As for the dogs seen in the video, they are not "bastards" resulting from a random crossbreeding, they are Saint Huberts, a French breed bred especially for hunting with hounds present since at least the 12th/13th century.
"Bastard" est un faux-ami, ça veut dire "salaud" (ou dans le sens de l'injure "bâtard") en anglais. Ça peut aussi désigner une chose impure ou dénaturée, mais pas un animal, sauf si on veut le dénigrer. Les termes pour "chien bâtard" en anglais sont "mutt".ou "mongrel". Mes deux cents.
Hergé took only the central part of the castle to imagine "Moulinsart". In fact, it's more Captain Haddock's castle than Tintin's. He's the one who bought it and lives there, served by the brave Nestor who used to be in the service of the fearsome Loiseau Brothers. Before Tintin lived in "Rue des Mésanges" as we see in "The Mysterious Star", "Tintin in the Land of Black Gold", "Ottokar's Sceptre", "The Crab with the Golden Claws" or during "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure". But from this episode we don't really know where Tintin is staying in the meantime, since during his visit to the Captain at the very beginning of "The Seven Crystal Balls" he arrives through the park entrance and finds him wearing a checked jacket and riding jodhpurs, with a monocle, jabot pin and slicked-back hair like a nobleman from the 1920s ! It was after "The Temple of the Sun" that Tintin came to live in Moulinsart, as we see during "The Calculus Affair" and "The Castafiore Emerald"...
I like your videos because I love your respect! There are many other castles in France. In general, private or public owners of castles try to respect the historical aspect of the castle and to reproduce the gardens as faithfully as possible as they were at the time of their construction. You should look at the Loire castles and other castles. When they are private owners, the maintenance costs of these castles are enormous. It takes a lot of ingenuity to achieve this. The castles belonging to the king became the property of the state. The color of the stones varies according to their original quarry.
Owners not only try but often also have to follow the _Monuments Historiques_ guidelines if they are on their registtry. Autrement ça deviendrait la fête du slip, et les MoHi peuvent vite te coller des amendes, voire un procès..
In my opinion the most beautiful of the Chateaux of the Loire is Chenonceux. Given as a present by the King to his mistress, Diane de Poitiers. She must have been quite a woman.
At Villandry, the most stunningly colourful part is the vegetable garden: the patterns you see from 12:16 are filled with salads, cabbages root vegetables, all with different leaf colours. I have been there when I was a boy and it was amazing.

The Italian renaissance was influenced by ancient Rome. Around 1450 in Rome have been discovered an imperial underground palace that have been buried at the death of a Roman emperor, and so have been discovered statues , paintings...that influenced Italian artists which triggered the beginning of the renaissance. After this discovery, the popes ordered more escavations. Hundreds of Roman arts were discovered. They are now in the Vatican museums.
Biggest regret of my life was passing the opportunity to buy a Chateau for £100K back in 1997. It needed a fair amount of work but came with 3 renovated Gîtes (holiday cottages), that would have probably funded the work.
You have no idea how expensive simply maintening a château is. When you buy one, you're legally obliged to maintain it by following the _Monuments Historiques_ guidelines, in France, there is, if the château is on their registry. The 3 gîtes revenue wouldn't even fund the yearly maintenance funds for the château. Même un gars comme Yves Lecoq (oui, l'imitateur) s'est ruiné à maintenir ses quatre châteaux, bien quiil avait un bon revenu avec les Guignols et faisait de la pub pour Art et Fenêtre, dès que ces revenus ont stoppé il a dû tout vendre et est toujours endetté. Chacun de ses châteaux lui coûtait 10000€ par mois à entretenir. C'est le genre de rêve qui demande d'être multi-millionnaire pour espérer le réaliser sereinement. TL;DR : You dodged a huge bullet, don't have any regret about it. Trust me.
Maybe the most unbelievable cathedral of France ! The first time you arrive in front of this rather frightening fortified mastodon, (Apart from the tiny Gothic entrance on the side...) it's impossible to imagine the shock that it will be once you enter ! Because the interior, entirely painted from floor to ceiling and filled with gilding and carved wood, is simply MIND-BLOWING. Along with the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, it's the only cathedral in France to have kept such an interior. (Originally, the exteriors of cathedrals were also completely painted, and not made of rough stones as we see them today...)
This is a rule you are never gonna need in your life, but it's one château, two châteaux. One oiseau (bird), two oiseaux (birds), one bateau (boat), two bateaux (boats).

Night vision is better with color blind people but sunlight would cause damage faster so night watchman were majority color blind. Wealthy nobles had light of fires all night while poor people had limited or no light except moon an d stars so poor people's eyes had longer healing time.
Incroyable cet endroit ! J'ai vu tellement de vidéos. Et je suis assez vieux pour me souvenir d'avoir entendu parler de ce projet il y a une éternité au moment du lancement.
In french : 1 - « Un » (this is a weird one, which pronounces somewhat like a more nasal « an » from « bang »). 2 - « deux » (pronounced like the « u » in « purple » but with the mouth closed a little more) 3 - « trois » (pronounced with the french R of course, and the « oi » sound that goes like the « wah » of the wah-wah guitar pedal).
I don't want to disappoint you, but the fact that 500 years ago our ancestors saw better than us in the dark has very little chance of being true. Even if the evolution of sapiens is continuous, 500 years is too little for such an adaptation or loss of adaptation, these things are played out over tens or hundreds of millennia. For Europeans, going from dark skin to light skin took 60,000 years and a drastic change in diet, so what does 500 years weigh?
Your theory of slow evolution is generally correct, but you didnt check the facts and all the factors at play. Our eyesight is actually worse. There has been an epidemic of myopia in the last 100 years and a third of adults in the US and 90 per cent of adults in Taiwan now need to wear corrective lenses. Myopia is inherited, but the reason for the recent increase seems to be more time spent indoors looking at close objects, especially books and screens. People with bad eyesight were generally less successfull, had a harder life, before corrective lenses, natural selection would have kept general eyesight level pretty stable so evolution was slow. But with the arrival of corrective lenses that is no longer the case. Also , certain properties can evolve rapidly in those 500 years. We've gained and lost immunity against diseases and most visibly Our average height has increased dramatically due to better nutrition and natural selection. The same could have been the case for eyesight. But since this is a far more advanced organ i also had doubts it would go so fast, untill i looked up the facts. I also often know general theory, but nature has a way of fooling with my logics and generalisations , so i learned to check😊🤘❤️
@@CobraChicken101 You are confusing "Evolution" and "Adaptation". Evolution is a genetically inherited trait and in the vast majority of cases there is no turning back. Adaptation is a defense or facilitation mechanism that can be changeable, it can be gained or lost depending on food, location, temperature, etc. But above all it does not affect genes in depth and is reversible.
@@CROM-on1bz You're right, even if it's sometimes hard to know when something is purely due to genetics, environment, or a mix of the two. One thing he's right about though, is that the speed of evolution depends on a lot of factors. Mainly how critical it is to survive, or more accurately, to pass on your genes. The most wel-known example of relatively "fast" evolution in some regions of the world, especially Europe, is lactose tolerance. It was such an advantage in some places that raised cows to drink their milk, that it altered the average human quickly. But granted, something like seeing in the dark would take millenias. As the effect is more modest, and as it's probably harder for the organism to improve sight rather than just keep an enzym in your intestines (for the lactose example).
@@xenotypos Yes it is very complex, even the change in skin color is not an evolution but more an adaptation since it is reversible. On the other hand the brain volume of 1600 cm3 on average seems to him an evolution although it is lower than the brain volume of Nehanderthal which was 1800 cm3 while the synapsial connections have nothing to do with it. (nor the development of the different areas of the brain). All this is very complicated.😉
Pointing out someone is wrong doesn't mean you have to insult them. Unless that's a way to cope and feel better about yourself but that says more about you than about him. What kind of attitude is that ? Who raised you ?
I hate these. Those place are complete destruction of all charm and beauty that castles had. Castles, as defensive places had interesting and engaging architecture. Then, all these castles were turned into this abomination, a XVIII century equivalent of McMansion. Only Beynac looks proper. Architectural abomination.
It's more simply because the residents have adapted to the changes in their environment. It's all good to be picky when you don't live there. But, if you respect so much the ancestral way of life, live in a cave. 😋
@@LetsChillPage you probably have not seen a medieval castle in Italy, the external and internal appearance has remained the same with the modernization of the services inside
@@fabriziopastorino3792 Nor can we say that French castles are so denatured.
