Looking forward to seeing more beautiful restoration work. Hope all is well!!?! 😊

[@jlhenderson2]

It's gratifying to see the thoughtful choices you are making to restore your chateau's gardens and grounds.

[@lm-hf3gd]

Anxiously waiting for your next post….Landscape Architect from California….

[@tyeteames7192]

Beautiful. One request. MORE VIDEOS..."PLEASE "🎉🎉

[@elizabethroessner8487]

Yes, more videos. The chateau is lovely and you are making great videos!

[@ji8044]

You are the perfect steward for this property!

[@munyuk69]

looking forward to a new video ... its been a long time

[@DavidS5118]

Keep these updates coming - they are fascinating. We cannot really grow taxus anymore - deer food all winter long. Loving the future plans and the endless efforts to make perspective matter.

[@user-tb1yi3pq4x]

Dr. Dampierre Chateau! I am checking in to ask how you aand partner are...missing the fascinating videos and endless restorations in process! hope everything is good in health and sooner or later a video will present itself!

[@Horhoun]

The drifts of cyclamen are absolutely spectacular! I look forward to seeing gardens evolve.

[@marilenesocio8768]

Querido obrigada pelo vídeo. Amo seu castelo e viajo em seus projetos. Amo sua elegância , sensibilidade e respeito com a questão histórica e especificidades da natureza. Aguardando, até o final do projeto. Bye

[@ginacrusco234]

The sphinxes are perfect -- I did think that they had been there all along! The 3D render shows how the landscaping plan for the rear garden is elegant and tasteful. And the discovery of two new fountains is wonderful!

[@tc7486]

Wonderful and fascinating. ❤

[@JG-mp5nb]

They look like English garden creatures -the face looks much like a young Queen Victoria.

[@AlfgardVicAenorDuFay]

Je suis de plus en plus émerveillée par vos projets de "réhabilitation" des lieux... c'est rare ! La plupart des nouveaux propriétaires de château ne réhabilitent pas, pire, nivellent les jardins ou bétonnent les bâtiments ! Merci à vous de préserver le Patrimoine français !

[@davidfaulkner8201]

I am more and more amazed by what you have got accomplished . The two fountains are a wonderful discovery . There might be more surprises waiting to be uncovered . Best of luck to you in this project and thank you for sharing the progress .

[@aairsick]

Thank goodness those two uncovered fountains were symmetrical! After watching your views I know you like symmetry! When I watch your videos I feel like I’m in a fairy tale and you are the prince building his dream home - your consideration to the history is to be praised. I just love watching you bring this Chateau back to life!

[@christywells2707]

Thanks for sharing

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

Wow, hidden fountains uncovered - the place gets better and better! The garden plans are stunning! I had a little laugh about you being a flight attendant - you did very well :)

[@joaoleiteneto668]

C'est toujours un plaisir de pouvoir suivre chaque transformation de ce château. Un bijou de France!

[@jesschee5891]

It is such a beautiful place, the chateau is wonderful but the gardens and forest is stunning. I can feel the magic

[@sinpignot3332]

more videos please!!!

[@normananderson1079]

Love this

[@Ron_Robertson]

I love those sphinxes, so perfect! I love tilleul, great idea with that! And the fragrance from their flowers in the spring will be wonderful. Truly a perfect layout for that back garden. Fantastic about that chain! Everything you're showing today looks like it will perfectly suit your space and the chateau. It's good to see someone renovate things with excellent taste and ideas.

[@ElectroT0y]

Did you notice that the Sphinxes look like Queen Victoria of England?

[@Ron_Robertson]

@@ElectroT0y No, I didn't notice that! I'd thought they looked a wee bit like Marie Antoinette.

[@tarjabaasner5815]

So beautiful !! It is lovely to see this chateau and gardens to come to life ❣️

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

I can only imagine how exciting it was for you to discover two more fountains. Another shopping opportunity? I love your plans for the garden. Like everything you do se well considered. The chateau could not have a better owner.

[@kolaved]

Love your enthusiasm for your renovation project and your natural talent. What a great combination and foundation for a brilliant process and results!

[@debc5473]

Thank you for the garden updates. The Landscape Designers' plans look spectacular. Your garden will look magnificent in the end. Also, the pink cyclamens are growing beautifully under the shade of the trees. You are doing a wonderful job restoring this estate.

[@claudiamann7111]

I hope the heavy trucks don't damage the sequoia. Please put the drive further away. What a great find in the garden with another fountain. You are making great progress. The forest flowers are stunning. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@kolaved]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I wish you had more subscribers. Anyone interested in design would love your channel!

[@johnwilliamtuckey2796]

I am so exciting about your project; and I'm thankful to you for allowing us to go on this journey with you.

[@clairea2355]

Le tapis de cyclamen est magnifique et la découverte des fontaines sont superbes

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I think those are wonderful plans for the garden and landscape. That was such a cool discovery on the fountains! Thank you for sharing, Antoni !

[@loom1c]

Your plans are exciting to hear. It will be beautiful 💚

[@kevinm-py1nt]

I kill to have hair like his! Great video, glad to see a renovation by someone with good taste!

[@jeandub1813]

Ce domaine a vraiment trouvé son ange gardien ! J'ai beau guetter la faute de goût, la suffisance... Mais rien, je ne trouve absolument rien d'autre que le merveilleux. Même pas une erreur de "casting" avec votre passionnant jardinier. Je suis bluffé, bravo !

[@pinkroses8714]

You garden plans look great and it will really work out fabulous!

[@carolcostello6967]

I loved watching the progress on your property ….so well done. Do you plan on more videos?

[@louiselewis5061]

Wow! It just keeps getting better and better! The garden plans are magnificent. So excited and happy for you. What a magical home it will be!

[@mariajoseroman9018]

Lindo, maravilhoso! Privilégio comprar um castelo, amo castelos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@martinr.4795]

Très beau château mais, la beauté de la propriétaire est la plus belle ;)

[@ronaldhorton2438]

I love your updates. They are fascinating. The chateau, obviously, is turning more beautiful than was apparent. Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@Tedmader-fp3vb]

You are such a classy guy and you going over what you want to do adds so much and you can feel how much love you are putting into it. I live in Budapest and there are so many beautiful buildings. The goverment is rebuilding the castle area that was destroyed in the war to perfection where they still have the original drawings. One of the buildings has chain rail That each link must weigh 5 lbs they perfect rectangles, not sure how they were made. This is a small detail in a spectacular building. One of 12 being built or restored. The interior was poured concrete, but all exterior detail is perfection. The city goverment must have lost its most talented people, there city projects from around 30 years ago that were great . No one with skill and vision you have today. I’m no where near the level you are, but it drives me crazy seeing what’s being done in one of the worlds most beautiful cities.

[@nickhayes7082]

I hope that when you do decide to do concerts, that you will put them here on youtube. You have beautiful plans and I'm anxious to them come to fruition!

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Love the updates. Please don’t wait a year for the next update. Love your visions for the beautiful chateau and gardens 😍😘. Thank you for sharing 😍😘

[@heidisaglund3443]

Lovely and beautiful. You really are the perfect custodian of your castle.

[@arnicepernice8656]

Wonderful to see the progress.

[@AddressRater]

The restoration is absolutely fantastic.

[@13soap13]

The cyclamen are spectacular! I hope you use them as a motif. Would love to see them in stained glass . . . on stationery . . . Glad you negotiated the extra acres. Landscaping is beautiful. Don't overwork yourself!

[@tjbren576]

So much thought has gone into this - with excellent results! It's going to be a magical world!

[@judyrice3883]

So amazing can’t wait to watch it come back to life

[@jaysmith8199]

Beautiful gardens and I agree about the beautiful flowers - they are the most precius things ❤ You havent mentioned a kitchen/ walled garden for vegetables and flowers. Walled gardens are classic for chateaux 😊

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

We are looking forward to see your next flog? WHen?

[@rayn8740]

I'm still in love with your bounty of cyclamen. They're such a lovely shade of pink. I have a white one blooming in my kitchen window. It's not quite as impressive. I really like your vision for your garden. The yews will be wonderful. I have yet to try them here in Texas. Texans seem to grow Podocarpus more often. I see mostly small Taxus, when I see them. Not like those majestic ones back in MN that are many meters high. I like the richness of their flat evergreen leaves and the beautiful red berries. The whole scene will be spectacular for large events. I can't wait to see it finished.

[@robertdamianogargano3971]

Bellissimo Giardino. Your chateau property is very unique, something out of a French Fairytale Castle. Architectural details are very French in times past. Our favorite palace gardens are those of ROYAL PALACE OF CASERTA, about three kilometers long with fountains, statues and waterfalls cascading down from the back mountain. Extremely fascinating. Some trees in the forest are over two thousand years old. We enjoy your explanation of how your gardens may look like.

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

Hey long time since your last vlog? Is something wrong? Looking forward to hear from you again on your vlog.

[@donnafink6262]

wow!

[@marlibrito446]

👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍

[@jamesallison4875]

You guys are too cool! I love your plans and can’t think of a single thing I’d change. Bravo to you all.

[@patipri22]

I'm beyond amazed 👏 😍 ❤️ love it! Hope you can come and design my very much modest home. Amazing work!

[@vilhelmhammershoi3871]

It looks stunning so far. You have so much to do but love what you have done and the project for the future of this property seems beautiful!

[@splash3613]

When will the next video come out...we are anxiously waiting. 😊

[@kleinbrynbaranfrande]

It's good to start working on the gardens while work is also on going inside. So that if you finish all the work inside the chateau, all the plants have fully grown by that time.

[@SirAdamMeek]

Thank you! That East Facade will look amazing!

[@kathsmith4924]

i love the design of the fountain and trees

[@user-po3ko9yb5w]

It keeps getting better and better, everything is sjeesde glorious, the little flowers , stone walls and sphinxes, the trees/ fountains etc. By adding your new ideas it will only enhance its beauty. Wise and esthetic decisions 🌿

[@nagwashawki3268]

Que ce très beau ❤

[@toddmartin3936]

The renovation approach you choose is all around the correct one. It is essential to have the vision to include the gardens, forest, and water surrounding the chateau as crucial elements as the inside. It is a delight to see your progress, and explanations of how it will be once finished are fantastic.

[@denniscampeau6577]

What elegant taste you have in each aspect of this magnificent property and I look forward to to following you on this journey!

[@simonanomino3159]

Progetto fantastico

[@alisterjones52]

Im from Australia and restored a 1889 Town Hall as my home and work studio in the 1990s, It gives great joy to see what you are planning and restoring. Hope to visit for a concert or event. How is it going today? I see some 12 weeks have past and looking forward to more explanations and your thoughtful endeavours.

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

Just wana find out if you ok? Havent heard anything from you in months. Hope u ok? We are missing your vlogs.

[@andreypolyakov9410]

So nice to see that money spent in a good way. thanks!

[@d.j.rosscarpediem921]

Hi there hope all is well? When will we see another vlog from you??

[@VictorioCavaliere]

I would like to suggest investigating more the surroundings of the parterre sud fountain. The perforations at a regular distance in the wall surrounding the circular pond could indicate that the entire space surrounding the central fountain was part of a larger water garden, of which the fountain was only the center of the entire installation, perhaps intended to aquatic plants with the central fountain as a focal point. It reminded me the gardens of the Roman villa of the Station, located in the ancient Anticaria of imperial Betica, present-day Antequera, Spain. Excellent work and congratulations for respecting the magnificent sequoia! Greetings from Argentina.

[@user-cv2iz8ie5l]

Miss the updates.

[@JYOTHIPRAKASH-kr2bn]

My dream life ❤️ it.

[@katehobbs2008]

I think you will find that heavy chain in a shipyard, it is the sort of chain used for anchor lines on big ships.

[@lyricsdebra]

These garden plans look great. Love that tradesmen are learning new skills. I REALLY love the creativity of the geometric lower hedges as it draws the eye down then up as you walk towards the statue ❤

[@cyngibson950]

Your plan is lovely and elegant, befitting your castle. I love the fountains and the symmetry. Balance in formal gardens is important. Also the detail in maintaining the walls, and keeping the sunken gardens will be amazing. Which variety of Taxus are you going to plant? I cannot wait to see the fountains up and running and the plantings. What I find most exciting are the walls of pruned, ‘topiaried’ Lindens. They are magnificent when pruned and shaped well. You are doing a great job. I cannot wait to visit and see it in person. Bigger is better.

[@MathildeRavery]

Bonjour à vous Un aussi grand domaine pour un seul être humain ? C'est si grand, je vois beaucoup plus de monde dans un domaine comme celui ci qui s'organise bien d'ailleurs. C'est mon avis.

[@christianayme7316]

I look forward to seeing that amazing garden with the terrace looking onto it ! I didn't know that small Naples cyclamens were actually flowering in the fall at your place , I've got bucketfuls of these in my own garden but they are flowering now .

[@gaelenecole4053]

The Exquisite designs of the garden and those fountains are so amazing it’s going to look stunning.. Those little pink strange bulbs are 😱 awesome … I have a bulb here that is kinda the same but different and huge … my late grandmas Blood lilies (Haemanthus albiflos) I have about 50 of them .. they are precious.. Thank you 🙏 For the tour ❤

[@RichArt69Supra]

Quel magnifique duo Pour Ne pas dire couple, merci de ce magnifique travail Inspirant Soyez forts …belle continuation à vous deux

[@soniadubey4773]

nice house

[@elcie1999]

It’s all coming together slowly but beautifully Antoni❤ I love your vision and of protecting everything that has taken years to grow around the chateau. Please keep the vids coming 🙏

[@annkraft7849]

🥰👏👏🙏❣️

[@Magic-mushrooms113]

Your garden design is exceptional. I enjoyed your walk- through and the discoveries. Hopefully there will be more original features discovered!

[@ElectroT0y]

The Sphinx face looks like the English Queen Victoria.

[@kirkshrum6222]

It’s going to turn out great Anthony, your Gardner seems just as passionate about garden. Or is he more than the Gardner ? Cheers Kirk

[@Thomas-fu8vp]

Seems so .

[@user-vg1rx6bf2o]

I'm a gardener so I love seeing your ideas and tours of future gardens. Just stunning.

[@susandellet7121]

Stunning plans for garden impressive

[@not_Cute_06]

Hi!) have you ever had the idea of ​​going around your property with a metal detector to look for little treasures, and have you found anything interesting during the restoration of the landscape and other premises?

[@kathyevans2968]

This garden really is a beautiful jewel!

[@janetbex7526]

You are doing everything correctly. It will be very beautiful! Merci!

[@carolyntonkin4765]

Love what you're doing.💗

[@rvaprep]

The plans for the areas are lovely and in keeping with the chateau. I like the ground cover flowering under the trees, very beautiful. Take care, Ralph Rocchiccioli

[@allysonsears]

Very interesting! It’s such a gorgeous property. I love all your ideas for the future of the garden/park.

[@David-xh6cm]

I agree totally about the cyclamen … they are quite stunning and compliment so well the garden you are creating so beautifully. Mike

[@skerny1132]

Antoni, excellent work. You are a man with passion and vision - this garden will not just be sustainable, it will look magnificent. Bon chance - keep up the great work 👏👏👍

[@alexanderfahr2658]

Cherry trees would be nice.
