I have never known two people to be so articulate, you make wonderful presenters amongst your many other skills. These videos are so interesting t listen to because of it..Thank you!

I love the history lessons! It somehow makes everything more beautiful ❤

Those stone masons are indeed highly skilled artists! Amazing that the fabric wallpaper backing is 200 years old and in good enough condition to be used again.

The exhilaration of discovering the beauty of Chateau de Purnon, and buying it must have been quite overshadowed at times by the enormity of the task of restoring it. What a huge relief it must be to have grown your team to include M. Didier, so many artisans, and patrons. What an absolute joy to know she's being restored in all her considerable beauty by such an army, and what a contrast to the beginning of your journey with her that must be. Looking forward to more!

Attention to detail on this project is phenomenal.

[sarahwade]

I am always amazed at the enormity and complexity of this project. You have such talented crafts people and you two are dedicating your lives to Purnon. The chateau and the French people are so fortunate that you have made Purnon your life’s work.

Château roof with the blue slate, is absolutely gorgeous, accompanied by the stone façade being repaired and cleaned, will be spectacular when finished.

French artisans are truly the best in the world

This is an absolutely fabulous journey to be a part of. The restoration processes are incredible. ❤

I found the explanation of the coats of arms really interesting, thank you. I did not know about the colour coding of the directional stripes. Also what amazing deep carving, to allow it to be clearly visible from a distance. So many superb crafts and craftsmen. Love that you are re-hanging the wallpaper on hessian, as it was originally done. 🌹

What a wonderful, wonderful episode. You brought to us so much beautiful detail that, by the end, my eyes were filled to overflowing. There is no finer collaboration than that between human eyes and human hands. (I include in that declaration the making of this video.) Thank you.

That Coat of Arms is awesome! I can't wait to see it all finished! 😃

Fantastic to see to young Aussies restoring this magnificent historic
building. I admire your dedication to preserve as much of its original architecture as possible & explaining the history.
Hello from Western Australia 🇦🇺👏🏻👏🏻👋🏻👋🏻

[pamelkamah]

The finished part of your roof is looking spectacular 😊

[donjobs]

Wow, your videos are absolutely fascinating. I can't believe how much I learn in 20 minutes from them. It's refreshing to find videos with actual substance on Youtube. I have unsubscribed from all my other "Chateau Reno" channel subscriptions, realizing now that they are just advertisement delivery vehicles.

You guys are undertaking an incredible and important project, and your passion for it really shines in your videos! Thanks for taking us along!

[Monitschka]

So many interesting insights. Coat of arms, new hessian, the new roof looking like an old one...love it. 🥰

[donnadodman]

Wow what an amazing historical knowledge on the coat of arms....fascinating!

[antoinettelelu]

La qualité du travail des artisans est admirable.

[mamabearlovesbts]

Oh my goodness… I cannot tell you how much I enjoy, listening to the artisans explain how they are repairing the coat of arms, and other things they are doing, fascinating. The roofers are doing an excellent job, and it’s so enjoyable to watch Chateaux de Purnon come back to life.
