@@rekkinregen There's lots of this type of work in the U.S. as well, it's simply a matter of scale. Less than 5% of all Americans will live in a home with this level of craftsmanship so you don't see it as much in such a young country. To blame a globally dying craft (due to the emergence of technology) on a single country which is 1/20th of the global population is asinine at best and idiotic at worst. Your delicate sensibilities don't determine how the world works.
@@rekkinregen I don't know about the situation in France, but in North America there are definitely people who mourn the loss of traditional crafts--or old buildings--to the march of modernity. It just isn't as profitable for craftsmen to stay in their trade anymore, and not everyone is able to afford the prices they would need to charge to stay in business.
yeah lol im from india and i see countless historical sites, houses and mansions in ruins with little left, since many of these buildings would have their bricks and stones removed and repurposed,
"rich young chap" - no way he done some of these things by himself. Takes a lifelong skilled worker to master some of these techniques.. It is just money lol. Same goes for buying chateo in france..
@@janvrabec3401 You are kinda wrong, his parents started with not much in life, they bought their first Chateau many years ago and renovated it. Through hard work they were able to buy another one an renovated it again. They repeated the process many times and now his family owns I think 6 Chateaux. They are 4 siblings, each has a Chateau and they all literally dedicated their lives to them. As Edouard said, he already has 10 years or more of experience renovating Chateaux, as since a child he is doing it with his parents. They are now living off from the revenues of tourism and get to make some money out of their activities through their many Chateaux, but they are not rich, they just love our french heritage and vow to take care of what our ancestors left us, unlike most french people.
@@Pl89ukAgreed inheriting money isn't impressive, but he's doing good things with it. Restoring a château that used to be only for the rich, and opening it for everyone to enjoy (I mean, an escape room with a historic cellar and apothecary? That's awesome!). Of course this will make him money after it breaks even, but I don't think he's doing it just for the money. He's restoring a historical gem.
I am awed and impressed by all the chateau owners willing to dedicate decades and millions of euros to the restoration of these expansive and detailed homes. And most of them seem to be French and I once thought that they're cavalier about historic chateaux, b/c they take them for granted. More importantly, I assumed they stirred resentment as relics of oppressive times.
@@zandercerlong7238 You can't tour a house as a worksite, so paid visiting wasn't possible, so? The Govt supported the restoration with partial funding, where do you think the rest came from? Govt funding helps put money back into the economy, helps train & support local artisans, while also setting up assistance for job creation. It helps to keep artisan suppliers in business and, on top of that, supports the region as a whole. The cost of maintenance on these houses is tremendous.
The owner is to be commended on all the dedication and work he’s put into this beautiful château when this place is finished it’ll be absolutely stunning. I am from USA but would love to come and see this place when it’s all done.
It is so good to see the restoration is being done to match its age. Some new chateau owners are decorating in a more contemporary design and personally I find that a shame. Well done on your progress so far
Exceptional! Once all is done,it will be truly magestic place. Hard work indeed. I am always drawn to the kitchens of those chateaux,I don't know....there's something about it. The young owner is such a charmer. Apparently with great knowledge as well. A must place to visit. I will plan to do so. Super episode 👍
I'm happy to see someone like you to care for the historic past just like my partner and I did it where we restored the decayed gilded age mansion in Williamstown Massachusetts
This chateau is being restored correctly. Others make changes to their chateaus, so though they call them restorations, they really aren’t. But, this is amazing. This is the way it should be done.
Stunning restoration! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You are an amazing young man! Thank you for saving history the way it was, not the way we expect it in 2024! What you are doing is remarkable. It is an enormous castle! The first rule of old old homes: KEEP IT DRY !!! You are so smart!
Holy Cow! What a tremendous successful effort. France is made strong by those who cherish its past. Keep on going. The workers are definitely skilled. Great natural landscaping and gardens. I hope to travel there one day.
Je suis tellement impressionné par toi ! Brillante entreprise. Je me connecterai autant que possible. En tant que professionnel de l'intérieur et de l'architecture. Mon enthousiasme pour votre travail acharné est vraiment ressenti du cœur ! 🤎 Keep progressing, brilliant work!
Three million euros is such a small amount for the restoration of the external walls and entire roof. I know there's much more work to go however the ongoing costs are not that bad given what a magnificent property this is and what will eventually be very beautiful and liveable. I want one.
Edouard: Out of all the chateaux's shown on youtube YOURS is the most beautiful, to me. The bones of the Chateaux you chose have the most symetry, respect of space to allow functionality to the square footage. I like that it is not just a Big structure to show off for the owners ego, but a thought provoking measurment of Design. The scale of the inside is relative to the outside and to the land it sits on with my favorite idea of "Function follows Form (design"" and you still come out ahead of the game! I hope there will be more films of you showing the efforts you have taken to restore the Chateaux, the pains taking progress and your thought prosessies that make me wonder how your head ticks as well as you giving the Chateaux a new beating heart. lol .I hope I get to see your creation in person and meet the impressive young man you have allowed youtube viewers to discover exhists in Dordogne France. Merci bocoup, Gary Palmer
If I may make a suggestion?? In the petite salon, there is a large furniture piece with a glass cabinet between the windows; I would highly recommend placing it on a larger wall. The reason is say this is that although symmetrical balance is always important in formal rooms, it’s not always possible or even necessary when you have larger wall spaces which scream for larger pieces. I noticed a beautiful chest or commode adjacent to the fireplace on a large wall which seems somewhat lost due to the comparison of space to furniture ratio. My suggestion is to move the larger piece from between the windows to the space adjacent to the fireplace (what appears to be the right side of the fireplace on screen). This will nicely fill the larger wall space on the fireplace wall and another commode or table or vitrine of smaller size can live between the windows bringing the tried and true design principle of the largest pieces on the largest walls should be placed first and gradually work your way down the the smaller scale pieces in the remaining spaces. Albeit keeping in mind furniture groupings such as seating which needs to stay more closely related to one another for ease of conversation and aesthetics, would qualify as the larger scale pieces to be considered for larger walls and large empty space because they are of one established element to themselves in the scheme of space planning and decorating. As well Bergiere Chairs should not stand alone without a table or companion chair or seat because of their importance as a piece with a designated place in the seating plan. I hope you don’t take this as criticism for the sake of a condescending commentary from an amateur, as I have a solid career in interior design and very much appreciate and admire your work, sense of style and dedication to this restoration project! Bravo!! It is all remarkable and you’ve done an amazing job as everything is stunning! 🎊 ❤
Whom will live in the chateau after all the restoration is completed. It is absolutely a splendid home to enjoy. Heating will cost a small fortune. Very impressive indeed I love French furniture and decor. Good luck please keep us posted with all the renovations. We love watching.
Fantastic job.. Love what you're doing.. I hope to. Come over and purchase one myself. I've been looking for something family owned... All original and complete..!
This is AMAZING as you are also to take on such a project was in itself crazy but a good crazy and now at last the fruits of your labors are showing these great houses could not survive with out a visionary such as you i hope the French government awards you a high honor you deserve it Sir may God go with you..
What an incredible journey in restoring! 🏰 Preserving historical elements while adapting the space for interactive visitor experiences is a brilliant way to keep heritage alive and engaging.
Fantastic restoration. The thought, heart, knowledge & care with which you’re restoring this beautiful chateau is beyond impressive. I hope someday you can restore the agricultural aspects, especially the vineyard & winemaking apparatus.
Ah once again another positive beautiful part of your estate. Dr. You have continued to do a wonderful job you are a smart man, hands stud but a person who. Area about history.😎💋🇺🇸👍
It's inspiring to see that Edouard has committed to a restoration that shows history and patina. I imagine that one would feel comforted by the historical patina rather than afraid to move in the rooms, like with more extremely renovated chateaux.
One of my favourite stories to follow. I adore that using games like he's doing will connect people to the chateau and the work he's doing to keep it relevant. Observation is wonderful but integration will make it more personal and likely inspire more restoration benefits. That was a very intelligent approach.
It is looking great! I believe in preserving such wonderful examples of old craft-mastery so future generations can also enjoy the way things were once done.
I don't know how I missed your platform but am really excited that I get to watch your interior renovations. You handle speaking about the Chateaux very well. wishing your further success and with watch.
Congratulations on what you are doing. Living in New Zealand is too far away to visit chateau's. I appreciatevwhat you are doing and it gives me hope my gt grandchildren will one day visit.
Я когда вижу заброшенные замки ,вилы , дома, ощущение брошенной Любви ! Вот она валяется и все проходят мимо , равнодушно пинают ногами и грабЯт. Вы молодец!
I'm glad in Europe there are still craftsmen who have the skills to do such beautiful, historic work and renovation.
they are almost extinct thanks to the american junk: prefab since the 50's.
