In this video, Géraud leads us through a lot of different rooms of the castle. We’ll step into the serene chapel, a testament to the family’s legacy and faith, and delve into the archives room where the pages of history come alive with tales of the past.
Experience the elegance of the bedrooms, each with its own unique charm and history. As we move through these personal spaces, Géraud shares anecdotes and family stories, connecting the past with the present.
This tour is more than just a walkthrough of a historic building; it's a journey through the lives and times of the Bonneval family. From architectural marvels to intimate family tales, the Château de Bonneval offers a rare window into a thousand years of history.

I just love that this family has managed to keep this chateau in their family. Thats an amazing feat by itself
-
It's so nice to see that the family actually lives there. So many big castles are either not lived in at all or used just for the public to visit. Hopefully, the son or any other children will keep it in the family and take as much care of it as the previous generations have.
-
people hate on generational wealthy families these days but thank god for families like yours preserving our precious history.
-
What in the world is going on here? This gentleman is so gracious and knowledgeable that the time passed quickly. The fact that he and his wife are living with four (more or less) centuries of well documented history is unusual. Wonderful tour, and merci bien, Monsieur. I will most likely dream about this chateau!
-
When you consider the turbulent events in history that the family and chateau must have seen - plague, reformation, revolution, two world wars, etc, it really is an extraordinary achievement to have not only maintained the building, but to have retained ownership within the same family.
-
Appreciate both homeowners who allowed us to come into their beautiful home, an also the interpreter which gave this an authentic French feel, cause he himself is French, so thank you so much, I did not expect to enjoy this as much as I did. God bless you an your families. May you continue your bloodline in your secured historical beauty. ❤

Your home is magnificent! All that history and beauty. Thank you for sharing.
-
Another fantastic presentation. What an incredible history behind this beautiful family home. It's always a plus to have the owner conduct the tour, but how rare and wonderful to have a docent who tracks his lineage at the Château for the past millennium. Amazing! Thanks for the entertaining and enlightening tour.

Spectacular château and history. It's mind-blowing that the same family has lived here for so many generations
-
This was incredible! I really love the fact that the family lives and uses the entire chateau! You can tell that this chateau is bursting with life and love! Gorgeous!
-
Absolutely loved this one, how amazingly lucky/ blessed his family is to have such rich history, what a treasure. I enjoyed the dubbing, but would love to hear the original French speaker as well. My ancestry is from the Nouvelle France, ce serait agréable de lui écouter en français et aussi pratiquer la langue. Merci beaucoup pour cette Vlog et bonjour de la Californie.🌴☀️🙏🏻

Bonjour, thank you for sharing your family home/castle with us. It's absolutely beautiful, the rich history is fascinating. I love how it's remained in the family and has withstood the test of time.

You do not know how fortunate you are to have this wealth of knowledge of your family. I have been doing mine and my husbands genealogy for years now. I absolutely love the searching and finding out those little tidbits of information. If I were in your shoes I would be sitting every evening in the archive room reading every bit of information there is in all those drawers. Everything is so amazingly laid out for you. I absolutely love your family's story. What a jewel you have in your families' genealogy. You are now the keeper of the Chateau. I hope your son and his wife will carry on when it is their time. 1000 years is amazingly wonderful. Thank you for taking us through yours and your ancestors story. What a privilege you have.

You had told us the very interesting history of that beautiful chateau. I could feel how proud you are as a descendant of so many generations who kept your home for centuries. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video.
