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 Mum is an incredible woman! Physically strong and willing to tackle anything, including heavy granite paving stones. My hat is off to her in admiration...
Seriously, your Mum is WONDER WOMAN !…… she’s up for any challenge!👏👏👏
I’m tiling 128 sf of a covered porch. I’m 65. The girl at the Home Depot asked who I hired to install it. When I told I was doing it, she looked at me in amazement. I f she only knew what I’ve been watching🤣🤣😃
Ok, here’s the trick. Stand in your garden and say, very loudly, ‘that does it, we are definitely not planning to do any gardening or laundry tomorrow’. The next day you will find clear blue skys, gentle breeze and sunshine.😊it works every time for me 😁
Noticed the spider right away near Tracey's head. I don't think I would have hung around there. Tracey really is amazing
Spiders living their best life at the chateau! I see a t-shirt with spiders on it stating "Living the Chateau Life"! 😆😆😆🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷
As for the product endorsement, Tracy looks so good because of her fantastic attitude, always smiling and cheerful.
Massive kudos to the group for accomplishing a monumental task. The best part is it is done! Bad weather, stuck drill bits and ‘zombie’ spiders didn’t stop you . What a wonderful addition the post lights and fountains will be for ambience around the chateau grounds. ❤🏰
Never a dull moment at LaLacelle! 🤩🤩🤩
Soap! Use soap to pull it out. Squirt soap in the hole for lubrication. Works on screws for drilling into hard surfaces. What a job! Such a relief to have done. I can't wait to see the lights shining brightly.
A suggestion cover your electric cables with gravel so you are less likely to cut them when gardening etc.... voice of experience.
The lanterns and fountains are going to be such a nice addition. That is so funny what Tracy said about the fountains 😂
Long as you keep your sense of humour and expect the unexpected! You have won the battle..😂
Your mom is wonderful, a very strong person in every way. 💕
The Dream Team has encountered many problems (spiders!) and aced them all. So impressed how well you carry on with what needs to be done when even the elements are against you. Bravo!👏🏻👍
Glad to see Patrick is on the job supervising. Thank you.
No fish no cherubs. A mantra for living!
To prevent your drill bit from binding, use a little stream of water to cool the bit, plunge & retract the drill frequently to remove debris. Take your time!
Note: Drilling another hole alongside a stuck bit will ruin both bits. ❤️🙏
I've managed to unstick drill bits by turning them anti-clockwise with a big pipe wrench. The worst DIY drilling job I've had so far was a 35 mm hole through a stone wall with a timber frame (fairly substantial structural timbers) and plaster & lath in front of it. Getting through that into the space between the posts was easy but as soon as I tried to get deeper into the stone I got stuck. I eventually gave up and routed my cables a different way.
What a day! I don’t know how Tracy could have worked with those spiders all around her! She is fearless! Nice job on the conduit placement even in such bad weather. The fountain is magnificent! Love it! 😊
Dont forget to keep a record of the runs of electrical cables on the outside of the Chateau ..front and back. Notes of their voltage and amps etc too. Might be handy for later work.😊
Beautiful Tracy, Wonder Woman !
You are all amazing, no matter the job you don't shy away from it; and you are able to smile and laugh through the rough spots! If it were me, the audio would have to have been off the whole time LOL. You're an inspiration. Congratulations on a nasty job well done. And Terry, those spiders would freak me out, too!!! Michael
Hope you can get better as soon as possible, Ash. 💞
I totally empathise with those white zombie things especially in the basement always horrid spiders lurking there so bravehearts working in those conditions
Tanya is hilarious 😹
Love lord Patrick. Don't like spiders either. Happy Everything
A cherub and a fish cracked me up! Terry, the spiders would creep me out as well. You almost expect them to suddenly leap at you or something. I’m glad you got a job you’ve dreaded done in between rain and thank goodness for good friends. xx
Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
As for the drill bits, my thought was to come through from the other side to push them out; looks like that's what you did in the end. Try not to let the zombie spiders creep you out too much; I live in Florida, where we have all sorts of creepy-crawlies, including huge flying cockroaches that will fly right at your face! One of my friends back in high school got one of those up her pants leg during a party her parents were having; she ran screaming through the party, rapidly taking off her pants along the way, while the adults looked on in bewilderment. 😄
What a big job, it is massive achievement.... Will change the whole look having lights outside...I love the fish cherub story
What an ordeal! Eeeeeek 🕷 no no and more NO!!!! Oh my word, loving the fountain❤❤❤❤ ⛲️
I love how you always make things a lilbit nicer!❤ Good job 😊
Sorry to hear Ashley is unwell, get well sunshine! A very hard work day in this episode, but you achieved your goal, well done. Love as always from County Durham xxx ❤
Spray the walls in the basements with a mixture of peppermint essential oil and water. Spiders do not like the peppermint and stay away. It works for me.
Now that is what I call a drill bit Holy cow that is long.,Go Tracy !!!
You never cease to amaze me. You really do your due diligence before you start a project. You take your time and do such a nice job.
Another “just job” done👏🏻
looks like a job well done, just a sugestion is to make sure that your electrics are capable off up grading for spot lights to up light the fountains at night your christmas tree and any other external lights to illuminate the chateau at night..
great job will look amazing when its done

Gutted I missed the live… no signal 🙄🙄🤣 it’s never a boring day when it includes a mini digger!!! I nearly lost my tea on the fountain info 🤣🤣🤣 and unless you have done it yourself you don’t realise how much hard work goes into ground works !! You done a great job 👏🏼 and it’s one of the not so nice jobs out of the way, can’t wait to see the fountains 😍😍😍
April showers bring May flowers.
Always busy doing something never a dull moment ❤
Kudos to Tracy for making friends with the spiders!!
What ideas did BricoMark have about freeing the stuck drill bits? Did he say why they jammed? Would using a wet drill for drilling through stone help? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
Today was clearly very challenging for you all on so many levels. So impressive to see the smiles and camaraderie front and centre through it all. Well done, team!
Glad you finally made it though. What you said about and Tracy and the fountain was to funny.
Progress is always interesting! I will say that I have never seen 2 drill bits stuck in 1hole before!! 😮 Look forward to seeing all the work done come in to play later. 😊
Thanks 👍
Oh, the irony! The best part will be Tracy is going to LOVE the fountains when they're in place and burbling with water. This task is rather heroic, especially the third time's the charm drill bit! Great work, everyone.
I really dig Patrick and Tracy , well done !
That area looks SO spidery!😮
Emphasis on the SO 😂
Oh, how I hate spiders! Tanya made me laugh.
Tracy, you are amazing. Your smile is infectious.
Awesome job on the conduit. Three drills worked the magic.
I have seen a lot of flooding in France in many videos. I hope the weather improves soon. ❤
What a day but you all nailed it in the end 🤗👍
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Good work with all that. I hope you have a great evening! I love your Mom. She is amazing.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again and you will drill a hole in the wall 😊 I feel for you working in the biting wind. I like the fountain you showed us, two of them with lamp post will be lovely ❤ 😊
I hope one day when you open a wall or turn over a stone that you find a goldmine! You all deserve it!❤
Tracey makes dreams come true! You guys are so blessed to have her!
It might be an idea to make drawings of your plumbing and electrical for the future. Wish we had done that on jobs we accomplished years ago. You think you will remember, but it becomes vague at best. Good job achieved. Many hands are a big help. Best wishes.
I have so much respect for you all,you work so hard & everything is coming together now.❤
If there’s any digging to be done there’s Patrick at the ready. Love him!
So happy to see the big boss on the site today... Patrick oversees the project
Good to see the digger is working well! Place will look stunning once the lights and fountains are installed
Admire and respect your Mum hugely. She is hardworking, always cheerful, and just gets on with the job. It's a bonus she is a Geordie too, I love the North East Brits, salt of the earth, and they have a wonderful, warm accent. ❤
Edit: She is without doubt a very attractive lady too!
You might think the job is boring for us but we are truly entertained by you all
Hugs everyone from the States, Utah! Thank you for being my escape! I get so excited to see what you are working on! You are all amazing!!
Thank you so much!☺️
I can't wait to see the fountains!
What a gruelling task! but well done all on completing it in such dreadful weather. Another 'just job' ticked off the list. 👍
Terry, you still have 4 drill bits, you have just found a new way to store them 😢😂❤Good luck ❤
It's raining here all the time😩too. Done alot today good job, sorry Tracy when you told Terry no fish or cherubs and he only saw them I just laugh sorry, my love
Mind you they were not so bad as he said you are going to need large one,s. Between them and the lights going to look wonderful. Terry is right everything is coming along so quickly brilliant. 👏👏👍Love Jones family XXX
Ashley I mean when I laughed, it was, t at Tracy it was Terry eyes he has laughing eyes like my Son Jamie he smiles and laughs with his eyes. Terry's eyes sparkling 😅. XX
Looks like Ash is at the controls.... Look out! LOL
Every one of your projects is incredibly challenging. But you always triumph! You are amazing people.
Your chateau is the most beautiful of all on CZcams.. terry your taste is beyond extraordinary .. and what a great mom and partner in Ash… loving the style and good taste you bring to every thing you touch.. well done !!
I love to watch you guys. Because you always seem to mark things off the list. And I'm definitely at list Maker.I enjoy that kind of stuff so this is really good
Always entertaining watching you tackle any difficult challenges with grace! I love watching all your various projects.
It's just amazing what you tackle and achieve. Well done Its going to be beautiful.
Of course it's Tracy getting the drill bits out!! 🤣So exciting to see you starting on the front garden, I can't wait to see it all plumbed in. Great work team!
A great idea is to have a maintenance list map of where yous have your electrical wiring, plumbing pipes...other than only yous who know where everything is. It's invaluable for future references. Great work.
👍🏿❤
Great work and progress today, Terry, Ash and Tracy! Thank goodness for BricoMark and his skills, too! Loved when Tanya was winding up Terry about the zombie spider! 😂 Tracy is so funny about her fishy cherubs! The lamp posts at the gates will be amazing and so will the fountain be! Can’t wait to see them installed! ❤️
I would be in hazmat gear clearing spiders with a vacuum and spraying to make sure they didn't come back lol I'm terrified of crawlies, a real phobia. I stepped on a beetle when I was little and it bit into my foot, Dad had to take me to urgent care to get it off and my whole foot had swollen up. We still don't know what kind of beetle it was but it was big.
Picture this.. A June Bug got in the house, it was under the dining table on the floor flitting and I (in my 60's) am on a Chair with a butterfly net, crying in panic. Mom in her 80's comes to the rescue, picks it up and puts it back outside, then turns and says to me "get down before you fall down" while laughing with restraint. I appreciate your heebie jeebies not knowing where that spider went OMG! My next thought was, I bet he tossed his clothes in the washer and ran to the tub in his birthday suit - cuz that would be me 🤣 🕷🕸🏃♀🚿 Chateau Streaker haha
You are a gas woman😊😊😊. I’d be the same with the HazMet suit😂😂😂
I think it's now time for some of Terry Ash and Tracy's visitors to your vlogs to have a little branch out to see what Bricomark chanel is doing. I've just watched Tanya doing a vlog for the 400 suite it was excellent. Let's try and boost Bricomark's numbers. Xxx
Yikes!!! SPIDERS!!! 🥰🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Добрый вечер❤
Мне очень нравятся ваши реставрационные работы!!😅😅🎉
Super robota. Miło się ogląda.
You need a good pointed spade to dig with and a shovel to cover it up! So much easier ti dig with a spade. Tough job!
You should get the vacuum out and vacuum up all those scary spiders
What a massive job! Congratulations on seeing it through under such difficult weather conditions, tool jamming, and zombie spiders!
I watch to many archaeology shows and Time Team… when you dig a ditch near a path or A Chateau wall i’m thinking get the metal detector out!!
Great work guys
Oh dear! The ghost spiders were definitely the worst of it! I would guess not alive/dead, but rather in dormant torpor state through the season. Some spider produce an antifreeze, which I'm guessing your spiders are doing in their suspended animation state to survive the cold. I don't think i could stand being around them either!
It will look great when it is done. You will need a water source for the fountians, the wind always blew and splattered the water from ours and it would need constant refilling. Why not use solar for your outside lighting?
The spider part, omg I so laughed and trust Tanya to play with them. OMG priceless!
😂😂😂
I don’t think I could work next to the zombie spiders. I would have a very nice service for them and even sing a few hymns, but I would bury them very deep 😂😂😂❤
Your mom is a brave woman working next to the zombie spiders 🕷️ I’d be long gone and screaming 😂😂😂😂😂Brilliant job all around 😍😘
Huge undertaking, can't wait to see the lights and especially the fountains up and going.
Looking forward to laying out the front garden with you this Spring! See you soon!
We can not wait to get started on it 🥰
What a job that was! I think they will look wonderful as will the beautiful fountains....with or without fish and cherubs, lol!
Maybe Solar would have worked to run the lights at the gates??
I’m with your mom on no fish or cherubs! But those do look nice. ☺️
Terry, "I loved your commentary of the spiders in your cellar, "freaking you out" 😅😊
You folks are remarkable in your determination in all that you do to achieve your dreams. Just absolutely superb!
Terry says ChaTeau now! Great to hear it. You all are fantastic and such fun to watch . Thank you soooo much!
How about the drills. Are they still in the wall?
Can’t wait to see the fountains and the lights. The white spider was eerie but also cool.
Another great video! Hope Ash feels better soon. I love watching Tracy drilling through the stones for the wires. Looking forward to seeing the lights in place and the fountains. ❤
