Just looking at the Rosieres' CDIY ep on the award they received for sensitive historic
resto.
It's a national award.
Les VMF souhaitent valoriser la mission d’intérêt général que remplissent les propriétaires qui aident à la conservation du patrimoine.

Amy describes how discreetly the locals scoped them and their resto out -- the national award came as a complete surprise.
It's not clear to me what the criteria are or even what the award is -- among the things she and Marc are doing is restoring the chateau as a local economic power, through the future establishment of vineyards. Marc is French, unlike most kleptocratic chateau developers.
Just saying. There is another model for chateau restoration and the people of France, on a local and on a national level, are quick to perceive, appreciate, and reward it.
