Incredible, wondrous, astonishing, beautiful, inspirational, bizarre---all of those things and more. A million thank-yous for bringing this beautiful chateau to viewers---I'll be forever grateful to KZbin for suggesting it! It goes into my "Extra Special" playlist so that I may watch it over & over again. The photography/videography was fabulous, so well done, givng time enough to absorb some of the wonder of that place. The before/after at the end was mind-blowing---looking at how perfectly preserved the place was I had been assuming that the place had been well-cared for all these years. To see the ruin that it became & the result of 20 years of restoration---I have no words. Like others, I would take issue with the terrible echo in that room---record someplace where there is upholstery, curtains, rugs to muffle that. Your voice & accent are lovely but between the echo & the music playing loudly & randomly, I had to turn on the closed caption to hear, when all I wanted to do was look at the wonders on the screen. Luckily I can watch this as much as I like. I have subscribed in the hope that you will be doing the "Grand Tour" of Europe (or anywhere else!). Well. Done!

EXTRAORDINARY. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!

Please what is the music that starts at 5:13!?!?!?!??

Bravissima !

Stupendo grazie

Why would;d you need a sofa for taking opium when you lived in a place as wonderful, wonder filled as this

Lovely job

Fabulous information! Great presentation of this one of a kind property, thank you!

I saw this amazing place in another video (before renovation) and am so glad to get a good look at it now, plus more information. I had to turn the volume way up because your voice was not clear, but mostly wanted the visuals anyway- thanks.

Thank you, Ottavia! I am in awe of the imagination, the creativity, the craftsmanship and the magical energy of this magnificent piece of art. I can only imagine what it felt like to be around his creative mind. Having never heard of Chateau Laurens before, it is now on my bucket list. Thank you so much for sharing! ❤️🌻🦋

Horrified that your other videos show the killing of defenseless beautiful wildlife. Definitely not subscribing! Horrible.

Her Mic is on the camera so room acoustics are " echoing "

THNX fer tour love art nouveau Great soundtrack EBABCOCK

Very interesting. I’m familiar with the art nouveau “greatest hits,” but have never heard of Chateau Laurens - fantastic. I hope I get to see it in person.

Exquisite

This is thee most amazing villa EVER !!! Another great walk-through was done by Stephanie and Philip on their channel "Chateau Diaries" and I was hooked and enthralled! Your coverage is excellent and I especially enjoyed the closing with the Before and After images! This gentleman/builder had a fantastic vision no doubt aided by his opium habits. Colors on the floor via the stained glass are magnificent. I must come and see it for myself! Thank you!

Wow, That is a style I adore. What a gift to the world left by the creators and restorers and those that funded it. 🙏

artistic geniuses exist in all epochs! I would love to spend one night in that homage to Art Nouveau!

So where did all of this indulgent wealth all come from? Perhaps French Colonialism? Perhaps the Roman Catholic Doctrine Of Discovery? "What's yours in now ours." 💙

Sublime.

Wonderful documentary!

That bath is a dream in mosaics! Wonderful home.

wow ,, words are surperfluous absolutely outstanding

Super fascinating, thanks for revealing this architectural treasure.

What’s with the echo chamber? Very distracting.

Once filled with lost Carlo Bugatti furniture, silk road textiles, and oriental art. An art nouveau version of Lord Leighton house.

Fascinatingly beautiful! The overly flowery decoration of every surface is dizzying! And in answer what others commented, the sound quality was not a problem for me.

curious audio quality -- why does she have an echo? sounds like she was in a cave instead of that room.

Quelle merveille ! Merci de nous l'avoir fait découvrir : -)))

Thank you for the discovery !!

Superbe!! What a Glorious house build by a very intriguing man. By the way, I had no problem at all with hearing your voice, oke, maybe a little “echo”, but I prefer that to all the AI voice overs you hear these says Again 🦋🙏🏽🦋

Ottavia, could you please re-do the audio? It is quite difficult to understand. It is seems so interesting, it is a pitty!

Really nice documentary of a part of Art Nouveau that was thus far unknown. Will visit next time I am in the south of France!

Very intriguing concept however I wont watch it because the quality of your microphone is so poor.

Ma quanti elefanti africani Hanno ucciso per divertimento durante il loro safari questo fa male
