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 to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

Seeing abandoned homes always makes me feel sad because once upon a time they were someone's pride and joy. This is just a wonderful transformation.

[@archier.6942]

i feel the same

[@globescience1728]

same with old abandoned people, homeless, etc. if you imagine once they might have had a family, place to stay or just something that was holding their life together

[@azmanhere]

i was just thinking about that.This makes me so sad.

[@us1289]

You are true. I'm specially think about the last of any kingdom or family's pride was their castles homes once they were full from happiness and joy and now they are converting to ruins.they are evidence of both past and present Joy and sorrow . 😢😢 feel sad to think about Bahadur shah jafar 😢😢

[@cuddleysquid]

Went in one today yeah that’s the sad but fun part

[@anamitraghosh6737]

I am from India and I always find such transformations so incredible. Its hard for me to imagine renovating an entire house from scratch, esp because we rely on getting labour to fix even the tiniest of things. I dont know if its because its cheaper to hire labour for piecemeal jobs or entire renovations, or that we lack knowledge, or getting all of the requisite tools without shelling out money that doesn't justify the cost, we urban indians just cannot imagine taking up such projects. Hence, its even more fascinating to see how a small family puts in their heart into a shell of a house and turns it into a home! There's so much love in this place, and it is so, so beautiful!!

[@deva0066]

i also have same question in my mind while seeing renovation videos

[@Shyamviswanadhan]

Maybe it's because people don't care enough to try it themselves first before calling an expert.

[@NishantKumar-po9mi]

same question here 😅. But I'm assuming they must be professional builders and finally they put their skills for something of their own. The man trained his wife or maybe they were in the same profession and eventually they married and the kid learnt from seeing what their parents were doing.

[@raveneyes366]

Atleast try to do what you can. It's fun planning how to design and decorate your own house. My hubby was always busy on his work so i'm the one who paints and puts on wallpapers. I 'DIY' some of our decors and furnitures and trust me,it's so fulfilling.

[@sobiasiddiquie]

So true! We have lack of knowledge, lack of equipments and lack of time. But atleast observing and researching on own helps when interacting with masons or labourers or plumbers etc. My mother in her childhood used to be very much involved when her house was getting built. Which is now useful to us whenever there is some issue in the house. Although she won't do it herself but atleast she's there to understand what the other person saying or to convey her thoughts and measures in order to get things fixed.

[@thehussarsjacobitess85]

Abandoned houses literally pain me. It's such a waste of past labor and resources, so needless to say, this video gave me so much joy! Thank you!💜

[@internationaldirector2917]

You know, in the UK, the old houses are graded according to their age and historical significance, and the restrictions are far stiffer than in America. Oh, and by the way, you have inadvertently revealed more about yourself than perhaps you realized or intended by your remark. Where were you on January 6th last year?

[@catherinegiesige7169]

The transformation that you’ve achieved in a little over a year is mind blowing. Tony and Tracy, you’re incredibly inspiring, and I’ve grown to admire you both so much, in the short time I’ve been following your progress (binge watching, because I can’t get enough of you all). You’re both so humble, and your modesty should not prevent you from being so very proud of yourselves, and of what you’ve created from a very broken canvas. You’ve brought me great joy, and that to me is priceless, so thank you 🙏🏻

just like the series Escape to the chateau did so many years bringing it back to it's former glory

It's incredible what you guys have achieved in a short space of time. You do everything with such passion and enthusiasm. Watching your journey makes me realize that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. I really do wish you all the very best because you deserve it so much.
