Welcome to our Gite renovation journey! Join us as we transform an abandoned 2-bedroom apartment into a stunning retreat filled with warmth, luxury and charm. In this exciting timelapse video, witness the incredible before-and-after transformation of a neglected space into a place of beauty and comfort.
From the initial demolition to the final touches, we tackle each phase of the renovation with passion and creativity. Watch as the walls come down, the floors are revitalized, and the space is meticulously redesigned to maximize functionality and style.
To our loyal, regular viewers of the channel, we cannot thank you enough for your patience during this very busy period. We are thrilled to be welcoming so many guests to the chateau and long may it continue. However, we cannot wait to get back to our regular uploads on our Sunday evenings. Hope to see you all soon, stay safe!
As always, thanks again for your continued support on our videos. It would really help us if you could continue to like and share our video on other chateau pages to continue growing the channel!
If you think that Chateau de Bruges is somewhere you would like to visit, celebrate something special or just have a relaxing break, then please reach out via our website or email. We would love to hear from you!

Thanks for watching!

[@ScissorsAndSmiles]

I missed the premiere because of a dinner, but better late than never: You have done an amazing job with the gite, guys. I love the modern-industrial styling of the apartment, which sets it apart from the elegance of the chateau guest rooms. What a triumph. And the video really brought home how much I missed your videos. The intro, the little jokes peppered within, the editorial style - all this sets you apart from other chateau channels. I chuckled so much during the video - the return of the plasterboard, particularly (continued apologies to Graham, and high five to Jake. I really appreciate the humour you are putting in your stories!) You are clearly putting so much work in everything you do - renovations and KZbin. You deserve a huge pat on the back for all that. Keep doing what you are doing! Best wishes and congrats on this latest achievement!

[@jimmyconnolly3461]

Aye, but at €200? I’d rather stay in the cheaper chateau. 😉😂❤️✊xx
