A Tour of This Stunning French Castle: Part 2

[@carynkabat4208]

It is stunning and you (Michael) could do this professionally. I love listening to you describe the objects in your chateau. I also appreciate the art you create.

[@shirleyleichliter4487]

I don't remember the details in the fire place in the dinning room it's all beautiful but it's really nice hearing you tell all about these pieces

[@carolyn279]

Seeing Michaels cheerful face makes this being a Monday much more tolerable! 🤗🥰

[@annamweirich6883]

You know Michael you are the very reason why I started watching your video's and then started watching Stephanie's channel and started watching Billy's,Sean's and Ryan's channels. You bring alot of things like history to the table, I appreciate everything you do. Thank you for today's tour, and I'm looking forward to more.

[@maryannspicher]

I watched Michaels vlogs first as well. When I saw him talking to this strange woman I had to know who this weird person was 😂 Now I watch hers and many others. They’re better than anything on tv!

[@maryannspicher]

I mean weird in the best possible way, no as an insult. I love weird 😂

[@nadeansimmons226]

Me too. Watched you first and then got on to the others. They all owe you a great debt

[@judygillespie3242]

I enjoy at lot of the other channels but I have always been true to you. I am not a fan of your girlfriend... Comes across phoney. Enjoyed the tour. Its beautiful and appreciate the hard work you all do.

[@skieje]

I also watch Billy and Sean because of Michael. I like Billy's channel, but even on that one when Michael appears it adds even more (in my opinion)!

[@dianalewis8548]

Never get tired of hearing the history of your château. I love all the details of the decor and the changes the rooms have gone through. Florian is doing a great job filming. Music is perfect. Stay safe.

[@normamurray4450]

Wow Michael! You are a natural in so many ways....your ability to share history, tell stories in such a captivating way, is wonderful. I am so glad you're back with us.

[@CarolynKeesee]

I miss your videos. You have so much talent, musician, chef, artist, home designer. Your work on the convents organ, remarkable!

[@rebyl2600]

I am so glad that you’re back making videos. You’ve done a fantastic job, telling us all about everything in the Château and the history behind the pieces. Love it! Also, I wanted to add that everything from the intro to the videography and the music is spot on. So professionally done. Bravo!!

[@heidi3597]

Michael, you're a terrific tour guide! Your knowledge about all the beautiful details is fascinating!! I look forward to the next installment. ❤❤

[@helenstella2666]

It’s Michael time ❤❤❤ Your descriptions of the Chateau are so fascinating .. & I could listen to your voice for hours Michael. Thank you 🥰

[@jackiejones690]

No moment spent with you is wasted time...thank you Michael for you generosity

[@JLHill-u8x]

Please, please, please, do more tours of the castle. You are so informative and entertaining. Michael, you have something special, never listen to the haters. Stupid people say stupid things, don't punish all of the thousands of subscribers that love you.

[@TRoth858]

Fabulous tour Michael. I now need to go find your tours of the other floors. I so love your positive attitude, and cheerful, but sometimes cheeky smile. 🤗

[@lenajaques4183]

Fantastic Michael……..thank you…! I’ve got to say having followed Billy, Gwendolyn and yourself from day one the Chateau could not have been in better hands …..now with all your family joining you three it’s all looking amazing and the next generation, Ernest and Archie, already putting their stamp on it too …..not to mention all the pets….! I’m looking forward to seeing your and your parents cottages finished Michael ….! Not only that the Convent is coming on in leaps and bounds too…….so looking forward to seeing Sadie and Mo’s home finished …! Xx

[@dawnbarnes8729]

I love how y’all are trying to restore as much of the original features as possible. It’s a beautiful home and worthy of restoration and preservation. I’m thankful for you and your family who have taken up the mantle of caretakers of this beautiful property. ❤️😊

[@jeanblyth6305]

The fireplace is amazing Chandelier “gorgeous “ What a stunning room 😮 Michael you must feel very privileged to stay in such a Beautiful chateau ❤❤

[@jdos5643]

It must be anyones dream to live in a place like that surrounded by lush gardens and forest and a grand estate with so much wealth in it. The pathericks are probably so used to all this and here I am just dreaming away.

[@ericacole7102]

It is so nice to see you back and so relaxed. I remember you sanding those stairs.

[@LindaLandsverk]

No heat on though as he said.

[@TheWonderwy]

Michael, this is the first tour I've watched by you. You are an impressive young man. ( I will be 67 in a few months, so yes, you are a young man. 😊😉) I love your style! How talented you, and your family are. Your artwork and artistic flare shine through. God bless you, and thank you for your hard work in putting these vids out for us to enjoy.

[@LindaArens]

Brilliant. I agree with others that you could do this professionally. Your warmth and voice makes it a pleasure to discouver the history of the chateau with a cup of tea.

[@brianleonard6025]

Wow, simply stunning Grand House! The details to the interior rooms are mind boggling! Michael you are the most perfect host for taking all of us on a house tour with all your knowledge of the antique pieces used for decorating each room! Some of these details to these rooms are actually quite amazing that Billy and you were able to find these pieces!! I look forward to seeing the next episode of your Chateaux tour! Welcome back Michael what an incredible comeback!!!

[@donaldprice9569]

Brilliant Michael--you have been missed. Thank you for adding greatly to my continuing education,.. You are one-in-a-million!

[@MsSherryjh]

Thanks from NJ in the US, Michael, Family, and Friends, for sharing your restoration journeys with us. It's been fun and so educational watching all the cooperation and work that is needed to restore these beautiful buildings.

[@less5851]

Love the Dining room ceiling

[@karenjaques3937]

Thank you for sharing your spectacular chateaux. You are very in tune with the humble among the Lions. You have a marvellous vlog and you are so genuine with your love of beautiful arts and crafts. As a guest and spectator to your presentation I must admit your brother Billy and you are so similar it's like a magical enchanting awesome experience watching you on You Tube. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and achievements. Lots of ❤ from a humble cowgirl in Arizona. 😊

[@meganhall1306]

I’ve watched doing it ourselves and the pethericks from day one but this update is so good Michael, I love it, thanks xxx💕💕

[@rolo4945]

Hope Billy has given you freedom to take over the decorating!

[@nunyad.bidnezz9127]

What’s going on with the gardener’s cottage? It would be nice to see if it’s finished.

[@susibatstone4153]

The vanished Malaysian owner intrigues me! Another story there, I’m thinking. So sad that so much got destroyed in such a short time.

[@taitweigel64]

Your brother, Billy, and you, along with the drapery maker, Alexander, have done a fantastic job.

[@Rain-Peters]

I miss Alexander. I wish he would come back.

[@selinawilsonart]

Such a treat to see the details and have them so eloquently explained. Thanks Michael and Florian 🙏💖

[@BlueDog263]

I just realized that the dinning table has been moved back after being moved to the other side of the chateau in one of the earlier videos.

[@aislingmaguire3725]

So glad you did appear on our tv screens 6 yrs ago and decided to vlog to inform and entertain us with your channel. Here's to many more of your vlogs to come 🥰

[@Ruben-Mazereeuw]

The "pool table" is probably a snooker table considering the large dimensions of it. It's definitely not a billiard table because they have no pockets. But anyways a great item for in a large house like this.😉

[@carlmuhm3896]

The Chateau is alive with the help of Michael, sharing the rich, wonderful history.. Love ❤️ this video, Michael.

[@monikakopecka9375]

these videos bring me so much comfort❤️i get a boost of serotonin everytime i see the intro 🥹

[@susangillespie7226]

Lovely to see you micheal,missed you 😊

[@jonimarchese7655]

Michael, part 2 was just as nice as part 1, it is nice to revisit the Chateau, from the ground up, you all have done so much to make her beautiful again. The woodwork on the fireplace is stunning. Hi to Florian, and waiting for the next video. Love from N.Y.

[@mariaclutterbuck5248]

❤ it's like coming home watching you again Michael. Another perfect vlog. Xx

[@debpate9405]

Dear Michael, I have never seen you look so happy, healthy and handsome. The twinkle in your eyes is delightful. I wish you great success. ❤

[@aliciareams3464]

I’m so glad you are back ❤ I have missed you and videos from the chateau since you and Billy both stopped filming there. These make me so happy!

[@johanmaass4687]

I thought Amphitrite was something you took for joint pains (03:05) Either that or I struck it in Minecraft once... Love this tour, all the rooms are so beautiful 😍

[@susanpaczek8785]

I am so happy you are back filming Michael, you make my heart happy😊

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

Its great to be back, And thank you for becoming a Channel member xxx

[@eightiesallen3180]

You can replicate the missing moulding using a CNC machine and some 3-D scanning cameras and software. There are some attachments you can purchase that attach to a cell phone even, but I am not sure how effective they are. It is also good for replicating damaged freeze work and crown moulding. The costs are generally worth it when you are looking at something the size of your chateau. Plus, you can make it a revenue source, helping other chateau owners with their specific needs (replacements, etc.)

[@karensinclair4189]

Great commentary. Thank you!

[@juliacobb4355]

It’s gorgeous. I’m loving this tour. Hopefully you’ll be able to do this weekly as we all miss you.

[@bonniebeingbonnie001]

Happy to see you back. This entire family is wonderful.

[@mathiasmilne]

I forgot to mention on the last video but loving the new intro Michael! Well done.

[@cliveroulstone9366]

Thanks Michael for showing us around it was your KZbin channel that helped me and many more people through lock down and Stephanie and its great to see you back ❤

[@1lavishone]

Gorgeous rooms. So many things I'd never seen before. Thank you for sharing the details and reviewing the styles of each room. Your detail and background really enhanced my understanding of the work that's been done (and what lies ahead). Excited to see what you share next.

[@diannaperley9193]

Michael, Wonderful to be able to see you again and thank you for your tour. I'm excited beyond words. God bless you and yours

[@judymiller4880]

Hi Michael, greetings from the Garden State, USA. It’s fantastic that you’re posting videos again! You’re so knowledgeable about the history of the chateau, the decor & antiques. As a professional Interior Designer, I really appreciate all of the details that you show. Looking forward to your next video.

[@TheasChristmasVillages]

Thank you Michael!! Love having you back, love seeing the chateau in its entirety. Carol from Chateau de la Ferrté has developed a procedure to rebuild those ornate scrolls etc. with plaster and gold leaf. She's done an amazing job in her grande salon. You should check it out.

[@marilynhaverly570]

Who needs food in that dining room? It's a feast all on its own. That rug! The fireplace! Etc. Thank you for the detailed look.

[@toddmurphy523]

Unbelievably stunning work your family has done to bring back this fabulous Chateaux.

[@fedupnow61859]

Your artistry gorgeous. You've done a beautifull job with keeping things the way they should be restored.

[@Sazwaz2009]

Love the new intro 👍 such beautiful rooms, with some amazing architecture, thanks for the tour and you don't ramble, it's interesting into on the history and symbolism, connected to each era. Fascinating stuff.

[@lphelan100]

Good to see you back Michael....you're looking and sounding good!

[@nyckolaus]

Fascinating! Thank you, Michael!

[@Rain-Peters]

Worlds best b roll ever Michael! Love all the extra shots. Very pretty.

[@robintatina9819]

Thank you for showing us all the beautiful features of your Chateau renovation. It is stunning! Your videos are informative, beautiful and so well done. Loving every shot!

[@Helene2367]

Michael, I could listen to you talk about history all night long. Such beautiful pieces and Billy has great taste in everything he buys. Love the tour so far.

[@lordsleepyhead]

Show us more of your cottage Michael! 😁

[@sherrylelee8274]

Well done Michael, your vlog so interesting relating the history of the Château and describing the pieces and room. It is a real joy to have you back. You are knowledgeable, creative and special. Thanks for returning, have sincerely missed you 👍🏻👏🏻🇳🇿New Zealand 🇳🇿🌹❤️

[@nanakansas]

Very beautiful place and you are so blessed and we are grateful that you are sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! Michael, you have so many and amazing talents. Thank you! So glad you are back!!

[@nizethpretorius2400]

You walked to the piano, i was getting all excited that you were going to play

[@staciamartin923]

On Facebook in one the château groups there is a master carver . He worked with Disney . His work is exquisite. He is retired .I’m sure the medalians could be replicated or like others that didn’t carve their own they made molds from existing ones. And used plaster. I’m so glad you are back. Your knowledge, talent and fun loving personality was missed. I prayed for you many days. Not that you would come back to KZbin but that you were happy. You give us so much and so we don’t want to just take . The timber of your voice and your presence giving us a tour has a way of transporting us on KZbin straight into the Chateau. Thank you for your hard work and time of filming and editing . I am super proud of your achievements and I don’t even know you. If you take on another chateau project I know you could make the basement kitchen the envy of any Chateau owner . Your skill set and eye for design is perfection. May you be very blessed .

[@janicetaylor9795]

Thank you Michael,that was really interesting. It's such a beautiful chateau. Looking forward to the next one!😊

[@Jasonmarcnash787]

Most days I’m on my own opening and closing each room for the day at work. It is these moments that I get to appreciate the incredible craftsmanship that goes into these stunningly beautiful rooms. There are a lot of similarities that caught my attention with Chateau de la Basmaignee and Highclere. Thankyou for such an inspiration vlog. Hopefully one day you will get to see these similarities for yourself 😉

[@irenelacour3486]

Thank you Michael for explaining all the different styles and how beautiful the Chateau is

[@jeanettebassett2575]

On the dining room fireplace, the winged staff with the two serpents, (symbol of the god, Hermes), now used for medical symbology is also called a cadeusis.

[@carolinepagett4236]

You should do audio books you’re really easy to listen to xxhugs from England xx

[@JaxonsDd007]

When I joined his channel and became a member that is what I asked him can you please just read to us😊

[@jbart5260]

Everytime I see your Chateau rooms I am amazed all over again. I have to say your camera quailty is so good it is like seeing some of the features for th first time. So So glad you and your cute cameraman are back.

[@faeryvixenetc]

Come Back Michael! we miss you!

[@murlthomas2243]

Everyone in your family has put such love into the Chateau. I hope you love it for a long time to come.

[@jeanettesantarelli1795]

Michael you are an amazing person. Love how you explain things and how your soul shines through

[@NET-POSITIVE]

You can make a mold of those scallop pieces and make plaster copies to replace the ones the caretaker may have thieved from you.

[@lynnhurst7365]

Great video Michael, I don"t realize how beautiful and grand the fireplace was. You and your family have done a wonderful job restoring it. Love the Chateau more and more, it's an enchanting place to live. You are very lucky. Thanks for sharing sending love and hugs from across the pond ❤

[@sampobs302]

So lovely to see you again. I was wondering why don’t you make moulds of the missing gilded wood work so you can then replace them with plaster or resin casts.

[@tropicalmom2468]

Michael, I need you to tour all the historical homes and chateaus explaining everything. You are a delightful tour guide.

[@patcardiff2563]

Michael you have the most beautiful eyes blue but they are the most beautiful blue I have ever seen wow

[@baddog4347]

That ceiling is amazing I would have never guessed it wasn’t wood, I noticed it when you walked in before anything else👍

[@sylviacorner4113]

Michael you are truly a lovely guy. I've always watched your channel. You are a joy to watch and listen to. Your knowledge of things is outstanding, I really love your story telling. I'm enjoying learning and seeing more of that beautiful chatteue. I enjoy watching yours and Billy's channel.

[@patriciajamieson9020]

I love the 2 tone white in the grande salon it is subtle but if you look close you can see 2 different whites .

[@jeanpurvis1620]

Such a beautiful chateau. Thanks for sharing the history of each room. Always sad to hear how see how people neglect and take from a place. You’re all doing a fabulous job restoring as you go. Each generation leaves its mark to a home. Thank you for sharing!

[@madonnadillon5545]

Hey Michael so nice to see you..💕💞🇨🇦👍😊👌🌟🥂😎 that was an Awesome tour..loved it ,hope to see more of the chateau...just so Beautiful...👌

[@michaeldriebeekvanderven]

That was very interesting, Michael. I love it how you take the time showing us around and allow each room to calmly reveal itself to us. There is beauty in every inch! Thank you for doing this, Michael 🙏🏽 And many thanks to the whole Petherick family for being such heartwarming and welcoming people! 🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡🙏🏽🧡 Sending you warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@SuperSunshinesue]

Just beautiful...another world...another time.

[@CynthiaBerry713]

The dining room, with all its grandeur...the paneling, the ceiling, the table and chairs, the buffet, the carpet, the fireplace, that chandelier...oh be still my heart...is THE most stunning room of all the chateaux I've ever seen. I'm simply in awe every time I see it.

[@downunderveggiegardendiaries]

Use the same kit you can buy to fix Gilt Plaster Frames for Paintings to take a mould of the gold plaster design you already have. Do one for the edges as well. Cast them in Plaster of Paris and glue them back onto to the wall. Then guild them and you’ll have them back and no one will notice they were ever gone. Chateau De Columbe did the same thing to replace the tiny gilt plaster rosettes on a mirror they bought secondhand. I am doing the same for my broken plaster art frames.

[@sherryrector2275]

Michael you are an excellent tour guide. So enjoyed this. Even though you don’t want to hear this you have matured and the tour was fabulous.

[@deborahmeyers551]

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

It’s so obvious that you are an artist, Michael, by the way you put together the gorgeous footage of the chateau and its environs. It make me happy to see you happy.

[@paulinedixon3490]

That fireplace is magnificent In fact the whole room is Billy and Gwen have such good taste. The billiard room curtains and paper are the most beautiful blue. I’ve watched from the beginning when Michael and Billy were working on the chateau I remember when they got the cherry picker to repair the chimney. They’ve put so much work into the place and it shows. Excuse me now. I’m just going to rip out my pine fire surround pull up my IKEA rug and make a bonfire. 😂😂

[@Benjaminwolf]

The dining room is beautiful. Billiard room is handsome. Very nice start on the salon. Great job! Just a suggestion: Don't be bashful about not knowing some historical aspect or art detail. It's okay. We are all learners. No one demands that you be an expert. There are plenty of libraries and online resources for one to conduct detailed research. It is refreshing that there are people like you who want to breathe life into these forgotten structures.
