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, we lay the tile in our bathroom just in time for Benoit and Vincent to return and help us install our first set of windows on the Hunter's Lodge! We get a new partnership for our wedding venue and they let us take a rental car for a test drive. Vincent brings his professional metal detector so we can try it our around the chateau and in the deepest point of our medieval dungeon!
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!

Metal detection is actually quite heavilly regulated in France. Since you live on a chateau it would be considered a place of historical importance and you do need to ask authorisations and to be supervised by an archeologist. Anything you find of high historical importance can be claimed by the state (legally you have to tell about anything you do find). If you did none of that, this video is a legal proof of illegal activity, kind of driving at 200km/h on the road and putting it on youtube, maybe fun but illegal...

Don't feel too bad Ian. A couple of months ago, I was detailing the interior & exterior of my Mini SUV, and almost every single freaking time that I leaned back into the back seats to clean, I whacked my head off the dang door frame! You can tell that I don't have to get in and out of the back usually lol. You'd have thought the added knots on my head would have given me some extra protection. But, alas, I think it just kept making my head slightly higher to ensure I'd keep banging it!!!!! uugghh. Felt like Charlie Brown, and the car was Lucy & the football! Hahahahaha!!!
