    Aloha Patrick and Stuart, watching this fun, educational and heart warming video for the 2nd. time was delightful. As I have mentioned before, I adore your Channel and it is definitely one of my top 3, MUST WATCH EVERYDAY, channels. There’s always something that I missed or didn’t have a long enough view of first time, that makes a rewatch quite rewarding, especially new surprises that just seem to pop up out of nowhere. Thank you both for all the love and positive energy you share in your videos 🏰.

      My preferred restaurant in Chinon is l'Oceanic. Full gastronomical menu is sooo good. Another excellent place is in Langeais, Le Coin Des Halles. But the cheapest was Au Fil de l'Eau in Avoine, workmen's cantine with unbeatable quality for the price. Langeais' castle is also interesting. Did you visit the royal abbey of Fontevreau? Or the little church in Rivière? But my preferred Saturday mornings were at the market in Saumur where you can make friends with nearly everyone (lots of expats).

The Abbay Royale de Fonteveraud is one of my absolute favorite buildings. Entering it always takes my breath away. Its beauty lies in its stunning simplicity. I very much love the Restaurants des Routiers. Great food at unbeatable prices. In wine region, there might be a bottle of the house red on the table.

    Very well made video, tasteful music, good content. Well done. You have another subscriber here. My one bit of advice might be to suggest taking binoculars to view that all important roof condition of the prospective chateau from the ground. Getting more perspectives on probably the most expensive portion of a chateau repair may help in knowing current condition and a future expense. It might help in negotiating price as well. Just a thought.

      Hi Suzie. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. We are glad, that you enjoyed the first real vlog of ours. It was a bit torture to see some nice items and being completely unable to buy anything. Anna and Philip were really fantastic to stay with. Please stay tuned. Stuart is working on the next vlog.

      Hi Susan. Thanks for joining our crazy journey. The one advantage we have is that we had role models (Escape to the Dream (love them), How to renovate a chateau without killing you partner (we stayed with them for two night) and Chateau Diaries. Our one advantage is that we are filing from the beginning. If things would have worked out 2 years ago, we would not have this vantage point. Thanks for subscribing. Next time we will go chateau hunting, we will meet Terry, Ash, Tracey Tony (and Jonathan) and take them out for dinner to thank them.

      @@patrickjourneytothechateau8243 we came from Devon; on the slopes of Dartmoor - some of my family were already here and I bought a place in the Minervois in the early 1980's. Avignon and everything North and East of Carcassonne is getting hotter as you say, because of climate change. In the foothills of the Pyrenees the weather is temperate; we have a lovely summer/spring/winter. The Apple orchards tell the weather story here. They won't thrive in the heat of just 30 mins away.. My sister moved from Avignon to Burgundy for the weather but has found the weather in central France has become stifling in the summer. One of the reasons we chose to be here because as one of my daughters is a senior negotiator for the Climate Change Treaty , she was able to give us a mapping of future change. So we are out of a valley; away from potential floods but in an area where there is not a water shortage. We are future proofing with all water from the buildings are going into a water tank; we have Solar panels; a huge amount of insulation (so it's cool in the summer, warm in the winter) and Air source heat pumps which run the hot water and central heating. Cheaper area's of France can be completely dead in the winter. I had a Manoir on the Manche Peninsula in Normandy (check that out its fabulous) but am equally happy here as there is a year round social scene; summer and winter

You are very fortunate to have such an accomplished daughter. We here in the US have to listen to stupid elected officials who still don’t believe in climate change. Science is not what they believe. I am always mapping things out. No valleys for me either! Wonderful, that you have already done much for the future. We are thinking about that a lot. Solar, insulation etc. I find all of what you have shared so fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
