Thanks to our growing Patreon community, we are able to cover the cost of equipment rentals and Cypress Trees for our chateau garden renovation!
Patreon funding goes directly toward renovating the historical Chateau de Lesigny!
Special thanks to our dear Patrons: Jesse, Bernadette, Theo, and Morgan for your outstanding support of this Beau Chateau!
You can help support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community and gain access to exclusive videos, updates and more!
Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, we made a different kind of video to answer a few questions we have received from viewers about chateau renovations. By using the combined understanding and experience of our chateau renovation, and that of several other chateau owners we know, we believe this video can give some insight for anyone who is interested in chateau renovating. If you have more questions, then please let us know in the comment section. Be sure to tune in next weekend for a special weekly upload with Francis, our family, and a little Christmas festivities in Paris!
Our "beau chateau" (The 500-year-old, Chateau De Lesigny), is located near Paris, France. Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive! We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way!
As a French/American UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture (Daphne), and a U.S. Air Force Tactical Response Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist (Ian), we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have a long road ahead of us and we are excited to share the experience with you!
You can support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community, where you can also gain access to exclusive videos and behind the scene access with Daphne and Ian! All patron funding is used to renovate this historical French Chateau. Every patron is paramount to our chateau renovations and we thank you all tremendously!

Thank you for your honest and genuine assessment of the realities of buying a French Chateau. This will hopefully save anyone who is lost in just the romanticism of owning a French Chateau and instead will approach it with, yes a passionate heart, but also a clear head. Be proud of the work you are doing at this amazingly beautiful Chateau! A bientot!🎄

@TheBeauChateau Год назад

Thank you! Isn’t it crazy how chateaus can be left to rot?! We saw an absolutely stunning chateau just abandoned because the foundation that received it won’t bother to maintain it and won’t sell it for a reasonable price. It’s actually a problem here

@Bamboule05 Год назад

Yes, I've seen some breathtaking srchitectural gems, abandoned because the owners moved away, died without heirs or the heirs can't decide wether to sell or not, the gouvernment can't maintain them all. At least the labour costs of the rennovation is fairly reasonable in France. It's ridiculously high in the uk, and in italy it's cheaper but the workers don't know what they are doing.

That is so lively to hear! Sometimes we feel like we’ve been working on the chateau forever, but then we realize how we have barely put a dent in it 😳 We have so many new plans and as of now, we have renovations scheduled throughout next year. We can only imagine how it will look in a few years 🥰

@loud_hailer6240 Год назад

@@TheBeauChateau I cant even imagine the courage and spirit it takes to accept this challenge, just know that even trying is inspiring. But I can see it in my mind, its like time travel, having resident artists sharing their talents, the groups of people coming to learn about the garden, using the water areas, and all you are doing right now an amazing feat of infusing this place with life, its like generations working together, its the best of humanity when we come together for something bigger :)

Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18‭-‬21‭, ‬23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST.

Thanks for your candor. I recently purchased an 18th century maison de maitre in the south of France. I agree with everything you discussed. I have just obtained approval from the mairie, the local historic commission, and the monument historique for the restoration of several features on the exterior that were removed or destroyed. I'm very excited about relocating from the US and beginning a new chapter. Keep up the beautiful work you guys are doing. Cheers-

I’ve asked my Habibi to buy us a Château in France. He said it was very expensive to maintain, and they needed a lot of work, not to mention the taxes are extremely high because of the acres of land that come with a Château. He said he'd rather we travel the world, which we have already started. We are on a mission, looking for a beautiful villa in Italy with old-world charm on the Amalfi Coast, in Positano, and in the Cinque Terre. It's time for a change. Thank you for all the information. Your channel is very inspiring.✨

You guys are so forthcoming and honest. Thank you for sharing so many intimate parts of your day to day. You both embody what contemporary stewardship of these places is.

I find it a thing of providence that you studied about sustainable culivation and that your respective fathers' professions were house painting and stone masonry. Owning a chateau of this magnitude is a lifetime of learning in restoration, management, hospiality, production, gardening, archiving, etc. This Grande Damme of a chateau had been waiting for you both to arrive.

Very informative, thank you so much. My son has purchased in northern Italy, I will begin renovations in the spring after we get approvals from the municipality. I have a couple of friends that have homes in Bordeaux. I look forward to spending more time in France soon.

Great vlog! It so true. The costs are what you think and at least treble them. So rewarding but lots of work and anxiety. I wanted to buy in the late 90’s but decided to try a big Move to Australia. It’s been great, but still have to this day a love of doing why you and many I follow have done. Saying that! It’s been great watching all those I follow over the last 4-5 years to get an understanding of the reality is. I still want one. ❤️

I will never consider to buy a french chateau but i really like the architecture and to learn more about the building techniques used.

Have you thought of a wood heating system like the pethericks have, they have a chateau, and the wood usage is from there own woodland, only initial outlay. And your manpower cutting your sustainable forst down. You will need to also replant quick growing trees that you can use in 15 years.. Good luck. 👍

This is the best explanation of the costs of chateau life. The UK chateau renovation TV series make things look relatively idyllic in spite of the hard work. Some of the other YT owners are transparent about their costs, but the information is piecemeal. I have noticed that all the channels I watch are scrambling (more than usual) to afford heat this year. When you said "renovation costs an additional 1000/sq.m" above the purchase price - that's the kind of detail people really need! Also, French bureaucracy baffles US people: we don't see a Mayor = Planning Department here. The mindset needed to do big works is completely different from the States. Thanks for this!

We are so glad you found our video informative! We realized there were several other key points that we forgot to add in this video after we finished it, but we might mention more information in the future. Thank you for watching 😊
