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.

We are 72 years old and probably would never afford a suite of that luxury and beauty. We have watched every stage of your renovation so I am emotionally in love with every room. I can't choose a favourite. You have all worked so hard, it's wonderful achievement. You should be so proud. Please don't every stop videoing they are my daily treat when all the tea things are washed up and put away.
Thanks Valerie 🥰🥰🥰
Ash, Tracy, and Terry!🎉😂❤ lovely
My husband and I have watched your journey from the beginning. You all are unbelievably talented! We always comment on how focused and hard working you all are.. and we especially adore Tracy. What a hardworking, gracious and kind lady! We see the passion you have for this grand home and thank you for allowing us to share the joy with you. We are planning a visit to France sometime in 2024 and would love to stay with you all. We are your biggest fans! ❤ I should add the 400 suite bedroom is our favorite!
My sister and I have dreamed of restoring a chateau for many years. I am completely awed by all of your talents, dedication, and vision. Congratulations on completing the 400 suite. I love all of the rooms equally....exquisite!!!
Like before when you showed us the suite where you're staying, I Can only applaud your great ideas and talents and vision to be able to reach such a high quality and standard and feelings of content to go through a person's mind while watching your videos. It's really so extraordinary. Well done to you all for such a great accomplishment. Best wishes to the team for the rest of the journey. Terry and your mother, wow, I wish I could meet her. I've got great respect
for her hard work and amazing attitude towards the project. Congratulations to Terry to be able to carry through such great vision as Ash revealed.
Love you all.
🎉❤
I am a detail person and notice all the beautiful touches that have been added to all the rooms in The 400 Suite. Terry’s vision is amazing and with the help of his mother, Ash and all the extended family and friends, a magnificent suite has been created. Kudos to all! I must say my favorite room is the bedroom, absolutely stunning. Ash, you may not have seen Terry’s vision but you took on every job assigned to you with an energy and passion that is admirable. Your love and belief in Terry is something I believe everyone wants to have with their partner. What an amazing family!
Thanks Francine 🥰🥰
Who could ever honestly find fault😢? I'm like Ash & have no vision at all & if I should say "that's not gonna look good" just ignore me because I always regret saying something before a project is finished! (Just ask my sister, she's like Terry!) Beautiful Finish❤!!!
Sorry to contradict you, Ash, but you ARE builders. You ARE tilers.You are designers, dreamers, electricians, gardeners, landscapers, restorers and so much more. I've been following your journey and am absolutely dumbstruck with the transformation from an overgrown, dilapidated property to a work of art. I've traveled to Europe and toured the great palaces from Versaille to Catherine the Great's summer home and your attention to detail has transformed Château de Lalacelle into something just as grand. I love the Georgian sittng room. It is so inviting, so stately, yet so cozy. I can imagine sitting there with the fire in the hearth and a glass of wine and being transported to a different time. How absolutely wonderful! I look forward to continue to follow your videos and the future progress that will be made. Hopefully one day I'll have the chance to drive up the wild flower-lined driveway and stay as a guest. To meet all of you would be such a treat. It's strange how the phenomenon of watching your vlogs over the years makes it seem that your family is as familiar to me as my own friends and family even though we've never actually met. But twice a week you come into my home and share your adventures. You are no longer strangers. I've watched your hard work, your struggles and your triumphs. It's been so satisfying as I live vicariously through these videos and certainly have developed a vested interest in your lives. Take care. Don from Florida, USA
My favorite spot in the 400 Suite would be the Salon. I can imagine entering the suite into the foyer, leaving shoes and a few layers of clothes behind. Perhaps make coffee or pour a glass of wine. Then I would move into the Salon with my glass where a fire would be burning. Then maybe sit and write postcards, look at mail, have a good look at whatever things I might have bought, sip the wine or coffee and just melt with relaxation into the room.
But my real favorite rooms are the beautiful 3rd floor Apartment you have made for yourselves. That is where the true heart of your home is. The love and joy that you two share with each other is tangible and moving. After all the shopping, sanding, painting, cutting, making etc. is over you both have those lovely rooms where you can just be together with each other. 15+ years together - I wish you another 50.
I think Tracy deserves more mention, she worked like a Trojan in that room, it's not only Terry's vision, Tracy had a lot of input as well.
It is a team effort, the results are from each of us not just one 🥰🥰🥰🥰😂
Ash, you are a gifted story teller and salesman. Love that Georgian green! Kudos to the family, to Terry’s vision, to Tracy’s willingness to work towards her son’s dream, to Ash’s, Jonathan’s, Rob’s, EVERYONE’S hard work. Wishing you much success and happiness.
Seeing Ash literally bursting with pride over Terry's vision was a real treat. Lalacelle is alive again, and you're not even halfway finished resurrecting her. Magnificent, y'all. As for a favorite room? Can't choose, just can't. Would love to be there, but as a caregiver to an invalid spouse, not happening. So I'll keep watching your videos and imagining staying in the 400 suite, strolling Lalacelle's grounds, and hearing more of her history. Keep up the outstanding work, Tracy, Terry and Ash.
Ash, you can continue to be amazed at the creativity of your partner but he could not have done this without you! You may not be able to always see the vision he has, but you helped it come alive! The suite is truly beautiful and your entire family has done a wonderful job!! It is an obvious labor of love for all of you.
Terry is the mastermind behind the creation of the 400 suite. I would bet, no room in any chateau has designed a room like this. Terry is the creator and visionary of this beautiful masterpiece.....congratulations Terry, Tracy and Ash, for working so hard to bring this room to it's glory!! ❤😊
Thanks Suzanne 🥰🥰
Terry's vision and attention to detail and the careful dedication of all of you have combined to create a beautiful masterpiece!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
@@marthaizaguirre6363 I couldn't have said it better....... about the the three of them is right on!
One thing I'd suggest, if you haven't got them is coasters for under glasses...wouldn't want to damage the furniture. Looks fab. Oh to have a stay there. Dreams are free.😁
❤❤❤
Dear Lalacelle family! Myself and my partner have been following your progress towards fulfilling your dream for several months. Though now as I'm thinking about it... The progress is part of the dream! I love diy myself, I love the sentimental value of bringing old pieces back to life or giving forgotten pieces of memories a whole new look. I am in awe of you guys, your passion, your positive attitude, the warmth that radiates out of all of you! Your skills and excitement to make things happen! When I'm watching you videos I can nearly smell the wood and paint, I can nearly feel the texture with my finger tips. I imagine a morning walk around the grounds of the chateau, sunlight peeking through the branches, smelling the flowers, looking at the old trees wondering what they witnessed. I am always excited to see new pieces of the chateau and it always brings the nostalgic feeling, the wonder of what has been and the cheer of you giving it another go. Seeing you, Ash, today in this video warmed up my heart. Because you are just buzzing with excitement about everything, every tiny piece of the finish, as you should, the detail, the work, the research you guys did... 400 looks amazing, I could walk around it for hours admiring what you've done. I can't wait to see 401 done! But the cosiness of your top floor nest... That's just amazing and I wish you All the best, I hope the memories you'll create there will last through generations and that you'll document them. I could probably write a book here 😅 I wish I can someday come over to France to see it all for myself, touch the walls and listen to what they have to say. Take my camera and try to catch the beauty the way I see it. Shake your hands, because you all deserve it. Sincerest greetings from Ireland! With love, Justyna & Noel 🍀❤️
Comme c’est bien dit! It is not just about the restoration that is quite amazing here obviously. Your family is getting stronger and more confident with each step of your journey being taken. Each of you guys glow with the pleasure of progressing towards your goal. This being said, we understand the incredibly hard work you and your family / friends are putting into this process and we are in owe! You are an amazing, caring and kind family. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. ❤
The 400 suite is breathtaking! Every detail is perfection! Every minute of the hard work all of you did should be honored and everyone should be so proud of the results! Ash, please don’t sell yourself short. Your contribution to this suite is important. ❤
Thank you so much!
Ahhh! Choose a room? Are you kidding?! I like every single one of them! I've watched from the very beginning the transformation of each and every room. From the crumbling floors, to the windows, to walls. The choice of colors, the gold trim. the dressing table mirror and bathroom mirror, just stunning choices. The trips to the broc huns, (is that spelled right), was awesome. I had SO much fun watching them. My mother was an Antique Dealer here in the US while I was a child. We went to nearly all 50 states searching for Antiques to resell. Your Broc Hun trips were a glorious reminder of those childhood trips with my mother. Because of my mother of course I LOVE antiquities and the shopping trips was a feast to my eyes. France has even more beautiful antiques than America does! Winning a free stay would be the trip of a life time. To walk in the garden your creating or down the lane to the original gate you just cleared would be like a fairy tale! Thank you for the years of joy you have provided me in watching your videos, here's to many more.
The 400 Suite is absolutely a work of the heart and of art! I'm like you, Ash, there were times I have wondered what was in Terry's head, but we stayed with him, and just look at the fabulous results! Truly Amazing! I enjoy your family and channel so much, with the hard work, tenacious attitudes, your philanthropy with Jonathan's school, your attention to detail, the list of why I return every time there is a new video is very long! Thank you so much for including us in the journey! I love everything about the 400 suite, but I am extremely partial to the salon. The salon is very very close in color to my bedroom, and it is my favorite room in my house. The green is so calming, and life affirming, and it's always been my favorite color. Yes, I love the bathroom you guys have created, and thinking about soaking in the tub while enjoying the chandelier and view would be wonderful, and the bedroom, what a great night of sleep and relaxation would be had there, but the salon captures my soul. That's where I would want to park myself to read, play cards, listen to and dance to music, enjoy company, etc. The entire suite is spectacular and I cannot even imagine how 401 will top it! Thank you again for the walk through. What a fabulous job you are all doing! Love, Vickie
I love how Ash is so supportive and understands what has happened. He hangs in the background, but is so essential.
Agee 100 %
Your transformation of these rooms is truly magical. The hard work and vision has been inspirational to watch unfold. Spent 25 years in the Design industry here in the U.S. and had the nick name of "The Magic Paintbrush". Terry has taken paint to another level.
BRAVO!!!!!!
s
Am too auld now to travel but I have to tell you that these rooms are works of art. Terry is an artist no question about it. Though you may not see his vision you all support it with such love and lots of hard work. Huge credit to all who have brought this vision to life. BRAVO!
I don’t travel anymore, so I prefer to watch you all in the afterglow of all your hard work. It truly is amazing, and I hope whomever goes is very respectful of that fact and take as good care of it as you all have and do! ❤
It's not fair to make one choose just one room to like when the whole suite is sublime. From the blue and white bathroom with Vivienne's hand painted tiles and that magnificent chandelier to that resplendent bedroom with unsurpassed elegance and charm, each and every room has a memory of how Terry's ideas were executed and brought to life by a whole family of amateur craftsmen whose dedication to details and work ethic surpass most professionals. Anyone would be blessed to spend a night or two envisioning themselves as a châtelain of a fine estate. It is a generous offer to welcome an individual the opportunity to travel back through time and enjoy a life of regal quality and leisure.
We love watching each room become beautiful. From dilapidated to delightful. I think my absolute favourite part of the rooms is the floor. I’d love to feel that wood under my feet. One of my favourite rooms is the bathroom. The blue flowers and that gorgeous soaking tub. Just amazin’!!
I watched you guys from the start, I really believed that all of you bit off more than you could chew. As the renovation continued I thought it would be inline with Chateau Diaries, never could I believe in the vision and end result of the 400 suite. My wife is an interior designer and the attention to detail left her speechless, she could not believe what the three of you had achieved. It is on par with craftsmen who have been at their trades for decades.
The room that captivates us has to be the bedroom, the attention to detail and the use of antiques sets the room on exceed the look of the Ritz and high end turn of century hotels here in Canada.
Well done to all who were involved in the jobs to make these rooms such eye catchers. 🇨🇦
Oh guys...I'm speechless! There just aren't words I believe, in French, English or any other language to describe what you've created. Here's 1 maybe...Magnificent! Joy to all for the accomplishment. 😊
Tonda USA
Thank you! 😃
I love this entire suite, but my favorite room is the Bedroom. This is the truest restoration of a chateau bedroom, I have seen on CZcams yet. CANT get enough of this suite.
I have watched your journey from the beginning. My most memorable episode was the one when wall fell after the storm.
My heart ached for all of you. Instead of throwing up your hands you accepted the loss and moved forward. What an example.
You all have taught me that nothing is impossible with vision, hard work, patience, consistency and working as a team instead of as an individual.
As magnificent as the transformation of the 400 Suite is, I think your transformation, Ash, is even greater. Who would have thought that you would become such a great story-teller and spokesperson for Lalacelle? In your honor, I choose the bathroom, as my favorite, since you worked so hard on it!
How can you pick “a favourite”? There is so much beauty in all of the rooms it is virtually impossible! And following your journey you know how much hard work went into creation of Suite 400. The vision that Terry and Tracy had culminated into work of art. Anybody that will win this contest will be a very very lucky.
Well done all of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So hard to decide which room is my favorite, but I will pick the bedroom because of its opulence and grandeur. The complete tour of the 400 suite is very appreciated. Amazing how much work, planning and detail involved in the completion in Terry’s vision. Kudos and bravo ❤🏰
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
A massive congratulations to every single person involved in the journey to completely transform and breathe life back into these rooms as well as the whole chateau, gardens, grounds and wider community at La Lacelle! I have followed your whole journey since the very beginning and I am beyond proud of what you have all achieved together. I have suffered some pretty dark depression over the last few years and your channel has given me the light to pick me up on my darkest days. To know that with vision, dedication and some bloody hard work you can achieve anything you put your collective minds to has been a true inspiration to me. Terry, you are a true visionary, you have an incredible eye for detail and design as well as having the patience and resilience to see your dreams through to completion (regardless of any negative comments from viewers who didn't understand your vision or banter and teasing from your family and friends). Ash, your love for Terry and your faith and commitment to helping him see his dreams become a reality are the support and loyalty I wish everyone could have in their lives. Tracey, you have been the backbone of this whole endeavour and provided the stability and love to be the foundation for all the challenges faced so far (as well as setting one hell of a pace for getting things done). It has been beautiful to see you all grow and learn together and become closer than ever as a family unit through all your challenges. What felt like an insurmountable mountain at the beginning has been slowly chipped away at over the years to reveal the jewel that is the 400 suit, whilst simultaneously laying the foundations for the rest of the chateau! Thank you for everything you have done for the chateau, but also for the lives of the people who have followed your journey here on CZcams. You have personally inspired me to follow my own dream and relocate to France all the way from New Zealand! I have been here for a month already with my wonderful husband and 4 year old daughter. Thank you for setting the example of following your heart! I would be honoured to experience the fruits of your blood sweat and tears by visiting the chateau as a guest one day and staying in the 400 suit. The bedroom has by far and away been my favourite room from the moment Terry shared his vision for it. It continued to evolve week by week in layer upon layer of glorious and thoughtful detail to far surpass any expectations I could have had for it. A huge legacy to be left by you all! Well done and lots of love to you all! ❤️
I am now 76 and have loved old decor all my life. What you have done with these rooms is unbelievable. That bathroom is to die for and I can dream of a nice hot bath in that beautiful tub with that view out the window before me. Terry you are a Master of Design. And with Ash and Tracy helping you out I don't think you can go wrong. Keep it up. I will be watching and enjoying e very step you take.
The 400 suite is astonishing - really reflects the chateau's cultural heritage! What a labor of love, truly!
Thank you 🙏😊
It’s all gorgeous, but my favorite room is the bedroom. It’s simply stunning! I remember watching Terry restore the canopy over the bed. He took it from a broken piece of junk and made it an absolute piece of art!
Thanks Debbie 🥰🥰
No words are necessary for these rooms! Wonderful...beautiful...breathtaking.
Having followed your journey from the beginning, I feel so pleased and proud for your family and what you have accomplished together. It is so exciting to watch you restore the Chateau to new life! The completed suite is stunningly beautiful and I very much admire Terry's attention to even the smallest details. This is what makes a place truly special. It is quite difficult to choose a favorite room. So much care has been taken to make this suite of rooms a complete experience - but I think one thing that really stands out is Terry's replication of the RMS Olympic ceiling - unique and amazing! It would be an honor and a privilege to enjoy a stay in these remarkable rooms.
The whole suit is a living testament to the dedication and hard work of your family. The detail is incredible but I particularly like the way you have ensured the longevity of the Chateaux by going back to the stonework, the woodwork etc and building from scratch. Nothing is botched, every things speaks quality and love.
The 400 suite is absolutely stunning. Each space has its own magical charm. Terry definitely has the ability to see a room’s potential. His eye for detail is amazing. Great job!
We totally agree! Thank you 🥰
Ashley have to say you are brilliant at telling us all about the 400 suite, the excitement in you voice is lovely yes you all have worked so hard to make is look so beautiful. Terry has a wonderful talent as you said he can see ahead what it will look like, and our Tracy she is a power house where would you be without her, and all those great friends who have helped you all the way marvelous people. Lots of love and hugs🫂 to you all from the Jones family in Wales. ❤Xx👏👏👏
Thank you so much Jean 🥰🥰
BTW, I loved how you kept the entry room white so that the salon and bedroom POP.
How can you possibly pick a room when they are all stunning. You have all put so much work into bringing this old girl back to life.
What an amazing chance to be able to stay in the 400 suite 😊 one of your viewers will be so very lucky fingers crossed everyone and thankyou for the opportunity
All the room make overs are perfection love watching achievements x achievements
Thanks Julie 🥰🥰
The blue & white bathroom is still my favorite. I’m looking forward to when you start showing the gardens again! 😀
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
With how the chateau has turned out, I cannot imagine how stunning the formal gardens will look! I am in awe. I honestly didn't think there were people who could recreate such splendor in this day and age! So gorgeous and calming at the same time. All the rooms are amazing, but the chandelier in the bathroom is stunning to the point it mesmerizes me.
The bedroom is my favorite room. To wake up in the morning, in a room that feels like you have gone back to a simpler time, is priceless. Slowly rise and look out over the countryside, dreaming of servants fulfilling your needs with not a care of the outside world. Ahh...
You're right. This video better shows the angles of the 400 bedroom and the wardrobe doesn't appear too large. Never a problem with the style. Congratulations.
Yes! Thank you!🤩
I agree. Thats typical for the time period in my experience.
Words fail me. All of your rooms are exquisite. Tastefully done. You all deserve to be praised well done ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Just so much work has gone into this my husband has alway been interested in antiques we have rode the roller coaster with you cried when we saw how upset Terry was when the wall came down laughed with comments you all make watched Johnathan grow and been entertained well done especially to the rock and super star mam Tracy love you and thanks for being there
Early 80's....a teenager with a romantic heart and an insatiable appetite for history. A dream evolves to one day put hands on ancient history. To have eyes soak up visions of dilapidated castles and Roman walls. To visit chateau's with history and lore. To walk along the Champs Elisee. To ride through the Highlands and hear about all the lore and superstitions. But alas, that teenager fell in love and had two beautiful babies who then became the all and everything in her world. Their health, happiness and education became the main focal point to life. Her dreams had to be put on hold for a while. Flash forward to present day, through anniversaries ,deaths and births. The dream is still there but the health has faded a bit as well as the financial capabilities. You tube is the mode of transport now. It takes us anywhere we want to go. Through channels like yours I can feel my dream, see my dream, live my dream. Thank you. You'll never know how much it means to me seeing you all live your dream. ❤
Your hard work, attention to detail is second to none. The skills you've learnt and still learning is inspiring. For me to spend just a moment taking in the beauty and grandure of the whole suite would be a wonderful dream especially the bedroom 🥰 ❤
Thank you very much! 🥰
Ash, your enthusiasm is infectious. You would make a really good realtor.
Thank you 🥰🥰
The 400 suite is amazing! My favorite room is the bedroom - it looks as elegant as the best preserved royal suites of France. I have been a patron from the beginning and have enjoyed seeing the inventiveness, enginuity, and artistry that all members of the family have applied to the different aspects of the chateau.
When the world shut down in 2020, I found your channel.. I look forward to every episode. I am absolutely amazed at the transformation to the chateau that you and your family have done.. I am a big gardener and am looking forward to seeing the walled garden come to life. The 400 suite is amazing. Each room is amazing. It is hard to pick just one. I love the coziness of the room with the fireplace, the thought of sleeping on a beautiful bed surrounded in grandeau and relaxing in your slipper tub with a view of the beautiful outdoors and the stunning chandelier. Whomever wins the drawing will get an experience of a lifetime.. Please keep posting. Your videos allow my heart and soul to dream.
The talent displayed in rehabbing the chateau is awe inspiring.
Thanks Adam 🥰
What a gorgeous space! Hard to choose a favorite but the bedroom is so fantastic.
Thanks so much! 🥰
My husband and I have watched your journey from the beginning. You all are unbelievably talented! We always comment on how focused and hard working you all are.. and we especially adore Tracy. What a hardworking, gracious and kind lady! We see the passion you have for this grand home and thank you for allowing us to share the joy with you. We are planning a visit to France sometime in 2024 and would love to stay with you all. We are your biggest fans! ❤ I should add the 400 suite bedroom is our favorite!
Thanks Dawn 🥰🥰
The work that everyone has put into the 400 suite, let alone your personal home on the upper floor and the carriage house for Tracy and Jonathan, is hands down perfection! I’ve been watching and have been involved in the chats for quite some time now, and i know that those who built the château would be extremely proud of you all! You have created spaces that travel a person back in time when they enter them. My personal favorite of the 400 suite is the bedroom! The attention to detail in that room is extraordinary, a masterpiece! I know it has taken many people to bring the suite to life, but what has been done in the bedroom is beyond words. Terry’s vision is one for the history books, Tracy’s vision and workhorse mindset cannot be matched, Ashes workhorse mindset and determination is top notch, and Jonathan’s assistants in every part of the château is beyond his years, Tracy’s sister is a hidden gem with her workhorse mindset - and never one for attention. I’m proud of you all, for not only giving the château a new lease on life, but taking her back in time, to a place she started from, and deserves to stay in! I can’t wait to see what you do to the 401 suite, I know it will be as magnificent as everything else you have touched at the château! Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 on the final project of the 400 suite, I for one would love to stay there, but whoever gets the opportunity to stay will be the most fortunate person in the world to experience what you all have created! On to the 401 suite! You guys Rock!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is Ron Musson from Central Texas, thought I should identify who I am! So proud of you guys!
BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO TEAM LALACELLE!! You have stayed a united front as you tackled each and every task related to this restoration - from Terry having the vision followed by the hard physical labor needed to make the vison a reality. Everyone of you contributed your skills along with taking on something you did not know how to do at the time ...thereby, learning a new skill to take with you going forward. Your viewers have been with you on your journey and cheerleading you on with our viewing. Go out for a celebration!!
Thanks Vicki 🥰🥰🥰
Can't believe how quickly the 401 is coming together, just shows how much you have all learnt doing the 400 suite , can't wait to see what wonders Terry has planned for the next rooms. Get ready Ash and Tracy ,, much love to all at the chateau xxx
Thanks Donna 🥰
What a transformation you have made of this suite of rooms. I have watched the whole project. My favourite room is the salon, but all the rooms are fabulous. The vision that Terry has had has been wonderful but you Ash have made your contribution and as for Tracy the fantastic needlework with the curtains and drapes. Also all the rest of the family with their hand in all the prep. You are all truly amazing. I love watching the progress that you have made to bring this great old building back to life. Well done all and good luck with the rest of the project.
Everything is superbly done in the 400 suite and is a credit to you all. The bedroom is the double wow factor for me!
You have taken us on a dream journey. You are not the only one who had difficulty seeing Terry's vision. It was suspenseful until the finishing touches came to fruition. One of my favorite jobs was seeing you cast all the delicate moldings in situ and gilded. Perfection!
My favorite room has to be that dream bedroom. I cannot imagine how the newest bedroom construction project can surpass this one.
I would truly enjoy viewing your new garden. It will be spectacular for sure.
Thank you so much Ruth 🥰🥰
The suite is so beautiful. I know people will be dreaming of a stay there. The details that you did are wonderful. So very happy for you all.
Thank you so much! ☺️
The beauty of those rooms is exquisite. They look like they were designed and finishes curated by a long time career designer. C'est la perfection.
The bedroom in the 400 Suite is by far the most beautiful room ever!! That is my favorite space over all. It's all gorgeous!
Y'all deserve all the complements you receive on the 400 suite. It is incredibly stunning. There is no other word to describe it. The attention to detail and the execution are impeccable. Kudos to everyone involved. It may have been Terry's vision, Tracy's execution but it takes a village to pull everything together. I LOVE it!!
Thank you Ramona 🙏 ☺️
Just beautiful! Ya’ll are an amazing family team. I’ll never tire of watching you create.❤
Thanks Linda 🥰
Watched from episode 1. What you all achieved is beyond imagination. Terry's vision, your determination to create what's in your mind is mind blowing. Tracy's amazing skills, love for detail. An example to us all. Ash you are so modest, but such extraordinary skills. Tiling, restore Radiators, plumbing, hinges, no matter what, your magic makes everything you touch new and exclusive. You truly performed a miracle. My absolute favorite room is the blue bedroom with all details. My husband unfortunately died suddenly Dec 21st but we looked so much forward to come this year and help you with what's on schedule. Very grateful that you share your dream with all of us viewers.
Hi Wanda.
Thank you so much.
Would you be able to email us at:
Chateaudelalacelle@gmail.com
We have some exciting news for you 🥰🥰
My favorite room is the bathroom with the beautiful touches of blue with the crystal and white. Just a peaceful place to be sitting in a bath meditating!
You've done such an amazing job. Everything is so beautiful and feels so homey. I'm especially in love with the bedroom. I love the blue/greenish colour with the red accents. The workmanship and attention to detail is so impressive.
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Wow! Wow! Wow! You and Terry and his mom are a dream team.
Thanks Shelly 🥰
The bedroom takes my breath away - stunning, stunning, stunning - such bravery, hard work, skill sets, cooperation.
Thank you so much!
Restoring a Chateau is definitely your families calling, you all bring different abilities to the table and combined it's just the perfect mix. I have loved watching the Chateau evolve and hope to watch many more rooms and gardens get their well deserved transformations, be proud of what you've achieved and will achieve, lots of love to you all, from Bavaria Germany ❤
Favorite room HAS to be the bedroom, because I have tried to imagine what it would be like to be snuggled in that bed with its’ gorgeous canopy and then wake up to it in the morning. I love how the combination of the canopy, the room, and the bedding colors play off one another. Lalacelle never ceases to amaze.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
You all worked so hard ND so well together in all endeavors in the chateau ..the 400 suite really showed Terry's decor creativity ..every detail done perfectly.Whoever wins will have a wonderful experience.
Thanks Susan 🥰🥰
What a beautiful suite! I love every detail, and I can also remember every video in which we could see how the ugly duckling became a proud and beautiful swan. You put so much love into every detail and in the end all the hard work paid off. You could soon be reaping the fruits of your labor, and as one previous writer said: I could be very proud of what you have done! When I was younger, I always dreamed of one day realizing a project like this with my boyfriend, but we never succeeded. I am all the more pleased that you have achieved so much with the support of your family and are living your dream. I'll soon be 60 years old and can at least experience my dream with you, through your wonderful videos. It's a bit like I'm always there myself, and I'm very grateful to you for that. If you can't live your own dreams 100%, then it's wonderful to be able to observe the dreams of others. I love it 🙂
@Ash: Your are a real showman, you could do a job on the TV as a Moderator, speaker or in any place do the travel Guide.
Many greetings from Germany, from Anton
PS: Please excuse my bad English, I'm trying my best 🙂
WOW the rooms are so opulent. The back breaking work that has gone into each room is above comprehension. Ash you are so right the planning, deconstruction, repairs and attention to detail no matter how small makes each room an experience back into the past. Congratulations on a job so unbelievably well done.
Just finished watching the latest episode. Today, our 6 year old granddaughter watched it with us. She loved all the rooms, but her favorite room is the bedroom. It is absolutely stunning. All the details in the rooms are breathtaking. ❤ Someday, we hope to visit you. In the meantime, we watch each of your videos with great anticipation!
Thanks Janice 🥰🥰
By far the bedroom is my favorite…. Sleeping in this room would be a dream come true. Thank you for the opportunity.❤
Thanks Cassie 🥰🥰
I personally want to thank you all for the miticuous work you have done to bring this place back to what it would have looked like originally. I see so many people buy these old homes and restore them to look like they were just built yesterday. They take away all of these charm and character of the places they purchase and it makes me cringe every time. I am so happy to see that you all restored it's charm and character. So beautiful.
I've watched every video from the very beginning of your family's journey and I only found you a couple of months ago! I wake up hours before everyone else in the house, settle in with a cup of coffee and watch as many "episodes" as I can before the house wakes up and the day begins. I've enjoyed every minute, I've learned so many useful renovation tips and have grown to think of you all as friends. About a week ago, I expressed to my husband how much fun it would be to go and stay at Lalacelle to see first hand everything I've watched from the west coast of British Columbia, Canada.
My favourite room is the bedroom, amazingly. I say that because every time Terry added another detail, I would say to myself "oh no, that's too much" and then I would be proved wrong. This happened repeatedly, haha and yet, Terry was bang on! It's a masterpiece! The fact that you've all been so innovative and resourceful using old bits or making things from scratch is inspirational. I call you "Chateau on a Dime" to my husband.
I hope to win a stay - either way, I will visit one day!
I will be watching the #401 come to life and every other project - I'm in it for the long haul now.
Keep up the tremendous work and thank you for letting everyone live vicariously through you so we may all live the dream of Chateau life.
Definitely this amazing room! I would love to see the whole chateau.. from the basement to the outside lake to the gardens. I love it all . Thank you for sharing and teaching me how make a difference! Steve💛
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
Hello hard working people it's as if I had been working with you all along your journey, I must have seen every episode, some of them multiple times. Love the bunch of you including nosy Patrick always digging along with you. Waiting for the rules to participate. Wishing you health and much joy making your escape to the dream a reality.
I agree, every day whatever the job, they tackle it with a renewed purpose as if they had just arrived and not been doing this for almost three years on a daily basis. People from the North of England do have a reputation for being hard workers, if you needed proof, here’s your finest example!
I agree....I have watched every video recorded....love them!
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Bravo!
Bravo to all of you, to all your wonderful team! You match each other so well in your work that it seems incredible. Terry is not only an ideological inspirer, but also a meticulous hardworking person with an amazing smile! Mom is like a symbol of everything you all do. Such a calm, such a strong and such a beautiful woman! Ash, a lot rests on you, because you are an optimist and ready for any job and are not afraid to try anything and really like to learn something new. Jonathan is the sunshine who always makes your releases so that it becomes clear what it's all about, for the sake of the future of your whole wonderful family! And special admiration to all those who helped you at different stages. Such hard work and so much enthusiasm in all of you guys! It's a pleasure to watch you and your work!
I wish all of you and your guests more wonderful sunny days and the opportunity to have time to observe all this beauty in the house and in the vicinity of the chateau.
And for some reason I'm sure that I liked the room that you are just preparing the most. Terry described him in such a way that I presented him very well in general terms. This will be the most magnificent example of your work, I'm sure!
You give a lot of positive moments, guys, believe me! Thank you all for this! 💕
It’s so hard to pick a favorite room. But I think sitting in the green room with a good book and a cup of tea with a cozy fire would be incredible.
The whole suite is a work of art; the bedroom design is particularly exquisite.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I don't have a favourite! Have watched from the beginning how unique and with beautiful attention to detail all the rooms are. That includes your own living space.
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
I am in awe of the beautiful bathroom more than any room in the 400 suite; it is truly stunningl. And everyone played such a huge part in its outcome, especially since Terry was injured at the time. It shows how much the family can rely on each other, and that is true love. Bravo, everyone.😊
Favourite space is the unique 400 suite. The attention to detail throughout has been five star. Can’t wait to be your guest.
Bravo Team LALACELLE . I am wiping away tears of Pride and Happiness as I am watching this.⚜⚜⚜🧡🧡🧡💯
Thanks Lawrence 🥰🥰
Cannot agree more.
Jean from Suffolk. Yes guys showing the suite all finished is remarkable. Each room is unique in every way but still keeps in with time period. Well done. Terry you are one of a very few people in the world that can see the finish, even when there’s a great big hole in the floor. It’s a precious gift. Thank you for bringing your life onto the tv. It’s been a pleasure to watch. Roll on the next ( just job) ❤❤❤❤
He’s got a special talent 🥰🥰
Oh my how can I choose a favourite room , everyone of them are absolutely of the scale .
Ash you are a joy showing us around,every smile full of joy and pride at what Terry's vision has created . You are a fantastic team and your work is legendary . Thank you for everything ❤️

Undeniable beauty. Viewers enjoy-ed the renovations from beginning to end. I know the winner of a 2-night stay in the 400 Suite will be a dream come true. I especially love the bedroom, encompassing the richness & French history of the Suite. Congratulations to ALL who helped in Terry's vision. The 400 Suite is over-the-top & beyond SPECTACULAR! 🎉
I started to watch your channel last year - half way of your renovation, and I got hooked - your dreams, your team, your vision, your imagination, your hard work and your taste inspire so many people.
You are of those people who change world to a better place - you learn, you create, you challenge yourself and others, and you expand your physical, mental and emotional horizons for yourself and for your viewers.
And as a result of all those things you have a new wonderful home, and you have a beautiful Chateau that is becoming a piece of Paradise with your hard work.
I am sure you have bad days also. However, you show a way how to overcome them. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much Viki 🥰🥰
The bathroom is my favorite cuz it's simple but it is exquisite what's excellent taste every detail down to the toilet handle I mean it's just this is gorgeous what Terry can turn something ugly into beautiful is amazing his foresight past any high-priced designer he is amazing items together Terry and his mom are great team
Thanks Kae 🥰🥰
Terry’s vision and Ash & Tracey’s hard work = the dream combination. You’re asking us to choose our favourite room when they’re all amazing and stunning in their own way? Almost impossible! But I’d have to go for the salon, as that green & gold combo is simply gorgeous. Here’s looking forward to seeing how the next suite turns out. 😍
Just WOW!!! Incredible..I have literally binged start to finish every episode and been invested in your journey, I will now be coming to France to see for myself...well done to you all for performing nothing short of miracles in bring this old lady back to life xx
It is absolutely stunning; the details and the colors are so beautiful ❤well done family🌷
Thank you! 😊
It's breath taking!!! my favorite room is the bathroom. How amazing would it be to take a bubble bath in that tub with that view!!!
Thank you 🙏 ☺️
You have made the chateau fit for a King and a Queen! Absolutely stunning!
I'm so proud of you ash for what you have also achieved from being in the background at the beginning to thinking Terry was bonkers for his brocant finds to now being everypart of the build and to see how proud of Terry and his vision your are make you a special man.what you all have achieved is nothing short of a miracle and I wish you all every success for now and the future.
You are all doing a phenomenal job! We're looking forward to staying with you one day!
Thank you so much! ☺️
You've made a cracking job of the 400 suite. Everything has been thought out to perfection. You all compliment each other so well. Xxx
Thanks Cherie 🥰
400 bedroom is my favourite, I think I could sleep like a log in that bed. X
The entire suite is absolutey stunning. The attention to all of the details are goregous. The camera does not do all of your hard work justice but I love seeing the tranformation. I can't even choose a room that is my favorite because it is all so beautiful.
The bedroom is by far my favorite! You've all done such exquisite work and learned so many skills! You're living my dream. I wish I'd known about these possibilities 30 years ago! Tracy is an inspiration to everyone! I can't wait to see what you do on the main floor!
