Thanks to our growing Patreon community, we are able to cover most the cost of our recent cherry picker rental!
Patreon funding goes directly toward renovating the historical Chateau de Lesigny!
Special thanks to our dear Patrons: Andrea, Jesse, Bernadette, Theo, and Morgan for your outstanding support of this Beau Chateau!
You can help support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community and gain access to exclusive videos, updates and more!
Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, begin our bathroom remodel project and discover what lies beneath our old tile. We explore above the garden wall, and our new friend from Honfleur, Benoit, comes to see the chateau and begin planning our future projects together!
Our "beau chateau" (The 500-year-old, Chateau De Lesigny), is located near Paris, France. Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive! We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way!
As a French/American UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture (Daphne), and a U.S. Air Force Tactical Response Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist (Ian), we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have a long road ahead of us and we are excited to share the experience with you!
You can support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community, where you can also gain access to exclusive videos and behind the scene access with Daphne and Ian! All patron funding is used to renovate this historical French Chateau. Every patron is paramount to our chateau renovations and we thank you all tremendously!

Benoit! How wonderful to see you here! Your chateau will be in great hands.
We really appreciate his passion for chateaux and renovation 🥰
No wax! Use a product called Restore it all antique dealers use to bring it back to life like new. Try on furniture and walls.😍
Benoit's works are fantastics, and he is a great man , so professionnal, so kind and sweet !
Benoit our favorite master carpenter. A master craftsman
So fun to see Benoit! Fasten your seatbelts, you're going to get things done!
That’s what we like to hear 😁👌
At this stage, Benoit needs his own merch! :D And... i'm not at all surprised that you met this lovely couple. :) Phillip is famous worldwide for his measurement techniques, envied by everyone, Benoit included
hahaha. right?
I suggest something like this, Benoit.

Congratulations on hiring Benoît! What a score!
We were lucky to have him recommended by another lovely couple 😉
@@TheBeauChateau Phillip and Anna?
I have been following Philip and Anna's progress on their château and Benoit has done some wonderful work for them...just beautiful work. You picked well with him. He's a really funny guy too!
Benoît is not only a rare specimen of his profession but also a good soul. He will not only make beautiful restaurations and new constructions which will perfectly fit into the château he will also bring good energy and his hilarious humor! Looking forward to watching him do his magic at the BEAU CHATEAU!
I follow the antics of Phillipe and Benoit on the other channel (How to Renovate a Château), and Benoit is definitely a gift! You landed a keeper with his talent.
Thank you! We have been watching How to Renovate a Chateau since before our first video! They were our biggest inspiration to start a TH-cam channel and it was very sweet to meet them and Benoit when we visited their chateau in Honfleur 🥰
I hope you got footage of Arcaia and Ziggy!
@@sfoster2911 🤣 that would be nice!!
Yay Benoit! He will keep you laughing! Great to see him helping you guys, and it’ll be quality workmanship. How wonderful.
So happy to see Benoit. He has such a great personality and will fit in nicely with you guys. It also helps that he is a master craftsman.
Genial!!! When you see what he has done for Anna and Philip this is just great news!!!!!!
We have been following Anna and Philipp’s renovations and it always inspires us! We were very pleased to meet them and Benoit. We look forward to Benoit bringing his skills and humor to our projects 🥰
Benoit is a true gem. Your chateau is in good hands!
So happy for you!
I love seeing Benoit there! You know the work is going to be pristine and the laughs will flow!
Benoit is so funny with Philipp. Benoit is truly gifted! You’re making so much progress and it looks so good everything that you’re accomplishing. Thank you for all your hard work.
Having Benoit around to help you out is just amazing news! The man is a master in his craft and such a warm and funny person. Can't wait to see his work at your chateau as well!
Benoit and Phillipe…. A true bromance.
The kitchen Benoit made for Philip and Anna is perfection. His and Philip’s banter is just a hoot! Also Nathan may turn up too! Added bonus! What a beautiful chateau and such an interesting but sad history. One wonders what the war did to so many beautiful buildings. Thank God this one will shine bright again. Youth and dedication is on your side and loads of the very best wishes from of us who follow and will follow you.
Benoit has a wonderful humour. Him and Phillip are great together
Good to see Benoît here.
We completely agree 😉

Benoit! So glad he is there. Such a master carpenter!!!
He is so knowledgeable and ready to take on projects! It gets us inspired for the many renovations we have to come 🥰
I love this video and it's great to see Benoit. It feels like the setup for an Avengers level crossover!
The chateau-verse is expanding 🤓
I suspect you will soon have a lot of new ladies subscribing now that Benoit is helping.
Benoit is an amazing carpenter. He is becoming the most famous carpenter in the world!!!!!
I'm so glad that you have Benoit on board.....he is an amazing worker and carpenter!! So happy for you!
Magnifique. Notre marant petit grand Benoit est la'. You are in good hands and you will laugh along the journey.
YAY Benoit!!!!! Everything will be perfect now, and I love that your are friends with Anna and Phillip too. What a fantastic Chateau community!
Love that you’ve got Benoit on your renovation project! He is a true artisan.
Im so happy that other chateau restorers are being drawn in to this project!
That time lapse of the garden was wonderful and Sabrina working on the ivy is adorable as always
Yay, Benoit! A positive attitude and a passion for the work is everything.
When you guys looked back on the vids you made , YOU MUST be impressed with all your hard work! You should be extremely PROUD of yourselves , truly you must . You have made such an amazing job on the chateaux , I cannot fail to be impressed by you two.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate you saying that 🥰
Sometimes it helps to take a minute and reflect on where you started 😊
@@TheBeauChateau thank you for replying , you both have very busy lives and its very much appreciated by me that you took the time to reply to me .
I'm glad to see Benoit at your chateau. He will need Phillip
We ADORE Benoit!!! So glad we found your channel. Benoit needs to bring his puppies with him to play with your pup.
Oh Benoit. I’ve seen him on Anna & Phillip’s channel. He is great! I just recently found your channel so I had to binge watch all the previous episodes. Love it. You two are awesome.
Oh I love Benoit ! He’s my favourite Frenchman !
We love Benoit!
I'm thrilled that Benoit will be working with you. He really is a true artisan as you say, and also a really funny man!
Oh yes, Benoit is very skilled and will bring a lot of knowledge (and humor) to the chateau 😊
Benoit is the best and funny 😆 great choice ... Phillip will miss him though, bromance 🤣🤣🤣
How fortunate you are to have Benoit helping you, he does such beautiful work! Can't wait to see what your garden looks like this spring. Here in the PNW it's raining and cold, but I've started chive seeds. Spring is coming!
So happy you got to meet Anna and Philipp and ultimately Benoit. He’s very talented and funny. The garden is taking shape. Looking forward to seeing the progress made in the coming months. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Thrilled to see Benoit working with you guys! His work is meticulous and he is absolutely charming. Low key: I have a minor crush on Benoit…😊
Thank you! We are very excited to have his expertise available 👌 (everyone has a crush on Benoit. It’s hard not to 😜)
Merci beaucoup ☺️
I love when chateau channels merge 😊 it’s nice to see that you can help each other and be a supportive community.
Benoit is amazing with a lovely sense of humour.
Yay, it’s Benoit!!!🥰You two are in good hands🤗
Benoit!! So good to see you out and about.
You’re in good hands with this guy!
Wonderful episode! Benoit is fantastic! He is talented and funny and will match your personalities beautifully! The garden is already magnificent. I can’t wait to see what else you do with it this spring.
How awesome that Benoit will be working with you! He's been amazing to watch at Anna and Phillip's chateau.
so good to see benoit again on this channel. He's an amazing carpenter at how renovate a chateau, he will be an amazing carpenter on your chateau ! Your chateau is magnificent, good luck for all the work
I'm so happy to see that Benoit is going to be helping you! I'm also eagerly anticipating the continued renovation of the garden/terrace, etc.
Lovely that you found Benoit!! He’s really skilled, and funny to boot! I’m on a much smaller scale but have just found 2 hidden (overgrown) staircases, and I spend at least half my time removing ivy… The other half is for refinishing parquet floors and renovating bathrooms-some of which have mold (due to a window not being opened when the room is steamy)… You’re in good hands with your new menuisier.
Yay- more opportunity to see Benoit’s work!
I think you have the right person to help you with Benoit. Have seem him working-good work.
Benoit!!! What a surprise!!! Great to see you here :)
The garden certainly is transformed. Benoit is so funny
Benoit!!!!! So happy to see him again.......
How nice to see Benoit, at your chateau!

That gentleman is a true craftsman! I'm not doubting the others but you can see & hear how much he enjoys the chateaus & the craftsmanship it took to build them.

I am new to your channel. I was sent here by "How To Renovate A Chateau.'' I have just binge watched all of your vIogs.

Hello Libby! Thank you so much for watching our videos!
