    Vous insufflez une passion à faire visiter ce château qui est véritablement contagieuse. Il est réellement louable que vous usiez de la langue anglaise, permettant ainsi à une audience plus vaste de découvrir ce trésor français.

    Damn, the French knew how to decorate a house!

    You did a great job as always. I know it is nothing you did but I found the costumes on mannequin’s distracting from the rooms instead of enhancing them.
    Your videos are always top notch and just enough information without to much to make it boring
    I would love to see more on important houses of the world, maybe focusing on the ones that get overlooked

    Loved to see this chateau. Once in a while it’s a good idea to show other mansions, but still enjoy all the American houses.

    @LJB103 Před 11 měsíci +11

    Yes, please do videos on houses outside the US. From all that I've read about Madame de Pompadour, I suspect that had she lived in the later 20th century she would have been either a renowned decorator or the head of a luxury goods conglomerate. Excellent video

    Such breathtaking beautiful elegance!! From the chandeliers and stenciled ceilings to the beautiful marble & parquet floors. The well appointed furnishings and lovely sweeping staircases . Such beauty that I have dreamed of and adored in photographic books at the public library when I was as young and dreamed about what it would be like to be amongst such elegance and splendour. But of cours I am well into middle age years today and have a very minimalistic middle class plain apartment and modest furnishings. But a lady can dream ⭐️💯😊🌺🇨🇦🇨🇦🌸☀️

    I had no idea Madame Pompadour had her own home that you can visit! I always figured she was tucked away in the palace somewhere. Absolutely stunning.

    French 💯 ! English Victorian "15"
    The French nail Chateaus, Goose Patte', Veal, Oysters Bienville, and Pastries.
    They had/have Class when it comes to their Style, interior and exterior, most appealing smooth walls painted in Cream, Soft Pinks, Yellows, Louie Blue, even their French Country Style is far more desirable over Victorian.
    This is a Beautiful Chateau.
    It just asks to be gazed upon and enjoyed.

  • @bobl4419
    @bobl4419 Před 11 měsíci

    Love this video it's really well done thank you. Having been to hundreds of chateaus in France I can honestly say this is probably one of the most beautiful ones ever. It's one of those rare chateaus that you could actually live in it's not so big and it's not so small. Another spectacular chateau which you could actually live in is chateau Chenoncaux in the lower valley. And it's also known as The chateau of the Dames because it's owners were mostly women and mistresses of the king

    Notwithstanding its historical importance and influence in design I feel Carolands is far better executed with its central stairs and skylight. Both are beautiful.

  • @cassandraralph5906
    @cassandraralph5906 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Beautiful chateau and gardens. Not fond of the clothed mannequins, which cluttered the rooms, and also adultery. The video was a little bit too fast for me to keep up with, but still very interesting. Thank you

    I 💕 love this home! How do I know? It’s the first time I’ve called it “this home” instead of this house! As probably only Ken would know it’s only missing an offset turret topped with a cone. Damn the French for their style and grace, as to make me grovel for a blueprint! 🥰😚

  • @williamtyre523
    @williamtyre523 Před 11 měsíci

    Very interesting video. The house reminds me a bit of Carolands, the house built by George Pullman's daughter Harriet in California. I wonder if the architect of her house was familiar with this building and used it as inspiration??

    The outside facade and gates and the foyer remind me of the Beverley Hillbillies mansion. LOL I know that the house on the television show really does exist in California...but, I wonder if they based the California house on this chateau?

    I always wonder where these souls live today. For all eternity their lavish life styles concluded in the earthly realm..........but where are they now? Are their eternal accommodations as lavish as they were in the earthly realm? My thought is they never concerned themselves w/ the afterlife......something to think about.

    @Maliceless100 Před 11 měsíci

    It's a beautiful house and history, but I'd stick to American (and rarely Canadian) houses. Two things that grow the THIS HOUSE trusted brand are 1.) "you"ness expertise including story and editing choices; and 2.) subjects themselves - reliably Americana. You dilute the specialness of your niche if you start touring houses abroad. Of course your job becomes more exciting if it takes you around the world, but the job you do here is done better than anyone else as far as I can see.
