Sanglier Invade the Château Garden | Queen's Escape

- *I had the date 2023 throughout a version of this video, when in fact it is 2024. I guess my brain hasn't caught up. Apologies. This is the new version with the correct date.
The sanglier, or wild boar, made the garden of Queen's Escape their primary cafeteria this early spring. They came almost every night while we slept and dug up the garden. We have a very large portion of the garden quarantined with a strong electric fence and always thought it was overkill. Until this year! They dug. We repaired. They dug. We repaired. They dug and dug. We repaired. It was really getting out of hand until a neighbor came by with a very unusual deterrent. Enjoy the video. We shed our fair share of sweat making it. ;)

Queen's Escape was inspired by the 4 years the Belgian royal family stayed at Château de La Tuilerie during WWII. In particular, it is for the Queen. The king took shelter at a different location in France. We've named each of our guest rooms after great Queens of the past and present from around the world. Margrethe, Eleanor, Catherine, Himiko, Cleopatra, and soon our bridal suite will be ready in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
With it's sprawling green meadows, 100-year-old trees, and historic location in the small medieval town of Gluges, the 200-year-old château is truly an escape. With 5 guest rooms to rent and a stunning Orangery, we look forward to welcoming you for a visit or to host your wedding or event.

Very educational!!!
What a nightmare. I hope they stay away for good. Makes for so much extra work. Thank you so much for sharing.
You might not like to hear this maybe you really need to check with the loval huntclub if they have traps or bite in the sour apple and let them hunt besides wild boar od good meat good luck all the best
I don’t mind hearing it. 😊 We allow the local hunters to track across our land without guns. They’re happy with that and come with the dogs and trumpets most Sundays in season.
In the Southern US, to eradicate larger numbers, they erect sturdy pens that the hogs can enter but not exit. They bait the inside with shelled corn. They are then disposed. Sometimes they'll be 30 at once.
Wow!
Love your instructional moments! So interesting, keep them coming! ❤
Thank you. I will.
Oh my! With all the other things that you have to do for such a large property you both really don’t need to be dealing with the boar. Hopefully they will move on into a forest somewhere. Deborah North Carolina 😊😊❤❤
They’re gone for now.
Living in the deep south(of the US) this is not a problem but rather an outstanding opportunity. Let me share some French inspired ideas: Roti de Porc Poele, Pork Cassoulet, Pork Bourguignon, Grilled Pork with Herbs de Provence, Choucroute Garnie, Cochon de Lait, and my personal favorite Country French Pork with Prunes and Apples.
Mmmmmm 🤤
Here in Arizona we have Javelinas. I finally saw a mother and her babies one evening on a road with no lights. Caught me off guard. They are smaller but look almost the same. Not sure if solar spot lights that capture movement would scare tjem away. They probably would get used to it. Maybe a noise that blasts run on ???. Glad your problem is resolved for now. I enjoy watching your journey ❤
I think your approach is a good one.
I guess that is why chateaus had a wall around the property to keep wild boar away
Boar, deer, badgers, you name it.
Oh, the loss of having a chateau that boar like! That was a lot of damage. I feel for you. You did your research, though.❤
Exciting to see you in sweat shirt of my undergraduate college - Hollins University now.
Awww, I love that sweatshirt. And my daughter loved that school. ❤️
Bores can tear people up never get near one
100% agree.👍🏻
Be careful when driving! If you hit one it is like hitting a rock. And also if you hit one of them, do not get out of the car!
Agree!
I see a few other Chateau Families have the Locals come onto their properties , I think on Sunday to Kill the Boar , They use Dogs ti Hunt. you should check with your Major.
So informative! Ty! Hope you solve the problem soon! The hooves! 🫣lol laughing with you 😭.
I’m glad you weren’t horrified.
Pigs are great for naturally cultivating the soil ready for sowing, they also maybe looking for truffle, do you have any you know of? maybe they will show you where it is, check where they have been digging. Try using their natural instincts to your benefit. Everyone's always quick to say kill and remove. We all have a purpose in life. If you have a field or plot that needs cultivating maybe direct them to that spot by leaving peelings and scraps on that patch of land. It's also been known that if the land is left after they've cultivated it, plants of produce etc start growing, based on what they've eaten. They could be a blessing if you understand them.
That’s a neat perspective. Do you think they can jump up and till a raised garden? 😂 We don’t have truffles as our soil is too acidic, but it’s a nice thought. I love ‘em.
A pit should be dug with twig cover, put sweet clover in the center top, maybe a spoiled apple. Then have game warden take care of it. You may get a few at a time.
theres a fence trap with a door closing system that will get them as well. The only thing is you gotta have strong fences because hogs know when they are in a trap
Oh my Karen. When we were there on May 22 you showed us where you had fixed the previous damage. I see they came back the next night and more, so you really had a time of it on top of everything else that you have to do. I hope you have found a solution and won't continue to deal with this. Joi and Ron
Hi Joi & Ron, They just up and left one day and haven’t come back for a little while. It was amazing the amount of damage. My eyes were like saucers. 😂
I feel like they did this in the movie, ‘Swiss Family Robinson’ or something else from my childhood…. 😉
1) More electric fencing, I expect.
2) Inform the local hunt, as you did. Isn't it wonderful how the local hunt helps you? They give you an education in country ways.
3) Have you had your tetanus jab/injection? If not, please ask your local doctor about it.
4) Stock up on sanglier recipes.
[ I am playing in my second pétanque tournament on Sunday! ]
You’re going to have to share some pétanque pics soon.
You will not believe it, maybe, but I am getting better at pétanque. When you do something better, you start enjoying it a bit more. I still play twice a week. It will take years to get to a reasonable level, as the game is much more complicated (and cruel) than you might first imagine. I am being treated very well by my new chums, and am completely included. I must ask one of my chums to take some pictures of me! @queensescape
Well, here in Georgia [USA], they kick off the legislative session each year with a wild pig roast! I hear it's good eating, LOL!
I enjoy hearing your slightly southern accent - and the dead give-away was using the phrase "they tore it up." 😅
Sorry, your nice lawn was ruined.
lol! I did sound particularly southern in this episode. And yes, they’re delicious.
I would invest in a lot electric fencing and throw as much pepper i could get hold of in sacks. Pepper makes people sneeze. It keeps cats and dogs off lawns.True, as daft as it seems.
I didn’t know that.
Oh dear. Would sensor spotlights around the property scare them off?
I think so
You might have made a better buffet for tonight...🎉
Haha
What are they looking for?
The boar are looking for food. Roots and bugs.
🍎 Karen and Bo,
Fabulous, sunny, cloudy, rainy day in our part of the world!
About your unwelcome guests the wild boar:
Can you imagine, they are the largest wild pig! Which means they're cousins to the regular animal pigs that people slaughter, roast and put on their table to eat over and over all over the world, if they can afford to do so. Not to mention in Europe they cure different parts of their body with salt and call it ham and decorate it with pineapple and cherries and put on their table for Christmas. So maybe after the devastating game they played on your lawn and will probably do it year after year unfortunately, you guys will decide to never eat them again.
Got to go mow our lawn before it starts raining!🌴
They’re delicious. 😂
Peut-être que des " détecteurs de présence " bien placés, qui commanderaient des FLASH ou des sons , pourraient être efficaces... la nuit, cela pourrait les faire fuir , renseignez vous ...!?
Oui. C’est un bonne idée. 🙏🏻
Guard dogs , more electric fences
Cant believe the damage ....Game warden yes good idea i think to keep the numbers down
They just stopped coming one day. Maybe they take the summer off.
Are they looking for grubs, mice or rats?
Roots, juicy bits of anything really. They’re omnivores but do like to snuffle through the dirt - they do tons of damage, we have the same problem
I think so.
You know your boars. I’m telling you, I can recognize you in your comments every time. I like your writing style a lot. 😊
so destructive. i have enough damage from deer and bears and voles. get the gun. be careful driving. i had a bear run into my truck. scary
A bear! Holy moly.
what a mess! I hope they have moved on to greener pastures!!!
I don't understand what they are digging for in the soil and lawns. This is terrible.
They look for food, mainly insects and worms.
I think roots and grubs.
