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.

Tracy is the hardest working mom on the planet ❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Lynn. She’s amazing 🥰🥰

[@Skattie]

Go mamma ❤

[@almawebber]

I know your dachshund sleeps well at night because he works so very hard in the garden all day and is doing such a good job. He's what we call "a good boy"! And the chickens too.....

[@avivat3010]

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!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much! 🥰

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

The stairs look amazing!

[@user-vg9ch8sj8y]

There’s no job that Tracy ever shies away from. Her stamina seems never ending and inspires me to tackle more strenuous projects of my own.❤

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you 🙏 ☺️

I’m roughly Tracy’s age and I’m always amazed. I can not wait to see how things will go with all hands on deck!

[@brendajollymore4229]

You are about the hardest working family I have ever seen on KZbin! You’re committed! Bravo! Great work!

[@spiritofanu3112]

Oh my gosh - that opening morning mist shot was incredible! You really are the hardest working and productive family in the French Chateau restoration world! I think Tracy sets the standard! The newly cleaned staircase is amazing! The walled garden is really coming into fruition. Well done, team!

[@caropapa]

Patrick just cracks me up, he is such a great manager to have helping, also the chickens they are so docile, it`s lovely to watch them together.

[@peterkaufman8190]

Little by little the work you all do is bringing the chateu back to life. Such a joy to see the progress made. I admire your perseverance!

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks Peter 🥰

[@alexandra2jerry]

Every time I see Tracy lifting, carrying and walking with those heavy stones, I literally wince and my back cringes too. How on earth do you do it woman? I can’t applaud you enough for all you do. 👏👏👏 Patrick and Ash are a perfect team, digging and measuring to get those tiny walls put up (after all, they are Patrick size) 💕🥰💕 And as for your stairs Terry, well done! They’ll stand another 100 years I hope with love and good maintenance. xxxx with love from Florida

@@soniahamilton9914 The KZbin algorithm is a formula for determining which sites will be favored by the computer when it comes to directing people to new sites. 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 need to buy a heavy duty trolley with 4 fat wheels (if you don't already have one) for Tracy to use around the garden to load and transport those blocks.

She’s so Majestic in her return!❤❤❤. You are all doing a fantastic job!❤❤❤❤ Be Proud!

[@susanmetzelar549]

Boy, Patrick must be the main boss, and the chickens are in the quality control department. So, cute

[@lawrencebaker2318]

The chateau has always been built, re-built, repaired and restored time and again over the years. Each generation did the best they could with the options they had and with their vision and tastes. 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!

[@user-xh6md8kk6c]

Staircase railing a must for older guests.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you

[@tamaragarcia348]

The staircase looks wonderful Terry! The same goes for Ash, your edges are perfection. But I take my hat off to Tracy…woman!!! You are simply amazing, tireless, patient, and skilled in everything you do. All my respect to you.

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Miss Tracey must have a back of someone half her age, she’s such a hard worker(you’d say she “gets stuck in”) This project is like eating an elephant. You all working hard to tackle one thing at a time will so worth it once it’s all done. Guests will be filling the rooms & roaming the gardens just as they did when the château was in her hay day.

[@nileswilson577]

Feel so much better seeing the Girls and Patrick watching over the work. 😂 She's looking so much better, great job mates.

[@desirepflugbeil8986]

It is such a pleasure to watch you. In all the years I've been subscribed, no anger, no drama, just love and work. It is soo good. Thank you for that. I'm sure there are times you need to go take a walk alone to cool off, but it never shines through. Thank you for that. ❤❤❤❤

[@lisaakinlabi]

OMG it's going to be just as stunning outside as it is inside! Terry your vision is perfection and it's been an honor to follow you and the family as you all work so hard to bring beauty back to this wonderful chateau, property and gardens! You should all take great pride in the amazing transformations you have achieved!

[@susannejohnson6904]

With the shot of the chateau from the back, you can really see how it is coming back to life. Great job to all of you for the hard work you put into revitalizing this old relic.

[@alexandra2jerry]

I don’t think the Grande Damme likes to be called “an old relic” Good Grief! She’s been a very grand lady in her day.

[@lindapeterson7196]

I just love you all for your love to the Chateau. You work endlessly to get the best results. That takes grit and hard work and even if you are exhausted, You end each episode with a smile. We are in the 200 hundreds episodes and we will binge until we are caught up. ❤

[@user-dt4gc9ow4d]

I'm not surprised at how hard they work. North of England people usually are very hard working. I was born in Yorkshire and was raised to be proud to be working class. If you want anything badly enough, you have to work for it.

[@iu.5146]

I just LOVE this family and their chateau. You pour so much love into this Grand Ol’ Lady and it shows. The staircase turned out beautiful. The buildings are such good quality and clean up so well. Can’t wait to see the garden go in. As a passionate gardener, the outdoor videos are my favorite thing to watch. You are not only the hardest working family on KZbin, you also have the best vibe. Watching your videos fills my heart with joy and calmness.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thank you so much! ☺️

The misty morning shifts are beautiful, I always love to see how the sun evaporates them away ❤

Patrick is in his happy place in the garden.

[@sheilaclark3718]

I've started from the beginning and am watching the vlogs from the oldest to the newest. I had just watched the vlog where the garden wall fell just as you were getting ready for the septic system and I had to jump ahead and watch this one. I can see lots of progress on the chateau and on the grounds! I can't wait to see the in-between progress. 🥰

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

The garden is taking shape. Crack up when the chickens 🐓 “ help”. Love the staircase 😍😘

There has never been a more beautiful outdoor staircase! You have made it shine. Lovely.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kwwa7982]

I am SO impressed with what you are doing in the walled garden. It would have been easier to just plant an orchard or lawn but you are designing a beautiful complement to your chateau. A real nod to its history while being true to your stamp on life at this place you call home. Absolutely wonderful to put the tremendous work into this area that is the soul of the entire area.

[@maggieflatt9686]

The steps do look amazing. I am surprised they weren't in worse condition. I can't believe Tracy can handle that tiller. It is a wicked job. The garden is really shaping up. You all amaze me with the amount of energy you have.

[@nickitighe9163]

I love Patrick. He’s such a hard worker also. I’ve had dachshund and they are the cutest hard-working little dogs. Patrick is doing exactly what he was bred for digging holes and finding treasures.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

He loves it 🥰🥰

[@denisegordon5738]

Looks really good. I can’t believe mum, Tracy is doing the tilling. I can just imagine a rose garden

[@chateaudelalacelle]

We will have some roses 🥰🥰

[@galtmann8482]

Hi,👋 it's Grace 🌞🌻from California. You three are an amazing family. Ash, you have done an incredible job on the stone edging!👏 Tracy, you are a fantastic woman. You work so hard and maintain your wonderful laugh and smile!😍 I can see how much you need soothing spa days. It's backbreaking work !Terry, the staircase looks amazing, and getting rid of the lime patches is definitely a good idea. You three amaze with your hard work, and the progress you have made so far is quite astonishing. You know, when Rob comes back for the summer, he will be totally blown away with how much and how far you have gotten with the restoration. Excellent job!👍❤

[@susanoswald325]

Just Amazing progress! Patrick sure is a digger and his bond with Ash is precious. He really does favor Ash.

[@chateaudelalacelle]

No he loves both 🥰🥰

[@alexandra2jerry]

I think it’s because Ash ends up in the garden more and Patrick loves to dig!

[@davidcunningham5422]

That staircase is good for another 100 years now Terry!! What a transformation!! That whole garden is going to make that chateau shine🤩. To look back at when you first arrived - it is impossible to believe the transformation. A big pat on the back for all of you!!🇨🇦🥂

[@rosewall782]

The walled garden is looking so good. Ash has done an amazing amount of work. Can’t wait until you’re ready to go plant shopping, I hope you take us along to see the plants, shrubs, and flowers, and hear the design plan.

[@marypaddey4625]

Those steps came up beautifully. You have the knack now! interest very quickly Yes you're quite right not to do the walls. Some lovely trailing plants will soften them and return them the olde worlde look. The gardens are really taking shape now. Well done all.

[@linshannon4480]

I'm so happy you've cleaned and patched up the stairs next to the little fountain! You're so right, Terry. It's one of my favorite pieces of the chateau for whatever reason. Ash and Tracy have done an amazing job on the garden! When I first saw what this year's plans for the garden, I thought it was too much for the season, but after today's (or these few days) efforts, it's so completely do-able. Kudos to you all for your dedication and determination!

[@hermitlifeinthemountainsub9493]

Terry's vision came to life. BRILLIANT!

[@mylittlesuitcase1755]

Good to see Patrick hard at work again 😂

[@Tracyforever]

The garden is coming along, it’s a big job, but it will be so rewarding when it’s done (of course the garden is never done as it’s always evolving). you’ve done a great job on those steps and I love that you’re going to leave the walls the way they are and have some trailing plants on them. Cheers!

Omg Terry, so so happy to see the walled garden staircase being done! As a fairly new viewer to your channel, I have been binge watching all your vlogs from the very beginning and today, I saw the episode where you lost one of the walls. My heart cried out to you all and I was worried about the integrety of all the other walls and staircase. Hope the other walls are not in jeporady as well 😢 As for the ivy, I have been watching many of the Chateau DIY channels and what I have learned is that there are different varieties of ivy, some that should never touch stone work or buildings as it can be very detrimental to the longevity of the stone. However there are varities that are user friendly as well. Might be something ya might want to check out if ya haven't already. Your Mom Tracey, is just amazing and very inspirational. Love her! ❤

[@autodidactin]

That sinuous staircase really adds an elegant aspect to the view of the chateau. Seeing the walled garden happening before our eyes, with your hard labor, is so exciting and deeply moving. Love seeing the aerial shots of the progress. Also great seeing the progress being made on the facade and windows on this side of the chateau. You never cease to amaze with the amount of work you get done!
