RIPPING APART our MEDIEVAL CHATEAU
ฝัง

- The day we've been waiting for for so long has arrived. Now that we're living in the coach house, we can finally start to literally rip off the layers of 20th century renovations in our chateau to find out which historic features might have survived beneath. The chateau with the story under the floorboards that I mention later on in the video is this one: www.bbc.com/news/stories-4426...
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.
We have just launched a brand new channel, @LostGardensofChateauRosieres to showcase our gardens and estate project. We'd love it if you could head over and click subscribe if you like it!

The hallway looks so much lighter, brighter and cleaner with just the wallpaper gone. The light is a huge factor to consider going forward.
Love the shot of everyone pulling off a piece of paper with the window behind and also the one of Clement tumbling backwards when his let’s go!
Clement falling made me laugh so much. I mean that sounds bad but it was just so comedic!
Enjoying watching the children with their helping hands & the corridor/hallway looks so much brighter.
The hallway looks so much brighter😊 Clement and Juliette are growing so quickly 😊
Juliet is a natural wallpaper remover. Her sweet little face is so serious as she works. I loved it❤️❤️
The hallway is so much brighter now that you have stripped off the wall covering. It looks really satisfying to pull down the big strips 😊
So good to see Margot back with you, and most especially to see Amy appearing more rested and Marc back to form.
I really love this episode! Clement and Juliette were obviously having great fun ripping down the wallpaper. They were great helpers, again.
And the result of the work speaks for itself - it looks so much better than before!
Glad you enjoyed it! It was such a fun project!
So much brighter 😊 that would have felt so satisfying Amy ❤ good to see Marc back on his feet and in the sandals again
Amazing how the corridor is instantly so much brighter already.
When I removed the 2 layers of wallpaper in our hallway /stairwells/foyer I found an x and the date 1904. I think the paper installer made their mark and dated the work. The history and stories are what make these old places interesting ❤
Clement reminds me more and more of Marc everyday! And Juliette's attention to detail is wonderful!
Your property is in our top five favourites of all the chateau’s we watch… happy weekend guys
❤❤❤
The hall looks so much bigger than before . Well done
I played football in it with the kids tonight!
It looks so much better already, the light has broken through.
Always let lil helpers help! Bravo! Well Done!
I think it's fascinating how doors came to light when the wall paper came off... this space just opens up and looks so much better. I think Juliette was in her element being allowed to pick at a wall and not get in trouble for it. Thanks so much for sharing this moment in time.
So glad to see Marc up and around! ♥️♥️♥️
Rug races! 😁🤣😁
Wow, that space is so much brighter and more pleasant already - very much a good call to do that now, even if you won’t finish it soon.
A pity you haven’t found a secret diary yet - awesome story, and thanks for the link. But fun to find some mystery sketches. Plus the new puzzle of the archway.
The dendocronology sounds like a great student project/practice session for the university of Lyon. “Here kid, this could be from any time or place, do your best.” 😁
Fun to see the kids joining in, Clement with his classic enthusiasm and great brush-work, and Juliet with her always-intense concentration. ♥️♥️♥️
I’m looking forward to the next chapter in the chateau, and to head back to the garden next week.
I love the way the children are so involved. It’s a great learning experience for them.
YAY! Margo's back! So cute how Clement likes to sweep, and Juliette's tiny fingers are perfect for those little scraps of wallpaper. Looking forward to the dendrochronology report and seeing what's behind the plaster. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Already looks better
Looks so much better. So much light is coming in to make it brighter. ❤ Thank you
I could lend a cat to you for wallpaper removal. She has already taken care of two corners in our hallway and a 2x4 in the basement. 😊
😬😂😂
What a glorious difference ... even with bits of wallpaper and paste still visible. I could feel myself breathe easier as each panel was removed. Well done.
It is very enjoyable, especially seeing the whole family stripping the wall covering. It's intriguing seeing you and Mark's body language, arms crossed, both at same time.!! ❤ WCL
Good to see Mark back in action
In the early days, they wallpapered with a tin white wallpaper to cover uneven parts of walls. Or over wooden doors to hide them. It became so much lighter, more beautiful
Wow, look at all the light now. Fantastic guys. Greetings From Australia.
Just taking down the dark wall paper the hall looks fantastic and much lighter. Love seeing how the kids enjoy helping🇨🇦
Welcome back Margot. Cracked up at Clement’s “attacking the chateau” 😂😂😂😂😂 I agree that the wallpaper is dark and ugly. Must be so satisfying to finally peel it off. I’m not sure I agree with Marc about reusing the wallpaper 😂😂😂😂😂
Ha ha - luckily he was only joking!
What a difference and how satisfying that must have been to do!
About 20 years ago, we pulled down the past owners’ vinyl wallpaper in our hallway.The kids loved it so much that 2 weeks later I received a call from my mom in California who was watching the kids while I was in New Orleans. She said she walked into her guest bedroom to find my daughter happily peeling the paper off the walls! It’s a good thing my mom never liked that paper much! 😂
Wow, the teaser's great. I'll miss the premiere but can't wait to watch.
Oh my gosh! I want to help!! It’s like peeling sunburn! 😂 I love how light the hallway looks! Good job everyone! Loved seeing Clement and Juliette taking responsibility as future custodians, although they don’t know it as yet. 🥰
Remind me never to sunbathe near you 😂
@@Chroniclesofrosieres 🤣😂🤣😂
What a job! Are those cabinet doors hidden behind the wallpaper?
Yes they’re recessed cupboards
Angry squirrel is my spirit animal
@@katherinecolquhoun7456 😂😂😂😂
Amazing how much brighter the hallway is just from removing that dark dingy wallpaper great job
Already sooo much lighter and brighter without the wallpaper.
Do those doors open?👍🏻👍🏻
Yes they’re cupboards full of our stuff!
Hey, great promo, what a fantastic restoration project and future. I have watched from the beginning.
Wow, what a difference a day of ripping paper makes! It was so cute watching your cute little ones having a good old rip and getting approval to do it...fun!!!
What a difference it makes to just get the old paper off the walls! It is so much brighter! I love the idea of trying to date the wood. I didn't know there was such a large store of knowledge about how old and where the wood might be from. Very interesting!
Oh yes!!! So much friendlier already with the light eveloping ❤❤❤
Love the lighter hallway brightens it and curious to find the hidden jems. What great helpers from peeling to moving furniture
Be well everyone
It looks so much lighter now - what is behind the door ? If you mix warm water and washing up liquid in a spray bottle you can spray the walls and then peel the paper off it’s much quicker than a steamer ❤
😊 the kids were so cute helping..from pulling off paper to sweeping up the mess! And it looks much better just down to the white walls...that paper was awful.
So much better already!
Job well done.
The kids are doing a great job & seeming to stick with it!
So much light! Lovely!
So much fun to see Juliette and Clement having so much fun helping!
Your little helpers are too adorable!🥰
It’s so lovely to see Marc recovering well after his accident. The children were both adorable helping you and Margo. What is behind the doors you scraped back please ? Love to you all K🇬🇧❤️❤️
They’re built-in cupboards. The hessian was designed to hide them but they were always still in use.
@@Chroniclesofrosieres I thought they might be. I’m so glad the hessian has bit the dust, absolutely amazing how much lighter the hall is now. Love to you all xx
Is it possible the previous tenants drew the floor and paneling on the wall? Loved this episode and loved the story of the gossipy carpenter.
The hallway is already a vast improvement. Juliette, in her little gingam dress, is precious. Clement is going to be hard workers like you both. He is Marc's twin.❤
I agree, it’s looking much better already guys. I loved seeing the kids helping and having so much fun, bless them both, they were really getting into it. Welcome back to Margo too!😊
A massive improvement. No doubt the group effort will be recalled fondly by even the smallest members of the team.
It looks so much better , lighter.❤❤❤❤❤
oh good
Opening your home life, albeit to a uniquely homey chateau experience is in itself a privilege to receive but as well a humanitarian act of generosity to many old folk living alone like myself, a gift of human poetry at it's finest wit, candor and infinite tenderness. Special thanks to brilliant and lovely Margo and her mum .🌹🌹🌹
Clement and Juliette are so precious in their efforts to help. I hope you’re paying them well. ❤❤❤❤❤
Peeling wallpaper so easily is hugely satisfying. The fiddly bit less so. But really look forward to see what else you uncover ❤
The opening!!!! Bravo
Love the new intro.
It does look so much better!
Coucou ! J'ADOOORE votre générique ! Vous êtes vraiment très courageux de vous lancer ainsi dans cette aventure ! Rénover un château représente tellement de travail mais surtout beaucoup d'amour pour pouvoir accomplir une telle entreprise! Encore bravo! PS J'espère que Marc se porte beaucoup mieux! Bon courage à tous! Gros bisous d'Alsace ! 🤗🤗🤗😗😗🥇🥇🥇
What hard workers Clement and Juliette are!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Very impressive into!
Clement size furniture, cool. Clement is having so muct fun. I like the music. The walls look better without the paper.
What difference in the light even with just the hessian removed. 👍
Awesome video. Love the children being apart. All the fun ripping down and the tiddly ripping off bits. Well done all,
you could sell pieces of that hessian to junk journal, collage, paper artists
Unfortunately it would cost more in time, packaging and posting to send it than it could ever be worth!
Our French house had paper backed by hessian - I have never seen what you have, which is the other way round!
It’s a special kind of awfulness!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres😂
Yes Amy, the walls look a lot better without the wallpaper....it is so much lighter! Well done, especially by the children! What a joy to watch them....thank you, it was a joy! I love how you want to preserve the history and quality....love it!! Thank you!
Great fun was had by all who attacked the château hallway!
Marvellous trailer 🎉❤
Great project for the whole family! You always have the best upbeat music to go along with it! Was this video done before Marc’s accident? Can’t seem to see any damage to his leg😁
He has a very large and long scar, but his legs are already quite tanned and the accident was a month ago so it doesn’t look fresh any more!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres good to know. He’s a fast healer!🥰
BEST WISHES TO YOU
This must be Marc all recovered? The hallway looks great without the dark wallpaper and Margot looks happy to be back with you. Enjoyable video. Thank you!!
Kids are wonderful! ...Are growing up surrounded by the nature and great attitudes !
Great job tho, walls looking nice even if only left bland !
Your kids are so sweet
Thank you!
Such a transformation. So much lighter!
The kids are really enjoying, and it's so funny how Clement fell with the paper😅
The place looks already clean
It looks a thousand percent better already, light makes all the difference!
Nice to see you continuing to explore the history of your chateau. It looks so much nicer without the hessian wallpaper.
It really is!
So fun to watch! Just absolutely adorable 😂
Looks so much brighter. Fascinating to see what you find.
Great to see Marc climbing ladders! And Clement in his matching Safety Sandals.🥰 The hall looks so very much better without that wallpaper. Hessian/burlap was a "thing" in the 1970s when rustic and natural were the rebound from the Space Age 50s and 60s. Unfortunately, rough wood and loosely woven fabric really hold dust and dirt. We used to vacuum walls 🤦♀ At least you were spared the cream, brown and orange shag carpet in the house when I moved into mine.😱 Design concept is one thing; livability another. Amy, one reason I so look forward to your updates is the history and archeology you bring. So few renovators know what they are looking at when they encounter items like that door. I also wonder about the window at the end of the hall. It isn't centered. Was it an afterthought?
The hallway is so much brighter now. I have a feeling you will discover many wonderful things as you renovate/restore the chateau. I loved how you included the children and by the looks of it, they had a lot of fun. ❤
The hallway looks so much better…feels open and bright. Feels happy, cheerful. Exciting about the archway over the door. Looking forward to more discoveries. Will you paint or wallpaper after your explorations🤔The light walls really make the woodwork stand out 🤩😍
I thought it would be just plaster or wood and no wallpaper didn't seem like the kind of chateau that would at least in the upper levels. I think in rooms that changed more often dining or kitchen you might find something or bedrooms but not hallways. Keep the hessian can always sell it some people like that stuff for crafting as you very well could make cards with it and sell them. I am glad Marc is feeling better to help out :) nice to see Margot :) Clement and Juliette. I love the walled cabinets with keys would be the only thing I would keep regardless of the paper or wood. I'd take a photo and paint or plaster or wallpaper over. But that's me wanting to move forward and finish renovation. Sell it at a reclamation or a brocante donation that hessian it will get loved by someone.
Our château is 700 years old and was the lord of a very large area in this region so the chateau has been through very many changes and had many prestige floors and rooms!
Loved watching this! 🙂 - so much fun and so interesting with what you found behind the paper - the writing, drawing etc.
The Hessian (burlap in US) wall covering might be useful to someone. I hate to see it just thrown away. (Maybe Emmaus??) I am glad you are saving some for the chateau's history. Fun video with the whole family involved!
Looks so much brighter I love it
So much more bright and inviting!
Looks so much brighter! Well done
We had relatives in this weekend so I missed the live chat. Great video! ❤ Marc is so funny suggesting you save it in case you want to reuse it. 😂😂
So much brighter!
Well done alot of hard work the difference is amazing , watching the kids helping just brilliant ❤
It looks so much better now !
So much brighter
