There are 45,000 castles in France, unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to renovate and maintain such a large number of properties. Thank you so much for coming to France to help us preserve this heritage.
At last. Less emotion, drama and pseudo show business than the postings from other chateau owners. So thanks for an intelligent, interesting and educational experience. A well worthwhile watch.
Yes, Chateau de Gudanes in the Pyrenees is a case in point. After five years still no restoration of the facade but plenty of gushing about the chabby chique crumbling interior. All by rich trendy people who think its all so elegant in its decaying state.
I know how much it costs to save a minor chateau. This is a national treasure chateau! Big difference! Many were big plantation houses, French style with farms that supported them. Then there are chateaus like yours. Ultra rich people’s homes. I would never attempted such a project as I have close friends who divorced over way smaller Reno’s. I hope through the government and grants you will get the money you need, over time, off course to save this “Real” chateau. I admire you being able to break it into smaller bites. That in itself is a talent! I won’t live long enough I’m afraid to see it finished. But I wish you all the very best!
Thank you for your message. We are very grateful for the support we have received from the French Government so far. We'll try and preserve our relationship as well as the Chateau!!
I would have had my doubts about this place, but with the French historical architectural grants behind you, anything becomes possible! It is still a monumental task! You are well on your way! I hope you are able to save the 💒 chapel! The place is magnificent! Cheers! Thomas!
we hope so too - it is a true jewel of Purnon
video so very interesting but 'well on the way'? does not sound like it. a shame too much ruin in the bldgs on this property. Whoever voted to allow this as a historic site must have been bribed by all the contractors who will charge a fortune to line their pockets next 100 years.
@@ehayes7849 il y a beaucoup de ruines dans le monde. Et en France aussi , et qui ont ressuscitées, grâce au courage et à l' amour des belles choses. Tu ne t' imagine pas ce que de bons maçons, charpentiers et architectes du patrimoine , peuvent faire. Les monuments historiques en France ne sont pas des voyous . Peut-être crois tu que ces tricheries dans ton pays , existe partout ??? Pauvre homme... triste homme... homme?
With consistency, love & dedication it will get done. It will take a colossal amount of money to maintain it, but with the restoration at least the next holders/residents (we all residents in this thing called life...here for a "short" while & to the earth we return) will be getting it in great restored condition.
That wonderful garment can be restores and saved. Victoria and Albert museum is an expert in restoring and saving historic and important clothes - from grand 18th century dresses to David Bowie's stage clothes. They are amazing.
I am guessing that the roof alone will be a million dollars. But that is the first, most important, most critical step to everything that follows. 🇦🇺🌹 The fact that the grande allée has remained, that alone is amazing, it has not been divided into farms etc. Incredible.
we are very fortunate that the view has been well protected - it is an incredible feature of the property
Followed by the basement. And the windows.
The old saying ..how you do one thing is how you do everything.. you guys give such a beautifully presented update … measured , calm , detailed, precise. You are going to do a magnificent job with this spectacular château! I look forward to joining you on the journey . 🇦🇺
thank you so much for your lovely comment
Your filming is top notch and we love seeing straight forward commentary without drama. Very refreshing and informative! Cudos
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled that you're following our journey!
The garment ... emotional 🤍 ... as are the letters. Imagine a global effort to restore our collective past - these precious buildings and ruins. Transformation and healing comes of it. Such a different pathway to politics (I had to say it - Australian here - however moving to Europe too). Your story here, accentuated by your beautiful choice of music, is so touching. Yes your lives are the restoration - ongoing - and I would too. The idea of passing on is comforting - to family, community and France. A legacy. I hope to secure two properties in Slovenia that will need restoration. I watch you, and others, with much respect. Of course I look forward to visiting in the not too distant future. Purnon is so fortunate that you found her.
thank you so much for your lovely feedback
@ ... I just added to my comment. Jumped in on the video as couldn't wait till the end to comment on the garment. It is Purnon - fragile, beautiful, feminine, strong and everlasting. Thank you.
So, you need labour's. I know a few veterans who could be taken off the streets of the country near their. They only look for a roof over their head and some simple work. What a way to renovate a gardeners house and save a vet. Think about it. Good for both. I can't wait to see what is next. Great work so far at conversation and restoration.
She is a beautiful old grande dame! But the work……….OMG! This is a lifetime project. I pray you continue to get state funding to save her. The countryside is breathtaking 💕. Keep her dry
Thank you so much!
Wow the tree foliage is spectacular in the aerial shot .
The outbuildings could be renovated first and turned in guest cottages that people could rent for the weekend, thus generating some income for the renovation of the main house. The remnants of wallpaper and fabric could be also a source of revenue, their designs could be licensed and reproductions could be manufactured and sold under the license agreement to designers or directly to the public.
You two are very well spoken hosts and seem like the perfect caretakers of such incredibly beautiful property.
Thank you for this updated summary!
I just found your channel and enjoyed the video immensely. Excellent narratives, videography and music. I will be going back to see all the videos I've missed. Will like and subscribe and praying for a huge success in your restoration. Blessings from Timmy in Texas, USA
Your videos are so well done and professional!
Love your presence at this Chateau! The Chateau is blessed by you.
You two certainly have what it takes to oversee this huge restoration. I live on the Gold Coast & love watching a few chateau channels. Wonderful & keep going Tim & Flick & Truffles.
Fantastic. Thank you for preserving this jewel of the past.
This is such an interesting channel. Thank you for the history.
quel plaisir de regarder le reportage sur TF1!!! vous méritez tellement que l'on admire votre travail incroyable
I couldn't help but think how much work is ahead of you: it does seem insurmountable. Your restoration so far is very beautiful.
Truly a Noble Endeavor. Bravo. Magnifique. Merci!
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing ❤
Would love to stay near the estate in glamping tent and support you guys financially through. Also guests in these glamping tents could perhaps somehow volunteer their time of their stay do something helpful in the premises (that does not perhaps require high levels of expertise, but requires hands/time)
You two are incredible, such passion and dedication. I love your narrative, great channel, so informative.
Enjoyed. I am looking forward to spring so I can be outside .
I loved this video! Thank you, wonderful!
Great, professional, informative!
I love the updates. This is one of my very favourite chateaus, I do wish we could see you and the grand lady on a more regular basis. How I adore that the chapel and horse stables in the same building. So intriguing
I admire your perseverance and wish you continued success in the restoration of your lovely Chateau de Purnon. It is truly breathtaking even in its present state. Really enjoying your channel and looking forward to piggy backing along on this journey…watching from PA, USA.
Beautiful place and I think you’ve got a very big and realistic viewpoint on the property and what’s ahead of you. I wish you the very best of luck
A Beautiful place, your heroes saving it. very exciting to see the changes
Awesome story - love the passion. Given the location and time period - seems like the music of Chopin is a must.
This will be a labor of love for the rest of your lives! She's so fortunate to have you both as her caretakers! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to saving her! ❤
What a treasure trove you have! I love the stories you are sharing. Water dogs are possibly my fav breed.
Hello from Nashville, Tennessee! Pernon has beautiful design to her layout. The shape of your chateau is beautifully elegant! What a show place you will have someday. I commend your work to save this building. It’s so wonderful and I wish I could help. Best of luck to you and I can’t wait to see more of your lovely home! Happy Holidays!
its so inspiring to see you with real life meaning and goals ! - congrats. Hello from Switzerland
You have experience in documentary or film making….. your approach is the best I’ve seen in the chateau vlog milieux. Very enjoyable.
A fascinating collection of You Tube vids...history is fascinating. Thank you for all the research.
Those letters ! An extraordinary hidden treasure trove, love this journey you’re on 🇦🇺
Just like to say that you both deliver a very clear and professional presentation.We find your videos very interesting😃Great to see some folk from down under taking on such a renovation😉
The minute I saw the staging and roofwork, I was hooked. This will be a first class restoration, not _lipstick on a pig._ Can't wait to see more! The _joinery_ up in the attic is most interesting. Love that sort of thing.
What a huge undertaking. Bless you for saving this beautiful chateau. Wishing you much success 😍😘
Outstanding presentation on the connection between Château de Purnon and FOUR wars of the 19th and 20th centuries! You covered four wars! I especially appreciated your digging into the First World War. Many people would have stopped their research with, "The front was hundreds of miles away, so no impact," but Tim dug deep and learned about the military service of the son of the Marquis. The story about the war in Indochina was fascinating and eloquently described, the German newspapers from the summer of 1940 were extremely cool, and the story about the court martial of the soldier from the Franco-Prussian War will delight visitors to the Château for decades to come! Thank you for this information.
I love the chapel. Hard to believe the stables are attached to it. Love the oak stair case The more videos can earn some renovation cost albeit not much...
we are completely in love with the Chapel also - it really is one of the jewels of Purnon
Getting sponsors is usually how KZheadrs can make a good amount of money, as well.
You should have the suitable oak trees logged and rough cut for the future use. It will take a couple years for them to season (air dry) so they can be used in the restorations to come. Stone walls can be restored enough to keep them from failing. Many many holes in the dice that need fingers to stop the leaks I'm sure. I admire your commitment and support you.
bonjour depuis le XVII eme siecle, la france a créee des grandes forets de chenes pour les bateaux de guerre, et ces forets maintenant sont gérées par l' Office National des Forets, qui gere et exploite 33% du territoire francais. La france, deuxieme producteur mondial de chenes...donc tout est prévu d' avance...voir notre dame 2000 chenes abattus...
Beautiful places. Thank you for saving this magical places. God luck xxx🎉
Wow, what a beautiful Chateau, also a great explanational progress and history finds......good luck to you both in the future.. ❤
Thanks for the explanations and good documentation.
All the chateau owners do a brilliant job. This project is so exciting because of the professionalism engaged in its restoration. Each owner has a unique way of inviting us to love their dream. As it should be.
Thank you for following our journey... you're quite right, each chateau and their custodians has a different path. For us, at Chateau de Purnon, it's all about heritage preservation and restoration. We want to celebrate the incredible skills and expertise of the amazing team that we are fortunate to work with as we save this special place.
I agree. Each has their appropriate audience. Its all good.
A wonderful !interesting and informative vlog. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful chateau and its history with us. 🇦🇺
GRAND MERCI POUR LA TRADUCTION AU FRANCAIS .Magnifique chateau bravo cher passionnés !
A beautiful Chateau. She is blessed to have owners who are working so hard to restore and save her. Good luck with all the works. Enjoy the process.
What an amazing opportunity to retain some vitally important history - we are just caretakers but hopefully leave these historic gems in a better state than we find them. Keep it up!
Love these two Aussies and their passion and knowledge and great heart for this wonderful place❤ and best of all your gorgeous doggy! My last beloved dog Sweetheart was same breed and the most loving companion and she loved water! All the best with your future and Thankyou for this wonderful video too, cheers from another Aussie in Gippsland Victoria 😘🐾
Loving the transparency. Very motivating. Plus great Oz accents are always a delight.
thank you so much
I love how you both have your definite plans...so essential to keeping your sanity with thousands of jobs to do you know your priorities. Brilliant!
This was an excellent video!
thank you so much!
@ долой капитализм!!!🚩
Thank you . She is just fantastic
G'day. That was great!. I have great admiration for you both, in the task you have chosen, that you know it will cost a relative fortune, and that you will, likely never see the end. And also think it's such a pity, it seems to be usually left to foreigners to save the heritage of La France. I can imagine the fun you are are going to have in doing it, the things you will learn, and beauty you will behold as each part comes back together. Slightly envious, although i'm happy having a smaller project, in France, much more modest, that i will see the end of. Looking forward to a visit at some point.
So delighted you aim for Louis XVI style throughout the whole chateau (minus one salon). This happens to be my absolute favourite style❤❤❤
So beautiful is your chateau. You must frame some of those very special letters, they would look wonderful. Wishing you so much luck with the renovations!!
This is THE best chateau channel. Chateau de Purnon is sublime and you are doing such a beautiful job of respecting and honoring her grace and beauty. Your videos are a pleasure to watch - informative, straightforward, heartfelt and much like the style of the chateau... harmonious and peaceful. This video is such a great one with a realistic perspective of what these projects require, i.e. patience, perseverance, the long view and a lot of money and time. Thank you for showing us your journey, in all its honest depth and breadth.
Thanks again for sharing your lives at Purnon, love all the history and the passion you both have to restore this amazing building look fwd to see more of you both and M. Truffe so cute and gentle dog❤❤
Our pleasure!
What a wonderful chateau! It reminds me of Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, although not to the same scale, de Purnon is still very impressive and I love the allee and the symmetry. I have subscribed and will start from the beginning episodes tomorrow.
You always make such nice videos. Thank you for being so candid. Best to you both on your journey.
Thank you! You too!
As a fashion historian i was thrilled to see the fragile garment you found in the fabric room and evem though i didn´t see it first hand i can already tell how old it is :D the shape of the sleeves, the waist form and the long down dropping shoulder line indicate that it was made between 1840 - 1860. worn over a bell shaped gown with a full skirt over several layers of starched petticoats if not a crinoline hoop skirt (but these came late in 1856 - 1869ish) ... the lady might have combined it with a spoon bonnet and a silk parasol. if you google ladies fashion of the time I´m sure you will come across some fabulous fashion plates in which you can find similar garments. (here is a thought: take it to a tailor and ask to make a copy of the pattern - tailors can craft you a wearable replica for display or special occasions 🤩)
Yes! Late 1860s, I think. It looks like a bodice and over-skirt which would have had a coordinating underskirt worn over a crinoline and/or early bustle. I collect 1850s-1860s clothing, so this was especially exciting to see!
Wow, Tim & Flic, what a monumental task! I salute you! Well done! Rikki Biermann, Pretoria,, South Africa 🇿🇦
Well done both of you I admire you both I 'm in my 80s and belong to society that is restoring a historic swing bridge in NewZealand to let boats through that is exciting. I truly wish you both all the best and will be watching your progress.🎩
Enhorabuena por la compra de este magnifico castillo. Es maravillosos lo que estáis haciendo. Seria bonito verlo acabado y poder visitarlo alguna vez. Seguid así y la historia de este castillo perdurara sobre los años y los siglos pasados y futuros. Un saludo.
Always enjoy your progress and openness. Are you climatizing the two rooms you restored? Condensation from temperature changes can do a job on fabrics in bedroom and metal finishes in bathroom. Anticipating your next video.
Thanks for taking the time to make this vlog. It was very informative & interesting.
our pleasure - thank you for watching
Your dog is so cute 😊 Great work you are doing, best of luck with future renovations. I deeply admire people who put effort to protect heritage by preserving original architectural design which embodies cultural and historic importance of this property. Hope we all will contribute to the successful restoration of the Purnon. Regards from Montenegro 🇲🇪
Fascinating!!! I wish there were more detailed footage of the actual rebuilding works. I am sure there is no shortage of drama.
Fantastic building and setting. The red tree is amazing. Heating, geothermal linked to oversized cast iron rads? Use the land or boreholes. Wood pellet boilers. Supplemented by wood burning stoves. Could see the farmhouse fully restored. Lime plastered rustic. Tomettes re-laid. Love old buildings. Great that you are preserving history.
Amazing! Thank you so much for restoring and all the information. I love so much!
Thank you! We're thrilled you're enjoying our adventure.
merci merci merci .on a beaucoup de chance en france d avoir des personnes comme vous qui aident à sauver le patrimoine .on devrait vous décorer
Having done a few builds in Australia and with Habitat for Humanity in Europe and Honduras and some renovations, it seems a staggeringly mammoth, no gargantuan task you have set yourselves. But what an admirable goal and fabulous lifetime achievement. The sympathy and tenderness you are conducting this project with is quite extraordinary. The Frogs will love you for it too! Bravo!
We hope you enjoy the videos of our adventure so far!
This is a lifetime commitment. The work you have done so far is wonderful. I know you all will do a fantastic job and do it justice. Huge undertaking ❤ As far as how long and how much it will cost to finish..you can pretty well bet it will cost 3 times as much and take twice as long as you may predict. Thats been my experience lol.
Thank you so much for doing this Q&A, it is so interesting and this chateau certainly has the right owners taking care of her. Your work ethics and ideas are exciting and I wish you all the best getting things going. I think that getting the pool repaired was brilliant as one needs a place to relax and cool off in the summer months; this was the perfect spot and location for you...well done! I am looking forward to this amazing adventure and thank you for letting us join you. Thank you!
thank you so much Jane
Just a suggestion but when you handle the fabrics you should wear cotton gloves. This will keep the acids from your skin deteriorating the material.
Thanks for sharing the bits of information.I was interested in hearing more and you've provided enough to pique more curiosity. Cheers-
pleasure
I watch quite a few chateau channels and I think yours is the most incredible! Thank you for the q&a. I enjoyed learning more about her. I just wish we could see her more.
I just have one question. If you live there but have only restored two rooms, is the kitchen restored or usable until you can do it? Have you shown what it looks like in a previous video?
@@kimberlyearly8918 I have not watched any of the other videos so I am not sure. I have a place that I am restoring and sometimes a good portion of a place might not be up to snuff but good enough to live in. It maybe actually better than what other are accustom too. As long as it doesn't have black mold, rats, and bees nests you might overlook a crack in some window glass or doors that don't close. Chateau de Purnon is so beautiful that I could put up with a great deal of dust just to spend a couple nights there. The stories they will have over the next 15 years will be worth putting up with the faded wallpaper and cracked plaster. I'm in the process of restoring a much smaller house for sure. When I remodeled my kitchen I used a hot plate, microwave, and a toaster oven. The most important room is a bathroom. As long as you got hot water and the tub, sink and toilet are not gross it is not a big deal. An old ball claw iron tube is nice, and a funky old sink is fine as long as you don't have separate down spots in the sink.
Merci beaucoup c'etait vraiment intéressant !!
Even with all the work to do the Chateau de Purnon takes my breath away. What it was, in my mind, and what will be, is overwhelmingly stunning and doesn’t seem real but a fantasy. I know it and all the exhausting work is very real to you both! Thank you for including us in the journey ❤. I live in the US and would love to see it someday.
Thank you for your comment and your interest in our journey. We are thrilled to share our adventure with people from around the world. If you travel to France from time to time, we are are always open for the weekend of Les Journees du patrimoine (Heritage Open Days) in September. This is a wonderful time to visit. We open as much of the chateau as possible, the weather is normally good, the grounds are carefully prepared and there are many activities and displays by our craftsmen, local bakers etc.
Saving every structure that can be must be done. The chappell and stables are very important . Most amazing chateau ive seen yet. Chateau de Purnon how lucky you found her. A magnificent historical place . Leaves one speecless
Hello to both you lovelies & also to your gorgeous furry kid. Not many would have the courage to take this huge step forward, to simply follow one’s dream. Thankfully you both decided to go ahead & oh my … what a dream come true. From the very beginning when your keys were handed over I could already imagine how unique your chateau would eventually look. The glow in your eyes reveal to me that we have so much to look forward to. With your intellect, positive energy & stamina to move forward I’m looking forward to continuing your journey. The one thing this chateau has that makes it all so worthwhile is the love of life that reflects in each room wether it is finished or not, you don’t need much of a imagination to see the beauty it adorns. No matter how hard the decisions become, who gets the hard work going or what monetary means it will take to complete, its your dedication for each other that will get you across the finish line, making it all wonderfully worthwhile. The last I’d like to say to you both is this…. Be proud, be very VERY proud. 💐
The exterior looks more like the end of the 17th century rather then the 18th century. The high arch of the roof and the stone work and design of the windows all look more like 17th century. I am sure you know more than I do and it would nice to understand why the house was built this way at the end of the 18th century. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful work and dedication to this project. The world needs more people like you. Thank you.
Thank you for this fabulous video. ❤
thank you for your lovely feedback
Hopefully when the roof is fixed everything will go quicker
What a wonderfully unselfish attitude, not to rush things through for instant gratification but to take a purely historic approach. Such a worthwhile project, Well done
thank you
I love your chateau and the grounds are so beautiful.
Thanks and Merci for this great video, so well-realized and which answers to so many interesting questions ! Looking forward to discover the next one... 😉
thank you so much Florent
Thank you for answering some questions. Very interesting.
pleasure
Enhorabuena a todas las personas Amantes de Los Castillos, ese Patrimonio en el bello Vallée du Loire y aledaños. Lo que ustedes hacen, tiene muchisimo valor.
Thank you for telling us so much about your chateau! Your chateau is very beautiful, and I am glad you are saving it. Your video is very well made! It gives an impression it is made by professional video makers.😄
That's very kind thank you! We actually shot it all on our phones but the we are really fortunate to have kzhead.info as our drone partner and so we have them to thank for all the beautiful drone footage of the Château!
When we asked what the plan was. I don't think we meant a plan like you described. It was more about what are the priorities. Obviously, the roof first. Then what? Will you want to do more interior rooms? More foundational work like electrical and plumbing like you mentioned. Or saving the stables and chapel?
I think due to the building's heritage status, it's hard to have an organised plan. Each step requires research, waiting for an answer from the government, etc. Seems like many things will be happening simultaneously.
@M. M. I felt they had made that clear. Maybe i haven't been clear. I meant a list of what ideally THEY want to prioritise. They are in charge of starting the investigative work after all. The timeline after that of course cannot be known. But surely they know as an overview what their priorities are and where they will put their budget first?
We are in the process of completing an internal diagnositc and floor plan so we have a clear idea of what will be the use of each room. Once this is completed we can start working on the plumbing & electricity - especially on the ground and first floors.
@Château de Purnon thanks for sharing! Now all the burning questions have been answered :)
Hope to visit if you plan on having paid guests. It would be an honor and a way we could contribute.
Well done 👏🏻❤
This has got to be a lifetime undertaking and i really that you shall accomplish all that you wish to restore this grand old lady to her former state. Thank you for saving the French patrimoine and history. I was really happy to learn that you will restore the château in the style of Louis XVI.
