It's nice that you had the artisans showing their talent during these 2 days. You are unbelievable in your enterprise, and they are the masters craftsmen who make the magic happen. I'm jealous of their skills and have some regret not having embraced such a career in my young age. The work they do every day will last for centuries to come, that is the beauty of their art.

Thanks for your message and for acknowledging the incredible skill of our artisans. We are in awe of them and without their skills and passion, the restoration of Chateau de Purnon would be impossible.
it really is incredible. their skill is out of this world... Its hard to believe that it will soon be gone forever. In the very near future. A lot of common skills will be completely forgotten.
You dropped into my feed last week. I buried my husband 4 days ago. Your gentle and soothing videos have saved me. I put TH-cam on my large smart tv and slowly but surely going through your journey. It offers so much comfort, love the history, and your care about the previous family .❤

Thank you for your message. Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of your husband so recently. We are both deeply moved to know that our journey is bringing you some measure of comfort during this sad time. We are thinking of you.
Vous faites un travail exceptionnel. Non seulement vous restorez un superbe chateau classé Monument Historique mais de plus, vous faites participer la communauté locale et les artisans Compagnons du Devoir à ce prodigieux travail de mémoire et renaissance d'un site historique. Votre vidéo est très émouvante. Un grand merci pour votre authenticité, votre dévouement et votre courage. J'ajoute que vos vidéos sont d'une grande qualité et beauté.
The perfect couple with the perfect Chateau! You were meant for each other! I was so moved by the guest woman who thanked you outside, she was so emotionally charged as I am too watching such a wonderful place receiving so much love, especially as a contrast to the world’s troubles at this time. I am in awe! John in Monmouth 🏴

Thanks John - we're thrilled you enjoyed getting a little taste of our Open Weekend.
I can’t believe I just happened across your incredible story and your videos 1 week ago. I have spent this last week totally immersed in catching up on all your videos and sharing them with my friends! I’ve watched countless videos on chateau “renovations” but none of them hold a candle to your true restoration of this magnificent palace! The reverence and love you 2 show is unmatched. I am faithfully watching for future updates. Love and prayers from Texas! ❤❤❤

I saw me !! I saw me!!! 😅 what an amazing property and well done. Had a few words with Tim on the tour and you can feel that passion you have. I guess one of the biggest rewards is when that French lady shows how much it means to her. Can't wait to see the progress next year. Clement & magda from 16150.

Yes, Benoit, our baker, gives a masterclass in traditional break baking techniques! Thank you!
The Journees du Patrimoine must be motivating and rewarding for both you and all the artisans in your team. I must admit though that I was mostly jealous of the bread, I could practiacally smell it through the web.

Tasted every bit as delicious as it looked! Benoit did a fabulous job.
I can't quite explain why this video moved me so deeply. Your dedication and passion are a beautiful reminder of what a remarkable human experience can be. Keep inspiring us all!
Honestly for me it was the feeling of "this is what it could be" people working living gathering and eating behind those gates again is just, idk something else. These chateaus would have housed an entire community and this old lady finally got to see that again, even if it's only a weekend.
Merci à vous d'avoir permis au plus grand nombre de découvrir votre domaine et l'extraordinaire qualité de la restauration que vous avez courageusement entreprise, accompagnés des meilleurs artisans du patrimoine. Ce WE des journées du patrimoine vous récompense et vous honore, c'est aussi l'occasion pour les français, de vous remercier pour tout ce que vous faites depuis quatre années pour sauver ce patrimoine exemplaire. N'étant pas en France à ce moment, je n'ai pu me joindre aux nombreux visiteurs, j'espère pouvoir le faire l'an prochain pour admirer de visu votre travail fabuleux et si respectueux de notre histoire. Encore un immense merci pour tout ce que vous faites pour PURNON.
Congratulations on a successful weekend. How wonderful to have the artisans demonstrating their skills and to have an interactive experience for the kids. Wish I could’ve been there. Maybe someday 😍😘

I am always in awe watching your videos. I am so envious of those who were able to visit your Chateau for your open weekend. I'll just have to get plotting to visit next year! You look so happy and excited showing us around the Chateau it's clear you really enjoy sharing with us. Seeing the artisans fitting the oak pieces together was amazing, their skill is astonishing! I could happily spend hours just watching them in person working on the stone and oak.😎🤓

It tasted every bit as delicious as it looked! Thanks for your message.
Oh my! If I came to the festivities I'm afraid you would have to shew me out with a broom at the end of the day! I live very near the community in Texas called Castroville where many Alsatian immigrants, my own Grandmother's line settled after arriving from Alsace where they still speak the Alsatian dialect. Old home day as we would call it in the states is a marvel of the emotional and indeed spiritual occurrence of "coming home". I think that is also what the Journees du Patrimoine must be like. Bravo! Keep it alive!

Yes, you were busy over the weekend. I am so glad you had such a turnout for the Heritage Days. I wish I could have been there, but i know I will never be able to attend or see her in person. Just seeing you two restoring her to her glory and beauty will be enough for me. Of all the chateau videos I watch, yours is the most beautiful and grandest chateau. I can see why you fell in love with her.

Wow wow wow Flick and Tim what a most beautiful, amazing and wonderful open day we laughed and cried whist watching. It is so easy to see the love and devotion that you both have put into this restoration and to see all the French take this opportunity to see what a couple of Aussies can do must be a feeling satisfaction. We are so glad that it was such a great open days and wish you all the bloody best from this part of the world Down under. PS Flick you don’t any if those handout leaflets electronically do you?

You clearly have earned the deep respect of the locals, the artisans, historians and people right across the globe for the sensitivity with which you are approaching this Immense undertaking.

It’s wonderful to see the way the oak frame was built in small sections. So interesting! I also enjoyed hearing the baker talk about how the weather affects the oven and the way the bread bakes. Well done, as always! ❤

Thank you for your message. It was a wonderful weekend.
This is such a wonderful thing - opening the doors, letting the artisans star in the restoring process, the bakery goods, the local wines, the information rooms. Someday if I get to travel to France I want to see Purnon. I wish that more of the original furnishings could be found and restored to her as well. But being sold off is sad for me to think of, but at least Purnon still stands. ❤

Your open day would have been a treat to experience & it sounds like people were moved by what you are accomplishing for the history of France.

We watch this refurb and see the works being carried out, but it doesn’t show the hard graft/hours/emotions that has gone into this. I can only imagine how hard it actually was.🙏🏽
I wonder what the plans are for when it’s finished. Hosting events? Luxury airbnb? Renting out for movie studios? Endless possibilities. I can’t imagine they would just restore a 105 room chateau and live in there alone.
So glad you decided to document your amazing journey and share it with us. Congratulations on what looks like an very successful opening. Aussie, Aussie Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi! 😊
I would have loved to see her as she is now. A year on will show the rewards of yet another year of a remarkable collaboration. Your channel is so exquisitely moving ...

It's nice that you had the artisans showing their talent during these 2 days. You are unbelievable in your enterprise, and they are the masters craftsmen who make the magic happen. I'm jealous of their skills and have some regret not having embraced such a career in my young age. The work they do every day will last for centuries to come, that is the beauty of their art.

Thanks for your message. Welcome to our channel. We're thrilled you're following our adventure from Melbourne!
I have a lot of respect for people giving a lot of their time to save some of our heritage ! Good luck for the next years to both of u :)
Thank you!
It’s wonderful to see the way the oak frame was built in small sections. So interesting! I also enjoyed hearing the baker talk about how the weather affects the oven and the way the bread bakes. Well done, as always! ❤
Thank you. Yes, both of these were really fascinating insights into tradition crafts - bread making and carpentry.
What a wonderful day for everyone to be able to see all of the incredible work you and the craftsman have done. I just am overwhelmed by the history that those walls have witnessed. Thank you for saving this beauty!!🙏💖🪶💞✨️💜
Thanks for your message and for acknowledging the incredible skills of our artisans - without them saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible.
What a wonderful treat to open the chateau to local and foreign visitors. I always become very emotional watching this beauty reawakening with your patience and love. Beautifully done!
Thank you for your message. It was a wonderful weekend.
This is such a wonderful thing - opening the doors, letting the artisans star in the restoring process, the bakery goods, the local wines, the information rooms. Someday if I get to travel to France I want to see Purnon. I wish that more of the original furnishings could be found and restored to her as well. But being sold off is sad for me to think of, but at least Purnon still stands. ❤
Thank you for your message. We hope to welcome you to Chateau de Purnon during one of our Open Days!
How beautifully touching to see the chateau restored to her original beauty. It is like sleeping beauty! I love all your wonderful videos....

It's wonderful to share our home with the descendants of the people who built it almost 250 years ago.
Your open day would have been a treat to experience & it sounds like people were moved by what you are accomplishing for the history of France. To see the talented artisans at work up close, shows the techniques used & why this restoration is so important. As always with you two, this was exceptional!

Looks like an unforgettable visit to your beautiful chateau.
Thank you.
Congratulations! The Chateau is beautiful!
Thank you!
merci pour ce beau moment de partage
Merci pour votre message.
We watch this refurb and see the works being carried out, but it doesn’t show the hard graft/hours/emotions that has gone into this. I can only imagine how hard it actually was.🙏🏽
I wonder what the plans are for when it’s finished. Hosting events? Luxury airbnb? Renting out for movie studios? Endless possibilities. I can’t imagine they would just restore a 105 room chateau and live in there alone.
WOW!!!!
Looks like a good turnout for having bad weather
It was a wonderful weekend (despite the rain!)
brilliant work! I can imagine the locals being so happy to see it come alive!
They are thrilled to see the chateau being saved and delighted it's being shared.
Not going to lie my mouth was watering looking at everything that the baker was producing 🤤Looks like an AWESOME DAY 💕🇦🇺💕
They tasted every bit as good as they looked!
So glad you decided to document your amazing journey and share it with us. Congratulations on what looks like an very successful opening. Aussie, Aussie Aussie, Oi! Oi! Oi! 😊

This looks a very interesting and worthwhile visit! One thing strikes me: how quiet woodworking was before electric tools.
Ha! You're quite right.
