LOOK WHO WE MET NEXT! Part2 (staying at Chateau de Bruges)

[@perunut4656]

Requirements for a chateau owner: young, fit, enthusiastic (in the mind) and a big wallet. Great vlog!

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you ☺️😘🏰

[@notquiteachateaudiy]

Well, of course, we knew where you were going to next, when you left ours, but we have been excitedly waiting, to see your vlog about the Chateau De Bruges. Jake, Danielle and Graham have done some amazing work there, those rooms are lovely, and it looks like they have a lot of exciting projects still to do. I especially want to see the gite renovation. It was nice that they gave you a complete tour, and showed you what you can expect when you find your own chateau to renovate! xxx

[@ChateaudeBruges]

Thankyou so much! Denise and Brett spoke so highly about their time with you! It put the pressure on a bit to give them a stay just as memorable. 🥰🥰

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Yes Jane, we loved the tour as well! They are so hands on! Graham never stops and they are a perfect team! Danielle also does the upholstery so well! ☺️ Was great to meet them! ☺️😘

Hello Elizabeth! They are so hard working, true! :) We loved it there too and we know they will just transform the place! 🏰😘

Chateau de Bruges is one of my favorites. I do hope that the fly problem doesn't deter you from owning a chateau in France. I'm sure there are solutions to help minimize the nasty pests. Thank you for taking us all on your journey to find the perfect French Chateau to call home! Cheers!

[@ChateaudeBruges]

Aww thankyou Kathy! Glad you enjoy our vlogs so much. Fingers crossed with some patching up of holes, missing tiles and missing windows we will be able to minimise the fly infestation. They don’t seem to make their way down too much from the top floor though. ❤

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you Kathy, we loved it there too! ❤️🏰😍

Hi Denise and Brett, I absolutely adore Chateau de Bruges's channel and the family, I have forgotten how large their property is, how exciting it is to be able to visit the other Chateau's to give you some ideas on what to look for and what to avoid when you make the decision on yours. Happy hunting, until your next stop. Love from N.Y.

You’re too kind Joni! 🥰🥰 hopefully they learned lots from their stay with us!

[@lorraineelderhurst4199]

Jane and Tony were sensible buying a place that is manageable. As the last comment read, young fit and plenty of money, I agree totally. I have renovated 12 old houses in Australia and finding tradies eg plumbers and electricians in Europe can take a very long time. Buy with your head not your heart. Good luck

So easy to buy a Chateau, one time deal. The upkeeping is endless pit. Exciting journey.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

That’s right. It’s exciting and it really needs hands on to always keep on top of everything. 🏰🤗

[@j-loosenfout67]

Here, it's more like a farmhouse with outbuildings (for the first part) or like a bourgeois residence (the second part of the property with its turret) than a real castle. None of the trappings usually characteristic of French castles are included, the moldings, the exceptionally high ceilings, the ornate fireplaces in each room, the woodwork, etc. I'm cautious about this one... 🤔🙃😊

[@janicerobinson2970]

Thankyou What A Lovely Visit. We Looking Forward To See Your Chateau One Day. I Wish You All The Luck Thankyou For Sharing Lovely People🏰🙏💕👋

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

We just do a lot of research and find the properties through agents and friends 😌 Takes a lot of time but we hope to find the one!

It must be very exciting to think that one day in the very near future you both will have your own chateau and maybe showing some new prospective buyers around yours😉😍 Mike and Gina.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Hello Mike, yes! Very exciting! :) But we know it takes time even if we are (especially Brett) studying the property market every day! We will do our best to find the right people for our beloved farm . It’s also not easy as this is paradise as well. But family is calling our hearts to go and live in Europe and follow our dream 🏰 ☺️❤️

[@tracybrown6207]

Glad you met Graham, Jake and Danielle. Graham... it's not duck, it's moose. Funny and made me giggle. All the chateaux have mentioned the flies, they all get them. I think they (G,J&D) have the prettiest chateau too, they are definitely my favourite as they are not expecting us to pay for their lifestyle, where some have become very expectant and taking advantage of the more vulnerable viewer who cannot see through the deception. i know many are unsubscribing to these particular channels as they are seeing it for what it really is now. Don't fall into this trap, as some cheateau owners will most probably give you 'advice' how to get more money and get the begging cap out (but disguise it) but still go on holidays and top of the range shops. Some have just got seedy. Just keep it honest and you will be respected for it Good luck find your chateau.

Thank you. Hello to Rosebud and all the best! ✨

[@artactsound444]

In my opinion the owners of Château de Bruges don't have to accept cluster flies as inévitable, please let them know. We had the cluster fly problem the first two years, the smell and appearance of theese pests made us décide to sell if we could not get rid of them. Friends recommended cluster fly bombs, we left over winter after vacumcleaning all hibernating flies, our friends placed 3 cluster fly bombs, when we returned in spring not a single fly in the whole chateau. Cluster flies as many other insectes seek shelter from the cold in winter, cluster flies grow in the summer outdoors, in autom they get into houses through extreamely small openings. Come septembre last year we where determined not to get them again, we found that the old windows, specially in the attic had plenty of tiny cracks on and arround frames and edges, we allso found that the places where water pipes cross from attic to second floor where not air tight. We decided to seal all cracks in the attic windows with sealant and floor and wall cracks with plaster. In one small attic room we did nothing because it had no flies the previous autom, à week later I looked into that room, opened the window shutters and found the window pains completely covered in thousands of flies, they started to fly arround, I imediately left the room closing the door behind me, came back with the vacumcleaner, we worked all day and when we finished sealing the windows in that final room that was it, no more cluster flies. Windows must be absolutely airtight when closed specially in the attic, that is the key.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

We will let them know. Thank you very much for this very interesting comment about the problem. We saw that on other chateau channels as well and it seems common. So we hope that more people will read this here and that you might be able with your post to help them. Wishing you all the best ☺️🤗 Thank you for watching

There are many beautifully renovated chateaux for sale within your stated budget. If you buy a building which requires extensive renovation you are guaranteed to invest the same amount as the purchase price. A joint venture such as this is not a great example of what you may wish to achieve. The dreams of others are not a great guide for your own future experience. The only thing that matters are the figures. Romance and finance are completely different when it comes to owning a chateau.

[@Chateau_de_Londigny]

Thank you for your comment. We are not looking for a joint venture. But they doing fine. We are aware of the financials and investments and what we have to expect (you described it before) Price for the chateau / double the costs for the renovation < Exciting times ahead! ☺️

You visit castles, that's good, but are they for sale? At this rate, you're not sure you want to own one.
