Chateau de Dampierre: Restoration of the Chatelet

[@michaelwest8471]

France should bestow her highest honors on you. Not only are you restoring a historical jewel you also are teaching an international audience the glories of French architecture and culture. Your mastery of explaining the many facets of the restoration, your heartfelt enthusiasm and exquisite taste are applauded by every one of subscribers. Thank you.

[@henrik2935]

I guess they are playing him quite a lot for restoring that Chateau.

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

@@henrik2935 He has to pay for at least 50% I believe. His enthusiasm and perfectionist attitude is enjoyable to watch.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Hear, hear!

[@girlnorthof60]

Your words echo my thoughts, but in a more eloquent fashion. Thank you, Michael 🙏

[@jamesallison4875]

You are the perfect custodian of this wonderful chateau. The Marquis would be proud. Love the idea of a nature chapel… a man of my own thinking. Bon chance! Later.

[@jimjimgl3]

The craftsmen you have working on your restoration are incredibly talented. Also, the sheer volume of work being done and the amount of planning (and budgeting) seems enormous.

[@carolynshepherd4153]

Absolutely stunning, with excellent proportions and very pleasing symmetry……..and the castelet is very nice as well😊

[@joaoleiteneto668]

J'accompagne la restauration de ce chateau depuis la première vidéo et je peux dire qu'il devient digne de son propriétaire. C'est une carte postale de la France au onde et son propriétaire est un guide extraordinaire, comme il faut!!!

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

[@keepscats7936]

I continue to be delighted by the quality of your restoration. Thank you for returning this beauty to her former glory!

[@DavidS5118]

I cannot believe how incredible the Chatelet is looking following its core restoration. While what I have seen in the videos of the entire property I have to admit I am in love with the Chatelet.

[@johnwilliamtuckey2796]

Thank you so much for allowing us to have the opportunity to follow your project of love. What I am going through here in America with this past election; what a departure from my devastated feelings. So I am so appreciative for a little respite from it all. Your attention to detail is spectacular; and I could watch you for hours.

[@marksiezure3285]

Excellently accomplished. The chapel plan is so appropriate for a castle gatehouse.

[@13soap13]

I applaud you for shouldering so much responsibility ... and worry. This property was waiting for YOU!

[@lozinozz7567]

The work is amazing. It’s a lovely blend of old and new, showing the history of the building throughout all the years including the modern. Your stonemasons are doing beautiful work. 😊 thanks for the coat of arms story too

I, along with everyone else I am sure, am always so happy to see another vlog from Chateau Dampierre! Everything you have completed so far demonstrates your excellent taste and care to be historically accurate. And am I correct that you are in or near Paris? So envious! It is all shaping up so beautifully both what you have done with the buildings and with the gardens. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all and can’t wait until your next one. From 🇨🇦 Canada.

Ça fait vraiment plaisir de voir tous ces châteaux français retrouver une seconde vie ! C’est un sentiment de nostalgie et de sécurité avec une forte connexion avec la nature… vraiment très étrange ressenti….

[@lourenswijma998]

[@tellyboy17]

Fascinating to see a very high quality restoration in progress.

[@goldenineke]

The Chatelet must be quietly saying ‘thank you’. She looks so beautiful. The Chapel to nature is a lovely idea.

[@togwm]

I love the resplendent radiance of the restoration..you are knocking it out of the park...love the history you present with your updates..just beautiful results..you are a wonderful and gracious person to give such love to this historic chateau❤

Already your chatelet is coming out impressive! Your attention to detail is remarkable, Antoni. It's good to record your progress as it becomes an indispensable part of the restoration process. Looking forward to more updates. Cheers!

[@kindaclassykindachola]

Waking up an old lady who's been asleep for a long time, you need to wake her up slowly with patience and care, and you're doing it with love.❣️

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

The restoration is stunning. The old and new stones blend perfectly. Thank you for all the history and documentation of the restoration. Funny about love in France and graffiti removal.

[@eastxeast]

The fireplace renovation was a revelation…the distortion of previous pillaging … the subsequent attempts to stabilise the damage and then your masterful restoration and resolution of forces. There is a valuable lesson in this. Thnx

[@frankgyori2740]

I would love to see your home in person. Your passion for perfection, or as close to perfection as possible, is uplifting and exciting for me as it is for so many folks who enjoy your vlogs. Best to you...

[@jwserge]

You make your restoration work so cool that no one can even think it was restored! It looks absolutely original but at the same time NEW original, like we've got in the past time when it was really new!!

[@lindamoore9405]

It’s always the highlight of my day , week, month,when you post a video. You spare no expense for the restoration, and it’s so worth every penny, or shall I say dollars.

[@kefaad]

Such an eye for the detail. Love your passion and effords you put to this project not as a current owner but as a custodian for the future generations!

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

Gotta say, the best part of this video is the view when he walks away from the camera. (In my next life, I want to come back as his Levi jeans. Haaaah!)

[@t.s.3446]

Lovely idea about the small room being a chapel. Congrats for all.

[@user-hk2gw9mg6d]

Your knowledge, your attention to detail and your clear explanations are astonishing. Your work is beautiful. Thank you.

[@ludovicroyer5915]

Merci de partager avec nous votre merveilleuse aventure, je me suis abonné à votre chaine pour suivre l'évolution des travaux. Je suis français, et depuis mon plus jeune âge je rêve d'avoir un château. Je partage avec vous votre enthousiasme pour les vieux monuments, et moi aussi je suis comme un petit garçon quand je regarde vos vidéos, l'on sent parfaitement à travers vos reportages que vous faites tout ça avec votre cœur, par amour pour les belles vieilles demeures, ce château à bien de la chance d'être tombé entre vos mains, je sens qu'il va renaître de ses cendres tel le Phénix.😉

[@t.j.5044]

I really enjoy watching the progress in your videos. It would be great to see the work in progress as well. Thank you for your videos.

[@michaelgish2086]

Love the historical info! Stunning and very well explained! Beautiful! Thank you Dr. 👏👏👏🙏👍

[@kevinm-py1nt]

He's going to have a beautiful bedroom. The "nature chapel" is a great idea!

[@jluff753]

J’aime l’idée d’une chapelle pour la nature! 🌿🌱

[@cyngibson950]

It looks fabulous! It makes me wonder about the how the scaffolding was made when it was built in the 1700’s? The Chatelet is enormous and so high. It is an amazing structure and you are renovating it perfectly.

[@sanyaomerovic1659]

Right? Imagine how many people, artisans , laborers,were involved in building it. Just how long it took ???

[@TheRedStilleto]

So gorgeous! Your craftsmen are so talented. I especially enjoyed the view from the top as I love heights! Royalty is not done; you are the prince!❤

[@fredleescott2874]

What dream you are restoring! I am just happy tongrt to see this Chafeau of France! Thank you!

[@ZaphodsPlanet]

You're making terrific progress!

[@rvaprep]

The restoration of the Chatelet is looking grand and the coloring of the stone for uniformity of the old and the new stones was a good idea. I enjoyed the historical aspects as well. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli

[@charlesrodriguesable]

Magnifique ! J’adore et quelle bonne idée de s’adresser à une audience internationale !

[@zsuzsimeszaros2479]

Félicitations. C'est très beau!!! Bravo.

[@piarasmussen8693]

absolutely amazing, thank you for sharing, looking so much forward to the next steps

[@allysonsears]

So many wonderful improvements by the masons. It’s beautiful. 😍

[@nadia-i1l5h]

What a lovely idea to dedicate a space to meditate and appreciate nature. That was actually “ religion” in the olden days. We lived our lives with the path of of the sun and the changing of the seasons

[@sweetlulamoon1636]

amazing job! congrats

[@Marykguise]

The new facade is looking stunning!! I loved hearing about all the details of the work and the history of the châtelet (spelling?) I love your idea for the little nature chapel. Thanks for sharing. Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

[@MatildeMoon]

You have done a quite lovely work with this team of Artisans restoring since you bought this chateau with many challenges ahead but I can say you have great taste wish you many days to enjoy this good luck keep happy see you bye

[@franzouse6364]

Bravo cher docteur. Nous vous devons beaucoup👏👏👏

[@michaelw.8614]

Simply wonderful restoration. Great episode!!

[@nativetexson]

Nice progress with the chatelet.

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Comme vous y allez, cher Antoni ! 😂 Fin d'automne, début d'hiver ? L'hiver commence dans un mois et demi ! On est à peine au milieu de l'automne 😉 Bon, mis à part ça, que dire ? Le châtelet est phé-no-mé-nal. J'adorais déjà ce bâtiment dès l'origine mais là, la restauration est tout simplement magnifique. Bravo à tous les artisans !

[@lucyacunam]

Da gusto ver su entusiasmo y que nos de un recorrido de los avances; usted Doctor lo disfruta, se involucra, documenta y terminará haciéndose un experto del tema, felicidades y gracias por compartir con nosotros.

[@mikkellarsen9332]

really great to see the progress!!

[@avivat3010]

It is quite a pleasure to see the chateau and chatelet, landscaping, etc. being finished in such good taste. You are clearly passionate about the historical accuracy of the restoration. I would imagine that it is fascinating to learn everything you can about the process. It must be quite stressful and enjoyable at the same time. I hope that you continue to have a relatively easy path to the end of construction.

[@gill7045]

Wow.. From a cloudy day in winter to a sunny day in summer. 😉

[@RonRobertson-lafrance]

It's wonderful seeing such skilled work by the stonemasons. It just fits in perfectly, and the Chatelet is looking so beautiful. I like the idea of your nature chapel, with a statue of Pan or similar.

[@jamesromaine4321]

It amazing to see what you have accomplished. I hope to live a long life so I can visit when it complete James

[@MissJ224]

It’s looking very restored. I like some of the crumbles and falling downness

[@janeblandford852]

The work is incredible....so beautiful!!

[@eltesorodelaabuelabordados4264]

Magnífico!!❤❤❤

[@bobconrad5632]

Wow, the restoration on the medieval keep is looking great. I love to see the steps in restoration and keeping with the original building but updating for today and the future. I enjoy restoring the past and making it usable for the future.

[@jmfs8738]

Thank you for sharing your restoration progress with your fabulous property! Your intelligence, imagination and love are in evidence as every detail becomes an opportunity to shine.
