A gorgeous mediterranean style French farmhouse in Provence

[@athletikonaol]

Restoring an historic building like this does more than make a nice place to stay. It restores a part of history and evokes emotions and memories of that time. It's a giant investment with its reward felt in the hearts of those who visit.

[@eminem1522]

Keeping the furniture raw is the best part i found since no compromise with the natural originality of the materials used.

[@kathryntrapman3917]

A true craftsman and artist. He has done a beautiful job transforming this beauty. Love everything he has done, absolutely Gorgeous….

[@cbrisalchemist6887]

I just got so emotional...it touched me deeply to see the care that went into this restoration. I’m missing Provence deeply. ❤

[@moniquechristiansen6202]

I did, too! I’m wondering why it’s having that effect on me. I’m soaking up every stone, every wall, every beam. It’s touching some part of me that I don’t understand. It’s pure beauty. ♥️

[@cbrisalchemist6887]

@@moniquechristiansen6202 I truly believe it’s a resonance to a past life or deep in my dna…I have been in a couple of places in France that felt so much like soul home. I had not experienced that before and have lived in over 30 locations. It floored me when I felt it. Watching this reminded me of that feeling. 💖💫it feels exquisite.

[@moniquechristiansen6202]

@@cbrisalchemist6887 I was thinking that, too. Like, did I live here before? It was so strange. The minute I started watching, I got tears in my eyes, my chest swelled up and my heart started beating faster and lasted throughout the video. I was trying to “remember” something. Anything. 😭 💔

Thanks for sharing. A great way to escape without leaving home!

[@fionaharumia4776]

cozy, warm , and simple. Love that

[@elenakostariver1321]

It is so understandable the nature of house,because the naturel of France nature dictated this style by sun shadows, sky,everything as gift to archtect to do this soft and cozy environment. Thank you.

[@yeonchung1040]

I like the atmosphere that shows serenity and tranquility, which is hard to see in urban life.

[@maurawhelan3530]

The simplicity of the house and homage to traditional building techniques are what I liked. Gorgeous home, thank you for sharing

[@lynnegunn3478]

Just perfect, open, simplicity and very exceptional taste! Bravo!

[@whitecloakandhalo]

I love the provocative nature of French farm houses in Provence because of the minimalism and yet there's so much richness and sophistication to its characteristics.

[@timeandplace4114]

I love the simplicity of the kitchen which made it beautiful, warm, and inviting. I could actually see myself content and cheerful there. Perhaps, one day. Thank you, from the High Desert of Southern California.

[@anweshakar146]

I just love the soft colours, all the beautiful browns and greys! Enchanting.

[@shunyabinduinteriors]

absolutely loved the way the house has been restored without resorting to use the " so called " modern day materials.The present day architects should learn from this work.Really inspiring.

[@lindas5964]

The simplicity and authentic earthy materials is so calming. Just watching the video changes my whole mood. Thank goodness for the people who work so hard to preserve these wonders of a different time. They are irreplaceable.

[@deborahyee2253]

This farmhouse is so invitingly peaceful with an earthy ambience and history that warms the soul! Would have loved to have seen the sunflowers!! :)))

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Ooooo me too!! I guess we’ll have no other choice but to go (back) in the summer… life is hard 🤣🤣

[@catharinavolker3017]

Love the simplicity in a world where everybody chases after material things!!!

[@zondrabarricks4666]

The sensitive caring restoration…just beautiful!

[@jeanniecollier6763]

This home took my breath away. What a beautiful transformation. I love everything about this house: the soothing colors, the kitchen countertops, the beams, the arched doors, and the serene feeling it resonates. Thank the owners for sharing their home with your viewers.

[@luisaleonardi666]

What a nice time spent at the French bastida full of refined colours and atmosphere. Thanks for taking us along.❤

[@frenchfan1278]

It’s so dreamy and peaceful. Love that house. Simple elegance and warmth .

[@MillieMartinez-z3y]

I love the way they restored and also adding just a touch of modern look . ❤

[@lmajor7843]

We stayed in a small village in Provence about 10 years ago, when my spouse had a work project there. Our children were very small (1 and 3), and we stayed in a Gite with a very similar look to Julien's home. He has done an amazing amount of work to restore the place; it is indeed very lovely. And I think you have done a great job telling the story. I'm glad to have discovered your channel.

[@FrenchCountryLife]

Thank you! And welcome!

[@moniquerutten8198]

So Beautiful and Serene... love how he used traditional styling and building materials a lot. Really authentic peace of art and skills !

[@celinaderose]

Beautifully restored farmhouse! Thank you for sharing ♥️

[@KanikaSidharth]

I loved the house and equally loved the beautiful family who are eating food and drinking water seated on chairs with a dining table on which the food and water is kept in utensils, glasses and plates.

[@seashells5181]

WOW he must have spent a fortune on this place. Basically stripping everything Down. to restore it back. So glad he has the knowledge and money to restore it.

[@seviregis7441]

He did a magnificent renovation there. And that isn’t easy, as we know... tons of hard labor, but well worth it when you see the finished result, and can enjoy it for years to come.

[@joannegreig9231]

Hi Marloes, I'm Joanne from Waldport, Oregon, USA on the Pacific Ocean. I just found your vlogs and have binged for the past 2 days! Your unique style and beautiful filming w/calming music has brightened my current Pacific Northwest rainy days. I love thrift shopping, eating, and exploring nature as well. Thank you for also taking your viewers around France and educating us on classic farm house pottery, etc. Continued success w/your fabulous home remodeling.

What a labor of love!❤️ I loved seeing this old French farmhouse in the before stages, and then to the present after being restored. He has done a beautiful job! I loved everything… the old stone exterior, shutters, doors, fireplace, and claw foot 🛁 tub, etc. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful French farmhouse tour with us!!

[@seejam1666]

I just love this kind of farmhouse , very natural, rustic, just beautiful .

[@taitweigel64]

Julien is a hard worker, visionary, and interior decorator. I love the rustic simplicity mixed with highly contemporary touches. This would be a wonderful place to stay. Simple floral arrangements and using objects layered on a slice of tree as a pedestal....he's original.

[@susanswinskey8573]

I've the simple elegance and the calm of soft light colors and natural light woods.

Thank you for the lovely video. Thank goodness there are people like Julien that will take time to restore a historic home. Beautiful, serene, understated elegance.

[@rneustel388]

I loved everything, but the walls, both interior and exterior, had my heart! My father was a residential painter and also hung and finished drywall, but I’ve never seen the sort of wall compound that was used here. It’s stunning, warm and full of life, and a labor of love! Thank you so much for sharing this exquisite and charming home!!

I'm just discovering this channel. All of my dreams are here. I can't believe that such places truly exist and that actual human beings live there.

[@miaballester3978]

When you stated that the fields were planted with sunflowers in the summer, I immediately thought of Vicente Van Gogh!!!! Beautiful and majestic!!!

[@sylviacarlson3561]

Julien seems like a Master of all trades. I love the Stucco look of the Chateau. It is sturdy, but very lovely. Very welcoming. I'd stay in a minute.

[@lyndaprather2138]

What did I like? Simply everything. I have such a huge amount of respect for old buildings and the lives they have led. I love the rustic simplicity of the interior, so different from the overdone formality I see in many homes. I enjoy the signs of wear and tear, the faded shutters and th grease stains in the kitchen. It just looks COMFORTABLE!

I loved it and I thought it was so earthy.

[@belindawalker3120]

Oh how beautiful a place! It must be even more stunning when the sunflowers are in bloom, can you imagine standing by the windows looking out onto the fields. Thank you for showing this, its amazing what hard work and dedication can do, well done Julien.

[@alixmordant489]

He did a great job restoring the house. I especially liked the good (natural and traditional) materials he used. I do not like plasterboard, foams of all sorts and other modern quick and easy to use materials which look ugly, boring and are often full of rather harmful chemicals. Lime, as a wash or rendering/plaster is great for old houses, e.g. it is good against mold. Bravo that someone is still using it.

[@pamhuber6661]

Love this. I would be so proud to accomplish a restoration like this. A beautiful place.

[@verne8888]

Exactly my taste, everything! Bravo for all the incredible hard work!

[@andreacleghorn479]

What a beautiful, tranquil house. The colors chosen for the place, the music you selected, all perfectly integrated! Wonderful job! Thank you.
