My French Chateau Story - How I got here

Daphne and Ian have accepted a once in a lifetime opportunity, presented by her grandfather, to move from California to France in hopes to rebuild the many structures on this property and bring the land to its full potential.
This beautiful domain includes a 17th century chateau, with a 500-year-old medieval dungeon, hunters lodge, 18th century farmhouse, 28 horse stables, and a large forest with two lakes.
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 UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture, and a US Air Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist, we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have so much ahead of us, and we are excited to share the experience with you!

    You’ve got a lot of chateau junkies here that simply can’t get enough of channels like this. This chateau is jaw dropping gorgeous and the fact that we get to follow you on this new journey is amazing. You both are young so it will be fun to follow you as long as we can to watch the progression of your endeavor. I know your grandfather would be so proud of you both. Plus, you both look like a fairytale princess and prince befitting of such a beautiful place. 🥰❤️

    @ffructos at least 180k for the state (35% min) and that's not the worst part. You actually got to make sure you split in equal parts among your kids. So if you have spare savings and one kid it's doable, if you have 3 kids, your usually done and got to sell in order to do the split. Same goes for family companies such as wineries...

    Was not expecting to cry at 1 in the morning today. I'm sure your grandfather is surely proud and smiling upon all the hard work you've done to protect and restore this amazing historical place. Can't imagine how overwhelming it must feel to uproot your entire life for such a massive undertaking. It's already so lovely and I can't wait to see more restorations. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done if you haven't already. I'm sure it must've been harder than you've let on. Such a positive energy and outlook is inspiring! Much love and support!

I realize it’s really none of my business but I can’t help myself. Daphne your perseverance and determination while honoring your grandfather’s dream is truly awesome. You two make a lovely team. Love your channel and will continue to watch from PA, USA.

    You have a good location being only 30 mins to Paris. Your chateau has much more potential than some of the other chateau vloggers who have chateaux that are far too rural. You have great courage. Take it one day at a time. You r young and u will ‘grow’ with the chateau.

    For the past three years or so, I have been watching Chateau videos, but I had rather got to the ho hum stage. However I still watched Philip and Anna and the delightful Benoit, who is my fantasy date. And so it was that you were there when Benoit received his new equipment and Philip recommended your channel. I'm so pleased that he did, I've watched quite a few and it was a delight to stumble across your opening one. Like Philip and Anna, your approach is friendly and makes one feel invited into your lives.What a delight it is to see young people making a success of life, and your chateau is so lovely. I hope you've managed to pay off the inheritance tax by now.

    Fellow Californian here who helped her Dad renovate each house we lived in while searching for the next…this absolutely speaks to me on a DNA level, ha! ….God, if I were only 20 yrs younger, I’d literally toss it all in here and come help you pro bono just to have a hand in such a gloriously worthwhile protect! What a worthy use of one’s hours and heart (I found so many explorer vids during Covid and thought I’d lose my mind over WHY there weren’t people lined up at each to take them on like you are doing 😢). I applaud you guys, and will watch it all with awe (and probably frown a few times at why I’d think I wouldn’t be able to help with something like this 😅. Sigh)
