    Loooooooove the videos. You might want to consider toning down the saturation in the editing as the skin tones are a quite a bit orange (I understand it makes the scenery pop out better). As someone who films with drones regularly, ND filters are a great addon for sunny days so no additional saturation increases needed =) looking forward to future content, keep up the amazing work!

    Louis the xvth could be loved as far as being called he had annexed Napoleon's Corsica to France. Not because he left it in financial trouble, presided over several pointless wars and his successor was the ultimate cause of the French Revolution. Henry de IV in contrast was far more interesting. Born Catholic and raised by his Protestant Huguenot mother. He had great influence on the resurrection and creation of Protestant republics such as that of the Netherlands, Holland. Financed and supported. He kept the balance between Catholic and Protestant faith as Henry the good.

    •  8 годин тому

      All useful historical points. But you may be being a little harsh on Louis XVI to label him the 'ultimate cause of the French Revolution'. We would agree that Louis XV brought huge financial problems to France and embroiled France in several devastating wars. But when we reference him as 'The Beloved' this was the title given to him by the French people during this era. Henri IV was a much wiser ruler. They are both fascinating historical figures. Thank you for your message.

    This is a visually stunning episode. The story of the discovery and recovery of these two busts are a story all to themselves. Simply a feast for the eyes. And the mystery of why these two kings is probably in all the old paperwork of the chateau. What a project for a biographer! I’m as thrilled as everyone commenting about this here. They have said all the things I am thinking! ❤

    Fantastic guys but I get confused when the chateau is called 'her'. I thought chateau in the French language is masculine?

    •  18 годин тому

      Don't be confused... it's common in many languages to give certain types of objects a feminine personality - for example cars, boats and even (archaically) countries. Boat is masculine in French (le bateau), but people often refer to a particular boat as 'her'. Our architect did exactly this with Chateau de Purnon when he said to us (in French) "we are reawakening an old lady and must reawaken her slowly". Thanks for your message.

      Thank you for your message! Every chateau journey is different. For us, our focus is on honouring heritage and history and respecting the incredible work undertaken by our skilled artisans. This is not a renovation but a restoration. Many other chateaux are not heritage listed buildings so the owners are free to be creative in other ways. Each journey will be determined by the history of the buildings and the philosophy of the owners.

    Do all of the château s being renovated receive grants from the government or a heritage trust foundation? It's been fascinating to watch each one

    •  День тому

      Not all chateaux. To be eligible, a chateau must be heritage listed. Even then, not every listed chateau is supported and sometimes owners choose not to seek funding (sometimes they wish to retain total control over their restoration). Receiving funding requires an owner to accept a degree of involvement and oversight from the French heritage authorities. Thanks for your question and for following our journey.

    I’m 😢up the gentleness of the trades people in handling these sculptures was beautiful to watch. Congratulations my Aussie friends for restoring this beautiful chateau and these Kings. 🎉❤🎉
