That shredder attachment is a beast, seriously impressive and so good to watch him clearing the terraces from the aerial shots. What a lot of work achieved in such a short time, well worth the investment.

This is so very exciting! That massive digger chomping up those trees/roots was amazing to watch! How satisfying that all is to be one step closer to your life long dreams. You two are a joy to watch. Such enthusiasm and the knowledge that Marc delights in explaining everything. Love it. You definitely are soul mates and are a beautiful family!🥰🇨🇦

What a huge undertaking. Definately involved a villeage of field hands! In the future, when more areas are cleared and cultivation and wall building really need more hands involved, I think it's an good idea to consider Workaway projects. There are alot of people in the Workaway rotation witj specific skills and experience and lots more looking to make new ones, and simple room and board is all you need to offer. Also there's EU grants to apply for for workshop projects of agricultural nature that could be combined in those schemes. The same goes for certain restoration or builds. I have friends who bought a farm with an old derelict landmark mill, and consulting local resources and the municipality they created and ran a workshop project taught by professional restoration experts on the ancient types of building techniques, and got lots of funding from EU funds set aside for these types of projects that enrich rural areas. Today the mill is a local attraction, baroque concerts are held in summer, there's a small year round restaurant/cafe they run themselves, and it's leased for events as well. And lots of volunteers from everywhere came to learn different stages of the restoration and rebuild, living in simple rooms around the villeage, in barns and gites and big reclaimed military tents. They also had alot of fun hosting these enthusiasts. In a world of such detachement theres a movement going on for sharing knowlege and experience and making irl.

I loved how the digger revealed the terraces! Very exciting to think you can now plant vines and produce wine🍇

It was quite the revelation...

That was an amazing clearing job. I didn’t know diggers could do all those things. A thumbs up to the digger driver. He did a really neat job. It’s wonderful that you’re returning the vineyard back to its original state. It’s interesting hearing about the history of the vineyard. Thank you for another enjoyable video 🌳

That was really great fun! It will be very exciting to watch those bare terraces turn into vineyards. It is clear that Marc is very passionate about the land and its potential. Thanks to your videographer and whoever did the editing. 🇨🇦 💕

Thanks Judy. Adonis did the filming and editing. I’ve linked to his details in the description if you want to see more!

Wonderful to see you able to bring your dream of a vineyard into existence. Spring will be here in the blink of an eye allowing your vines to be finally planted. Congratulations! 🍾

Wow! Impressive! Good job driving the mechanical dinosaur you 3. Clement is adorable! And what a bright little thing! Mommy and Daddy were talking about manure and horses and he was following along with the conversation and worked out that cows make manure too and chimed into the conversation with the perfect comment. ❤️

I agree..I love how conscientious Marc is about potential hazards around the trees. He’s so respectful 👏

Wow! The historical records and maps confirmed! So cool.

There is something very satisfying in watching that shredder work. That guy is amazingly skilled! That rich soil looks fabulous from what we can see from the digger tracks. I have watched your channel from the very beginning. Watching g all of your struggles. Even the trying to decide whether you were actually going to continue with the videos and making hard decisions was interesting. I am so glad you hung in and that so many of us stayed to support you is a testimony to your dedication and faith that you want what’s best for your family and the land you have been put in custody of. Watching Clement and Juliet grow and change the way we have watched the Château de Rosiere change is amazing. I will keep watching and promoting you guys! Keep up the good work. I love that your numbers of subscribers is growing. I hope the ad revenue is helping! God Bless you four in this endeavor!

I'm a new subscriber living in WA state of USA. My 5 times great grandfather lived in the Limoges area back in the early 1400's. Wish I could visit the whole area but I stopped travelling a few years ago. I'm 78 now but still have travel in my blood. It's nice to watch your videos and feel closer to France through your Vlogs. Great to see the development of your estate and chateau. I will go back and binge watch from the start of your chateau purchase. Pretty exciting.

Very impressive what you have done and what a legacy for your children and family. Can't wait to see the vines going in. Well done!!

Really love you guys, there's you Amy dressed for the walk with your sturdy shoes and Marc still wearing his sandals no matter what ever he is doing. 😃

wow that digger made light work of that ,i have never seen a one that did that .I can see bonfire night as fun there

I had to come back and say that the smile on Marc’s face and excitement in his voice when he was talking about getting to drive the big digger made me happy for him. He was like a little boy in his excitement! Clement and Juliet will love seeing this in their dad in the future.

Very interesting to learn about the castle's history and see the old map and aerial view. The excavator really accomplished a lot! Good luck with your continued work. It will be interesting to follow the development of your project!

You're vids are so generous and warm as you are, of course. I'm running through all your vids like an addict to your joy! Bless you all.

My gosh that shredder is terrifying!

Oh WOW!!!!!! What an amazing machine!! I can't believe the amount of work that the digger was able to do. I'd give my eyeteeth to have that machine on my property for a couple of days!! And Marc, you looked as if Christmas had come early when you drove it! Amy, you're a star!! I'd be terrified to even try driving that! You're an inspiration!! Clement looked as if h was thoroughly enjoying his ride too! Can't wait to see those terraces all planted up with vines, such an amazing project. Youresatet is going to be an absolute showstopper in a few years, with all of the hard work and planning that you both put into it. Brilliant!!

How exciting. I am so glad that you are now able to start your vineyard project.

I have been following Marc and Amy for a long time now and some years ago Amy posted on Facebook about an alfresco meal they were enjoying with a bottle of champagne from Marc's family vineyard, I asked about the champagne and Amy let me know it is called Henroit. At the time we could buy it at Dan Murphy's....Marc is obviously experienced with the wine making. Wishing you all the best with the vines, everyone needs a different like the one you had working for you. Look at the view behind you as show us the quality of the soil Marc...fantastic.

It’s hard to fight Mother Nature, she is pretty determined to cover everything green. It’s a constant fight to keep the forest from taking back our yard. Good luck with keeping it clear. 🤞 whatever music was playing while Marc was in the big digger is one of the most popular the band played during parades when we were majorettes. Semper Fidelis maybe ?

It looks like an exciting project, I'm looking forward to this 😁 It seems wasteful to burn the Acacia? roots, could they have not provided habitat somewhere, but too big a job to move them now Antony? had such fine control of the excavator Pepper was loving it - a HUGE sandpit for her!

Acacia are fast growing and very, very invasive. If we don’t take them out they prevent other species from flourishing and that reduces biodiversity.
