I love watching these types of channels, you are so lucky to have been invited to go to all those chateaus, I watch them all, and they really do seem like the type of people to help each other out, so I think you will be set where ever you end up.
Hello Anna, thank you for your feedback. ☺️ We will try now that so many people are interested! ☺️ Pressure is on! 🫢 Danke fürs Zuschauen! Wo lebst du? xx
Wait... at 7:41 this looks like the chateau that was "Plessis" in Angelique movies from the 1960. 😮😀 And congrats on finding your chateau. I'm watching your videos from the first slowly getting to the newest one and saw the title.
Must be great to have dad with you Denise, nothing like a father’s support. It was such an eventful trip for you all and great to see that fellow Chateau owners were very hospitable to allow you to be part of their adventures. Just got the cappuccino machine serviced preparing for the long haul massive consumption of your most wonderful episodes. We Love you both and can’t wait to we get up to date with your episodes, take care and good bloody Aussie luck 🍀 👍😇🇫🇷🙏🏰
Look this Chateau up. This is a great Chateau video of up’s and downs. Heart breakers and not giving up. Chateau Queens escape. Watch them all. Not to many❤❤
Perhaps in the interim you could share with us your visions for the Chateau... what you'd like to do with outbuildings, what you'd like your spa to look like, and what tasks you'll do yourself vs hire someone. I know you have design experience, but do you have building skills?
Ooohhh I'm really excited now, that you are looking for your chateau in our area. Thank you for mentioning our channel too. I hope your Dad had a fantastic visit Denise, your BBQ party looked lovely by the water there. Can't wait to see you both here again, we all had great fun didn't we, and we will again. We would love to see more of your Australian life too, while you keep looking for your dream Chateau xx missed you guys these last few weeks!!
Hello Jane, you are welcome! 😌🤗 We had a fantastic time here! Also thinking back of the time in France that we spend together. It was so funny and beautiful. So we felt double comfortable in the region. Because of the region and because of you all! 🤍😘🤗 We will see us again soon! 🤍🤍
Hello Leigh, thank you very much for watching again! We loved catching up with them as well! And can’t wait to go back and see them again and inspecting chateaux in the region. ☺️🤗
As I'm sure most of the chateau owners you met have told you - roof condition and heating are 2 of the biggest expenses. Best to make sure they are in good shape, or even existing as far as the heating goes. I see some of these chateau owners inside the chateau and you can see their breath it's so cold! Would be miserable.
Hello Linda, we absolutely agree. It has to be in a certain condition that those costs won’t hit us. And we are keeping an eye on those details. :) We don’t want to have a nightmare. xxx
Having your TH-cam channel can offset the costs of renovating immensely 👍. Im a retired architectural designer of almost 40 years. Renovating is extremely satisfying ❤
Great to see you back, guys. I have missed you! I'd love to see more of your property in Oz but post whenever you feel like it. Maybe there is some content in showing us how you search online for properties on the market, or you might show us what kind of chateaus you have seen online that you liked the look of. In any case, lovely to see you again!
Thank you very much for your warm welcome back 😁🤗 We will take it to our white board and hopefully create some great content around it! :) Thank you for the inspiration! 🤗😘
Hope you can find a chateau that fits. You will know when you see it. Would be interesting to see some about your life in Australia. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great update, welcome back to Australia! Would love to see your renovations at the farm, and what you find online in your continuing Chateau search, until you return to France in May. Love your videos, and enjoying your journey ❤
Thank you very much Nellie for your warm welcome ! ☺️🤍 We will keep you updated with more content from the farm as well as we just realized after so many comments, that you all wouldn’t mind seeing more of the farm and us, while we are not traveling. It’s a journey and we are very glad that you like every angle of it! 🤍❤️
Hi Daphne and Brett, one thing I have learned, watching the Chateau channels, is France is definitely on their own time schedule. This is a big investment and take the time you need. Some of the Chateau owners have said it has taken two years, to find one, buy it, and take procession of it. So knowing the region is a great first step, just a side bar, look, for Dr's and dentists as well. Good luck, and I will be following along. Love from N.Y.
Hello Joni, yes we agree. And we are definitely looking for the right place where doctors, trainstations, shops and restaurants are not to far away. Very important to us. As it’s all about location location location! :) Thank you again for watching! 🤗🤗
(French here) Are you 100% set on a chateau or some other historic buildings could be considered ? (interesting video on "Jenny's Chateau Farm" 's channel about the other options of historic french houses/buildings) In your budget you can find many beautifully renovated "Manoirs" ticking most of your boxes...sometimes lacking outbuildings but addding an architect designed SPA would still fit in budget, or a geodesic dome, or a yurt, or a treehouse, or a "houseboat" on a pond,.... Restored chateaux tend to be either ugly (think purple bathroom and ikea kitchen !) or ûber expensive... Can provide a few alternative examples if interested...
Thank you very much for your feedback! 🏰 We agreed on a chateau as we both love them and it’s just what we desire. Your outbuilding ideas are similar to what we were talking about here on the farm. So many options and versions of a unique Getaway accommodation or Spa. In the end the right property will give us the right idea. ☺️ 🤗🤗
Thanks for your most recent post.. we hope you eventually find a chateau in France to call home. We moved to Europe from Australia last year and are renovating a home. We've found the tradespeople to be extremely professional, prompt, polite and reliable not to mention the high quality of their work. They've been a real joy to work with. Best wishes
Denise I can't help telling you how stunningly gorgeous you are every time I see your video's you are flawless. Also so glad you are meeting other Chateau owners some have busted but over years of renovations good for you both to see and what is the town near the Chateau like you don't want to drive miles for groceries. Most have roofing problems costing several thousands or even a million. If you like designing maybe one that is finished or one that is not that much destroyed inside. Best of luck.
Thank you so much Virginia for your kind words and compliments. We definitely agree! It should be in reasonable conditions and a roof that doesn’t need fixing straight away. Big hugs! ☺️☺️🤗🤍
I would love to hear from you weekly. You can show what you are doing in Australia. I would love to see what Château's you are looking at. Also how do ypu plan to renovate the interor in respect of style. Are you going to keep to the beautiful antiques and French chateau styl3 or are you intending to make it more slick like Chateau de Bruges. What is your preferences. Pity you didnt get to see Anna and Ed in Bordeaux. They have been very successful and have decorated their Chateau so beautifully. Often it is not the content as much as the people in the vlogs that attract the viewers and you serm to have the magic😁
Thank you very much Debbie for your kind words! And we will take your question to the white board and we might talk about it in a future episode! Style and ideas as long as we can’t show something else. :) Big hugs! ☺️🤗
How fun for you to get to visit all those wonderful projects and meet the folks we in UTubeLand have been following for several years! I personally feel they’ve become good friends as most were discovered during the pandemic and we were so isolated. You two are adorable! And I can’t wait to explore Central France with you, albeit from my home in Georgia USA. And yes, please share some of your farm in Australia, if you have time. Happy hunting! 🥰
Thank you Ginny for your kind words! 🤍 It’s been fantastic and we are so glad that you enjoyed the journey and catching up with the other channels. ☺️☀️😍 We will show you more of Australia, now that so many people are interested, the fear is less high that people wouldn’t like it. Thank you a lot for your supportive words! Hugs to America! ☺️🤗
Yes, yes, love your content and everything you share! It's going to be so interesting to follow you as you make the upcoming important life choices. What an exciting adventure!
Great to see you back! I’d love to how you go about searching for a chateau from so far away and I’d love to see more of what you’ve renovated at your current home. Love from Southern California 💗
Love that you are sharing your journey! Now that you have an idea of what you want, I will suggest only one thing; since you want something "finished" then I suggest you get someone like Benoit who has worked with a couple Châteaus to look with you when you narrow it down to make sure things were done in a way that keeps the house healthy. Things like painting the stone or using cement instead of lime for pointing can make it difficult for proper air circulation that these homes have to have so there aren't big problems later. Folks like him could spot possible reno issues. The gentleman that Daphne and Ian have also used for things like the roof (they recently also called on Benoit so you can find both there) whose name just escaped me would also likely be good. I see so many new Châtelains coming across issues they hadn't caught before. A lot of them also say make a list of must haves and stick to making sure you get your top wants and you will be happier.
Thank you very much for this information Steph, it sounds like Benoit has a valuable knowledge about Château’s and their difficulties. We definitely will keep him in mind! Thank you for sharing this! ☺️☀️🤗🤍
Thank you for the update! Yes! Please stay in touch and keep us a part of your journey. Would love to see the farm and what you have done there. Happy Chateau Hunting from Bev in Colorado, USA
Bahahahahaha you're too funny! My husband is a Virgo too.... explains a lot now to me 😉 Yes, it's hard to find the perfect project: one Chateau Vlogger said that unfortunately for the price to come down a Chateau has to sit vacant for about 30 years but then its condition is so derelict that it could take another 30 years to renovate. I think a Spa business is a great niche idea! Wishing you luck! LOVE the out takes at the end 😍
Chateaux prices in France have gone crazy since Escape to the chateau, youtube chateau channels and Covid...10 years ago they took years to sell at a much lower price. Many niches could work and hundreds are still not looked into yet...
Thank you MaryJane! It’s fun with a Virgo! 😅😍 You are right, it’s often in bad conditions after many years. or people renovated a lot and still have to sell , but wouldn’t get their money back. (which can always happen. It’s a lifestyle to live in a chateau, not a smart investment we believe) But a Spa Business is definitely something that I would like to put in again, as it’s not often that a chateau owner would be a professional Therapist at the same time as well. ☺️ And of course it’s like the cherry on the cake when you stay somewhere nice. Who wouldn’t like to know that it’s available at least. :) A very fortuned situation. Just hoping to find the right property. And the rest will find its way. :) 😘😘
Lovely vlog! I follow all the people you went to visit since they started. One advice I might offer is keep the memento going . Don’t leave big gaps between the vlog. Make vlogs even short one just to keep the channel going.
True, tricky youtube algoritm.... Plenty of somewhat related topics to talk about : I mean....do they plan on getting married in France now that things are moving along ? Will they plan to have some type of Chateau/farm with animals ? ...?
Great you enjoyed you're stays , I follow them all .. look at 16 th Chateau .. region Lanuedoc-Roussillon .. 5.7 h 8 beds in the country ... should dash over for a barby lol 😆 I'm your neighbour Adelaide lol 😆
Thank you very much for your kind words Stephen! We try to update regularly again as people said they would still be interested even without chateau content in between. Thank you 🤍
Being French I would never choose this area but I can understand it appeals to foreigners. Central France is one of the cheapest areas, therefore you will have a bigger choice and lower prices, which is great!!!! Bonne chance !
Hello Sophie, thank you very much for your interesting input. Where would you buy and why? After we went around the regions, we liked it in Central France but we like to hear opinions like yours. Thank you again ☺️
@@Chateau_de_Londigny Central France is not appealing to us, hence the low prices. People do not go there by choice but because of the prices or because they have to move for work. The less populated départements are in Central France. Countryside is wonderful and beautiful but is not always all roses, especially in the middle of nowhere when cold and muddy. Very rural zones go with the "rural mentality"!!!!!! LOL!!!! But it is the same in all the countries 😉 There is also the question of the weather. A vlogger in Normandy said that if you go South you are sure to have hot weather, but no. In Central France, Dordogne etc the summers are very hot and the winters are very cold. The winters are less cold in Bretagne, Normandy and North of France than in Dordogne and Central France. The hotest weather all year round is on the French riviera, Provence. A very unpleasant thing to consider is the heating bill. A lovely couple who owns a château and who is not begging and grifting on Patreon said they paid 15 000€ a year. A quote from a famous person who was born and grew up in Châteauroux "what to do in Châteauroux? Leave" If you liked Central France at Xmas time, it is fine, you will enjoy it. You passed the test. Where would I buy: I made a map but impossible to send it via utube Where not to buy, see www.regions-et-departements.fr/regions-francaises - Hauts de France - Grand Est. There are a few nice places (Colmar) but the rest is either very rural or industrial (or the remains of industries) I feel landlocked there (subjectivity) I would say not a good investment short and medium term - Ile de France; Paris and surroundings, no way - Bourgogne Franche Comté, no but not for the whole area - Auvergne Rhône Alpes - Provence Alpes Côte d'azur. Very nice places in Provence but far too expensive and sort of overrated, fake (and too hot for me but it is subjective) - Occitanie - Nouvelle Aquitaine , No apart from Charente maritime, Vendée. Very trendy and expensive areas there: Arcachon, cap ferret, Saint jean de Luz ... and they have and enjoy bull fights, ferias like in Spain (Bayonne). Cruelty towards animals is a non no for me. And again too hot - Centre Val de Loire, No apart Orléans and surroundings To help you make up your mind there is the question of "la taxe foncière" (+/- council tax). In some places it is extortion. Something else I would consider is "if one day we want to sell, what happens? easy? not easy? At what price?" In central France, expensive properties (châteaux) will sell the price you paid for them 10/15 years ago. It is a loss and a double loss because it means no added value and all the money spent for the renovations is gone in smoke. I have not watched yet all your vlogs. So far I understand that you want to buy a château to create a spa business, for local clients? For clients from abroad who would stay at the château during spas session? I know nothing about spas, I have already been to thalassotherapy but never been to a spa. Viel Glück (not quite sure of that one because I have not been practising for a while and declination and the verb at the end.... 🥵 ☺
Keep us updated,,, But would like to get to know you both better with videos of your farm renovation..So if possible one video per week would be great.
How lovely you met some of my favorite people on TH-cam. Good luck with your search. Weekly vlogs would be nice if you have the time. Bloopers are great 😂😂😂Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thank you Rosemarie! We are glad that the people we met are some of your favorites. Ours definitely as well! 😍😃 We try to update weekly 😌 Hope it works! Bloopers included! 🤪
You are such lovely people. Post whatever you find interesting from Australia!!! Watching your journey thus far has been amazing. You’ve met some fantastic people already!
The both of you are doing this the right way, financially you are talking and thinking correctly why spend money and time when your ready to start a business. Many of the diy chateau s are having fun getting to the end result. I’m a senior naval officer in theRCN, ywifes an interior designer, we have been fortunate with a home, cottage as well as a place in Fort Lauderdale, a lot of time and money wasted redoing all three. Keep doing weekly, it would be nice to see what you guys have there etc🇨🇦
Thank you Shane for your positive feedback! It’s sounds like you both knew what you were doing! Would be nice to see what you created! Hope to have you along the journey! Thank you a lot! warm regards to Canada! ☀️☀️☀️☀️
Just saw a lovely little chateau yesterday on French Character Homes, only has 2.5 hectares tho, did have a 2 story barn that would be a great spa space!
Let's hope your buying efforts don't take too long as you are obviously keen to get started. I believe purchasing can be a very long project in itself. I hear there are plenty of chateaus for sale so that's a bonus of sorts. Best wishes.
Hello Shirley, yes of course we would love to find one but you are right, it probably will take a little longer. 😌 But it’s not long until May and who knows. ☺️ Thank you 😘
The problem with finding a place completely renovated can be a nightmare, as there is so much bad taste and disrespect to the materials used...dropped ceilings with spotlights all over, chesterfield type quilted walls for headboards, plastic crown mouldings and fresco's that look like the cheapest paint by numbers kits DO NOT CUT IT!!!!! and when they start in with all beige/grey/grege/blanc cassé/sea green/dusty rose/ powder blue....just any color used in a monotone is enough to make anyone with a minimum of taste and color perception above the normal feel violently ill....decorating after a movie of a famous personage from Hollywood with Hollywood Regency decoration as the set designers references would turn Madame Pompadour over in her grave round and round and round like a record baby,right round round round.....
Hello Kevin, thank you for your comment. It’s true to say that some of the renovations went terribly wrong! Those historic places should be treated with a sense for its historical period. In the end people have their very own taste and sometimes not everyone will agree on their plans. It’s the same with people as well. Not everyone likes each other. We often have to accept the fact that we are all different with different opinions, styles and taste. Thank you again!
@@Chateau_de_Londigny The number of places wearing a layer of cement from the 1950's up through the 2000's, and I'm willing to be there are still some people slapping it over granite and lime mortar walls as you read this!!! The number of cheap plastic mouldings being glued up is atrocious, and they all look alike...
We are soo excited for you guys! How nice that you are going to be so close to us too! 😁 really looking forward for your journey to really begin! We will be watching and supporting you every step of the way! Bonne chance! 🍀 ❤
Thank you very much! We hope that we will get there one day in the near future. ☺️ We loved the region and we loved the people! ☺️🤗😏 Keep your eyes and ears open and if you see anything that we maybe missed, let us know. we hope to see you again! 😘🤍☀️
Oh thank you very much Jackie! 🤗☺️😘😍 We will try now that so many people would love to get updates even without chateaux to show at the moment! Thank you again 😘
Great to see you guys have enjoyed your trip and are back home safe and well😉It must have been a fantastic experience to drive around different regions in France looking for the place you may call home in the future.I agree with you both regarding what type/condition the Chateau should be in when you purchase it.If you are both very practically minded and handy and not scared of hard work,then a place requiring renovation is the best option.That will keep you busy and also give you the chance to put your own touch on the property🙂 Looking forward to following your chanel in the up and comming months. Mike and Gina👍🥰
Thank you Mike and Gina! We are definitely hard workers. We did that here on the farm and transformed it within a short time. Friends and people were impressed and this taught us that we can do it again and in a bigger scale. Brett very very handy and me very creative and hands on as well! :) Teamwork makes the dream work! ☺️☀️ It sounds like you did the same!? :) Thank you for your support. 🤗
Thank you for the update , at lest u have a very good plan and know now what u want , even just going to France itself u have to know idea whether its the place for u . Would be nice to see your Aussie Farm and what u do there i guess . May not that far away so thats going to be exciting .
Hello Keith, trying to give updates regularly as people now commented that they would love to see more of our farm and from us even if it’s not around chateaus. :) 🤗
I was wondering if you could tell more about when you will move to France what documents you will need. Will you change your residence to France, is that easy? Can you buy a property as foreigners, you know the whole process. Thanks and good luck with the project.
We are trying to get all the answers for ourselves as well. We will share them with you, when we have got the actual facts. :) back to France in May and getting more informations soon. Thank you for watching and hope to keep you with us on the journey. ☀️
@@Chateau_de_Londigny We have the same dream and I was wondering if it isnt better to by it through a company we make. Also the Australian currency is closer to the euro then our Brasilian real ;-(
Love you guys, absolutely want more from you, cannot wait to c what you find in the future and to show us your Reno's on the place you live in now, I think that its just as exciting for me as it is for you. Keep us update Please..... 🏰
Better the condition higher the price.....however longer term less headache and unknown cost......a bit smaller much less the cost to run, heating is a major problem in the old stone.
You two are so charming to watch! I look forward to following you chateau hunt! Your farm is so beautiful that it must have been a hard decision to eventually sell it. One question for you - will you sell it now and relocate to France while you’re searching for a property? It seems like it would be better to be close to the area you want to live so you can see properties when they are listed and be in a position to negotiate quickly. I’ll be following your story 🥰
Thank you very much for following the journey! 🤍 We won’t put our farm on the market until we haven’t found the right property. We both are running our businesses in Australia. And the Spa business is right on side. So we will put our farm on the market when we are sure to sell everything. House and one business. :) We still will be able to go to France and look around again and also visiting family in Germany. :) ☺️🤗Thank you again for watching! ☺️☺️☺️🤗
Thanks for the update. As a new "friend", I for one would be very interested in what you do leading up to your return to France in May. Normal Aussie living aside, will you find things & create sort of a mood board for your image of your Chateau? Does being a Virgo (I don’t know any) & your desire for "near perfection & symmetry" spill INSIDE the house as well? If so, you may need dial a doc because that may prove a bit frustrating. Loving the content so far guys.
Thank you! :) We have a folder where we keep our list and our wishes for the chateau. Fun fact: We lost our bag coming back to Australia and the folder was in there! 🥺 But after 1 week we were lucky to get an email that they found our bag and the folder as well as the microphones and other valuables we got back! :) Symmetry as in, on the outside of a building that looks nice. No doctor needed 🤭 thank you for watching! 🤗☺️☀️
@@rsmith1820 We are glad that we have the bag back! That was a roller coaster ride! yes! Abby didn’t stop kissing us! 🐕 She was over the moon when we got back! And all our big animals too! We missed them too. 😌
Welcome back. Glad you guys had a good trip. It seems that you have the right mindset in that you will have to look at numerous properties and it may take a while. I looked at more than 20 properties over a 3 year period. One seller backed out of the transaction after we signed the Compromis de Vente which was a disappointment. The good news is I flew over from the US a few days ago and will sign the Acte de Vente to purchase my property tomorrow afternoon and receive the keys. The champagne is chilling now. I look forward to seeing your journey. Cheers-
Thank you so much Glen! We hope that we will make right decisions and also find what we are looking for. It’s finally happening for you! What an exciting day. We wish you a fantastic day and that everything goes to plan! And then enjoy your champagne and your new life in France! 🥂 🥐🇫🇷☺️
Hi guys, you should buy the chateau from escape to the chateau, it’s has been renovated with 9 bedrooms plus a self contained unit. And much more. Price is just under 1.3 million Australian dollars. 😊
Hello Narelle, thank you. We have a look. I think you mean the couple that was on DIY and is selling theirs? Maybe we already know this one. We will have a look! Thank you a lot! 🤗😊🏰☺️
Hi. We have friends who have a chateau which will be going on the market next week. 6 bedrooms, 12 acres, 2 outbuildings, good condition, mains gas central heating. If you are interested in details please do get in touch. Good luck with your search. Debbie
I have 2 more links for you too watch called Queen's Escape. I just found this one on you tube. They had some real problems buying a Cheatue. They were used to jack up prices for the owners then it would be sold right out from them. Buyer beware.
I forgot the links here you go. They just their Cheatue 3 months ago. th-cam.com/video/qjfg81ewyxs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/hHM3kzc8hyQ/w-d-xo.html
Looks like the 2 of you had a great holiday. Yes we would love to see your Australia farm and what you do around home on weekly basis. This is a link From Bordeaux Life this is Edd and Anna. They just showed a video last week with a Cheatue for sale. Edd and Anna live in Bordeaux. You should contact them they know many Cheatue owners. th-cam.com/video/TYHmiZWW5Kw/w-d-xo.html
Hello Michelle, thank you very much for the link. We will have a look! Someone else mentioned the chateau they been showing last week! Thank you again! 🤗🤗🤗
@SELLING UP & buying a chateau Also Stephanie Jarvis also showed a Cheatue for sale but it was in the summer I don't know if it is still for sale or not. If you contact Edd and Anna through email they could get you in contact with Stephanie.
SWOT analysis; followed by 10 more brutally honest SWOT analyses is my considered advice . Can’t see your current Ozzie /German definition of a rural wellness retreat transposing very successfully to cosmopolitan central France . There must ALREADY be many boutique hotels & beautiful historic manoirs within comfortable distance of Paris offering such experiences. Unless you have millions to spend on a beautifully stylish chic comfortable building , w guarantee of proficient , experienced wellness staff nearby , I worry you could be making the same expensive mistakes many other expats on YT have by following their dreams without a thorough business plan . Could u share more ab the one u ran in Berlin ; photos, etc so your vision is a bit clearer ...& how different or similar you want the French business to be . And why France, etc . SWOT, SWOT, SWOT . Unless, of course , money & time is no object
I love watching these types of channels, you are so lucky to have been invited to go to all those chateaus, I watch them all, and they really do seem like the type of people to help each other out, so I think you will be set where ever you end up.
Thank you for the updates! Once a week video about Australia and new updates about France sounds wonderful!
Vielen Dank!
Hello Anna, thank you for your feedback. ☺️ We will try now that so many people are interested! ☺️ Pressure is on! 🫢 Danke fürs Zuschauen! Wo lebst du? xx

From a fellow chateauowner, it"s location location location that matters ! And speaking some French is a must,. Good luck !😀

Lovely to see you meeting up with other chateau owners that I follow and that your trip was helpful . Can’t wait to see chateaux that you look at
Hello Leigh, thank you very much for watching again! We loved catching up with them as well!
And can’t wait to go back and see them again and inspecting chateaux in the region. ☺️🤗

Im a retired architectural designer of almost 40 years. Renovating is extremely satisfying ❤

It’s a journey and we are very glad that you like every angle of it! 🤍❤️
Hi Daphne and Brett, one thing I have learned, watching the Chateau channels, is France is definitely on their own time schedule. This is a big investment and take the time you need. Some of the Chateau owners have said it has taken two years, to find one, buy it, and take procession of it. So knowing the region is a great first step, just a side bar, look, for Dr's and dentists as well. Good luck, and I will be following along. Love from N.Y.
Hello Joni, yes we agree. And we are definitely looking for the right place where doctors, trainstations, shops and restaurants are not to far away. Very important to us. As it’s all about location location location! :)
Thank you again for watching! 🤗🤗
(French here)
Are you 100% set on a chateau or some other historic buildings could be considered ? (interesting video on "Jenny's Chateau Farm" 's channel about the other options of historic french houses/buildings)
In your budget you can find many beautifully renovated "Manoirs" ticking most of your boxes...sometimes lacking outbuildings but addding an architect designed SPA would still fit in budget, or a geodesic dome, or a yurt, or a treehouse, or a "houseboat" on a pond,....
Restored chateaux tend to be either ugly (think purple bathroom and ikea kitchen !) or ûber expensive...
Can provide a few alternative examples if interested...
Thank you very much for your feedback! 🏰 We agreed on a chateau as we both love them and it’s just what we desire.
Your outbuilding ideas are similar to what we were talking about here on the farm. So many options and versions of a unique Getaway accommodation or Spa.
In the end the right property will give us the right idea. ☺️ 🤗🤗
Thanks for your most recent post.. we hope you eventually find a chateau in France to call home. We moved to Europe from Australia last year and are renovating a home. We've found the tradespeople to be extremely professional, prompt, polite and reliable not to mention the high quality of their work. They've been a real joy to work with. Best wishes
Thank you Rowan! Where did you move too? Sounds great! And fantastic that you had positive experiences! :)
Denise I can't help telling you how stunningly gorgeous you are every time I see your video's you are flawless.
Also so glad you are meeting other Chateau owners some have busted but over years of renovations good for you both to see and what is the town near the Chateau like you don't want to drive miles for groceries. Most have roofing problems costing several thousands or even a million. If you like designing maybe one that is finished or one that is not that much destroyed inside. Best of luck.
Thank you so much Virginia for your kind words and compliments.
We definitely agree! It should be in reasonable conditions and a roof that doesn’t need fixing straight away.
Big hugs! ☺️☺️🤗🤍
You Both No The One When For In Love With Your Chateau 🏰💕
Enjoying your videos. Best of luck on your journey to find the perfect chateau for you.
Thank you Lucy! 🤗🤗
I would love to hear from you weekly. You can show what you are doing in Australia. I would love to see what Château's you are looking at. Also how do ypu plan to renovate the interor in respect of style. Are you going to keep to the beautiful antiques and French chateau styl3 or are you intending to make it more slick like Chateau de Bruges. What is your preferences. Pity you didnt get to see Anna and Ed in Bordeaux. They have been very successful and have decorated their Chateau so beautifully. Often it is not the content as much as the people in the vlogs that attract the viewers and you serm to have the magic😁
Thank you very much Debbie for your kind words! And we will take your question to the white board and we might talk about it in a future episode! Style and ideas as long as we can’t show something else. :)
Big hugs! ☺️🤗
How fun for you to get to visit all those wonderful projects and meet the folks we in UTubeLand have been following for several years! I personally feel they’ve become good friends as most were discovered during the pandemic and we were so isolated. You two are adorable! And I can’t wait to explore Central France with you, albeit from my home in Georgia USA. And yes, please share some of your farm in Australia, if you have time. Happy hunting! 🥰
Thank you Ginny for your kind words! 🤍 It’s been fantastic and we are so glad that you enjoyed the journey and catching up with the other channels. ☺️☀️😍 We will show you more of Australia, now that so many people are interested, the fear is less high that people wouldn’t like it. Thank you a lot for your supportive words! Hugs to America! ☺️🤗
Yes, yes, love your content and everything you share! It's going to be so interesting to follow you as you make the upcoming important life choices. What an exciting adventure!
Thank you so much Linda! Where are you watching from? ☺️🤗😘
@@Chateau_de_Londigny I am in Wisconsin, USA!
Il faut du temps pour trouver le bon endroit 🙏🙏🙏😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Exactement! pas à pas! Merci! 😘☺️🇫🇷🇦🇺
Great to see you back! I’d love to how you go about searching for a chateau from so far away and I’d love to see more of what you’ve renovated at your current home.
Love from Southern California 💗
Hello Mary,
thank you! 🤍🤗 We will try to show more ! Hugs to America
Love that you are sharing your journey! Now that you have an idea of what you want, I will suggest only one thing; since you want something "finished" then I suggest you get someone like Benoit who has worked with a couple Châteaus to look with you when you narrow it down to make sure things were done in a way that keeps the house healthy. Things like painting the stone or using cement instead of lime for pointing can make it difficult for proper air circulation that these homes have to have so there aren't big problems later. Folks like him could spot possible reno issues. The gentleman that Daphne and Ian have also used for things like the roof (they recently also called on Benoit so you can find both there) whose name just escaped me would also likely be good. I see so many new Châtelains coming across issues they hadn't caught before. A lot of them also say make a list of must haves and stick to making sure you get your top wants and you will be happier.
Thank you very much for this information Steph, it sounds like Benoit has a valuable knowledge about Château’s and their difficulties. We definitely will keep him in mind!
Thank you for sharing this! ☺️☀️🤗🤍
Looking forward to any content! Would love to see what you did at the farm.
Hello Ally, we will try to show more! 😘😘😘
Thank you for the update! Yes! Please stay in touch and keep us a part of your journey. Would love to see the farm and what you have done there. Happy Chateau Hunting from Bev in Colorado, USA
Thank you very much Bev! We will try to update you and showing you more of our Farm here. 😘☺️🤗
Thanks for the update! No worries! All will be well and remember, its a journey!
Thank you Donna! Yes you are right. It’s a journey. 😌 Thank you for your support! ☺️😘
More,more,more,please.❤
Thank you Pam! 🤍☺️🤗 We will try as many people would like to see more! 🤍
Bahahahahaha you're too funny! My husband is a Virgo too.... explains a lot now to me 😉 Yes, it's hard to find the perfect project: one Chateau Vlogger said that unfortunately for the price to come down a Chateau has to sit vacant for about 30 years but then its condition is so derelict that it could take another 30 years to renovate. I think a Spa business is a great niche idea! Wishing you luck! LOVE the out takes at the end 😍
Chateaux prices in France have gone crazy since Escape to the chateau, youtube chateau channels and Covid...10 years ago they took years to sell at a much lower price.
Many niches could work and hundreds are still not looked into yet...
Thank you MaryJane! It’s fun with a Virgo! 😅😍 You are right, it’s often in bad conditions after many years.
or people renovated a lot and still have to sell , but wouldn’t get their money back. (which can always happen. It’s a lifestyle to live in a chateau, not a smart investment we believe)
But a Spa Business is definitely something that I would like to put in again, as it’s not often that a chateau owner would be a professional Therapist at the same time as well. ☺️ And of course it’s like the cherry on the cake when you stay somewhere nice. Who wouldn’t like to know that it’s available at least. :)
A very fortuned situation.
Just hoping to find the right property.
And the rest will find its way. :) 😘😘
very true what you are saying!
Lovely vlog! I follow all the people you went to visit since they started. One advice I might offer is keep the memento going . Don’t leave big gaps between the vlog. Make vlogs even short one just to keep the channel going.
True, tricky youtube algoritm....
Plenty of somewhat related topics to talk about :
I mean....do they plan on getting married in France now that things are moving along ? Will they plan to have some type of Chateau/farm with animals ? ...?
Hello Nicole, thank you for watching! We will take your advice on board! ☺️😘🤗
It is good to see you again. I wish you luck in your chateau search.
Thank you very much Peter! ☺️☀️🤗
Great you enjoyed you're stays , I follow them all .. look at 16 th Chateau .. region Lanuedoc-Roussillon .. 5.7 h 8 beds in the country ... should dash over for a barby lol 😆 I'm your neighbour Adelaide lol 😆
Thanks Tee Pee! Adelaide! :) Nice! Thank you for watching! ☺️😁🥳
Once a week updates , about Chateau or Australia is good. Love following along on your journey. Your a beautiful couple. ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you very much for your kind words Stephen! We try to update regularly again as people said they would still be interested even without chateau content in between. Thank you 🤍
I enjoyed your video. Interesting.
Being French I would never choose this area but I can understand it appeals to foreigners.
Central France is one of the cheapest areas, therefore you will have a bigger choice and lower prices, which is great!!!! Bonne chance !
Hello Sophie,
thank you very much for your interesting input. Where would you buy and why?
After we went around the regions, we liked it in Central France but we like to hear opinions like yours. Thank you again ☺️
@@Chateau_de_Londigny Central France is not appealing to us, hence the low prices. People do not go there by choice but because of the prices or because they have to move for work.
The less populated départements are in Central France.
Countryside is wonderful and beautiful but is not always all roses, especially in the middle of nowhere when cold and muddy.
Very rural zones go with the "rural mentality"!!!!!! LOL!!!! But it is the same in all the countries 😉
There is also the question of the weather.
A vlogger in Normandy said that if you go South you are sure to have hot weather, but no. In Central France, Dordogne etc
the summers are very hot and the winters are very cold. The winters are less cold in Bretagne, Normandy and North of France than in Dordogne and Central France.
The hotest weather all year round is on the French riviera, Provence.
A very unpleasant thing to consider is the heating bill. A lovely couple who owns a château and who is not begging and grifting on Patreon said they paid 15 000€ a year.
A quote from a famous person who was born and grew up in Châteauroux "what to do in Châteauroux? Leave"
If you liked Central France at Xmas time, it is fine, you will enjoy it. You passed the test.
Where would I buy: I made a map but impossible to send it via utube
Where not to buy, see www.regions-et-departements.fr/regions-francaises
- Hauts de France
- Grand Est. There are a few nice places (Colmar) but the rest is either very rural or industrial (or the remains of industries)
I feel landlocked there (subjectivity)
I would say not a good investment short and medium term
- Ile de France; Paris and surroundings, no way
- Bourgogne Franche Comté, no but not for the whole area
- Auvergne Rhône Alpes
- Provence Alpes Côte d'azur. Very nice places in Provence but far too expensive and sort of overrated, fake (and too hot for me but it is subjective)
- Occitanie
- Nouvelle Aquitaine , No apart from Charente maritime, Vendée. Very trendy and expensive areas there: Arcachon, cap ferret, Saint jean de Luz ... and they have and enjoy bull fights, ferias like in Spain (Bayonne). Cruelty towards animals is a non no for me. And again too hot
- Centre Val de Loire, No apart Orléans and surroundings
To help you make up your mind there is the question of "la taxe foncière" (+/- council tax). In some places it is extortion.
Something else I would consider is "if one day we want to sell, what happens? easy? not easy? At what price?" In central France, expensive properties (châteaux) will sell the price you paid for them 10/15 years ago. It is a loss and a double loss because it means no added value and all the money spent for the renovations is gone in smoke.
I have not watched yet all your vlogs. So far I understand that you want to buy a château to create a spa business, for local clients? For clients from abroad who would stay at the château during spas session? I know nothing about spas, I have already been to thalassotherapy but never been to a spa.
Viel Glück (not quite sure of that one because I have not been practising for a while and declination and the verb at the end.... 🥵
☺
Keep us updated,,, But would like to get to know you both better with videos of your farm renovation..So if possible one video per week would be great.
We will try to keep you updated and also show you some projects.
🤗🤗🤗
How lovely you met some of my favorite people on TH-cam. Good luck with your search. Weekly vlogs would be nice if you have the time. Bloopers are great 😂😂😂Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thank you Rosemarie! We are glad that the people we met are some of your favorites. Ours definitely as well! 😍😃 We try to update weekly 😌 Hope it works! Bloopers included! 🤪
I did wonder how you were going. Here's hoping the perfect place pops up soon
Thank you Angela! 😘😘
You are such lovely people. Post whatever you find interesting from Australia!!! Watching your journey thus far has been amazing. You’ve met some fantastic people already!
Hello John, thank you very much for watching again! You are still with us and it’s great to know! Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! 🤗
The both of you are doing this the right way, financially you are talking and thinking correctly why spend money and time when your ready to start a business. Many of the diy chateau s are having fun getting to the end result. I’m a senior naval officer in theRCN, ywifes an interior designer, we have been fortunate with a home, cottage as well as a place in Fort Lauderdale, a lot of time and money wasted redoing all three.
Keep doing weekly, it would be nice to see what you guys have there etc🇨🇦
Thank you Shane for your positive feedback! It’s sounds like you both knew what you were doing! Would be nice to see what you created!
Hope to have you along the journey!
Thank you a lot! warm regards to Canada! ☀️☀️☀️☀️
Great job guys....what a whirlwind.....two beautiful people. Fun times.
Thank you Rhonda! ☺️☺️🤗
Just saw a lovely little chateau yesterday on French Character Homes, only has 2.5 hectares tho, did have a 2 story barn that would be a great spa space!
Thank you very much Pansy for this information! We will have a look! ☀️🏰😏☺️
Let's hope your buying efforts don't take too long as you are obviously keen to get started. I believe purchasing can be a very long project in itself. I hear there are plenty of chateaus for sale so that's a bonus of sorts. Best wishes.
Hello Shirley, yes of course we would love to find one but you are right, it probably will take a little longer. 😌 But it’s not long until May and who knows. ☺️
Thank you 😘
The problem with finding a place completely renovated can be a nightmare, as there is so much bad taste and disrespect to the materials used...dropped ceilings with spotlights all over, chesterfield type quilted walls for headboards, plastic crown mouldings and fresco's that look like the cheapest paint by numbers kits DO NOT CUT IT!!!!! and when they start in with all beige/grey/grege/blanc cassé/sea green/dusty rose/ powder blue....just any color used in a monotone is enough to make anyone with a minimum of taste and color perception above the normal feel violently ill....decorating after a movie of a famous personage from Hollywood with Hollywood Regency decoration as the set designers references would turn Madame Pompadour over in her grave round and round and round like a record baby,right round round round.....
Hello Kevin, thank you for your comment. It’s true to say that some of the renovations went terribly wrong! Those historic places should be treated with a sense for its historical period. In the end people have their very own taste and sometimes not everyone will agree on their plans. It’s the same with people as well. Not everyone likes each other. We often have to accept the fact that we are all different with different opinions, styles and taste.
Thank you again!
@@Chateau_de_Londigny The number of places wearing a layer of cement from the 1950's up through the 2000's, and I'm willing to be there are still some people slapping it over granite and lime mortar walls as you read this!!! The number of cheap plastic mouldings being glued up is atrocious, and they all look alike...
We are soo excited for you guys! How nice that you are going to be so close to us too! 😁 really looking forward for your journey to really begin! We will be watching and supporting you every step of the way! Bonne chance! 🍀 ❤
Thank you very much! We hope that we will get there one day in the near future. ☺️ We loved the region and we loved the people! ☺️🤗😏 Keep your eyes and ears open and if you see anything that we maybe missed, let us know. we hope to see you again! 😘🤍☀️

Thank you very much Sue! 🤍🤍 🏰
Please show renovations of the farm.!
Good luck to me 5 years to find the one ❤❤
Good luck from us as well! 🤍
I would love to see weekly videos. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Oh thank you very much Jackie! 🤗☺️😘😍 We will try now that so many people would love to get updates even without chateaux to show at the moment!
Thank you again 😘
I love that you picked the location to be close to new friends. I’m excited for your own Journey to a Chateau.
Great to see you guys have enjoyed your trip and are back home safe and well😉It must have been a fantastic experience to drive around different regions in France looking for the place you may call home in the future.I agree with you both regarding what type/condition the Chateau should be in when you purchase it.If you are both very practically minded and handy and not scared of hard work,then a place requiring renovation is the best option.That will keep you busy and also give you the chance to put your own touch on the property🙂
Looking forward to following your chanel in the up and comming months.
Mike and Gina👍🥰
Thank you Mike and Gina! We are definitely hard workers. We did that here on the farm and transformed it within a short time. Friends and people were impressed and this taught us that we can do it again and in a bigger scale. Brett very very handy and me very creative and hands on as well! :) Teamwork makes the dream work! ☺️☀️
It sounds like you did the same!? :) Thank you for your support. 🤗
Would be very interested in seeing the farm and what you've done with it. Good luck with the search.
hello Elisabeth, now that so many people said the same, we will try! :) Thank you for watching! 😘🤗☺️
Thank you for the update , at lest u have a very good plan and know now what u want , even just going to France itself u have to know idea whether its the place for u . Would be nice to see your Aussie Farm and what u do there i guess . May not that far away so thats going to be exciting .
Hello Keith,
trying to give updates regularly as people now commented that they would love to see more of our farm and from us even if it’s not around chateaus. :) 🤗
Thanks for the update! Yes please take us along on your journey and I’d love to see your current place!
Hello Marie, we try to show you more! ☺️🤗😘 Thank you
I was wondering if you could tell more about when you will move to France what documents you will need. Will you change your residence to France, is that easy? Can you buy a property as foreigners, you know the whole process. Thanks and good luck with the project.
We are trying to get all the answers for ourselves as well. We will share them with you, when we have got the actual facts. :)
back to France in May and getting more informations soon.
Thank you for watching and hope to keep you with us on the journey. ☀️
@@Chateau_de_Londigny We have the same dream and I was wondering if it isnt better to by it through a company we make. Also the Australian currency is closer to the euro then our Brasilian real ;-(
Love you guys, absolutely want more from you, cannot wait to c what you find in the future and to show us your Reno's on the place you live in now, I think that its just as exciting for me as it is for you. Keep us update Please..... 🏰
Hello Sharon, thank you so much for your kind words! We hope to keep you excited along the journey. 🤍🤗😘
Better the condition higher the price.....however longer term less headache and unknown cost......a bit smaller much less the cost to run, heating is a major problem in the old stone.
Thank you for your comment! The heating is something we definitely consider to be the right one and working!
You two are so charming to watch! I look forward to following you chateau hunt! Your farm is so beautiful that it must have been a hard decision to eventually sell it. One question for you - will you sell it now and relocate to France while you’re searching for a property? It seems like it would be better to be close to the area you want to live so you can see properties when they are listed and be in a position to negotiate quickly. I’ll be following your story 🥰
Thank you very much for following the journey! 🤍 We won’t put our farm on the market until we haven’t found the right property. We both are running our businesses in Australia. And the Spa business is right on side.
So we will put our farm on the market when we are sure to sell everything. House and one business. :)
We still will be able to go to France and look around again and also visiting family in Germany. :) ☺️🤗Thank you again for watching! ☺️☺️☺️🤗
Thanks for the update. As a new "friend", I for one would be very interested in what you do leading up to your return to France in May.
Normal Aussie living aside, will you find things & create sort of a mood board for your image of your Chateau?
Does being a Virgo (I don’t know any) & your desire for "near perfection & symmetry" spill INSIDE the house as well?
If so, you may need dial a doc because that may prove a bit frustrating.
Loving the content so far guys.
Thank you! :) We have a folder where we keep our list and our wishes for the chateau. Fun fact: We lost our bag coming back to Australia and the folder was in there! 🥺 But after 1 week we were lucky to get an email that they found our bag and the folder as well as the microphones and other valuables we got back! :)
Symmetry as in, on the outside of a building that looks nice. No doctor needed 🤭

yes! Abby didn’t stop kissing us! 🐕 She was over the moon when we got back! And all our big animals too! We missed them too. 😌
Welcome back. Glad you guys had a good trip. It seems that you have the right mindset in that you will have to look at numerous properties and it may take a while. I looked at more than 20 properties over a 3 year period. One seller backed out of the transaction after we signed the Compromis de Vente which was a disappointment. The good news is I flew over from the US a few days ago and will sign the Acte de Vente to purchase my property tomorrow afternoon and receive the keys. The champagne is chilling now. I look forward to seeing your journey. Cheers-
Thank you so much Glen! We hope that we will make right decisions and also find what we are looking for.
It’s finally happening for you! What an exciting day. We wish you a fantastic day and that everything goes to plan! And then enjoy your champagne and your new life in France! 🥂 🥐🇫🇷☺️

@@Chateau_de_Londignychateau I would love to see what you have done in Australia. I have traveled to 43 countries, but never to Australia.
SWOT analysis; followed by 10 more brutally honest SWOT analyses is my considered advice . Can’t see your current Ozzie /German definition of a rural wellness retreat transposing very successfully to cosmopolitan central France . There must ALREADY be many boutique hotels & beautiful historic manoirs within comfortable distance of Paris offering such experiences. Unless you have millions to spend on a beautifully stylish chic comfortable building , w guarantee of proficient , experienced wellness staff nearby , I worry you could be making the same expensive mistakes many other expats on YT have by following their dreams without a thorough business plan .
Could u share more ab the one u ran in Berlin ; photos, etc so your vision is a bit clearer ...& how different or similar you want the French business to be . And why France, etc . SWOT, SWOT, SWOT . Unless, of course , money & time is no object
Thank you for the advice! Many things to consider! ☀️

@@Chateau_de_Londigny Very modern and stripped of most of its charm, sadly.
