I love what he did to this chateau, the furniture and accessories, the textiles, the statues, the portraits, crown mouldings, everything is perfect,C' est magnifique!
Merci beaucoup pour vous montrer nous cettes beautés. J'étais reallement heureuxe pour les regarder. A joli cadeau. Le meilleur. Pardonne moi pour ma pauvre dominiun de la langue française que j'adore. Merçi beaucoup pour nous inviter a le voir vous château, chose impossible pour moi, mais je vous promet que je vais regarder cette video beaucoup des fois. Merci encore. Je lui souhaite bonne chance.
Un homme passionné et un château magnifique, ça fait plaisir de voir des hommes utilisé leur fortune pour protéger et restaurer notre patrimoine, c'est tout a l'honneur de ce monsieur.
La meme passion que Jacques Garcia pour l'histoire, la restauration et les objets, heureusement qu'ils existent pour preserver notre histoire et la partager surtout.
Thank you so very much for graciously and generously sharing your most astoundingly magnificent home. A most absorbing and intimate visit.
Thank you for your tour of your grand palace. I watched it the first time just to read the subtitles... Then I went back and watched it a second time to look at all the beautiful historical antiques. It is truly amazing you have amassed such a wonderful collection! THANK YOU!
Magnifique plaisir de vous écouter, merci de ce grand plaisir , un cadeau 🎁
Absolutely one of my favourites, it's divine from top to bottom. I especially loved that all the paintings have been lovingly restored to their former glory and sparkle in their original colours. And the peacocks .....swoon. There isn't anything i don't love about it. Exquisite taste and exceptionally done. This is the gold standard many others should aspire to. Thank you for allowing us the honour to see it half a world away. ❤
Amongst restored castles, one of the best, if not the best furnished I have seen.
This may be my favourite French man. I think I could sit and listen to him for hours! From his fishnet wearing ostrich and love for birds to his casual drop of wolf rehabilitation support to the way his proper French blue dining room leads to the next salon visually connected by the draperies... this was utterly fascinating. I hope that my French is one day good enough to converse with him at a dinner party. And that my château is worthy of his attendance.
I suspect Lord Bath to be responsible for the fishnet…..😀
Monsieur Remilleaux
Enchanting man and I very much liked all the things the mentioned also ( big animal lover myself and adore all shades of blue 🦋)
C'est exactement comme ça qu'on voudrait voir une restauration de château. Bravo, Monsieur Remilleux! C'est magnifique.
Magnifique!
I 💕 love what Jean Louis Remilleux has done to chateau digione, the furniture and accessories, the textiles and the crown mouldings, everything is perfect! C' est magnifique! From Ms Diana LaFleur Oakland CA USA
So lovely! Like living in a history book. The colors used were very pretty. And that greenhouse! I would love to see & smell those 3,000 roses in bloom! Thank you, that tour was splendid. You are Very hospitable.
Merci monsieur, quelle beauté! So pleased to see our English heritage represented too. Bonne chance, Christine and Richard ⚜️
Now this man has style!
An amazing feat, (and an amazing cost, I'm sure), restoring and re-furnishing the castle. I loved the 'Serre' orangerie.
What a task you have before you but the rewards will be over the moon! The chateau is lucky to have you and your determination! Good luck and much success in all you do!❤
magnifique! superbe restauration et décoration!
Magnifique! Avec l'amour d'Amérique! ♥️
Merci, magnifique, nous attendons avec impatience votre surprise !
effectivement c'est magnifique ! Quel amour du patrimoine et des belles choses agencées avec respect et intelligence ! Bravo . Heureusement que des gens de goût sauvent notre patrimoine . Le commentaire de M. Remilleux est parfait , dit avec simplicité , c'est vraiment captivant . Absolument magnifique !
Absolument splendide et spectaculaires! Félicitations !
Ce qui est impressionnant c’est qu’il a acheté le château totalement vide c’est lui qui a totalement remeublé le château
Thank you for your beautifully educational video. The Castle seems to have a lively spirit about it. Some of the mansions being built in America are generic monstrosities that off-gas into the nature around them. Thank you for having the heart to preserve history and craftsmanship.
Merveillieux!!! Thank you so much, such taste, such passion, such beauty!!!
Wow! Thank-you so much for the tour. May you enjoy each and every moment of your Chateau life. I wish to see more! From London, ON ,Canada. We also have -15 degree's Celsius weather. Cozy inside!
Beautiful Historic about the castle and the owners and families
A lovely classical gentleman preserving history. My favorite breed. Beautiful to see successive generations passing the trust, one to the next.
Stunning château and a fabulous tour.
Merci, Thank you so much for the tour of this magnificent Chateau complemented by your eloquent and elegant narration. The Chateau is a treasure of fascinating historical periods of architecture, paintings, furniture, design and beautiful historical objects. I can only imagine how intoxicating it must be to study the history of such a Chateau and the lives of nobles who have been in residence. Every room has its own charming splendour; the library is exquisite and the theatre, my goodness, is a jewel par excellence. The variety of roses scent must be wonderful in bloom. It is marvellous that your restoration is so sensitive and in keeping with the period history. This video was delightful and a pleasure to watch. Xxxx
Thank you for you comment dear Laura! Yes, this chateau is wonderful!
I would 💕 to come over to Burgundy France to see Chateau Digione and to meet you monsieur Remilleux, to hear you tell me your stories about the furnishings and architecture.
🥰 very beautiful. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful tour of your beautiful chateau!!!1 Love from Vermont
Gorgeous. I love all the historical nuances and detailed research about the objects and architecture that the presenter/owner has very passionately undertaken and shared with us! Great story about the wolves, par example. The library, the theater, so amazing. But so much to imbibe, it’s very interesting.
Les visites de châteaux c'est pas mon truc .Mais cette visite et ce Mr (avec ces explications)m'ont bien plus).Merci encore cher Mr pour cette vidéo trop net❤
Superbe reportage
You have joy, dedication, and intellect, but not obsession. My supreme compliments to you.
What a marvelous tour of your grand chateau. You are obviously passionate about the place. Merci, mille fois monsieur.
Goodness, absolutely fascinating, this gentleman has a vast knowledge of history and culture. Beautiful restoration of this château.
Excellent history and tour by the owner.
And the chateau is only an accessoire to all the artwork and the sense and knowledge of the man. Impressive.
Thank you for stepping up and taking such good care of this place
This might be the most beautiful one I have seen. Gorgeous!
Thank you so much!🌷
BravO !! You have done a magnificent restoration and it's clear that you love and respect your home. How wonderful it must be to experience the chateau through living there and seeing its many shades and hues through the seasons and bringing to life its historic form and character. One day I hope to visit.
Ce château est magnifique. J'ai hâte d'apprendre ce qui pourrait être le surpris pour l'inauguration du théâtre restauré.
I love this guy!
Hugely fascinating and interesting! And I especially love the library with the excellent woodwork, and the parquet floor! Everything else was very pleasant to behold! I enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful palace and gardens with us!
Fantastique visite, quel château et quel guide ! Votre chaîne est formidable. Je viens seulement de la découvrir et je me régale. Continuez, continuez !
Merci beaucoup! 🙏
OKH MULTUMESC FRUMOS .
So beautiful, both house and gentleman!
bravo !. C de D .. is of exceptional beauty
Magnifique!
Lovely tour. So happy to see this chateau come to life.
What a Dream Chateau yes Sicily is a beautiful place also but very very cold in winterxxx
Je suis subjuguée. Quelle classe !
Mon Dieu ! Quel choc ! Comment vous remercier de la générosité avec laquelle vous nous offrez de découvrir et d’admirer touts les trésors que vous avez rassemblés avec tant de patience et de soins ,tous ces objets d’arts de si haut niveau ,véritables morceaux d’histoire . Quel travail inouï ,que d’efforts ,de patience, d’organisation ,d’intelligence,…de coeur ! Vous avez merveilleusement su faire revivre cet art de vivre à la française qui touche tant nos âmes (encore aujourd’hui) . Que j’espère pouvoir sentir l’odeur des roses de Digoine ..(mais sans pass vaccinal ..tout n’est qu’incertitude ) Je restaure moi-même un château ruiné en 2000 (depuis vingt ans donc ) et suis heureuse de recréer une « atmosphère « même si ce n’est qu’avec des débris,des lambeaux parfois ,quelques beaux éléments…. Mais ,en tout cas , du rêve. Sachez que vous êtes,sans conteste , aussi précieux que vos trésors . Immense merci .
Fascinating Thank you so much👏🇬🇧
I love your chateau, the objects d' art are a lesson in art history, where one can learn about architecture, landscaping, sketches, oil on canvas paintings, fresco's, sculpture's, it's breathtaking! I must come there next spring 2023 if God is willing from Ms Diana LaFleur San Francisco bay area USA
Oh so lovely 🌹
Sublime. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeously decorated, what a gem! Beautiful chateau, thanks for the tour 😊
Really beautiful, congratulations also for your passion!
So Beautiful
Stunning. I do love your Mediterranean garden in the green house!
so incredible, how beautiful
And I thought the National Trust had done a great job on its grand houses in the UK. This work is fantastic. And I remembered my schoolboy French to boot.
Lovely home🌹
Le petit theatre est parfait. J’adore l’olde coleurs et fabriques.
Wonderful-謝謝~♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Eine geschmackvolle Alternative zu IKEA. Ich mag diesen opulenten Stil 👍
Que delicia de Chateaux y qué excelente anfitrión. Tengo ganas de ir y ver ese teatro, cantar ahí! Espero vernos pronto!
Magnifique! ❤
A great collector
merveilleuse visite.bravo
Castello magnifico. Complimenti per il video.
Absolutely fascinating! I loved every minute.
Such a beautiful and airy chateau.
Elegant !
How wonderful
Il y a beaucouo de choses à voir.
Magnifique.
Merci monsieur Remilleux pour la visite de votre très beau château et de ce que vous avez fait avec passion comme tout ce que vous faites . Vraiment bravo pour vos commentaires.
Fort intéressant, à visiter !
The small theater is a equivalent of present day home entertainment room.
Wow!
J’ adore vous chateau c’est magnifique. Would love to visit one day. I have always been fascinated by these old buildings and their history. It was always my dream to buy one-a pipe dream. I hope to come back to France and visit some of these beautiful chateaux.
Just watching this I found myself googling people and items. There is tremendous granduer and history. Not fond of naturalized animals or war but it is past history, however I would not want either being venerated in my dwelling. The gardens, views and greenhouse all are incredible. I would love to visit sometime.
Magnifique
Bellissimo castello con opere eccezionali...
Mirabilis visus.
Manifique indeed⛲️🏰🏛
Thank you. The owner is so informative. Miss or Mr. Camera person, please try to give your view an overview of the artworks in situ. For example, i would have love to see the scale of the Lady of Chambrillant's portrait with a distance view or an entire view of the the interior of that gorgeous theater. Thank you in advance.
Hi, thank you for your comment. Not always easy to catch everything in the right way. We had a couple of hours to shoot the entire video. Did our best. Will try to do better next time ;)
Les agradecería que activen los subtítulos en español. Les sugiero que en los videos muestran más las habitaciones y sus detalles, que el primer plano del relator.

Dommage que tu n'aies pas montré la chapelle néo-gothique, j'aimerais bien la voir.
😍
I have one chair… they have plenty of possibilities to just sit down
O Chateau, apesar de, relativamente, "novo" e "pequeno" é bonito e muito bem localizado numa linda área, com um simples, mas belissimo, em torno. Infelizmente, a necessidade real de mostrar as inúmeras obras de arte, não permitiu ver e sentir o peso da real decoração de época. A filmagem, apesar de boa, concentrou-se demais, na figura do nobre apresentador, impedindo-nos de sentir a real dimensão de cada sala ou ambiente, em seu conjunto. A meu ver, as cúpulas das torres laterais são exageradas em tamanho e deselegantes, assim como o mobiliário do hall principal, que nos remete à uma grande sala de banho (como era de se esperar, pela origem declarada das peças originais que, aqui, copia). Não se pode deixar de comentar o simpático teatro e seu, raro, estado de originalidade, para mim, o ponto alto do que foi apresentado. Por isso tudo, valeu por essa visita e merece uma futura visita presencial.
🤣 como e q um pais tao pequenino...
Two faces, like some people have. 🤔🤗
How famous is this guy? Is he big in France?
Non, il n est pas connu
🥰
