We are in awe of the decor! The Notre Dame carpet looks incredible.🤌Which of these important pieces of French furniture would you love to have in your home? 😍
just think about it
you got only 1 copy of this
if it break or somehow lose it
its the end of a whole story
This furnitures doesn't even come close to Chinese furnitures.
I like furniture carved from ships of war . Timber with a story of glory and sacrifice. Priceless…
3:39 pure Wes Anderson 😎
Conlonialism
hi… could you put the English subtitles in full on the platform, not just in the video? The subtitles on the video are hard to see, and when I try to translate to my language, it's the English in the beginning that is translated, not what's in French. It's extra hard to listen and read different languages…
wow!!!
Since when British people they” in Paris, France”?
probabaly full of bed bugs
It's great to see the French haven't lost their craftsmanship.
wow the most beautiful furnitures ive seen in my life🤯🤯
Terrible editing. No thought was given into admiring the works, merely flashing them on screen was deemed to suffice?
I wonder what the guy talking thinks of IKEA? lol
the palace of versaille? more like let's design a palace without toilets or a sewer system. ohhhhhhhh gotta love the french. imagine walking through your palace and seeing people pooping and peeing in the corners.
Also they're selling SCILENCERS at the gun store!!!!!!!! I already told the governor of New York Hulko and the police. Because New York, Texas, Nebraska, and Mastercard Maestro, JCPenny, WellsFargo all involving my name on Illustrated company booklets showing i have money hoes and it's going down if i don't have my account. I've set up everything involving ATMS and how you get a HOLD of an area but these is Corpus Christi it's my BODY and you won't touch without realizing you're touching Christ. It's under NEW MANAGEMENT 🧭 MY MANAGEMENT. Exxon, and all others you have reciept to show sis.
As a French man, I feel ashamed. Our country is living far beyonds its means
So we the peasants are told to reduce our carbon emissions, but how much energy goes into that furniture? Why can't the leaders lead by example and use the cheap recycled furniture we are told to use to save the planet
This video has a slight Wes Anderson vibe to it.
l'éloquance de cet homme est superbe 🙂
What a wonderful place. Brilliant people looking after it all. Love it
Subhanallah
Baquete
this guys french is so clear, that even i, a spanish and romanian speaker, could understand a majority of what he says
Joseph-Ignace Guillotin was the one and only appropriate carpenter for French aristocrats.
cette parti la de la France est vraiment belle
Btw furniture tapestry means upholstery in English
I gotta say, the slight change in direction this channel has taken (like including the camera men in the video) has improved the videos immensely. Great big story was a hidden gem back in the day, good to see theyre back. And they're not owned by CNN anymore, even better.
This cake is a lie. They get from africa.
When does the restoration beg the question of the ship of Theseus?
Material stolen from African countries bastard's
kinda looks like adam friedland of the adam friedland show
As an artist, I am really glad they opened their doors to the public. Seeing such amazing craftsmanship is what inspires people to pursue such an industry and join an institution like this.
When you see something truly beautiful as a child can motivate many people to go down that path. I know for I was the same.
He won't like it when I tell him that everything eventually turns to dust.
