      Yes, the gentleman-of-the-castle seems to have that rare quality of being both affable (friendly) and yet astute and erudite at the same time ...a very rare and balanced personality. Would LOVE to see this exquisitely painted/decorated and renovated castle someday. What an amazing "Father-of-Art Nouveau" artist and architect was Viollet-le-Duc! The colors in the second room featured ...the dining room I think, so keenly remind me of the animal and decorative motifs and the colors of yellow, mauve, red, and pale turquoise (or pale Wedgwood blue?) of the artist Brumidi who painted the corridors of the U.S.A. Capitol Building. Simply exquisite dining room!! Thank you for the tour and charmingly informative information!

    You might own the castle but anyone watching can see it owns your heart, and in the modern age lives and breaths through you. You clearly see yourself as a custodian of history. It's easy to be jealous but owning a castle probably takes over your life, your lucky that you have the passion to do this, and so are we!

    What a great gentleman. He was obviously born very privileged and could've easily gone down the path of cavalier indifference and reckless prodigality. However, his passion for history and his property make him and ideal custodian and guardian of not only his family's but France's heritage.

      "He was obviously born very privileged", not necessarily, the wealth of these old estates was in the land that they controlled and I doubt that they own much more than the grounds that this castle is on which they make their money off of by giving tours. The landed aristocracy pretty much went broke all over Europe by the 19th century or before. What is amazing is that the family back in the day put so much money into an old castle, most of them just left them to rot or used the stone to build a more modern house.

If I could only show someone one video on this subject, this would be the one I'd show them. This of course would mess them up because then they would want/expect everyone else to give as good of a tour of their property as they experienced with this tour! OUTSTANDING AND WELL DONE!

The painted ceilings are incredible & so lovely to see them still so colorful & mostly just like new. I love to view castles all over yet most of them are ruins & it is hard to picture how they might have looked with furnishings & family touches. This shows how a wealthy family actually lived hundreds of years ago - of course there were many servants to keep it all going , and now must be very much harder without that work force available.

      I don't know. France is letting way too many violent Islamic and Algerian migrants in, and recently they've been spreading to the countryside. Not a people I would want to interact with or be around. I really want to visit historic French structures like old cathedrals, castles and such, but their lax border policies make it distasteful.

      ​@@feudinggreeks3316Je suis français et je vie bien évidemment en France.
      N'écoutez pas les médias et les imbéciles qui disent n'importe quoi.
      L'immigration se passe très bien dans l'ensemble et la France reste un pays très sécurisé. (En plus il y à quasiment pas d'immigrés dans les petites villes et campagnes).
      Mais la fortune des riches en France devient tellement indécente qu'ils ont décidés de stigmatiser les immigrés pour pas que le peuple se concentre sur ces inégalités abyssales. (Car les médias pour une grande partie sont possédés par les premières fortunes).
      Le vrai problème de la France n'est pas l'immigration, mais que 10% de la population possèdent tout.
      Alors que sans les immigrés qui font tournés le pays, la France qui à une population autochtone très vieille n'arriverait plus à faire tourner le pays.

    Absolutely fascinating! I loved your narration and the history of the chateau. The old castle : I'd love to see more of since after 25 years of work, I've recently completed my family tree tracing back to Charlemagne and the Merovingian kings. Thanks and greetings from Australia.

    Magnificent legacy.
    What makes it more difficult is to maintain such an expensive castle through different times.
    I'm sure the owner is wealthy, but to keep wealthy for 700 years through the revolution, Napoleon, WW1 and 2 is something.

    The historical narration is very informative. Glad the chateau remained in the family for such a long period of time. The eventual completion of those frescoes would be satisfying to all. Maybe the rooms could be opened to the public without restoration. Many people welcome small imperfections. Keep up the good work.

    Absolutely stunning. Beautiful beyond mere words. I know realistically that we can’t preserve every building from the medieval time period, and lots of structures from that time period have been lost to the insidious passing of time, but I am so happy that this beautiful castle has been preserved and is being restored to its glory. I can’t wait to see the finished project!

    What an absolutely charming presentation of a beautiful castle! I really appreciated the "sneaky" humor mixed in with the descriptions! (ex: "If you've read the classics, Harry Potter number two.") Sébastien de Baritault is a natural in front of the camera! I could have watched a two-hour tour and still felt it too short!
