Bonjour denise. I'm a French woman living in QLD Australia, and I have absolutely enjoyed your channel since day 1. Well done to you both, for all the blood,sweat, tears and cheers you have put into creating your new life. Love your channel.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

@@akalilith98 Thank you so very much. It’s wonderful to know that I like what we are doing. 🇫🇷❤️

[@toots4205]

I didnt even realize there was a pattern on the stone patio! It looks great! Take care of yourself, you cant ignore your body when its telling you to rest ❤ great job team Londigny

[@debra7241]

Hello lovely Denise, everything is looking so incredibly amazing and beautiful and you’re not even done yet. I just love the guys that help you, and I love how you treat them and how you are also hands on with the work whenever possible. Where would you be without this wonderful team, and them, you. Beautiful relationships and team work. Please take care of yourself while working by keeping hydrated. Taking extra minerals helps. Where I live in the United States, in Arizona, it gets up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit! We’ve had a few deaths already here, and they very sadly included a young 10 yr old boy who passed away last week while trying to hike with his family. The heat is nothing to mess around with. 💜👏🌺

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you Debra for your lovely comment and concerns. I can only imagine that the heat in Arizona must be so exhausting and extreme. Please also take good care of yourself! 🤍 Feeling for the family of the little boy. 🤍

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

Take care of yourself Denise. Love the way you take care of your team. Your own care is vital. Get well.

[@mohumphries7149]

Please take care of yourself Denise,we would all miss you terribly if you got really sick ❤😊❤😊❤ take care and God bless 🙌

[@user-lz3bc3qe7g]

His Love is with you, Dear Denise. It is no wonder your body has screamed at you, requiring you to pay attention to it. The work that you present on your posts is a testament to how hard you work in every aspect of your life. Restoring a chateau is HUGE. take care, sweetie-pie ( Schatzie) xxoo🇨🇦

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you so much for those words! ☺️☺️🥰 You must know german.

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Wow! So many projects going on at once. I can’t imagine.😊

[@cheriesharp234]

I'm sorry to hear that you've not been well and needed medical attention. Everyone has been working hard and making lots of progress this week. Hope it's not long before Brett is back. X

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

He will be back on Sunday! 🎉💐🥰🔜

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Lovely Denise I really hope you are feeling better. So scary to have to go to hospital without Brett for support. The chateau is coming to life in all directions. The gates are beautiful and what joy not to have to open and close manually. The mouldings look good and can’t wait to see that room painted. I can only imagine how excited you must be. Then there is the spa area. Wow that will be gorgeous. I can just see the boys in their towelling dressing gowns getting relaxed🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👌👌

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Hehe Susie, the boys can see themselves too! I am pretty sure! I keep telling them that I will wait for them and their wife’s to have a day in the Spa Cave! 🥰

[@artyfree]

The old door would be amazing as a coffee table.

[@user-ji8cq2rj3v]

Glad to see you up and doing better I hope. Please take care and they’re right, be careful of the heat and drink a lot of water. It all looks wonderful!!!!

I’m glad you’re feeling better Denise. I love your style….classic, effortless and soothing.

[@TheCrowsNest1950]

Hi Denise & Brett, Now I understand the project and the plunge pool that you designing. It will surely provide the spa guests with an additional option at the Chateau. The wall treatment with the molding in the suite will certainly add another level of sophistication to the suite. Keep the great work. Mark & Scott

[@laurahosler1771]

I can’t emphasize enough how fortunate you are to have such an amazing CREW! That place would not be coming along as it has without them! Hats off to each of you men! Love how you give them a shout out Denise❤ you take care of yourself, too. Stress is a killer!

Hallo Dennise schön zu hören, daß es Dir wieder besser geht. Das war mal ein Warnschuß, daß auch Du mal ne Pause brauchst egal welcher Zeitdruck herrscht. Die Jungs haben wieder tolle Arbeit geleistet und es ist schön zu sehen wie ihr wieder Leben in die Gran Damme einflößt. Paßt auf Euch auf! 👍🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@peterwhite9261]

I am glad you are feeling better, Denise. Take care of yourself. I am also glad the guys were OK when the mini digger overheated. You have so much going on. The progress is going well.

[@bobbiejay2085]

Such a cracking pace. Our bodies do speak up, and we need to listen. Even the little digger needed to rest. August pressures are setting the pace for All. Fabulous team.

Sorry to hear you had to go to hospital!! I hope you are feeling much better now. Everything is looking wonderful. Xx Kelly from Australia xx PS I am coming to France in late September! I am so excited!

Hi Denise, agree with all the other caring comments. You MUST take care of yourself. Things are looking wonderful, you have a great team. I love the look of the fabric and the panels are going look great in the room. Rest up and all the very best.

[@robrichards6219]

So much happening. Phenomenal!

[@karenbrindley7170]

Denise, you have a great team that is doing wonders. Take care of yourself. Together, you all succeed.

[@debbiecagliarini4421]

Denise hope you are well and not pushing yourself too hard. Both those curtain fabrics are beautiful for the exact opposite reasons. The velvet for its richness and warmth where it will block out the cold and the patterned linen one for its print which brings another layer of lightness, texture and elegance. Which ever one you choose will be beautiful. Looking forward to the next video, take care xx

[@dianayavetz6286]

Your beautiful chateau should be featured on the UK Channel 4 programme Chateau DIY. It would bring in so much revenue. It is a really popular programme but totally understand if it’s not your thing.

[@janehealy1956]

I love how you look after your team Denise. We (the viewer) can see how they appreciate it by the hard yards they're putting in to help you get the chateau spa ready. You too are working very hard and so whatever it is that popped you into medical care may be a reminder to nurture yourself as well. Naturopath here, always telling people what to do lol. I'm from NZ (have lived in Oz / once upon a time) and I can definitely see how your life and interior design training in Australia has influenced your classic timeless, yet rustic sense of style. Love it! Well done to you and all involved. Keep up the mahi - can't wait to see the end result xo

[@Eirene-vw1dt]

What a shock to see you in the hospital Denise. I couldn't stop thinking about it all through the remainder of the video. Hope you're feeling much better now. I finally stopped working at 68 and have put off so much the last two years in particular that I now need to get around too....but the words 'go easy' keep rolling around in my head. So, go easy Denise, deadlines are great however for all of us, health first. Big hugs from across the pond. ♥️🇨🇦

I am waiting to see what the entrance to that spa cave will be like from the outside of the château. I would say dig out 3 feet more of dirt on each side. Then break it off or stone it off to match the exterior of the château. And then you will have an outside patio for the spa

[@sanco511]

[@jaysmith8199]

Need to take care of yourself, Denise 😊 The patio is gorgeous. Has a solution of bleach been put down then powered off used? Will brighten the pattern again. Wow! Plunge pool in the cave how lovely and almost womb like. Reminds me of Roman plunge pools. Grey...... so disappointed 😞 It's the 21st century equivalent of magnolia, ubiquitous and boring. Lovely pattern, not lovely colour. Silver is much better. Lighter, not dull, and the chateau deserves that!

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you Jay, wait and see until everything is coming together! It’s all falling into place soon! 💫💫💫

[@MamaRazz]

Is there any way you can make the sound consistent? I find myself adjusting the volume throughout the videos hoping that someone would notice. Perhaps a lapel microphone would be helpful. You have a very soft voice. There is rarely an issue when the men speak except when windy or in the basement where then is unable to bounce off the walls. I also find the great music you have is overpowering Anxious for the grand opening.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you for your feedback. x

[@svg7335]

It was very difficult to hear you at the beginning because of the echo in the room. It sounded like you weren't wearing a microphone and we're speaking softly. 😊 Oh, I just saw where you were I'll. I'm so sorry. I'm 67 and it's still difficult sometimes to make myself listen to my body when it's telli g me to stop and rest. We want to argue with ourself and say, "I'm almost finished, just a little bit more." But sometimes the little bit more can have tragic consequences. Everyone knows you work very hard. Don't worry about anyone judging you if you need to pause. You are their driving force.They need you to stay well to captain the ship. Your health is more important than deadlines. You may have to adjust your goals or expectations. My daughter was 10 or 12 when I was frantically preparing to host a neighborhood Christmas party. I was upset because a couple of the decorations I wanted out weren't done. She said. "You know mom, They won't know they're missing. You are the only one who cares." I've remembered her wisdom through the years when I put too much pressure on myself. I hope it's something that will resonate with you. You have accomplished more in a few weeks with your amazing team than many chatelains do in a couple of years. Take pride in that and stay healthy. ❤

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Denise, I am not sure about France. In the USA, when digging in basements or crawl spaces, they have a test to test for Rayon Gas. That can make people sick. My sister had to have a pipe with a meter on it to monitor the gas because she had it in her basement.

While you are working so hard make sure you are drinking enough water and eat an apple with a little salt on it to keep electrolyte's up. I get heat stroke and it's not nice and can be very dangerous. You know you are in big trouble if you stop sweating. get to somewhere cool and sip sports drinks. You have to be very careful after heat stroke it can happen again very easily once you have been affected.
