This is not the end of our channel. Please continue to stick with us, as work will carry on at the chateau until the very very end (probably months away!)! There may even be a new project in the UK on the horizon!
I wish you all the best in your transition. I don't think it will take long to sell, the work you have done is true art. You are extremely talented all of you. I look forward to seeing where your future takes you and thank you for being willing to take us with you into the future. Sending lots of love.
Phew , would miss your videos!
Carol, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry. I have enjoyed watching your and Adrian's hard work. I will follow along, not to worry. What's the saying? When one door closes, ............
Most definitely😉
PG Tips I certainly will continue to follow u both in whatever u end up doing !!! You can’t keep me away so there 👏👏👏👏👍🙏🏻🙏🏻😂😂
You’ll be greatly missed. No one does chateaux renovations to the level you do, that I’ve seen.
Agreed 100%!!!❤
Big hugs, one day at a time. ❤
Thank you 😊
Dear Carole & Adrian, I am stunned hearing the news, I’m sure you’ve explored every avenue for not selling & keeping the Chateau, it’s apart of you both & us viewers. My CZcams won’t be the same without you, I do hope we see you in some way in the future! Bless you both, John in Monmouth xx
Don’t worry we’re not l saving the channel!
You’ve been a class act in the chateauverse and one others should aspire to emulate. I’ve been very impressed with the extraordinary grueling work you’ve meticulously completed and the enormous respect you show one another. You’ve not expected subscribers to fund your lifestyle and the renovations. Beth, your editing is spot on and I love your support for your parents. Adrian and Carole - everything happens for a reason. Feel proud for what you’ve accomplished and the work you’ll continue in the interim pre-sale. Family is more important than anything and your priorities are in the right place. ✌🏼
Thank you 😊
I can’t imagine that the chateau would be sold. Too much work has already occurred. Carole and Adrian are so talented it would be a shame to see incomplete work.
I completely agree ive watched since day one i want to see it finished im already vested in this journey
😢 noooo
😢😢😢 I think it hurts you too both of you put your heart and soul into the chateau but being cl9se to family is important too material stuff can be replaced but not family ❤❤❤
Sad to watch that you may sell the chateau after all the hard and incredibly meticulous work you have both put into. It has obviously been a heartbreaking decision to make but understandable. Cheers to 🥂all the work you have put into this project and look forward to seeing your future projects.
Thanks to Bethany for all her fantastic editing and will continue watching.
This is soooo sad. My husband and I have worked on many homes throughout the years and know the amount of money, time and effort involved in renovations. I hope you find peace in where you land and know that you are loved and respected by this community. Hope we see you again on some future project or if not, that your lives rebound in the best possible way. ❤
Thank you Penny😊
Your journey has been remarkable with the chateau and as sad as it may seem, I will always appreciate the wonderful improvements you've accomplished. The salon project is the best chateau DIY project I've ever seen and for you to be able to share that experience and give this structure a second chance, is commendable.
Congratulations on the new granddaughter. Hope you’ll continue to share your adventures if/when you sell up. I’m sure the little terraced house will look wonderful once you work your magic on it.
Well, I was cetainly not expecting to read the words posted in your episode description. I shall watch along with the rest of your subscribers when the video goes live. No matter what happened just know we love you and wish for the best.
😢I truly feel awfully sad for Carole! Well, you both😊 very surprised to hear your news! ❤ really enjoyed watching you both create your visions in the château!
Aw. Family comes first, no matter what.
But seeing Carol cry really broke my heart.
It will be a huge change from living in the chateau to live in the house in the UK.
I hope the Chateau will be sold to some one who continues the hard work and will share the love you obviously have for it
First and foremost, thank you for taking us along on your grand adventure. The planning, hard work and heart you both have put into this project has been inspiring to watch. Have to admit, you are not the only one with teary eyes Carole. Absolutely sure many of your “CZcams” family are sharing the mixed emotions you must be experiencing. Beth, you have done a masterful job of editing and production. Very professional and a joy to watch. Wishing you and yours all the best now and in the future.
So very sad, indeed! But whatever your next endeavor, I'm sure you will put the same love and care.
Thank you so much!
You have done such a brilliant job with the chateau. I would love to see you finish it. Especially the kitchen
Of course everyone will be sad as we love what you have done and hoped to see it through to completion. But it's your lives.
Find a manor home in the UK quickly!!!!!
@@dianayanda1411 UK property prices are what drive people to look for french chateaux in the first place. There slim to zero chance of getting a habitable house of reasonable size in the UK at a reasonable price
Loved watching all you've both done to the chateau. So sad that you're leaving.
I could never get over how hard you work. Replacing joists , floors , wiring and all of the intricate gold leaf work.The finished rooms are gorgeous and the gardens are looking great.
Whoever buys it is getting a fantastic deal. Best of luck in the future. 🥰
Thank you so much!
Endings are never easy, but new beginnings are really exciting too! With all the amazing support surrounding you, I’m sure you will go from strength to strength when the next chapter arises. Exciting times! 😍
I hope so too!
Regardless if you’re in France or Britain you’re still on my must see subscription list! I certainly understand family demands. As a great grandmother I am aware of how fast the children grow and those moments can’t be recaptured. Much love to you all
My heart is broken. I was so excited to see what was going to happen next. I want you both to be happy good luck in what ever happens. Hope it doesn’t sell for awhile ❤️❤️❤️
Sucker punched... devistated...can't believe it. Carol, that chateau meant so much to you. We all saw the dedication and artistry with which you lovingly were restoring it. The sudden announcement of listing the chateau was so stunning. Of course, I wish you the very best in whatever the future holds for you and Adrian. ❤
Thank you 😊
I've never posted on here before despite watching your progress on the chateau for many months . I think everyone can sympathise with your predicament , the time spent travelling , family issues and now a new baby on the way must all take precedence . You have both made a fabulous job of the house so far and have kept us all enthralled with your expert hard work and antics . I'm sure i echo the thoughts of so many when i say i wish you all the very best of luck .
Thank you 😊
I am gutted for you! Not what I was expecting to hear today from your wonderful channel. I wish you all the best! ❤
I hope everything is well in your lives. You are an adorable family. The important thing is that you all are doing well. I appreciate all the beautiful things you shared in your videos. Sending you all my love. Hugs.
Exactly, wonderful folks!
Thank you so much!
You both contributed your skill and talents to preserving this chateau znd it is beautiful. It’s huge but not so huge that it’s impossible for modern day people. You are both so talented. I hope you can find a property to renovate that is close enough to your business and family because you have a love and passion for beautiful old architecture, and you are so talented. I know you already renovated an English cottage, and found it to be somewhat dark inside, and I know the prices are high, but maybe you can find something that isn’t dark and cramped but also not too expensive.
That’s the plan 😊
Congratulations on the grand baby!! I’m so awfully sorry that you have had to make this kind of decision!! Couldn’t of been easy really, You guys have been incredible.
I have so enjoyed this channel! Its sad to have this come to an end, but at the end of the day, you all have to do whats right for your family! Ill watch until the end! Best of luck!
Sorry to hear this guys. It is a tough time for many, especially in the UK. I appreciate that it must have been a really hard decision and that your are both entrepreneurs & therefore know when a change direction is needed for family & business needs. All the best to each & everyone of you. x
Thank you 😊
Gorgeous news for all of you.
Selfishly heartbreaking news for all of us who have loved your adventure.
I think the old boy should buy Carol a stately home that needs some love in the UK 😮
Congratulations on your new grand baby! I’ve admired how you all have been so open about your lives. Not many folks are able to do that and you remind us all that life is a roller coaster and we must soldier on. Very inspirational! You will still be one of my favorite channels ❤
Thank you Laura 😊
Ohhh, this is making me incredibly sad
Well what a shock!! I will miss you so much but totally understand. You guys have to do what is best for yourselves. Best of luck!!!
I was so hoping to see the Christmas tree in the beautiful salon this year! Good luck with your future endeavors. I’ll miss seeing this beautiful chateau.
Never say never 😊
I’m so sad to hear this but totally understand your reasoning behind such a difficult decision. You should be very proud of what you have both achieved at the chateau, such an amazing accomplishment! I wish you all the best with the relocation and would love to see the new place in the UK once it’s decorated 😊
I couldn't believe it when I saw the listing. I live vicariously through you two and hope and dream that in the near future I can buy one for myself. Much ❤ to you both.
Respect and support for you in this difficult decision. Will sure miss your videos, hope the future has a place for more😊♥️🇿🇦
I love visiting you guys twice a week and watching you make the chateau beautiful again. I’m so sorry to hear this but completely understand. Congratulations on the new granddaughter on the way!!! Family comes first in my book.❤
Thank you 😊
I like how you focused on the great news of your new grand baby. Not the video I expected, but I will be watching till the final curtain and more exciting, your next chapter. Thank you so much for giving all of us a glimpse into your world. I also think the stairwell wall in the terrace house would look great with the Morris print paper. And you can clearly make a proper French staircase to get rid of the 70s vibe. I was picturing a lot of changes for the England home. It may be small, but you can posh that up.
Watch this space!!
If it were this time next year I would make you an offer on the spot. I’ve watched literally every video and feel like I know the Chateau better than I would after a regular estate agent viewing! I have always thought your Chateau perfect, it’s exactly what my husband and I are hoping to find and I’ve secretly always wished you would sell, so we could buy it, but never imagined you would. In fact we’ve been “window shopping” for a few years (my parents live outside Toulouse) and never seen anything as perfect. Sadly, we aren’t quite ready to make the move because our kids need to finish high school first. I can’t imagine it won’t sell quickly but if it’s still on the market in 12 months, I will be reaching out! Adrian we would totally let you come back and continue your work! Carole you could come back and sunbathe anytime! Congratulations on the new grand baby.
Thank you 😊
You guys are great! So good to see you put your family first! Good work will come back to you. I can’t wait to see your changes on your UK home. More adventures coming your way. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
I just want to say from the bottom of my heart what a pleasure and inspiration it has been to watch your journey. I live in a similar size and age property in a remote part of Wales. Living in and renovating a large old building is very overwhelming! For us it took 6 years before we really started to reap the rewards and of course the maintenance never stops. What you have both achieved is simply extraordinary especially in such a short space of time. Is there anyway you could get (known and trusted) volunteers to live and work at the chateaux while you sort things out with your company in England? Just an idea. Whatever you decide I have no doubt you will make a complete success of it. Also don't ever forget that thanks entirely to your skill, determination and love the very beautiful Chateau 'de le Ferte now has a future.
Yes. Hoping it goes into similar hands!
Aww. Sorry to see you guys end a wonderful channel. The chateau work has been so much fun but I’m sure you realized how much of your family life you are missing. Thank you so much for the years of great vids and my looking forward always to Wednesday and Sunday.
I wish you both the best and I'm sure whatever you do in the future you will do well. I have really enjoyed the channel. Congrats on the new grandchild. 🥰🇨🇦
Thank you so much!
WHAT!!!!!! nooooooooooooooooooooo All that hard work you guys put into. --I will wait and hear
Your channel has been my go to every Wednesday and Sunday. You are such hard working creative people ❤. Best wishes
Thank you so much 😀
So sorry to hear this! I know you would have finished the chateau beautifully! Will continue to watch as long as you are on. Such a neat couple.
It is tough to live two lives. I’ve enjoyed your videos and seeing all of your work. All the best from Calgary, 🇨🇦
Thanks so much!
Our not giving up on the chateau your doing brilliant work with it please don't give up 😢
Well, Carole held it together better than me - I’m sat here with tears rolling down my cheeks.
Whatever your future holds, I wish you all the very best of luck. Thank you for sharing this phase of your lives with all of us who love dropping in to see what's new every week.
I'll definitely keep watching. Even if the chateau sells, I hope you'll keep making videos. I would be very interested to see how you renovate the house in England. I bet Val and Alph would love to help transform the garden, too. You have such a lovely family and understand that they come first. Beth - keep up with the channel because you're very good at it. 🥰
More videos to follow!
This is so sad. I love your journey. I am hoping it works out well for all involved. My aunt lives in the South of France and misses the UK but cannot imagine living anywhere other than France. She has all her children and grandchildren near by though.
My husband and I will keep watching your channel wherever you are. ❤️ We love England and look forward to your future projects.
Awesome! Thank you!
OMG!
I've grown so attached to you both; yes you too Beth.
Whatever happens I do hope that you will bring us all along with you.
The Chateau is one thing; but the best part has been the both of you.
I don't care what size place that you're working on.
Someday it might be a bigger property in UK; and don't want to lose you.
Plus it is helping Beth with school; so we've got to come with you!
Much prayers and all my thoughts are with your family.
Just love you guy's! ❤
We will!
Wow! Big excitement for you and your family!! It will be fun for us to see what Carole will do to the little house in the UK. I will stick around for that!🤗❤
I wish you the very best. I hope everything works out as you want it to and for the best. I’ve enjoyed watching your fabulous renovations.
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry to hear this news. Carole you have given the Chateau your all. But life happens & you must do what is most important and necessary for you & your family. I will miss your vlogs & wish you a the best for a happy future.
We will still be doing vlogs!
I just want to say that I’ve so enjoyed watching you cultivate the the chateau. You’re so hardworking and talented it’s amazing. I have become as addicted to your channel as anything I’ve seen on the tube. That being said, I wish the very best for all of you and though I ultimately will miss seeing you bring the home into full bloom, I would want you to do the best thing for yourselves whatever that is and wherever it takes you. Thank you so much for sharing your dream. I’ll be watching and following❤️😊
Thank you 😊
Sve ste savršeno uredili kad je ekipa uigrana i kad imate znanje veliki pozdrav iz Srbije!
You are such wonderful people. Followed you for so long you feel like family. ❤ I hope you will keep the chateau for a while yet. Will keep following you if you continue your youtube channel.
We will!
Thank you for letting us into your life plans. So sad and so understandable. I hope all goes the way you wish. Will still love watching you.
Aww, I'm so sad. I had really hoped we would get to see the finished chateau, are at least more of the completed rooms. You have done a spectacular job. Best of luck with your next endeavor.
Thank you 😊
Wish you all well! So sorry to hear the chateau will be sold! I know it must be heart breaking after all your hard work! Best to you all!
Thank you 😊
You are wonderful, talented people. I have really enjoyed watching all your work and beautiful renovations
Adrian you are so right, family must always come first. Well done and congratulations. 😊
Thank you for sharing the update. I am sure there was a tremendous amount of thought that went into this decision. As empty nesters and grandparents we constantly struggle with the decision on whether to ‘stay or go’. Ultimately, the grandson and the granddaughter (who is soon to join the family) keep us close. I jokingly call you my CZcams friends. But have truly been enjoying watching the progress on the chateau and learning few things too.
Cheers to your next adventure. It will be interesting to see the new path you will take.
I'm sorry I can't even give this a thumbs up, like I normally do on your videos. It's a sad announcement. But I understand. You put so much into the restoration. It's a credit to you what you have done. Family is important and comes first.
I appreciate that
Congratulations on your new granddaughter, and thank you for letting us be part of this journey! It's been an honor to watch your astounding progress on the chateau as well as the fun you have with each other. While this news breaks my heart, I wish you all the best and hope you share your future adventures!
Thank you so much!
PS you are an amazingly talented and lovely family - a joy to watch! Thank you 🙏
😢 one of my favorite channels… we live through your work and the idea of you not completing it and enjoying it is sad
You do such an amazing job restoring!! You have done such a beautiful job.
Thank you so much!
I have just booked the ferry from Portsmouth to Caen to visit my place in France. The cost from last year when we first went is so much more this year. It is a trek in time as well. You have worked so hard on this project and what you have done has been beautiful. Who ever does buy it will have a good base to finish the project. You are both very talented and we will all miss your endeavours. Thanks to Beth for putting everything together while managing to study at the same time.
Thank you 😊
Oh no! I’m so sorry! I look forward to seeing what you can finish and I can’t wait to see what you can do with your little house. Hugs!
Only if we sell
So sad, but everything will be better. I would waiting your videos in every three days, I will be your fan again, I learn so much from you. Good good luck!
It's been an absolute pleasure to watch your chateau restoration videos and I look forward to watching any future endeavours you partake in. You're all so lovely and i wish you the best of luck with new projects ❤.
Many thanks!
Sorry things didn’t work out,really enjoyed watching you working on the chateau.
Wishing you every success in what ever you decide. I will continue to watch. Thank you for being so honest and yes you are right family is everything. I’d love to buy the Chateau just knowing how much work you have put into it.
I am so sorry, my heart is breaking for you! All the work of love and passion you have put into your home. I have enjoyed watching and learning from you, I know you will make your townhouse into something special, not the same. 🇨🇦❤️😊
I can't imagine how difficult the decision to sell has been. You've both put your heart and soul into the Chateau, and I'm sure you must have mixed emotions. You have to do what's right for you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story, and I hope everything works out for you all
Thank you so much!
I'm so sorry to hear you are selling. I know it all makes sense with travel and family additions but I also know how much you both love the chateau and all of the blood, sweat and tears that you've put into it. I love your videos and will continue watching no matter what.
Thank you 😊
Sad to hear this news. The work you have put in is amazing. You have done such incredible work inside . Enjoy watching. Thank you
I’m devastated! Can’t imagine how all of you feel. You have been such an inspiration in helping me with my renovations in my home. Wish you the best of luck and hopefully looking forward if you continue the Vlog on how you update your British home. Best of luck to all of you!❤️
Thank you. The town house is just a base camp whilst we find another project 😊
an unfortunate situation for sure. You have done wonderful work and brought life to this old Chateau.
Thank you Laurent and for your support
Very sad news but I wish the best for you and your family!
What a difficult decision for all of you. I wish you the very best and am confident that your next chapter will be just as adventurous and fun as the chateau.
If it’s any consolation, I spent 12.5 years restoring an historic mansion in downtown Detroit Michigan by myself (I was 40 when I bought it). I was also working a full time corporate job. When I finished it, I realized my passion was the restoration process. Like yours, it was a show place. A wonderful young family bought it. It was part of my journey but not my destination👍. Sundays and Wednesdays will never be the same but I have so enjoyed what you and your family brought to your channel ❤
We’re not finishing CZcams yet!
I’m a loyal follower. I’m not going anywhere.
I've been watching for a while now and have never commented, but this! You are a go-to when I have my tea. Thank you for letting us be a part of all the projects and your lives. Can't be easy, but it is entertaining. I will continue to watch until you hand over the keys. And Carole you made ME tear up when you teared up. Good luck and congratulations
I'm sorry you are having to sell, but family and business come first. I watch for you all, not the house. I will continue watching once you are back in England. Can't wait to see what you find there to renovate!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you for your wonderful shows.
I wish you all the very best for your endeavors...
Wishing you all the best. It has been fantastic getting to know you and your project. I’ve learned a lot. I look forward to the next project. Beth, you do a fantastic job!
Thank you so much!
Sad news, but exciting news too. Congratulations. Hopefully, you will find time to keep us posted on your journey. It would be fun to go along with you on your next property search. Best of luck. Sending positive energy.
Thank you 😊
Hello Carole and Adrian, Beth . Wishing you all the best for life back in England with your family. I will miss you on CZcams. xx ❤❤❤
I was not expecting that news, I'm really shocked but family come first , I will continue to watch and I do hope you carry on the channel back in England ,it been fun, laughter , and hard work just watching you guys also lots of good interesting tips thank you Carole and Adrian and also Beth xxx
I’ve loved watching you work on the chateau. I can imagine how hard the decision has been for you. Best wishes for the future whatever you end up deciding.
Oh Carol and Adrian, I’m so sorry for this. I can hardly wrap my head around this development. Your so strong and stoic ! God bless you and keep a stiff upper lip.😞
Thank you so much!
So sad to think your going after all your hard work, but family is much more important xx
So true!
I love your channel! I look forward to watching what you have done or what you are all up to. Seeing yourMother and her significant other. The energy they have is astonishing. I will be lost if I couldn’t continue to follow you and your family. God bless you all, am looking forward to see what the future holds!
Thank you so much!
I’m shocked, all that work and all the love you put into it. Bittersweet indeed. Best of luck on the sale and your new adventures. It has been a pleasure following you.
Thank you so much but more videos to follow 😊
Bittersweet news! Lovely to return to England for family needs but sad to say goodbye to the chateau because of all the love you both have poured into it! Moving forward, rejoicing! Cheers!
I’ve REALLY enjoyed your channel and watching you bring the chateau back to life (and will watch until the end.) That being said, as hard as it may be to leave the chateau, you cannot get time back with the grandchildren (and children/family.) Ultimately, that time is more precious than a chateau. I wish you the best of luck and hopefully you will quickly find someone you can pass the baton to who is wanting to pick up where you left off. Thank you for bringing us hours of entertainment!❤
Thank you so much!
All the best with your future ventures and will be as sad as Carole when you have to leave. Have enjoyed watching you guys do the work to the Château and you’ve done it well . ❤
Thanks so much!
Your videos have been enjoyable, informative and fun 👍
Life happens..totally get you in the hard decisions you have to make.
Will continue to watch to see how your days are going on ..
Congratulations on the new grand baby! 🎉🎉 I know you will make the best decision for your life. 🙏🏼 If you sale, the new buyer will know that quality work has been done! ❤❤
