The day we've been waiting for for so long has arrived. Now that we're living in the coach house, we can finally start to literally rip off the layers of 20th century renovations in our chateau to find out which historic features might have survived beneath. The chateau with the story under the floorboards that I mention later on in the video is this one: www.bbc.com/news/stories-4426...
We are Marc, Amy, Clement and Juliette, a French-English family restoring a 33 room medieval chateau and huge estate in southern France. Follow our award-winning, historically-sensitive restorations and our journey towards self-sufficiency and sustainability, with plenty of laughter along the way.
We have just launched a brand new channel, @LostGardensofChateauRosieres to showcase our gardens and estate project. We'd love it if you could head over and click subscribe if you like it!

The hallway looks so much lighter, brighter and cleaner with just the wallpaper gone. The light is a huge factor to consider going forward.

@Ejlrstn 17 дней назад

Love the shot of everyone pulling off a piece of paper with the window behind and also the one of Clement tumbling backwards when his let’s go!

@Chroniclesofrosieres 17 дней назад

Clement falling made me laugh so much. I mean that sounds bad but it was just so comedic!

@gelsilicawalker3835 17 дней назад

Enjoying watching the children with their helping hands & the corridor/hallway looks so much brighter.

@johnoleary528 17 дней назад

The hallway looks so much brighter😊 Clement and Juliette are growing so quickly 😊

@seawall5585 17 дней назад

The hallway is so much brighter now that you have stripped off the wall covering. It looks really satisfying to pull down the big strips 😊 So good to see Margot back with you, and most especially to see Amy appearing more rested and Marc back to form.

Juliet is a natural wallpaper remover. Her sweet little face is so serious as she works. I loved it❤️❤️

@michaelschwaiger8071 17 дней назад

I really love this episode! Clement and Juliette were obviously having great fun ripping down the wallpaper. They were great helpers, again. And the result of the work speaks for itself - it looks so much better than before!

@Chroniclesofrosieres 17 дней назад

Glad you enjoyed it! It was such a fun project!

@pdq5465 5 дней назад

It must have felt like such a positive experience to start getting down that wallpaper, & with little danger of anyone getting hurt. I loved seeing the children helping.

@lozinozz7567 17 дней назад

So much brighter 😊 that would have felt so satisfying Amy ❤ good to see Marc back on his feet and in the sandals again

@m.g.9042 17 дней назад

Amazing how the corridor is instantly so much brighter already.

@carolynmaccord3635 17 дней назад

When I removed the 2 layers of wallpaper in our hallway /stairwells/foyer I found an x and the date 1904. I think the paper installer made their mark and dated the work. The history and stories are what make these old places interesting ❤

@sniderspider7034 17 дней назад

I think it's fascinating how doors came to light when the wall paper came off... this space just opens up and looks so much better. I think Juliette was in her element being allowed to pick at a wall and not get in trouble for it. Thanks so much for sharing this moment in time.

@jamesthurber4730 15 дней назад

Clement reminds me more and more of Marc everyday! And Juliette's attention to detail is wonderful!

@penihavir1777 17 дней назад

So glad to see Marc up and around! ♥️♥️♥️ Rug races! 😁🤣😁 Wow, that space is so much brighter and more pleasant already - very much a good call to do that now, even if you won’t finish it soon. A pity you haven’t found a secret diary yet - awesome story, and thanks for the link. But fun to find some mystery sketches. Plus the new puzzle of the archway. The dendocronology sounds like a great student project/practice session for the university of Lyon. “Here kid, this could be from any time or place, do your best.” 😁 Fun to see the kids joining in, Clement with his classic enthusiasm and great brush-work, and Juliet with her always-intense concentration. ♥️♥️♥️ I’m looking forward to the next chapter in the chateau, and to head back to the garden next week.

In the early days, they wallpapered with a tin white wallpaper to cover uneven parts of walls. Or over wooden doors to hide them. It became so much lighter, more beautiful

Opening your home life, albeit to a uniquely homey chateau experience is in itself a privilege to receive but as well a humanitarian act of generosity to many old folk living alone like myself, a gift of human poetry at it's finest wit, candor and infinite tenderness. Special thanks to brilliant and lovely Margo and her mum .🌹🌹🌹

@debbiemilan2867 16 дней назад

About 20 years ago, we pulled down the past owners’ vinyl wallpaper in our hallway.The kids loved it so much that 2 weeks later I received a call from my mom in California who was watching the kids while I was in New Orleans. She said she walked into her guest bedroom to find my daughter happily peeling the paper off the walls! It’s a good thing my mom never liked that paper much! 😂

It looks so much lighter now - what is behind the door ? If you mix warm water and washing up liquid in a spray bottle you can spray the walls and then peel the paper off it’s much quicker than a steamer ❤

@smgreenartsprivate 17 дней назад

I thought it would be just plaster or wood and no wallpaper didn't seem like the kind of chateau that would at least in the upper levels. I think in rooms that changed more often dining or kitchen you might find something or bedrooms but not hallways. Keep the hessian can always sell it some people like that stuff for crafting as you very well could make cards with it and sell them. I am glad Marc is feeling better to help out :) nice to see Margot :) Clement and Juliette. I love the walled cabinets with keys would be the only thing I would keep regardless of the paper or wood. I'd take a photo and paint or plaster or wallpaper over. But that's me wanting to move forward and finish renovation. Sell it at a reclamation or a brocante donation that hessian it will get loved by someone.
