- For over 20 years of living in this area of France , none of us have ever seen such a natural disaster , the best word to describe it is the flood which destroyed everything in its path !
Torrential rain , thunderstorms , a 2nd lake at 1st and then a 3rd one ...
Muddy water falls ...
Landslides ...
Muddy waters in the kitchen ...
Water inundation ...
The beautiful blue pool turned into a muddy mess ...
Leaky roof :(
Destroyed roads and paths ...
Water getting in everywhere amongst many other things along with Edd wandering out in the stormy weather ....
This episode was a bit hard to edit as it showed us all the damage and aftermath after a massive storm ...
The amazing trailer was done by the lovely & talented brothers Billy & Michael @ThePethericks & @DoingItOurselvesOfficial x x x
This is part one , part 2 to follow next week ...
If you have any advice let us know in the comments x

Ed, you sure kept yourself calm and handled the situation with a positive attitude. You’re the hero for your family, good man.
Thank you so much Lucy. xx
Absolutely!
ED YOU ARE MY HERO , so cool and reasuring to your family , it make a big difference in a desaster situation . You are a wonderful family pray that you are all well now . Like you said so beautifully no body is hurt . Just hard work !!! WOW!
You’re a Saint Ed keeping everyone calm is all you can do in situations life this.
Ed & Anna I pray 🙏🏻 that all will be sorted out soon and that the little ones are okay🤗 Lot of hard work waiting for you but we all know you’re already on top of it 💪 and soon everything will be sparkly 🌟and bright 🤩Take care 😷
Poor Emma, she really didn’t understand what was going on. Well done Ed for recognizing how it affected your family and how hard you worked to return normality.
Thank you so much, Emma got back to normal quickly as did charles. xx
What a guy Ed is! He was so concerned about his family and not wanting them to worry. I found that so enduring and sweet how he took charge of the clean up. What a sweet man he is.
Little Charles protecting himself (instinctively) by wearing his duffle coat to school the next morning is a good thing, it shows his internal coping skills. Ed, how wonderful that you are so keenly aware of his distress and working to do what you can to relieve your child's stress! Your video demonstrates that no one has a 'perfect life' all of the time. Good job!
Edd, you've been rather a hero to me, but this was 2 yrs ago, it cements into place, your brilliance in design and workmanship, and here is proof beyond doubt that your level of dedicaton and care for not only your family, but for all those in the vicinity, and the depth of love to go that extra special bit further to comfort to Anna, Emma, and Charles 😢❤ AND the chickens! Yep, that is what a hero looks like ❤️❤️
“It’s mud on your toes that does it for me”. 😂🤣 Good job keeping your humor, Ed. Sorry you all went through this. Great job being a wonderful & protective father too! Thanks to you and Anna for geting the place all cleaned up and ready for our (renewal) wedding! 😍 We’ve definitely decided this is where we want it. 🕊🕊 Wishing you all the best and so thankful you’re all okay!
It's beautiful to see how calm you remained through out your 'natural disaster'.
Ed and Anna- l can only imagine how difficult and emotional this has been for you all. Bless you Ed for addressing all the effected areas to make your family feel secure again ❤️ You can tell the measure of a person by how they respond to trials- you both have my deepest respect.
Thank you so much Kerry. xx
God and your friends, family and patrons will help. What a horrendous experience. My heart breaks for you all.
Oh, it broke my heart to see Emma crying when she saw her table and chairs outside! Poor Charles, too!. Thank you, Ed, for doing the hard work to ease the trauma for the rest of the family! This was very scary for all of you! I'm glad that it wasn't worse than it is. This is bad enough. Hope you are able to get everything sorted out. Bless you!
Thank you so much for your kind words and wishes Kathy. xx
All the best for the cleaning up operation Edd and Anna. I really feel for you guys..💝😘🙏
Kudos for your calm attitudes in the midst of a disaster! I hope that all turns out well. Many blessings.
Anna and the children are sooo blessed to have you Ed. You are strong for your family and in the same time with a big heart when needed. I'm very happy all is well. God bless you and your family always. Be safe.
Love Ed’s determination to put everything right before Charles returned from school. Love also taking everything in your stride and staying positive.
Any area with a down slope will take the water away and do destruction. That WATERFALL OFF THAT RIDGE OF WAS AMAZING!
oh gosh seeing little Emma panic about her little white table and chairs broke my heart....she sure does have her daddy's eyes....bless her little heart.
Ed is a true Dad out saving the Chateau in his bathrobe. When I saw that I was right there with him thinking how to protect Anna and the kids. Oh and the chateau . Lol
Good guy for a good woman !
Much respect to you Ed for being a super dad and husband for doing your best to make your family feel safe and secure. Little Emma touched my heart when she picked up her chair . Praying for you all during this time if repairs. Very good in getting the kitchen cleaned up and Emma’s laughter says it all.
Love to you all. ❤️🙏🙏
Poor Charles bless his heart being such a brave boy, I am sure it was a little scary for all of you. Bless Ed for taking such good care of his family and getting things back to normal as soon as he could. I hope everyone in the village were ok.💖😊💖
Thank you Shawn Everyone was fine in the village. xx
Anna & Ed! Praise God it wasn't worse! As deep and fast as the water was running, Ed could have been washed away! We live in Texas, unfortunately, we know about flooding. Praying for yall!
Ed, you are a loving man, caring for your family first during this. The amount of water was frightening. Thankful you are all OK, and it drained away rapidly. Sunshine after rain is a blessing.
Sometimes bridges and roads just suddenly wash away so it scared me for Edd when he was stepping down into that hole! So sorry this happened to you guys and your gorgeous property!
Thank you so much Stacey we are slowly getting back to normal here. xx
You have a good point Stacy about Ed stepping down into the hole. Here in Australia we have flash flooding all the time (mainly creeks/rivers bursting their banks). We have grown up knowing never to enter rushing water because you don’t know the depth and debris. So easy to be swept away and trapped/injured with debris. However Ed you were very careful and you weren’t entering a real creek or river, just one temporary watercourse. Well done keeping your cool assessing the damage to your vast property, and your calm and positive approach to cleaning up. Anna to be commended for helping the children cope with this unprecedented storm/flood experience. Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🥰
A dad and husband who adore his little family getting everything back to normal asap to put normality back into their lives, well done edd .👏🏼👏🏼🙌
I've just watched the trailer to tonight's vlog, to say l was horrified at the sheer velocity of water is an understatement. So glad Ed and Anna you and your lovely family are all safe! 🤭😲😢X
Thank you so much Diane, we have had a hard don't know how many days!!! but we are getting there with the clear up, yes most importantly we are all safe and well xx
I would have been completely freaking out so I can only say well done Edd for keeping your cool! Poor Charles, I don't blame him for being so scared xx
Ahhhhhhh dad you did sooooo good for your sweet family.. calm and cool... you dug right in and righted the ship to make everyone feel safe and sound.. good job dad...
OMG!! Mother nature is certainly taking her toll....No deaths Thank God....Everything else can be repaired/replaced...God Bless your family!!
You are amazing, Edd! Poor Charles… so thankful that you are his dad and have his best interest at heart. 🥰 So sorry this has happened to you. You’ve handled it so well!
I’m so sorry to see the devastation of your beautiful land, but I’m relieved to hear that everyone is safe. Edd and Anna, you are amazing. Edd, thinking of your family’s feelings and the effect it was having on them, as well as your concern for the village. Knowing that getting home as back to normal as possible would ease their concern and fears. 💕 Anna, your calm and soothing voice while talking to Emma, I’m sure kept her feeling calm and safe. Even taking a moment to show us the beauty of the roses, even the white roses were still gorgeous. I’m hoping that this does not set you back much further after this damn pandemic. Much love and best wishes to you from Southern California. 🌞
Despite how horrifying this is, the two of you are maintaining such a positive attitude. I so admire your ability to rise above the fear of serious damage to the chateau itself, let alone the gardens. Fingers crossed. Blessings from Canada.
Thank you so much Kathleen. We are getting there now. xx
I was crying watching this. Ed you are an amazing father and husband, you take your responsibility to protect your family so to heart. Anna and you make a wonderful couple and parents. All the best guys. Love from South Africa.
You are a great dad & family. Your son will be ok-nobody was hurt & that is a blessing. Messes happen sometimes & you all work together to clean up & move ahead! 🥰
It's good that your kitchen cabinets are up off the floor! What a beast of a storm. Glad everything is repairable! Emma was so cute carrying her chair!
Edd is really quite a lot of fun in a crisis especially when he stopped to appreciate the new waterfalls. Mon dieu, indeed, as Anna kept saying. This is the most interesting chateau vlog I've ever seen, from any chateau. I'm sorry you've had such a deluge to deal with.
Thank you so much Elizabeth. xx
I love the way your families feelings of safety are #1 on your list of concerns . What a guy !
Take note of the water flows to build methods to divert the water to where it will do less damage.
Oh my goodness that is just terrible. Well done Ed for being out in all that water. So pleased you are all safe.
When we had a flood in our shop which was full of material and timber, the insurer advised us to hire a dehumidifier which turned out to be a marvellous machine. I reckon it could help in Charles’ bedroom and possible even the kitchen where water may have entered into the fabric of the building. We now keep one by permanently and find it useful for all sorts of wet dramas! All good wishes to you all for recovery.
Oh my goodness, your beautiful Chateau! 😲 Devastating. I can’t imagine what it must have been like Anna & Edd ☹️ Thank goodness you’re all safe🙏
Wish I could help 😕
Yes 😢 see you tonight at the premier Helen 😘
Oh my goodness! Water is a terrible thing when out of control. Well done Ed for keeping your head and Anna filming in Shocking conditions. As you said Ed no one was hurt.
I started watching this video, had to do something and came back to it. My heart goes out to you guys!!!! I live in Spring, Texas, just north of Houston. Several years ago we had a hurricane just sit above us for 3 whole days! Never in my life of living with such storms has that ever happened. The flooding was horrendous. I felt all your fears and frustration!!!! I am so very thankful for the good people in the world and that you are a part of that goodness. Thank you for sharing your light with us. Especially in the dark times. Prayers for you all!!!
I live bordering a marshland and our cellar floods. My advice would be to get floor fans to dry the floors after the water has been removed. Don't want to have mold. Also, if you think it might happen again, sands bags in front of the doors may be a help. Good luck with your clean up. Also be very careful walking in a flooded area, be aware of electric cords as water is a conductor.
That's a good thing to think about. 🤔
What a nightmare! Hats off to you Ed for your calm and practical approach to the situation. I hope that in the light of day the damage everywhere wasn't too bad.
You show the reality of life you have to deal with. It is not all roses and sunshine. Take care you are amazing family and will get through this crazy weather the world is having!
Wow. I like your attitude Edd. I would be running around like a headless chicken. Glad everyone is safe
Ed, you are a giant among husbands and fathers. So caring and helpful.
Oh Ed, how awful. You did a good job, easing your family's worries, cleaning up. You have a great attitude. Such a sweet family.
Thank you so much Dianne. xx
Very, very scary. Glad everyone was aliright.
Ed you are a wonderful father and husband doing all the work to make life more normal I admire you in protecting your family from that awful storm. Take care look forward to the next vlog. Hope Charles and Emma are ok now love to you all.
God Bless you and your loved ones.
I am thankful you are all safe.
Thank you so much Peggy xx
So frightening! We know here in the U.S. with hurricanes. Water can be so destructive. Edd to the rescue!
Oh my goodness! What a devastating storm for you and your family and the Chateaux! I wish I could be there to help clean up, especially Anna's kitchen.😢I hope the wine cellar cave wasn't damaged too much! Im glad you are all ok. Sending prayers🙏
Thank you so much for your concern Valerie, we are all healthy and well, of all places the wine cave was the place to be!!!! It was unbelievably untouched!!!! See you tonight on the premier. xx
Wow thats a lot of water please be careful sorry about all the cleanup thanks for showing us prayers for all
Charles may need to talk about the flooding so he can process his feelings. Its a trauma he has experienced and it can affect him into adulthood. So glad everyone is physically safe and only the kitchens were flooded. Roofs can be repaired as can the road. Happy to hear the town was not affected by the flooding.
Sweet child what a gentleman the perfect kind concerned helping husband a true gem. From this surprise from mother earth you surly learned to have sand bags to put in the door front of a flood path unknown before. All are safe the best of life has been blessed. Best wishes with good tidings is sent.
So sorry Ed and Anna regarding the storm you just had that would be devastating after all that beautiful work you did.
We all needed to see this dose of reality, I'm very grateful your all safe. With such beauty comes natures own will and boy does she have a way of letting us know who's really in charge.
Well, that sure stinks. Sorry that the kids were scared and you now have so much extra work. Glad that there was not too much major damage.
I am so sorry to see the devastation the flood has caused. It was only recently I was watching your beautiful chateaux on Stephanie's channel. I wish you all well and thinking of you.
I heartily agree with so many of the comments already posted, that despite the shock of witnessing the storm and all the damage it caused, you both handled it with such strength of character. You are a total gem, Ed. Your sensitivity towards Charles in particular brought me close to tears and it was only your humour that stemmed the tide (sorry for the water reference!). And bless your sweet little muddy toes, Anna!...❤️
Devastating!!! You guys are so resilient and vlogging at the same time. Hope Charles recovers quickly and is back to normal soon. A frightening experience for all of you. Take care. xx
We had horrible flooding here in some areas around here, followed by fires, which one destroyed an entire town. The devastation continues for those people to this day. The flooding destroyed farms and livestock. It was also the hottest summer that we lost 700 people alone in Vancouver.
Poor little Emma crying over her table and chairs broke my heart and to hear how Charles reacted from fear also broke my heart. Thank goodness it wasn't any worse than it was for you. I don't know how anyone can make a contingency plan for the future if this reoccur. All you can do is stay on the higher ground and pray.
So glad y'all are safe, and not to much damage. Great job cleaning the kitchen floor !!
Omg! I'm so sorry for all of you. I admire your courage and fortitude during this crisis. You will prevail.
Oh my goodness guys! What a huge amount of rain. It’s just amazing how around the world we have had so much rain. Pray not too much damage and any one hurt.
Wow! The poor pathway! When Ed stepped into the hole to show how deep it is I was shocked. You really must have had a deluge to create such a mess. I'm glad you are all okay and have truly weathered the storm.
Way to go Ed!!!!!!!
Ed you are so positive in your attitude. I admire that ability. What a horrible disaster to deal with. I was relieved to hear the village was spared. You’re a good man to keep your family calm and reassured, I love you to bits for this.
Thank you so much Lois. xx
How absolutely stressful. Edd you are channeling your inner Stephanie running around property vlogging in your dressing gown!!!! The only blessing is that you didn't have a chateau full of wedding guests
Oh Anna & Ed, my hugs for you. Glad everyone is alright. Sorry I will write a lot. Just want to help you with watery condition. I can understand your worries & the aftermath bcos I had experiences with unpredicted wheater too in my family retreat home, in multiple times. It was also in the valley with more terasering landscape & stairs, & river on the bottom. For outdoor, check for the soil for the erosion on all the water pathways, especially for the solidity around the buildings & stone stairs. For the wood materials, especially for doors/cabinet, check for perhaps the slightly expansion near the edge. I used the warm-air (not the hot one, the middle one, I don't know what the words in english) on my hair drier to prevent further water capilarity into the wood. Give enough air circulation to prevent moisture on you furniture. Well, I hope it could help you. Also please check your tile roof if it was too windy, sometimes they slide ❤ from across the globe
Thank you for all your advice and thought Maria, 7 days on and everything is nearly dry, and outside things are almost cleared up apart from the back road near the terraces. xx
Es what a great Das and husband you are. Keeping your family safe and in good spirits
Anna and Ed - so sorry about the flooding. Ed you were the hero of the family by cleaning it up before Charles came home! What a great father and husband! Good luck to you guys!
So sorry for all the extra work that you have to endure , its marvellous how you " take it o the chin " and just get on with things ! You are marvellous ! Such hard workers my heart goes out to you .
Thank you so much Elaine xx
I am so, so sorry for the catastrophe this storm wreaked on your beautiful home and livelihood. My heart goes out to you.
So glad that you are on the positive side Ed. One can only move ahead and clean up the mess. So sorry Anna and Ed that your children are disturbed by this, stay strong and positive for them. Sending love and positive vibes to your family.
I am so glad you all recovered from this disaster 😮 I am absolutely shocked by the amount of water you had xxxx
Bless you Ed
Oh no… as long as you are all safe.. Hoping your neighbours are too.
Susan everyone is safe thank you and thats the main thing.xx
My husband always says to me when he forgets something... it wasn't my fault you distracted me with your beauty... so funny to hear Ed say something similar!!
I mean. That's a legitimate reason. Stop being so distractingly beautiful.
Hope all gets back to normal. Bless for your hard work, positive attitude and beauty in the garden. And the little angel inspecting everything. Courage and best of luck.
I'm so very sorry this happened, but I love seeing the genuine care and concern Ed and Anna have for making their children feel safe and secure. It's so important for their long-term health. When parents are supportive and caring during a crisis, it helps them build resilience. Very well done, Ed and Anna!
Hi Edd & Anna, first off Edd what a wonderful man you are, recognizing...staying calm and just getting on with it to make sure your family is taken care of and feels safe! Poor Emma, when she saw her table, that just broke my heart and poor Charles, hope they are both feeling better! One thing with children they are usually very resilient and your children have such loving, caring parents. I'm so sorry you guys had to go through this, thank goodness everyone is safe! Loved the bit...Anna distracted you Edd, coming in looking all hot! Thank you for sharing...take really good care of yourselves, stay & keep safe! Sending warm hugs to you all! Much love Kathy x 💖🥰
Oh my word how horrendous for you all. Edd the way you tackled the situation has my respect,calm and thinking of others trying to be positive. Anna you are great team calming Emma and also staying calm. Hope Charles is happier when he arrives home and sees things nearly back to normal. You are all safe that is the main.👍🥰🥰

Hi Edd and Anna, I'm so glad that you are all ok and hope that the storm will soon be a faded memory for Charles and Emma. Take care, best wishes to you.
So sorry this happened. You are both amazing people and so inspiring. Anna… you have the kindest most gentle nature and I’ve learnt a lot from watching how you positively talk to people. You’re also such a lovely dedicated Mummy… the moments you show with your babies are very precious ❤
My heart goes out to you all, sending love and hugs 🙏🏻
Ed your loving attitude toward taking care of the things your whole family find most important to each of them it wonderful! To think that they will in many years get to look bad at this vlog and see how you responded to the situation and see your focus was on them is a priceless treasure for the future. Praying for many blessings to head to your family in the near future. Anna I love your cheerful attitude in all twists and turns that life gives you. All of these gifts you are giving to your sweet family.
Wow 😯
As a part of this wonderful community here , I’m sure if a Go fund me page would be set up we all would love to help. Every week we have been watching you work so hard maintaining such a stunningly beautiful Chateau. I’m so sorry that nature has been so disruptive, as for insurance companies well the less said the better. 😘
Thank you so much Jason, we will look into it this weekend and will come back to everyone next week. xx
Sorry for all the upheaval and work. Both of you counting your blessings, regardless. Anna: "At least the sun is out and we do have blue skies".
Oh my goodness! What a devastating storm! I am glad that you are all ok. Take care !
I’m so sorry for you all! How scary knowing all you can do is watch it happen, definitely natural disaster. I pray you guys and all the people in your area recover.
Thank you so much Kathy xx
So very sad, but thankful that the Chateau seems to be largely unscathed & that you are all safe. Sending love & prayers
Thank you so much Michelle xx
Ed your a good guy very intuitive to your families distress and I'm so glad things were not worse.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you got on your way quickly with repairs. Hopefully you were able to fill the washed out holes with larger stones. I got to know the grounds better with the flooding tour. … Love your kitty. I had to say goodbye recently to my 19-year-old black kitty Pietro and his love 17.5-year-old calico Noelle. They were always entwined and cheek-to-cheek. I still have a few rescued kitties.
So happy to see you are safe and well. thinking of you all
