Full Restoration Tour: Château de la Ferté Escape From The Chateau… 

A number of years -- more than 2 but less than 7 -- before you bought this magnificent lady, it was featured on a RU-vid video for a channel that has since gone kaput. The couple looking at it, had money to burn but no DIY skills whatsoever. They brought a French contractor with them who kept shaking his head. Eventually, he told them that even with 1 million euros, she could not be fixed and would fall down around them. So, they looked elsewhere -- and kept looking and looking. When you started your channel, I said -- I know that property! I was enthralled with the structural repairs you completed and how you put the floors back like a puzzle. Your decorating was spot on. You should be proud that you saved this magnificent lady.

I am so sorry you are leaving this grand place unfinished. You did a brilliant job. So much accomplished. I will miss this grand lady

Mum and Dad, I’m so proud of you and what you’ve achieved 🩵

I for one am going to truly miss all of you. Carole with your artistic talent and creativity and Adian for all your craftsmanship and hard work. I as many others Im sure have lived vicariously through your channel wishing I had the money to do what both of you have done. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.

As a 30 something yr old interior designer from Calgary, I will miss following along with your wonderful families journey. All of you have been a light of inspiration & moments of great humour (laughing with you). Take care, and please keep us updated!! 💜💚❤

You all did a magnificent service to this historic work of art. I am still sad he’s not keeping the chandeliers or draperies I think the quality of work and the decor is above and beyond. I dreamt it was I that would get to buy it lol I would cherish everything about the work you did. The wallpaper matched those custom draperies ❤

Thank you, Adrian, Carole and Beth! for all the hard work in filming, editing all the time you have done your renovations on 'Chateau de la Ferte' and taking us along on this epic journey of which I have followed from the very beginning. It is bittersweet and sad and this video was done superbly and as you went through the before and after of each room, I was remembering some of the things that kept in my memory, like the marble fireplace, Carol repairing it, Adrian the wooden floors in the salon, hall way, Beth helping with painting and your beautiful humour and laughter. I hope the new owners will let us see the end product of the chateau. I wish you Carole, Adrianne, Beth the very best in your transition back to England and you all should be so proud of what you achieved with this magnificent Chateau. I will miss the renovation. Big hugs to you all and look forward to your new adventures. What will your channel be called or do we follow on Chateau de la Ferte?

I've watched y'all from the beginning. It's mind boggling how much effort and love you have put into Chateau de la Ferte, AND how much you have improved its overall health! It must be bittersweet to leave. I wish you well in future endeavors and thank you for all the entertainment. I'll miss your (former) beautiful chateau!

I will miss your renovation of this great place! You did excellant work!

Incredible accomplishment! Thank you, for bringing us along on this marvelous journey of restoring this awesome chateau, outbuildings, garden and grounds! You should be so proud! Beth, congratulations on your graduation! I am very proud of you! It is not easy what you accomplished! Bravo! The filming and editing of this video is so well done! Thank you, Adrian, Carole and Beth! God bless your, future endeavors!

Beautiful, but bittersweet ❤ Love the before and after format- clever use of photography. Wishing you well in your next adventures.

You guys did an excellent job and saved this building. And when you have chateau withdrawal or crave some more gold leafing, Terry just presented his plans for the 401 suite. Lots of gold leafing/painting required, Carole! 😉⚜️🏯 You could join him, have some fun antiquing and hanging out with good friends.

How gorgeous. I hope the new owners continue with what you started.😊

Thanks for letting us get to see her again I bet you guys are missing her

I am in awe in what you all have achieved Carole and Adrian to the flooring the walls the ceilings ,the accents of gold and every thing done meticulously . To the wall paper choices and paints and ceiling detail ,the chandeliers to the furniture, Plus what you done to the grounds. I shall miss all of what you showed and loved watching you on your journey. I wish you both much happiness where ever you end up. Plus the bonus of being with the ones you love your Family. A big thankyou Carole Adrian and Beth😘😘

I'm going to really miss the ongoing chateau renovations. Hope your new adventures are as rewarding.

That was a lovely tribute to your renovation. So sad to see the lovely chandeliers go. The dining room was my favourite. Best for next adventures and hope Beth has had a good break from uni.

Well, you sure left your mark! Well done! I will miss Chateau De La Fuerte!

Офигенную работу по восстановлению люди провернули. Браво золотые руки.

Seeing the chateau without furniture is heartbreaking, but Carole and Adrian were exactly what was needed here. Let’s hope the new owners appreciate what you have started and finish the job. Goodness knows your hearts and souls remain within these walls! (And in the strawberry patch)

This just makes me cry😭 You should be very proud of yourselves!

Carola Adrián...un abrazo fuerte!!! gracias por compartir la restauración del castillo!!!🙋🙋😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gracias por esta maravillosa propiedad espero que los nuevos propietarios la terminen. Carol no estés triste hay muchos proyectos para ustedes que son increíbles ❤

Hate to see y'all go! Great people, incredible work and taste, beautiful film work. You will be missed. Thanks for the ride you gave us!

Everything turned out so beautifully. Warm greetings from Germany.

Thank you for the lovely recap, and I know you’re justly proud of all you accomplished. ♥️♥️♥️

A lovely before and after, never am I going to forget all of the hard work that you both put into this lovely chateau❤

A wonderful way to say goodbye to this beautiful old Dame. Loved the melding of old into new, well done Beth! Good luck to all of you, may your futures be bright and happy!

You have done SO much work over the years!!🎉 I hope that the new owners appreciate and respect it. Thank you so much for taking us along with you! ❤

I will mis your renovation of this wonderfull place you did a great job hope to see your next project maybe in the Uk thank you for sharing and goodbye 🌹🌺

I've watched and enjoyed so many Sundays,not only your vision for the chateau, but you and your family,it brightend my day every Sunday.i hope you start a new project and take us along.❤ if your going to change your blog name? Or is sadly the end.

Amazing work all round - floors, decor, and such a great idea to use the photo to current state, Beth. Thanks for bringing us along. Enjoy the family and looking forward to your next adventures.

Wishing you all the best in your future venture in the United Kingdom xx❤️🌹

When one door closes another door opens up. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure when it arises....

I really enjoyed seeing everything again and excellent editing, Bethany! I will miss seeing you guys ❤️

I miss y’all.

Though I understand your wanting to make changes on behalf of your family, oh how I miss your channel. It's been so enjoyable following your family and restoration journey. Thanks for this update video. The before and after pics/reels are amazing. You've done such a beautiful job. Thank you Adrian, Carole and Bethany!

Очень грустно, жаль. Смотрела всегда с удовольствием. Всего доброго.

So sad to see you leave all this hard work and progress behind. Good luck Carol and Adrian❤️❤️

You all really put everything into this project and you did a beautiful job! While it's sad that you weren't able to complete it, the chateau's next owners will hopefully carry on the tradition and you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you left a bit of yourselves as a part of its history, as well as introducing the world to the chateau and to your own family. You took on something that many of us dream of doing, but most of us don't have anywhere near the courage to actually do! I've always heard that owning a boat is like buying a hole in the water, into which you throw all your money. Everything I see on all the chateau channels I watch makes me think that owning a chateau is much the same. Thanks for taking us along on your journey, and all the best as you move on to your next life adventure!

It is amazing how much you accomplished in a relatively short time. It is sad that you could not finish bringing her fully back to life. Ah! but what you did manage you did extremely well. The basic bones of the chateau are mostly done, floors made safe, walls cleaned and drywalled where needed. The grounds are cleared and its secrets uncovered. You can tell this was a labour of love. It would have been nice to have known you recouped what you put into her, but the necessity to sell fairly fast and the markets dictate the selling price. I look forward to seeing your next projects, because I am sure there will be more to come. I honestly cannot see you sitting back without a major project in the works. Happy hunting in England for that over looked gem to bring back life into it. Saskatchewan, Canada.

You guys have done an absolutely remarkable job of restoring this magnificent chateau. I felt sad watching this video and even shed a tear or two. You have put your heart into this restoration and I trust that the new owners will appreciate and value what you have done. What a shame that they didn't keep those spectacular chandeliers and curtains. May your future journey be filled with much love, laughter and success. I shall miss watching your channel. Bon voyage.🤩🥰

I hope to you again on your new adventures.😊

I hate the fact you couldn’t keep your chateau. Everything you did to the chateau you did with love and patience. Looking at every room your restored and completed you did with style and simple elegance. You will be missed. Your channel was my favorite, couldn’t miss an episode every Sunday. Best of luck to all your future endeavors.

Thank you for inviting me into your home via your videos to watch how you transformed this beautiful home/chateau. You were astonishing caretakers of this beautiful building and the transformations were amazing. I literally got teary eyed as I saw the long hallway shots and remembered all of the hard work by your beautiful family. I want to thank you also for all of the creative editing of the videos. I wish you the best as you move back to England and I'll be looking for future new videos of your adventures.

You did so much work, yet there is more to do to finish the restoration. I hope the new owners continue and this piece of history is preserved and lived in for future generations. It is a beautiful building. The work in the grounds is impressive, nature reclaims so quickly. I enjoyed the videos and the shopping trips. The humor between both of you will be missed.

Hi Carole, Adrian & Beth, what a well done video! I have loved following every step of your chateau journey! The great work inside and out that you have done has been a pleasure to watch! Whoever bought this gem from you is very, very lucky for the meticulous care that was put into the renovation / restoration work. I wish you all the very best in life and hope that we will be very fortunate to still follow your new journey! Thank you so much, it's been a pleasure! Sending warm hugs and lots of love, Kathy xo

Thank you Carol, Adrian and Beth for all the amazing content you brought to us in your videos. A job well done by all! Many of us feel that you are part of the family and looked forward to our time on a Sunday to enjoy your company. I never heard the music, Borderless before your channel. I liked it so much it is my ring tone on my phone. Looking forward to future content, when you're back in action. Wishing you all the very best.

Сколько труда и сил вложено ! Очень жаль !😢

I am still pouting that you are still not continuing the restoration, but thx for sharing this with us ❤

You made such a great job of all the renovations and tastefully decorated it. ❤❤❤

Thank you for the recap of the Estate. What marvelous works you have done. Inside and out! You put much love and beauty into the old place.

Thank you for this beautiful footage. You all did an amazing job that you can be proud of. I hope the new owners finish the restoration and eventually share it with us. I loved your vision for the place and all the gold embellishments you did. Good luck with your future projects❤❤❤

Daug padaryta darbu,dar daugiau liko padaryti.....😊iki susitikimu,po atostogu....negi viska mesite😊 Viktorija ir Jonas Palanga

A beautiful restoration of a grand chateau!! I will miss you and your meticulous restoration. Wishing you all great happiness on your new ventures. Most of all, I wish you great love being near your wonderful family. ❤

Thank you for the experience, you did her proud. Liz

Great video! The château truly is beautiful. Miss you all. Blessings

So lovely, I was hoping you’d finish that with a view of the newly renovated front gates closing on the chateau! Well done family. Enjoy your next project! 👏👏

End of a chapter, and incredible restoration of the Chateau, thankyou for having us on this journey 😊

Wow ,you both done wonders with this chateau ,did'nt realize how much work you had done ,sure bought it back to life .👍Loved dining room ,Thanks for showing ,Best for both ,xx

So sad to see all-the beautiful chandeliers gone !!! It was the most beautiful Chateau you did a great job, but moving on to the next chapter, it will never look like you had it don’t care what the new owner does. Good luck in your new life love and hugs to you and your family. Will be looking for the next chapter in your lives. Love to you all!👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🙏🇨🇦

This video was a great roundup of all your accomplishments. The Chateau looks wonderful. I've enjoyed this channel and will keep watching. God bless.

I remember first seeing this chateau when another chateau couple looked at buying it - and decided it was too far gone! You proved all the doubters wrong! Such beautiful work done, and I’m so going to miss sharing your days. Good luck for the future, and enjoy your family! x

درود به شما بسیار متاسف شدم از اینکه دیگر تمام شدن این کاخ زیبا را با سلیقه عالی تو و همسرت نخواهم دید برای من ایرانی (پارس) که اتفاقا باستان شناسی و مرمت خوانده ام بسیار دلنشین بود دیدن کار فوق‌العاده شما هر یکشنبه خیلی خیلی ناراحت و غمگین شدم 😢 یک ایرانی از تهران امیدوارم ترانسلیتر خوب ترجمه کند مخصوصا پارسی نوشتم شاید براتون جالب باشه که از دیار پارس هم تماشاچی همیشگی داشتید! دوستتان دارم به امید دیدن شما در پروژه بعدی❤

✨I enjoyed every vlog of your epic restoration adventure. You are all such talented, dedicated and hard working people. Looking forward to following your next project. In the meantime, hopefully some well-deserved rest and relaxation!✨

Good luck, and thank you. I discovered your channel during pandemia and enjoyed your versatility and problem solving. You are a couple of wonderful talents, and I think you saved Chateau Le Ferté for the future, and showed that old constructions can be fix on a budget.

You did a remarkable restoration of this home and property! Thank you for sharing your work and creativity with us.

Thanks for the video!

It's been a tremendous ride, accompanying you along your Chateau adventure Thank you! Looking forward to reading about a new adventure...... Have a great summer

Loved following the journey of the château, truly a labor of love for you and your family. Honestly, where did you learn those incredible skills? The carpentry skills and the detailed work are simply stunning.

There will never be more loving & caring caretaker of the chateau other then you folks. Emptiness lies sadness. It feels as though chateau is mistful and missing the previous occupants, meaning you.. To Carol, Adrian, & Beth; May you find happiness where ever you decide to settle. As sad as this parting is, it's not the end. A significant chapter had opened, progressed and ended. May there be another splendid chapter begin soon. And let us know when and where. Thank you for sharing part of your life with us. Take care and be well.

❤❤❤❤happy sunday to you❤❤❤❤

You did a fantastic job on the work and enjoyed watching the progress. Just hope the new owner continues the renovation. Certainly the windows need doing and lime rendering the facade. Be interesting what your next project is.

We love watching your work! The saga of a house lovingly refinished.

Well Adrian and Carole! That video put it in a nutshell! The amazing work you both did and attention to detail was fantastic. A labour of love truly 🫶. My only regret was not seeing your touch put into the coach house. As I do love that building. Be very proud of your accomplishments as I certainly am. Thank you Beth! For all your hard work editing the content. It’s not an easy thing to do. But you definitely did it very well. So now just awaiting the name change for the channel for your next project. I would say go and enjoy the summer back in the UK but! It’s been as poor as the one in France 🤣. Stay lovely and happy and enjoy the extra time you will have with the growing family. Until me meet again (virtually)😝😝. Luv James❤️❤️🍻🥂

Thanks Carole and Adrian for taking us on your journey with Chateau de la Ferte, and thanks too for Beth's editing skills and for this valedictory vlog. I think what you both did with the Grand Salon, puzzling out how the floor was to be laid and gold leafing all the plaster accents was probably the highlight. We were still looking forward to what you would do with the top floor and the Coach house but at the end of the day, love of family is more important than property. That's not to say I won't be looking out for what you plan for your next home. Best wishes to you all.

Truly a labour of love! Bravo! Well done! ❤ With love, from Vancouver Island.

I’m missing you guys already. I’m sure you are going to have some surprises coming up 😊

Thank you all so much the inspiration.. when needed the most. 🙏❤️🥲🇨🇦God bless you all.

I hope, you have a new project for US! In UK. Me and my wife love you both, greetings from the Czech Republic

Every restoration was done beautifully. We saw it all 🌟 Loved the artistic editing, Beth. Sad to leave but your adventurous spirit will stand you in good stead for the next chapter 🩷 Best wishes.

Lovely video! So nice to see all the work you have done. Thank you.

Please keep us updated with your lives post- chateau. We have loved sharing in your journey.

Thank you your channel was absolutely amazing the chateau is stunning all the best for the future

Please keep us updated on all your future restorations in UK. Every best wish.

What a labour of love! 🤗🇨🇦

Be very proud of the amazing work you have done and absolutely enthralled at your constant energy and enthusiasm. I hope to see progress. It will be hard for you though, as anothers vision likely be different from your own. I hope you buy another grand lady in the UK and we get to watch you transform that home. Best of luck.

So much accomplished & beautifully restored. Lucky are the new owners 🥰

Thank you for sharing this beautiful chateau with all of us viewers. I really enjoyed your vlogs and will miss them greatly. All the best on your new adventures back in England. 😢❤

Very nice episode! Loved seeing the amazing before and afters! See you soon I’m sure! 🩷👏🏻👏🏻

Impressive video of before and after. Somewhat heartbreaking I’m sure. Thanks so much for sharing

I loved this one last look at Chateau de la Ferte, although it made me sad. What amazing work you did to ensure her future. I hope the new owner continues your work to with the love and care you all put into your restoration. ❤

I want to say how much I came to be attached to all of you and the chateau. One of my dreams was to have restored and lived in a proud and grand home such as yours. I admire and am in awe of all of your patience, talent and devotion to bring this chateau back to its original glory. You are an inspiration and while my dream is and will be just that, watching your videos allowed me to See what could have been and for that I an so grateful. I hope to see your next project unfold and bless all of you for not giving up and preserving this beautiful piece of history.

I had tears in my eyes when I watched this the job you did was magnificent

❤ Hope you keep us updated in your new life every now and then. Love ya'll, you will be missed!

Love what you've done, you made a chateau that I think Beauty and the Beast would feel comfy in.

I can't wait to see what Beth films you doing next. Sailing around the world?

Adrian, Carole and Beth …what a spectacular job you have done. I will miss watching you here. Hope to see you again. Best of luck in the future.

I cried. You have had put so much love,time and knowledge in this chateau ( and money also). This was a great experience for you both but also for the children. I do respect youre choice to live in England again but I wish you could take the chateau with you.

Please keep us updated with your future endeavors. You all did a magnificent job improving the château and grounds. Especially the gold details and floors. I would have given up.
