Welcome to Our French Chateau!
We are Amanda and Lincoln. With our two daughters and pets in tow, we moved across the world from our home in San Francisco California to buy and restore a petite chateau on 40 acres in the beautiful French countryside of Brittany.
Our channel documents our triumphs and failures in restoring the 19th-century Chateau de Lingourdy. We plan to return the gardens, cottages and barns to their former glory (on a tight budget) and open them up for events and luxurious stays to the public. So if you're interested in observing daily life through the eyes of an American family whose French language skills are quite lacking and who have amassed a menagerie that includes cats, dogs, and donkeys. Please join us...

[@Sly-Regicide]

WHATS UP WITH THOSE RIOTERS?!?! ARE YOU UNARMED? HOW DO YOU PROTECT SUCH BEAUTY? WHEN YOUR POLITICIANS SELL YOU OUT?

[@KimSincox]

What a joy to watch! Very therapeutic!

[@ellebelle8515]

I had to come back to add that I find watching and listening to your beautiful donkeys crunch their hay incredibly enjoyable and relaxing.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jansmith8370]

Country living at its best.

[@connihudson1578]

Serenity and beauty...no wonder you made this extraordinary decision to live and raise your children in France. 😊

Absolutely gorgeous images. Thank you. 😎😎👍👍

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@GraceHappens]

Extraordinary! I could watch so many of those scenes for hours. If you ever decide to make Asmr videos I’ll definitely watch them. Especially loved the swings in the sunrise with the birds. Beautiful!

[@yb8080]

Great video today showing the seasons. From your San Francisco brothers and sisters. We too are back in France finally!

[@sailingwhitsundays5672]

I rarely comment on your channel, but that was simply beautiful & so calming 💕

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you! 😊

[@ellebelle8515]

You chose your property well, and you have worked so hard to make your home and gardens the magnificent place it is in the midst of becoming. Add to it your people and animal family, and life looks truly glorious in France.

[@pattysippel1246]

ALL THE DRONE SHOTS ARE AMAZING!!! Very captivating to watch!

[@sallymoffit3751]

Nature at it's best

[@myspanishcountryhome]

By far my favorite Chateau channel. Love the humour, and I always look forward to new episodes. To your continued success.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks

[@suzetteblair8419]

Your videos make me long to visit France but only rural France! This was so lovely. Reminds me of the area I live in (Western Kentucky). Just add horses lol. Must say though, love the donkeys😊 You’re so fortunate to live in such beauty.

[@kerriegood1046]

Lovely video. Loved the music you paired all the video with. Always enjoy your videos.

[@brandyc4955]

I don't ordinarily leave comments, but I loved everything about this video ❤

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Living in beautiful France! Wow!

[@marciabeverly822]

Beautiful!

[@artnodulot1525]

trés beau .i hope you are happy in france and I hope you have made some nice friends like you with animals. It's a good point to have in common. They are everywhere in the countryside, you just have to meet them.

[@CynthiaBerry713]

I can smell the fresh air! You're so lucky!

[@normamurray4450]

Wow, what a great video to watch on this Sunday afternoon all the way over here in British Columbia, Canada! You've captured the beauty of your entire Chateau and surrounding areas and took us on a lovely trip!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dianayavetz6286]

I liked watching this better than my favorite app “Calm”. Great job👏🏻

[@joanns5250]

I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@denicesmith5391]

I beg to differ, you are the coolest couple I watch. Lovely video.

And I have commented to before your choice in music is so much better than any utuber I’ve watched

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks :)

[@louiselewis5061]

What a beautiful video! Thank you. You live in a gorgeous part of France.

[@PamelaPitts-v6e]

Beautifully shot video. Thank you.

[@janjanhug]

I loved every second of that, thank you Amanda. A lovely tribute to life’s simplest pleasures and to (in my opinion) the world’s most beautiful country.

[@janjanhug]

We are currently on vacation in S France (from SF 🇺🇸) and about every hour or so I say to my husband ‘Let’s buy a chateau like Amanda and Lincoln!’ 🤣 Perhaps you can rent me one of your out buldings. lol

[@caesarfabella9719]

Plage Napoleon is my favorite! The maison douanier is my "house" as my friends call it. I have been going there since the early '90s.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

It's one of our favorite spots, but there are so many beautiful beaches here...

[@haagatha]

Oh my, I'm ready to move. Just beautiful ❤

[@StrawberrySue777]

Omg........breathtaking. I want to paint your chateau, and gardens. Much joy to you.

[@kathy3448]

I never watch asmr videos but loved this.

[@pattyt7776]

Beautiful vlog-one of my favorite parts is always listening to the donkeys as they crunch their treats! Weird, I know. ❤️❤️

[@hillsideurbangarden1380]

I do love the quiet of the countryside. My favorite is the morning, sitting outside with my coffee and croissant enjoying the beautiful gardens and peace. Magic🌻👩🏼‍🌾

[@gaydoyle810]

So much beauty! May have to visit! France that is!

[@cindyconlisk1062]

Beautiful scenery

[@jennichristie5264]

Beautiful imagery. So peaceful.

[@jadejohns3107]

Love the grey of the exterior door. Would look very elegant on all exterior features, windows, shutters etc.

[@doloreslegrand2710]

Your Cosmos ( all flowers and plants ) are so beautiful especially love Cosmos, so dainty. No luck with them here in TX. Too hot I suppose - and dry. Love your vlogs ❤

[@jackiedecoster5527]

Wonderful video! So peaceful. Enjoy.

[@figencebe9287]

I think I’ll watch this every time I won’t feel good … you did such a beautiful job ❤

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😁

[@dianneminutes2008]

Stunning views...glad you found peace there...

[@podd372]

This should be mandatory viewing for anyone who feels stressed. Chill out music, great filming, animals.....it has it all. Great job, thank you.

[@dawnbarnes8729]

You have captured what your beautiful life so well. The stroll through the seasons was so enjoyable. Hope all is well with y’all! ❤️😊

[@akb9909]

I could use more of your picturesque blogs in my life!

[@adjesprangers3738]

Really beautiful vlog, just what I needed this moment! Thank you for taking time to make it.

[@traceykusser368]

For what it’s worth, I think you’re pretty cool; I bet your kids do too. What a beautiful place to live and you represent it so well. I always look forward to seeing your content pop up on my feed! 😃❤

[@celinaderose]

[@sueholden3320]

Stunning crafting of your fabulous world❤

[@virginiawestcot3111]

Beautiful peaceful video

[@lynnelavella2432]

💚🧡💜 What a lovely video! I moved to Cleveland from Santa Cruz back in 2008... So needless to say, I really miss my coastal lifestyle. (Lake Erie does not have the same vibe). Thank you for your wonderful landscapes and serene soundtracks, which help me to escape to rural France. 💜🧡💚

[@angeliacrotteau6914]

Truly a beautiful property! I always look forward to your videos to see the progress you are making and the beautiful area that you call home.

[@binalavery836]

It certainly is beautiful!

[@doloreslegrand2710]

Love your videos!! You are living my dream. So happy for you. ❤️

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

I can see why you chose to live in this area of France 🇫🇷 Love the scenery at the beach as well. I could watch videos like this for hours. So calming and serene. Especially love the animals both domestic and wild. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks :)

[@kimberlysmith661]

Beautiful scenery!

[@debbieosborn9464]

Beautiful well done video. Even though it’s a lot of hard work it looks like a wonderful life and place to live.

[@maggiegray1698]

You are great filmmakers. Such a delight

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@deniseh122]

Lovely seeing the chateau during the 4 seasons. Gorgeous drone footage. I think you are both very cool! No matter what your kids think. Maine USA

[@suzieq2958]

The garden looks amazing! Is that this year Amanda? 💜

[@lisakilmer2667]

This is a most excellent video! Beautifully done.

[@deniereynolds6119]

Beautiful life, magnificent country, thank you for bring us along. My son lives in Sausalito and I think that’s so European to me. I’m enjoying your channel very very much and want to acknowledge all of your hard work. ❤❤❤❤

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Sausalito is lovely :)

[@shellywinkler437]

What and beautiful video! Thank you for sharing all the things you appear to be grateful for ❤

[@suemccoy7533]

This video was just beautiful. You are lucky to live in the beautiful French countryside, enjoy!

[@sanlen1944]

Beautiful looking place to live .

[@sue7190]

Fabulous video. Beautiful location and home

[@gloriasmestad3803]

This was a delightful explication on your reasoning for living in France! Very convincing!

[@1Pamzinha]

Thank you so much...what a treat. Better than a vacation.

[@luanncorbin8652]

That was just beautiful. Everything looks so clean and fresh. I really admire your love for your home and your animals. ❤❤️😎🇺🇸🏰🐕

[@GrandmaSharon]

You are doing a wonderful job on a special property!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you so much :)

[@marynorthcutt9263]

Absolutely beautiful video. It’s so nice to live somewhere the has 4 true seasons. Here in the southern US we only have one season and it’s called HOT 🥵🥵.

[@JM-ue1qk]

Woooow....que extraordinaria calidad de video!

[@imperfectzen6050]

This was such a pleasure! As always, impressed with your composition and lighting...and that you captured all these wonderful moments over the years. May I ask...do you use iMovie to create your videos? And at some point, would you share what equipment (drone, camera, etc) you use for your film-making?

[@phyllisburrell8661]

Wow ! What a beautiful gift for us, on a Sunday ! I especially appreciate it, I am in crispy, Southern California. So dry, all the time ! Thanks Amanda & Lincoln ! I THINK YOUR SUPER COOL : )

[@OurFrenchChateau]

🤣

[@chrisbeckstrom6182]

In the sea of all the chateau vlogs, yours stands out as the best in my mind. Your production quality, interesting content, and wry narration put the nonsensical frippery and foppery of the other channels in their place, well beneath yours. It's a real pleasure to escape to your domicile, thank you for doing what you do.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Wow, thank you!

[@taunyawren8020]

Very beautiful video. Just serene to watch. I really enjoy your videos, your personality’s, dreamy setting, hard work, design, innovation and how personable you are. I feel as if we could be friends. I would maybe like to move to France, who knows. I think you could be on your own tv show by the way if that’s what you both would like. I just hope that we still get to have this more personal connection as well. Also thanks for responding to my previous comments. It’s very thoughtful.

[@michelleb6409]

What an amazing video. Thank you for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise.

[@AtlantaGarden]

I adore Brittany and could watch this video every day. ❤😍❤

[@beverlysnow9315]

Fabulous video! Thank you for sharing your space with us.

[@cynthiahudson7528]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful area and chateau.

[@cherylmomof2boys]

Beautiful video. That's proof you don't need to say much for viewers to be enthralled by your lives and home.

[@JoannKunkleman-ke8gi]

Love Love Love

[@sandramitchell1424]

What a beautiful video!! Thank you!
