For this very first video on my brand-new channel, I invite you to discover some château owners I had the chance to meet as a filmmaker for the So Châteaux TH-cam channel. I hope you enjoy it, even if my English isn’t perfect! :) My name is Olivier, and I make videos about French châteaux, especially those undergoing restoration. If you like this kind of content, please let me know in the comme...
I’m so happy to see this historic buildings so special. Thankyou for sharing these stories I’m from Kansas nothing like that here😂 I really appreciate this channel
Thank you, Nice job on this video. As otheres have said your English is fine. You told the stories of the Chateau owners and how they became owners and was very interesting as you meant it to be. Best, Brain
The single Chateau women will indeed appreciate him! Loll
Très intéressant
Love the English version and your accent ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Rose Marie! 🙏
Based on the work, Antoni has already done, I'm very impressed. He's thorough, does things the right way and has exquisite taste. Can't wait to see more of his work on the chateau.
Your English is much better than our French! Bravo et merci!
Thank you ! :D
Very interesting video thank you
Thank you for watching John !
Chauffage, électricité, isolation, toiture, rénos, jardins, imprévus, etc. Rénover un chateau est tout un projet et plus que coûteux. Bon courage. Du Canada.
I'm glad you're doing these videos in English now too. I'll be watching!
Happy New Year.
Bonjour Olivier, I have been following Antoni's journey in the restoration of Chateau de Dampierre. His desire to bring the Chateau back to its original form as much as he can, using the same materials when he can show his dedication to the preservation of the French heritage, while allowing the public in to watch the magnificent historic Chateau transform back into a family country house, is truly amazing. Thank you for this interview.
Thank you for your comment, Joni. Yes, Antoni is doing an excellent job at Château de Dampierre. I'm fortunate to closely follow this restoration as the filmmaker for his TH-cam channel. The updates planned for 2025 are going to be very interesting!
Il est tellement sympa le nouveau châtelain ❤❤
Such a great interview with this very talented and artistic chateau owner! I have followed his progress on the renovations at Chateau de Dampierre and think it is one of the most beautiful chateau on TH-cam! Thanks so much for sharing this behind the scenes look at Dr. Antoni and his Passion Project of Chateau de Dampierre! Cheers!
Merci! Very interesting, thanks again, Greg from Cape Town.
Thank you really enjoyed this video ❤your English is fine make more please i watch all your So Chateau s
Thank you Pamela !
I have seen your interesting videos of the Châteaux you mentioned……..In this vlog, I very much enjoyed your opinions & personal information of each of the owners.💖 When are you going to buy a Château?🥰
The dude has some serious hair going on
Il doit bien aimer les anglais surtout les américains, ça payent bien!
I love watching this guy, he is a treasure for sure❤
This is a nice surprise in addition to your other channels I have already subscribed to. 🥰
au moins quand on a un projet seul on est pas obligé de vendre quand on se sépare ;o)
Le projet de restauration de Dampierre est absolument fantastique et bien sûr très courageux. Tout ce qui a été réalisé jusqu'alors est très réussi et redonne vie à ce beau domaine dans le respect des règles et de l'histoire. M. Calmon est la bonne personne pour ce grand projet, c'est un un réel plaisir de le suivre et de voir comment il est investi dans son projet. Quelle bonheur de voir que de jeunes français aiment notre patrimoine et le sauvent. Bravo à lui et merci à vous.
Thank you for sharing all these amazing places and people with us. 🇺🇸🫶
I came upon your channel by chance through Antoni Calmon as I follow his videos. Your English is really very good, you have a great command of the language. This video is interesting and informative from which I learned about the many amazing young entrepreneurs who realized the seemingly impossible dream of buying and restoring a French chateau. Are there a number of French organizations that provide funding grants? How is the determination made between a listed and unlisted chateau? How much control do the organizations that provide grants have over the restoration process? I wish you much success.
Thank you Michael for your kind message! I will try to answer your interesting questions in an upcoming video!
i!, wich is the ig or youtube of the last chateau?,Louis?
The chateau of Louis is called chateau de Tiregand. If you search on Instagram you should find his chateau under this name.
@@sochateauxbyolivier Thamks, i huge the chateau!
Terrific interview, THANK YOU! I've been enthusiatically following Antoni's TH-cam series from the beginning, and will continue to do so! I am a professional interior designer from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA USA, and just retired, ho hum! Engaging in his Chateau de Dampierre journey will support my lifelong interest in BIG PROJECTS. Antoni's passionate restoration set an example of the correct way to rennovate and save such a property, can't wait for more videos!
Thank you so much for this video. I have just discovered Antoni’s TH-cam series by accident. I was mesmerized by his passion for the aesthetics of his project. I binge-watched all of his videos and am totally in love with his vision for the Chateau. Through discovering his, I also discovered your series and now am in the process of watching all the videos you have to offer. Again, thank you so much!
I do follow some of the French Chateau reno TH-cam channels you mention and loved this video and the additional information. Thank you.
Everyone hates old people now. It is so dangerous.
Thanks for posting. Keep them coming.
That’s the French speaking English,I live to hear! Don’t like it too perfect!😊
Extraordinary, jubilant craftsmanship. Showing the epitome of woodwork.
To admire these carvings we need 1000 eyes
This is truly magnificent craftsmanship and artistry and I really don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it thank you for showing this epitome of woodwork to us
This woodwork and carving is beautiful You captured this so well And the accompanying music is lovely Keep doing this wonderful work on this channel
Thank you very much for your comment 🙏
Vision meets a capable, stubborn but creative man. Love it
Great job
This is amazing! Olivier, very interesting content😊
I did understand you very well. Thank you for your content it is lovely to meet you.
Thank you very much for your comment! 🙏
Really interesting to build on top of the ruins instead of trying to get permission to do larger works, what a freethinker he is! The vineyard is an unexpected twist also. I have enjoyed the two videos on your new channel so far🤩Merci
Thank you Ryan! 🙏
This is a very good video. I like this behind the scenes look at what you’re doing for So Chateaux. And I like getting to know the owners of the Chateaux’s. I subscribe to both channels. And I look forward to following along on your new journey while filming for this new channel. This is quite simple as you are quite handsome as well. And your English is great.
Thank you for your comment!
Bonjour Olivier. Yes, this is a nice start on your channel! Can easily understand your English, thank you. I was especially interested in some of the owners like Nicolas Chenivesse because their videos were a while ago before I subscribed to that channel, so your mention caused me to go back and look at those also. For future, I would be interested in your behind the scenes views of the castles and owners, for example: A Day of Filming, A Filming Trip including the travel, How the owner lives (if living in the same chateau, or not), Top tips from owners to purchase chateaux (what to look for in your viewing of the property, what is good about it or bad), Top tip from owners to finance your chateau purchase, Top tips from owners about marketing and opening your chateau to the public. OK that is enough for now! Looking forward to what you show us. Merci beaucoup
There are definitely some good ideas to take from what you mentioned. Thank you very much for your comment.
