- The former water cistern is finally finished, and it surpassed all of our expectations. This week we're moving in a gigantic water tank to start Marc's ingenious aquaponics plans.
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.

With the tiled floor, the speakers on the shelf and now with the giant aquarium the room looks like a quite cool living room! Marc’s hangout and happy place !
Margo is a gem That was a big job well done to all who helped 👏
Your Margo is amazing.
That was a lot of hard work!! Well done, everyone! 🎉
A lot of effort will reap great rewards, well done everyone 😊
Well done! Team effort wins everytime.❤
This was fascinating. Marc, your vision for Rosieres is boundless, and you have the skills to make it happen. Margo, your willingness and attention to detail are to be celebrated. The desk will be appreciated.
You have to have the most beautiful scenery of any work site. Margo is a worker. Shoe glue, that was funny. My husband would do that.
Haha, my husband has done just that!
I've gone the shoe glue route! Like, 'What do you mean, replace them?!?!? 😲 The tops still look okay, theyre comfortable, theyre all broke in, and theyre only 17 years old!!' 😂😂
I tried to glue my shoes with superglue. It took over a week to get the glue off myself.Failed miserably 😂😂❤
Well done getting that tank in place 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Crack up at the shoe glue 😂😂😂😂😂At least he got a new pair of sandals. Margot is amazing in her craft corner 😍😘
Do not be ashamed of gluing sandals back together, Marc. I do it too! Your vision and abilities are amazing!
Tank set up can be tricky. It's great that it is so large.
"I feel refreshed!" Hilarious!
All I can add is “WOW’🎉
Well done 😁 that looked like hard work shifting the aquarium 😁
Those blue floor tiles look so amazing! It's like they were designed just for that room. Yes, the "like" counter keeps scrolling upwards:)
Oh nooooo! Not the demise of the Safety Sandals! Marc is like me: fix the old shoes as they could still be functional; buy new ones for "later." I thought I was the only one who did that. I'll bet Amy loves that.🤦♀) Loving the entire storage tank vision and execution from start to finish. I look forward to seeing the aquaponics set up, the choice of fish and plants. As it's Marc, I'm expecting salmon and strawberries in a few years. (They are notoriously hard to produce.)🍓🐬
Wow! What an accomplishment! The room is looking amazing. Such beautiful travertine. Good to see Adonis too.
Wow that was hard work but it's coming together can't wait to see the outcome of this room it's going to be so relaxing for you all take care and see you soon 💕🌼🤗
What a job! It’s incredible what the three of you can accomplish. Well done! ❤
What an interesting idea! I can't wait to see the system at work Marc!. The Garden shed is going to be a super-dooper laboratory.
Look forward to seeing how the auqaponics system works out. My son wants to build a large greenhouse system. He raised fish for years. He wants to use a pond system with fish we can eat also. And the greenhouse will need to be heated as we have such cold snowy winters here.
My goodness!! I was holding my breath at eacch stage of that mammoth task! Well done all, oh and nice to see you Adonis 😊
Brilliant job everyone 🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Good job, everyone. Mark, I'm glad to see you got some new shoes.
I found it interesting that you used a fish tank for your aquaponics system. My son-in-law has been doing aquaponics for years and he doesn't use a fish tank, he uses an IBC. He has an amazing set up in his little green house. I have noticed when I looked into doing it, that everyone here in Australia just uses IBCs or other large containers possibly to stop the sun as most people have them outside in a greenhouse. They don't need to see the fish except for checking their health and feeding, etc. I hope it all goes well. Thank goodness you have Margo! She is such a blessing to you both.
I think that this was primarily a hydroponic set up and the aquarium just came with it. Marc will be using the chateau's ponds mostly as the water running through and the aquarium is at least partly something to be fun for the children to watch!
Enjoying the ingenuity and collaboration in these projects
Amazing to see the hydroponics system being installed.
good on all of you for getting that fishtank in place.
Exciting and interesting. We are looking forward to your progress.
What a job! But everything is looking so good.😊
Love the floor
Hey 👋 guys I love watching this project come together. Nice work!
Marc think lite things not heavy things. Good job everyone. Can't wait for the fishies.
That’s going to b fun to watch evolve!
Bravo les musclorssss....😊 hâte de voir le rendu, mais une belle idée. A bientôt
Best wishes
You are a group of very educated and clever people xxx😊😊😊😊
Well done, great team effort!
This is going to be awesome for your greenhouse.❤
You all are such hard workers. Looking forward t the out come of the room
Dang that looked rather heavy and I love the little leverage lesson. Thanks Marc for Margot.
Great team effort. Looking forward to what's next.
Mark I think you are amazing what you do
This was very nice. I would like to see how this all works and / or the set up. Thank you for sharing.
Well done, hard work lifting that aquarium.
Wow! Kudos to having such patience with tedious projects! All of you! ❤👏🏼👏🏼
Exciting Marc! Well done
After watching you all work so hard (and ingeniously) I feel I should get out of my seat and make a mosaic walk or strip paint off something. I probably won't do either of these things, but I so love working vicariously through you, Marc and Margot.
"It looks reasonably clean" - What a humble understatement.
Great job team!!
This is very fascinating how the fish aquarium works. WOW.
Wow, that was an exhausting team effort,but what a great result. Marc is going to be so happy in this room when it is all up and running and the children will love the fish. Love to you all K🇬🇧❤️❤️
Looks really interesting, I can’t wait to see it all set up!
Marc's shoes now can go from day to evening...
Pretty cool guys! That’s just fascinating how the system will work. Can’t wait to see it in action!
Fabulous job all. .Look forward to seeing it set up x
Marc ta famme est tellement doué! Oh lalalalala, comme artiste et plein d'autre choses aussi
Wow, its really coming along nicely ❤
Nothing like a pair of old shoes that have conformed to your feet. Marc keep wearing those old faithful shoes as long as you want. I was so worried about you guys carrying the heavy fish tank. Take care of those backs. Deborah. North Carolina 😊😊❤❤
Margot - you should wear a mask when sanding 😉
There’s a vacuum attachment on the sander that draws all dust away
Mark shoes , yehh 🙏🏻🏴 ,grt idea the aquaponics seen it done before in a programme from Alaska. You’ve all worked hard to get this area done correctly good job.👍🏻🏴
The floor looks great!
That desk should work great in that space.
What a fascinating system. I wonder whether you’ll have fish which you will eat?
That is a huge aquarium, I know that it must have been terribly heavy to move and put into place. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
I don't understand exactly how the aquaponics will work, but it will be interesting to see. The floor looks great 😊(hello Adonis)
Very enjoyable and informative😊
A hard job well done!
Wow! That was a lot of heavy lifting!
Marc is an Shoe Influencer, I bought myself such ones too. 😂
That's so funny!
What a fascinating and enjoyable video. Margot your craft corner was fun and I think you removed every trace of the gray paint. Marc your vision for the greenhouse and the completed room is so interesting. Your attachment to your trademark sandals is understandable but I’m happy you bought a new pair just in case!!! Can’t wait to see your vision continue to unfold. ❤
❤
Bahahahahaha where would Marc be without his favourite sandals ❤ Ingenious is how you rolled the Aquarium onto the flatbed truck and into position. I didn't realized hydroponic gardening is done with fish!!!
Aquaponics is hydroponics but with fish!
❤
So, are Marc and Margot going to start a side gig putting together IKEA furniture? The assembly of this cabinet looked pretty similar to IKEA but for the weight of the pieces. But seriously, what a great team you all make. Adonis, thank you for jumping in to help. My back is sore in sympathy for this heavy lifting.
But above all, I’m glad Marc sprung for some new sandals 🥰
Ha ha I’d pay good money to watch Margot and Marc put ikea furniture together. You need the volume up to hear the amount of bickering 😂
Is Margot Marc's sister, or what?!?!? They look so much alike, and work great together!! You guys are doing a fanTAStic job!!! 🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊 I enjoy all that you do, especially since I can just sit back and watch. 😂🥰🥰
They seriously behave like a brother and sister too. It's hilarious.
AMAZING! 👏👏🌟🫶
Wow that looked heavy .
How amazing to get that together and in place. I cannot, however, see the bar and wine rack??😊
Ha ha ha ha... coming soon I would think!
Подписался посмотреть что у вас получится с аквапоникой! Успехов вам!
Спасибо!
Interesting to hear about this process and how it works :) good work Margot on the desk it will be a great workspace :) what team work this is :) Look forward to seeing the finished look but wondering with all the shelving how will light get in? would you put a velux window in the roof?
It will use horticultural lighting that’s built into the specialist shelving.
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres thank you :) I had thought so :)
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
With all this work, I am hoping you will be opening a farm stand.
🤗
I've always been fascinated by hydroponic gardening as well as aquaponics... but I've never ever seen it from the ground up... you just must take us along to show us how its done, I think in many ways this could be gardening for the future.
On my what a endeavor 🎉🎉🎉
I’m always so sad to see a beautiful piece of vintage furniture ruined by upcycling to some shabby chic mess. So glad you are able to get the paint off that oak desk and restore it. That is a monster tank. I have one not quite that big but acrylic so not as heavy. Look forward to seeing fish in the tank and shellac or varnish on the oak desk.
Marc is allergic to upcycling…
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres There’s upcycling and there’s upcycling. Repurposing something you already have without destroying it is fine and it’s what you do. Destroying something for some passing fashion trend is sacrilegious. I hate seeing beautiful wood veneer painted over just to be shabby chic. I see a lot of refinishers removing that paint now, just like with Marc’s oak desk, and restoring the original wood surface. I am loving the greenhouses being restored and repurposed.
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Wow 👌 👏 ❤❤❤
I know that stuff.. Our garden club had a lecture on it at Niagara College, in St. Catharines, Ontario. They are experimenting... and I think they are working with a group somewhere in the Caribbean.
Nice job so far, man.
Hey, will you guys do an update of the château grounds and all of the foliage and landscaping you have done so far.
We'll try!
Another 50# of weight in that aquarium and that little cart would have collapsed.
Are you making a terrarium?
High possibility!
Aquaponics system
@@LostGardensofChateauRosieres can’t wait to see the episode, not what I expected for the aquaponics…the h humidity it’s gonna skyrocket in that room.
I love your 40’s music. Do you two dance?
We'd love to but we don't. It's actually Adonis and Amy who decide the music!
What sort of fish are you going to have? I assume cold water? I’d be interested to see the natural filter!
Is it my point-of-view that makes the water system of valves look 'unfinished and precarious'? This control room is going to be a sweet place to work on the various garden plans. Needs an intercom system, or not... Chuckling here.
I have a cunning plan….shades of Black Adder! It may or may not involve turnips!
Why didn't you clean the aquarium before the transport ?
Can you imagine the hand points? Uuuuuu La La!😊😊😊
I wondered that also 😊
I asked Marc the same thing and he gave me a very good and important reason but I've absolutely forgotten it. Sorry.
Why don't you User hevy-duty under your aquarium?
Not sure I fully understand the question but the cabinets underneath the aquarium were custom built for it so we re-used them.
Paint removal chemicals would have been more efficient saving a lot of time and effort.
Only if you don't factor in driving a 100 mile return journey to the DIY store to get them...
Has Marc's injury healed? I don't even notice a scar.
There's a very large scar but his legs are so tanned and scratched that it doesn't show unless you look hard!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
