7 years later, he is sharing the current situation of his castle, under restoration.
He is in a midlle of huge project of roof and facades renovation, with a 1.000.000€ project.
You can watch and other episode (filmed 1 year earlier) dedicated to Edouard Guyot and his chateau: • At 23, He BOUGHT a FRE...
What an inspirational young man. I never knew before today that slate tiles were nailed to mansard roofs.
buying a mansion with daddys fortune, yeah so inspirational
Superbe présentation de ce magnifique château.On sent la passion dévorante.Bravo à ce jeune homme et à tous les corps de métiers qui s'affairent sur ce gigantesque bâtiment.Les vitres anciennes ont effectivement un cachet que n'ont pas les vitres modernes.A chaque fois que je passe dans la cour du Palais-Royal (Paris), je ne peux m'empêcher de regarder ces belles vitres anciennes au 1er étage avec leurs reflets, vitres qui n'ont rien à voir dans leur essence avec les vitres modernes.Beaucoup plus chic et classieux.
such a huge and complicated project at this age, and he is so involved, is to be admired his passion for this project, I would like to see this place after the restauration is done
I must congratulate you on your enthusiasn for restoring this magnificent chateau and preserving it for future generations to enjoy.
Allez-vous isoler le toit pendant que vous êtes là-haut, cela vous permettra d’économiser beaucoup. Vos artisans ont fait un travail incroyable, votre château est magnifique.
The control of the water is fascinating and important--one inch off, one hole and you would have water damage that only grows until addressed. The copper and slate are beautiful materials to work with, even the wood nailers are wonderful to look at. I really envy the craftsmen getting to work with all those materials.
Excellent craftsmanship by all! What a joy to see this chateau restored!
A work of art. Such passion and expertise.
This restoration is impressive, as well as your knowledge of so many details of the reconconstruction. It is a wonderful thing to see these amazing chateaus being restored. Bravo! I love hearing how you envision your grandchildren and beyond will also be enjoying it as caretakers, too, for many years to come.
The chateau is becoming magnificent again.
Wow...simply amazing restoration. The owner is so informative and determined. Vaux is a fabulous château!!
I was so looking forward to the restorations at this gorgeous chateau! It’s so heartwarming to see this building come back to life again and open for tours. This is exciting! Thank you for this update.
What an amazing task for this person. Well done and good luck.
Glad to see French to take pride in their cultural heritage still lot of chateaux to go 😊😊😅
So wonderful! Should have more people in the world like him! It is so uplifting seeing castles that needs love and attention getting it! Cudos to him and his family! Much love from Trinidad and Tobago!
Fascinating, admirable. Congratulations on having such a good relationship with such a dedicated team. And also, that the whole project can be helped with the funds through interested and caring visitors. Hats off to you.
thank you for sharing. This video is a treasure to show how skilled craftsman can do miracles.
Bravo Monsieur!
Thank you for providing the English translations. I have watched this in the original French but could not understand the details. This gives it a richer and more technical perspective.
I hope the subtitles will help you. If you haven't watched it yet, here is the 1st episode we made with Edouard Guyot, last year: kzhead.info/sun/iNGDoM1lbYGmqqM/bejne.html
Un beau boulot avec les sous-titres! ;) I've never done an escape room, but I imagine it must be that much more fun in a proper château! 🏃⬅🏰
Yes, the subtitles help immensely! I did change the playback to .75 speed so I could read as well as take in the views as you were explaining. That really helped! 🤗
Wonderful!
Bravo encore à ce jeune homme de préserver le patrimoine français. La charpente est très intéressante et sait-on si le bois de cette charpente a été luné ? C’est à dire coupé à une période précise de l’année et en fonction de la position de la lune. Les anciens (et bien avant la construction de ce château !) le faisait déjà. Les artisans d’aujourd’hui pratiquent-ils encore cette méthode d’abattage du bois ?? Curieux de le savoir… encore bravo M. Guyot !!!
I can hardly believe that for less than one Mill this huge house could be rebuilt from ground up. I would have estimated 3 mill.
Magnifique !
Bravo la famille Guyot
Hello from Alberta Canada ❤❤❤
This is similar in scale to Château de Purnon. Same sort of work and costs! They have the same symmetry with the twin outbuildings opposite each other in front.
This young man is like a Count.
I cannot believe all the work to be completed will only run $1,000,000 Euros. Surely someone's made a mistake calculating the full cost of this project? ❤️🙏
Tree Bella so beutiful
It’s beautiful, but I can’t see how you are able to do all that work for a million Euros. Surely the cost is far higher..?
That’s exactly what came to mind when I heard that. Without knowing the details…. I believe that there must be funding formulas whereby the State throws in “seed money” allowing for private funding/loans to pick up the rest. He spoke of “tour revenues” which raked in funds by charging a 7 Euro admission fee. This covered the cost of purchasing 1 slate per admission. He mentioned 160,000 visits more or less. The Guyot family is “all in” with these restorations which started with his dad. The kids were initiated very young…. hands on. Suave and sophisticated “high diving acts” 😉🇨🇦
@@presspound7358 True, the Guyot family are famous in France to buy and restore derelicted châteaux since early 80s. They now have at least, 6 or 7 big châteaux in all France..
Cómo lo dijo su dueño es una tarea titánica de restauración, pero finalmente quedará muy bonito para ser visitado por muchos años más.
If you have been working on this 7 yrs. How old were you when you acquired the chateau, 11 ? You look so young!
1M is like nothing for a project of this size and needs. Wow.
much os the castle area in Budapest that was bombed is being rebuy from original plans- exteriors are done as the originals, but modern construction underneath - it was thrill to see the masonry work` i think there are 12 buildings to be done - 4 completed. the main castle was made usable during the communist era, but it too will be put back like it was. Many of the elaborate interiors are not to be restored.
❤ de chine
How much is restoration in the castle?
Does he have a KZhead channel
1 million eur seems too little, considering that the roof tiles only are 840.000 eur
It's sad that the central scultures of the angels were not cleaned
🎥😄🤩🙌 🏰 🤗 🇺🇸
So sorry but you are speaking so fast I can’t follow the closed captions. Please at least pause for a brief time so us English speaking people can understand what and where your journey has been and is taking us in the future. I am very interested but even though I am a very rapid reader I still can’t keep up. … from PA, USA.
You can change the playback speed of the video in the settings to 0.5 or 0.75.
go to settings and you can slow down the video 3 speeds slower or just one- make a big difference and lets you have time to see the work
FORMIDABLE!
with daddy's money you can do anything hahahaha
You have people having easy money doing crap also. Most important are education, respect and will.
@@dominique4700 a 23 yo guy doesnt have any money, this chateau would have been atleast 500k euro to buy, where did the money come from you stupid moron, @ 23 even if he didnt go to uni he would have only worked for maximum 5 years the average wage in france for a 18-23yo guy is maybe 20-30k euro a year, in 5 years the maximum he could save even if he lived at home is about 150k max. he's still at least 350k euro short just to buy it with no renovations, money doesnt grow on tress smart ass so unless he is into drug dealing or is some kind of criminal there is no legit way he could earn that money by the time hes 23, if its daddys money, an inheritance or maybe family money i have no problem with that, be honest where the money came from, if hes some kind or entrepreneur who created an ap that sold for millions then no problem, google purchased one of my companies for $500 million usd, so i know its possible, again this is fine but be honest how hes paying for things, and i didnt criticise anything my partner is a french ballet dancer and i love everything france, what i dont like is when people are not truthful
@@thierrymilan2039 education respect and will dont pay bills money does and 27 yo guys dont have millions of euro to throw at these projects,unles its famil money or an inheritance which is fine but i just dont like when people are not transparent and honest
@@davidg-bp4zk That's what happens when you don't nothing about a subject or a person. Those people are not millionnaires, they are just living their passion and work hard for it. Their parents began from very little at a time big derelicted châteaux were a bargain. Their children had no holiday and were helping their parents from childhood so they know what this very specific business is about. I made a lot of search about this family before arguing anyrhing, because I don't want to be disrespectful about someone I don't live with. So again, respect, education, strong will and hardwork. No blabla.
@@dominique4700 Hi Dominique, the money these young guys have is called a loan from a bank, they worked a few years before getting anything and the only help from their parents was not fresh cash but maybe a mortgage from their own estates.
