I'm so excited to find your channel! What a fabulous place. I'm really excited you will actually keep the stable a stable. Every single other chateau restoration channel I watch renovates that space onto something else! Yay for you. I can't wait to see more details of the outbuildings, details that show the historical way of life, and details of your projects restoring this beauty! Thank you for saving this piece of history!
Mike from mo. Us here, this is so exciting! The wife an I are so happy to see you excited and happy 😊 love the attitude!! We love old properties! Hang in there! Thoughts and prayers, mike and melissa t.

Welcome! Thank you for your message. We're thrilled you're following our journey.
Greetings from San Antonio Texas! I also just subscribed, I agree the background music with the echo in the room just makes it very difficult to hear your conversation. It just gave me a headache. Love your château can’t wait to see all your plans for restoring this old house.

thank you for your feedback and for following our journey
I just subscribed and what an incredible property. Such a wonderful/what was I thinking kind of life experience and all that knowledge and the journey ahead!!! Admire your spirit. Looking forward to what you have to find, explore and discover. A segment on your discoveries would be so interesting. Getting to know the other chateau owners on TH-cam might be fun and informative for you as well. I think I'm watching most of them by now and they all say you have to be a bit crazy to do this. Less music, more you. Blessings from Texas
I found video one, I am all caught up on your new chapter in life, congratulations on getting married and I am excited to see how your restoration and new adventure go, I will be watching thanks for taking us along. Love from NY.
Lovely to see two Australians in the Chateau mix. Looking forward to seeing the restoration of this grand and breathtaking chateau. Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I'm an architect and historic preservationist and your story about Purnon is exciting. I bought an 18th century townhouse in the south of France and will be relocating from the US early in 2023. I'm excited to follow your adventure. Cheers-
You might want to explore the Work Away program where you can request volunteers with the skills you need for room and board. A great way to get help and build relationships.
Being a "Yank" but knowing our family's roots reached all the way back across the pond, makes me feel somehow that this beautiful place is somehow a special place even to me! I wish I was a wealthy person who could go along the real estate trail and scoop up all those chateaus mentioned that are in such need of saving! Bummer! 😔 Let me hasten to say how glad I am that at least this wonderful old place is in the right hands, apparently! Will enjoy watching the progress - even from the southern US! ❤❤❤

Thanks for your message. We're thrilled that you're following our journey!
Today August 19, 2022 my first time viewing. I'm intrigued with your journey. I decided to start with this vlog and move forward to present. All the best in your journey. Hugs💞 from Ohio, USA.
What an amazing project! Can you make a video sometime about the process of purchasing the chateau? Was it listed for sale? Did you have an attorney, broker or real estate representative for the purchase? How did you learn you needed an architect to approve every step of the renovation? What are some things that someone looking for a chateau project would need to ask or research during the purchase process? I'm very interested in anything you can share about the process.
I've been watching your videos one by one. I can't imagine how you are going to fund these efforts but I applaud you. Hopefully you can gather a lot of funds through the internet.
Well certainly a challenge for some but not for Aussies 🇦🇺 We wish you all the best and we will be here to see this fantastic journey of discovery and historic adventures, God Bless you both and be safe. 👍😇🇫🇷🙏🏰

Thank you - we're glad you've discovered our adventure.
Dear Tim and Felicity, in the politest way could I suggest maybe toning down the back ground music please. Really interested in what you have to say but the music is a bit over powering and distracting from what youre saying. Love the project and the chateau is beautiful. Can totally see what you see in it. Best wishes for continued success with the project.
Well done you! Great to see some Aussies doing a beautiful job of preserving an incredible Chateau. Looking forward to seeing more progress in time Cheering from PERTH WA.
I just subscribed. A suggestion to better hear what you're saying is to eliminate the loud, distracting background music, especially when speaking inside with the echo in the high ceilings rooms . Looking forward to seeing your journey! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California!
I totally understand how you fell in love with the chateaux. It may not be the same but I have lived for 30yrs in a house nearing 100yrs old here in Sydney and I still say goodnight to it each night. Crazy? Possibly.
This project is immensely exciting and I look forward to the restoration. Thank you for taking the time to restore a gem of our collective history, and breathe life back into it again. Sending my love and admiration from Canada!
New subscriber here! Super exciting to follow your adventure. Amazing property, absolutely gorgeous, and what a challenge. Wishing you a ton of good luck and success! Thanks for sharing your stories
Are you working in conjunction with French Heritage? This is a mammoth task! I think Dan of “Escape to Rural France” is tackling a task that is a challenge but you’ve definitely topped that! The Chateau is in awful condition but finishing your roof will be such a monumental accomplishment!! Love the history! It is definitely incredible.

I just subscribed too but agree with Kerrie background music far too loud. Hard to hear you very well. Good Look on your journey can’t wait to see what you do.
We've also just found you on TH-cam and we are fellow Aussies from Sydney. Looking forward to watching what we've missed and then journey with you. Good on you doing what alot of us would have liked to have done when we were younger. I do agree though, that the background music is distracting while you are talking.

I have watched a couple of your videos but was in awe of hearing that you are an Aussie .I have watched hundreds of chateau restorations and thrilled to see Aussies making France your home . I saw the chateau before you bought a few years ago .What an adventure what a thrilling experience for you both I wish you the best for your futures such a lovely young couple.

Welcome to France. We have been here 21 years and have never looked back. You have taken on a huge project but you will never regret it.
What a fantastic property! I am excited to see the journey as you bring it back to life.
thanks for joining us!
Just discovered your channel. I’m completely speechless by the beauty of your chateau. So excited to tag along on your amazing journey.
From one Melbournian to another I will enjoy watching your renovations, very exciting.
No one who starts a project like this knows what they’re getting into. If you knew, you wouldn’t do it.
I’m in. Hook line and sinker. Fellow Melbourning🌻
thanks for joining us!
Fabulous. I'm excited for you.
Drop the background music. It really is annoying when trying to listen to you
Well done you! Great to see some Aussies doing a beautiful job of preserving an incredible Chateau. Looking forward to seeing more progress in time
Cheering from PERTH WA.
What a beautiful amazing chateau well done!
You are pretty passionate restores and do a great job🥂
What is the wind turbine used for?
The gate is magnificent!
Does the government help with the cost of renovation at all?
I just subscribed. A suggestion to better hear what you're saying is to eliminate the loud, distracting background music, especially when speaking inside with the echo in the high ceilings rooms . Looking forward to seeing your journey! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California!
I’m thinking the Echo comes from there’s no drapes hung yet in the windows when they get them hung then it will stop 🥰
Yes I agree!!!!but I'm super glad I came across this blog!
Stunning chateau lovely new owners please loose the music and echo perhaps a more sensitive microphone I'm subscribing from Hawaii aloha
Please speak slower so we can better understand your Aussie accents.
Love the challenge you've accepted! We will be watching.
What an amazing project. Sending strength for the tough days!!!
I totally understand how you fell in love with the chateaux. It may not be the same but I have lived for 30yrs in a house nearing 100yrs old here in Sydney and I still say goodnight to it each night. Crazy? Possibly.
not crazy at all!

I am so glad I came across your vlog, I cant wait to take this journey with you and see everything as it unfolds x

bonjour de France regarde le château de " Vaux le vicomte " !!!!! et ses jardins......

C'est impressionnant à quel point ce château est marqué par la Révolution française tout en ayant réussi à lui survivre !
Merci pour votre message. Un tel événement historique a touché le château mais ne l'a pas détruit. Nous sommes très reconnaissants !
The music in the background is too loud in the foreground and distracts and drowns out some of the narrative.
Greetings From Massachusetts! Your Chateau is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your adventures! 🥰 Donna
Thank you for taking the time to make such a lovely video.💖😊💖
Good luck with your project...Proud two see such a lovely couple sharing their love of the chateaux.
