Madame Purnon is getting her glow up and she's looking fantastic.

First congratulations on your success, the château work and also 2500 views in less than 45 minutes. I am surprised at myself at how deeply emotionally invested I am in all of your work. The old lady is not just a building and not just a historically significant location, but an emotional investment for all of us. The work that you and the French government are doing with this landmark is phenomenal and the work that the two of you are doing with the documentation videos is some of the most pleasant and engaging content that I’ve seen on YouTube for a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing all of this with us. I’m sending good vibes for all of the good vibes you’re sending us.

The artisans are to be commended for their skills in restoring this important and beautiful piece of history. I love watching this journey. Thank you again for taking us along.

After all of your work emptying buckets to save the interior from more damage; how wonderful for you to be able to show the dry interiors awaiting their turn to be restored. Bravo ❤

As a fellow Australian, I can't tell you how proud and invested I am in your journey. The people of the area that the Chateau is a part of, must be delighted with the care and attention to detail you have shown. Bless.

Je n'ai pas de mot pour définir le travail titanesque que vous avez entrepris en rénovant ce magnifique château avec toute votre âme et ardeur de jeunesse ! Un bel exemple pour nous Français qui avons la chance d'avoir un patrimoine dans ce domaine hors du commun et mis en valeur grâce à venez de si loin ! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart !

[RhondaBAZ]

So many artisans..it is so exciting to see the intricate items being restored..It is a beauty and deserves everything to bring her back!

[DavidYork-eqkm]

You are doing a fantastic job of the chateau and restoring the history of the building with all your hard work.

The restauration of the interior will of course be most enticing but the outside restaurations are equally fascinating ! The quality of the work is impressive .

One of the highlights of my week is watching my weekly Purnon video. Just fantastic progress and simply amazing the whole army of artisans involved.

[happycamper]

I have tears in my eyes each time I watch your videos. It’s just wonderful seeing this exquisite Chateau being brought back to life in such a caring and thoughtful way. It’s uplifting to know that there are still people such as your Artisans working on the project who have decided to go into this line of work and carry on the traditions. I just am in awe of their skill and great respect for them. I have your beautiful book on my coffee table and it’s just a joy to look at and read!! Thank you for making this your life project, what a wonderful benefit to the preservation of history and to just providing and protecting beauty for the present. ❤

Just walked past the Farrow & Ball shop in Hampstead, London and saw the Purnon Papers in the window, I wish I could send a photo, they look magnificent.

[jillwestgarth]

I have no idea why people do not leave a ‘like’. If almost 72, 000 have watched the video, why did they spend the time if it wasn’t something they liked?
Brilliant renovation of French national treasure. Bravo 🎉

[lynnmanning]

Even today you have found old technique to restore this magnificent home. Bravo wonderful work!

[janewilmer]

This whole project has just blown me away!!! I cannot imagine the amount of time, work, and intelligence this project required. Your fearless acceptance of what had to be done and your continued dedication to the follow through is so very impressive. Thank you. And I say thank you, not as a French citizen but as a citizen of the world. The whole world benefits.

It’s like she has one eye open now slowly awakening to a bright future.❤
