    We are preparing an exclusive documentary about the incredible Guyot family (each of the 5 family members owns - at least - a chateau!).If you want to be informed of its availability (not on UA-cam) before everyone else, you can subscribe to our brand new newsletter (free & in English): bit.ly/3RxQn9H

      @mcqueendroid: He will need more than looks to restore the chateau. Even if he works as a ‘gigolo’ for extra money, it won’t be enough. Although his chateau appears to be in better shape than the French doctor (who speaks English), the restorations are major, major projects. Even the English family who is doing a great job is applying a variety of skills learned as they go. Bothe the French doctor and this young man need a family with restoration skills.

    I am 26 and I would love to do the same. I am passionate about History and want to make sure that these historical homes and castles never go abandoned and always stay in their original shape and form. I am obsessed with making them stay untouched. I might be able to make this dream a reality pretty soon.

    I am grateful to this young man for his appreciation and commitment to preserving his Nation’s architectural history! He’s young enough to see this project to it’s completion. I hope that many more are inspired by him, as countless old mansions and historic homes are decaying across the EU and UK (here in America too).

      @Gibbsian36 Рік тому +26

      His father and uncle (Jacques and Michel Guyot) pioneered in the 1970s a business model for restoring historical French castles that had been abandoned and were falling into disrepair. They bought the property on credit and then paid for that and for the restoration by charging visitors and leasing parts of the property for weddings and other social events. This has been successful and all of Jacques's children (including Louis, who appears in this video) have been involved in similar ventures. I think that the family must be well off now, but they were not rich to begin with. Jacques Guyot started out working in theater.

    There’s a channel called “Sam and Jess Explore” where two young people visit dozens of abandoned, and often fully furnished, châteaus. It’s somewhat depressing, as there are so many priceless antiques, furniture, books, art, mantelpieces, simply rotting in the countryside.
