I'm curious about your education and ancestry. You're very articulate - easy to listen to. Enjoyable. Looking forward to future posts.
Sadly one does not have the time to register, however, the evidence of the German language newspapers you have presented are not enough to say, as established fact, that the Germans occupied Purnon during the war. For example, we found German WW1 papers in our own château grounds in Normandy, but no other proof that the Germans were ever there, and history agrees. Your newspapers could have been brought into the château from anywhere across France, even long after the war. So I would like to know why you believe the Germans were at Purnon during this period? What other proofs do you have to say they were there? Written records? Artefacts? Word of mouth or rumour? Thank you. Vive le Australiens!
Hello, as a french guy, i'm so glad to see people from all around the globe coming here with their passion, to restorate our old and forgoten castles. Thank you !
Credit to the person doing the camera work on this excellent video.
What a great tour guide! He presented the fascinating history of the place like a pro and kept it at an attention-holding pace.
Agreed. Real passion.
Thanks for buying this. It needs to be preserved. 👍
Oh, you lucky ducks! What a gem!!!!! Thank you for bringing her back. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
I follow their vlog and can attest that they are dedicated to carefully preserving this château with the utmost respect for its history and French cultural importance. Charming couple too!
Thank you so much for your kind words and support!
Tim and Felicity, you have a monumental task ahead. Bon courage! Tim, what a wonderful tour and history lesson of Château Purnon.
Thank you!
What heaven, and thank you so much for caring for it all.
This is by far the best tour I've seen on any chateau. So informative and interesting.
Thank you so much
I found Tim’s knowledge and enthusiasm contagious. What a wonderful thing you and Felicity are doing. Julien
Tim certainly is a tour guide extraordinaire! Great episode
Thank you. for showing us this beautiful home and all the history behind it.
I am so in awe of you and Felicity. This place is just amazing! I can't wait to see you both finish the chapel for you to be married. What a fantastic opportunity and a fabulous home. Much love and light from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺
Thank you so much!
This guy knows his stuff. It’s in good hands
Wow this is a dream of mine. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through this video. 🙏🏽
What you do IS admirable! Thanks a lot to make again Alive a Big part of our french past!
Thank you for taking care of these beautiful historical pearls. Enjoy!
So grateful you are restoring and renovating this gem of a chateau and doing it with thought and precision.
When I see scaffolding around historic buildings, it warms me. It means the building will get much needed TLC by professionals. If I could, that's how I'd proceed with such special edifices. Congratulations on your acquisition. Vive la France.
Now there was 25 minutes of French history as shared by a knowledgeable that was well worth it. Thanks so much for this tour. Bravo on what you have accomplished and your planned future.
These restoration projects on those huge buildings /chateau gives me the courage to restore my modest home in Ghent ,Belgium ! You're enthousiasme really is contagious !

Ohhhh, looking forward to an Aussie with a chateau.
Very nice. Best of luck to you. I wanted one when I was young but I am thankful now that I never did it after watching what people have to go through. I hope that all goes well for you.
Same here, but I'm too lazy now
I always thot that as well, secret panels, sweeping staircases, sweeping lawns....it is a lot less tiring to see it done...rather than do it... Bless your efforts!!
What an ideal chaperone for the chateau. A brilliant communicator.
Tim is so interesting and château Purnon is so very grand. So glad that Purnon will have a wonderful future. The restoration is simply fascinating.

Thank you so much
I’m five mins in and I’m already hooked! 😀 I love roses and in the first five mins you said that the chateau was owned in the 18th C by Marquise de l’Hay. Is this the same person or family that built Roserie de L’Haÿ, the famous rose garden in Paris?
I love your passion. I am delighted for you.
