The Chronicles of Chateau de Rosieres

21 күн бұрын

Remember the man who told us the chateau had cellars in the 1940s? This week we excavate a site in front of the chateau to look for them!
We are Marc, Amy, Clement and Juliette, a French-English family restoring a 33 room medieval chateau and huge estate in southern France. Follow our award-winning, historically-sensitive restorations and our journey towards self-sufficiency and sustainability, with plenty of laughter along the way.

@@Chroniclesofrosieresmany parents want to get through something, without the “help” of their children. What they, unlike you don’t understand is these are the wonderful experiences that as adults, they will remember. Not to mention, it is an amazing way to build their confidence, after all they got to help with amazing projects, just like their parents. You are both amazing parents, it shows the love and devotion you have for one another and for your beautiful children ❤️ It is one of the best things I’ve seen as far as a couple and parents of small children ❤️

I wonder if any of Amy's archaeological friends/colleagues have or have access to a ground penetrating x-ray machine and might want to Donate their time & the equipment❤??? No photos from when the previous owners were there? Maybe place an advert for anyone with historic pictures or even memories of the past life of the Chateau? I'd be willing to bet that if you end up having to rent the equipment, the bedrock will cause problems😢!!! It's Always Something! If it ain't one thing, it's five or six others😥!!!

@girlnorthof60 9 күн бұрын

When my ex husband was a small boy, his farmer neighbour took him on his tractor. As he got older, an equipment operator friend let him practice on his backhoe. It made such a huge impression on him, he went on to become a heavy equipment operator at one of the largest open pit Lead/Zinc mines in N. America (in the Yukon where I live) and then an equipment/haulage truck trainer on other mine sites. Those tiny seeds planted in his mind sparked big dreams that came true for him, and a very successful career to this day. He never complains about going to work, he LOVES it. Something I think about as I watch your son help his Dad. 💞

hi guys. how are you. maybe you had four towers. see if the window that is walled up on the right side (3f) on your facade is somehow similar to some opening in the tower. and on the upper left (3f) a window in the same way, possibly something similar. it seems that they were made later. happy hunting.

Hi Amy. If your dizziness has come about unexpectedly or without another physical issue, there is an awesome exercise online that you can do which helped my husband. I wish I could link it to you but look for neck related dizziness. It should show a person lying on their back, Their head on a pillow and how to properly turn your neck to the right and left. Good luck! Hope this helps. Love watching you, Marc and the children.

I would take those eggs far into the forest a few miles from your property. It probably was just a turret there like the other one you have. Would you make a family pool enclosed for the family you have the space :) I am guessing you are reinstating the turret then :) as I think that is what you are finding the stones for it. If it were me I would focus on fixing up the chateau so you can move back in ;) once you have done that then think about hidden cellars :)
