With all due respect Anna, giving renovation advice is what it's all about. We've spent the last many months watching you and Edd renovate a beautiful mansion. I think that Edd's experience at renovating historical structures speaks for itself.
Edd, you are an accomplished... Fill in the blank. I've seen you build a pool from nothing. You knew what was needed and what you couldn't do by yourself, you contracted. As a former pool salesman, you blew me away. You did an amazing job. It's not San Simeon, but more than adequate.
The travertine paving is top notch, luxurious, beautiful and practical.
The high tech aircon and heat exchanger system is at the very least, enviable.
The attached mother-in-law's unit, the garage and the media room are all winners.
You took a neglected relic and turned into a fabulous modern home. Bravo!
Please do not allow anyone to diminish your accomplishments.
Unlike Château la Gorce, you did this one all on your own. I never saw your parents in a single shot.
Since I began following your vlog, when Stephanie first introduced her followers to Edd, Anna and Château la Gorce, you've proven your worth.
I'm so happy for your success, I can't find words to describe. You weathered Covid lockdowns and your still standing.
You're winners. Take your bows!
❤️from TX!
Totally agree. The pool blew me away as well.
Beautiful chateau and land. Done with many modern furnishings in contrast to the age of the building. Change them with period pieces and warmer tones and it changes the tone which is an easy cosmetic fix. The bones are there and seem to have been modernized. Would love to know age of roof, heating, electric. Out buildings and surrounding land are great possibilities for gites and/or sale? Thank you Edd and Ana for showcasing this beautiful chateau ❤️
In Scandinavia radiators are always under windows to stop the cold from seeping into the room. It's generally cold here, for many months but with this rule of thumb we are quite ok indoors. Even better with isolated windows but if you want to keep the old ones -- definitely have the radiators under the windows!
The radiators should always be placed underneath the windows 🪟, and placing a square aluminum ⬛️ sheet behind each one helps reflect the heat continuously into the room and not to the rear of the radiator... done this feature so many times while living in nyc, and it helps alot.
@Bordeaux Life , @Sazon Man , yes as many have said radiators are placed under the window. Radiators are meant to heat a room with windows open in the winter. This is an innovation from the 1919 Flu pandemic, using fresh air to cycle thru airborne virus. I only know this tidbit of history because it's widespread purpose was innovated in Chicago where I'm from. 😉😉
Our rads were under the window. Cold air falls off the window and the warm air takes that cold air, warms it up and then rises. We also put a reflective barrier between the rad and the wall. It radiated the heat out into the room. Sure is a wonderful way to heat an old house. I imagine the curtains were tied back when the heat was on. Thanks for the tour. Lovely place.
In Canada , radiators and force air heating vents are placed under the windows .
It’s been working for us for more than a hundred years.
I’m from Germany and all radiators are installed under the window, no matter what building. I think it’s done because of airflow.
Under the windows in many countries!!!
It's because windows are often the weakest insulation location. It's less true in modern Western European construction with all the regulation around insulation, passive and low emission buildings. Unfortunately, it makes new constructions much more expensive.
I’m also not one for modern tho it is done very well I would of restored the place back to the original and filled it up with beautiful French antique furniture 🥰
Ed might not have said it, but while he was giving us a tour of the house, I can definitely tell, by reading his facial expression, that he TOTALLY HATED THE RENOVATION OF THE HOUSE!!!
I think that most of his viewers did too.
I love to hear your commentary Edd, you make things so interesting when talking about these historic homes and Anna you know just what questions to ask, you two make a great team!!!
In NYC they have them under the window and often have them enclosed on top IF they blow out the hot air also. But the old ones in general are under the window, they also have additional ones around the room. I really LOVE the fact you are getting down and dirty looking up the fireplace and letting us know what we should be looking for in homes in chateaus etc.. While I am not a fan of modern styling people that are would love this place as a nice combination. I imagine the house was mostly stripped out originally in which case they made great use of what was left of the house. As a woman I would want that bedroom next to the master to be my dressing room aka the old "crying room" my hubby can have the closets. I LOVE the fact you are explaining what else could be done in the house using your professional expertise! Now that is a cool angle to filming :D
Absolutely gorgeous place, thx for bringing us along... Fantastic bargain for the money....
I don't like rads under windows. I hate short curtains so when I close them at night I'd be shutting off the heat, just heating the window. So rads in the room and beautiful long curtains for me. Thanks for another great video 👍🥰
Awww....thank you folks for taking us on such a lovely tour! It was just what I needed as I ate my lunch.
It’s a beautiful chateau and a elegant modern renovation. On the east coast of the United States the radiators are under the windows, but with modern electric heat pump systems the floor vents are typically along exterior walls. Thank you for taking us on this tour. xx
What a great hideaway. Everybody needs a place to escape that is serene and far away from the chaos of the world. I'll never be able to afford a place like this, but I still find the peace and solitude through these videos.
Ed, I love your question about radiators-I hate them under windows!! You can't get to the window to look out and you are right-curtains don't close-get damaged from radiator... Last window leaks hard to get to to repair... people want to stand in front of a window!!!
Breath taking chateau's in Bordeaux.
Furniture is young family appropriate. Kids jumping on antiques, not so much! I loved this place!❤️
Thank you for this beautiful tour. The chateau is beautiful and well kept. I think this is a great price for all of this. I would be happy to just have the caretakers place. It is very tastefully done, and it would be an easy change to redo the decor as one would like. Thank you, Valerie.
It's nice to see other chateaus to compare how they can be lived in and utilized. Thank you for the tour.
This is totally my kind of chateau! All the original features restored, with very modern furniture and fittings. Loved all their lighting choices! 😍
Very nice blend of new and old! Thank you so much for sharing these properties with all of us!
Fabulous 😄 I love tours and Ed's perspective is valuable too. Thanks
The more that I watch your channel, the more I realize Edd that you would excel at a career in real estate. You have many irons in the fire at the moment, so to speak, but your knowledge base is phenomenal when it comes to presenting homes & talking about things that could be upgraded etc. You would definately be an asset to a company & to prospective buyers
I was so delighted to see that this was going to be a château tour! It is beautiful! So many lovely features. I like the fireplace in the kitchen. I like seeing the cave. stairway with the expose stone is lovely. I would love to see the Château in furniture that is of the period or antiques in general. Thank you for this fabulous tour! You both make these videos such fun to watch! Love from Vermont
Thank you so very much for taking us on this tour. So interesting & informative ❤️🇨🇦. You both have such a great talent for filming & narrating.
Great tour of a lovely chateaux! I love that the exterior has all the original features and charm, but I wish the inside had more of the original features too - flooring, decorative ceilings etc.
Loved those stunning walls & floors in the chateau, thanking you for the tour, appreciated.
Oh I could be abit prejudiced but I love the CHATEAU EDD AND ANNA HAVE BEEN WORKING ON. PLUS LA GORCE CASTLE IS ULTRA AMAZING. ITS WOW!!😍 THIS 1.5MIL mini CASTLE is beautiful on the outside but too modern for me on the inside. I think the grounds very lovely also. It makes me wonder how EDD AND ANNA, WOULD HAVE RENOVATED AND DECORATED THIS MINI CASTLE? I THINK EDD likes to keep alot of original stone and wood in his build which is very attractive. Thanks veryuch for the tour of this Mini Chateau.💕
Thank you Edd and Anna for a wonderful tour. I prefer the historical look with modern comforts.
What a lovely chateau, but very modern inside , thanks for sharing your tour of this chateau very nice.x💕🌼🤗
I love the way Anna is with Ed & vice versa. 😍. Projects are so unique & well done. Kids are gorgeous!
This mansion was fabulous! I 👍 like all the unique lights in the rooms & exposed stone walls & wood floors. Loved how Ed described it in detail & Anna reacted, just feels like I was there. ❤️ 💙
That was a wonderful tour of a stunning Chateau thank you for that lovely tour both of you!
Oh my sweet Lord, Ed & Anna glorious home. Picnic in the park looking back at the chateaux. Thank you both so much. Cheers.
Thank you Anna I appreciate your comments and your peace keeper spirit the world needs more people like you .
The facade is so attractive, just beautiful. It's a classic. That cute little turret looking child's playhouse was a dream. I liked the caretaker's stair railings, very attractive. The entrance gates were rather majestic. A lot has been done to modernize the house.
I agree with you Ed. Heating underneath a window becomes useless especially if you want to close the drapery during cold winter nights. The heat becomes trapped. And who wants to leave drapes open on long winter nights.
We can see that the actual howners have great taste. They have made good choices for the chateau in the reno. Really beautiful.
I agree with Edd, I would definitely insulate the very top floor and upscale it to be used.
Thank you Anna and Ed I thoroughly enjoyed looking through that Chateau. It was very very nice. I was expecting Chandeliers everywhere. It had a very modern elegant expensive look. Not that I know much at all about Chateaus. ❤
Love Chateau hunting!
The château itself is very beautiful. But in my humble opinion chateau deserves other decorations something more unique. But anyway is just another opinion
Another beautifully presented Chateau tour by Ed and Anna - thank you both!
Hi, Glad you got comments on radiator effciency. Personally it would be hard for me to interrupt the beauty of the window/drap thing. Perhaps the metal behind the radiators if they were somewhere else would be a good compromise for me. Thank-you for a nice tour. I always think of what I would garden.
I live in Delaware in the States and we have an area nicknamed Chateau Country. Mainly I think because of Granogue although it wasn’t built until 1920 or so. The DuPont family came here in 1800 from Neumours France. The owner, Irenee DuPont just passed away at 103 and the home, to me it’s a castle, was sold to a foundation and supposedly will eventually be opened to the public. I had been in the gate keepers cottage many years ago. Valerie Biden, our Presidents sister lived in it and she had a luncheon for a friend of mine. There’s the Nuemours Estate. Also considered a chateau. It’s open to the public and a children’s hospital is on the property. There’s several other DuPont properties where I live. It just all came to my mind because of Irenee passing away and our Chateau country being in the newd.
I’d say it’s perfect for you guys , a little renovation, church next door , close to freeway ( without hearing it) large downstairs rooms, a few good bedrooms and a manageable garden
I’ve seen many professional home tours and you both presented one of the best, most informative tours I’ve ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
When I see a chateau, I think of authenticity ❤
Thanks for the tour. Your place is more cohesive. 😉
Shout out from Canada! It's going to be -16c tonight and even colder tomorrow..lol..So we know our heating. Love the tour and as far as the heat source here in Canada you always expect to find it under the window or if the heat source is coming from the cellar the heating vents placed in the floor by patio or French doors. If the glass is kept warm with air flow it won't produce condensation, people, pets, cooking, showering etc. all produce humidity and contribute to accumulated condensation. Accumulated condensation on the windows can produce mold growth on the window frames. Perhaps placement depends on the climate you live in and how extreme it is.
That was fun! Thanks for the tour if that magnificent home... i preferred the caretackers cottage.
agree with you about the window thing; its an old fashioned idea - based on modern builds. Recessed windows should be for window seats. remember that chateau never had a heating system except fires. With air source and ground source heat pumps the last place you need a radiator is under a window.
it's also an esthetic thing, the radiators fit perfectly under the windows, it would be horrendous and clunky to have them by the walls between the windows. The lost space and and the broken sight lines would be tragic...
WOW
So beautiful thank you Ed & Anna great tour! Enjoyed from Texas!
I’m with you Ed about the radiators. I think much of the warm air would get lost through the windows.
Be carefull Edd, Anna loves it, I can tell by her voice. I like the old and modern mix, it doesn`t feel like a cold stone castle inside, I can see you and Anna`s brain going a mile a minute, your thinking more liveable space, Anna`s thinking interior decor, get back in your car and drive away as fast as you can, of course I don`t know your finacial position, if Anna loves it , buy it, we would love to see another renovation I tell you that, it`s been great following this one, watching from the states, in Michigan.
Very chic Parisian style. I love this.
I can only say the flooring is beautiful. I can see why a magnificent house like that is only 1.4 million. Sad they didn’t try to restore the house instead of a quick flip.
Even the stairs in the caretakers house had bars for you to be behind Ed 😂
Superbe! Et la déco est vraiment belle et de bon goût!
A lovely home! I like that it’s not over large.😊
Oh such beautiful grounds and love the kitty. I like the layout and brightness in the château. Nice open feeling and clean styled rooms. The modern is well done. Of course yes I’d go more old world but in a light and bright and colorfully accented way. Thank you for the showing.
Thankyou for sharing another wonderful vlog. It’s always beneficial to view other chateau properties to get a different perspective and inspiration on new projects. Thankyou for sharing 😘😘😘😘
A lovely family home. Thank you for sharing it with us
I can see myself in a flowing gown and a glass of champagne stilling each room. Then I wake up. Grrrrrr!
Love your vlog.
Эдд, большое спасибо за видео получилось очень красиво,не обычно то что надо,вы же в нём живёте!!!😊😊😊 Видео про бассейны смотрела тоже очень очень красиво, благодарю вас 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Just fabulous!
Such a beautiful chateau with amazing character. Love the black cat 🐈⬛ as well😻Thanks for sharing 😍😘
wow! beautiful
Very interesting tour . Just for info I do not have any radiators under windows. Which is fortunate as I just changed a couple for the tall type , which are amazing ! Xx
Good question about the placement of radiators. I think that insulating the windows well would take care of the draft problem and having the radiators warm the drafty ones would cost a lot more in heating. Placing them beside the windows makes more sense on many levels.. BUT it creates another problem... You cannot put furniture against the walls then.. and if you also can't put them under a window, you have eaten up your wall space. In a large room that is not a problem really, but normally it is.
Jury is still out.
Beautiful property. Thank you for the tour. Blessings.
Nice! Modernized, but nice!
Very nice tour of this beautiful chateau. I like that they have modernized it as well. Great for a younger family. The grounds are simply gorgeous!
Edd a simple answer to your question about radiator placement is that you can never have enough wall space in any room where furniture and artwork change by additions or deletions over time. Placing heating under or in front of windows makes the best sense as it not only meets the cold air at its source but draperies or curtains can be changed by the season to better control light and airflow. Also, the axis of the house, which way the hallway runs, might possibly be in relation to the path of sunlight and the house's exposure to it as the sun rises and sets over the property and the house.

Just watched this lovely Chateau I put Chateau type furniture back into this but that's just my taste , love it did it ever sell . And Ed first time I have heard u speak French it sounded really good . Thanks Anna for the videoing .
Simply stunning.
You are right about the heater's and I agree with you 💕
I am with you Ed radiators do not belong under windows. More so in modern days where double glazing exists. Under windows are 'the olden days' xxx
The radiators are under the windows to circulate the air. If they are not there, then you have hot head and cold feet. One way in major renovation or new build where people want to have class, (and you have big rooms) is to put the radiator free standing on the floor, bit into the room in front of the windows, so the curtains can go behind the radiator. But it must be in the way of the cold coming from the glass.
Radiators were always under windows to allow for better ventilation while the window is open to clear the rooms of germs, so was the theory back in the days.
Beautifully finished! Nice video. Thank you.
Lovely chateau, even if I would fill it up with antiques as I did in my own home.
Just lovely.
Love the moodiness of the 'dark' rooms
I think you are right Ed about the radiator!!! I would do so too! Fire safety is most important!!!!
Can’t reconcile how large the place looks from the outside with how small the interior seems and how small rooms are
Thankyou, that was lovely.
Thanks for the tour! Its a beautiful home.
Lovely to look round a chateau. Although we live in confolens we have never been in one as yet . Its Pampas grass , nice for displaying the flowers .My husband and I enjoy watching your vlogs , we are renovating our small house in france. A bit late , but happy new year you yourselves and family.
Just Lovely!!
Beautiful chateau, i like the fact it has been renovated to a more modern look, it suits the building.
My house has radiator heat and all of them are on the walls not under the windows.i live in Iowa in the United States....
The radiators should go under the window to create a warm shield infront of the window. The windows should be well kept and atleast doubleglass.
If you ever lived in a cold country you know that. Glass is not insulating. It is the air or in modern windows the gas inbetween.
It is very nice done with the mordern accent. It really make the old parts stand out.
Edd, I agree with you. Heaters on the wall, close the curtains. I don't think I would even buy a house any other way. Keep the cold out and ALL the heat in. I would be afraid of a fire. I know, no open flame but I would still worry. Fun stuff.
i really love it!
I feel for Valery who has to part with her lovely Chateau. It is so well renovated one can see all the love she has ut in to it! I do not watch the whole Video because to me it is a bit like turning a knife in a wound. But yes, I I love your channel ; ) Greetings from Spain!
Visually I do not like radiators in front of windows. Beautiful lil chateau!!
One reason I don't like the heater under the windows is that one can not have closing drapes. Drapes that also help in keeping the cold at bay. If lined drapes are drawn, then the heater on to the side, it would be far more fuel efficient. I would put decorative tops on the heaters, acting like a table one can put art on or hang art above it.
