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.

I love it when Ash speaks to the camera. He is so natural and expressive with his face and the joy in his voice. I feel the joy all the way in Australia. Keep up the wonderful job you are all doing, it’s inspirational and I wish I could come over and help out🇦🇺❤️👍🏻

[@davidolien2828]

Ash does a wonderful job as commentator. He’s a natural. The garden will be spectacular.

[@kjb9911]

Ash you are so comfortable in front of the camera. Such such a difference since the first videos I love watching the videos and seeing the progress that you all are making you’re doing such an awesome job. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@tonivalenzuela8274]

It is amazing amount of work you have done with a Senior workforce. When the crew go home do you have some younger friends you could invite, they would have a lot to live up to. The crew you have now have worked so hard and accomplished so much, their work ethics are incredible. Applause, applause, applause.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much! They’re all Young at heart! 🥰🥰🥰

[@clairewright8153]

And 10 to 15 ton of gravel is a huge amount. I’m in total awe of all the hard work.

[@patriciathompson350]

Terry and Ash's family might not be 20/ 30 year olds but they have strength, and are not afraid of hard work, as well as having a great work ethic too. Well done family the paths are looking great. UTB ❤ 👍

[@nancysimpson9045]

I bet you any money this is exactly how the Lady of the chateau dreamt of having the walled garden 200 years ago AWSOME WORK 💕🇦🇺💕

[@sharonwolfe4230]

A tribute to Tracey would be a lovely idea. She's the hardest working woman on you tube and always seems so.pleasant. I wish i.had her strength and energy.

[@gloriasmestad3803]

I do think reinstating the original sun dial is a great idea. One concern I have is that you are creating a beautiful vista which extends down to the various terraced levels. I would be cautious about having anything that will grow to a great height in the middle because you could lose the grand view that you have now been opening up. Yew trees in the middle in the formal garden that grow unchecked might be too much. But of course they can be pruned and shaped. At any rate, I do love seeing the collective enthusiasm and effort set forth, and think your progress is remarkable! Kudos!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Gloria 🥰

[@lindabaker2905]

😊what wonderful memories you are all creating together to be shared with one another into the future! So very,very well done!

[@justinanovak8040]

Fortunately yews grow super slow.

[@gloriasmestad3803]

@@justinanovak8040 Right, but they have a very long lifespan. Which means it might be a problem far down the road, but it’s better to confront theoretical problems than live, looming ones.

I cannot believe some of these comments! They are doing this MAMMOTH job and folk are wittering away about a small unpainted window at the top of the chateau!!!! If it affects their ocd from thousands of miles away, be brave and don't look. They are doing a fantastic job and do not need these sort of remarks. Well done all of you, it's going to be fantastic😊

Thank you 🙏 ☺️

The fluidity of each person wheeling the stone to the areas is so beautiful to watch. Organization is always the plan and that's likely why it is going so well and will be finished on time. Blessing all those who are helping out.

I think you need to turn the barn into a senior's retirement home - how can you part with your aunts and uncles - would be nice to have them with you always. what about circular seating bench - anything high might impede your view.

The garden layout plan was ambitious, to understate things, but you've executed it brilliantly. In a future year, it would be awesome to take the next step-down garden and make it into a less formal but still unique space for activity - something you wouldn't mind younger kids running around in while their parents are enjoying the upper one, but still able to see them. I could totally envision a meditation labyrinth like the one at Chartres, perhaps a little live willow-branch dome to sit in, a fire pit or barbecue corner and that sort of thing. You know, when you've got a minute...

[@edwardulrich1515]

If you decide on a statue, may I suggest the patroness of France, Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc). She epitomizes Tracy's perseverance and persistence. Also, Jeanne would better suit a French château than the Roman Diana. Alternatively, an obelisk or a piece of topiary. The functional sundial idea may not be practical in the shade of the planned trees. You all are getting a workout from moving that ton of gravel. It's time for a Gin & Tonic or a cold brew (for Ashley). 🍻
