Bravo encore et toujours. Ce petit jardin intime et discret est un bijou au milieu de votre si joli domaine, c'est une véritable réussite. Il est à l'image de votre projet et de ce que vous avez déjà réalisé : équilibré, raffiné et toujours avec un petit côté "Grand Siècle", sans tomber dans le jardin rigide et figé. C'est un plaisir de vous voir aussi enthousiaste et impliqué. Bravo et merci pour votre beau projet qui valorise notre patrimoine régional et l'esprit français du XVIII ème. Hâte de découvrir la restauration du Châtelet.

With all the videos on chateau restoration this video reminds me that landscape and garden design is the chef's kiss that makes the magic of a chateau. A beautiful garden that is well thought out is both meditative and romantic. You can really lose yourself and think you are in another time with a beautiful garden. Also it's such a creative art form. I enjoy the very intimate parts of your gardens and the wildness of the forest near by. You are creating an environment people are going to love going to for generations to come, what an amazing legacy.

The gardens you have taken us through here today are stunning and have been realized so very quickly. I am sure that all of your viewers are pleased that someone like yourself has taken on the task of bringing this chateau not only back to life but also to a flourishing state. I am also impressed by your command of the English language. Well done for those of us poor pathetic people who have not reciprocated by learning French!

This chateau restoration is such a refreshing change from all those ridiculous British people on KZbin, that moved to France and bought a crumbling mess of a 'chateau' and then discover they cannot afford the DIY costs to renovate, so they make endless videos begging complete strangers online to donate their hard earned money to pay the monthly bills. One delusional woman posing as a princess, has been begging people for years, to 'help save her home' and she gets over half a million dollars donated every year. She even has the nerve to buy wall paper for her washrooms, that costs 1 thousand dollars per roll! If you're going to renovate a chateau, this guy is the classy way to do it! RESPECT.
