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.

It is beginning to look like a new build. Terry, Ash, and Tracy, I know the power washing is messy, but it makes a huge impact! That along with the beautiful garden. Ash, thank you for the garden update. Looking good. Paula, the gate is beautiful! So glad you and Rob are helping out. Rob, your sanding will make a huge difference in making the bedroom look like a million dollar restoration. I know we say it with every video, but we see everything coming together and that’s because of your dedication, planning and hard work. Seeing all the progress is a great motivator and gives you the energy to carry on. I can’t say it enough, great job!
Thanks so much Debbie 🥰🥰
I agree Debbie, Terry, Ash and Tracy are blessed to have these wonderful helpers.
🎉
😢😮🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I think all of us viewers are so excited to see the chateau completely cleaned. It's a huge undertaking to the Lalacelle team. Can't wait for the big reveal on open house day and the surprises you have in store for us. SO EXCITING!!!💪💪🏰
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I was really sad when they said they were going to "clean" the "patina" but it really does look amazing! She literally glows
You all bought an old delapitated chateau and turned it into an estate. Incredible! The tower cleaned is monumental alone. It is very exciting to see you all so proud of all you do.❤
Seems like the momentum is picking up... But you've all done so much in a few years.
1- the cottage for mom and dad, 2- the third flour flat, 3- guest suite, 4- massive outdoor relandscaping, lighting, entrances, 5- complete restoration of gates and drives and entrance walls, 6- reclaiming the formal garden and rebuilding collasped walls. Not to mention the caravans and parking areas, or the vegetable garden and chickens....
Whew. I would say you've all accomplished so much in such a short time. Kudos to the family and the visiting crews... SPECTACULAR !!!
Your mum is truly amazing, how on earth can she be at that height without a harness and working so hard. What a woman 🤗
She’s amazing 🥰🥰
What a wonderful journey you are taking us viewers on. I feel so connected to the Chateau and I live thousands of miles away. Thank you
Thanks Carol 🥰
Yes, it will be the only occasion to visit France, my ancestral country.
"THE LOCALS" must be giddy seeing the progress!! The progress must be the talk of the town!!❤
Oh My Goodness Tracy. I had my stomach up in my throat watching you clean. You are one brave woman. Super Mum!
😊 thank you
I really had no idea how you would ever be able to reach that little dormer that needs painting and was so pleased when I saw the scaffolding is set up to be able to paint it. Cleaning the tower is a massive job but it will make great difference and you can let out a sigh of relief. Beautiful job done on the gate Paula, smiled when I saw you tackling it. Thank you for today’s video 💗
Thanks so much 😊
Just love all you guys do.😊
You are so blessed to have help from Rob and Paula and family!!
We are 🥰🥰
One can almost hear that side of the chateau scream with joy that the tower is finally be8ing able to be done…erecting the scaffolding, bring up supplies, redoing the window way up sat the tippity top…and getting over any frights about heights!!! That alone would stop me cold. Much many congrats on you all being able to do that high stuff.
All of you are absolutely fearless to be up that high
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
It is amazing how much you all have accomplished in such a short time. I think back to your earliest videos where you weren’t even living in France, Terry. How your Mom’s house was renovated while you folks lived in campers. I hope that you all can remember how much you have achieved during your time in France. Wonderful!
Ash is such a great, enthusiastic spokesperson. He could probably sell ice to an eskimo ;)
Haha. Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Google search Ash. You might be surprised what you find.
All through this video I was thinking about how much I admire you three for getting up to such heights. I would be trembling or outright scared stiff. Kudos too to Paula and Rob for the wonderful work they’re doing. That this is such a group project is a great part of the appeal.
I have to comment again! I had to watch 3 times d/t diy interuptions home. The garden gate and grass are looking wonderful! I can't wait to see awnings repaired and painted ( I know it will be awhile) shutters repaired and going back up ( I hope you do) and all the lovely projects you have planned to bring this lovely grand old lady back to life. You are doing a fabulous job!
Awesome! Thank you! ☺️
Chateau is looking absolutely spectacular! So much getting done Paula and Rob are the BEST! Tracy is a brave woman. I could never get up that high 😂 Can’t wait to see all the surprises! It’s going to be a amazing showcase day❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Wow cleaning that tower is a huge job!! Everyone pitching in is a blessing 🎉🎉
Yes! Thank you! ☺️
I've said it before, and I'll say it again I absolutely love the Airial shots and especially since you have been recreating the walled garden, I really look forward to your videos ❤
I'm actually excited and proud for you guys and your opening day.
The Château looks fabulous 😊❤
Thanks Cheryl 🥰🥰
The chateau and garden is looking great ❤
Thanks Nelle 🥰
It’s all coming together. She’s sparkling like the grande lady she is. Down to the final week before the open house. Marvelous how much work is getting done. Anticipating the final reveal at the festivities. ❤️🏰
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
You guys are none stopping workers. The chateau is coming along nicely . Love so seeing your surprises.❤
Yea! My patience has paid off, the tower is getting power washed. I just love watching the process.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I, too, was wondering about the tower, but I refrained from asking.
Ash…. God love you guys. EVERYDAY! You lovely motivated and determined crew of at time many… have a mission to accomplish and it gets done amazing time. None of you have lost a second of drive and purpose in the Dream of tackling each and every room of your Chateau. It’s a pleasure to watch each and every video. Your Lady of the Chateau is bursting with Beauty each and everyday
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Tracy is wonder woman I’d be a quivering wreck up there. Paula’s done a fantastic job with her painting Can’t wait for the next visit. ❤❤👍🏴
Thanks Pauline. She is! 🥰🥰
It's getting better with each minute. What a tumultuous task! I'm so afraid of heights. What troopers you all are.🎉❤ Paula great job!!! Hello Rob!!!! Always good to see you both as well.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Yes, hello Rob and Paula. Thank you.
What a team! I can’t do heights…total respect!
As always, Terry and Tracy are on the scaffolding spraying and scrubbing. Paula the queen of gate painting and Ash shows the garden progress! So excited to see the next video! ❤
Great choice of colour for that gate, draws your eye to the garden furniture. Well done guys
Thanks so much! 🥰
Amazing progress!!! 🎶❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🎶
Thanks Kerry-Lynn 🥰🥰
It's looking amazing. I think Ash was up too high. We know he doesn't like heights! We need to see more of Rob and Paula. Hi Rob, hi Paula!
Cleaning the exterior looks massively gorgeous! Well done!
Thanks so much! 😊
Your mum is the best 😊❤
She’s amazing 🥰🥰

Haha. Thank you 🙏 ☺️
The view of the garden from the upper window is just spectacular!
Thanks Lindy
Miss de Lalacelle is gleaming with beauty with all of the love you'll give her. Once her shutters are up and you look at her, it will be like stepping back in time, Magnifique!
The difference between the dirty facades and the clean one is extraordinary. So good to see it clean.
What a difference you've made by cleaning the walls!!
(5/1) Teamwork...your teem is truly amazing. The "Old Goyle" is looking pretty spiffy!
Thanks Dale 🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle (team!)
Omg it looks amazing - I wish I could be at your open day - gate looks fantastic everyone needs a Paula 😊 you have all worked so hard your patreons will be proud of you ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
Can’t tell you how thrilled I am that the little window on the turret is getting its facelift!!! It’s all coming together beautifully ❤️
I agree wholeheartedly. Will give my OCD a rest! 😂
We all look forward to seeing your progress on this beautiful chateau
Whilst you’ve never stopped, having the open day has created a deadline for some of those jobs that needed doing but also needed a solution for how to do it. It’s all coming together so well, and I look forward to each video seeing the amazing progress. It’s looking fab! Well done team. Xx
Hells Bells Tracey, you are braver then me, no way would you get me up that tower. I commend you for your " can do " attitude
She’s an amazing lady 🥰🥰
I've said it before but again ... DemoMam is a superhero. Flotas like a butterfly, stings like a bee - especially on a dirty, lichen-encrusted wall.........
Haha. Thanks blazer 🥰
What a satisfying job that is ocd i have nothing but admiration for every single one of you ❤
Wow everything is looking great!!! Nice to see Paula and Rob. They both do great work. I can't believe how much you are getting done.
Rob is in the 401, Paula is painting rhe new/old gate, Tracy n Terry are cleaning the tower, lots getting done! I see more gravel! ??? And u have grass! !!! Can't wait to see what u have in store for us. Ash, I couldn't do the tower either. Terry n Tracy make it look easy tho., and was that Rob, at the beginning of the video, flying up that ladder?
Thanks Joyce 🥰
I am with you Ash, I wouldn’t go up the scaffolding either, I would be much more at home helping Paula paint the gate!!
Hello Darlings

I've been looking forward to this one
@@kathrynriggs2489 it looks amazing 😍😍
Brilliant! I'm so excited to see the surprises.
Thanks Maggie 🥰
Am I missing the safety harness for Tracey? She is precious and needs to be protected at all costs!!!
Also safety mask, needs to protect her lungs.
Yay! The château with the red tower looked like a pretty girl with a big red pimple on her nose. 😂
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Omg never catch me up there hell it was even hard to watch your Mom up there had to fast-forward lol, doing an awesome job all!!
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
So exciting. Everything coming together nicely
I'm sure you've been putting off cleaning the tower until it absolutely needed to be done, because nobody wanted to go waaaay up there. But you pulled up your big boy/girl socks and did it anyway. You guys are incredible, pushing on through each job, no matter how difficult, dirty or downright scary it is! Kudos to you all. But wow, she is looking incredible!
Love how you are fixing the place up but honestly think one of the best things you have done s be so supportive of the local school and through that the local community, Nobody can accuse you of swooping in and beng aloof and snooty. Its thrilling to see incomers doing their best to make the locals glad that they are there
Mams just st the top of the tower power hosing as you do. What a mam.❤
Bleach and Water spray mixture works great on outdoor stone then power wash. Absolutely extraordinary family,sweet pets, dedicated volunteers, such an inspiring UA-cam channel.
Incredible scaffolding job!I think you are all so incredibly fearless & hardworking!! An absolute labor of Love🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Thank you so much! ☺️
You guys are going to have the most spectacular open day!! It is looking so grand and lovely. So happy and proud for you!
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Lots of hard work on everyone's part. Love as always from County Durham xxx ❤
Thanks Glenys 🥰
Very excited to see the scaffolding on the tower! And now that little window will be painted and look like it belongs!! Way to go!!!
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Paula you have done a wonderful job on that gate it looks FANTASTIC 💕🇦🇺💕
Thank you so much! ☺️
Nice job Tracy and Terry it looks really clean and so much better, It all looking amazing if you go back to the very first time you showed the chateau and wow what a lot you all have achieved to look gob smacking,the hard work and dedication on bringing this unloved chateau to now A loved Chateau. Just BRAVO👏👏😘😘Of course not forgetting you ASH as well 😘
Thanks Annette 🥰🥰🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle ❤️❤️
I always thought it really strange how neglected property deteriorates far quicker than one that’s lived in even if no repairs are done to it . Hard work is paying off, it’s like taming the wild beast into a domesticated pet!
So much happening and everything looks brilliant. Isn't it amazing how much needs to get done when company is coming?
It is! 🥰😂
Having the tower done is going to look amazing. 🎉
Another wonderful job done! Hugs from Pennsylvania
I've been following your journey since lockdown. I got to say I feel so proud seeing the chateau come back to life as if I was a part of it 🫂. Thank you for these vedios. 🥰
OMG, What!!! Beautiful and just amazing.
So good to see Rob & Paula. Such amazing help!!
I had not noticed ... the trees in front are coming out beautifully!
Been following your family for two plus years .I enjoy your sense of purpose and dedication to your home
Thanks Lynne 🥰🥰🥰
Unbelievable what you guys (and friends and family) have achieved.
Tracy you are a trooper going up that high on scaffolding...I couldn't do it, nor could I do most of the jobs you do! Good to see Paula and Rob pitching in to help you all...great team! It's getting more and more exciting as the open house draws nearer!
Thanks Norma 🥰
Kudos to everyone, especially those up on the scaffolding! Take care!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Yes! Thank you! 🙏
Wow now the front will look so nice and fresh. Hope you do the onings next are you going to put color glass in the a nice green would look nice. Love 🥰 you guys and Mom and Dad too. And the dogs and 🐈 🐕 Allen in Michigan US.A.❤
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Open day is so exciting! I’d love to be there for open day someday 😍
I’m sure you will 🥰🥰
A joy to see Lady de Lalacelle.getting her face clean again! So wish I could be there for the open day. Perhaps next year. By the way, as an aside, the new count-down CGI you picked for this one is really cool!
Thanks Clay 🥰
Ash, I love your enthusiasm. You so deserve it.
Yay! I have itching to see the final pressure wash of that facade! [I hope you record the reactions of the visitors for us to see! I'm sure the locals are delighted.]
We will! 🥰🥰
It is so inspirational to see how hard y'all work. As I sit in my comfy chair with the a/c running....Truly, it's wonderful to see how much you have done and how good it looks.
Thank you so much! ☺️
YIPPEEE🎉🎉🎉❤
Tracey you're braver than me up that scaffold, there's nothing you can't do. Could do with a few more kickboards for safety 🥰
She’s an amazing lady!! 🥰🥰
What a big job!
Starting to look lovely. You never do anything in half measures. Always meticulous. I'm so pleased the grass is starting to show and the weather has been on your side. Have a nice weekend.x
Thanks so much 🥰
Cleaning the outside is so important for maintaining the pointing and doing repairs, the algae hides so much. Well done!! I've been waiting to see the tower finished, tomorrow will be so exciting!
