- The rescued greenhouse starts to take shape as we install the restored metal arches.
We live in a medieval castle with a huge, derelict estate in southern France. Follow our ambitious garden projects, from vineyards to formal gardens, tropical plants to self-sustainability. Our project is enormous and our enthusiasm contagious. We'd love you to join us.

Amy, that was quite a commendable effort with the tractor. I bet there's a secret Marc hasn't told you about how to get a big load of fill. Clement and Juliette prove to be wonderful helpers. Juliette is wearing an appropriate 'jumper' for the job! Well done, you two!!
The birds always show up when Marc is excavating, knowing they will find lovely things to eat. I always think of the video when March was working on the wall and he kept saying “that chicken isn’t going to live very long”.
😂😂😂
It was so sad to hear the turkey at the beginning knowing that he is no longer with you! 😢
I like how Marc used the off cut of the geo textile - so resourceful ! And the whole family was involved in the process of compressing the ground - so funny how Juliette jumped up and down the plank!
Amy and Marc are incredible parents. They allow Clement and Juliette to "participate" in these projects while watching them closely, keeping them out of harm's way. They are beyond patient with the little ones. Marc's ambitious project will no doubt be not only functional but quite beautiful when done. I am really enjoying these videos.
Wow. Thank you very much for your kind words!
The kids are such good supervisors. Love seeing the progress!
Great work Amy and Marc! Fun to watch Clement and Juliette “helping”. ❤
It’ll be buried too deep for the pipes to freeze, don’t worry!
Marc is a demon on that tractor. Loved that look on his face, look I didn’t have any trouble filling up tractor with rocks!
Clement and Juliette were so cute jumping up and down. Well done the family!!
Love your drawings Amy. It clearly showed the plan you guys were executing. You have the cutest helpers along with numerous animals supervising all your work. What a milestone accomplishment 🤩Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Boy, that was hard work trying to get the tank in the right place without the tractor falling in the hole or Amy getting smuched!! Great job guys, Kathy USA 🇺🇸
Loved watching the entire family get involved- including Margo. Amy, you were great at moving rocks once they were in the hole😂.
Marc loves his digger. The hamsters look well.
This was interesting. Great job. Juliette jumping and landing on her bottom was so cute. That is going to be the best greenhouse. ❤
Men will think up all kinds of projects just to get to use a digger 😂😂😂❤❤❤
Such good luck to find this water tank (even with free water... just to make moving it that much more a challenge)! In what seemed short order, you all contributed to this massive accomplishment of getting it right where you planned and prepared for its next service! I have such respect for both Marc and you, Amy... how you blend your parenting life with your very difficult, challenging, backbreaking restoration of not just a building but multiple massive buildings, a greenhouse, a garden, an orchard, a watering system, and oh, yes, a Vineyard! All this while documenting it for posterity, and hopefully, a helpful monetary return for your effort. You are both so personable, intelligent, creative, industrious, and lovers of beauty and nature, and turn every barnyard animal into a beloved family pet! I look forward to every vlog you produce for us, who vicariously experience the allure of a living a rather remote life on a gorgeous piece of historic property in romantic France, which nearly daily reveals little snippets of previous life to you, that you beautifully & generously share with us. Thank you from a gramma in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Hope you have a happy & blessed Easter! 🌷🐇✝️🐣🪻
Aw thank you for taking the time to write this. Your support means a lot it’s been quite challenging recently so it’s amazing to have some kind words like this! X
Marc I fear you are going to wear out your body with all the heavy lifting you do. Jumping on the plank looked fun, your children are going to have such wonderful memories growing up at the Chateau
I was thinking the same thing about the kids. Plus, they’re learning that work can be accomplished & be fun.
So interesting to see (and understand - thanks for the sketch, Amy) the various projects and watch your progress. This video was particularly enjoyable with the participation of the children - so sweet how Juliette wholeheartedly followed you on the plank, jumping energetically up and down to help you. Wonderful family memories to treasure. ❤
Terrific teamwork Amy, Mark, Clement, Juliette and friend, tresbien 😅❤🎉
Really well done getting the water container in the ditch. Lovely how the children are able to have fun whilst helping in their way. Best wishes.
Juliet’s bunny sweater is adorable!!! ♥️
Great work team!!! 👏
Juliette was adorable helping you stamp down the gravel. Good team work here.
Nice teamwork! I can't believe how hard you both work. Good thing you're young.
Should add, I really enjoyed the music, the content, the kids and the beautiful scenery there. Thanks again for sharing this with us.
What a wonderful team effort. Really interesting to watch. Your chateau and its surroundings are truly magnificent. ❤
Thank you for sharing your adventures, especially the footage of the flowers and of your wonderful grazing outdoor shag carpets with horns, which I love immensely! 😁🐮🥰 Glad to see the greenhouse project progressing, as it means there will be even more plants sooner or later. 😄
Really enjoyed this video guys. Thank you, keep going!!! I know it must be very frustrating that for all your hard work and creativity your viewer numbers are not increasing very quickly but your fans do love you ❤
excellent! You're both so calm when you're doing big projects, especially Mark. Just know that while watching I have enough anxiety for all of us lol
Excellent work. Having that water tank will make all the difference for getting water to the plants. It looked like everyone had a good time also!
Love the cows watching you!
So glad to see that your peacock survived the massacre. I like peacocks 😊. Oh dear, just heard Dave. I guess that was filmed pre-massacre. 😢
Massacre? What did I miss?
@@Monitschka oh dear, sorry to break it to you. In today’s Chateau vlog we were told a fox killed some poultry, including Dave the turkey. Go see it, it was put on line just before the garden vlog.
@@denyseleonard240 Thank you. Meantime I watched the Chateau vlog - so sad.
Yes very sad, but as she said he had lived a good long life and it’s really a balance of freedom and the risk inherent to it. At least he had a life worth living. I just hope the end was quick. He must have been so frightened poor thing. 😢
I certainly enjoyed the video. Especially the parts where Marc pulled the water tank by hand and the kids jumping up and down to flatten the hole where the tank was going to be placed😂
You will have an amazing garden shed. What a lovely family 😊
A labour of love 😅
The person who records for you, does a great job. Your vlogs are starting to feel like mini films.
Thanks! It’s a mix of me, Margot and Adonis filming and editing!
I really admire how you include your children on these jobs. You have to get the work done, and you have to look after your children, so despite the fact that having them there must slow you down, you’re accommodating what you need to on both fronts. Not everyone could do what you & Marc do, with such love, grace & humour. 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
Thanks for sharing Marc and AMY XX
Fantastic Marc, it looks perfect, good jumping everyone!
Well done.Marc you're so determined to get that tank in you pulled it yourself.
Impressed.
You need some draft horses.
Amy you're amazing in always volunteering to help.
The whole plan is coming together.
It must be so satisfying to see all you've accomplished.
A family working together. How heart warming. Even when the children are young they are able to contribute even in small ways makes feel helpful. Thank you for sharing ❤
Great work all of you!! You are really coming along on this project...well done!
Well done family! Great progress and great memories!❤
May I say that Mark's cheeky grin, when he took over the tractor was priceless and Amy, I would have tipped the tractor over so-- well done, even if you only picked up 10 stones!
Great job, everyone! Especially that hard working little girl! Marc is a very competent and speedy heavy equipment operator! Was that his training? Amy, splendid raking and childcare! You are all so cute and cheerful.
Bonjour bonsoir What a team everyone on board very impressive I always learn so much here and there’s always humour to uplift -myday enchante💖💖😘😘👌🌟
I so enjoy watching your ambitious constructions and beautiful views.
Such great work kids helping mom and daddy 🎉❤😂🎉
Love how the baby cow stays so close to mum😊
That was so cute watching your lovely children help with the jumping. I love it when you include them. Good job!!!
Such a amazing mum& dad.❤
Amy, I'm the St. Felicien lady.. now Niagara, around 1970 we buried a tank for our greenhouse... One of the first Grapevine nursery businesses here... my uncle got a round railway cars for carrying liquid, from Montreal (rail car junk yard). We were pumping cold water from Lake Ontario. which was so cold it slowed growth. This way it warmed it up. There were no plastic tanks then.
Great story thank you!
Great job, you two! Y'all did a wonderful "burial." My back was aching watching while you were moving those heavy stones. I could see you were very proud of your hard work, and you should be. It will be worth the time and energy you have put into it.
The peacock made me smile nice job both of you & the children 👍💐
Love Sue ❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Well done great team work love the way you let the children get involved as well xx
Amazing work, Amy and Marc. I love how you are both so honest about your abilities/fears ... and still manage to achieve your goals.
I like old building stones too. It's a big part of why i watch.
So exciting! It's going to be a wonderful greenhouse! Janice from Arkansas USA
Sad to hear your turkey at the beginning. But you all did a good job with the water tank
All marks ‘big boys toys’ are pretty essential with all your project! Well done xx
Marc is Amazing!
You are a beautiful Family ❤
Okay, I was holding my breath when the tank was lowered! Loved everyone taking part in the process no matter what it was.
Marc, you have a wonderful ability of taking what seems to be an extremely difficult project and breaking it down into doable steps.
If you use landscaping staple spikes it should support your plastic barrier wall
I continue to be amazed at the scope of the work you have embraced! The Chateau must have been truly magnificent in it's prime, and it's amazing how much you are able to re-develop. Just Great work, both of you!
Great progress ! Well done crew !💗😊👍
Such respect for your work ethic. Well done all of you
Love your diagrams! They clarify so much.
I kept ooomphing and uuummmphing along as you guys were trying to maneuver the tank and lookie there..... its in!!!!!! Happy dances from end of the street to yours!
you always smile when on the digger and tractor Marc 😅 good job done guys 👍 free water 👌
Great find on the extra stones!!!
Great progress looking forward to next video👍👍👍👍
Mark you are a maniac on that tractor.
Love this!
Best wishes to you
I drop by occasionally and I'm surprised at the progress that's been going on.
That was a lot of heavy work. Great job with the whole family involved!
Great job, well done to everyone 😊
I think you did a good job too
Well done 😁
Bravo!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
♥😂Marc show off his Rallying skills on the tractor, superb camera work - how did you film it, the video is are so stable ?
Good engineering, as ever 👌
Wondering why Marc wears out the toes on his shoe's 🤔
Genius design here makes full sense thanks Amy and Marc for explaining. Such an amazing project I hope you find out where that stone belongs. Those extra stones will prove useful if you need a retaining wall elsewhere. Always love learning something on your channels. Love also the appearance of your little ones especially being Easter weekend :) hope you are all relaxing and having a peaceful weekend. You are a strong lady Amy more than I am sure you can do anything you put your mind to no matter how scary as I am terrified of spiders so a heroine you are :) thank you and the same to Marc always hard working and fearless :)
Great job! Happy Easter!
Quite enjoyd this ❤😊
Good work!
I’d say it’s a job well done! It must be so satisfying to see your plans come to life!
Wow - a wonderful project! I appreciate your attention to the historical rock found in the process of excavation.
The greenhouse looks amazing. I have a little envy as I have always wanted to have one. Best of luck with your new space Marc. Deborah. USA❤😊
Wow! 😮
It is refreshing to see a family who loves.
Good job you two
Lol 😂 Bob the builder !
Jesus, I love you guys. I'm typically drunk at the time you release your new videos, which just makes me so happy and nostalgic for my time living in France years ago. I'm drinking to your health right now.
Cheers!
Brilliant work. Well done everyone xx
Beautiful family loved seeing you all interacting on that project ❤❤❤ ❤❤
Well done on completing such a huge task
That was a lot of physical work, you all did a fantastic job!
Great video, thanks!
Brilliant job done!
The incredible work you two do, on your own, just amazes me! You are wonderful, ingenious and work so well together ❤ I love what you are doing.
With absolute admiration,
Audri
Thank you so much!
