I visited Chateau de Sarzay in June, of 2022 while staying at Chateau de la Lande. The medieval fortress was spectacular! Mr. Hurbain was a one of a kind gentleman and incredibly knowledgeable. I would absolutely recommend a visit if you ever find yourself in this region of France.
Oh I just commented before seeing your comment how this chateau would be the perfect place for Stephanie and Philip to feature on their channel as its so close by, and such an inspiration.
@@ludovica8221 Hello, it was Natti who said we should visit. At the time there was a medieval market on the grounds too and of course we had to buy things. 😃
Priceless. The right man discovered this gem.
Thank you dear kind sir for sharing your fine castle and work with the world !!
I love how meaningful is this story - lots of work. 💙
Thank you for the translation in English. Good video 👍
Thk you for saving this stunning castle. Love it the way it is, back in time as it should be. Can't wait to see what your sons do. Your an outstanding gentleman. USA Fl
This man had a love and dedication to this dream. Good on you sir, much respect
That’s incredible! What amazing work he has done. He is truly the savior of this wonderful monument. Love the furniture too. Wow!
Thank you for saving this amazing architecture.
The family that lived there for 4 centuries: all the ups and downs, the romances, the un-requitted loves, the family drama, the beautiful days, the hopes and dreams. All gone and forgotten.
This guy is a French treasure! Love his devotion to the castle. Only in France.
The Hard work paid off the Chataeux is fabulous. Joan De Arc statue is beautiful & being the caretakeer of her lost sword!
It's beautiful. St. Joan of Arc, pray for us.
Somebody really loved towers!
Thank you so much for this wonderful look into Mr. Hurbain's labors over the past 40 yrs. I wish others could see the caring and love that was shown, as I have, toward this Castle Tower cluster. I will say that the one part of this tour that really floored me was the timber joinery work that was shown, especially in the top of the towers on the roofs. Puts a big lump in my throat to think that not many people think of the old buildings and the worth they still can have. Again thank you very much. -----Mike W
Bravo toi, et bonjour de la Californie ☀️🌴
This is extraordinary, thanks for caring and sharing
Какая грандиозная работа проделана. Спасибо, что сохраняете этот чудесный замок.
I am in total bliss seeing this , such dedication devotion and love for this building by this man and his family . Bravo
Wow! What a great journey you had!! Just soo beautifully done!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!!
Such a huge undertaking..good for you for seeing and restoring this chateau's importance and beauty.
Just wonderfully presented by a dear person. Most interesting and admiral, thank you.
this is superb ! the fortress looks like it must have been 500 or more years ago, and the furniture is old as well, how much nicer than the richly decorated castles. I by far prefer this authentic restauration ! Poor man, no help from the governement, must be reserved for the rich and famous as always!
Wow this is an AMAZING place! just think how it could look with a few gallons of beeswax polish, linseed oil etc to better preserve all that incredible woodwork and furniture, This is about 20 minutes north of @TheChateauDiaries Have they visited here yet? They would love it so much, and I am sure their audience would love to see this place too
They were the ones to recommend it to us when we were there.
So much dedication and love have restored the fabulous part of history. Thank you for saving this wonderful castle ❤️
Love historical castle,tower,.art history,high school sertifical,this for very interesting for me❤❤❤from Istanbul.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful castle with us. I am always amazed at the woodwork in the attics. Just incredible. You have done amazing work to save this beauty for future generations.
Thank you for caring and doing the meticulous work to preserve this Chateau. We are fast losing so many of our wonderful elder folks who know and have loved so many of the most beautiful structures all around the world. The grand homes, the castles and the people who lived these more gallant and noble times, are steadily passing away with their secrets and knowledge. Without men like you to care so deeply it would be lost forever. The young generations coming up would never be able to walk in them, feel and see the beauty. ❤ Thank you for caring and doing!
They do not make them as they once did, the castles or the men. I'm so glad this amazing piece of history fell into the stewardship of this amazing man.
Absolutely Magnificent and all inspiring. While I love to hear people talking in French, Thank you for narrating in English whag the gentleman says. French architecture is my favorite, French chateaus are magical
Hope this place is used in films, that will help with the cost of restoring for posterity .
Yes. Even if it's just for backdrop, it will bring it to the public. Those tower beams are breathtaking. Our ancestors were brilliant.
Amazing , outstanding place . And even more amazing owner . Ty for showing us your treasure , Sir . Another thx for English translation !
Amazing restoration!
It's absolutely amazing. What a lifelong labor of love.
What a credit to you Sir 😊 🏰
AMAZING it's Beautiful ❤❤❤
Wow simply awsome❤
You may need these fortifications soon...
This probably needs much more budget and knowledgeable hands to really be restored.
Maybe more budget but his hands sure do seem very knowledgeable to me

There are worrying structural cracks both in the interior and exterior. I hope he does something to fix them soon.
Why is true that the book is delayed from 14 Februari to 14 March? I really want the book and already pre-ordered it, why is it delayed?
Some of the translations are rather 😂.
Your comment is childish. As a supposedly intelligent adult, that's all that you could think of in your brain to comment about this? Nothing about the magnificent French architecture?
Cool bro I just discovered you.👍
Just. Aswesome. 💜🧡💖🩷✝️. 🇫🇷. ❤️
