Ash, you are the consummate story teller. It is not a common ability, but you have it in spades. Thanks for the story you’re telling us today. Please feel free to make another 60, or so, other episodes of the history behind La Lacelle. I’ll watch every single episode.

The French Riviera was already a well-known health tourism destination by the 1800s for lung & breathing disorders, but Menton became synonymous with TB recuperation after a British doctor wrote several papers & a book in the 1880s specifically about it being the perfect place to recuperate from tuberculosis. If you look at the records of the deaths of the 2 previous chateau owners who died in Menton they will probably mention TB or something similar (I only know about this as my PhD was on place-related health & wellbeing, and I remember reading about this, albeit many years ago!).

That is amazing information! Thanks to all who helped research and provide it to LaLacelle.❤ I love that the current owners want to know the history, respect the structure and the stages it went through, and are renovating carefully. Not many people have the renaissance skills of Ash, Tracy and Terry. Nor are there many able and dedicated to spending every day working on such an exciting project. Thank you for sharing your amazing dream with us!

I really think that this year, you ought to renovate/refurbish those two wrought iron "over hangs" on either side of that entrance, get them scrubbed off, cleaned up and painted and install the panels on it above....it will look so great when those are FINALLY done..and they also shield people from the elements when coming and going in and out! To know the history of your Chateau is amazing and I hope you keep uncovering even more!

History is my jam so this content is too. France has lost track of an astonishing amount of both its pre-Revolutionary history and in more recent times so I applaud any attempt to reconnect with the past history of the building and the people .

What an amazing history has Lalacelle....Versailles, Napoleon and all...😮😮😮thanks Lucy for all the 'digging' and thank you Ash and Terry for the sharing!

Ash, you did a wonderful job of telling the story but it would have been pretty cool to link in the past video where it showed you guys finding the burnt areas and also linking in where you were talking about the pretty wall and area with the stairway that is no longer there. I love hearing the history and by all means keep going.

Many went to the guillotine during the French revolution. Ohers supported Napoleon once he obtained power. France has a mixed history since 1815 with restorations and palace coups and finally a long lasting number of republics.

As incredible at your tireless restorations are, this research on the history and former owners of Lalacelle completes the story of your wonderful property. Thank you for all your efforts and sharing the stories with us.

I love that the history is coming out. I love knowing the people, history and all the personal happenings around this awesome place. Envious that you all are restoring, rebuilding this amazing place and returning it to a home.

It's no wonder the few wagon wheels you found are so big and the many grinding stones on the property. Where was the orchard? It would have been massive or apples were brought from all over the area?

Great piece of history. But I’m all goosy having just seen the ghostly face emerging from the cellar followed by the gray lady walking across the hallway. Spooky!
