What is extraordinary is that the chateau was saved and not destroyed during the revolution. And of course the subsequent world wars. It begs to be saved and have new life breathed into it.
Which life ? Who wants to live in a castle apparts from people who never experienced it and imagine that it is great. Living in a castle is very impractical. Even if you run it as a hotel/historical monument/event location competiting with other castle will be a real challenge. There is a reason why this castle is for sale: It is crap (Compare to the ton of other castle available in France)
@@jeandubois8810 I'm sorry to tell you but I own a chateau and it is my main residence. It is a dream living here to me. The nearest town is 5km away and I would never changed it. Living in a such historical and architecturally beautiful property and at the same time being in nature and have the most beautiful gardens and grow your own food is just the best . I dont like this one much tho
To build 3 stars hitels in jakarta indonesia cost more than 7 millions...this is the down fall of europe. Because they voted sosialist leader. Everybody suffers
I should've liked to see the lower level & attic to access the condition of the roof. The rooms are nice but a leaky roof & a few broken windows will destroy it. And cost a small fortune to heat!!
@@loloholmes2793 All true, but it's (almost) the south of France. You don't need to heat it that much. (You will probably only live in a few rooms anyway, which you can heat)
That place is really impressive I can tell ( it's me in the video speaking ) and yes, France is so rich of beautiful architecture, even small houses are some pure gems sometimes. Thanks for this nice comment.
Yes, this really is a dream library like you can see in fairy tales 😍 Unfortunately, we did not have the time to have a more detailed look at the books but I'm sure you are correct!
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett unfortunately most of the books will be in the french language. Useless to an English Speaket with no desire or time to learn French
"So full of history", exactly... But, after renovation, one's taxes in Frances new system become crippling, since the French are taxed on the value of assets, not income. The more you do your duty to history, duty to art, beauty - really, to the world - by restoring true French history in this marvelous chateau, the more you will be punished and unable to continue to look after it. Makes my heart heavy to see places like this on the auction block.
@@Alexfolledemoi So...If your family happens to own a 30 million euro painting (family heirloom) you would be taxed? Even if you, let’s say, only makes 50k euro?
Wow! Talk about a time capsule. This place has stood still for a few centuries--basically untouched. It makes me want to come over and help with some sweeping, tons of dusting and even waxing furniture to protect it for future generations. This chateau is an absolute treasure. Thanks for bringing us along..
I just love all the paintings in this chateau, it’s really magnificent. I’m so glad my mom and dad sound just like this guy. He has an enormous command of the English language.

The chateau hasn't been touched since 1789 ! This means that he had no modification of the architecture, neither addition nor demolition, on the other hand, it was perfectly maintained.
I don't know how true that is, perhaps you missed the indoor plumbing with a toilet & running water, and the electrical conduit.... You're trying to tell me that in 1789 they have electricity & indoor plumbing with running water.... Sure yeah right. England didn't convert over to electricity until the very early 20th Century before WW1.
@@loloholmes2793 I was thinking the same. While it's an incredible building its definitely been touched recently in fact. Leave a building for 200 years and it's grown over. Someone's been in there keeping it up somewhat. So I wonder if all of the interior is original
As we saw, some work has been done since 1789, specifically in providing a bathroom! However, I bet that the amount of work to be done in plumbing, electrics etc will be absolutely staggering.
I'm pretty sure there are many hidden treasures there... We only scratched the surface during this fast filming session, many parts were not filmed but we went all the way from the amazing vaulted basement to the superb attic, or in the Chapel (not featured here but stunning) and in many other parts (we wanted to keep the film short enough) and it's just mindblowing to discover letters written by some of the most famous people from that period. Cyril - photographer.
Exquisite, but it has been touched since 1789, there are many beautiful features and furnishings from Napoleonic period and on throughout the19th c. :) Seems to be at the same family for centuries since it is filled with fine antiques and family heirlooms! What a pitty it is for sale...
Mary Clingman would need to see that tub in person to decide but I don’t believe they made tubs that big in the 20th century. Now the outside of the tub was painted the same as the wall and that was done ALOT in the US during the late 20s and 30s to spiff up older or damaged tubs. The French had their own monetary issues during that time so my guess would be the tub was much older and when plumbing was updated the tub got a coat of paint. That tub was either new old stock lol or an very old tub. The other fixtures are 20s most likely because by the time of financial recovery France was recovering from WWII
It just hasn't had any add ons or walls knocked out. If it hadn't been touched that long the roof would have collapsed long ago and it'd be an overgrown ruin. Yes it's something of a time capsule but the video headline is a bit dishonest.
@@jorgegomez524 Hi . . I've just come across this site again and saw your unanswered question! Yes, Lucie and her husband Frederic loved Le Bouilh but they mostly lived at Versailles where she was a lady-in-waiting to Marie Antoinette and her father in law was the Minister of war. They returned to Le Bouilh after the elder Comte was guillotined but found the chateau sealed and the furniture plundered . Frederic remained in hiding on the property (with a loyal staffer) while Lucie, the children and their nanny etc lived in Bordeaux and arranged their voyage to North America. When the family returned to France, Lucie was invited to join the court of Napoleon and the Comte de Gouvernet became a diplomat. They later settled in Italy and never returned to Le Bouilh and the chateau passed to a different branch of the family.
Magnificent home. It’s a shame you had to hurry past everything so fast. Also, we didn’t get a glance at the kitchen. It’s good to see the home as well cared for. Absolutely stunning.

ah ah ah, it's me speaking there ( Cyril , LEGETT videographer à I did not take time to read all of your comments but this one made me laugh. Sorry guys, I'm french and I know how bad my accent is :) I hope you don't mind it too much as next year you'll probably will see me more in the videos. I'll try to select more of the extraordinary properties we have in our listings than I did before, so stay tuned. I will also publish more contents regarding the lifestyle and stunning places I go to in every region.
Suis-je la seule française à regarder ce genre de vidéos de petits chefs d'œuvre ? Or the other French people write comments in English. 😉 This chateau is an absolute gem. Incredible and elegant.
If I had the money I would have this open as a museum...this is absolutely stunning. Not a thing would be touched. It's such a rarity and a priceless treasure
Well worth the price, just to have a reason for routinely saying 'Gironde' (and also the magical words 'Aquitaine' and 'Dordogne' - all three being joyful words to say). And then there's the delightful 'Folie de Grandeur' dollhouse scale of the chateau, which would make it highly manageable to own.
An absolutely gorgeous home. I would love to see it, after it has been renovated. I know it will be incredible. It's going to take a lot of money to renovate it.
Finally someone thought to bring a light along with them so we can see the interior most I've watched it's been too dark in the rooms to make out what they were showing
What an amazing and beautiful place this is. I wonder how many rooms there are? It would be fascinating to learn about life during its heyday. Thanks for the video!

The French chateau 1789 wow it,s so amazing and interesting the art and the furnishings It should not be destroyed but made into a place for tourist I love it and the guy who did the video his accent and he ,s a cutie Wow thanks for sharing good day matie😏❤️
I think there should be a film society to buy and restore these places so they could be shown in movies and tv shows and while not in use for shooting they could be open as museums for the public. It’s the best way to keep it as it was and to maintain itself financially.

The WALLPAPER or Painting below the Chair Railing on the 2nd Floor in the Hallway reflects its ancient age....so stunning and rare design..appears to be late 1700 to early 1800's! Many of the ceilings are peeling and have flaked off onto the floor in several of the 1st rooms, such as the 1s Blue Room there is a stripe of WALLPAPER hanging loose. Sure would like to know the last time someone spent the night!? Let's hope the furniture, paintings and accessories STAY in the Chataue FOREVER.
I dont know about one else" this simply took my breath away, Oh I wish beyond my dreams I could buy this and all in tacked, Oh my goodness...💐 I wouldn't change a thing... I would only bring happiness and love back in to this wonderful family chateau... I hope there will be an additional Updates on this 💞
Heritage hotel is the only thing comes to my mind seeing this kinda property as its only way to keep such big property manageable and useful while keeping the glory without any damage.
Wow you actually buy a museum. All untouched. 😍 Would be great if the new owners could keep everything in its place and open it for tourists. I would visit ! 🥰
Love the worn colors, these people lived a very nice life. Maybe someone can make it into a beautiful bed & breakfast this pace is just magnificent thanx for sharing : - )
Yes, this property has been maintained over the years. What we meant by 'untouched' is that no major changes were made to the architecture and you can still find the original furniture, paintings, books, etc. 😉And the dust is there, believe us...
Look again...the large tables are very dusty just layers, they don't shine. On the Grand Staircase is white/gray stains on the steps from bird droppings sitting on the large paintings. Look at the huge painting again as he comes down the steps....the bird droppings are more noticeable at the bottom of the frame from where the birds sat. So sad! Probably a broken window for awhile before care taker noticed. Wonder WHY not cleaned and dusted before placed for sale? Did owner die and the Trustee - Executor thinks that it shows its age (unchanged 1789) better if dirty? Wish they explained when it was last lived in from day to day. Probably was a Country Home in the last 100 years.....
"..... Duchesse du Barry, hid there during the French revolution which did cost to the owner... his head! Luckily it was preserved and did make its way through the ages and centuries. " Oh no, I read this initially that the head was preserved ! .... Wonderful place, so many of the Leggett properties are.
Goodness, no, fortunately, we were referring to the property and not the Duchesse's head 😂 Thank you, we do try to show you the most beautiful houses for sale in France! 😊
Confused w the way YT works. Yesterday it recommended many treehouses/ tiny houses... And today recommends many big old mansion/ chateau& countryhouses😄
This is exquisite! Please don't let somebody buy this beautiful chateau and ruin it like they so often do by "modernizing" it. I don't understand why people purchase these beautiful, historical old structures and do that. Please, please, please, don't do that to this one!!!
Rest assured that the family selling this wonderful property won't let this happen as they are looking for someone with a serious project to buy it! :)
This is stunning! I am from America and we don't have too many places like this and what we did have was torn down and the same goes for the UK, a lot of their mansions and castles we blown up because they either fell into ruin or the upkeep was too much. It would take several millions of dollars to restore this on top of being not being rich but super-rich because the taxes will eat you alive on a place like this. The first thing that would need to be fixed is the foundation followed by the floors, roofing, any electrical wiring, plumbing, ceilings, and walls. You can tell the floors are in very bad shape because the squeaking comes from the natural settling and age, but the crunching sound is from dry rot/termites or both
Tres magnifique if I won the lottery I’d buy it and spend the rest of my life exploring everything , all I’d then change was the electricity , water , then keep it maintained . This is far too beautiful and far too historical to change , it should be kept as is , for everybody to admire .
Oh how I'd love to see that place filled with guests, a good restaurant near the original kitchen, the vineyard in full use, beautiful garden (kitchen garden and flower garden, maybe lemons and well). Weddings and birthday parties. One proud owner
This should be bought and opened as a museum like Versailles. If i owned this i’d feel bad moving one furniture from its place. Aside of the architectural treasure. The objects! The paintings, the decorations, furnitures, mirrors, bustes worth a gold mine
This angers me so much! This is history! I have so many words racing through my mind I don't even know what to say. This is a priceless possession. Someone's legacy.
The longer it sits the more degraded it will get. Someone will purchase it, sell the antiques for millions and then fill it with reproductions to pay for the upkeep and then probably turn it into a hotel. The government obviously doesn’t want it.
@@Lafeolamom Do you have any idea what French property taxes are like? Or the bare bones cost of running that place? We won't even discuss the millions and millions to make the place habitable. There are only 5 bathrooms now...sadly it is now a white elephant and the only way it would make sense is for a developer to turn it into apartments and even then they would probably be massively expensive and overpriced for the area.
Don't let your heart be bogged down by this. Nothing is permanent. Sure it's an historic treasure, but remember it rose on the backs of extremely oppressed people, whom the French aristocracy didn't regard as citizens, built just 3 years before the Revolution (1786?). The planet is filled with ruins and we simply can't save them all. If fate has force, then fate determines what should and will happen to this property. Get some friends and family together and find a project to save and that will be more satisfying than anything else you do.
I would move the two towers away from the main building and build a semetric copy of the singular left wing building on the right and then create a huge french garden around the premises.
Absolutely delightful... but the cost to bring things like electric up to code! I suppose if one wanted to create a hotel/b&b, it would be a one-room-at-a-time project, probably starting with the kitchen!
Buy the castle into a corporation and run the estate as business. There is tons of ways to avoid taxation if you are well informed and smart in France.
Can you imagine how much the furniture would be worth if you sold separately?🤑its beautiful they don't make buildings like this with so much character anymore

Yes but it also means it’s very special!

Everybody copied the Italians in those days
It's the British whose architecture is Unique..stately homes, cathedrals etc...copied and coveted worldwide

Sorry guys, I'm french and I know how bad my accent is :) I hope you don't mind it too much as next year you'll probably will see me more in the videos. I'll try to select more of the extraordinary properties we have in our listings than I did before, so stay tuned. I will also publish more contents regarding the lifestyle and stunning places I go to in every region.
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett The accent is great!! Amazing video as well.
Leggett Immobilier look forward to it Thankyou
Suis-je la seule française à regarder ce genre de vidéos de petits chefs d'œuvre ?
Or the other French people write comments in English. 😉
This chateau is an absolute gem. Incredible and elegant.
No, not at all; i do look at us or uk vid's.
Non
If I had the money I would have this open as a museum...this is absolutely stunning. Not a thing would be touched. It's such a rarity and a priceless treasure
This property actually used to be a museum, you can still see some traces of that in our video 😉
Well worth the price, just to have a reason for routinely saying 'Gironde' (and also the magical words 'Aquitaine' and 'Dordogne' - all three being joyful words to say). And then there's the delightful 'Folie de Grandeur' dollhouse scale of the chateau, which would make it highly manageable to own.
An absolutely gorgeous home. I would love to see it, after it has been renovated. I know it will be incredible. It's going to take a lot of money to renovate it.
Finally someone thought to bring a light along with them so we can see the interior most I've watched it's been too dark in the rooms to make out what they were showing
YES WHAT KIND OF LIGHT WAS THAT ITEM🍀IT LIT @THE WHOLE DARKENED ROOMS🦋
It’s gorgeous, thank you for sharing
She had a nice rest and now it is time for her to shine once more.
What an amazing and beautiful place this is. I wonder how many rooms there are? It would be fascinating to learn about life during its heyday. Thanks for the video!

quelle superbe visite!! si j en avait les moyens, j acheterai cette petite merveille et ne changerai/ajouterai que l'indispensable.../...what a superb visit !! if I had the means, I will buy this little wonder and only change/add the essential . Merci pour cette découverte
The French chateau 1789 wow it,s so amazing and interesting the art and the furnishings It should not be destroyed but made into a place for tourist I love it and the guy who did the video his accent and he ,s a cutie
Wow thanks for sharing good day matie😏❤️
I think there should be a film society to buy and restore these places so they could be shown in movies and tv shows and while not in use for shooting they could be open as museums for the public. It’s the best way to keep it as it was and to maintain itself financially.
Wow this place is so amazing and complete with furniture.A look into the past that can’t be beat.
absolutely amazing! thank you for sharing!
Spectacular. I love Chateau Homes. I need to visit one.
It used to be on sale for 16 millions euros.Great Place
Love it ! Near Bordeaux ! is it good wine there ?
I would spend hours in there just looking at everything 😍
Simply stunning!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!! I would love for you to post more pictures of the other rooms.

The WALLPAPER or Painting below the Chair Railing on the 2nd Floor in the Hallway reflects its ancient age....so stunning and rare design..appears to be late 1700 to early 1800's! Many of the ceilings are peeling and have flaked off onto the floor in several of the 1st rooms, such as the 1s Blue Room there is a stripe of WALLPAPER hanging loose. Sure would like to know the last time someone spent the night!? Let's hope the furniture, paintings and accessories STAY in the Chataue FOREVER.
I really wanted to look inside the cupboards and wardrobes! What a beautiful time capsule of a home.
It's beautiful, I hope whoever takes this project on does an excellent job but keep its historical charm alive. This is beautiful as it is.
Shines light on perfectly naturally lit painting to make it more visible only to make it barely visible.
Amazing, wouldn't want to touch it to be honest, so well preserved.
I dont know about one else"
this simply took my breath away,
Oh I wish beyond my dreams
I could buy this and all in tacked,
Oh my goodness...💐
I wouldn't change a thing...
I would only bring happiness and love back in to this wonderful family chateau...
I hope there will be an additional
Updates on this 💞
"intact"
Heritage hotel is the only thing comes to my mind seeing this kinda property as its only way to keep such big property manageable and useful while keeping the glory without any damage.
Vraiment très beau ce château 🏰 merci pour la visite 🙏👍
Avec grand plaisir 😊🏰
Magnificent piece of art.
OMG! So much art and history in that building. Just amazing!!
You could move straight in, it looks timeless.
The natural light inside is beautiful.
How much History, the architecture is extraordinary indescribable.
Wow you actually buy a museum. All untouched. 😍 Would be great if the new owners could keep everything in its place and open it for tourists. I would visit ! 🥰
OMG it is Bouilh! The chateau of Lucy la Tour du Pin
Love the worn colors, these people lived a very nice life. Maybe someone can make it into a beautiful bed & breakfast this pace is just magnificent thanx for sharing : - )
The chance to grow grapes & have wine production would be awesome!
It is magnificent! It is ready to be cleaned and used as a movie set for a period piece.
I absolutely love the layout
Beautiful! Obviously someone has touched it, cause it is clean and dusted!!
Yes, this property has been maintained over the years. What we meant by 'untouched' is that no major changes were made to the architecture and you can still find the original furniture, paintings, books, etc. 😉And the dust is there, believe us...
I don't know how you missed the dust and cobwebs. And, the gentleman did add that there were no changes for "decades."
Look again...the large tables are very dusty just layers, they don't shine. On the Grand Staircase is white/gray stains on the steps from bird droppings sitting on the large paintings. Look at the huge painting again as he comes down the steps....the bird droppings are more noticeable at the bottom of the frame from where the birds sat. So sad! Probably a broken window for awhile before care taker noticed. Wonder WHY not cleaned and dusted before placed for sale? Did owner die and the Trustee - Executor thinks that it shows its age (unchanged 1789) better if dirty? Wish they explained when it was last lived in from day to day. Probably was a Country Home in the last 100 years.....
It is so beautiful the furniture amazing
"..... Duchesse du Barry, hid there during the French revolution which did cost to the owner... his head! Luckily it was preserved and did make its way through the ages and centuries. " Oh no, I read this initially that the head was preserved ! .... Wonderful place, so many of the Leggett properties are.
Goodness, no, fortunately, we were referring to the property and not the Duchesse's head 😂 Thank you, we do try to show you the most beautiful houses for sale in France! 😊
Thank you, Brilliant video!
Confused w the way YT works. Yesterday it recommended many treehouses/ tiny houses... And today recommends many big old mansion/ chateau& countryhouses😄
This is exquisite! Please don't let somebody buy this beautiful chateau and ruin it like they so often do by "modernizing" it. I don't understand why people purchase these beautiful, historical old structures and do that. Please, please, please, don't do that to this one!!!
Rest assured that the family selling this wonderful property won't let this happen as they are looking for someone with a serious project to buy it! :)
@@FrenchPropertyByLeggett Good! Thank you for your response.
If only I had the money to buy this...
Great, a little dusty, but majestic ! 7 millions is quite cheap for 70 hectares ( 700.000 m2) + chateau + vineyard . Truly unique !
Wow! What an amazing chateu..
This is stunning! I am from America and we don't have too many places like this and what we did have was torn down and the same goes for the UK, a lot of their mansions and castles we blown up because they either fell into ruin or the upkeep was too much. It would take several millions of dollars to restore this on top of being not being rich but super-rich because the taxes will eat you alive on a place like this. The first thing that would need to be fixed is the foundation followed by the floors, roofing, any electrical wiring, plumbing, ceilings, and walls. You can tell the floors are in very bad shape because the squeaking comes from the natural settling and age, but the crunching sound is from dry rot/termites or both
A lovely treasure of the past, thank you
How can such a beautiful property be neglected for so long
Tres magnifique if I won the lottery I’d buy it and spend the rest of my life exploring everything , all I’d then change was the electricity , water , then keep it maintained .
This is far too beautiful and far too historical to change , it should be kept as is , for everybody to admire .
So beautiful!❤
Oh how I'd love to see that place filled with guests, a good restaurant near the original kitchen, the vineyard in full use, beautiful garden (kitchen garden and flower garden, maybe lemons and well). Weddings and birthday parties. One proud owner
You said it has not changed since 1789, but someone put bathrooms in. It is a beautiful place nice to see someone looking after it.
This should be bought and opened as a museum like Versailles. If i owned this i’d feel bad moving one furniture from its place. Aside of the architectural treasure. The objects! The paintings, the decorations, furnitures, mirrors, bustes worth a gold mine
What a treasure !!!
This angers me so much!
This is history!
I have so many words racing through my mind I don't even know what to say.
This is a priceless possession. Someone's legacy.
Hopefully, whoever buys it won't change much, or anything, during restoration.
The longer it sits the more degraded it will get. Someone will purchase it, sell the antiques for millions and then fill it with reproductions to pay for the upkeep and then probably turn it into a hotel. The government obviously doesn’t want it.
@@Lafeolamom Do you have any idea what French property taxes are like? Or the bare bones cost of running that place? We won't even discuss the millions and millions to make the place habitable. There are only 5 bathrooms now...sadly it is now a white elephant and the only way it would make sense is for a developer to turn it into apartments and even then they would probably be massively expensive and overpriced for the area.
It all seems surreal!
Don't let your heart be bogged down by this. Nothing is permanent. Sure it's an historic treasure, but remember it rose on the backs of extremely oppressed people, whom the French aristocracy didn't regard as citizens, built just 3 years before the Revolution (1786?). The planet is filled with ruins and we simply can't save them all. If fate has force, then fate determines what should and will happen to this property. Get some friends and family together and find a project to save and that will be more satisfying than anything else you do.
It should become a national landmark, preserved and shouldn't be put up for sale and become a museum
I would move the two towers away from the main building and build a semetric copy of the singular left wing building on the right and then create a huge french garden around the premises.
Absolutely delightful... but the cost to bring things like electric up to code! I suppose if one wanted to create a hotel/b&b, it would be a one-room-at-a-time project, probably starting with the kitchen!
Bien filmé, beaux commentaire, beau château, bien entretenue, çà fait rêver ,félicitations au dernier propriétaire qui à tenue le coup !
Buy the castle into a corporation and run the estate as business. There is tons of ways to avoid taxation if you are well informed and smart in France.
Can you imagine how much the furniture would be worth if you sold separately?🤑its beautiful they don't make buildings like this with so much character anymore
Exciting and stunning!
