And I cannot conclude this video without mentioning the disappearance.
d'Anthony Calmon, owner of the Château de Dampierre.
You may have seen it, if you're a castle enthusiast, certainly.
Anthony, he was a wonderful person.
I was fortunate to have known him since the beginning of his adventures.
at the Château de Dampierre, almost, since he had entrusted me with the production,
the production of the videos for his YouTube channel, which was working very, very well.
He was truly passionate about his project, about his castle.
He wanted to share it with everyone.
This was truly a shock for me to learn this news.
Not as much, of course, as his family, as his close ones.
And I went to see her sister Magali in order to shoot a video with her.
where she will present the latest works completed by Anthony
and that he did not have the pleasure of sharing first, but also of seeing,
particularly the installation of certain parquet floors, bathtubs, etc.
And her sister decided to take over for this video
in order to present the latest works carried out by Anthony
at the Château de Dampierre.
This video will be available very soon on the Sochateau YouTube channel.
Thank you all for following us on this adventure.
The heritage and the castles, I often say,
It is the women and men who keep them alive.
And that is what I am trying to do modestly with Sochateau.
Share these stories, often beautiful, but sometimes cruel.
See you soon.
