Beautiful beautiful Chateau one of the best I have watched…. Being GibraltarIan I was honoured you mentioned Gibraltar …❤️🙏👍
i feel like most people cant even trace their family back 500 years so having the same home/property for that long is fantastically impressive. and what a beautiful home it is, so glad to see it being so loved and protected over so many years.
Fascinating! Thank you for the tour. Cheers-
Awesome 🥰🥰
These people have absolutely exquisite taste. This is a veritable masterpiece!
Gorgeous!!
Love this beautiful video ❤
Nation france ,, world treasure 🪙🪙 and grand jewel nation,,, amazing!! nation!!
A nation that has sadly, along with the rest of Western Europe, chosen the road towards its very own demise by rejecting its religious patrimony, and self identity. This beautiful Chateau contains the souvenirs of nobility who actually believed in the value of what it means to be NOBLE. A value no longer valued, nor striven for, nor given much significance. One cannot have nobility without courage, sacrifice and heroism. The West has presently given itself to silly diversions, distractions,petty pleasures and profane ideologies, to give nobility pride of importance.
Wow...thank.you.so.much for the information about your castle.I really love it.Who knows.somedays ill visit your place
Minister Colbert was highly instrumental in raising France to its glorious importance as Europe's cultural focus during the reign of the reign of Louis XIV. His significance cannot be overstressed.
Beau château et belle histoire!❤(Osvaldo Cruz-SP-Brasil)
France culture must be protected at all costs. World apart+
A good beginning would start with the French themselves. I have always detested the French Revolution for many reasons. One of them was the insane actions of the revolutionaries,who, if tgey had their way, eould have destroyed every manifestation of the ancien regime. These brigands were no different then Mao's Red Guards, who attempted to destroy every and any evidence of China's past.
Amazing artist ❤

Absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing in English. ❤ Your front entrance looks exactly the same as the chapel at Chateau Lalande. I’m sure you have heard of it. The restoration is happening now.
Great
Superb tour of a superb castle! I wish my family heritage was so well preserved. One question I had though, how was it that the family retained their holdings through the revolution when so much of the aristocracy was killed, or driven out or otherwise dispossessed?
Wow. Gorgeous. Thank you for opening your home. Have you seen the chapel at Chateau de LaLande? The ceiling is almost identical to that of your 'entry'.
nice🤩
Nice vdyo❤️❤️

History
The ceiling of your vestibule is very similar to that in Henry VIII's chapel in his main Tudor residence.
I wonder if the humongous fireplaces are ever still used?
How did your family survive the French Revolution?
seems to me those deservant of such splender are those that can not be found
Although Scottish/English I have been told that I share the same DNA as Marie Antoinette
