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.

I think original fountain left in original space is like finding a secret garden space. It should be looked for by those that are interested to find it.
We call it the secret garden 🥰
That's a great thing. Good idea ❤
Could it be used to recycle the water from a small pond by the base?
Snap! Does it work/ can you get it to work, perhaps solar? Would be a lovely little corner with a seat 😊
…and it’s a lovely private spot where people can discover it and be away from prying eyes. Solitude.
I vote to Not paint the fountain, wherever it ends up. Its rustic beauty can't be bettered.
I think it's a nice little surprise finding the fountain right where it is. No one would expect it there, and with some nice planting around it, makes it very unique 😉 ❤
I would keep it in its original place and get the area as a garden too, maybe less formal but with areas to sit and reflect or read a book. I believe in keeping these historic monument as they were at the beginning of their lives.
Thank you 🙏 😊
I am joining the camp of leaving the fountain where it is. Maybe make a quiet nook, hidden by plants, for serenity. Hammock or lounge chair to enjoy a book or a nap with the sound of water...
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
the little fellow is an excelent tractor driver!
He is! Thank you 🥰
Leave the fountain, add bench for a nice quiet reading spot with pretty wild flowers
Thank you 🙏 😊
I would leave the fountain where it is. Thats a great spot behind the curve to put a chair to read a book while listening to the water and enjoy the view.
Thanks Thom 🥰
Fountain should stay where it is 😊
Keep the fountain where it is .The sound is what will fill the upper part . It gives more character too the lower garden
Thanks Randy 🥰
Jonathan driving the tractor was the star of the show today for me, but we'll done everyone else with groundwork and walls. Love as always from County Durham xxx ❤
Thanks Glenys 🥰
I remember driving a tractor when I was 7. I’m 74 now so that was a long time ago.
I hope you leave the fountain where it is Terry, just as it is. No cleaning, no painting. It’s charming 💗
Thank you 🥰🥰
Leave the fountain! It will be a nice little surprise after you wind down the steps! Add a bench
Thank you 🙏 😊
Agree. A little gem to discover. 🤗
Leave the the fountain where it is. That way it gives quests find something unique in that part of the garden while strolling through. 😂
Thanks Charlotte 🥰
I guess I am the only one who would like to see the fountain moved so everyone can see it. I know you will make it look nice wherever it is.
It is so nice to you you all out in the fresh air. Johnathan, great job on the tractor. Never a dull moment at the chateau.❤
I agree. It should be moved to a better location
The little fountain should be exactly where you see it in your vision. I have too much respect for your artistry to comment. The old vision someone else had is in their past according to their vision and path. I watch to see your artful vision unfold! You are amazing! This entire team is just stellar! Jonathan is such a trooper! Driving the tractor like a pro! Nice!
Thanks Joan
Mom works as hard as you guy’s! She has always amazed me🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Laura 🥰
Little man will have a license to drive before you know it ,,He did really well !!!
He will! Thank you! 🥰
That Jonathan is going to grow up to be a fine young man because of your guidance. Look at him on that tractor - so confident!
Love seeing Jonathan and Ash together. He’s a well loved little boy.❤
He’s a great kid 🥰🥰
Leave it as original as you all can:-). Love history ❤
Good to see Johnathan again. He sure enjoys driving the tractor😄. Exciting to get outside and continue the garden. Can’t wait to see how it is going to look.
You got that right! Thank you 🙏 😊
Jonathan is getting so big!🎉❤
He’s sprouting now 🥰
The smile and pride on Jonathan's face to be able and allowed to drive the tractor by himself is priceless. My husband was raised on a hog farm in SW Michigan and started driving the tractor and doing farm work at about 11-12 years old when he was tall enough to reach the brakes and gas pedals.
Thanks Jill. He loves it! 🥰 nothing better than fresh air! 🥰
@jillbainbridgr6747: MI girl too- metro Detroit, raised on a small vegetable farm.
My husband too, but on a dairy farm in Hagerstown, Maryland
Yes it was so fun to watch him he’ll love that tree! So fun! So jealous! Do you need help?! lol anytime I’ll come from America
Definitely leave the fountain where it is,it’s fantastic discovering parts of the chateau of old for future generations to see…..
Yes I agree with everyone the fountain stay where it is it will be a surprise as they walk through the garden nice touch🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I think if the fountain can be made to work people would hear the water and go looking for it. A wonderful hidden suprise left where you found it.
Never a dull moment at Chateau de Lalacelle.
Thank you 🙏 😊
From his little green wheelbarrow to driving a tractor, it's always a treat seeing Jonathan❤
Jonathan is growing up quickly! Great job on getting the garden started!
Thanks Dodi! He’s really sprouting 🥰
Jonathan is growing up. What a handsome young man. ❤ I’m always impressed with all you get done.
I have to agree with some of the comments I read...it would be nice to leave it where it us with a bench or chairs for sitting and some interesting plantings. Nice, relaxing place to sit away from it all.
I grew up like Jonathan, driving tractor on the farm. Fond memories
He loves it 🥰Thank you 🙏 😊
Terry, I would love to see the fountain kept in the original spot and let visitors search for it. It's like a little gem that can be a prize to find after a full garden search. Take care, DA
Leave fountain where it is. I think it is not the fountain to be seen but the sound of water as you descend the steps that will set the feeling of peace and beauty.
I would keep the fountain where it is. Glad you have had some good weather to sort out the garden ❤
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I think the fountain should stay exactly where it is. Makes a lovely private little niche for someone to simply sit and think!❤️
The little fountain is so cute!
It’s beautiful 🥰
i would leave it where it is. have little surprises as people walk around. it looks perfect there. good to see Jonathon
Thanks Noreen 🥰
I think you should leave the fountain where it is. The garden will be amazing when finished and the little fountain will be a nice feature in the lower terrace.😊
Thank you 🙏 😊
Personally I would leave the fountain where the original owners planned. Over the years you are akmost certain to do more improvements to that lower garden and then it will be a lovely feature especially when you get it working
Thank you John 🥰
Nothing seems daunting to you. All things are possible. You are fabulous role models for "the little fellow".
Thank you 🙏 😊
Hi, Jonathan! Good to see you pitching in with the gardening. You're becoming well versed in operating that tractor 🚜 and sticking to the trail. Well done. Ash and you did a crack on job removing that downed tree.
Terry, you made quick work of the wall repair. Everyone pitched in with the terrace garden, too. I'd keep the fountain ⛲️ in the secret garden as a point of interest. Maybe add a little patio with planters and seating 💺 too.
Thanks Edward 🥰🥰
I would keep the fountain where it is. If you bring everything up to the Chateau what would there be to see away from it? It's one of those things you leave away from the main attraction for people to discover. When I work on my gardens I try to have items that make you want to go even further to see. Then once there allow another "thing" be it a flashy plant, a small statue, *maybe a fountain* or a little water feature with a lily pad etc. Make the visitors take a longer walk.
Glad to see Jonathan out and about. Looks so good, Beautiful place.
Thanks Randy 🥰
I think you should leave it in the secret garden. It would be a nice surprise as you come down the steps!
Thank you 🙏 😊
Jonathan driving the tractor today was the best. He looked so happy. I love seeing his happy face and how loving the whole family is. Terry you are so good at repairing the stone walls and the little fountain is very special. If it wasn’t in that location when the chateau was built then I would move it somewhere else, but if it’s in the original spot when the chateau was built then I would leave it there. xx
Just look at Jonathan driving the tractor and helping Ash clear that fallen tree! Great job,,you’re becoming a very helpful young man! 👍🏻.
You guys are Jack's and Jaqueline's of all trades. You were all born to do this. Usually these Chateaus seem to have a sense of symmetry about them. Could it be that there is or should be another little fountain on the other side of the staircase? Johnathan is such a little farm hand. He loves that tractor and is very good at driving it. I feel so privileged to be a part of your Journey. My Love and kudos to you all .⚜⚜🧡🧡
We thought that it alas no 😢😢
@@chateaudelalacelle maybe you could have the second one fabricated.
The stair itself is asymmetrical, and kind of embraces the fountain.
It's perfect where it is now!
Good job on the wall, Terry….you’re all doing really well….
Thanks Adeline 🥰
Thank goodness you got some nice weather. It’s great to get those jobs done. Love the new fountain find. I think you should leave it in its original spot. Add a lick of paint, some flowers surrounding and it will be a glorious feature for when guests are at the Chateau walking around admiring her. Lo and behold there’s a little surprise down the bottom garden ❤
Thanks charmee 🥰🥰
All of you do such fantastic work. It is so nice to see Johnathan helping outside. He looks good driving the tractor.😊❤
Thanks Sharon 🥰
I enjoyed seeing Jonathan driving the tractor,he is looking great. The fountain should remain where you found it, maybe clear a small space around it and put in a bench.❤❤❤
Thanks 👍
Good to see Jonathan practicing his tractor skills again!
Thanks 👍
I see Jonathan has come out of highbernation lovely to see him😊 Terry Ash Tracey every job you take on is done so well thought out you always have a plan realy enjoyed today's vlog.😊
Yes! Thank you! 🥰
I think it should be left in the original place, its part of the history of the chateau. I wouldn't paint it. I love the way it looks. There must have been a reason it was placed there. I wonder if it was part of underground water irrigation for the lower part of the garden. I love the idea of a slightly informal garden.
(5) Hurray for the gardens!
Haha. Thanks Dale! 🥰
Lovely to see Jonathan, what a nice young man he is. How could he be otherwise, surrounded by such caring gentle people.
Terry, the determination and dedication you, as well as your family show to restore this beauty is so heart warming. I have followed almost from the beginning and I love your tenacity. Bless you and your family. 🌷🩷🌙
Wow, thank you 🤩
Yay! I've been waiting on the fountain rescue! I love the idea of leaving it where it is. It will draw people to the lower level to see how awesome the different level of gardens. And, Jonathan you drove that tractor like a Rock Star! It's so nice to get outside and work!
Thank you 🙏 😊
I am still envisioning wedding photos on that stairwell- with the lovely garden in the background and now the little unearthed fountain off to the side.....And how nice to see the 'little feller'- he is growing like a weed!
Can’t wait to see that wall pressure washed ! So much moss
Great jobs everyone and thanks for sharing your day with us. Good to see Jonathan back on the tractor, that smile is infectious. That little fountain is intriguing, my thoughts are tidy it up and leave it where it is. It was obviously put there for a purpose and I would love to know what that was?
One thing for sure, it's a curiosity and, I think it should remain one.
Thanks Phil 🥰
Keep it where it originally was. Garden design is starting to come through. Great to see Jonathan.
Thank you 🙏 😊
Please leave the fountain in it’s original spot . It should be there . History & tradition matter . You would never alter the original staircase . This is far too important to change location. To shift it would be heartbreaking.
great Job lads, and lasses, oh my goodness how Johnathon has grow, it's lovely to see how brilliant he is at driving the tractor. well done Johnathon. I've watched a lot of gardening programmes and quite alot don't like the use of the matting, they say it causes lots of bother yrs down the line, watched one today it was a guy from Canada, he uses loads of wood chippings/bark. your lovely fountain would be nice kept in it's original place and maybe you could put a little table and a chair beside it with some lovely plants for people to just sit and have a quite secluded place to sit with a glass of wine, read a book, watch the sun set or just take in and savour the beauty that surrounds them, you could make a little wooden plaque where the seating area is and just write on it, Serenity. Tranquility. Mindfulness. I think that would be just beautiful.
Thanks Karen. We don’t particularly want to but it’s a needs must situation. This land has been left for over fifty years. Even today I dug down around 2ft and still pulling up bramble root balls. This is the only way really we can sterilise the soil properly.
Hope you understand 🥰🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle yes I totally understand, it's what is best for you. I do hope you like the idea of the seating area though I suggested it would be beautiful to watch the sunsets . x
Happy to see Jonathan again! Yarl are doing a great job guys. I think you should leave the fountain at its original place. Love and light to you all
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
So good to see Jonathan again I have been thinking about him he sure is growing fast!! The pastures and chateau look so beautiful and peaceful..it's so lush and green there. I am sure it's a nice break to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. I would leave the fountain in the original place and do something special with plantings around it . God bless yall thank you for sharing. Love from texas 🇺🇸
He sure is! Thank you 🙏 😊
Can’t say it enough I’m so glad your dad is back helping you on some of your projects and so good to see all the family working. I do miss the little boy though maybe he’ll come back on them again you’re doing great job. Keep up the good work..
Talked too soon there’s Jonathan glad to see him back.
That’s Peter :) Tracy’s brother in law 🥰
Johnathan, I once was a teacher. If I'd had you in my class, you'd have been the apple of my eye!
Yeah, I say give the little fountain a prime position to be viewed and admired up the stairs.
Jonathan is so adorable. He will be able to get his driver's license on the first try😀 Normally when you do things as a child you really can't remember it all, but since things are being videoed, he will be able to remember them.
Absolutely 💯 Thank you 🙏 😊
He looks like terrific kid.
I think you should leave the fountain in original spot. You can always find more to put in other places❤
Thank you 🙏 😊
I like the fountain where it is; it just makes a private little space. When I first started watching the video today, for some reason I thought about the chickens and that I had not seen them in a while. Lo and behold, not far into the video I spied a chicken; then another. I was laughing. They are apparently doing well from the look of them. Lots of "little jobs" ahead, but it will look wonderful when the nice weather resumes.
Thanks Bobbie 🥰
Such a joy to see Jonathan driving the tractor and helping to move the tree. He looks like he has grown so much. Not a little boy any longer but such a cutie!!!
Its good to see Johnathan learning and working , so good for a growing boy!
OMG!!! To see Jonathan again ju 18:13 st made my day! That is the most handsome freckled face I've ever seen! All worked to tic off a few more "just jobs" but that being said Jonathan is the "Master of the tractor." As for the little fountain...Terry your the visionary 🤔. Take care all.😊
Loved seeing Jonathan again! He is a little version of Terry.
Put the fountain where you want it!! You haven't been wrong so far! Crack on!
My vote is to leave it. Love your stone work Terry!
Thanks Jason 🥰
You are all multi talented, but I that Jonathan is Lalacelle’s super power 💪💪
Thanks Marie 🥰
Clean it up, and leave where it is..secret garden area, put a cute little button table a chair near area and plant some sweet autumn above it and let it drape down and you will have cascade of beautiful blooms ..
Johnathan has grown so much! Lucky young man who gets to drive the tractor. I think it should be moved and admired .
Everything is looking amazing! What a great help it is for Johnathan to be driving the tractor, and already pulling the trailer! Growing up. The fountain in it's original place is great, but restored and featured in the garden would be spectacular! 😊
Thanks 👍
Nice to see Johnathan has come to the rescue, again 😊. Thank you.
If the plumbing is available in the upper walled garden, it might be nice to have the little fountain there for birds & butterflies at the entry. 😊
Thank you 🙏 😊
Hi, Jonathan!
Beautiful fountain ❤
Thank you 🙏 😊
Wow what a find i would keep the fountain where it is a nice surprise to find once you come down the stairs, little fella he is nearly as tall as you Ash it was nice to see him and he works the tractor well indeed 😊 great to see you all in the garden and it is coming on nicely bit by bit take care all and see you next time 💕🌼🤗
Thanks Carole. He’s growing! 🥰
Jonathan driving!!!! How exciting. Wall building…excellent as always. Garden will be fantastic. If the original fountain makes a noise then your guests will go searching for it. Make a plaque for it explaining the significance of the petit fountain
Great idea! Thank you 🙏 😊
Really starting to look good can’t wait to see the garden planted
Thanks Dave 🥰
What a perfect environment for a youngster to grow up in. It gives a young one the chance to learn real skills with real equipment. It teaches that hard work enables a good outcome. It demonstrates that many hands make light work, or at the very least, that many hands can lighten the load. It also teaches that commitment to family is important and worth the effort.
You are a wonderful family.
Best to you all.
You guys never cease to amaze me. Over the last 3 years you have amazed me with your new skills and have really honed them down to being very strong ❤ stay strong and don't forget family time is important. Jonathan is growing so fast😊
Just imagine how many gardeners it took to move all that earth, back in the 1700's. You have an advantage over man power, it's called machine power. Yes, and the owners watched back then, too.
Absolutely! It’s incredible to imagine! 🥰
Lots of just jobs done in today's video. It was good to see Jonathan helping Ash and driving the tractor!🚜 I think you should keep the fountain in its original place. It's a nice little piece to look at when exploring the chateau grounds.
A chateau is full of "small jobs". The properties are so big and there is a never ending projects to accomplish. It is not for everyone to own and restore a chateau. You all are very harworking people and work together as a family to bring the chateau back to life. ❤
I adore the fountain right where it is by those gorgeous winding stairs. Love seeing Jonathan at work with you all! Not fun trying to lay landscape fabric in the wind, huh? I admire the tenacity to get it done. Have a good week!
Thanks Lora 🥰🥰
Everything is looking so nice. The fountain will look good where ever it is. i love it.
Great to see Johnathan again how he is growing
Seeing Jonathan driving that tractor like a pro just made my day! I’m impressed!
Johnathan is getting so big and a delight to watch. It won't be long when "Little Fella" won't fit and longer.
Keep it where it is i am sure you will use that space as.well

Thanks as always Johann 🥰🥰
