We bought some copper pots in Paris in 1976 which have Villedieu stamped on them. They are in excellent shape and I have used them a lot. Nice to see the town.
Charming French town, all that gorgeous copper that makes me drool and Louis Armstrong playing and singing La Vie En Rose in the background. Couldn’t ask for more other than to be eating a croissant while watching! Fantastique! Johanna. Maine USA
This video was in a different league to anything you've done so far! Much more comfortable and confident in front of the camera, lovely location, interesting content, well edited and filmed. Looking forward to more like this!
A Catholic church in Houston have just had a bell made by this foundry . We were in Orleans when the bell to commemorate St Joan was in the front porch of the Cathedral, waiting for its dedication and to be hung. It looked like pure gold,in the sun , just wonderful. Useful to know that Gautier sell polish there. Also good to know they re -tin in Poelle. I have a note hanging on my copper pans (for show!) that threatens anyone who uses them gets to pay for re-tinning! I love your vlogs, they show us so many good things about France.
What a wonderful village. The copper artist are miracle workers! Whe you bought those pieces I thought "How can they be saved?" You have a real gift to be able to see the outcome through all of that decay.
Your enthusiasm for great craftsmanship is what keeps us coming back for more. I love the little details you input to broaden our understanding and significance of what you like to show us.This is what makes your videos so interesting, for me at least. I miss the really nice peices my mom had. Sadly they went with my dad to California. It's ok, while after seeing some of your peices, I now know that some might have been valuable. I let that go quite some time ago, but kind of still wish I had them. C'est la vie. L - from, Philadelphia PA USA 💕
Thank you Sean. I really needed a "vlogcation" today! ... lol... :) It is a wonderful escape from my tiny apartment and my tiny country town in North Carolina, USA. Marie from Eden, NC

Brilliant video....great information on the copper...I .have a few pieces of copper and now busy cleaning them thanks to your video I have taken them down from the attic and put them on display....looking forward to learning more from your videos.... Ella Fynes Artist Dublin
Thanks so much for such a lovely tour and for all of your knowledge you have shared with us. I'm really looking forward to part 2 and the tour of the workshop area. Very cool!
OMG, a truly magical village, and I so enjoyed walking around it with you. 🥰 The pieces you had done turned out so wonderful! 👌 Thanks for sharing your trip❗🥰
Well Sean that was your best vlog up to now, definitely improving in all aspects. And what a beautiful town, love the old stone buildings. I’d love to hear more on the different makers marks and the best ones to collect. X
Oh wow, I loved this, such a stunning town and so great to see these old skills still going. Your finished pieces look amazing and I am really looking forward to seeing the workshop. Your camera work is improving all the time.
I like it when you talk about copper. I don't know what any of the pieces are called, how they are made, or where copper comes from In its raw state. I think it is mined but from where I don't know. Thanks for the education! Next time you go back, ask the guys working there what the process of refining copper items how they do it. I would like to know more! Thanks, Sean! Have a super week!
Such a lovely visit to the town and the copper shop. Your pieces were beautifully redone. Can’t wait for part two to see the workshop. Thanks for sharing Sean!
That gate and fencing is amazing! How I would love that at my place (sadly there’s no room for it!). Then when I saw the huge copper planter I knew you would be casting appreciative eyes on it! Thank you for such a lovely tour of such a charming town. Much love 😃
We were here for a few days last year. Such an interesting town. We visited the copper works and the bell foundry and would highly recommend a visit to both. The courtyards are also very interesting.
Hi Richard There are many factors involved in the pricing process, including condition, shape, size and repairs. It also depends on which workshop you choose, l choose one of the best. Kind regards Sean
PG Tips Great video Sean very interesting love all your copper pots etc . You must be in heaven with it all , what a hobby how did u get into it what started you off ? Take care 🙏🏻👏👍
