Chateau Capers
France
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 21 ก.ค. 2013
In February 2024 we committed to buying Château de Pican in South West France.
Like others before us we wanted to start a new adventure in a different country, and we chose to renovate a chateau and, eventually, open it for business.
Having been unoccupied for over a decade, Château de Pican has been left unloved and is in desperate need to renovation before it falls into disrepair.
We hope to post regular video updates of our renovations and redecorations, our trials and our troubles.
