There are over 40,000 château in France - i think they deserve rather longer than this.
45000 plus exactement 😊 y a plus de châteaux que de commune en France
Fontainebleau is my personal favorite French palace, simply for how many significant events and people have been there. I highly recommend going there if you ever get a chance. I think you'd really appreciate how unique its details are. I'd love to visit the Loire and Chenonceau, myself, if I ever get to go back.
Merci pour ce message à propos de Fontainebleau ! Je suis natif de cette ville et je vis à Avon, juste à coté.
C'est une région merveilleuse :) La foret, le château, la proximité de la capitale et un terroir agricole riche ( Le Gatinais, La Brie...)
Venez visitez !!

Thank you for this message about Fontainebleau! I'm a native of this town and live in Avon, right next
It's a wonderful region :) The forest, the Chateau the proximity of the capital and a rich agricultural land (Le Gatinais, La Brie...)
Come visit !!
Chambre is bedroom, but it may be chamber too. the final "e" is not pronounce so chambr, not chamber. Château can be a place, a renaissance or a medieval castle, or a wine production domain. That’s why you may visit very different buildings. If you like this kind of building, look at the Vallée de la Loire. During Renaissance, a lot of noble people had a palace there. The area is amazing!
It's nice to see that you're interested in the history and castles of France, but have you heard of the Cathar castles, which are located in the south-west of France?
Their location is just mind-blowing, they are called the "Citadels of Vertigo".
The best known are Montségur, Quéribus, Peyrepertuse, Lastours, Aguilar, Puilaurens, Carcassone... there are many more! I myself live in a small village (Dourgne) where there was one, but it was unfortunately destroyed in 1212 by Simon de Montfort and his troops, during the "Albigensian Crusade" (La Croidade des Albigeois").
I've searched on CZcams and haven't seen any reaction to it yet. I think you'd like it! I'll say no more and let you do your research on this exciting part of French history, and hope for a react from you about these castles and the history of the Cathars.
Yeah it's a common myth or misconception that Chambord has 365 fireplaces. There are """only""" 282
"Chiara" is an Italian name and the lovely guide's accent is Italian ...
Beautifull vidéo en not to mutch speaking, yes France is very nice. I am french celtiques Roots from Brittany -France, Living in Paris en now in Nederland.
I speak tree linguistique French Nederland Engels. Good day to you.
We just don’t construct beautiful buildings like this anymore which is very sad
In the Napa Valley in California. One crazy men built one
I mean, you don't dress like bozos of the time neither, but yeah, could build great places again, but at the cost of, a lot of compromises we can't afford now, even the one we build, like the ancient Epoques, it's the oligarques orders, not states ones.
May i recommend you, sir, to watch a documentary about Versailles if you have not already seen one. It is, for me at least, the most magnificient palace we have in France, an unsurpassable monument to refinement, elegance and luxury, the greatest offering made by France on the shrine of Beauty.
Actualy 282 fireplaces warmed the 426 rooms of the castle of Chambord whose initial plans are by Leonardo da Vinci.
Josephine de Beauharnais was not from a royal lineage. You are thinking about Marie-Louise Léopoldine Françoise Thérèse Josèphe Lucie de Habsbourg, eldest daughter of Francis the first of Habsbourg last emperor of the HRE.
He divorced the first in 1810 to marry the second.
hi! you are correct the french world for room is " chambre" ( pronounced chambrrr)
Chambre is bedroom more specifically. Pièce is any room.
@@aidanclarke6106 non c'est ou c'était la chambre à coucher
You can tell if a building is French when it has a roof with windows sticking out of it, you can tell if it is a French palace if the roofs of the windows sticking out of the roofs have more windows with roofs sticking out of them. The French love windows sticking out of roofs.
1:00 i love the french accent ... she s italian
Fountain bleu is. The only one I remember visiting when I went on a school trip. It was stunning, more excited by the gardens usually than the buildings though.
It's Fontainebleau ^^
I want a painting of my 3 favourite mistresses. What could go wrong ? 😂
And naked of course 😅
@@alexandrelandel4246 - As a naturist, I didn't even notice 😁😁
10:57 chamber is the English word derived from chambre which means bedroom.
and a room is just une pièce in French.
Napoleon has had 2 wives... the first one was Joséphine, then he divorced (but kept her more or less around, she joined him in exile) then he married the Austrian princess to obtain an alliance with austro-hungarian empire. He had a son with her, surname "l'Aiglon" and would have been known as Napoleon II... that explains louis-Napoleon, nephews of napoleon took the name of Napoleon III when he took the power by being elected president of the second republic (after 1848 revolution) then was voted Life President then Emperor of the French by referendum (plebiscite)... Just for your information. Joséphine was the first and true Love of napoleon, but as the high autorities of every countries of this time, he had numerous mistresses (in which a famous Polish girl which some historians said he had a kid too)...
Joséphine did not join Napoleon in exile. She died at her mansion of Malmaison near Paris on May 29, 1814, just after Napoleon was sent to his first exile place at the Isle of Elba on May 3, where he remained until February 1815.
As said in the video, it was his second wife who was a Habsburg and the daughter of Francis II.
There's also a Napoléon throne room in the Louvres museum.
7:09 The "Chambord Château" is litterally the chateau of "Celestial Dragons" (IDK how to say it in english) in One Piece. It's exactly the same.
Exquisite episode.
A time when sizes and budgets were irrelevant...for the king, of course!
So, Connor, you've discovered there's more to life & living outside the Anglophone sphere. And there's so much more to see in Europe before you start on other Continents...
Difficile de faire + 30 Km en France sans voir de 🏰 😂
Hey Connor. You were asking for suggestions. Have you seen anything on the SAS when they stormed the under siege Iranian embassy in London 1980?
If you are interested, the best one I have seen on it is put up on you tube by "Elite military forces" - "SAS Iranian embassy siege documentary operation Nimrod" Bit shorter than the original version I think, but very good.
One of the guys that was there said this was the best account anyway.
Cheers Connor.
As you have seen, medieval castles are different from Renaissance castles, which are themselves different from Enlightenment castles, etc...
on the accents... your American accent is as sexy to an European/Asian/South American/African/middle east chick as my knife-cut French accent is sexy to all other civilizations outside of Europe, I have experienced this many times in my professional career which has led me to travel all over the world. It's even a funny feeling to perceive you have an advantage over the local men just because of your accent and the 'clichés' associated, and you can use that in your favor.
in French, 'chambre' refers more to bedrooms. the word 'pieces' is used to quantify the number of rooms (all uses combined);
And remember my American friends, the vast majority of you are descendants of Europeans, and it's ok to be white ;) ;) ;) ;)
The woman in thered dress is actually italian and has an italian accent haha
282 fireplaces so no not for every day of the year 😂
Wow, still same order of magnitude.
Fontainebleau (pronounce fontaynblow) is very near Paris
You rightly caught it, there are real and fake chateaux. Especially in the Bordeaux wine region, except for a couple of exceptions, the so-called chateaux are in fact large wineries with at best a mansion in the middle.
La France et le pays ou il y a le plus de châteaux au monde et c'est juste normal pour plusieurs raisons 1 les châteaux sont née en France 2 la France et entourée d'ennemis Angleterre, Allemagne, Autriche, Italie, Espagne c'est le pays ayant le plus de frontière avec des ennemis donc normal de protéger sont territoire de toute part 3 l'époque féodal français à eu des duché très puissants Normandie, Bretagne, burgonde Plantagenêt etc... Des seigneurs très puissants qui pour protéger le territoire construisé beaucoup de châteaux. Je suis français dans chaque commune de France y a des châteaux d'ailleurs y a plus de châteaux que commune en France on dénombre plus 45000 châteaux pour 36000 communes dans mon département il y a plus de 1000 châteaux on l'appelle le département au mille châteaux.
The French know "pretty".
You're never going to leave New England, are you Connor? You're looking at all these wonderful places and you still haven't a clue, do you?
The British royal family brings in loads of tourist money, so I feel sorry for the French losing so much money with just empty palaces
It's about potential. It's a fact that random American tourists are invited for tea with a royal. An English speaking royal no less .Now that's a subtle difference with France (certainly worth hundreds of millions ;) .
The places mentionned in the video bring in a net positive in revenue. The issue comes with smaller/less known places. And in that regard historical sites that are costly to maintain don't fare that much better in the UK.
True but honestly France as a country is more beautiful with a great variety of landscapes, architecture styles and climate. You sometimes just have to drive for 2 hours and feel in a totally different country. France is the most visited country in the world with 80M tourists every year.
Tu crois que Versailles perd de l'argent c'est juste le château le plus connu et plus visité au monde 😂😂😂 rigolo
Chenonceau : Both gardens have a history! in fact Diane de Poitiers was the mistress of King Henri II and the owner of the Chateau (received as a gift by the King), she loved to relax in the garden. on the death of the King, Queen Catherine de Medicis, out of revenge and resentment (she suffered adultery for over 20 years ^^), took over the chateau and had a new garden built (the small one) so as not to wander in the existing garden :). From France
You should ask for Macron’s hat as he is the new age Napoleon 😂🤣 and it’ll be millions less cheaper 😂🤣
Chateau : Castle, Chateaux : Castles from France
