      @@shearmanmills8427 No surprise you can't spell. And sorry to dispel your ignorance, however his home is 'legit' it can be traced very accurately in ownership. Furthermore, the home of a duke as he is, was a civic building when it was built as they were part of the administration and defence of the nation. I assume you must protest regularly outside all local government buildings built in modern times as tradesman akin to those in the past built those too... Or perhaps you just save your bigotry for idle CZcams comments.

      ​@@Andy_466Ill take your point a bit further. That comment said the Chateau was built by peasants. That's factually incorrect; masons, carpenters, etc. who built things like that were excellent tradesmen. They were highly sought after, well paid and many economists speculate the rise of the middle class was due to the efforts of the trade guilds and merchant class. Don't let idiots try to rewrite history because they're too stupid to understand it.

All the ceilings are beautiful, I am so happy you showed the kitchen it is just stunning; I am so disappointed when they modernize the kitchens in historic homes. thanks for keeping it original. the park views are breath taking. I would love to come and see the entire castle it is simply beautiful, thank you for the tour.

Le duc a une façon de rendre tout ce qu'il dit assez apaisant et vivant à la fois. Étonnamment, monsieur le duc a fait une erreur concernant Anne d'Autriche à 21:58 - Elle était en fait la FEMME de Louis XIII et la mère de Louis XIV.

      C'est pas une fierté. La famille en question est montée en proéminence en exploitant des enfants dans une cuisine et en s'occupant d'oiseaux royaux. Nombre d'aristocrates se sont opposés aux pratiques honteuses de l'ancien régime, mais celle-ci n'en faisait pas partie. Dommage qu'on en ait raté à la guillotine.

    To have a suite of Tapestries is marvelous! Most expensive room of the house, must be for the master or the most distinguished guest! I was thinking, more elaborate curtains for the modern age, but the place for tapestry is the bedroom, and perhaps a few scattered on the walls, other places.
