Back in 2015, we stumbled across Chateau de la Motte Husson, a derelict 19th-century fairy tale chateau in the Pays de la Loire with 45-rooms, a moat, orangery, 12 acres, seven outbuildings and huge potential for our new life in France.

Moving to a new home in a foreign country in the middle of winter, with no electricity, sewerage or heating, and our two very young children in tow, could be considered foolish. But we fell in love with the Chateau instantly.

After decades of neglect, the Chateau needed hard work and dedication to bring it back to life. It was a renovation on the grandest of scales, but we were up for the challenge and set to work on our dream.

Our adventures were recorded in Channel 4’s primetime series ‘Escape to the Chateau™’. We are so proud to have this documentary of our lives to show the children one day...We can't wait to keep sharing our story with you with new projects in the future!
