Even though I have been watching from the beginning, I am still amazed at how much all of you have accomplished. I am so looking forward to what you will accomplish in the future. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
Same I have watched from the start, but until you get the recap, it’s easy to forget all the early work you all put in, just to start Reno’s. Love your chan and will keep watching. Happy and fruitful new year to you all.
This episode is second to none, guys. Being brave is doing something you're scared to do, but get on with it anyway. To live in caravans, get up every day, under those circumstances, and face each day with a vision. I've loved following you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All that work inside the chateau, including your own top-floor living quarters, plus the cottage, the driveways, stone walls, entry gates, landscaping, and necessary work to precede the landscaping. Wow.
I really don’t know what keeps you all going , day in , day out with little or no let up. What you have achieved is truly amazing and beautiful. So looking forward to see what comes next year. Alright for us sitting on our bums here just watching 😂. Happy New year to you all. May 2025 bring you joy. Xf
We have nothing but admiration for you all in your tenacity and hard work and flair. Keeping the enthusiasm up and finishing the humungous project is a lifetime achievement and reward of a lifetime. And we have been blessed to ride along with you watching every little detail being cared over and finished to the ‘enth degree. Well done all of you and we remember past friends and family who have been and gone too but who helped you along. Fallen walls and rotten finds all taken in stride and remedied….looking forward to another year of finishing and flair…
You have to watch the transformation from the beginning to believe all the tremendous work, long hours, planning and patience that is what we see today. Too beautiful to put in words!!!! Fabulous team, everyone of you 👏👏👏👏👏
From sleeping in a caravan in the dead of winter to living in a truly breathtaking Chateau! All due to your back breaking hard work, the love of family and friends, helping hands and I’m sure countless cups of tea. You’re getting there! Well done! Much love to you all xxxx👏💕🥰👏💕🥰
I don't know if anyone else had said this, but can we appreciate the phenomenal videography! They could employ a full-time videographer and editor. The quality of the renovation is a feat in and of itself. To capture the process in tandem with such excellent video is another work of art!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these videos that compare and contrast the before and after. You have done the work of large crews. You have touched every square centimeter of the chateau with love and care. I'm exhausted for you! I admire your determination and dedication, and I'm thrilled for your progress and the community of followers that support you. May 2025 be a year of continued success and much joy and love. Wishing you heaps of everything you need, boundless energy, and enriching days of rest. 😊 ❤❤❤
@chateaudelalacelle during covid, I made a couple little videos for our students. It took hours and the final product was less than 10 minutes. Sure, you get better with practice, but it still takes so much time. "Wait, let me put the camera on the floor for this one." Please tell me he has multiple cameras going. 😂

Thank you Terry for taking the time to make such a wonderful compilation! It’s wonderful to see all the progress. I am especially impressed by the improvement in your tools over the years. Hope you all have a happy new year.
It is a staggering amount of work that you have done AND this video doesn't show all the work you have done on the grounds. Y'all are amazing! Well done, best wishes and happy 2025. This old lady from her armchair in Silver Spring Maryland never misses an episode! BEST WISHES!
Amazing journey, step by step. Reminds me of the old saying “how do you eat an elephant? A bite at a time!” Cannot wait to see what you accomplish in 2025 🎊
You guys deserve everything you have conquered since the day one!!! You all are very hardworking with an immense good taste! Everything you guys touch turn into gold! Blessings in the New Year!!!❤🎉🙏🎄
Determination and VERY hard work has all paid off. It's nice to watch the results and reflect on what we have all seen happening over the last few years. Happy New Year!!
I hate to think how long this took you to put together. Thank you. Happy Christmas and a happy new year. I cannot wait to see what magic you create in 2025
It takes family, determination and passion to tackle a dream. What has been accomplished has taken all of that. A shell of a chateau, to most of us, would be the most daunting, but not you! You ran in head first charging with gusto! In the beginning, I thought this is going to take so many years, but I learned quickly...to eat my words. Never lose that passion!❤ BRAVO👏
Such a magnificent job on everything!!!❤How did you ever get the courage to take on such an enormous task? I love everything you’ve done to the chateau and the gardens and the property that go with it. Can’t wait to see the progress that is yet to come.
Thank you so much for showing this vlog .I have watched every single part of your journey and I have to say I honestly forgot the mountain you have climbed to achieve these outstanding results . As a person blessed to have stayed in the 400 suite ,the pictures as beautiful as they are just don't do it justice .As soon as you step inside and close the door it consumes you ,you breath in the atmosphere and you are ,like a time traveller ,transported back to times gone by .. Well done everyone for your attention to detail it truly is outstanding .❤️
Watching this is like being in a labor and delivery room and suffering the birth pangs, then slowly the child starts growing and developing and the joy can not be expressed in words. You are doing something important and I'm honored to be a part of it in my small way.
What you guys have managed to do in a few short years is nothing short of amazing. I thought I would hate the faux wood room, but I love it. It's so different. Every room is a new experience. I'm so glad you are doing it back to what the original style would have probably been. I can't say enough good things about it all. Thanks for taking us all on your adventure❤
What wonderful recap of the last few years ❤❤❤❤❤All that hard work has resulted in the chateau getting pretty again not to mention the gardens as well. You all should be proud of all the progress made in so little time. I’ve watched from the beginning and can’t wait to the projects for 2025 ❤❤❤❤❤Enjoy the holidays and wishing you a healthy, prosperous and happy new year 😍😘
I just love looking back at all the hard work you guys have put in over the years and seeing your cat, she's so pretty. I can't wait to see the next year of work. What a difference it will be! And I'm imagining the garden will look better and better as the years go by.
From where you started to where you are now, the team work not just between yourselves but wonderful family and friends who have supported you along the way, you have come a long way over the last few years. Not only have you transformed the chateau you have all grown in so many skill sets including Johnathan! A very happy new year to you all and the very best of wishes for 2025. X
hi and good evening to the whole lalacelle crew, nice review, incredible progress in this ammount of time !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The private rooms are beautiful and tastefully decorated. I had the great honor of being able to visit them and for that I thank you very much again ash and terry 😊🥰❤👍👍👍!
The hard work and vision have brought astonishing results! I’m an older American and I pray I live long enough to see you complete the Chateau. The beauty is breathtaking ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Healthy Happy New Year!
What an amazing achievement!!!! Only possible with great vision, extremely hard work and dedication. Congratulations. Enjoy your New Year celebration with your family. Many Blessings for 2025 💖💖💖
Love this timeline. Realtime. I cannot believe it’s the same place. Have watched each and every video at least twice since you all began this incredible, magical restoration. Saving up to book a visit from the States Dominican see this in person. On my bucket list as turning 70 this year… my Goodness what a Family you truly are. One vision one goal and everyone onboard for ALL THE HARD WORK! Many continued Bl😂sings for this New Year! Pushing your followers to like and subscribe! Get you well over the 200K mark and 300 for 3025❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Your beautiful smiles demonstrate this has been a labour of love. Such creativity, determination and teamwork. The more you do the better you become. Speechless ❤
No one will ever deny the love your amazing family has for Chateau De Lalacelle. The gardens and grounds, the main gates and so much more. Tracy, Terry and Ash, you have made magic happen. ❤
Your journey so far is absolutely stunning, you all worked so hard and wow to the vision of what you want for the chateau looking forward to new year ❤👏👏
I've enjoyed every single minute of your journey so far. I'm looking forward to 2025 and my daily dose of Escape to the dream. What a wonderful family you are.
Un grand BRAVO pour votre travail Acharné depuis 2020 .RIEN n'a été facile à cause des cheminées en mauvaises états ,des fenêtres fatiguées aux vitres manquantes , et parfois des poutres pourries .Dehors ,il faisait froid ,la végétation avait poussé partout ,de nombreux arbres ont dû être arrachés ;
Absolutely fantastic you guy's have put a lot of work into the chateau and she smiles once again can't wait to see what is coming next take care and all the very best for the New Year cheers 🍾🥂🎊
Absolutely stunning transformation, it’s so nice to see things getting finished and to such a high level not seen on other vlogs, what a pleasure to watch thanks for the ride folks beautifully documented.
I would be curious to know if any of your backgrounds prepared you for this enormous undertaking. I know you have since become experts in the field. As I have commented prior, slow and steady wins the race. So happy to be allowed to witness the brilliant craftsmanship completed thus far. I wish you well on each chapter you complete and thank all of you once again for including all of us on this incredible journey.
Enjoyed every moment of this video. Followed you from the beginning. Had the honour to stay in the stunning blue bedroom and appartment. It was an amazing unforgettable experience. You can all be só proud of what you achieved. Once again proof that what you envision can become reality. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Wishing you a great, healthy and happy 2025.
So much work done in these years and don't forget the garden stunning that is what it is and it is going to be a beautiful castle with wonderfull people who live in it . Thanks for sharing 👌👌💐
Bonne et heureuse année Quelle bonne idée de faire le récapitulatif de ces années de travaux! C'est un énorme travail. Félicitations et tous mes encouragements pour la suite . Laure de Colombiers 61
It’s been a wonderful journey seeing a family take a risk and work so hard to rebuild with such imagination and breath new life into this old Chateau. Well done 🎉
As many Chateau’s are abandoned across France and other parts of Europe, with their structural bones shot. But not this old Dame she was hanging on for her person with Vision, and an army of Family, Friends and volunteers, to help in bringing that Vision to the fore and making it so. Terry has that vision along with his Mam and Ash an army behind them. What has been achieved is miraculous and beautiful. 🙏Thank you for sharing your Vision with us 🙏👏😉❤️
Какой тяжёлый и упорный труд!!! От всей души желаю вашей чудесной команде сил и здоровья. Будьте счастливы в новом году, пусть всё ваши желания исполняться!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm so so proud of you all ❤🎉 I started watching you from the beginning of this incredible journey and you have inspired me in many many of my transformation of my home. I have had so many compliments after all my renovations from the neighbors ☺ But now I'm moving 😂 I'm started a new journey" My son an I are buying Another fixer upper and I will Continue to watch your beautiful family in the new year 2025 🎉 Sending you the biggest hugs ever 🤗 Wishing you all the absolute best in the new year ❤🎉
Through sheer hard work and incredible imagination, determination and some very special talents. Plus a little craziness of course, for taking it on in the first place. Amazing.
Your courage & work ethic is pretty inspiring! Thank you for bringing beauty into our lives. Does one of you have a background in interior design? I wish your team and all your viewers the best for 2025!
Well how was it possible, all you need is one amazing family with one amazing son with vision and the world's your Chateau. I'm so excited to be with you in the rest of your journey 💕
It’s high time the French government reward you British people for bringing back these abandon projects back to use and thus enriching the country bravo xxx
After following most of the chateau Chanel’s that have popped up since lock down, I have to say that initially I wasn’t really attracted to the exterior style of your chateau. However while other chateau may have started off prettier inside and out, I prefer the interior design and decorating that you have done. Some of the other chateau have turned out a bit bland and boring that you could be looking at any large one colour washed room anywhere in the world. But you guys have taken everything to the next level. As a family you have done an amazing job of making it unmistakable that we are looking at a glorious chateau!!! And the landscaping - wow. Plus you’ve done it mostly yourselves…total respect.🙇♀️👍
Oh my goodness! Did you ever think you’d pass the nightmarish stage to get to the glorious stage you’ve reached? Exquisitely mastered to the delight of everyone. Simply put just beautiful! Look forward to to seeing more completed in the new year.
How absolutely stunning. The whole look is authentic to the period you're recreating. Nothing looks renovated or "newly made". I must admit, in the beginning I skipped quite a few episode because I couldn't bear the mess the chateau was in. But as work progressed, I couldn't wait for every new episode , with total admiration.
I thought about just saying this was 45mins of my life that I can’t get back! But actually, it was so nice to sit down with a coffee and watch this. Nice work.
As always busy people but it will pay off in the New Year when you all start back. Just one question why has Terry not put any insulation at all in the window seat or backrest. Is he going to retro fit insulation sheets, or is there going to be a mini radiator underneath the seat in the future ie., attached to the radiator connection & regulator point we can see in the vlog. Thank you.
I didn't find your channel until you just started on the garden and have watched every since. I enjoyed this video as I was able to see it from the beginning. Love all you have done and can't wait to see all you do in the future. I love seeing old buildings being saved. God bless all and a blessed 2025 the you and all who help bring this wonderful old lady back to life. ❤
Amazing! And not everything was included. You are all incredibly talented and driven. What a treasure you have salvaged and improved upon. I can’t imagine that the chateau would have been anywhere as lovely and sumptuous as what you are creating now.
Brings tears to my eyes to see the majesty of this beautiful home returned. I have watched since you began and felt like I was working right along side of you and all family and friends..your work is more than astonishing..so much to be proud of. Bravo! Looking forward to more in the New Year. Happy New year to all at the Chateau!
Nothing short of spectacular! Not fogetting the grounds and Tracey's cottage alongside the chateau renovation. Looks like somewhere the National Trust would put a velvet rope around to preserve. The difference is, you get to live there and many will get to live that dream with you. Bravo to you all.
Answer: A magical, hard-working family all with their own vision, and desire to do a good job and the old lady chateau justice.
"What is Escape to the Dream for 1000, Pat." 😁
Even though I have been watching from the beginning, I am still amazed at how much all of you have accomplished. I am so looking forward to what you will accomplish in the future. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
Same here. Such an amazing journey! You guys are awesome! And I had to laugh when you showed all the dead creatures - everyone likes your chateau. ❤
Same I have watched from the start, but until you get the recap, it’s easy to forget all the early work you all put in, just to start Reno’s. Love your chan and will keep watching. Happy and fruitful new year to you all.
This episode is second to none, guys. Being brave is doing something you're scared to do, but get on with it anyway.
To live in caravans, get up every day, under those circumstances, and face each day with a vision.
I've loved following you.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, and when I saw those caravans, I thought to myself, 'they won't last a year.'
Bravo, you proved me wrong and I'm oh, so, glad. Beautiful!
All that work inside the chateau, including your own top-floor living quarters, plus the cottage, the driveways, stone walls, entry gates, landscaping, and necessary work to precede the landscaping. Wow.
It was true love that made it all work. I could see it and feel it every time I watched. What a blessing.
I really don’t know what keeps you all going , day in , day out with little or no let up.
What you have achieved is truly amazing and beautiful.
So looking forward to see what comes next year. Alright for us sitting on our bums here just watching 😂.
Happy New year to you all. May 2025 bring you joy. Xf
We have nothing but admiration for you all in your tenacity and hard work and flair. Keeping the enthusiasm up and finishing the humungous project is a lifetime achievement and reward of a lifetime. And we have been blessed to ride along with you watching every little detail being cared over and finished to the ‘enth degree. Well done all of you and we remember past friends and family who have been and gone too but who helped you along. Fallen walls and rotten finds all taken in stride and remedied….looking forward to another year of finishing and flair…

What a treat!!! Love the long video today! It's simply amazing, stunningly beautiful.
What are your plans for the coming year? What rooms are next?
Well how was it possible, all you need is one amazing family with one amazing son with vision and the world's your Chateau. I'm so excited to be with you in the rest of your journey 💕
It’s high time the French government reward you British people for bringing back these abandon projects back to use and thus enriching the country bravo xxx
The before and afters are very impressive. I hope you all are having some downtime to enjoy the festivities. ❤
It’s been an amazing journey…so much work and so much beauty!
After following most of the chateau Chanel’s that have popped up since lock down, I have to say that initially I wasn’t really attracted to the exterior style of your chateau. However while other chateau may have started off prettier inside and out, I prefer the interior design and decorating that you have done. Some of the other chateau have turned out a bit bland and boring that you could be looking at any large one colour washed room anywhere in the world. But you guys have taken everything to the next level. As a family you have done an amazing job of making it unmistakable that we are looking at a glorious chateau!!! And the landscaping - wow. Plus you’ve done it mostly yourselves…total respect.🙇♀️👍
Oh my goodness! Did you ever think you’d pass the nightmarish stage to get to the glorious stage you’ve reached? Exquisitely mastered to the delight of everyone. Simply put just beautiful!
Look forward to to seeing more completed in the new year.
A wonderful journey for all of you and for us to enjoy. May you have a very Happy and safe New Year, from New Zealand.
Amazing, the scope of renovations you have accomplished is mind bending. You should all be busting from pride in a labor of love well done.
How absolutely stunning. The whole look is authentic to the period you're recreating. Nothing looks renovated or "newly made". I must admit, in the beginning I skipped quite a few episode because I couldn't bear the mess the chateau was in. But as work progressed, I couldn't wait for every new episode , with total admiration.
I thought about just saying this was 45mins of my life that I can’t get back! But actually, it was so nice to sit down with a coffee and watch this. Nice work.
What an incredible video. Wonderful editing. Loved seeing all of the beginning video. You should do this every year. 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As always busy people but it will pay off in the New Year when you all start back. Just one question why has Terry not put any insulation at all in the window seat or backrest. Is he going to retro fit insulation sheets, or is there going to be a mini radiator underneath the seat in the future ie., attached to the radiator connection & regulator point we can see in the vlog. Thank you.
Your channel is by far my favorite on youtube!! Your energy and work level output is amazing. Love it.
I didn't find your channel until you just started on the garden and have watched every since. I enjoyed this video as I was able to see it from the beginning. Love all you have done and can't wait to see all you do in the future. I love seeing old buildings being saved. God bless all and a blessed 2025 the you and all who help bring this wonderful old lady back to life. ❤
Amazing! And not everything was included. You are all incredibly talented and driven. What a treasure you have salvaged and improved upon. I can’t imagine that the chateau would have been anywhere as lovely and sumptuous as what you are creating now.
Brings tears to my eyes to see the majesty of this beautiful home returned. I have watched since you began and felt like I was working right along side of you and all family and friends..your work is more than astonishing..so much to be proud of. Bravo! Looking forward to more in the New Year. Happy New year to all at the Chateau!
Nothing short of spectacular! Not fogetting the grounds and Tracey's cottage alongside the chateau renovation. Looks like somewhere the National Trust would put a velvet rope around to preserve. The difference is, you get to live there and many will get to live that dream with you. Bravo to you all.
What a remarkable stunning achievement❣️all the best wishes for your entire family in the new year and beyond. ❤️
