  Dear Felicity and Tim,<br><br>Following our visit to Château de Purnon last Saturday, we wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your warm welcome and for the wonderful experience we had the privilege of sharing.<br><br>We are French Canadians, and visiting Château de Purnon was an absolute must when planning our trip to France. We first discovered Purnon through your content, but seeing it in person and having the opportunity to meet you made the experience even more special.<br><br>Due to the large number of visitors, we unfortunately did not have the opportunity to speak with you personally. Nevertheless, we wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much we admire all the work you are doing to bring this magnificent château back to life.<br><br>Beyond the restoration itself, your talent for communication, your ability to tell Purnon’s story, and above all, your ability to make people feel genuine emotions through your videos and posts are truly remarkable. You have a rare gift for making people feel as though they are part of the journey, even from thousands of kilometres away.<br><br>You can truly feel the passion, perseverance and love that you both put into Purnon. We sincerely believe that the success you are experiencing today is richly deserved. You have accomplished so much more than restoring a château: you have created a human story around Purnon that people genuinely want to connect with and be part of.<br><br>Purnon could not have wished for better custodians to write the next chapter of its story.<br><br>We leave Château de Purnon with wonderful memories, but above all, with the feeling that we had the chance to meet two truly passionate and wonderful people. We will continue to follow your journey with great interest, and we sincerely wish you all the success you deserve for everything that lies ahead.<br><br>Thank you again for your warm welcome and for everything you are bringing to life around Purnon.<br><br>A special hello to Valentina and Yannick, who were both absolutely lovely and so friendly.<br><br>Avec toute notre admiration, nos plus sincères salutations du Québec,<br><br>Patrick and Nathalie

  As beautiful as Purnon is, it is more beautiful with all of the people there. &nbsp;It looks alive.

  While watching the opening sequence and listening to your poetic narrative, the image of you years ago in the attic with the rain pouring down came into my mind - and tears welled into my eyes(as they are again as these words are typed). &nbsp;Thank you, thank you, thank you for loving and saving this magnificent structure ... for sharing with the world ... &nbsp;may the LORD bless and keep you ...

  Every week I am touched by the amount of love, hard work and enthusiasm y&apos;all manifest towards Purnon. &nbsp;What a labor of love! &nbsp;Its a joy for everyone to be able to celebrate with you this weekend. &nbsp;I was thinking how quiet it must be after the fete - no roofers banging, no bulldozers rumbling around, no chiseling sounds. &nbsp;That must be a tremendous reward for all the effort you have made. &nbsp;ENJOY and Thank You.

  We were there and the weather and organization were fantastic. Hoping we can make this an annual event while I&apos;m able. <br><br>The bread was fantastic and sausage sizzle &nbsp;awesome. <br><br>You&apos;re making a new village around your enthusiasm. <br>Cheers

  Everything was so beautiful and wonderful! We met some new friends and the weather was incredible. Thank you to all who put this together! Seeing the Chateau in person was well worthy the trip from Lafayette, Louisiana USA. I had a wonderful visit with Tim and Flick I feel like I met celebrities you all do such a great job with the video production. We can’t wait to go back next year. ❤ All the BEST keep up the great work.

  Part of the joy of being an armchair traveler is feeling connected to the experience because you have invited us to &nbsp;&quot;walk in your shoes&quot;. You and Tim are so filled with grace, and so gracious and warm toward your guests onsite and here online, that I am moved to tears with each episode. Every video is a gem; beautiful to watch and listen to, informative and resonant. I am so grateful to have discovered you and your grand adventure.
