You arrived in this castle in 2003, I believe.
Yes, that's right.
In London.
We tried to make a change of life.
A tulip, I see. A tigel.
Yes, it's very beautiful. But also a sequoia.
And a lot of other trees, like the lichidambar.
I think you lost a lot of trees during the storm.
800.
800 trees, that's amazing.
And so you replanted them.
Every time we plant a tree, we think of someone who has left.
We also planted a beautiful tree for Nelson Mandela.
Okay, since you also come from South Africa, it's a very mixed family.
Maybe we'll go see the inside of your castle.
Yes, with pleasure.
And we have a lot of sauce here.
So this is the water you drink every day?
Yes.
Can I taste it?
Go ahead.
The living room, this is it?
The living room, exactly, with a huge wooden fireplace.
Magnificent.
What's that?
It's a...
Oh, a little heater.
Yes.
To heat the room.
Does it work?
Yes, it works.
And there's also one upstairs, in the room upstairs.
Well, that's very practical.
Yes, it is.
Shall we continue our visit?
Yes.
This way?
Yes.
Corot might have come here.
He came here.
Yes, he did.
That's for sure.
And he might have painted these woods, but we don't know.
We don't know.
It's not signed, so we don't know.
It's not signed.
In any case, these are magnificent landscapes, as Corot liked to paint.
Yes.
We also knew that he liked to paint the glen on the side of Saint-Junior.
In any case, here, the people who can sleep here are really
cocooned and cheerful.
It's a very bright room, with the balcony, and it's a great room.
I love this room.
Thank you very much, Colette, Agnès, for your visit to this castle in Ribagnac.
And I think I'm going to stay here, because the view is magnificent.
