    Love your days out for coffee or dinner. You are soon to find a property to buy, you know! Something you just have to have. Love watching!

    Morning Peter & Anna, what a stunning video with so many architectural buildings to see. I can imagine them in their former prime state. A real pity how neglected buildings are vandalised for people's own satisfaction of their greed. So much planning and hard work has gone into those projects and so sad about the chateaux the daughter just giving it up. We never realised what we have until it's gone!! Nice to celebrate with Shirley and John, they always look happy and contented. That cathedral is absolutely stunning. I cannot imagine how they built is in those days and placing those gargoyles on the edges, I think they are horrible but that was the style. It was a nice video |Peter away from home for a change, a quiet video as well. Take care kind regards.

    Beautiful chateau! It's such a pity to see it go to ruin.
    Pleased to see you both and your friends wearing black armbands in honour of our beloved Queen. I join you in your toast to the King.

    Nice day out brocanting. Sad about the chateau and so sad this happens to so many chateau restoration owners. I hope the present owners get a good price for it and rebuild their lives elsewhere.
    So nice to toast our new King.

    Well that was a nice surprise! It's just after 1am here in New Zealand, and I've been watching a documentary. I just thought I'd pop over to TH-cam and there you were! Limoges looks so beautiful in that sunshine, very cool brocante! It's sad when families have to lose their chateau, hope it gets good new owners. I do love it when you take me tripping around, I'm getting to know the French countryside pretty well, I can even recognise some places now! Big hugs and special pats for Charlie and the kitty cats xx

    Several you tubers show brochants and I speed through them. But yours is different...something about the soft music, your pace and your narration causes me to watch each second of it! I enjoy your videos immensely. I've watched you since you began and look forward to each video. You have a unique outlook, style and sense of humor that I appreciate. You can make and repair anything. I think you're brilliant!

    Happy Friday! Oh so disheartening to not be able to finish restoration! Thank you for including us in your travel into town to celebrate your friends anniversary. Anna! Please bring back your wonderful giggle. I miss it when I don't hear it! Say hello to all the farm animals as I am one that loves seeing what they are up to. I always look forward to the videos. Have a good weekend. Your friend, Carolyn from Colorado USA. PS. We aren't all nuts!

    What gorgeous sounding church bells, and I love the old architecture of cathedrals and churches. They just fill my mind with wonder at how they’ve stood the test of time. The masons and anyone that had a part in building them did beautiful work.
    Modern buildings can be lovely but not a lot of style. Art Deco is very nice too.
    Beautiful weather for a walk about and nice visit to celebrate an anniversary with friends. Your meals look amazing.
    What a beautiful château and land. So good to hear about the history about the home. Very sad that the daughter didn’t have a love for her home. Sad ending for what was a jewel of a property.
    Thank you Peter an Anna for taking us along on another day out. Such fun.
    Have a great weekend my friends. From Northern California. It’s finally cooling down. ❤❤❤

    I was sad for you when you left the chateau but now your videos are as the man said( it's like a box of chocolates you never know what you will get .) such a lovely mixture, although I live in France you show places I probably will never get to so thanks

    I have just watched the video made by the owners of Walmath and the work they did was stupendous ! Sad that they too are losing their project.

  • @rosemarythyme6351
    @rosemarythyme6351 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Did anyone else whisper back to Peter, "Yes, go in!" at the Gardener's cottage at Walmath Chateau?
    In the past, have you filmed inside that gorgeous cathedral before? I would love to see the architecture and the stained glass lit up! I loved Anna's up-do. So pretty!

    Very nice tour around Limoge and the Brocante finished off with a lovely lunch with friends. So sad to hear about that Chateau Walmart you would think the government would somehow assist the owners in the maintenance of these buildings as they are a part of history. Thank you for the video

    You’d think with all these beautiful building that there would be a trust and funds would be allocated for repair and restoration. I guess one’s loss is another gain. Very sad!

    Another lovely trip out, the brochante was great and the food looked absolutely delicious, is the cost of living more or less than in England?? The chateau was beautiful it’s such a shame it’s having to be sold, but they must be a real money pit sometimes I bet when you have finished one job there are many more waiting to be done.Carry on blogging I love looking, and feeling like part of your adventures in France,
    Love Aileen xx

    Sadly hundreds of chateaux in France that were liveable a decade or two ago are now derelect, always gets me angry. An amazing large Georgian house in which I played as a teen in Scotland that was perfect, is now four ivy covered walls ( on the buildings at risk register ) all because of neglect.

    I just love Limoges so many beautiful buildings there. What a shame lovey buildings just are left to ruin. Does the chateau that is up for sale need a lot of works done to it? It would be a magnificent building if was brought back to its former glory. Loved watching Peter and Anna

    Great video as usual guys, I love coming out with you two, makes me so sad when people lose there Chateaus due to funding, an English person or an American will buy that, at least I hope so it’s too beautiful to go to rack and ruin, much love to you both xxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Another wonderful day out with your friends, the food looked yummy. The church was stunning and everywhere looked nice and busy. I get the feeling you would still love a chateau as so would I but in reality they are mostly money pits. To buy one cheap you need the time and funs to get you to where they can earn you a living. Were as now you are living your life. Any plans on a gite to earn an income? You were looking a little house a while ago. X

    If you want to buy a chateau/Manoir in France remember LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION...is there enough in the region to attract the clients that can and will pay the amount you want to charge...a chateau alone will not entice the tourists in unless you buy Versailles or Cinderella's castle in Disneyland Paris...So many chateaux are next to nothing in the middle of nowhere and advertised as calm, stress free which also means you cannot buy fresh bread unless you spend 50 Euros/Bucks/40 Pounds on essence to drive to the nearest bakery!!!! that adds up...50 bucks for a baguette?????

    Sadly Peter! It’s a common theme. Such a waste of heritage and beauty. If left in such disrepair then it should be given to the town and people with some ownership back to the owners.
