At the Chateau, focuses on the restoration and celebration of Château Avensac, a listed French castle, designed in the late 18th century, and built in the beginning of the 19th century, on the ruins of the original 14th century Château.
In 2015 we began an adventure to own a French Chateau. It has been a long journey, and in September of 2021 we became the guardians of this incredible property that we now call home. I keep an ongoing record of the long road to Château ownership, as well as our continued restoration work on our website.

    Tony InLosAngeles Merry Christmas 🎄 Guys! Some heat in the house for the holidays 😂that’s awesome. No muddy backyard this year yea! Btw the geotextile fabric is not for weeds, it’s a barrier to keep separate the earth from bed and gravel layer; it also helps disperse load over a large area. You’ll still get weeds they will come from the top, seeds will land on of the gravel.

It was the paralyzation of my legs that put the brakes on everything, and we had already ordered and paid for the La Cornue... Sigh... On the other hand, the prices of the La Cornue have risen dramatically since we purchased and I suspect we got the better end of the deal. Thank you Mark
