Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, Ian continues cleaning our moat walls and we manage to restore our vintage chateau shutters. We visit Benoit and Philipp in Normandy to see the new atelier tools!For Daphne's birthday, we had a little fun making a Wes Anderson clip (We hope you get the references).
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!

I loved the Wes Anderson bit SO. MUCH. Truly golden. Happy birthday Daphne!
Thank you 🥰
Near death with a Centipede, Benoit being so humble with such an awesome community response and that Wes Andersen technique was epic. Great episode guys.
Thank you! We weren’t sure if anyone would like the Wes Anderson throwback but we had fun making it 😊
That Wes Anderson skit was genius! Happy birthday, Daphne!
What makes Benoit so cool is he is humble, so glad for the go fund me page. Many happy sawing days to him and Vincent. Have a great bday Daphne!
OMG, this episode was hysterical. I can't stop smiling. From your dog's head popping up over the wall looking for Ian as he cleaned the moat wall to the epic Wes Anderson skit. GREAT editing. And on the serious side, nice to see all the good news with Benoit.
You guys are now my favorite channel above all other chateau channels. There's just something about your humor. Happy BDay Daphne.
Wonderful to see Benoit so excited with his new machines. He was like a kid in a candy store.
It really is impressive that just the TWO of you not only run the chateau business, but ALSO keep up with regular chores like mowing grass, AND push forward with renovation projects like staining the shutters. Bravo! (BTW-- The shutters look fantastic!)
And videos! and Patreon.
"But I did have a small trebuchet as a child" 😂😂😂
Happy birthday, Daphne
That statement is 100% true 😆
Ian, check twice with some experts. I think there is a danger that the old stones will crack if you apply the intense heat of a flame thrower. You guys have perhaps the most beautiful chateau being repaired right now on UA-cam. Of course, tastes are personal and each sees beauty according to his DNA, but mine really resonates when viewing the contrast between the reddish bricks and the lighter-colored stones. Also, your restored inner rooms are well color-coordinated and the chapel is a jewel as it is. You are a joy to watch: two young beauties so full of life, health, and optimism. Tanto amore dagli Stati Uniti/Tant d'amour des USA
Thank you very much! Ian found an electric weed burner that he will try in certain areas and it is less intense than the torches he found. We know that chemical treatment is not an option due to the moat being full of fish and we like our water clean, so hopefully burning the weeds is a safe option. We will make sure to protect the moat at all costs 👍
maybe an acetylene torch,
Great!
Productivity is not a random occurrence; it is always the outcome of meticulous planning, unwavering commitment, and persistent effort. I express my gratitude to my mentor, Mr. Eric Yuval Brokman, whose guidance has played a crucial role in establishing a solid financial foundation for me, resulting in weekly earnings ranging from $10,000 to $25,000.
Your method is accurate and demonstrates that you have a lot of expertise; it is critical to work with a professional while investing, especially as a newbie; this is why I also work with Mr Eric Yuval
@@abbyparker_ Working with specialists like Mr Eric in any pitch will likely result in improvements and profits
@@Mariohan706 agreed !!!
How do I begin investing in the cryptocurrency markets? I had previously read about Mr brokman. I am a complete newcomer to this.
@@hanssolo708 Mr Eric Yuval Brokman
I am so here for the euphoric 80s music😂👌🏽
Now we’re talkin 😉
You guys channelling your inner Wes Anderson was brilliant!
The stain on your indoor shutters looks amazing! nice colour!
Thank you! It is called Teck and we will be using it to retain the front door soon 😉
@@TheBeauChateau I'm sure the drapes were safe from the stain, but I was absolutely sweating while watching LOL
You two have made such a difference on all you've touched it seems like BUT you do it with fun and even the hard stuff keeps an air of fun! Blessings to you both & THANK YOU for sharing!!!
im so happy for Benoit, not only with his new equipment, but now he has someone to help him out especially in case of emergencies. AND OMG THAT BONUS BDAY CLIP IS A CHERRY ON TOP I LOVE IT SO MUCH. it was a pure genuis
You know you're the target audience when:
8:34 Benoit!
11:48 Yesss. You captured the Wessence perfectly!
3:29 Doggo of the Chateau, best doggo-ing
4:20 Keanu of the Chateau, Keanuing
6:06 I want that sander
Bon anniversaire, Daphne!
Fantastic! 😆👍
Ditto 😂
Happy Birthday, Daphne!🎉🎊🎈🎁
Happy Birthday Daphne.
Happy belated Daphné! 🎈 Good to see Benoît with his new toys. Seems like a nice community of friends over there.
The smile on Benoit's face says it all. I'm so happy to have been a small part of this gift. LOVE the Wes Anderson inspired birthday. 😃 Bon anniversaries Daphne-
Happy birthday Daphne 🎉
Adorable as always! Love the Wes Anderson nod, happy birthday Daphne!!
Of course,
the dog has the best life at the beau château😊
Great vid. I applauded twice during the Wes Anderson bit like I was at a premier! We loved it! Add Benoit and it’s the bestest video ever!!!
Love the Wes Anderson bit! The Chateau has so much symmetry, it’s perfect for a Wes Anderson film. Here’s hoping that Wes Anderson sees this and books it for an upcoming film location! 🤞
I am very glad that Ian found a way to be more comfortable, make the job easier (although it's still not easy,) and to be safer.
Happy Hatching Day, Daphne! Thanks for the giggles, hope you had a fabulous day xxx
The Wes Anderson bit was perfect!! And a Star Wars shout out, too? So good!
2:03 In Australia we call that a 'wheelie bin.' Well done to Ian for cleaning up that part of the garden 👏
The show Bluey has made “wheelie bin” a popular thing for US kids now lol
And don’t forget the ‘bin chickens’, otherwise known as sacred ibis birds! 🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺😁
Clever fix for the ivy debris. Love it! So happy for Benoit! Happy belated birthday!
Bahahahahaha ode to Wes is génial! Joyeu jour de GÂTEAU!!!
Fun, Fun, Fun! Episode. Glad no person or useful extremity was sacrificed in the making of..... 🙂Merci!!
Happy Birthday Daphne, many returns of the day. 🎉
"Happy Birthday Daphne"
May I suggest using a Wood Conditioner before you stain the old wood next time. It goes on easily, is clear and dries fast. Seals the wood evenly so the stain applies easily, evenly and more quickly because you don't end up wasting stain to soak in the dry spots.
I freaking LOVE the Wes Anderson part. I'm a fan of his work. Happy Belated Birthday Daphne!
Happy Birthday Daphne!! Benoit, I am so happy for you, you are healing and enthusiastic for your new and safer equipment. You've gone through a lot and maintaining your enthusiasm for your craft and positivity is why we all love you!! Thank you Daphne, Ian, Phillipp and Anna for all you've done for Benoit!
Happy birthday, Daphne! It's so good to see Benoit enjoying his new equipment. Thank you for helping him!
So happy Benoit has taken ownership of his new equipment. Happy belated birthday Daphne!🎂
Wes Anderson technique was so genius! 🙌🙌
I hit "comment" before I was done...sorry. Stephanie at Chateau Diaries has a flame torch and uses it on her moat walls and her stone driveways and it appears to work really well. Just a thought.. I love the camaraderie between you, Benoit and Phillipp..it's great! So happy for Benoit with all that you all that you did and am so happy that he now has someone working with him...wonderful! Thank you for your great videos.
The absolute BEST Wes Anderson birthday! You guys are adorable! Your channel has become my FAVORITE chateau channel. Benoit is the most wonderful, adorable, sweet, kind, funny man . . . EVER! Thank you so much for your love, skill, humor, and kindness. It is quite contagious.And, the trash can idea is genius.
So joyful to see Benoit, he truly is adored by many people all from around the world....Happy Hippy Hoppity Birthday Daphne.
Beutiful young couple working together enjoying each others company... so wholesome. X
Even though the trash can has wheels, might you also consider lowering and hoisting it with the tractor? It may help you avoid a potential lifting injury!
A winch?
I am so excited to see your channel. I am in North Carolina but I am from Ft.Lauderdale. I have always known fromm mother I am English, Irish and German. I found out thanx to 23 and me. I have family in England and Ireland that my cousins are in contact with. I'm still learning about my family's history. I am excited. I love you guy's channel. I love history and the chateau
Ok, this is just awesome. I was smiling the whole way through...ok maybe not at the part with the close-face encounter with the centipede. (EAK! NO! EWW! BLAH! GACK!...in that order) Other than that, I love watching you two do what you do, together. Work together, clown around together, and genuinely enjoy each other's company through the trials and tribulations of bringing the chateau back to life. Y'all are going strong together and my sincerest wish is that y'all continue to do so. Thank you for another great episode. Here's to many more!
It’s official. You guys were born to do this. By far the best produced and cutest… and did I say the best produced château video series out there? I was away for a couple weeks on vacation and I’m so glad to see you guys!
😂😂😂😂 brilliant
Happy birthday daphne xx
So glad benoit lives his knee toy 🥰🥰
Archaea sleeping through the whole staining process... 😍I love when my dogs are content just being in the same room I'm in.
Greetings from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Happy Birthday to Daphne, and three cheers for Benoit! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂💐💐💐
The end bit was so The Grand Budapest Hotel! Loved it. Happy Birthday Daph. Happy woodworking Benoit
Love the Wes Anderson throwback!
Happy happy birthday Daphne 🥳 best wishes 🎉🎊
The Wes Anderson bit was amazing!!!
I love that the Beau Chateau has been in your family and that you are restoring it. So many stories and history to preserve and restore. When I studied at University of Oxford, New College, I had an architectural history class where we would investigate the history of estate homes. It was a great experience and wonderful to see how you are restoring history. All the best. Dr. D.
Happy Birthday!!! Wonderful to see Benoit so happy and his dreams come true.
It’s awesome seeing Benoit. I love Wes Anderson skit!
WES ANDERSON YES. I couldn’t even finish this video before making comments 😂 Best video yet. Happy birthday Daphne! The Wes Anderson film was THE BEST.👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🎉
Happy Birthday Daphne!! Congrats Benoit!! And Ian, thank goodness you survived the killer centipede. 😁
Bravo Benoit. Happy birthday Daphne . Just an all around Fab video. Your Dog needs an agent. The Wes Anderson homage was just terrific .
Love from Canada
Happy Birthday Daphne! Benoit is so grateful, the community of generous people is amazing.
There was SO MUCH in this video! Benoit(!)...including his secret room. Ian and his improved ivy battle gear. Centipede! Staining the shutters. Spider! Archaea being the Best Watchdog. Wes Anderson!
The Wes Anderson ending was beautifully done😂😂😂. Felt like Fantastic Mr Fox
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAPHNE!!!! Love love love loved the Wes Anderson vibes!!!! Awesome!
Happy Birthday, Daphne! 🥳Wishing you so many more happy years. I so love watching the two of you together as you undertake your maintenance projects. You must both be busy from dawn to dusk every day. Take time to enjoy the beauty around you - and the joy you have together. 💖

Ian your French accent is sounding very on point!
The two of you are hilarious. The sound of the bow string was a perfect "boing!" Happy Birthday Daphne!
You took the Wes Anderson trend to a whole new level, I LOVED IT!! Can you please isolate the Wes Anderson bit into its own video?? It deserves to shine on its own!!
Bon anniversaire Daphne! 🍾 L'hommage Wes est juste sur la marque, bravo 🎯 beaucoup de bisous pour Benoit et Philip aussi! xxx
Happy Belated Birthday, Daphne! May all your heart’s desires be realized🎂!
You are in great company my Dear Daddy’s special day was shared with yours!
OMG, the Wes Anderson mini-film was the BEST. Love your work, guys!
Happy Birthday Daphne! You and my son share the same birthdate - and he too always gets the same sentiment - May the 4th be With You! 🇨🇦❤️
I found your channel about a week ago and I love it. I've been binge-watching all your episodes, and they are great. If I may make a few comments as you go, which you might have already started doing. Avoid the electric drill on existing wood. Clean the grove and use a hand crank screwdriver, which can be used for drilling as well. You will have more control and avoid damaging the wood which tends to be more fragile. Wear masks when sanding treated wood. Treat all those wooden window panels with linseed oil. It will preserve the wood and make it easier to clean. A good power washer will be your best friend. I can't wait to see the "never-ending" results.
Amazing Birthday! You guys NAILED IT! the more I watch you guys, the better I like you!! ... Editing was on point start to finish!
The Wes Andersen piece is sheer brilliance! Well done! Happy Birthday Daphne!
The jobs are endless and always big. Its not one meter of moat wall that needs to be cleaned but at least a hundred and there is not one shutter to restain but maybee 200….I admire that you even want to start…. I admire you! Happy Birthday, Daphne!
You nailed the Wes Anderson! I’m a huge fan!
Youse two are so bloody hilarious, your almost Aussies you know!! Love your episodes brings smiles all round. Thank you for allowing us and all others to be part of your adventures, your growth, your renovations. We love you all 👍🇦🇺🇫🇷🙏😍💃🎂 PS- Belated Happy Birthday 🎉Daphne
Dying! Such a great homage to Wes & Daphne. Keep up the good hard work love watching you both. The music and cinematography are stunning with your vlog.
Happy birthday Daphne!
Thank you for your philanthropic support, for Benoit.🙏

If I may give a little suggestion. I would point the wall as quick as possible so there is no more growth of plants on the wall !
Yes to everything else. I love your work ethic, videoing, information, humor, and loving relationship. No to the arrow pretending to be shot at the apple in hand. A disclaimer saying you didn’t do that AND shooting anything at living things is not to be done would be spot on. Please!
I’m thinking of children seeing this and already they have enough deadly games…
TYVM
Those well thought out solutions, appear to make the job easier
So happy to see Benoit doing well and smiling.. Happy Birthday Beautiful Daphne🍾🎂🎉
You are hilarious...a joy to watch! It's so nice to see you hook up with Benoit again. Love you guys!
Best Wes Anderson interpretation ever!!! 🤣😍
Contente de voir que Benoît va bien et qu’il va toujours produire ces magnifiques meubles avec son nouvel ami de travail et ses beaux jouets 💪👏👍💜💚😉🥰
Merci beaucoup à vous tous surtout
I loved the scripted birthday epilog. A nice mix with the other content. 🙂
Happy birthday, Daphne! I love the Wes Anderson nod!!!
Hooray for Benoit!
The Blooper reel will be epic!
The Wes Anderson part was perfect, we loved it!
I loved, loved, loved the Wes Anderson part to the vid! more of these please!!! and of course so lovely to see Benoit!! Happy birthday Daphne!
So lovely to see Benoit happy, wonderful tools to make his life safer he’s like a kid in a candy shop…. We expect great things Benoit when your ready! 😂
LOVE THAT NEW SANDER! I’m a pretty bad asthmatic so we are always on the hunt to find items that will keep wood dust, paint dust, etc down, as I’m allergic to saw dust. Hugs to Arkaya.
Loved how the dog kept moving into other places in the beginning. I’m happy Benoit is doing so well
