FAQ

ARE THESE EXCLUSIVE TOURS IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE ?

One was recorded in English Language (château de Bostz), other were recorded in French language. We made translations and added english subtitles on them.

WHY THESE PROGRAMS ARE NOT FREE ?

Recording all these programs everywhere in France represented a huge investment (travel expenses, equipment/gears, accomodation in France for more than 2 months, time to record and edit videos, translation, subtitles, …).

By contributing (to watch these exclusive tours), you support our work and allow us to continue providing you new exclusive tours for non french speaking community.

CAN I WATCH THESE EXCLUSIVE TOURS IN MY COUNTRY? WHEN I WANT? ?

YES, once you have a valid pass or you become a member, you can watch all exclusive tours available from ANYWHERE in the world and at ANYTIME (24/7)

ON WHICH DEVICES CAN I WATCH THESE VIDEOS?

You can watch these Exclusive Tours on ANY DEVICE: smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and even TV via Chromecast and Airplay.

CAN I WATCH AN EXCLUSIVE TOUR BEFORE TO REGISTER ?

Sure!

Take a look on our brand new Youtube Channel (in english): https://youtube.com/c/sochateauxtv

You will find several of our Exclusive Tours we already broadcasted, including:

Château du Lude, with Barbara de Nicolaÿ, owner

Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, with Alexandre de Vogüé, co-owner

Peles Castle (National Museum / Romania)

WHO ARE YOU EXACTLY ?

Good question 🙂

So Châteaux is a well known (French speaking) media dedicated to castles.

We exist since 2019.

We created a printed castle guide, then developed a digital guide, then started (a year and half ago) to broadcast live programs with castle owners.

Until now, we mainly focused on the French speaking community (as it is our native language).

But these last months, we received a lot of requests asking us to broadcast programs in English.

So we decided to create this series of exclusive tours of castles, for English speaking castle enthusiasts!

WHAT IS THE AVERAGE DURATION OF A PROGRAM?

The average duration of a program/tour is 25 minutes.

From 16 minutes up to 50+ minutes depending on the castle.

HOW CAN I FIND AND WATCH THESES TOURS ?

Once you have a FULL PASS or you become a member, you will immediately receive an email notification with the link to watch these Exclusive Tours.
