Thanks to our growing Patreon community, we are able to aid the cost in our window repairs!
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, we begin tiling our bathroom renovation project. Benoit and Vincent come back for the first time since his injury, so they can help us install shelving and repurpose our chateau marble slab for the shower! Daphne and I also found a big medieval festival nearby that we had to check out...
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!

Buuuuuu.....Bluuuuuuh. 😂 It was wonderful to see another video! Don't hesitate to share wedding prep stuff. I am sure we all would live to see the Old Lady decked out for the events and to see different ideas! Maybe some of the local area as you are out and about getting things you need as well. I know wedding season has to be nuts so keep it simple and you can do shorter for now if you want. So good to see Buuuuuunoit back to work!

My husband and I did a tile floor in our bathroom ONCE. We broke more tiles than we used. It got to the point where every time a tile was cut there was a string of profanity because another one broke. A wet saw is the solution.

Benoit and, his jokes andhuge pensill are a show in itself. Haha. That dog trying to get in the lunch bag was like, "No, I want it." Haha. The mediviel festivals are awesome.They attract people well, which is great for the town. Sometimes, a too good of a time is had by many! LOL! YOU BOTH ARE SO CUTE EVEN ARGUING. You should hear me and my husband sometimes. A lot of our words at that point have only 4 letter words for each other and followed by a whispered prayer to God for my sin. LOL.

Hello D&I! Loving watching you tile your bathroom, it's one of my favourite renovating jobs and completely transforms the space! Ah the heartbreak at broken tiles...! I am sure that you get all the pro tiling tips from Daphne's dad, but I was wondering which way you were pulling the hand tile cutter to score the tiles? In some of the shots it looks like you're pulling it towards yourself - if you push it away from you instead, I find that you can apply significantly more pressure and get a good score line which helps the tiles break straight when you go to snap them. Apologies if I'm being redundant and you know all this already, but if you don't, thought it might help! ❤
