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.

Your Aunt Paula like your mom are both gems!!!! Great job all of you!
She is. Thank you 🥰
Paula truly is a gem, well said 💕👏💕
Clearing of that driveway looks AWESOME and truly opens up your land. Hating barbwire myself for the sake of wild animals, I am so glad you got rid of it. " Painting Paula " truly is making the front gates shine!!
Thanks Vicki! Hope you don’t get too much snow! 🥰🥰
Great that you have family here to help with the restoration of the old entrance gate, It will definitely be another focal point of the chateau property.🤩🤩
Paula is fabulous with a paint brush😊 That driveway....oh my word!!! It's such an open space now and looks so inviting for a stroll❤ Great job, everyone is pitching in and that work is really showing!!!!
I think so too! 🥰🥰
The more you do the more we can see how beautiful the property really is.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Your whole family did such a wonderful job at the chateau. I'm always amazed at how much love you put into restoring the buildings and the entire area around them, just as they once were. You don't shy away from a lot of hard work and do everything very thoroughly. Your solidarity is remarkable and I hope from the bottom of my heart that the Chateau will one day serve as a holiday home for friendly, enthusiastic and happy people.
The two dormers look fantastic, the gate Paula is painting and the driveway are so nice. To look down the drive and see it cleared is such a wonderful sight. Applause, Applause
You truly deserve that gorgeous Château. You give it love and it repays you.
Thanks John 🥰🥰
Aunt Paula is a gem and has transformed the front gates already.
Dormers look refreshed and ready for any kind of weather.
The driveway is really coming into its own. What a big job that was.
Many hands make light work for sure!
Great family effort, team Lalacelle!
It’s going to be a very busy Spring at Lalacelle! Can’t wait to see how the gates turn out after Paula does her magic! ❤️
Thanks so much for allowing us to come along on your journey restoring this wonderful chateau. I look forward to your videos, you all are working together to get all the jobs done.So nice to see a family working together to complete each project. You all are doing such a good job.
“She’s” really coming back to life now!
Isn't it amazing what a fresh coat of paint makes? I think you should call Paula 'Picaso', the gates look amazing even in their undercoat, she always does a great job, she's definitely a keeper. Her next job can be the old gates you found at the other entrance! Whoohoo! The dormer windows look fresh and clean too, well done both of you. I am looking forward to when the shutters are painted too. The driveway looks loved now xxx
It's such a treat for me to see you all working in the sun, clearing the drive, painting windows and cutting the grass, I enjoyed it so much and nice to see your friends getting stuck in as well, see you next time ❤😊
Thank you Cheryl 🥰🥰🥰
What a family of workers! Is there nothing Tracy can’t do? Paula spreading white paint like fairy dust, what a transformation you are all creating❤❤👏👏
You do such wonderful planning and organizing with attention to the weather conditions. It would be so easy to get lost in all of the work and upkeep you have to do. So glad you have help from family and friends!
Thank you so much! ☺️
I love this family. They put so much love and respect into bringing life back into this property. I’m so glad to see the barb wire finally going. ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻
There's nothing like a good clean-up, great job team . Perhaps a plaque for the tree stating the original tree. Paula hooray, what a great job painting ..
The side entrance looks so good now! Wow - what a huge improvement! We can really see the difference.
You continue to accomplish more each day than I thought would be humanly possible! Incredible!
Thanks Dennis 🥰
Wow, the (expanded!) Dream Team is moving right along at an impressive pace with the outside work. When Terry was up working on the dormers, it almost looked like he was getting his traditional Spring sunburn. The drive really looks very nice now.
All those birds in the background sounded pretty happy about the weather, too!
Painting the gates has brought them back to life, beautiful addition to the chateau😊
When I sign on to be notified, it’s funny how “The Usual Suspects” are there (John Chang 😂👏) waiting for every episode. Your videos have become such a fun part of our lives. There are a few other people I Subscribe to, one Canadian lady with about 400 sheep has really captured my heart. Then there’s Sean the Sheep man in Scotland …. They chat to the camera and have become like friends as is the case with Terry, Ash and Tracy.
The driveway looks great
Thank you Isobel 🥰🥰
Everything is looking so beautiful!!! 🥰🎶❤️🎶🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 🏰 🇫🇷 🇫🇷🇫🇷
The new gates that Paula is painting would look fantastic with red geraniums in the pots on top.
Thank you 🙏😊
Looks fantastic. I am glad to see your helpers. It's so nice of them to come and work. Paula is the painting queen.
Another terrific job by a great family working together. Lovely to share the experience with you, thank you. I applaud your decision to get rid of the barbed wire!
The mini rollers would help that job go faster. You have the solar generator. A paint sprayer would work for the fence.❤
Great job everyone. I'm always amazed how much work you all get through. The grounds and chateau look fantastic. It's lovely to see you all out in the sunshine too. The gates look awesome aunty Paula. ❤❤❤ UTB
Thanks so much! 🥰
Driveway looks great, good to see some decent weather has arrived
Everything’s looking amazing, watching you all down the newly cleared driveway, honestly felt like we were being transported into a fairytale book, I mean that in a very positive way! Very many thanks as always for sharing your fun, relatable & most educational videos, you never fail to amaze us. With lots of love and big hugs to you all, From Scotland 🤗xxx
I love the shot of you both driving along on your tractor, that is a wonderful thing and a picture in time 😊.
Things are looking so spiffy at the Chateau! The iron fence paint makes such a difference! All I hear work does, really!❤
Thanks Carla 🥰🥰
Love how it's all coming out. Nice job on the dormers. And it's so wonderful to seeing everyone working together. Wish I could have that here, but we're scattered all over the place. You're building some lovely memories together in addition to all you're accomplishing!
Happy the wire is gone ! It looks so lovely . Getting closer and closer to getting guest . Hopefully with family friends and volunteers you will get a lot ( as if you have not already ) knocked out so that each years it more maintenance than repair.
I miss Johnathan’s adorable face . He is such a smart young man.
Speaking of which ? How much are we raising for the school this year . When does that start . I got my donation saved back.
Thanks Stacia. We will see what we can do 😊😊
You and Paula did and amazing job today ... looks great! And of course Tracy and Ash too... and everyone ... it's looking wonderful.
Thank you 🙏😊
Everything looks great. I love the sounds of the birds as your backdrop.
Glad you have removed all the barbed wire, it really is terrible stuff, there is no need or place for it nowadays with good affordable electric fencing. The driveway and gates are looking fabulous! Well done team Lalacelle!!! xx
It's all coming together now, guys.Your hard work is very evident 😊😊❤
Tracey and Paula have such a phenomenal work ethic. I would say it is contagious in the family.
Great job in the driveway once the metal fence is done to match the gates it’s going to look amazing
Thanks Karen 🥰
Amazing what a lick of paint can do…like a face lift! ❤
Thank you 🙏😊
The lane looks magnificent, the gates are a wonder, Jo’s on the tractor, all’s right with the world. Happy spring to everyone!
The gates and driveway look amazing. Must be nice to work outside again 😍😘
Those white gates are so pretty ❤
The gate and driveway look wonderful! Paula is doing a great job. The dormer windows look great too. Nice to see all the bushes and trees trimmed. ❤
Bless sweet Paula the gate painting is a lot of work, way to go Paula👏👏👏👏👏💐
You guys have gotten a lot done in the good weather! The windows, gate, and drive look great!😊
Thanks 👍
I LOVE when proper prep work is done prior to the final phase of painting!!❤. The driveway looks so inviting.😊
It really is! Thank you 🙏😊
The painted gates look amazing!
Oh the driveway all cleared looks beautiful. The gates are looking great painted and the Dormers you painted. Lovely work. Thank God you got rid of that awful bobbed wire.
The treed driveway looks beautiful
What an impressive improvement on the drive. You all worked hard and enjoyed the nice weather. It always amazes me what a good change a lick of paint can do. When the whole fence is sandblasted and painted, it will look awesome. Well done, guys.❤
Gold on the gates? No way! Of course you will - go for it lol 👍
So gratifying I am sure to see the progress of the Just Jobs. Hugs to all 🤗
Love the little clip of Terry and Ash on the tractor on that beautiful spring day 🥰
To clear that driveway looks much better and removed the barbwire is better for the wild life also the gate looks very nice thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend 🐕🐈⬛🦌🐝🐞🌹🌼🌺🌸🌺
We agree! Thank you 🙏😊
I like the black gate ! Looks like it will be white. All is good sparkle with gold
The driveway looks so great guys! Well done! The gate is really coming along beautifully too.
Wow! What a transformation. Both the drive and the gates! Everything is looking so good. Moving forward is always a good feeling.
Yes! Thank you!
The driveway looks wonderful!!! All these “little jobs” has made a giant impact. Way to go!!!
Brilliant! I love the fresh painted dormers! Icing on a beautiful “ cake”.
Driveway looks amazing 👏👏👏👏
Fantastic video today - I have to say I am exhausted just watching you all work!
Новое преображение !!!🎉🎉
You've given me a new definition of the term 'Spring Cleaning'! And just when I think you've tackled most of your jobs and projects, you do a drone fly-over and I think 'Oh! there's still....' I'm so happy you're letting us all come along for the journey.
Looking great! Can't wait to see the walled garden again..
I am so excited to see the railings on top of the wall painted ! It has been really bugging me for a long time now for some reason.
Good on you lot getting rid of the barbed wire. Great content, great editing. Just Yeah !
I love seeing you look so happy Terry, you were beaming at the end of the video having accomplished so much today. Everyone worked incredibly hard clearing that magnificent driveway, it honestly looks like the regal driveway it was intended to be. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon with you, as always xxx 💕🥰💕 Alex in Florida
What gorgeous weather. The white paint is shining like the proverbial on a barn door. It’s beautiful. I can’t believe how much the outside has changed. Jobs well done everyone 😊❤
Great jobs accomplished, changed the look of things! Liz
Thought your mum would be up replanting those stone pots on the gates 😂
Looks fantastic after all the hard work.
That am amazing joy you all are doing. I love watching all the improvements you are making. Wish you all a blessings Easter.
13:02 that is a lot of work! Excellent results. 😎👍
I love you guys from Nova Scotia Canada.
Wow - fantastic!
Terry, you may already have noticed, but on the left side of the middle Dorma you have a tile that has slipped down. Great work in the sunshine. Rob, Cardiff, Wales 🏴
A new couple in the latest Château DIY series hired sandblasting equipment to clean fire-damaged stonework
Loved your video...
Amazing work continuing probably for forever!
Looks like a chateau can be an expensive pet... eh?
Your collective creativity always surprises me...
Blessings to all ❤
Magnifique cette grille repeinte par Paule !
Felicitez-la pour moi.
J'en revais depuis longtemps et elle l'a fait.
L'entree est tellement plus accueillante ainsi !!!
Congratulations to all of you !
Mary de Tours, qui admire votre courage...😊
Merci Mary. Trés Gentile 🥰🥰
💜💙💚
Awesome! @ 9:57 🍺😉
The paint makes everything crisp AND beautifull ❤
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
@@chateaudelalacelle thanks to you all,! You bring me shuch much joy AND enjoyment! Sometimes Is dificult for me to express in another language! Regards from Argentina
Thank you for sharing with the world, I love it, I was left with a desire of grab a paint brush. Saludos from California.
The birds sound wonderful! Greetings from Calgary, AB where we have approximately 20 cm of snow. Our ski resorts love it. Probably a few more cm to come. Watching you while finally home from a very severe shoulder and upper arm break. No painting for me this year-18 to 20 wks of recovery.
Ouch! Hope your recovery goes well 🙏🙏
@@chateaudelalacelle thanks. I remember Terry’s hand/wrist. I’m an avid gardener like Tracy, so I think we will have to investigate finding help this year.
Love your videos Dan!!!! So inspiring !! Love to see how far you’re coming along! I enjoyed watching you garden at la land !!! ❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜💜so inspiring and beautiful 🤩
All improvements are making a difference. I believe if you do sand blast the metal fencing and gates, you may have to be prepared to paint immediately after without delay. May be worth checking into. Best wishes.
Spring has definitely come to France. Seems like the time for window and door painting. The Pethericks are out painting as well. Mowers are busy and I bet the gardens are getting tidied up too.😃👍🇦🇺
That driveway is looking so neat now, well done all. Have you thought of painting the lower 4' of the tree trunks white like many French parks do. OK there will be some obvious gaps but you could paint the remaining fence posts white too. I think they use a lime paint or sort of distemper which also deters insects etc. .....Oh Paula.......?
A very nice job on the fence but I prefer black. I think it's more stately.
So amazing
Looks great time saver when i did my metal fence i used a small roller and followed up with the brush saved the sanity.
Thanks Rita 🥰
Absolutely great to see the drive way in its glory that gates just need a lick of paint then it will be absolutely spectacular
The gate looks great
Welldone guys
Take care and be kind

It's amazing what a coat of white paint can do. Well done! Love as always from County Durham xxx ❤
Thanks Glenys 🥰🥰
You all are fantastic and talented. Love your taste. Wish I could come to France. 😀👍. Spent a whole day watching and catching up on all your videos.
Dude that looks lovely. Good job.
Ash should be wearing protective gear when working on trees that size
Thank you
