Thanks to our growing Patreon community, we are able to hire Benoit for more window work!
Patreon funding goes directly toward renovating the historical Chateau de Lesigny domain.
Special thanks to our dear Patrons: Andrea, Jesse, Bernadette, Theo, and Morgan for your outstanding support of this Beau Chateau!

Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, we install a water pump at the base of our dungeon. Daphne's granny, Jo, invites us to visit the French Riviera with her and her cat, Charlie. We join them on a drive from Paris, through Provence, and to the coast of Southern France. While we're there, we also look into a long-forgotten investment property that has been somewhat of a mystery up until now...
Our "beau chateau" (The 500-year-old, Chateau De Lesigny), is located near Paris, France. Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive! We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way!
As a French/American UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture (Daphne), and a U.S. Air Force Tactical Response Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist (Ian), we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have a long road ahead of us and we are excited to share the experience with you!
You can support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community, where you can also gain access to exclusive videos and behind the scene access with Daphne and Ian! All patron funding is used to renovate this historical French Chateau. Every patron is paramount to our chateau renovations and we thank you all tremendously!

“.Our greatest investment is time and how we decide to use it”. Wise words, Daphne.
Well, lots of us would love to spend it on the French riviera!
Sad that more ppl don’t realize how valuable time is…thank you great video!
I loved that quote too!
Dude - you have a GIFT for making and producing videos. Such a gorgeous road trip! I love that you got to spend time with your grandmother and those old photos were beautiful.
Thank you so much! We hope our videos will only improve over time as Ian learns more with videography and editing 😊
@@TheBeauChateau the Wes Anderson bit had me cackling!
The whole Beau Chateau Clan are joyful angels on earth.
Thank you for watching! Please let us know if you liked seeing us explore more of France like this episode. We will be back soon with more chateau renovations. See you all again soon 😊
Those views were breathtaking, and I loved your ending thoughts about out time and how we choose to spend it. So very true.
I love seeing more of France as I've only seen a small snippet myself. Whenever there's an opportunity (after your own vacation, of course) and you feel like filming, that would be super fun.
Seeing France through your eyes and your granny’s was the most beautiful I’ve ever seen before. And, she’s such a lovely woman. You favor her a lot too. BTW were your grandparents divorced?
I loved watching the entire video, just like all your videos. What beautiful places you took us to. Granny is to cute. So is her cat.
I didn’t want this to end! We’re traveling thru France next year and I’m taking notes,
Thank you Grandpa for taking such good care of your family. You are a hero.
The camera work, the music, the storytelling; it's perfect. I hope you enjoyed your vacation !
Thank you Marge (love the Simpsons)! We had a great vacation and Granny had lots of fun with us. Ian enjoyed putting this video together and making it something a little different for this week.
I felt like I was watching a documentary on your grandparents' lives. How beautifully shot and edited. I teared up a bit when your grandmother turned, and smiled at the camera with her hat on. She reminded me of my little Italian grandmother, and my heart clench at the memory of a favored person in my life. What a treasure this video will be in the future. Thank you all.
and how kindly they treated her with respect and love, apart from eating her cat
@@Motherhubbard170 😆Glad the cat was no worse for wear!
i teared up just reading your words.🥲 What a blessing, to have loved ones, and to be loved.
I love these road trips. This probably the only way I will ever see France. 💕
What a great video. A little chateau, a little sight seeing, and a great story. YES, YES, YES, do more travel videos. Ian, your editiing is the BEST!!!! combined with Daphnie's voice over or comentary, makes for very enjoyable watching.
Thank you so much! We will gladly show more of France when we get another chance to go exploring 😉
I have been so emotionally engaged in this video. The stunning views but what touched me the most was you and your Grandmother. To relive the past with her is priceless. You live a remarkable life. Thank you.
Guys please start a family ASAP !!
That chateau on they way South was lovely. So sad there isn't someone to care for it. What a place to enjoy a concert as well.
The pictures of your grandmother when she was younger really show how much you look like her, Daphne!
Beautiful video from a cinematic, historical, and personal story. "...our greatest investment is time and how we decide to use it...” Merci, Daphne.
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
You will never regret spending this wonderful time with your granny.... such wonderful memories and you have it all on film. Thank you for taking me with you as well as I shall never be able to visit those places. The filming and editing was par excellence !! Love those drone shots. You captured light so beautifully...sunsets, light on the water, light on the stone walls and shade in the day. Thank you so kindly.
Every step and word is breath taking
That was a touching episode not many have deep roots to love and share and many that do are tied up with just making a living when making a living is really the time we spend and offer to one another. God bless your granny and Godspeed to you all. 🙏
How wonderful your relationship is with your grandmother. My grandma was the most important person in my life growing up and when I lost her at 90 years old my heart was broken in places that will never heal. Watching you and your grandmother reminded me of how special that bond is and brought me to tears.
The filming was phenomenal!!!
I am in tears . The most beautiful video thus far . Thank so very much for the love you give to your Gorgeous Grandmother. And we all love Ian for not having made a snack out of Charlie.
Love from Canada
I agree- they hit a new high with this one.....fantastic to see!
Thank you for taking us along! The French Riviera is lovely! How wonderful to share this special time with your Grandmother!
How lucky you are Daphne, to have video of you and your Granny. Beautiful shots Ian.
Thank you Dorothy 😊
What a lovely time with your Granny. You are correct: time spent with loved ones is the most important thing.
I think this may be my favorite video you have done thus far. There will always be projects to finish at the chateau but time spent with aging loved ones -especially an adventure such as yours are priceless.
Magic episode! Content, filming and music.
Brings back so many memories. My husband passed earlier this year of dementia. We owned an apartment in Anncey for 20 years and travelled extensively throughout France and Italy while we were there. It was a wonderful experience. So enjoy your vlogs.
Oh for a time that is past and gone ne’er to return again. It is good to see you building and recording precious memories. This channel and “How to renovate a chateau show a way of life that is so sadly missing in much of the western world. Keep up the good work.
Your Grandma was so beautiful! Like a movie star! Still pretty today!
This episode literally brought tears to my eyes. Missing those magic moments with my grandparents. The filming was spectacular. Absolutely captivating work. So well done.
EXCELLENT.
I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. You produce exquisite videos, between the magnificent photography, music and your conversations with each other as well as descriptions of the places on your trip. Daphne’s lovely voice is so peaceful and Ian, you captured the beautiful relationship Daphne has with her Grandma. xx
Explore, learn, seek, experience variety, savor life and live well all your life.
Thanks so much for this lovely video. It captures the love you feel for your grandmother in a very touching way. YOU MADE ME CRY. Love it. And love being able to share your "journey". it is truly a gift to catch a glimpse into your life.
a beautiful and touching roadtrip with your grandmother, Daphne! And Ian, so glad you didn't eat Charlie. You deserve a bat cave.
I enjoy watching whatever y’all do. It’s a pleasure watching a treasure being lovingly restored. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful watching you and your Grandma's swim. Liz
Belated comment- Inwas delightful seeing your family together on a road trip, it is important to spend time with Grandma and this cannot be replaced. There are so many places to see in France, finding places that have less tourists would be great, Tours, LeMans, Angers or Brittany would be great- anyway thank you guys we love what you provide to us mere subscribers 👍🇫🇷🇦🇺✝️😇🙏
Your grandmother is so lovely! Beautiful video!
That was certainly an eyeful. Every moment was perfectly lovely. Ian, you're a great chateau owner, but you missed your calling as a movie maker. Wow. Stunning shots, and the editing is pitch-perfect. What a treat. Will definitely watch again.
Watching you both is like a beautiful love story,you are both amazing and your vlogs bring joy into my life.goodluck with your progress may your dreams be fulfilled
Thank you! That is so sweet of you to say 😊 We really appreciate you taking time to join us for our little video adventures! We hope you have a wonderful week!
The French Riviera is absolutely stunning. You’ve done a great job with this as always.
The production quality of these videos is outstanding. What a fabulous channel.
I loved watching you and Ian spending time with your grandma at the beach. The best moments in life it to spend it with your loved ones. Great memories at the beach beautiful. Can't wait until your next journey
Really great to see your Grand Mother. What a great video. Oh now i can't stop watching your videos.
Your grandmother is beautiful, you look a bit like her when she was young. Thanks for taking us along on your vacation, for some of us who will never travel to France, this video is such a nice visual experience. Making beautiful memories with your granny, a good thing.
Daphne and Ian I really loved this video listening to the history of your pappy and grammy. Such beautiful scenery on your trip, truly magical.
Your Granny is a treasure.
Every time I think that was the best episode! Then you blow me out off the water with a new even more epic episode! Dripping with succulent views and shimmering scenery. Your stories and graceful journey is a true honor to watch. Feeling blessed
What a beautiful story and exquisitely filmed... I loved your granny's comment that it was a 'different era and they lived it. They lived it really well!' What a time to be on the Riviera! I wonder how many well-known people they met, at that time, in that place. Thank you for sharing.
Your grandpere was a visionary. I'm sure at the time he had his fair share of critics.
That was lovely! So glad you took time to make special memories with your granny.🥰
Bonjour Daphane and Ian, this was such a beautiful video, thank you for bringing us along, and allowing us the pleasure of meeting Granny, what a beautiful and wise and funny woman. also thank you both for sharing your vacation. Much love from N.Y.
Such a beautifully touching video! Made me shed joyous tears! You two are truly gifted story tellers!
Omg your so lucky to still.have your granny. I'm 30 and have no family left. All passed on
That was an absolutely lovely episode!
I wholeheartedly agree!! I felt like I was right there on vacation with them and bummed I couldn't buy anything at that fabulous market. 😄
Speechless....amazing, poetic!
My cousin is there now. He posts every summer. It’s absolutely beautiful. I love history
They are in nice and rude to Monaco today. Just stunning
Thank you, wonderful trip down memory lane for Granny. Beautiful scenery, ancient sites and good company.🇨🇦❤️
What a beautiful family story Daphne! Thank you for taking us for a ride as well! So excited to see it and hear it. Hope you enjoyed your little break.
Absolutely beautiful and touching.
A romantic trip for the just married can be developed from your Chateau to this beautiful land in the South France. Very impressive
I also own unbuildable land in France (Normandy) and while frustrating, we should be grateful that France is preserving a lot of its natural habitat.
Delightful & profound, Daphne & Ian!

That was a particularly beautiful episode. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is one of the most beautiful vlogs you have done! Granny is beautiful and I enjoyed seeing the ancient, narrow streets.
Oh my goodness...you look so much like your youthful Grand-nere! Both beautiful!
Really love your channel. Thanks so much for the fun content, awesome filming and editing! Ian's filming skills can definitely film a movie! Thanks Dalph for sharing with us your family story too. Granny was and still stunning !💖Oh landscapes are great, so sad most chateau are now ruines though... Really missing Europe.
Thank you Joslin! 🥰 Granny is adorable and we were so glad to have some fun vacation time with her. Ian is always trying to improve his videography skills, so hopefully that will only continue to improve over time 😊
🥰👍 I am sure granny was enjoying too!
I have been following your channel since the beginning, Ian is surely improving and have potential haha. Also, am always glad to see how much the condition of the chateau has improved time to time. Really kudos to both of you for all the hard work. 💪
@@joslinw9187 Thank you for your continued support! Granny had a lot of fun! We hope to do another trip with her later this year. She watches our UA-cam channel too even though she doesn’t speak English 😅
No worries!
Granny is so supportive hahaha! 💖 Maybe she can feel the happy vibes through the film too, no language barrier can stop her love to you guys. Haha!
Looking forward and really hope more trips together came true!! ✨

I too love what your sweet voice said at the very end. Such wise wise counsel.
“We can’t predict the future. So it’s ok to take chances and let your success and failure guide you. But most of all be present to the experience because our greatest investment is time and how we choose to spend it. “
Beautiful country ❤
I had the same relationship with my grandmother. I am glad you know the treasure you have with her.
Guys, this was a stunning production and had so much heart! Love you!
