Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, we dig up our crumbling chateau cobblestone to repair problematic tree growth! Benoit joins us to help finish a few projects and Ian's brother, Nick, visits us from California and we take him to see the magical Royaumont Abbey!
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!

how funny, I have lived 5 minutes away from Royaumont Abbey since I was born, I also worked as a waitress a few times for marriages and ceremonies. I recognized the location right away, it really is a beaufitul place. It's such a pleasure for me to watch your videos renovating your own chateau and being curious about other châteaux open to the public in France. Keep on vloging ! I love to watch.

Did you know that cobbles, or cobblestones, change after the 17th century? The become rectangular then, so it makes it easier to date them. Looks like yours are from then. I only learned this after unearthing my own, and being a curious soul discovered the different ages of cobblestones. Who knew? 🙂

What a beautiful Abbey. Training your fruit trees/ and tree like that is called espalier (which I'm pretty sure is French) Easy to pick the fruit and putting it against a wall will give the tree heat, better to grow/ fruit etc.
