About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK and Escape to rural France to restore this beautiful building to its former glory.

I will never comment on what you haven’t done. Good grief - your to do list is longer than anything I can imagine. It’s your in progress list and the completed jobs that deserve comments. Everything you all do is spectacular, so watching the process is just pure pleasure.

Totally agree, They request comments not criticism or tell us what to do. Very generous sharing their lives and projects with us. Love It!
The stone is beautiful. I love the way Ash gets so excited. Be careful up there Terry. You are a brave soul!

Good job to all of you guys. Amazing work.
My personal feelings: I am trying to understand why people comment on when this or that will get done. Really? As if you don't know your own home? Do they think you will miss something? It will get done when you all have the time to get to it. You owe us no explanation; not even your patron members have a right to question why you still need to get to a project. It's your business when and how you prioritize the vast amount of work you have on your to-do list. You spend more time explaining yourselves and why you've not gotten to a project or complete something than any KZreadr I've watched. Your willingness to video your progress and post it for our entertainment is much appreciated. I get so much joy out of your excitement! Thank you again for letting us join you on this renovation journey!
FABULOUS and all done with restraint and historic detail. I will echo the comments saying ‘NO HARNESS ? “ Incredibly dangerous.

Terry dear, I hate to hear you feeling you have to explain and defend your choices about any kind of work on the chateau...I'm sure comments can be helpful, but criticisms can be so rude and annoying. Most of us just enjoy watching you spin your magic and wouldn't think it right to complain about any of your decisions and choices. Keep carrying on as you see fit😊😊You are a magic maker❤
Only 4 years and SO MUCH done ! You must be incredible proud ! Thank GOD for 'foreigners' for restoring so many French buildings and chateaux ! xoxoxo

Especially when some of those things have obvious reasons for being postponed! Sheesh. And you are so polite in addressing their outrageous comments. Well done, Terry.

Why doesn’t this channel have a millions subs? This restoration is amazing
A harness when you’re up that high! Adrian can teach you how-he always wears a harness on the roof. Also, once you do the awnings maybe make a mini-awning for Tracy’s house?
OhMyWord! Love the stonework. Top notch. There is no way I could get on scaffolding that high. I know people have jobs that require high work all of the time, and some people who enjoy rock/mountain climbing, but for the average person that's a super-human job. Nicely done Terry. I don't like negative comments, who are the @#$! complaining about what is not yet done (awnings)? Put up (the money or the time to do the work) or keep it to yourselves. sheesh.

I love that you put your mark on the stone with 2020 as your family absolutely rescued the Chateau Please show the dining room and fireplace again, it has been so long since we've seen it.

I have a couple of things to say, first to all of those people who are 'nagging' you about the work they see as should be completed, give it a rest. If you yourselves have ever done renovations you would have only an inkling at what a massive labour intensive job this is. I speak from experience and the reno jobs I have been involved in have been big but nowhere near the scope of this. Second, Terry, I thought I would throw up just looking at where you were doing the work on the dormer, my head is still spinning. Ash, your excitement is palpable and it is a diffident yes on the important of the stone with dates being placed. You ALL are amazing . Yes, blessed for sure.

Absolutely amazing that she's 300 years old 💛
Wonderful journey....thank you for taking us along!❤
No coincidence that we haven't seen Tracy; if I was your mother Terry I'd be down there with my rosary beads saying a novena that nothing happened to you! The plaque is a wonderful testimony all your hard work. That being said I wish you wouldn't be affected by viewer's comments. We're all bless to be able to have the ability to go on this journey with all of you. You should hear only praise from your viewer's; certainly not criticism. All those people setting on their assess or laying in their beds would never be able to do what You, Ash, Tracy; and the lovely family & friend's have accomplished these past years. I say Bravo and F××K the people who criticize. I think you all are simply awe-inspiring. Love you guy's! ❤
I absolutely love & admire your northern work ethic & determination to restore this magnificent chateau. Lots of love to you all from a Geordie fan. 👏👍❤️
Everything is looking absolutely beautiful, I was holding my breath watching Terry on the scaffolding, not many people would have done that. Please don't listen to foolish comments, all of you are working hard every day and look at all you have accomplished. I love watching your vision come to life!! Thank you for sharing, be safe.
How incredibly beautiful that stone is!!! And Terry's work, as always, is impeccable!!
The stonework is a masterpiece for you to express your joy at being able to restore this wonderful place. Can't wait to see the dormer finished. BRAVE Terry!!! I've heard it said you should keep a "ta done" list of things you have finished, instead of a "to do" list.

You are my most favourite chateau restoration channel and meticulously plan and carry out your restorations. I love it. You never ever need to justify what you do, when and why for me, just keep on keeping on the way YOU want to. For awhile I was binge watching and you were on my screen at breakfast, lunch and dinner time for days and days. Sadly, now I’m caught up on your videos, no more daily binge watching, so need to find another chateau restoration, but soooooo hang out for each new video of yours. Thank you so much for sharing your restoration, I so enjoy it.
I felt emotional when you gave short history. I love old buildings and have tremendous respect for those that refurbish them. Thank you. I’ve watched how hard you all have worked, it’s amazing. The stone looks amazing ❣️ The old girl is standing proud again ❣️ I’m sorry some people are so impatient.

It's strange that big jobs take less time than the fiddly little ones, but it's the little ones that stick out the most. Also the amount of work that involved in getting the scaffold up to just paint one window, is the reason for good work planning to spread the resource over many jobs. One fairly new airport I've used has an unfinished panel in the roof left when the scaffold was stripped out, but to get to it now will cost thousands. Enjoy every piece as you complete, you've all worked very hard so savor the moments and thanks for taking us along. Stay safe up there.
Terry is so courageous: not everyone could do this, in fact most all of us couldn't. I wish he was wearing a safely harness though. The beautiful new stone insert with the château's dates is the finishing touch to the tower restoration and cleaning. I am amazed every time by team Lalacelle. You are all a joy to follow 🏰💪💪👏👏❤️

Beautiful addition to the chateau, I got a bit choked up when I saw you added the date of your stewardship. You should be so proud of what you've done! Michael
The installation of the plaque was such an emotional recognition of the important landmarks in the life of the chateau. Really emotional! If buildings could only speak I’m sure it would express eternal gratitude for not only giving it new life, but honouring its past and instilling glory and love in its future. The chateau could not be more loved and cared for than with this family.
It looks amazing. Suits the chateau beautifully. Good choice. 🙏👏
It's gorgeous, what a craftsman he is, it's the perfect addition to the tower xx
