Tour of the Chateau Gatehouse Just Before Its Restoration!

[@shannonmiles8910]

It’s so nice to see a Frenchman restoring this beautiful property. So much history to be discovered!

[@loloholmes2793]

Right! Kick the bloody English out😅

[@mathieurenouf4851]

Mais les français restaurent aussi pourquoi êtes vous surpris ?

[@shannonmiles8910]

Not surprised but just very happy that it is happening. There seem to be so many English and Americans who are restoring these wonderful properties. It’s lovely to see the French countrymen doing the same.

It's unfortunate that the original family was forced to sell

[@lookingup333]

This dude is so charming, I'm hanging on his every word. The castle is nice, too 😂

[@jelsner5077]

It's wonderful seeing a château restored properly, with historical accuracy in mind. I also love that you only post when there's something interesting to report, and not everyday time lapse posts of you sweeping the floor or mowing the lawn.

[@anitariley2681]

HEY! I find that interesting too!

This restoration is going to be amazing to watch. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@goneysangullies]

The framing in the attic is so neatly and carefully done, quite impressive. Compliments to the ancient carpenters…

[@msb5775]

It's the best part of my day when Château de Dampierre posts! So excited to see the renovations once they start!

[@keepscats7936]

How wonderful that you have taken on this lifetime project! I look forward to seeing how you balance historic restoration with modern amenities and your personal taste.

[@jimhislop2979]

Love your videos. Such an exciting project, and I love your enthusiasm for the task! Good luck. ❤

[@sybamunki]

with the tiles, I like it that you see the different time periods in the tiles used, so maybe it doesn't matter too much its a patchwork. it tells the story of the house.

[@louiselewis5061]

This is so exciting. I can’t wait to follow the progress. With your exquisite taste, I’m sure it will be gorgeous!

[@mamazannie6060]

I think my favorite part is the gatehouse! The presentation is stunning as the first thing you see prior to the chateau.❤

[@lucegene5223]

I did wonder what the inside of a gatehouse looked like. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathleenclark5877]

It is so gratifying that a French Person is taking on the passion project of restoring a French Chateau. You clearly greatly respect the historic value of your property and are willing to go the extra lengths to maintain the integrity of the buildings. I am looking forward to watching the progress of your restoration project. In Canada we do not have anything of this age to appreciate so we can live vicariously through your efforts.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

The framework in the attic is spectacular. The whole structure is amazing and the views of your castle is breathtaking. I love your excitement and enthusiasm, it’s pure joy.

[@GeorgiainCOUSA]

I can just imagine that future bathroom with a pale blue ceiling and that beautiful copper tub, candles all around, pure Heaven!

[@katyhayes228]

It is the most exquisite Chateau and restoration I have ever seen! Tres magnifique! I look forward to more and more. Just fascinating.

[@jamesallison4875]

You might be the most charming man living today. I’m totally enjoying your videos. Keep it up!

[@pancracedewinter7581]

(isolation:insulation). Great show. So fascinating.

[@ritawood2772]

Isolation. Insulation. I finally understand. I am amazed by both historical structures and delighted at their rebirth through Antoni's care and knowledge.

[@cher128bx]

Truly a monumental restoration task that you have undertaken but I must say, I think you are the luckiest man in the world to have been given the privilege of breathing fresh life back into this architectural masterpiece.

[@Koni2947]

L'idée des câbles visibles est intéressante. L'espace est suffisamment important pour les faire oublier

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Such a joy to join you on the tour of the Châtelet . Your vision and respect for researching the history of the project is so interesting. Cannot wait to see the next steps towards the restoration. Definitely Quality above Quantity. Thankyou so much.

[@wandinha1591]

Amo ver vídeos cheios de história e respeito ao que foi feito nos séculos anteriores ao que vivemos. Parabéns e obrigada por nos mostrar tudo com tanta simpatia.

[@intentionallife2090]

Your chatelet has such a history that will fascinate all future visitors, for sure! Months from now, we look forward to a restored building made richer by the stories about it. Great job!

[@shamarcamargo1108]

Aloha, What a charming little chatelet! I imagine this could be a lovely dower house for grandmother or nanny to live in whilst caring for your children. One of my favorite features is the future bathing chamber. It has a spacious luxury that compliments a lounging 🛁 tub. I very much adore the attic space. The first room feels like a cozy yet grand sitting room. The half brick walls could easily accommodate low shelving, nestled beneath those glorious wooden arches. The amount of wall space could easily accommodate a large library of novels and picture books. This would leave a large open space perfect for children to gather and play with toys, read or color. Spending an afternoon lounging on a classic wrought iron daybed in front of the window, with a view of the chateau, reading and napping between visits with the children would bring joy to any grandmere. And the former Dovecote would make a splendid bedchamber with one of those French style wrought iron canopy beds. A sitting area adjacent to the bed and framed by the windows would be both charming to the eye and restful to the heart. Two dainty chairs and tiny table just big enough to enjoy a cup of tea before bed or hot chocolate and croissants in the morning would lend that romantic vibe, a worthy compliment to the miles of countryside beyond the windows. Beautiful, stunning , masterpiece. 🤩🥰 My thanks for your gracious tours of your grand new home!

[@beritboehme8439]

I'm always so excited when you upload. By far the best chateau channel. Can't wait to see the results of all the renovations.

[@lordspucke8938]

[@hiris1903]

Fabulous! I love your enthusiasm, and I must say I can understand why you love this place. So much history, and really in very good condition. Be careful going through doorways, with your tall height :) The accoustics in that one room (stereo) were amazing - you should've sung a song!

[@daviddeveau5101]

Fascinating to see the construction. And wonderful to imagine how you will turn it into something so beautiful inside.

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

Excellent tour. You are the perfect custodian of the magnificent property. The details you include make for great content. The prison marks. The pigeon roost or habitat.

[@bluewren2]

WHEW!Exhausting just listening to that itinerary,I simply wonder what drives anyone to take on these gigantic projects,especially when one has to listen to authoritarian dictates as to just what can and cannot be done?This is one of the most attractive I've seen online so far and the sweeping beautifully green lawns just wonderful plus the beautiful rich foliage of the surrounding trees the light color Château de Dampierre with it's amazingly historic entrance is offset brilliantly.

[@marilynwade9448]

Amazing historical property

[@MCFCTheMadHatter]

I am writing this in Sept 2023 and just realized that is the time set to start the restoration. I would be excited to watch the progress. I admire the young doctor for tackling such a grand project and wish him all the best. I subscribed and hope this will allow me the opportunity to follow along with his goals and achievements. I adore European history, particularly France. What an amazing endeavor! Good luck and God bless, Rebecca

Bonjour, I Loved the tour, and can't wait to see the Chatelet finished. Pigeons are also doves. The area that was built for them is called a "dovecote" They were raised for food, both for human consumption and to feed the animals that were kept at the Chateau.

I agree with other comments. Your restoration is interesting both because of the beauty and condition of the property and the taste and discernment that you bring to it. I hope you will show us each step of your progress now that you are vlogging and not just the finished product.

[@christikapa3856]

[@shannonstone2690]

I cannot wait to see the work begin! I really admire your passion and attention to detail. I’m so happy you’re allowed to make some changes that will enable the building to not only be restored but also usable! Museums are great but… this will be living history!

[@carolyndarragh1891]

Great video! Thanks

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I am in awe of the magnitude of the project and that you have the vision and excitement to see it through! It’s so exciting to see someone love the history of their property and home, there is much too little of that in the US, I’m afraid.

[@dachluhr]

Great thinking and planning.

[@lyricsdebra]

This has so much potential but so much more history. I can’t wait to see what you do.

[@mrbarthenry5968]

A tip for lighting the stairwell: There are handrails with integrated lighting on the market, so you have solved two problems at once: safe access to the upper floors and effective lighting of the staircase.

[@KVN7555]

Congratulations Antoni What an incredible life project. I highly recommend viewing Juan Pablo Molyneux’s video of his restored chateau (on KZbin), especially what he did to the attic space it’s incredible. Looking forward to following along on your adventure.

[@tages_matuna]

Wow! a library in a medieval tower, one of my wildest dreams 😍

[@Voxxpopulii]

Thank you… We love touring the “Middle Ages” castles and towers… You are quite knowledgeable and we agree with your choices… Note: Also liked the Pigeon vs Modern mail humor… Please keep us updated on your progress and any other projects that you may have in the works… And keep the humor flowing as well… Side Note: I was the proprietor of an Architectural Design & Engineering Firm and a General Construction Firm simultaneously… Built myself a Texas cattle ranch and retired at 49… But I started my career at 14… Currently; “OLD” and waiting for God…
