    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.

    The staircase looks absolutely amazing, Terry! I agree, the aged walls will look better behind the plants. Ash, the edging for the borders is a work of art and soooo difficult to do!! And Tracy, last but not least, the work you're doing is wonderful. You are a very hard worker. I think that your family follows you in their work ethic. Well done each and every one of you!

Subscribing, liking, and commenting are all rewarded by the algorithm. When new people subscribe the ad revenue for the site operators increases, thus we all contribute a little financially to the restoration of the chateau.

You are all doing a marvelous job of thoughtfully repairing, restoring and re-invigorating this grand old lady. Lalacelle is your chateau. Do it your way. And enjoy the ride!

It is possible that the iron ones currently in situ. have rusted and expanded inside the structure and as a consequence have cracked and consequently displaced the granite in several places. The clean stairs look wonderful.

    My gosh. The filming, and especially the editing, of this episode was spectacular; the best this season. Sooo interesting to watch a bit of Terry, a bit of Ash, and a bit of Tracy; all doing their bit to move the restoration along. Amazing. Well done. Oh, all of the results of your efforts were great too. Hahaha. Loving all of you from Mexico City.
