[@lindaa.3533]

The craftsmanship of EVERYONE is astounding!

Thanks for your message and for acknowledging our incredible artisans. Saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible without them.

[@airenesmiler6624]

I swear the mist came just to give you another cinematic tableau. The image of the roofing team putting in that huge beam really illustrated how big the chateau is in a way I've never seen it before.

[@angelinanoirot6015]

The quality of French craftsmanship ❤❤

It's just marvellous to see the incredible work!

[@JohnSeefeldt]

Everytime you show the work on the roof I just cant believe how beautiful those chimneys and finished roof look. Just fantastic!

Thank you - we agree!

[@spikeyflo]

'Hoisting Your Own Petard'!! I'd never thought I'd see that phrase being used in real life! Super!!

[@williambecker6187]

Watching the rebuilding of this house gives me the same feeling as watching the rebuilding of Notre Dame, it warms my heart.

[@markbrown2296]

That foggy drone footage is eerily beautiful.

Isn't it marvellous?

[@markbrown2296]

Stunning! Thank you for saving this building.

Our pleasure. Thanks for your message.

[@kathyevans2968]

It’s so interesting to see its bare bones, peeling centuries of layers back & watching the artisans at work. The mist is so beautiful!

Thanks Kathy - we're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.

This journey and the incredible restoration of this historic landmark have been going on for years and for those of us who have been with you from the beginning we continue to see that amazing progress. The work is immense and at times I’m sure a bit overwhelming but we remain with you. It is breathtaking…..

[@melissaeden1219]

I can't imagine what it will belike when these workers leave--a sad moment for everyone, but it's wonderful to think that they can take pride in their efforts and might one day bring family to see and point out that they had a part in restoring this beautiful building

[@angelajanecraig]

Always a pleasure watching your progress. ❤

Thank you!

[@heehaw8401]

The workers who have been with you so long will miss you when they are gone!

As we will miss them!

[@sheepdog1102]

Magnificent work by these craftsmen but even more impressive work by the craftsmen of 250 years ago!

[@lydiarowe491]

The roof tops with the chimneys poking thru look like they have been brought back to when they first decorated the chateau ..amazing photography…the fog is magical.⭕️🦋⭕️

[@michaelzimmerman635]

The stone masons never cease to amaze.

They are incredible - thank you for acknowledging them!

Absolutely amazing. Just beautiful

I love how the fog gives an amazing feeling of beauty and peace

Exactly. A wonderful time of the year...

[@LC-bb6jd]

Yes we do appreciate the skill and hard work of all those artisans! We have learned so much about the skills they have that have been passed down thru generations and why certain techniques are used. I have enjoyed these videos! The visual quality along with the relaxing music are a treat to view and enjoy. Keep up your good work.

[@SharonRidings]

This grand dame will be dug and warm soon!❤

[@johnblakeH]

Sooooooo glad to see the third archway restored. For some reason, that bothered me more than the decrepit condition of the moat walls, lol. The original, intended symmetry is being resurrected.

[@virerehaf]

Truly the high point of (most of) my weeks! I pour a glass of (French) wine and watch your magic unfold. After three months the renovation of our très moderne (1985) bathrooms has begun, I can only imagine what three years of occasional surprises is like for you. Best of luck & stay the course!

Thanks for your message - we're thrilled that our adventure is part of your weekly routine. Best wishes for your bathroom project.

[@annansel2638]

This is a world treasure...impeccable effort for a wonder at its inception. Thank you both for the extraordinary work efforts and quality workmanship ..This has been such a historical education.

[@KellyConnellyDesign]

How absolutely beautiful that you honored the hearts and souls of those who also called this home. We are all part of one loved family, here -and there. I am sure you feel their now-complete Love… from there! They are loving this. God bless you all.

Los sigo desde Argentina. Que gran trabajo están haciendo...! Respetando la construcción original...la Historia ( tando del Castillo como de las personas que lo habitaron...) Me encanta el canal... Me encanta que busquen a los artesanos que puedan respetar la originalidad del Castillo... así se restaura!!! Como Profesora en Histpria, les doy las gracias por su inmenso trabajo de investigación...!

[@gunlindblad5202]

Wow! It so so beutiful, the mist the old building and people on the roof. Just wow!

We're thrilled you found this episode so visually evocative. Thanks for your message.

[@lisakilmer2667]

Your enthusiasm and excitement are both palpable and charming. It's amazing that you've been under scaffolding for so long. It's interesting to watch walls being rebuilt with old-plus-new techniques. And filming in the fog must be difficult, but you did it beautifully. Thanks.

[@sarahmiller5632]

I’m so glad it will no longer be raining in the chateau. You two are amazing. What a mammoth restoration to take on. 🤗🇨🇦

It is really amazing to see the progress in the restoration. Everything is so beautifully done. I love watching the videos..❤❤❤

[@marycook1657]

The size of the timbers - amazing! And the colours on the unscaffolded ( yes, it's a word in my vocabulary) section of the facade.

Thank you! We're thrilled you're enjoying our adventure.

[@sandracuthbert1217]

Masters at their trade! Absolute masters!

Exactly! Thanks for your message.

[@blinkingmanchannel]

Magnificent! Really there are no words, so just thank you for sharing your project. Wow. 🤯🫶 By the way, your cinematography has gotten quite good! The time lapse on lifting the stones was really cool. Those cranes are just insane in every respect and the fact that they can move is incredible too. And even the relatively "simple" step of cutting the top beam for the roof was cool to watch. Heck! Just the carbide cutting wheel trimming the face of that stone like butter was really cool! ... and the guy explaining how the cement behaves between the blocks! And really cool how you integrated the fog into the whole narrative. You guys are really getting good at this stuff!!!❤

Thanks for your message and for your generous support of our project. We're very grateful. We're thrilled that you're enjoying our journey. We look forward to sharing our next steps.

[@ktjomeyers]

I love your calming, beautiful videos.

We're thrilled you're following our journey.

[@laurielaurie8280]

This restoration is so incredible to watch every time! The massive scale of the Chateau is incredible as well. I would have liked to have seen how they built it back in the day without the modern conveniences of today.

[@phildwyer1488]

So exciting to see all the progress. I have to say I love the uniforms of the stonemasons and the roofers - a very chic colour! Classically French!

[@happycamper4329]

Merci for the explanation Sebastien.

We'll pass on your thanks!

[@happycamper4329]

Thank you!

[@dianeknight4839]

It is going to be stunning. I think there is beauty in the mist, it is a like a cloak of secrecy covering the work and waiting for the reveal. You so need to source a large fountain to sit at the front of the circle.

[@maryellenkrause7126]

France is so lucky to have people like you pouring your heart into saving this beautiful lady! We enjoy watching the progress and how it is done. Beautiful!!!

Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.

The building is looking awesome flick and Tim. Thank you for sharing it's amazing to hear from you and to share your experience. Run Truffe Run !!!

[@jonimarchese7655]

Bonjour Felicity and Tim, the work Matthieu, Sebastien and of course Frederic, along with their team do such remarkable work down to the last detail. The back wall is a big job, I can't wait to see the progression as they work towards restoring it back. I love seeing Purnon is the eerie fog. Well done to everybody. Love from N.Y.

[@traceyking6965]

I feel so privileged to be the first one to watch/comment! Have a great week Flick, Tim & Trouffe! 😊

[@CarolMartin-xm1ri]

What a remarkable opportunity to bring these gifted artisans/builders together to restore this landmark - I think I will always be more impressed with the the skill and the accomplishment of your exterior roof and stone work than anything done on the interior - I hope all of you receive the recognition for collectively saving the wonder of France's architecture - so often it takes outsiders with the finance and bravery like yourselves - I hope you are very proud of yourselves and propelling this endeavour.

[@mikkellarsen9332]

The progress these craftsmen are making every week is incredible! its truly great and amazing to follow the journey of this Chateau revival.

[@matsclaesson7980]

Thanks for your message. We're thrilled you're following our journey.

[@ManWhoLovesTheMary]

That opening sentiment made my upcoming week. Straight out of a dramatic and inspirational film. We can work in the fog and with patience, the work will get done and the fog will eventually clear. This is an obvious point, but it struck me how something maybe not originally a priority, like the moat, becomes one because of safety. Though, there are a lot of doors and entry points on the…would that bottom servant floor be considered the basement or the rez-de-chaussée? So, it’s all a rich tapestry of reasons, no doubt.

[@jeanhawken4482]

It is really powering ahead. The finished section is something else.

We can't wait to share the finished exterior of the chateau!

[@dennisaflague561]

I've felt like I was in a movie based on a true story, wait... This is an amazing true story, and every new day that Chateau de purnon is restored, she tells you of the life before and the blessed life you've given back to her, After a day of work, here in 🇬🇺 Guam, thank you, much love and faith to you're wonderful workers & proud owners of Chateau de Purnon!

I can’t wait to see you restore the chapel and stables. Then I’d like to see the horses and carriages. I just love this idea and I’m so glad you had enough venture in both of you to take down this undertaking.

That building is perhaps a little way off but we're going as fast as we reasonably can and saving as much as possible as we go. Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you're following our journey.

That weather you have there we have here in uk, it’s from solar activity, flares, plasma/geomagnetics/ radiation. Really awesome

[@Radicalmama13]

I have been meaning to ask this question for ages: I have seen historic homes get massive scaffolding put up with a kind of shrink wrap put up over it and the craftspeople work under it (so it is set up with quite a bit of room between it and the building) even if huge stones need to go in - they remove that bit and then put the shrink wrap back on - this protects the whole building from the elements while you are working on it - even if it was put over the bit you had yet to work on: was this not available for one reason or another? Seeing the rain pour in was so stressful- and I have no skin in the game - so I can’t even imagine what it was like for you! The work is truly remarkable and on a governmental scale - wow 🤯 just inspirational- and the way you guys muck in and just keep going! It’s amazing!

[@johngraham8794]
