This was classic Michael, knowledgeable, well spoken, funny, courteous, and enthusiastic. His charisma draws us in and we are charmed. I love it.
very well said!!
Yes! He should become a professional Chateau Consultant! Help all the new Chateau owners with his expertise! He can tackle ANYTHING!
Don’t you wish you could go back in time, even just for one day to see these beautiful Chateau’s in their prime . They must have been glorious!
You know what? I love watching what these guys do to bring these buildings to the 21th century.
I for one would love to see them as they were originally
Thank God there are people restoring these grand beauties. They've done a lot in 6 months.
Yes, when I realized how little time they have been there- they are working very hard.
@@birds-and-blooms too right !
First off Andrew has done a great job of playing cameraman. We’ll done! I hope you’ll go back to this place again and show us the progress. All the best to the owners!
I saw this up for sale last year its lovely to see how they are doing. Do keep us updated. Can't believe that they are litterally a stones throw from me. As I am am near the church. The beautiful bells start at at 7am and finish at 8pm. The full peels are 8am, midday and 8pm. They also mark the 1/4 hour. The church is worth a visit too. Thanks for sharing this Michael
This chateau has so much character and potential, would love to see an update at some point in the future 💜
Me too💚
Me three!
Me four!
Me 5 x ❤
Thanks Carole and Adrian for letting Michael and Andrew bring us along to your your gorgeous Chateau, It’s a real gem 🏰 💎😊
I enjoyed every minute of that Michael. What lovely friends to have close by. You & Andrew make a good team 😊 The music at the end was perfect … reflecting the beauty waiting to be restored. Thank you Michael.. these daily videos make me smile 💕
I agree !!! Many thanks to Michael !!
@Donna Griffis Yes, Andrew is a great videographer! Thanks Michael and Andrew!
I so admire someone willing to take on such an massive job. Saving history!!!
Please extend our thanks to the owners for allowing us a glimpse into their home.
Andrew is doing a good job of being the camera man. wow, lots of work.
He's really good at it too!
@@WinstonSmithGPT Yeah I feel a little bit bad for him having to film all these conversations that use a lot of technical English, that he can probably hardly understand at the speed at which it's spoken. I would love it if a native Spanish speaker could caption Michael's vlogs so he can see them all like we do.
@@Billkwando Great idea-that would be helpful in him understanding what is going on. It must be bewildering for him.
What a beauty! I think I'd feel so overwhelmed, I'd sit down on the floor and cry. They are so brave. Loved the video, Michael. Can you keep us updated on their progress? It's fascinating to watch these transformations.
I was pretty much crying on the inside while watching. My chest got so tight. I could see floating euro signs as she spoke!
@@cindland me too. My goodness that’s a lot of work.
You can click on their name in the comment and subscribe so when they start their channel u can see their progress. Just a thought
So glad to see this chateau finally being rescued after seeing it on many other CZcams channels.
Both Michael and Andrew are doing great work in getting these videos out each day, you definitely have to go back and view the outbuildings!!!!!!
On a personal note, I do hope you keep up this style of video and maybe a similar amount, as long as it remains as enjoyable for you both as it does us!
Andrew is getting really good at filming Michael's vlogs !
The filming and music have grasped the beauty of this hidden gem Well Done!
If I heard Michael saying "hello any one in?" at my front door, I would be so happy.
This place needs so much tlc but what a stunning home it will be when it’s done. A true diamond in the rough.
Dear heavenly days - my soul was just gripped by the beauty and the almost insurmountable amount of work there is to do on that hauntingly beautiful place. By two people.
As always, you’ve captured a bit of French history in your exquisite video
Wow... Since his first CZcams, I have always loved watching Michael at work doing what he does best when it comes to renovations and sharing his experiences with others. This was another amazing video to watch and as usual, Michael sharing his tips on how to renovate certain areas is priceless. Well done to Andrew with your brilliant recording. You have a gift Andrew and I also wanted to know what was the name of the Piano song that was playing at 26:56 ??
Stay the course, Michael. Only 4 more vlogs to make 7 and each one has been great. You can do it! 👏
Oh what a treat thank you Michael. Loved the tour. The piano music and video clips with a little bit of wind sound was beautiful. So enjoying the vlogs.
I'm enjoying your daily vlogs. They're seemingly easy and relaxed--I hope they're that way for you, too.
Michael, so good of you to give recommendations for cleaning and repairs. You have much to offer.
This was a wonderful adventure. I admire the owners so very much. They have a vision. I would love to see the outbuildings too! Thanks.
I love seeing the progress of building projects! These buildings are so beautiful so thank you for sharing them!
Please go back and visit this chateau in the future! I’d love to see more of it
If you are interested in the ‘earth mix’ flooring and why it was there (and are in the Uk) check out Little Moreton Hall (National Trust). This quirky Tudor building is slowly being rescued and currently has an excellent view of one of these floors being replaced. Having seen a few of these on chateau programmes I enquired and am told were used as they were excellent fire retardants (important in wooden structures), sound insulators, were cheap to put in and incredibly light (like pumice). Oh and the one at the Hall had an egg white finish so it gleamed like polished white concrete!
The ancient beauty is a melody
A melody of times gone by--
Of tears and joy and love and laughter--
The ancient beauty breathes
and lives-- and waits for a new day
Beautifully said
love this Michael - Great to see something in the earlier stages of renovation. Your enthusiasm comes through so naturally here ;)
What a charming chateau, it has so much potential and such lovely owners. I do hope you will take us back again once some more work has been done. Thank you Michael. Amazing videography and love the music too.
Oh I loved the tour and loved sweet Carole!! What a sweetie! Please let her know that we would love updates on their progress and wish them well! I salute you and anyone else that takes on such a monumental task!!! OMG!!! Love from USA!
Subscribe to them as they will be putting videos out here on yt soon. Or not. A thought...🤔🤠
Bravo to Andrew. He's doing some lovely filming. Steady hand and showing all the details in that huge château. They have a long way to go. They must have just bought it. All these rich Brits buying up French château. I am really just jealous. I loved the cat too.
Keep the vlogs coming. Doing a wonderful job.
So beautiful. Andrew is a really good cameraman, considering he is new to this. I have to add, normally I start to get a little bored with daily vlogs (but I still watch them and enjoy them), but Michael, you are putting out first quality content every day so far...I am really enjoying it.
Michael you have done a lovely job with the vlogs this week. You bring so much knowledge and tremendous insights from your restoration work. You are quite the renaissance man with DIY, decoration, food, music and eve hairdressing. I look forward to tomorrow’s vlog. Pls do bring us back from to this chateau sometime so we can see how they are progressing. I’ll check out the link too but you do such a great job of commentating would be good to have another tour from you.
Stunning Chateau. Thank you for allowing us to see your Home!
Andrew has done such a wonderful job with the camera!!!! 🥳👏👏👏 Such fun to see a different property that is being jazzed up!! I know it's probably a lot of work but it's great to have a video each day Michael!!! 😀
You are killing it with these videos! Thank you for coming back to us!
❤️ Another brilliant very interesting video Michael, lovely couple too. Congratulations Michael, it’s great to have you back. Andrew is doing well filming too ❤️
Wow, thank you for including us in the tour Michael....as usual fantastic music...you have such excellent taste and your knowledge is something else!
We’re enjoying Andrew’s vloging and so glad that you’re looking out for his safety. I hope you’al are teaching English to lesson his frustrations. Please come back and show us their improvements.
Always love to see other Chateaus being brought back to life! Great to see you EVERY DAY! WOW
You and Andrew make a great team. I am sure he makes the work more fun and he is great with the camera!
Loved this. What a lovely couple. And WOW, that's a big job, but is still beautiful. Imagine if those walls call talk. I get so chuffed seeing people embarking on these types of adventures, they're hard, tough, test one to the ends of the earth at times, but it's awesome to see the courage and attitude of people who are willing to get their hands in. LOVE IT!
Micheal, I'm loving your daily videos!
Yesterday's chateaux was gorgeous ... The original mouldings, woodwork etc. I would be really interested to see their progress. Also if you do help this couple ie. silicone mouldings that would make even more great content.
Thanks so much for this daily vlog! It actually gets released online just as I wake up and start preparing breakfast (I live in Japan) .
Michael, you must be the sweetest person ever… loved how you offered to help total strangers even though you have so much work cut out for yourself already! And the best thing is… we all know you mean it!
Please take care of yourself and think about getting some “you times “. Thanks for the always amazing job.
What a lovely chateau and a lovely couple. I have to admit, just watching this vid makes me feel overwhelmed! Bravo to all the owners who are bringing these beauties back to life. Well done Michael!
I am glad that you have some helpful hints to help with their restoration. It will be very beautiful to see it all redone. Thanks for the tour.
Oh, Michael, you have done such a wonderful job every day but this was great seeing what you might’ve taken on years ago. I especially loved the montage of the scenes of the house and garden with your beautiful music.
Andrea, thank you for such amazing video quality. No shaking, no panning so fast I feel giddy, focussing in on just the right things - magnifico. More of this please guys. Michael, would love to see you do the casting of the moulds; it would be an interesting video.
What a wonderful tour. This is going to be another gem. Michael I love the way your eyes light up when you spot something you really like.
🇨🇦❤️What a beautiful chateau, Michael!
Thank you so much for sharing this and I hope you’ll revisit these lovely people periodically to show us their progress. (Naturally, I’ve just subscribed to their CZcams channel).
The music at the end is exquisite and I’d be so happy if you or any of the other viewers could identify it for me, please. It’s so evocative and haunting that it brought back some precious long-ago memories.
Thank you Michael for sharing
your neighbors...
I adore this Chateau it's very beautiful.. they need more workers"
Doing this renovation on there own,
At least you had Billy and Gwin,
Then the rest of your family.
I was imagining how it was in its glory day's.. and what I saw was beautiful, truly 🕊
I was thinking perhaps when you rewire there chandelier you can video that" as well please..😚👍
And give us updates on there progress 🥰
I'm very much appreciate and
Love seeing the more vlogs...

Absolutely loved it. Watched it twice to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Following Carole and Adrian on CZcams & Instagram.
Thank you.
Such a lovely couple. Michael you make every visit a treat filled with knowledge & interest.
thankyou michael the quality of your videos are amazing
Again, a super video Michael! Fascinating to see this amazing chateau. The owners face a huge project but their enthusiasm, laughter and hard work will win through. Looking forward to updates here. Thanks.
What a marvellous house! And fun to see it from the beginning, before the nitty-gritty work is done!
Thank you for the video Michael.
Michael, thanks for the tour of your neighbors Chateau de LA Ferte. Looking forward to their channel. Beautiful place and boundless potential. Janice from Arkansas USA.
This place is going to be beautiful when it's finished. Watching from the Southern Tier of the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York USA
I really enjoy this history of the Chateau De La Ferte. Michael thank you for sharing.
Loved this vlog it is amazing how different every chateau is ! Thank you Michael and yes I want to see out buildings.
I thought the modesty doors were for the chaimbermaids to collect the pots without bothering the sleepers?
Very lovely home with so much potential!
Thank you for the tour 💜
Michael make a video of doing the silicon mold of the scroll work on the walls that were breaking in pieces. I would like to see that.
We appreciate you sharing this vlog. Fun to see the beginning progress of a Chateau.
Great artistic shots Andrew!!!! I am loving these daily vlogs, Michael!
What a beautiful chateau this once was and will be again someday. I’m so envious that you got to tour this beauty and the owners were so gracious. Andrew did a super job of filming. As in the past, your b-roll was exquisite. Keep up the nice work, Michael. Maine USA
Very best of luck to the owners, stunning chateau.. Great video Andrew 😘
It makes me so happy to see your vlog everyday Michael! Keep up the good work! 👏💞
The lightning behind the Chateau at the very beginning was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! - I could so see myself living in this Chateau . . . after it has been restored of course! - Kindly have their people call my people. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
What a lovely couple - Totally admire their drive to renovate that wonderful home. You must revisit Michael and show us the outbuildings, such a fabulous project.
Oh it would be so cute if you made them a rose cake or something to thank them for the lamp and tour💛
Beautiful camera work from Andrew and great video Michael XXX Thankyou you both XXX
Thank you for introducing us to this lovely couple and their chateau! I look forward to following their CZcams channel.
I’m seeing this in 2023 Feb. The work that Carole has done in the salon and the dining room is immense and the results are astonishingly beautiful. It’s now hard to believe they are the same rooms!
The birth of a chateau in renovation….I feel like the musical composition as we walked around the chateau was an ode to the building that you wistfully let go.
Hi Michael, beautiful features at every turn in this chateau. Enjoyed the tour and your new neighbors seem calm, and happy to be there. You are so helpful with all your input for them.
What a gorgeous chateau! Totally my taste! Loved the high ceilings! Some of them don’t have that. I wish you would have gotten it back in the day! It would probably be finished by now..the owners were lovely people though! So very nice! 🥰
Thank you Michael and Andrew for taking us to view the chateau. OMG they have soooo much work to do there 😱 I look forward to seeing it as the work proceeds
My Grandma used cold tea on wooden floors to help stain, now I am 66yrs old. Also she used o’Ceder oil and a mop that she kept a plastic bag over, so she would use the mop to go over and pick up dust.
That’s a job for Carol doing the top of the stairway on the scaffolding. She’s so good at that.
Watching this episode was like turning time back to your beginning vlogs on you tube. You are in your element when roaming through brocants and old buildings. I hope you're joy has returned for ever.
Wow, beautiful Chateau Michael! Thank you for taking us on the tour!🇨🇦❤️
A beautiful home. You can see what work is needed in each room and can only imagine the time it will take :-)
Amazing chateau, will be good to see the outbuildings another time.
To achieve that 'relief' effect she could use a stencil with a plaster mix, there are quite a few videos that show how to do this, sometimes on furniture. The Russians are brilliant at this type of thing. It would be worth a try if she likes that effect.
Maybe once you get the GC finished you can find a small property to fix up & sell. Do that enough times and you can buy your own petite chateau.
For the many hours I have spent along with others during this unnerving time each Chateau have been wonderful. Am so thankful for all of you to show us the amount of time and effort you are putting in restoring them. Michael, you and Andrew are a wonderful team of editing and filming. Great job. Thank you.
What a lovely little lantern
France must appreciate that there are so many brits & yanks that are buying these dilapidated chateaus. How sad that they've been let go for so long. Mind you, if they hadn't, they'd cost quite a bit more. Good luck to that couple. They have their work cut out for them. Michael you have to be one of the most kind, positive, and charming people ever. You're such a delight! ❤️
Michael you looked so alive in this video. It is so obvious to me that your passion lies in the vision and creation from the way you light up when suggesting how to approach restoration. It was wonderful to see you so animated.
Beyond stunning. An absolute treasure.
I am always amazed in the hidden architecture of the builders.
Beautiful beyond words.
Loved the vlog!! You are very knowledgeable about at lot of different things.
Doing well so far Michael and Andrew. ❤ See you tomorrow🥰
I feel so sad thinking what would the people who built and loved this chateau would think seeing it in this state! It’s so fantastic that it will get restored! So much work but it looks like this gem is in good hands! 👍
I love this! It makes my heart so happy to see these châteaus being nurtured and given new life! I look forward to updates!
Well done Michael on another great vlog; also well done to the camera man too😃🥰
I really like the owners of this Chateau, seem really friendly. The house will be stunning when it's finished
It would be so nice if you can come back every once in a while for a little update on the renovations ☺️
The panelling can be absolutely outstanding, fully restored, that ceiling rose in the salon!
Love the chateau, Best vlog you have done for a long time ..Your camera man is excellent at filming x
Loved the b roll! Loved all of it really
Michael knows how to work a wick. Yesterday he showed us exactly what to do.👍😂❤️
