  • After a couple of month's break we're back on the coach house renovation and making great progress until we realise that an important piece of equipment hasn't been working properly...
    We are Marc, Amy, Clement and Juliette, a French-English family restoring a 33 room medieval chateau and huge estate in southern France. Follow our award-winning, historically-sensitive restorations and our journey towards self-sufficiency and sustainability, with plenty of laughter along the way.

    A lot of people are commenting on music volume. At the last minute I asked Adonis to make a change to the music on the video that he had edited. He wasn’t somewhere with easy access to his editing suite or fast internet so it was quite a challenge. When I reviewed it I realised that there were just a couple of places where there was some slightly inaudible dialogue but that it wasn’t terribly important what was being said. If I’d asked Adonis to change it again then the video would have potentially been delayed by days, and we’re trying to make sure we get them out every week at approximately the same time, in order to build the channel. At some point we have to not be perfectionists, and with every export and upload of the video taking between 5 and 20 hours it’s a significant undertaking to do make changes during the joint editing between myself and Adonis when he’s not staying with us. With apologies to those who couldn’t hear word, I realise that this must be frustrating. Please remember that we’re not a tv production company, that we’re actually paying somebody (Adonis) to film and edit our episodes because we’re unable to do it ourselves, and that we’re providing this all completely free of charge to the public even though we sometimes don’t even get enough revenue to cover the costs. Our glorious, gracious Patreons sustain us and allow all of you to see what we do here, otherwise we would not be able to afford to film and produce episodes due to our other commitments (notably two very active kids of 1 and 3).

      If there are a few bumps along the way, I dare say most of us are still watching and it’s ok. You have the best opening of about a half dozen chateau channels I’ve seen. Love the music you pair up with your content. Try not to point stuff out....we may never notice. 😉

      I love everything you do and have been watching from the very beginning. I can’t afford to be a patron but I do watch all the ads and like every one. I know that helps some. I will give you the same advice I gave my theatre student all those years. If you mess up, just keep on going as if nothing happened and then your audience may not even see the issue or hear in this case. I always love the music you guys choose! And just love Marc’s building skills. Love you guys and your precious kiddos!

    A good trick to figuring out what the paint color actually looks like is to put a large piece of white paper next to the sample. You’ll be able to see all the variations of colors.

I enjoy watching you two work it out, the way you calibrate and support each other in your frustrations is lovely to see.

But a gray somewhere in the middle would be lovely to see too. Don't worry about the little music thing -- it's a tiny matter, and doesn't effect the enjoyment of this video. :)

    Paint seems to be a problem in France. My local Brico has white base and tubes of primary colours which you mix (hopefully) to make..something. I met someone with an historic house who said he got paint from Germany. In America there are historic colours for people restoring old houses, but in France I will have to put up with white. Dulux is English, I guess there are better colours, but historical colours don't seem to be a priority even for them.

    sage green is a calming colour and would help in the room

    Fantastic job Marc. It's going to look amazing. I love the Liberian colour for the bathroom. Farrow & Ball Green Smoke is quite dark but maybe that's the look you want. They have similar but lighter colours i.e. Card Room Green....

    Remember to seal the planks before you paint them to avoid the twigs shining through!

    That’s why they say measure twice I guess.👍🏼 It looks really good, you’ll be able to move in before you know it……well hopefully by fall. 🙋🏼‍♀️

    Good job on the paneling! I would stain it because it’s so pretty but it will look pretty no matter the color.
