My name is Michael Petherick and I live with my family at Chateau de la Basmaignee in north west France.
My brother and his fiancé bought this building with some inheritance money three years ago and we are slowly restoring it to live in, and run as a business.
It’s always a financial struggle to keep the place going and we have to work hard to keep our heads above water, but we love it and wouldn’t have It any other way.
When they knew that they were buying the château, my brother asked me if I would like to move over and take part in their new adventure... so I packed my bags, gave up my life in England and moved here to help bring this place back to life.
We do all the renovations ourselves including construction, decorating and collecting antique furniture that we buy cheaply to restore. Our goal is to fill the château with beauty and life as it once was.
I have a passion for history, art and all things old.
These videos are a series of stories about my life and experiences living in a French castle.
We film and edit everything ourselves.
I’ll be showing all aspects of life here, from renovation and DIY, to crafts and baking, art, daily life and a bit of fun thrown in for good measure. There’s much more to see and our journey is still just beginning.

I actually cackled laughing when flappy bird says "open the door I need to vomit"... well done Michael. Loved it x
Oh I know! I burst out laughing. 😂
So agree lol🤣
Yes, me toooooooo!!!!!
Shewana Ahmed I laughed aloud too! 😷. “Kill the detective!” chirped the stuffed bird...
Shewana Ahmed, So did I 🤣
I, too, want a sander that starts playing classical music when I use it 4:39
I just noticed that!! 😂😂😂😂😂 dying with laughter xx
U want to hire Michael then? Sands & plays piano? 🎹🎵🎹
This made me spit out my drink laughing !
Best comment on this channel so far 😅🤣
Any ideas which piece that is? Or is it just royalty free stuff?
I could watch this channel on a continuous loop. Not only is our host the cutest bloke hes so sincere and so diligent in his work. Not only informative but very easy on the eyes. I really hope this channel blows up because he deserves it! Great job. Great channel. Can't wait to see how far they get along with this amazing project. Much love from NYC.
I couldn’t agree more in all avenues of this comment. He deserves quadruple the efforts he’s made- at minimum. It’s amazing how dedicated he is to the channel, restoration, friends, family, and creating content. Beatrix Potter would be so proud of him.
He is quite the cutie, and very intelligent too! 🙂
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets into entertainment business in the future. He’s a natural!!
I feel the same way!! MIchael, we love you, you are very handsome and talented....
I have never watched a channel that actually goes this far and makes a full production for the sponsor! It is absolutely phenomenal and I love it!! You definitely need more and more sponsors! You are so creative and I absolutely can't wait to see the cottage when it is finished!!
I see Michael and Stephanie are back to doing the absolute most.
The cat DENIES the charge of MURDER and declares the accusation a CATtastrophy!
The level to which this was filmed and edited is spectacular. Absolute perfection *chefs kiss*
The cat is innocent save the cat .
Maybe it was the dog! 🧐🤨
The cat was Framed, I say! Justice for the cat! 🐱
Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Micheal for inspiring me and my partner to start our own channel. We have been watching you for a number of months now and love what you do!! Thank you!!
This was so good, Michael!
❤️🐰I am absolutely delighted to see the little Beatrix Potter books I sent you on the upper shelf of your desk! It makes me so happy to know that you received them!🐰❤️
Thank you so much for the books. They are with my collection now xxxx
Oh, the little boxed set? My daughter had them. Idk what happened to them. She had lots but we only have a teapot left which I want to send to Michael but idk if he has one yet
To bring theater into your reality show is pure genius
Michael, the acting was phenomenal! As Stephanie, suitably, wore her Venetian Statue Crown and you debuted with the fresh shave and coat I knew this was a treat. The both of you make the best murder mystery crime solving duo! Although, I do believe Flappy Bird stole the show with his colloquial speech. Let’s also hope Le Chat Blanc doesn’t purrfect their murder tactics! Dun dun dun! The bloops were the cherry on top! Hahaha Thank you for another great video! - Maxximo Morabito
Orlando vegan :)
Hey, Orlando Vegan!!! Please tell me you’ve been to Dandelion CommuniTea Café, Loving Hut, Dixie Dharma, Valkyrie Donuts, and Market on South I believe it’s called! These are all my favorite places! Hope you’re having a great day! Also thank you to everyone liking my comment! I’ve never had so many likes on a CZcams comment.
Just in case you missed my comment last time: Lisa at the Chateau de Montmagner found out while restoring her own windows that changing the glass panes for thicker and therefore more energy efficient ones, didn't cost her that much and was easy to do since she had to change the putty anyway.
In theory a thicker pane glass sounds energy-efficient, yet it is not. To be truly efficient one needs double pane glass inserts with E-Gas inside...very expensive to make, plus the thickness in the end makes it difficult to install, have to end up modifying the windows.
@@ICUinthedark The gas does come out in several years time. It is the air space that is most insulating. Check out sound prodding and insulation videos. You can double pane old would windows with some retrofitting.
A little bit of DIY, and then a murder mystery. What more can anyone want? Thank you! ❤️
Love when you and Stephanie act together. Made my night!! Is there a first part to the murder mystery I've somehow missed?
@SMG Thank you!
It’s in my 5th video call restoring the grand staircase and 100k subscribers
@@DoingItOurselvesOfficial Thank you. On it now! 😃👍
The closeup of the rain in the wheelbarrow and dripping off the greenhouse was brilliant. Just magical. Well done, Michael!
Oh that's awesome! As soon as you said the door was teak, my immediate thought was "that's why it's so heavy!!" That's a really sturdy door!! Thanks for another great, and fun video!
Bravo! (and Brava!) the pair of you are genius. I love it and congrats on getting a sponsor.
I wonder if there will be more such theatrics when you are at Lalande, we can surely hope!
Michael wrap sandpaper round small block of wood easier on the hands when sanding small places x
Right. And it's easier to sand the wood directly next to the window panes.
I was going to say sandpaper around a flat head screw driver to get at those small edges!
Sheila Milliken In Canada we have sanding sponges about 3”x5” that mould to odd or awkwardly shaped wood. I can’t believe they are not available in France.
The 1920s moustache and hair really suit you. Very dashing inspector Petherique!!!
Detective
Add a hat. No self respecting man in the '20s would be seen outside without a hat. Even workmen/farmers would wear a flat cap. Try something a little more formal for a detective. 🕵🏻
Michael, just love your videos. They are visual and auditory medicine for a stressful world. Your combination of nature shots and perfectly matching music are absolutely wonderful!!! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts. They are soo appreciated.
Fab! Love the clipped English accent, and Stephanie has morphed into sounding just like Isabelle!
I thought the same thing. She sounds so very much like her mother in this video!
OMG. Yes!!!
Me too! Sounded exacted like her mother.
Almost thought she was just lip syncing to Isabelle doing the dialogue.
Lynn Sandusky yes, she sounds just like her mum.
Invest in a “detail sander” little triangle. You’ll use it 10000 times on all your projects.
I believe they already have one. I seem to remember watching him use it in the video where he was finishing the main staircase. I think it was more a case of not knowing where it was, as he mentioned the place is huge and you could spend an hour looking for one tool :)
A scrap block of wood will also do the job in a pinch!
10,000 times...more like 10,001!
OMG guys! The detective and Madam Mystery’s accents are perfection! 😂
When Michael goes "Ah ha!" it reminds me of Doctor Bombay on Bewitched. :-)
Ahh the murder mystery was hilarious!! The posh accent was very on point! 😂
i do wish ,someone would get on restoring the greenhouse,it is a beauty
Hopefully before spring so they can use it next year
We need a fund for it
All good things come in time.
soon will ask for more funds as always
I loved the ending!!! hahahahaah....I use to love when you an Stephanie did the phone calls to!
You tease! I can’t wait to see the door painted and in place! It’s going to be fantastic. 😄
Great intro Micheal.
My two favourite people having fun together for us .
You looked so debonair Micheal..and Stephaine so sophisticated.
Really enjoyed this..more please.
The music choice is so relaxing
Hilarious, can't get enough of Micheal and Stephanie together. So entertaining :)
Loved your photography of the rain and the wheelbarrow, etc. - beautiful and so peaceful.
Only Michael can make a rough messy old scruffy wheelbarrow look amazing.
Romanticizing anything
Always a pleasure to watch. I give you a standing ovation. Bravo... !
So happy M. Mystery is back helping detective Petherick 😊 you two acted your hearts out, I had a blast watching!
Love the door and what you are doing with it. The windows of the Chateau look like they have a cross on each. so beautiful! So teak wood? This is going to be amazing...
Love the accent from frightfully well bred to a little bit estuary! Brilliant.
Whoever is helping you with the filming is doing a really good job! 🥰
I am so in love with this cottage I could cry.
So thrilled to have the theatrical drama back! We loved the bloopers, too!
I was having such a bad day and this made it all better! So well done I was blown away! And I couldn’t stop smiling! The opening credits were so good and then the acting and the lines and the editing omg Michael this was some of your best work yet! I’m gonna watch it a million times more!!
I have been watching your channel since lockdown started! You & Stephanie are a great double act, very talented!
😀🤗 I am looking forward to seeing the cottage restoration! I’m sure that you will do it justice and make it as true to Beatrix Potter’s home as possible 😀 it will be a great landmark in France 🇫🇷😁💕
In the intro, with the lovely music and rain, the window panes on the front of your home resemble Christian crosses. A whole different look with that mindset. Love what you are doing, Michael.
Bonkers, but I loved it 😂😂
I love these little breaks from reality. They are so fun and entertaining. Pish posh to those who don't like them.😉
I love them, we have country vistas similar to France. (In some areas), love it! My husband and I picnic there.
I love when you do the detective!!!
The white fluffy kitty killed NO ONE! It was FRAMED!
What a fun vlog! Always love the music you choose Michael and the segways into the various scenes. The 'Dectective Series' was absolutely adorable. Both you and Stephanie have such presence on 'the screen' very good acting in fact. The script was delightful. You should also think about having Michael Potts to write a play and you and Stephanie and others could act it out. I really like the old time mysteries and miss them on TV. Love seeing the cottage work. I will have to try out the new putty product on some repair things I need to attend to around here. Have a great weekend. It is Labor Day weekend here so Monday is a Holiday here in the States and that means cookouts, beach walks, music fun times.
Michael.....when you have to sand inside or even when you're cleaning the inside of the cottage, take a least 1 box/floor fan & place it in the doorway or an open window. It will draw out most of the dust that is stirred up & keep things a bit cleaner. Also, if you don't have the right size of sander or a sanding block/sponge, take 2 pieces of scrap wood 2.54 cm x 5.08 cm x 20.32 cm & wrap a piece of sand paper around 1 piece with the ends meeting in the middle of one side. Take the other piece & lay it on top of the wrapped piece & nail/staple it down to the sandpaper-wrapped piece. Now use the smaller flat surface & the corners of the covered piece to sand tight areas & corners, etc. Also, there is a natural safe paint-removing gel in the US that you can apply to wood surfaces & then cover with kitchen plastic wrap & leave overnight. It causes all the old paint to bubble up & separate from the wood so that you can just scrape it off & have very little to sand. It saves a lot of time & work. And there is a resin that you can apply to rotted & internally-damaged wood to preserve it. It soaks into the rotted/damaged wood & hardens it so that you can apply any needed wood filler, sand the wood & paint it. This can save you from having to remove or replace any wood. I enjoy watching it rain at the chateau, as well as the sound of it. Very neat additional story line with the mystery.
Use a little liquid soap on the inside of the goggles (very little so it doesn’t burn you eyes). The same happens while scuba diving.
The other fix is spit. Also works. Brush your teeth first 🙃
Lol i use spit too ☺️
Clean inside of goggles with toothpaste, rinse well then each time u use them a little spit on inside, never fog up! Standard routine when diving so will work for your goggles !
@@neenmach Also works with eyeglasses and mask wearing. 😷
Looking forward to seeing how the gorgeous Teak door turns out ... and the Mystery with Lady Mystery was so much fun. Love you and Stephanie and enjoy seeing progress made at the Chateau’s. Also, really enjoy how you put your vlog together, the music and the way it is filmed. Bless!
I say, get your hoover over to the cottage and vacuum the ceiling, door, windows so you can paint in there.
That was fabulous!!!! I love when you and Stephanie act together!!!!
I love the mystery that was hilarious the bird was superb. You guys did good. How did you do that without cracking up all the time
What a hoot - brilliant- loved it
Ah Michael and Stephanie at it again. Flappy bird got all the best lines though. 😂🤣😂
Not sure if I’ve said this before but I’ll say it anyway. Usually I watch CZcams at 1.5 times sped up because there’s more content than I have time for but whenever you upload I slow it down to normal speed because it seems wrong to rush through. Always appreciate your effort, content, authenticity and humour. 🙏
Hilarious!! Detective Petherick and Madame Mystery.... Flappy Bird cracked me up!
We need more of this... loved it, you two are magic together 💗🤣🤣🤣
Who needs Miss Marple
😉
Chateau rain montage + minty hot chocolate with mini mashmallows = WIN
That was perfection and exactly what I've been waiting for, for months! Applause ! Bravo! You are both made for theater and comedy!
Well done guys this was very entertaining, love watching doing it ourselves. Can’t believe it’s been over a year ago that we stayed at your beautiful chateau and so much has changed and progressed already can’t wait to come back. X
Well. Too much fun. All the effort that has gone into the script and the whole production. Your friendship is great to behold. Keep it up. Love from Canada!
You should continue to make these “Detective “ videos and add them once in awhile, as a side story. 😉 I have 3 boys who for a long time made videos at each others homes. We also lived in a desert where many movies and tv are made! So much fun to make videos in the same place! Don’t ever lose that “fun” in your life ❤️☺️👍
Love the background music!! Mystery movie so funny... thanks again!!
Dang another outstanding intro! I literally just stared at my screen and zoned out while watching. Michael you are killing it mate!
AHA! Mystery solved! This channel is NOT about renovating a chateau after all! LOL
It’s kind of about whatever mood I’m in that day... 😂😂😂 something for everyone! It’s not always work here, sometimes you need to just have fun.
I know Michael, I was just having fun with YOU! 😉
I adore you and your channel. With love, I believe you need to have two channels. One for “Doing it Ourselves” which is all about diy, construction, etc. Another for your amazingly beautiful travels, your ability to capture beauty with music. Oh then, a cooking channel? And an acting one with your amazingly cast of characters? You have so many talents, it’s hard to rein it in on one channel. I’d subscribe to them all. Be well. ❤️
A cat in prison for 100 years, that was funny. Thanks for the performance. Your chateau is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen and the relaxing music is beautiful. Thank You Michael for share your life with us.🤗
But cats only have 9 lives
Of course we know flappy bird enticed the poor innocent cat into doing the dastardly deed! Haha! Great job with the front door! It is coming along nicely!
10/10 would recommend Junes Journey, I am currently on level 612. The visuals are simply stunning, and it is a great way to wind down at the end of the day!
I love these silly things.
Do you and Stephanie still plan to start a new channel together focused on exploring chateaus around France?
I believe that it is postponed until corona rules have loosened. My bet it won't be till we're all happily out and about.... vaccinated 😉. Also, they are both so busy with their own plans right now?
@@-AuburnWaves If we are locked away everytime there is a bug around we will never be happily out and about. Best wishes.
You and Stephanie have far too much fun doing those skits lol I love it!
Loving the out takes. Looking forward to seeing the next episode
That was great Michael and team. I have played June's Journey for over a year now. Love it.
Well done! What a treat.
My Dad would take scrape blocks of wood to size he needed for the area, add the sandpaper to the block, it made it easier to sand in those small areas. Good job!
Great seeing your dad 👍 You are doing a fab job sanding the door and can't wait to see it painted....
The most gorgeous B roll on CZcams.
This was great! I just love when you and stephanie does this murder mystery Together! It is so clever and funny. More of this😁👏👏🙌
Michael you are truly a cinematographer. you know how to draw us in and create a mood. Applause, applause, now take a bow!
Loved this vlog. You and Stephanie are fab!!!!!!! ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅
Please give us more detective stories. It’s a bit Michael Palin and the Monty Python logic with Inspector Clouseau. Madam Mystery and Flappy Bird are genius acting! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
If you do give more please put them on a different playlist
Good morning from James in Australia. I have been enjoying your posts and if I were better off financially I would happily support your endeavours. But I am here in spirit for you.
Hahaha.michael!! That was so hilarious your acting with steph..The cat was the killer!lol.and the bird was fedup with everything..So funny seeing you acting in black and white..Junes jorney is a wonderful game to play..is my favor..thank you for intertaining us.good luck with the cottage.
I do hope the cat has a reputable solicitor to represent him and to keep him out of the clink! He is just to adorable to be found guilty of anything other than leaving behind an occasional fur ball.
Hi from San Jose, California! Love the atmosphere of your vlogs!
Adorable! June Parker has nothing on the dashing and wily Detective Petherick!
Great video. Your Dad is a gentleman. 💗💗
Have you thought of getting a dremel? Great for working on fine or small things. I used it alot making prototype and models years ago. They are cheap and make this type work much easier.
Very good suggestion.
Great idea and they come with tons of different ends, so they're super versatile. They're small enough to get into the tiniest engravings and routed wood designs, too. You might want to practice on scrapwood first, though, because if it runs off on you, you can damage your piece. I've used them for years customizing model horses, carving wood, and just about every project that has tight spaces.
OMGEEEEEEE, I had to stop mid movie to say, you guysssss, what???? I love this, Love, Love, can't get enough, and I even lov4 it!!!
Ever notice that Stephanie sounds exactly like Mummy when she speaks with a French accent? 🇫🇷🐈🦚🏰💐
MICHAEL THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE MOST ENTERTAINING OFFERING .. YOU ARE EXCEEDINGLY TALENTED .. THERE SEEMS LITTLE THAT YOU WILL NOT CHALLENGE .. ALWAYS THE PERFORMANCE REMAINS OVERWHELMINGLY ENTERTAINING .. ALWAYS PERSONIFIED EXCELLENCE .. DOING IT OURSELVES GETS A THUMBS UP ALL ROUND .. STAY WEIRDLY WONDERFUL ESPECIALLY .. B .. XOXO ❤
Oh its teak!!! I know it will be beautiful painted. But teak is the most beautiful color when varnished.
(Moira Ashton). I loved the murder mystery, the canary had a great script!!! And I LOVED the out takes at the end!! Especially when Michael shut the door and just said "Ye, That'll do" it just made me laugh!!! The door to the cottage is coming on well!!!🏰💗💕
The bird cracked me up! Best bird in a supporting role nominee.
WOW! Michael! You outdid yourself. Beautiful photography and lovely music. Congrats! Stay safe.
From his very first video, I saw a strong resemblance of Michael to George Blagden who played Louis XIV in the tv series “Versailles.” I see it more than ever in this video with Michael’s acting. Wonderful video!
Your black and white murder mystery was sooo campy and a hoot!!! What fun! 🏰😼🐦🌹📄🕯🎭🇫🇷🇬🇧👑🔍🎞
