About So Châteaux TV
Our Origin: Founded in 2019, So Châteaux began as a passion project and has since grown into a renowned platform dedicated to showcasing the grandeur and history of French châteaux.
Our Founder’s Journey: Olivier Schweizer has been enamored with castles and their rich histories for decades. His journey took him to the directorial roles of two distinct châteaux in France, one nestled in the picturesque region of Burgundy and the other in the vibrant Ile-de-France, near Paris. Olivier’s dedication to history also led him to work for 7 years alongside Jean-Louis Remilleux, the renowned French TV Producer known for the acclaimed TV show “Secrets d’Histoire,” a staple in French historical programming.
Our Mission: At So Châteaux TV, we aim to share the captivating stories of castles, told by the most authentic narrators: the owners themselves. Our commitment to quality content ensures that every tale, every corner, and every piece of furniture and decoration is presented in its full splendor, making history accessible and engaging for our global audience.
What Sets Us Apart: Our unique selling point lies in our dedication to authenticity. We are the pioneers in offering French Château tours guided by the owners themselves. Recognizing the linguistic barriers, we’ve taken a step further by manually transcribing and translating each episode into multiple languages, ensuring our content is accessible to a global audience. And now, with the launch of our English dubbed videos, we’re set to redefine the way history is consumed.
Our Community: With a following of over 200,000 on social media, we’ve built a community of history buffs, architecture enthusiasts, and castle lovers. Our videos have been viewed over 12 million times on YouTube, a testament to our content’s appeal.
Looking Ahead: Our vision for the future is clear: to establish So Châteaux TV as the largest community of castle enthusiasts worldwide. With plans to launch a range of new services and products, including a weekly newsletter, membership community, digital and printed guides in English, and dubbed videos in multiple languages, we’re just getting started.
Join us on this journey as we unravel the mysteries, histories, and architectural marvels of French châteaux.
