      Not surprised but just very happy that it is happening. There seem to be so many English and Americans who are restoring these wonderful properties. It’s lovely to see the French countrymen doing the same.

You clearly greatly respect the historic value of your property and are willing to go the extra lengths to maintain the integrity of the buildings. I am looking forward to watching the progress of your restoration project. In Canada we do not have anything of this age to appreciate so we can live vicariously through your efforts.

    Aloha,
    What a charming little chatelet! I imagine this could be a lovely dower house for grandmother or nanny to live in whilst caring for your children. One of my favorite features is the future bathing chamber. It has a spacious luxury that compliments a lounging 🛁 tub.
    I very much adore the attic space. The first room feels like a cozy yet grand sitting room. The half brick walls could easily accommodate low shelving, nestled beneath those glorious wooden arches. The amount of wall space could easily accommodate a large library of novels and picture books. This would leave a large open space perfect for children to gather and play with toys, read or color. Spending an afternoon lounging on a classic wrought iron daybed in front of the window, with a view of the chateau, reading and napping between visits with the children would bring joy to any grandmere.
    And the former Dovecote would make a splendid bedchamber with one of those French style wrought iron canopy beds. A sitting area adjacent to the bed and framed by the windows would be both charming to the eye and restful to the heart. Two dainty chairs and tiny table just big enough to enjoy a cup of tea before bed or hot chocolate and croissants in the morning would lend that romantic vibe, a worthy compliment to the miles of countryside beyond the windows.
    Beautiful, stunning , masterpiece. 🤩🥰 My thanks for your gracious tours of your grand new home!

    I really like your plan for restoration. What was the history of the tower gate? Was it originally part of a larger castle? Was it a residence? After the Chateau was built, and it was used as a gate, did employees, like a gate keeper, live there? In restoring the tower will it then be used by friends as another guest house / cottage to stay over for a visit? Do you have plans to have a book written about the history of the building and their uses past to the present? It's so interesting. Keep up the great work!
