With its breathtaking gardens, exquisite interiors, and rich aristocratic history, the château stands as a symbol of French cultural heritage. Preserved and celebrated by Sebastian and Victoria Botana de Beauvau-Craon, Château d'Haroué continues to enchant visitors with its timeless elegance and storied past.
Nice tour. My favorite part was the faithful dog who followed her everywhere.
I agree. So well trained I would think. Fascinating to watch, it was as if the dog was listening to her every word, ( ears alert!) almost put me off looking at anything else😉😃
I think the dog could sense she was quite nervous because of the camera. It was just making sure she stayed safe.
@stephenjablonsky1941 @jennycarter1149 @ KNYD Really ?? The lady gives you a tour of her chateau/home, telling you about her family's history, history itself, architecture, etc... and your favorite part is the dog ??????
Are you mental !!! With no doubt at all, you're Americans. Only Americans will pay that much attention to the dog on the 23 minutes video and write a comment about it. Unbelievable. 🤯
@@MarcheurdePlanete The bond between man and dog goes back thousands of years and is a delight to behold. If that makes me mental, so be it.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 AHAHAHA !!! worst response ever.
The video is about history and a family. And you have the audacity to compare that with the bound of human and dog ? Fudging stupid.
The lady took time to show you something about her history and you care only about the dog ???? This is mental. Period.
Stay where you are, don't visit the countries who made yours. We'll be pleased. Thanks
The German Shepherd guards its human at all times. So sweet..
yea-so he won't get lost
Wonderful young woman. It’s clear that her dog adores her. Thank you, lovely lady.
She's a nice old lady
Thank you for the tour Victoria. Your English is impeccable. I thank you for keeping the family chateau in service for us to enjoy. I'm sure it is both a special treat and burden.
An absolutely beautiful house presented by a beautiful host.The German Shepard was like a little shadow throughout the tour,he or she was gorgeous.Thank you for taking us through this wonderful tour of history....
O wow,I am so impressed. The lady is so lovely and humble. She has great self control, but I can hear the emotion in her voice. Understandable. The chateau is extraordinary. Huge space indeed. People like saying words with certain intonation about such families with chateau,castles...but I doubt that the majority of them have a realistic idea,what enormous responsibility it is really. And pride of course, but they pay the price one way or another. I love the techniques the resorator was using. So interesting. Touching delicately and revealing original colours. So exciting. All is impressive inside and outside. So much history, the stories..you can almost smell it how it was in the past. I would love to visit this chateau should I have the opportunity. It would be truly special experience. Thank you for this great episode 👍 RIP Madame Mini de Beauvau- Craon.
Sei magnifique!
Naturally, she is an upper class
She's hot😂
But yeah it'd practically micromanaging the managers of a city or town. Without the taxes.
She looks so much like her mother …
Imagine a childhood playing in this magnificent building.
French castles are such a princess dream for me.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family home with the world. A special thanks for sharing some of your private areas. That was most generous.
We're so fortunate that your family still occupies the castle and cares for it so lovingly.
Good luck with all of your current and future restorations. You have a marvelous treasure in your home.
❤ from TX!
In particular, as one of the unexpected highlights of the tour, is to be able to see the the tower roof’s structural woodwork, was a rare and real treat. Thank you, again.
What a beautiful home! Obviously cared for by a loving family
Always love old architecture, nothing like it nowadays, magnificent👍👍👍👍
beautiful home and a wonderful tour guided by Victoria
I'm glad that the family keep this treasure for future family members! Dog is gorgeous🎉
I applaud anyone who preserves this heritage and all who value and support the effort it takes to prevent these glorious monument’s from falling into ruin.
I visited twice with my daughter. It's so beautiful! I remember driving into the village out on the countryside and all of a sudden this giant chateau is right in front of you, something you wouldn't expect at all.
The roofs looked shiny as silver with the sunlight on it.
It was stunning, I was really happy to be there!
Greetings from Germany 🥰💖👋
What a humble, kind and attentive woman. This is someone who has nothing to prove and gives of herself to preseve history, thank you!
This is the most beautiful seen yet.
Magnificent and iconic.
💕☺️
The presenter probably never sees our comments but clearly the tour is much appreciated by many and I hope they know that. A great responsibility for she and her brother. By living there and paying attention as they grew up, listening to family stories/history, roaming through out the many spaces - high and low - they are now the subject matter experts. Bien joué!
That image of the doggie towards the end looking in from outside was cute,
It matters little to me that her family lineage goes back over a thousand years. What I see in this young lady is a sweet, sensitive, intelligent soul, and that matters much more. So charming and so kind. Her mother raised her well.
Everyone's lineage goes back thousands of years, even more.
@@katepenk3401yes, what’s different here is that they have kept property in the family 🤯
@@DeathByFashion1But other families also kept their wealth during this time, only it was much smaller, they simply had and still have ordinary, but also fragmented, households. The aristocracy is characterized by community. By sticking together, it copes better organizationally and representatively. Every family grows. However, not every family thinks in terms of unity, investing in the future of generations to live together. Instead of living in 50 houses or apartments, you can live in a large castle or palace that has 50 or 100 rooms. Not every family would exchange houses for one large house because not everyone has developed a culture of cooperation, able to appreciate a large common home. It's a matter of mentality, I know problems of this type from my own family (a much smaller and modest house with only 50 rooms and about 100 windows, inhabited only by 2 people including me, because the others do not feel the idea of community. They turned away and scattered the property, not wanting to take on the burden of renovations. A large old house is a lot of problems if it does not hold the whole family together, then it is the responsibility of a few people who are the only ones who want to keep it in the family instead of selling it, getting rid of the burden). Most people probably prefer to live separately, which is why large estates are hardly built anymore. They prefer to have their own apartment or house instead of their own rooms or mezzanine. I was also encouraged to move out and agree to sell, due to the heating costs and the lack of prospects for renovation. Such as replacing rotting wooden windows or leaking terraces. However, I have an idea to finance it by renting the ground floor :-)
If it's 10 generations they e had the house, and each generation is between 20-30 years, all the math that I know says they've only been there 300 years, which makes no sense at all.
Merci Victoria. You have a lovely home. I have learned how much work is involved in restoring and maintaining an historic chateau.
The circular wood floors are beautiful.
Congratulations on maintaining such a beautiful house , it is not an easy task and I and many others applaud you
Tra tutti i castelli francesi che osservo, questo è quello che mi piace di più.
È simmetrico, elegante, maestoso, senza rifacimenti o aggiunte nei secoli.
È un castello meraviglioso.
Una perla architettonica.
Un grazie ai proprietari che lo curano ogni giorno, mostrandolo al pubblico.
This young woman made the castle tour interesting to watch
she's not only beautiful, but smart and down to earth and I like that, her dog's beautiful too. stay well Madame
Thank you for the tour of this beautiful and historic chateau. I love the family history provided as part of the tour. I am in awe of Victoria and Sebastian making their family home their life’s work for many generations to come.❤
What an incredible family home! Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us. It must be a treat for the young students training to be conservators to work with living history. And to see some of the actual conservation methods was fascinating. I only wish we were introduced to your beautiful dog! Merci!
Absolutely beautiful. And intriguing story. Thank you for opening your family’s home and sharing.
Moi qui suis né en Lorraine (que j’ai quitté voilà plus de 30 ans) n’ai jamais entendu parler de ce château…. Je vais de ce pas remédier à cela et je remercie toutes celles et ceux qui participent à la réalisation de ces vidéos qui nous permettent de découvrir le patrimoine francais. Je remercie particulièrement Madame de nous recevoir et nous montrer sa demeure. Elle a donné une dimension émotionnelle à ce tour. Je ne sais pas pourquoi…
Thank you very much for the warm reception, the walk through your memory of memories in each living space of yours in your house, you being the best of the entire castle because only you have the magic of knowing the meaning and feeling of each place in this your home, thank you so much, it was magical to accompany you on your day
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for taking the time to create such an educational tour. My brother in law owns a chateau in southern France that was occupied/ransacked by Germans during WWII. It’s a completely different architecture. It’s base is 15th century, but the desert is so different.
Magnificent, yes I will be visiting next year. Condolences to you and your family on the loss of your beautiful Mother.
One of the best tours given, awesome english and a wonderful heritage rich family
Oh, I was so happy to find this video and see your beautiful home and the lovely restorations your family have made. The work is exquisite and filled with history and charm. You are a superb guide as chatelaine and I wish you every success to continue in your work for future generations. I am quite sure your mother would be very proud of you. Be well and thank you!
What a lovely home and it's such a joy to see children working together for the good of future generations instead of being in loggerheads over inheritance. I love this, it's exemplary.
What a thing to pass from generation to generation . You gave a GREAT tour de Force !!!!!!!!
Yes, yes preserve them all. New generation's have the rights to see these and its history and customs of that time. Beautiful!!!❤keep the good work in the future this will be very very valuable.😊
What an incredible piece of artwork of a home!I love the 365 windows for the days of the year 52 chimneys for weeks etc. it’s great
Absolutely beautiful. How lucky they are to be custodians of such a historical home / castle. Bravo
Stunning!! I believe I saw a huge bird nest on top of one of the fireplaces outside. What an immense responsibility to have such a place. Thank you so much for sharing.
Remarkable chateau. Thank you for introducing your chateau, which is not only beautiful but also historic.
This is my favorite Chateau in France. By far. What a lovely, smart, beautiful person you are! Your English is exquisite. I'm very happy you are taking such good care of this unbelievable property. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Thank you for the tour.

Les Caves are magnificent and the light is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing.
Damn - she really took us through a tour of European history through her childhood home
Simply incredible!! Loved this château!!
Magnificent,stunning and beautiful!,, thank you for sharing..
Stop at 01:09 and you see lots of storks (FR: cigognes) nesting on the chimneys. And all through the presentation the German shepherd dog makes sure his owner is safe. I love that.
Wow, I was so impressed with this lady and her dog and her way of presenting the castle. I learned a lot thank you.
Great tour! What a marvel! Gives true meaning to the phrase "generational wealth"! Love her English, especially her endearing fondness of "discovered."
Beautiful house 👍🏴
Thank you beautiful lady for sharing your Chateau with us. What a lot of work it must be to maintain it. You are blessed to be able to do it.
Exceptional. Living memories of craftwork….now a heritage for the world. Bien Merci.
Beautiful home and monument to a legendary French family. Remarkable dedication to restoration and preservation. Thank you so much for the privileged tour of this incredible piece of history. Magnificent doggo very loyal to his master !
She is as charming and has as much presence as an A List list movie star ⭐️
Fascinating tour. Thank you! What a beautiful Château to have for generations and share with the public.
My God ! Simply magnificent ! Can you live there ? Or is it too cold ? Breathtaking ! Such a beautiful mother and aunt !
Colours are exquisitely done.
Hi Victoria. Thank you for the tremendous job you and your brother are doing for preservation of world history for the future generations of this little planet of ours. In addition, thank you for sharing your personal and your famille’s rich history with your viewers. More power to you on this important path.
What a delightful tour and tour guide!
Thank you Victoria! Your home is beautiful!
👍😘👍
The moment I saw the chateau prior to switching it on I thought "Emilio Terry!" I'm so glad you referenced him, he was a brilliant designer, a man of superb taste. I realize both owners of the chateau are descended from members of the Terry family which enjoys a most interesting history. Thank you, a beautiful mini-documentary of a wonderful chateau.
Victoria, hi from Russia. It's a great pleasure, that some of the family castles/chateaus are in such great condition. And a great pleasure that You do share a family history with UA-cam viewers. Hope, You know the meaning of the few coats of arms that You showed. And called them as "family symbols". According to the coats of arms, You and me are far-far-far relatives. Also, You should know to have wide range of relatives in few special locations in Europe. With the same coats of arms. And not only in France. Some of them keeps studying the family history and shows it to the public. As do I. And You.
If You want an additional compliment, Your chateau/mansion/palace looks litle bit gloomy for me, but for sure is one of the most attractive in architectural point of view among the family estate. God knows why, but architectural design and taste was not among the main achievements of the family, as I know ;) So, good luck in keeping this masterpiece. And in development and maintaining. You're great! Bon chance!
Awesome home I’m glad they appreciate it and are keeping the legacy alive
Thank you for showing us this historic Chateau.
Je suis admiratif de votre dévouement pour la conservation de cette bâtisse énorme. Une résponsabilité et une énorme charge que vous excercez avec un charme merveilleux. Très grand merci!
What a pleasure to tour this splendid chateau. Many Thanks.
Tha Chateau is magnificent.
* * AMAZING....MAGNIFIQUE !!!!! * *
Merci Victoria pour cette visite ! Quelle maison ! Quelle beau travail de restauration grâce à vous et aux Monuments Nationaux !
A beautiful fairy tale castle. She seems to relish the accomplishment of the restoration as much as the end result. I flipped houses in South Carolina, nothing remotely on this exquisite grandeur. But at the end of each long hard battle of redoing the entire inside and landscaping the grounds. I was as much pleased with the adventure of the redo as I was with the end result. Cheers from the States❤️
Amazing architecture. Thank you for having this available to view. Beautiful!!
Very interesting tour! I live in Ohio USA 🇺🇸. I know absolutely nothing about French history. I hope I can visit chateaus , castles and palaces in my lifetime. It's expensive to travel in general.
It is magnificent! Thank you for restoring and share it with us!
Well done. Very pleasant tour. I never knew about the bathroom sink, haha. May your famiily have this home for many generations to come. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Victoria for the wonderful tour!
How magical to be a part of this magical magnificent chateau, very well done! Best wishes future endeavors.
This is what we want to see in French palaces from the inside, the ceiling and the high ceilings, the preservation of the high ceilings, the pictures, the floor and the gardens. The important thing is this, which I wanted to see in the high-ceilinged rooms of a real palace and the old furniture. Preserving everything as it was in the rooms. Also, I do not want to see the restoration of the palaces, but some sing it in the modern style. From the inside, but this is what we want to see how the palaces and life in ancient times were really, very beautiful and wonderful👍👏🌷
I watched a video on UA-cam and the French château is just absolutely stunning and that it’s been in your generations for this long. It’s amazing that this will be passed on to your youngest generation. I live in the US, this is something that I would love to come and see one day.
Wow. Very interesting. So much then. So much now to realize. Thank you for sharing.
What a lovely demonstration of labor of love 🙏🙏🙏, thank you so much for sharing 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
How wonderful -thank you for sharing.The private rooms were fascinating.
Lovely visit to your generational home! Thank you so much!
Lovely tour; the joinery of the roof beams in the tower is incredible. The restoration in the Chinese tower is very interesting, the decoration is so intricate. Thank you.
Thank you for the visit, beautifully presented, sharing both information and passion. Wish you and your family all the best for the future.
Обожаю историю, знаю многие замки... Но про этот мало слышала, крутой замок... Хотя Щведские и Английские замки тоже прекрасны!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this beautiful chateau,so much history is truly amazing! 👩🏼🫶🏽👋🏼🇨🇦
Magnifique et charmant!
My dream mansion! In general I am a man, who loves old traditional life style, so this opulent and luxury living is really something for me. Such a cozy place. Something, that modern casual life nowadays cannot provide at all. I love this so much and hope the owner enjoys living there to the fullest.
A very delightful walk through of a beautiful chateaux 💯
Stunning, lost for words to describe better than stunning. Really good explaining your family history, I enjoyed every second of it. 👍♥️🥰 From Frances.
What a beautiful place to live. It would be fun to learn how big the staff is and their duties. Dusting must be a full-time job for someone.
Thank you for sharing with us your family house, Victoria. It is a beutiful chateu. Best wishes.
Благодарю,очаровательная Виктория! Незабываемые ощущения! Иметь замок,обжитый девятью поколениями до тебя,это из области фантастики, такое тесное погружение в глубину веков! Представляю,какое количество традиций и реликвий накопилось за это время! Немецкая овчарка,которая на протяжении всей презентации сопровождает свою хозяйку - это очень трогательно,и очень в духе семейных традиций! Успехов вам в реставрационных работах по сохранению замка.
Stunning!
Thank you for this generous tour of a beautiful home, in a breathtaking chateau. Thank you for making this film and sharing it.
What a blessing to be able to see this beautiful home. I imagine, restoration aside, just keeping up on everyday cleaning must require an entire crew of people. I never thought I would want to be a housekeeper, but to do it here would be a dream. Thank you so much for sharing.
Et j’ajoute qu’il est bon de voir le Mobilier National mettre à disposition du mobilier d’état pour meubler les châteaux (même privés) afin de montrer de quoi les artisans français étaient capables de faire (et font sûrement encore !!!) et enfin de rendre les visites plus intéressantes. Bravo également à Minnie pour ce qu’elle a fait: deux beaux enfants !
It’s nice that they still have church services.
Beautiful! Thank you!
