I love her statement:” you do not own a chateau. A chateau owns you”. This is such a beautiful property. She gave a wonderful tour. Kudos!!
It takes life time of investments of money and time in restoration and repair u trapped for life if u take one of those mansions but might be fun hobby for rich ppl for everyone else is hard work 24/7 ...
Just wow! She speaks English more fluently and elegantly than I ever will and I'm a native English speaker! Good for her! What an enlightened and intelligent person. Inspiring also. Hope to visit one day.
Never down yourself-you are better that that🎉
What a fantastic vision may all your dreams for this chateau come true
She is kind, humble, and also very passionate about the huge project within de Chateau. People should be like her, humble, creative, full of passion, and kind. Congrats
Oh this is beautiful and inspiring… always follow your dreams, allow them to come to being in better ways than you can imagine! Stay with joy as you travel the way towards your dreams.
Absolutely LOVED this young woman, her passion for the Chateau and the land and forging a bridge beween past and present to give Chateau Fey a new life. An informative and educational tour, given in an organic, interesting delivery. Wish my French was as good as her English. Bravo!
What a challenge you have taken on! At a great age too! I remember, from years ago, a professor had dinner parties at his home in Paris. It attracted a large volume of people who were interested in meeting Americans living in France and who were interested in meeting others.
A labor of love! Very inviting and tastefully done for the 21st century....Congratulations!❤
absolument magnifique votre chateau très bien entretenu et superbement meublé félicitations
You have a perfect sense of form and balance…
An absolute treasure. I congratulate you for being the perfect guardian of such a beautiful chateau. The ambiance being created and the continued preservation of the original characteristics is a gift to us all. You have conserved a piece of magic, thank you.
I'm glad I decided to watch your video and it was very refreshing to listen to a french lady speak English plus educating to me as a non-french person who knows little french,but is keen to learn.Very informative thank you.
Courage à cette personne qui sauve une belle maison avec si peu de moyens.
Thank you So Chateaux TV, this tour was a treat and a pleasure to watch. Jessica your energy and knowledge are simply fantastic. Thank you for all your hard work. Well done!
Thank you for your comment and for watching. And yes, Jessica's energy is second to none!
Outstanding program, by a very captivating speaker. Cheers...
Magnifique!
Hi 👋, Great words spoken by a well educated young female, she has put the time and effort into finding whatever she could all about the properties dating back to the 16th century, the place looks amazing, very well restored keeping the elegance of the property, I have helped restore and worked on a lot smaller properties back in the Uk , I now live in the Correze Region of France , in a moulin , saying this, I wished I was back at work, This amazing project, I wish you all the success for the future, Phil from the moulin,
An amazing history. May it last and prosper within a landscape of that allows future generations to prosper and old ways of knowing and being to live another day.
Thank you! You have done a wonderful presentation and tour of Chateau de Fey. Very interesting. Wishing you all the best on your adventure. I would love to visit sometime.
I LOVE the fact that she owns a beautiful French Chateau and she didn't bother to cut the threads off the vent of her jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this channel is... woow! Not just the walls, people even more. Thx So!
Wow, such an inspirational episode. Her enthusiasm got me all fired up and I listened to every single message she was sharing. The art of living sums it up correctly, from the arts to food to sustainability and likeminded spirits. I am actually in the process of buying a chateau In Normandy and instead of using it just for us to retire in parttime I would like to broaden that. So I’m taking notes 📝, thank you ever so much for this gem of a lady on today’s episode 💎
Thank you for watching! Glad you appreciate this episode. See you on the next one!
I love the "Juia Child" kitchen. I'd spend most of my time there. It's quaint and has excellent light.
Truly an exceptional place. Beautiful.
What i love love so much is that history you have keep in this beautiful property ,but the forward thinking you have going into the future as well you have the best planning and your Chateau will survive for 100’s of years because of your working plan past , present and the future brilliant!! Thank you for sharing such a master plan . May your future be long and fulfilling 👏👏👏♥️♥️🙏🥰🥂💐🇨🇦
Wow! Congratulations, best wishes ❤
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story and may are the future events that you are blessed ❤to
Very lovely tour and storytelling in such beautiful chateau and its history. Jessica surely is a great host in this video, and it reflects the warm hospitality the chateau surely provides. Thank you for sharing your home.
Absolutely wonderful.
I love that you have such a beautiful forest ❤️ we need trees 🌳
Well done. You have done a great job of explaining all there is to know about your chateau, right from the beginning. You’ve done it in a way that is easy to understand and everything you’ve had to say flows beautifully.
What a project!! You are amazing for taking it on and giving it a new life!! ❤
Really wonderful to watch the tour of such a beautiful chateau. Jessica's passion and enthusiasm are also wonderful. So interesting to hear about the use of the chateau and the projects for the future. Thank you.
Thank you
❤ This was a fabulous tour. I feel like I've seen this one before with the story of what she's done with it. Another quick interview. But this was lovely looking both at the Chateau itself as well as the story it's wrapped up in. Love all the information. Given with heart and not a sense of elitism. Most Chatelain are focused on the collection of historical furniture and lineage, which is only really interesting for those who find politics of any use. I'm far more interested in the feel and heritage of how the past relates to those who are living in it now. She's definitely the correct person for this chateau.
I look forward to visiting in the near future!
An amazing project!!! Congratulations!
What a beautiful woman!!!
trés chaleureux , le chateau et la propriétaire
Wow, beautiful home 🏡 it is fabulous. And you are fabulous as well. 😊
Loved the tour!
I love your vision. I hope I can visit one day and stay for a month. ❤
Beautiful Chatueau ❤️ Wonderful continual possibilities. And an Incredible & Brave owner ❤ Please reach out to other Chatueau's of which there are many whom will be more than willing to help & celebrate such a Wonderful place ❤️
Truly inspirational and outstanding.
Very very nice chateau
Small kitchen is my dream ❤

I absolutely love Chateau du Fey; Jessica is a lovely and knowledgeable young lady. I enjoyed her tour and her Chateau. Congratulations Jessica, for having the courage, at such a young age to tackle something of this magnitude, and to making your dream possible. I wish you the best of luck and continued success.
Thank you❤ visionaries, mindset and confidence, well presented with eloquence😊 " the mind has created this world " Buddha
Outstanding young woman with aspirations, lovely chateaux and surroundings.
It looks absolutely amazing what you've achieved . It's very refreshing to see all the possibilities of keeping these beautiful and historic buildings relevant and vibrant.
💟😇Super video
Beyond Dreams... Fascinating space, projects, community and sinergy for living a dream and co_create a wonderful future opening up so many radiant possibilities. Awesome!!! Congratulations!! I would love to contribute ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
una maravilla de persona, tener la motivacion de restaurar un castillo es un milagro , el costo es enorme ( mi familia tiene un pequeño castillo ) asi que es en si una aventura de por vida , tambien me encanto que la restauracion no fue profundo , por ejempo las cocinas en su estado original , bellismo , asi como el papel tapiz en las paredes etc, nuevamente felicidades , saludos desde mexico
Très impressionnante jeune femme volontaire, déterminée, lucide, et pleine de rêves qu’elle a à cœur de réaliser et qu’elle réalise déjà grâce à son enthousiasme, son intelligence, sa foi en l’homme et sa capacité à rassembler ceux qui veulent œuvrer pour l’avenir en incluant les richesses et le respect du passé. Bravo à cette personnalité vibrante de projets !
Love the mix of old & new all over your Chateaux! It works & combines many elements of daily life. You made it your own! Kudos to you! Well Done! Across the pond learned many parts of wine making from France but Thx for mentioning those across the pond as its an ongoing process!
우연히 알고리즘에 떠서 보게됬는데 성이 너무 멋지네요😮
Wow would love to visit one day ❤
Merci beaucoup!!
Bravo ❤🎉
Superb!Hi from Transilvania!❤❤❤
No local onde tem a roda e a base de pedra são colocadas as azeitonas. Assim, as azeitonas são prensadas e o oleo cai em um tipo de peneira em formato de cesto. O produto final é o azeite. Maravilhoso!
Sounds / look like an amazing project. How did you find / earn / win the money to buy the Chateau in the 1st place?
I love her She like me, you tell me no and I take that as I'll show you.⚜️🗼👑
Love the house and love the concept!
How do you keep it warm during the winter?
Well done Jessica! Wonderful chateau and wonderful concepts 😊
Yes , a château owns you for many generations....
It looks like the Chateau Lalande.
Finally. Someone from France that speak proper English. She says "the" instead of "Ze". Joke apart, Awesome video. !
The loviest thing. Who will clean it?
🤍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I like to use the word Chateau En Gigogne.
That would be my dream if i won lotto
It's very interesting but I can't listen for 30 mins...
tout ce que je déteste ... et davantage encore le propos mondialiste de cette jeune propriétaire, qui cependant contribue à conserver ce splendide patrimoine !
🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
It's in good shape and she is to be commended for the good state of the buildings. But the furnishings are far too modern. Chateaux are meant to be furnished in traditional taste. To furnish them in a modern way is to do them a disservice. Perhaps she can transition the furniture into something more appropriate as time goes on.
That ugly modern furniture is so inappropriate in that house!
Love the style where modern furniture meets French….🇦🇺🦘🏄🏖️⛱️
