About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK and Escape to rural France to restore this beautiful building to its former glory.

I do think reinstating the original sun dial is a great idea. One concern I have is that you are creating a beautiful vista which extends down to the various terraced levels. I would be cautious about having anything that will grow to a great height in the middle because you could lose the grand view that you have now been opening up. Yew trees in the middle in the formal garden that grow unchecked might be too much. But of course they can be pruned and shaped. At any rate, I do love seeing the collective enthusiasm and effort set forth, and think your progress is remarkable! Kudos!

If you decide on a statue, may I suggest the patroness of France, Jeanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc). She epitomizes Tracy's perseverance and persistence. Also, Jeanne would better suit a French château than the Roman Diana. Alternatively, an obelisk or a piece of topiary. The functional sundial idea may not be practical in the shade of the planned trees. You all are getting a workout from moving that ton of gravel. It's time for a Gin & Tonic or a cold brew (for Ashley). 🍻

It's looking amazing! For the center feature, maybe a metal obelisk like structure that could have something fragrant climbing on it? Clematis maybe? Or something to represent your favorite football club in England? Or a statue of Patrick? For as much as we honor the history of the chateau, don't forget you are also part of the history of the chateau! Use that space to honor your contributions, your passions, your family, your mark on the chateau. Hope this helps! Whatever you decide will be terrific!

Hi to all the family. Ash, you said that you were looking to put bark chippings in the beds, would you consider putting them down before you start planting, that way you could get rid of all the tyres/plastic and then get a rough idea of what it would look like. All you would have to do then is shove the bark to one side as you are planting and put the bark back around the plants. Sue Laban

Soil/compost UNDER mulch - finish with bark mulch ON TOP to suppress weeds. The bark will break down to enrich the soil beneath it. If it is UNDER the soil/compost, it will rob Nitrogen as it breaks down. Never dig mulch layer into the soil layer beneath.
