I’ve been subscribed for about 9 months, and I’m finally going back to start at the beginning of your video series. I am pleased to note that you are still the same funny and genuine Stuart and Patrick, and the information and inspiration in this video is still wonderful.

[@leahtreck1083]

Aloha Patrick and Stuart, watching this fun, educational and heart warming video for the 2nd. time was delightful. As I have mentioned before, I adore your Channel and it is definitely one of my top 3, MUST WATCH EVERYDAY, channels. There’s always something that I missed or didn’t have a long enough view of first time, that makes a rewatch quite rewarding, especially new surprises that just seem to pop up out of nowhere. Thank you both for all the love and positive energy you share in your videos 🏰.

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Toile is such a versatile design. Furniture, bedding, curtains, wallpaper. Not many designs that I can think of that work so perfectly in almost every setting. I love that Stuart has started to design his own Toiles. I call them Toiles de Stooey...... 🤣🥰🤣

Thank you, Susan! Escape to the Dream has been so generous to help us out. Glad you decided to join us!

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Hi Susan. Thanks for joining our crazy journey. The one advantage we have is that we had role models (Escape to the Dream (love them), How to renovate a chateau without killing you partner (we stayed with them for two night) and Chateau Diaries. Our one advantage is that we are filing from the beginning. If things would have worked out 2 years ago, we would not have this vantage point. Thanks for subscribing. Next time we will go chateau hunting, we will meet Terry, Ash, Tracey Tony (and Jonathan) and take them out for dinner to thank them.

Hi Walter. I have been up and down the Touraine many times and totally agree with you. Love the wine and food. Villaumaire is a big too large for us but gorgeous. Ate too much and love the wines. Been traveling the region since 1986. You have good taste. Thanks for commenting

[@walterpfannschmidt8449]

My preferred restaurant in Chinon is l'Oceanic. Full gastronomical menu is sooo good. Another excellent place is in Langeais, Le Coin Des Halles. But the cheapest was Au Fil de l'Eau in Avoine, workmen's cantine with unbeatable quality for the price. Langeais' castle is also interesting. Did you visit the royal abbey of Fontevreau? Or the little church in Rivière? But my preferred Saturday mornings were at the market in Saumur where you can make friends with nearly everyone (lots of expats).

[@florentinalily]

@@patrickjourneytothechateau8243 we came from Devon; on the slopes of Dartmoor - some of my family were already here and I bought a place in the Minervois in the early 1980's. Avignon and everything North and East of Carcassonne is getting hotter as you say, because of climate change. In the foothills of the Pyrenees the weather is temperate; we have a lovely summer/spring/winter. The Apple orchards tell the weather story here. They won't thrive in the heat of just 30 mins away.. My sister moved from Avignon to Burgundy for the weather but has found the weather in central France has become stifling in the summer. One of the reasons we chose to be here because as one of my daughters is a senior negotiator for the Climate Change Treaty , she was able to give us a mapping of future change. So we are out of a valley; away from potential floods but in an area where there is not a water shortage. We are future proofing with all water from the buildings are going into a water tank; we have Solar panels; a huge amount of insulation (so it's cool in the summer, warm in the winter) and Air source heat pumps which run the hot water and central heating. Cheaper area's of France can be completely dead in the winter. I had a Manoir on the Manche Peninsula in Normandy (check that out its fabulous) but am equally happy here as there is a year round social scene; summer and winter

Hey there. Thank you so very much. I have to admit that I have nothing to take credit for. Just being a bit of a bumbling idiot....🤣 Editing and music selection is all Stuart. Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey. 🥰

[@myrnamcmillan4755]

[@JourneytotheChateau]

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you so much, Maria!

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Thank you Maria. Seeing myself is so odd. Glad you liked it. Please keep your comments coming! hugs

[@brendabevacqua9617]

Lovely video, well put together, also enjoyable listening to the both of you. I think you had enjoyable experiences because it is in you

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you Brenda!

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Thank you so much. I like your perspective. I agree, when one has an open heart and mind, good things can come

Guys, I'm more and more thinking of selling in Belgium and going to the Saumurois...

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

I completely understand. The region and the people are just amazing.

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

I’ve have a wonderful couple (he’s Belgian and she is German/Bavarian) as neighbors. But I have never spent significant time in Belgium. So I don’t know how I’d feel living in Belgium. It would be great for you to share your experiences.

[@elisabeth6108]

Enjoying your vlogs and looking forward to more!

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Yay! Thank you, Elisabeth!

[@elisabeth6108]

Based on the first video showing your past renovations, it's going to be very inspiring to follow your journey.

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Hi Elizabeth. We try to stay true to whatever period we are restoring. Of course, XVIIIth century is a bit more challenging. We have done a ton of research. If you have any input, please share with us. Thank you.

[@anjgraham8609]

Came over here from Stephanie and Philip / I’m thinking you are going to be my new favourites 😁😁

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you! 😀👍

[@patrickjourneytothechateau9452]

Anj, that is the nicest compliment I can imagine. Thank you so much. Huge hug. 💖😘💖

[@peterwhite9261]

Traveling can often not go as planned. Glad United came through for you. I would have had a "fit" as they say. You both covered a lot of territory indeed and met so many people. Many new adventures coming your way.

[@gloriageddes5421]

You guys were great. Can't wait for the saga to continue.

Hallo Patrick, hier bin ich und ich habe Euch schon abonniert! Bin total gespannt….Du bist so wie ich polyglott!…Schön, jetzt ein Gesicht zum Namen zu haben…ich kümmere mich jetzt darum, dass - vor allem - die Damen Tipps bekommen, wo man den richtigen „Château lifestyle“ findet und worauf man achten muss ;-)

[@patrickjourneytothechateau9452]

Vielen Dank Johanna!!! Wir können kaum warten unser Chateau zu finden und nach Frankreich zu ziehen. Hoffentlich finden wir jemanden, der uns seinen privaten Jet leiht (wir zahlen natürlich) Sprit und Piloten etc. Es ist ein Vorteil, das ein kleinerer Jet nahe am Zielort landen kann. Danke für das Abo! Kommentare und Tips sind immer gerne sehen. Man kann gar nicht genug Anregungen kriegen. Viele Dank, dass Du mit uns auf unsere Reise bist! VLG

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Hallo Johanna. Seit mein letzter Kommentar von Google gelöscht wurde, hoffe ich, dass dieser Kommentar bleibt. Vielen Dank für Dein Abo und den tollen Kommentar. Wir werden bestimmt auf Dich und Deinen Ideen hoffen, wenn wir unser Schloss gefunden haben. VLG XXX

[@debradevine3949]

Would love to see the chateaus as you look at them. You two are delightful!

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you, Debra! I think that viewers will enjoy seeing different chateaux that are for sale in France. Hopefully I can speed up my video editing skills so you won't have to wait too long.

[@angelapa9513]

Wonderful vlog . Now we are hooked. 🥰

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you so much Angela

[@brendam5356]

How fabulous was this the music history taking us through your Chateau journey I’m excited and honoured bless you both😍❤️😘👌🥂

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Thank you, Brenda!

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Thank you Brenda! Bless you too. It's an exciting journey. I'm not saying that I'm not sometimes scared..... But really, overwhelmingly excited.

[@MABOart]

Wunderbar 👌

[@patrickjourneytothechateau8243]

Thank you. Please feel free to give us input. It's always important to listen. Glad you are on this journey with us.

Very well made video, tasteful music, good content. Well done. You have another subscriber here. My one bit of advice might be to suggest taking binoculars to view that all important roof condition of the prospective chateau from the ground. Getting more perspectives on probably the most expensive portion of a chateau repair may help in knowing current condition and a future expense. It might help in negotiating price as well. Just a thought.

[@JourneytotheChateau]

Great advice! Thank you!
