We Bought An Abandoned Chateau, THEN & NOW, 2 YEAR Renovation (in 20 minutes) Timelapse.

I love the fact that you kept the heart of the chateau alive. You didn’t restore it to a modern home. You kept the essence of that amazing architecture, and made it a home again. c’est juste magnifique!!

You can almost hear the sigh of relief from the house that it has been healed from inside out, beautiful job!

Holy, I can’t believe you guys remodeled the castle only by family members, only spend 2 years! YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE GENIUS! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊❤

That final shot, magnificent! Watching this, I could almost feel the place weeping with joy at being saved. Say what you want about today's youth, but these young people prove that there are some that appreciate the old and aren't afraid to work to restore it to it's former glory. Congratulations to you.

From the moment this channel began, I have been here. Through the back breaking work, the disappointments, tears and struggles...there was something else that rose far above this. The determination, love, smiles, encouragement and family. The pain staking details on every single job, just that perfect piece to make it all come together, that hue of paint or stain that changed the entire room or piece. The incredible talent of each member of the family came together in unison every single day of the last 2 years. THIS is how you renovate a chateau!!!!❤ Standing ovation!!!!!👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏

It’s nearly impossible to fathom the daunting renovations that stood before you just two years ago, and how much the four of you and Jonathan have accomplished. You had a handful of wonderful volunteers and family help along the way, but none of you could ever be accused of laziness, that’s for sure. Imagine what the chateau will be in the next two years. Congratulations!! xx

Buying a chateau is a very tempting idea, but really it is for those that can do a lot of the work themselves or have a very generous disposal income to do the restoration. I really admire all of those that adventured themselves to buy this properties that have been abandoned for so many years and put so much hard work in bringing them back to life. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us! ❤

This old house thanks you for bringing life back to her majestic presence. Beautiful job.

At the end, I cried. Y’all brought life back into this place. Thank you for restoring this beauty.

What struck me the most with this video, besides how far you’ve all come in your DIY efforts, is the immense amount of editing that it took to make the video itself. And your music was perfect!! Awesome job!

I can’t believe this only took twenty minutes. It must be magic.

Greetings from the United States. I've watched your videos from day one. I thought I would go back and watch this time lapse video from a year ago to get a bit of perspective. All I can say is, Wow, wow and WOW!!! This brought tears to my eyes. You are an amazing, talented and hard working family and this extraordinary chateau renovation is the absolute proof of that. Well done to you all.

The amount of work y’all have done in just two years is astounding 👏❤️

I am from the US, and I was a contractor/designer for more than 40 years. I have been with you all since the beginning of your journey. You are my guilty pleasure, I can not wait for your next episode each week, ready for my thumbs up. I love the “love” you bring as a family and the talent you share to put this beautiful Chateau back where it belongs. Congrats to a family that really deserves it. ❤️A big fan from Fresno, California, USA.

I love how tenderly the paneling was removed, repaired, then rehung.

"Renovation" for such a gem would be "vandalization" în my view. I'm so glad that you took great pain in restoring it to its glory days, with care and heart.

This dropped into my feed today. This is just amazing! I love that old things are made beautiful and useful again. Tremendous job.

Bonsoir, quel courage et un beau challenge avec des personnes rayonnantes, souriantes, plein de vie et de volonté. Tout mon respect car il est vrai qu'en France beaucoup de châteaux, manoirs, maison de maîtres et bourgeoises sont abandonnés car coûteuses en entretien ou autres mais grâce à de belles âmes comme vous, elles ont une deuxième vie, merci infiniment.

I’m so glad you did not change the inherit energy of the place, some families restore homes but modernize them

It looks like Cinderella’s Chateau. It’s very satisfying, how you brought the beauty back to it’s life. And you tried everything just to make everything the same as it was. Kudos to your team!
