I hope he retains these tiles and replaces the missing ones with one of the old manufacturers like your family as well!! He can call it the Fleur de Lis Room ...& his China or Stoneware can be in blue and white also ...that used to be very common in 17th and 18th century Europe/France as well ...especially when trade with China became more common ...then European craftsmen came up with more European scenes ...but keeping the blue and white colors. It would be stunning!!! A blue & white kitchen/dining room/family-dining area!
It’s good to see a French man with taste and style restoring a lovely chateau unlike some people with very questionable taste buying chateaux with no cash and certainly no dash!
Are they in Egypt atm!!!
@@arnicepernice8656 I think the Chatelaine of that Chateau has much better taste than many other of the owners featured on Channel 4's Chateaux DIY. The couple from Essex's Chateaux is dire. Dreadful dark flocked wallpaper and bling everywhere. Very Essex.
@@arnicepernice8656 Stephanie has excellent taste and a very good understanding of what is appropriate in her chateau. I'm an architectural historian and specialize in period interiors. She is doing the best job of restoration and decoration of any other KZheadr that I know of, except for Timothy Corrigan of the U.S. and a few other owners, like Jacques Garcia, who is vastly wealthy and can do whatever he likes. Luckily, what Jacques does is appropriate. John Bourke was referring to a few others, whom I won't name - NOT to Lalande. If you think her taste is questionable, then perhaps you could more fully research period French decor. She is doing it right - especially considering that Lalande is a blank slate, having been burned in the 19th c.
@@cynthialambert9067 perhaps you could note that using fake expensive ENGLISH wallpaper when you have no heat , rotting windows, rooms in much worse repair than when she bought does not make for good restoration. I have a very good appreciation of correct landscaping and interiors which is what attracted me to this channel. It’s now being ruined by frippery and her boyfriend who has absolutely no sense of style,colour , period or proper proportions. And endless very poor purchases. Filling the place with junk. With 33k a month from patron many other chateau would be heated, and decorated along with laid staff not volunteers. Using inappropriate panelling for much grander rooms ,Iwould not want your advice thank you. She did do some very creative things in the past few years now nothing. The marquis apartment is a mess, who decorates when the fires and chimney need attention. It’s dreadful management. You can tell Isabelle is very unhappy about things too. Anyway there are some who need to dream and escape and for some reason they find her chateau. It would also seem that many are now not returning .And you always come up to defend your princess. Let’s see what befalls the grand salon ,cure held up with props.
@@arnicepernice8656 🤣
Love his philosophy for his home. It is meant to be lived in and enjoyed not just admired. Best of luck in your restoration progress.
What a fabulous new owner. Charming, charismatic and, it has to be said, very, very handsome!
can't believe he treated me he is an excellent doctor and very responsible congratulations on the beautiful castle.
Yea, i would like to be “treated”by this handsome doctor 🤪
@@patriciahedrick4197 Damn that's hot. I think this will serve me as my wet thought for today
I would watch Antoni read the phone book....and I bet I'm not alone!
I'm 66 I want to ask if he needs a wife. 😂
How right you are..he is such a dish...I wish he were my doctor...oh.boy!
Oh La la. 😂
🤭🤫🤭
Mike Lowe: Down boy, take a cold shower. But maybe he needs help with the renovation (like the British gay couple who have guests visit and work on projects in addition to the mother, father and nephew) and you could offer your services. Yes, yes, I know you want to give him a ‘hand’ but I think you’d have to get in line! But damn, those white pants look like the’re painted on!! Mon Dieu!!😅
These buildings are so special..I am happy that a young person like you is willing to bring it back to life.
All power to this man's elbow for taking on this amazingly beautiful project. What is especially wonderful is that it will be his house and not some dodgy commercial venture ! Respect and success to him and the house !
Mansart?!? Wow. What a national treasure. Thank you for documenting your restoration.
Mansard
That was Mansart's chateau! Amazing!
For the last two years, I've watched English, Americans and Australians buy chateaux in France. Finally, some real French folks are getting in on the act, not just selling, but buying. I thought maybe the French just didn't like the old buildings and old things anymore, except as museums.
Judgemental! There are many many French people doing this, just not on TV. Things are still real, even if they are not on TV!
@@katehobbs2008 exactly if they watched one or two French speaking chateau owners on YT their feeds would start showing more of them. It’s just that most Americans only speak English.
This channel features mostly French chateau owners.
There are supposedly over 43 000 manor houses and bigger in France many for sale in all states of repair ,some with no land at all ,roofs can be patched but a big looming expense for you sad the interiors gone ,some records of interior must exist hopefully so you can insulate rooms you wish to use and decorate as period and have modern advances to your taste the exteriors are original and beautiful but inside you could paint it pink as bare masonry left by builders when panaling and floors striped out.wiould be worth it to reproduce the blue tile in the kitchen to make good all to the damage.A water turbine would be a great help to heat the Leakey rooms.
The French do like old buildings,they don’t have the money
Lovely Dr, can’t wait to see what he does with this beautiful chateau. The story of the Germans occupying the chateau remind me of my stay at Chateau de Bousquet in Normandy. They also occupied that chateau. I was stood at the front entry one morning while the sun was streaming across the stone facade and there etched into the stone was the word NAZI. It was only seen when the light hit it a certain angle. The owners didn’t know it was there. It’s fascinating to be in a place where there are so many layers of history. I lived in Scotland in a 350 yr old house, it took me while to see but in the foot worn stone stairs were fossils from when the east coast was an ancient lake bed.
Oh Wow! Amazing my friend, amazing! I'm sure your home must be just gorgeous too. Btw, IMPO, France, Scotland & Ireland, so very beautiful! All beautiful, but in their own unique ways. Almost all of Europe is beautiful, in it's own right, but the 3 mentioned above, oh yes please!
Очень мотивированное видео.молодому человеку удачи и в этой реконструкции.моя любовь Франция. С приветом из Израиля!😊
So exciting to see someone who is passionate and educated about restoring a historical landmark in France. May all the stars line up for you and your family.
Are you kidding?! This castle comes with a handsome prince!
I applaud the fact a French man is restoring a château, I lived in belle France for 8 years and so many of the countries beautiful châteaux were either derelict or English owned. Its a glorious country with some of the kindest people I have ever met and of course the worlds best food and wine. Vive la France 🇫🇷. I very much look forward to seeing the recreation of the 17th century interior. It is something I used to dream of doing, its a period of French interiors that is so beautiful.
I fully agree with your sentiments here! I typed something very similar. Cheers
I have already made a comment on this video after watching it a while ago but I have to say I am really looking forward to seeing more of Antoni's , Dr. Calmon's videos, he is so down to earth and so nice. I love his Chateaux, it is beautiful. I wish him all the best. Jeff
You're gonna hear this until your ears ring. What a pleasure to see you Chateaulains, renovating and occupying these beautiful French, historic homes. These buildings are so grand ; thank you for sharing your journey with us. I'm Looking forward to seeing all the inspiring updates and secretly hoping that you don't change a thing! Wishing you and yours lots of happy years in your new home. 🏠
What a wonderfully charming, intelligent man! I look forward to seeing the restoration!
I wish more people would do this around the world. So much history falling apart and being forgotten
The sheer size of the buildings is daunting! Such beautiful windows. I’m so glad it will be restored to its former glory! This young man has purchased this beautiful home & will restore it. That’s wonderful that he has the desire to do this. It’s sad that so much was sold off. I would love to see this restored. I’m going to try to see what history I can find on this residence.
I am beyond happy to have found your channel! Finally, a true restoration. I get so frustrated with some of the other chateau channels when they change or update (eek). You have the perfect old soul to take this on and truly bring your beautiful home back to it's glory.
Комната с камином просто шик! Удачи и вдохновения на творческий ремонт.Главное не спешить, а получать удовольствие от работы.
Желаю восстановить,как планируете,жить и наслаждаться,гордиться собой и историей,.Мне нравятся шато и старинные здания,буду с радостью смотреть за вашей стройкой🇰🇿💚✊🙏🙏🙏🤗
I love it! Greetings from America. I love this chateau. The two dwellings. So fabulous. And glad to see this house is manageable -'slim' you stated. I can't wait to see your progress! Thank you for taking the time to explain things, learning new things all the time. I also watch Chateau Theil. A different property of course that needed alot of work - especially to be l'hotel. It is amazing the creative energy of the past.
The tower with the spiral staircase and fireplaces are truly amazing. The vaulted ceilings in the kitchen are to die for.
I am so glad you got the chateaux to rescue it and live a life full of love and happiness. Bless you.
A beautiful property! I too love the size of the chateau. Very manageable. Such a shame so much of the original beauty was sold off. Cant wait to see what you do with it Antoni! Being able to remove the ceiling upstairs to expose the original beams is so exciting!
It is very refreshing to see a Frenchman buying and restoring his country’s history instead of those from other countries. My hats off to you! And Love the blue kitchen tile. Living the way people did. How awesome.! Tres Bien
The passion and enthusiasm for this renovation/restoration comes right through the camera! Thank you for sharing the details and your inspiration behind each choice. Super excited to be able to follow this journey!
I'm lost for words. Congratulations on your new home. I could only imagine living or staying in such a place as this. I hope you have many warm memories here moving forward. The architecture is stunning
Yes, the architecture is stunning & mind blowing indeed!
Finally! A Frenchman renovating his heritage! I have been watching all kinds of nationalities snapping up and refurbishing French Chateaux and was left wondering why were French people letting this happen? Were their own people not interested in saving their heritage? Was the price higher for a French person? Were the French not interested in DIY? I just couldn’t understand it. Now this!! Wonderful! And what an absolutely fabulous place! The original little castle gateway and the truly beautifully proportioned main house. It’s going to be a blast watching this gem brought to gleaming life. One last word - that unbelievable wooden floor upstairs! WOW! No other word seems to fit! And the Germans ripped up a floor like that for firewood? I pass no judgement now but I have no words for the barbarity. Well, they must be warm enough where I hope they have landed up! Good luck, Good Doctor! This is very exciting!
Or maybe the youtube channels are more international oriented, a lot of French people are renovating, taking care of heritage building. Your view based on what you see on internet might have a bias. There're problems with taking care of building in France ( and Europe) but good , it's not just foreigners that are taking care of it ...
What I want to know why are so many families letting their Chateaus deteriorate ……. while they are disputing in court what do do with their inheritance
@@gioiapharo7433 Apparently there are often multiple owners of a property and they often cannot come to an agreement, as every child, by French law, has a share. When this comes to the next generation then the next, I suppose it becomes really complicated.
There are lots of French people doing the châteaux, just not on TV.
My thoughts exactly I'm french myself and it is refreshing
What a lucky guy to live his dream in such a beautiful place!
Thank you immensely for the tour of your new home, it is by far the most beautiful place I've ever seen, and everything you describe on brining it back will be incredible. I will visit the area, and I will surely love to see the place. You are an amazing human being, who appreciates the fine work of the past, and I send blessing to you and your incredible amazing new place. (THANK YOU)
I love how he is restoring it to what it was and also is recycling all material. That will give it a Marie authentic feel and look. Very cool! I love when people do this. I don’t like when they destroy the history of the building. These buildings are so unique and that’s good. I don’t like when homes all look the same. It’s boring when they are like that. This is going to be absolutely beautiful when he is done.
What a beautiful building! A KZhead channel by Antoni would be great.
A you tube video by Antoni would be SO exciting. I'd be quite interested in watching the restoration as well. ....! !
As an architect, I truly appreciate the craftsmanship! Good luck with your restoration !
The holes seem small for birds are you speaking homing pigeons. Interesting
I agree. However I suspect perhaps the holes were anchors for rods on which the birds could perch for resting and sleeping.
I love the way he said he wants a real kitchen with a real piano to cook. How quaint 😊
I can only imagine how beautiful this chateau was in its original state. Dr. Calmon's passion for restoring this property to its original glory is so heartfelt! Please share follow up videos on the restoration of your beautiful home. Congratulations on preserving this history piece of French architecture.
I'm very excited to about the restoration of this chateau. The fact that the two buildings represent two periods in history and the fact the main building was designed by Mansard. Antoni's philosophy that the building is a house that should be "lived in" instead of being a "museum" speaks volumes. Congrats! As an architect and historic preservationist, I hope to follow the progress, visit the property, and will be happy to assist. I'm in the USA, but I am buying a property in the south of France and plan to relocate early in 2023 (just a few months from now). Again, congrats!
@@phyllisburrell8661 I'm considering posting videos on KZhead. I have a channel that I've not used, yet, but have updated info on it. Stay tuned. Thank you-
@@nativetexson Yes! Don't you dare do it without us. Take us along for the journey... Lol🌼
@@monicagaitor6751 I subscribed already to this channel. Ha ha. Yes beautiful to follow.
Congrats on your upcoming move. France is magical. I would follow you vlog when you start the journey to restore a chateau
@@Cate7451 what is the name of the château ? I can’t read it on the video.
I hope Antoni creates a KZhead to watch his restoration. Fantastic Chateau / Castle
How incredibly exciting. I love older homes. You will keep us informed as you rebuild your home? It will be a long labor of love. I think it’s brilliant that you are going to take the house closer to the time it was built. Modern decor in old homes does not seem right, does it? Best of luck in the construction and I look forward to your next video 🇨🇦
What a lovely man! So great that people like you get to own a place like this! Oh, how I’d love to visit after renovation is completed! Those rooms! Those windows! And those views! 😍 Congratulations!
Aude is a very nice departament.... we're in 23 surrounded by 3 chateaux 🥰🥰
I too hope Antoni starts his own You Tube Channel so we can follow along! This Chateau is enchanting and we so livable!
I agree. He also has a very kind and intelligent demeanor that is very calming.
This is going to be so beautiful when all the work is done. I think a lot of love will be poured into it’s renovation.
“Restore and respect, create and image”…..lovely! This dude is super lovable!!!
Enduring buildings deserve the refurbishment and people to thrive in them. Marvelous project ! Congratulations finding this treasure to revive!
What a beautiful Chateau…I hope you are going to have weekly vlogs as you restore your Chateau. There are about seven that I follow and I love seeing how they bring them “back to life”. There are a few that I may not like how they restored or decorated them and I literal lyrics say, “No, please don’t paint over that beautiful wood”. So happy you are going to restore yours to the Original style. That staircase is the best I have seen to date. Oh, and the gate is stunning!
Which ones do follow? I have some I follow too.
Worst mistake of a person's life. better buy other things
@@gamerhd8101 Most things in life are a waste of money, it is to each person how they'd like to waste theirs. He will not profit from doing this but the chateau will stand for longer because of it.
For the building shown within the first 3 minutes, I think electricians would either use *corrugated wire loom tubing or pvc tubing* and attach electrical wire, plugs, switches, and lights to the face of the brickwork (electricians, correct me if I’m wrong). I enjoyed watching this video and look forward to seeing the progress on his renovations and the final results of all his work and research. He seems very knowledgeable and sincere in wanting to keep his renovations true to the original design. This looks like a beautiful property and I wish him success in all his plans.
Another wonderful building going to be brought back to as it was in its prime, what a beautiful home and what a fabulous gate house! The top floor rooms in many of these homes were often for servants to live, some even have remnants of the presence of these very much needed but possibly not well looked after people in some cases. Many thanks for this, look forward to more updates on the restoration and how things are going. Every good wish on your new home, fabulous.
Antoni I wish you all the best of luck in your endeavors to restore your Chateau . You have acquired a very beautiful building .
I admire people who choose to renovate and live on these chateau. They are truly magnificent on their prime. It's so dreamy and nostalgic I feel like I am reincarnated on this era
I admire you restores, restoring and reparations, heart warming and so interesting ❤
It is such a stunning property with amazing bones... sad to see that massive support post in the middle of your staircase, but you will correct that eventually as you mentioned. I hope to follow your progress if you and your other half choose to share your insppiring restoration adventure with the world. (Cheers from Toronto, Canada.)
He is smart and speaks several languages, he is a doctor, he is elegant and tall, he has dimples when he smiles, he is gorgeous, he is French ... and he owns a château en France and can afford to keep it! 😇🙌 My oh my ❣☺
He’s as gorgeous as the chateau
Dr Mcdreamy lmao
Thank you for letting us see your home. Absolutely a time capsule. A treasure!
The Chateau is beautiful. I will look forward to seeing the steps of the restoration work. Thank you for showing us.
Очень хорошая задумка с реконструкцией старинного замка! И очень приятное лицо у хозяина дома☺️Удачи и вдохновения
A beautiful building that will come back to life by someone who appreciates its history and it’s future. The past matters but it will be a well loved home again for the future.
Hi Antoni. I love that you are going to 'create and imagine' this beauty back to her original glory. I agree with other comments about some restorations do not respect the 'original' interior design. You said you have some photos. This is very fortunate and will help immensely. It is lovely to see your passion for Dampierre and her past. I look forward to further videos and hope you start your own KZhead channel.
Please let us know if you will be starting a KZhead channel. I'd love to follow your progress. What a marvelous estate.
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎉 what an amazing chateaux! I am so happy you are restoring that amazing castle properly! I completely agree with you it would be so amazing to use the castle how it was used in the 1700. You are living my dream! It’s my dream to properly renovate an amazing French chateaux! All of the future gold leaf is exciting! Good luck from the USA
The tower and the Chateau were both in excellent condition considering how old they are; just amazing! Equally amazing how clean they are. I really enjoyed the tour- although it would have been nice to see the bathrooms too- but I think this Chateau has been the only Chateau I've seen in such good condition, (so far that is). Thank you so much for the tour; I wish you all the best in renovating it.
Merci Antoni de prendre soin de ce magnifique chateau. Il est entre de bonnes mains.
I’m very surprised that both buildings are still in pretty decent shape. I think you have something here!
Ну, прелесть! Начиная с входа и шикарных ажурных врат. А лепнина, а камины, а деревянные потолки, короче, работы интересной, увлеченной на годы. Что поразило. Врач. Наш бы врач и на квартиру не каждый скопил. Не то, что на покупку замка и реконструкцию. Браво! Молодчина!
How exciting to be so up close and personal with parts of history that we can only dream of. I’ve been seeing many people restoring so many of these gorgeous château. It’s wonderful to see history being preserved rather than torn down. I wish they would do this in North America as well.
Fan from New Zealand. Thank you for sharing your home and I admire your journey to build and create the château founded on family, friends and community relationships. Truly living within your home brings life back to this special château. Much respect🙏
Can't wait to see your progress on this lovely property. Bon chance!
It’s so good to see these beautiful structures brought back to life and enjoyed by people. They are treasures to be preserved. 😊👍🏼
Absolutely charming gentleman with a warm and interesting story of his restoration. It is a very beautiful chateau. More in the future I hope.
This is a stellar chateau! It is in good condition for having been restored way back in the 1950's. It has good 'bones'. The original wood floor that was not removed & sold is gorgeous! It will be awesome to see the floors & the entirety brought back to its original look.
Hello from virgnia USA. What a wonderful home..so glad a Frenchman is keeping your history alive. I agree w Beth install solar and motion detecting lighting. Enjoyed your tour very much..
It is absolutely beautiful. Never been to France but have family roots extending there. You are appreciated for doing this and sharing your journey.
Beautiful! I will be following the progress and enjoying the adventure. A dream come true, I think, well done! What a treat to see this! My ancestors were French from Normandy, sailed to Canada, migrated South with Pere Gibault to found Vincennes, Indiana, where I was born. Later moved to Texas, where I now reside. Wishing you a happy renovation/restoration.
Antoni Calmon, has great vision for this beautiful Chateau, I hope he starts his own KZhead channel so we can follow his amazing journey. Best wishes from Australia
Your Chateaux is beautiful. I can only imagine how grand it will look! I would love to see it one day.
We just found your KZhead video. We are impressed by your spirit and philosophy towards the restoration of a beautiful and fascinating chateaux. We anxious await update videos of your progress. As a physician I know the time constraints you have as well as the financial stress of your undertaking.
Such an Beautiful castle, so antique and middle aged!! There is a lot to be done, but it will be all worthy!!!!! Chapeau to the French Doctor...he bought himself an nice Antique Home!! God Bless him and his Beloved Ones! All Good Things Coming him/their way!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌼🌼🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🏵️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🤗🤗🤗🤗
What a beautiful place. You are an excellent tour guide and the camera person also did a great job. Are you going to start a KZhead channel?? I would love to see how the progress and renovation is going. Thanks so much.
This house is in immaculate shape!! You are quite fortunate because most castles, in France, are not in great shape. I love the front foyer.
The most beautiful chateau by far inside and out. It’s already incredible as it is. can’t wait to see you make it perfect. I like your ideas and you have impeccable taste
I agree! I honestly find most French people to have great taste, as when I lived/worked in France, I rarely came across anything truly out of place, inappropriate, ugly or tacky as it were. I watch numerous French documentaries, regarding Chateaux & general architecture & interior design across France & all are always, so beautiful & very tastefully furnished.
Je vous félicite pour cette acquisition. Je suis vraiment réconforté par votre projet, et surtout votre désir d'être fidèle à la maison à son apogée. J'ai souvent pensé que ce serait amusant, ainsi qu'une façon d'apprendre l'histoire, d'avoir une sorte de fête où les gens portaient les vêtements, mangeaient la nourriture et vivaient un jour (ou deux) comme cela se faisait historiquement. Je pense que cela ouvrirait les yeux et permettrait d'apprécier à la fois la façon dont ils vivaient à l'époque, mais aussi un contexte pour les événements historiques et une compréhension plus complète de leur signification.
D'accord.
For the stairs, consider battery-powered motion detecting LED lighting & invest in rechargeable batteries + a solar system to recharge. Many come with a variety of adhesives that will be far less damaging to the stone than drilling into it. If they’re bright enough & come in enough fashionable colors & finishes for kitchens, closets, & hallways, you’re bound to find something that will blend tastefully with the stone walls & stairs while giving sufficient light to navigate in the dark.
What a gorgeous château! I'm very curious to see the result of the restauration and renovation!!! Please put that on the channel or tell where to find it 🙏
Pray all is going well with renovations and I know it is not always easy to get everything though the channels etc, but really do hope it is moving along alright? Looking forward to seeing more and following along. Can see this will be so lovely when finished, You do have one lovely home. I know it is a Chateau, but also a true home. Think you for taking the time to walk through all of the rooms with us so we can enjoy it from the beginning.
You can tell he's so Passionate about restoring the house the Right Way
I just saw a beautiful idea for bringing water & power into old buildings. They use polished sealed copper piping & conduit. I wish I could send a picture! It looks absolutely beautiful! ❤️🙏
Beautiful château. The proportions and luminosity of the rooms are wonderful.
What a terrific purchase with lots of potential. I especially like the main house with its narrow design and windows providing natural light throughout. You have a great vision for the place, and I wish you the best on your restoration.
I can listen to the Accent all day. Absolutely love the front of this place. Mind you I do like all old places.
What an incredible place! In English, the stairs you have are called "Spiral Staircases".The timber framing that's holds the place up is gorgeous. Just an amazing place all around Antoni. You asked for suggestion on the front house/castle for power. You might try using base boards that are hollow to run power and/or internet, it might not be period correct but I would guess something like that would be easy to blend in. With the awesome fireplace, while huge and beautiful I'd guess much of the heat from any fire will go out the chimney. You might think about putting in a wood burning stove. Something made with soapstone might be ideal as it is supposed to retain the heat from a fire then slowly release it. I've never used one but I know with the older cast iron stoves they release heat very fast so as soon as the fire is out, the heat soon leaves. Anyway, congratulations on your purchase. That place is just amazing!
There are some steps that can be taken to reflect the heat outward and help to circulate it as well, with the fireplace.
So very exciting! Hopefully we will be enjoying many hours of following your restoration on this wonderful old Chateau!
Absolutely amazing chateaux! Congratulations to the new lucky owner!
One of the most beautiful castles I have seen for a long time and it really isn’t in that poor state like you see some in France congratulations on really the good condition and the roof looks in good condition
I am entirely enthralled with the gate house. The architectural design is exquisite! I could live in this beautiful Building happily and never leave. Waiting for more videos and love from America.
