    This is her second video tour of the Château that I've seen. Both have been thorough and highly informative. Her knowledge of the Château and the surrounding gardens is quite impressive.
    The Château is magnificent, inside and out. How fantastic that it's still inhabited and lovingly maintained by her family.
    Merci, Madame! Merci beaucoup!

    Thank you for this translation! I am starting to become obsessive about the French chateau life, buying and reading books and subscribing to many CZcams channels about it. The Chateau de Lude is magnificent and at the top of my visit ASAP list! Madame de Nicolay is such a brilliant wealth of knowledge. Merci encore pour cette belle visite.

    My favorite part of the tour was Eduoard Andre and his Gravity-pressured watering system which not only provided garden irrigation but also supplies the kitchen and the laundry cistern. FASCINATING. Mme Barbara de Nicolay is so well-rounded in her knowledge and so generous to share all the history -- Thank you so much !

    What a wonderful tour of La Lude. We were able to tour this beautiful chateau last August so it was enjoyable to see the rooms we saw in person, as well as to see the rooms that were not included in the tour that day.

    😳 It's true that every time I discover a chateau thanks to you,I am impressed as they are all fantastic,but this time I am genuinely Lost for words! It's absolutely incredible. Majestic. I was watching with open mouth from start to end. I stopped,I zoomed different parts staring at details. Every cm of the chateau is extraordinary. The styles,details,those warm colours,the systems that she is explaining in different parts,the history...the library-O my God...the linen room,the dining room used every day,the bedrooms,the kitchen/ one of my favourite parts in every chateau/,those stunning stairs,floors,ceilings,original furnitures with the spirit of old times. The attention to detail and ornaments is beyond incredible. I am so impressed, I can't even organise my thoughts. It's so incredible to be able to see rooms and private rooms, that are usually not open for public,or just very rare as it was said. Those old clothes/dresses,the uniforms with colors of the chateaux are so rare to see. Countess Barbara de Nicolaÿ is remarkable! It was very generous of her, to open the doors of certain parts of the castle for us to see. Thank you,So Chateaux, for this amazing episode. From today, one of my dreams/plans is to visit Chateau du Lude!
