About us,
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

Hi everyone! Good to see Tracy in fine form today with the pointing! Until you see the repairs, you really don’t realize how degraded the stairs and the original pointing was.Terry was manhandling those large heavy stones like they were nothing! Such a beautiful result! Bravo- you guys hit another one out of the park! ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much Rita 😊😊
💕For all the hard work he’s put in I think rob deserves to be a non paying guest to stay in each of your suites to test drive each room as it’s finished💕
Hello , I'm from a small community in South Carolina ,USA . I love watching these videos as you bring this Grand ole Lady back to life . How beautiful she is . All of you are exceptional, your skills, your devotion , it`s all shining through . and then there's Rob , oh my , what a friend . Bless you all and thank you for bringing all of us along .
Thank you so much Linda. 🥰🥰
So pleased to see Rob is still there. Please ensure you film his imminent departure and farewell. He has become such an integral part of your family and the stunning restoration of your LaLacelle Chateau! ❤❤❤
Hello there you are strong, united and strong in completing your beautiful job on this amazing family home, may you stay healthy for the rest of the year and beyond so you all can complete the rest of the work, on these beautiful Family Home. Bye for now, Rosemary🌹 Long Beach, California
Tracey, as always, absolutely astounding! Taking the bars off the cellar windows made such a difference. From one mom to another, bravo!!
"Just another job done." You, as a collective group, are amazing and full of vim and vigor. You tackle every job with aplomb. Yeah, team Lalacelle !!! 🎉
Wow! I was especially appreciative of the before/after footage. The reminder was great, not to mention I really appreciated the sweeping drone shot of the new drive up to the chateau. Tracy and Terry, you really give new meaning to the phrase 'labor of love'. What's even better is the results are fantastic! Quick waves to Jonathan, Rob and Patrick; it was great seeing you. And Ash, I love your adverts. It's easy to see you actually believe in the product, that you use it and understand it. What a great update!
It makes my heart so happy to see the staircases all straightened up and clean! That must feel so satisfying!
You guys should be so proud of your accomplishments because the old lady looks beautiful! The before and after shots bring to life just how bad a state she was in, in the beginning. Well done you!❤
Rather than “Old Lady” I like to think of her as a “ Grande Damme” 💕😊💕
Hello from North Central Florida after the Hurricane really started at 7:00 am and carried on further North. All we’re getting now is heavy rain and bad wind (a bit like walking along the sea front at Roker during a January squall ) Your video has made my day, watching Tracy doing a brilliant job pointing and how Terry lifts those stones I’ll never know. The stairs look magnificent. Well done both of you 💕👏💕👏💕 hope you enjoyed a good shower and a drink afterwards. xxxAlex 💕🐥💕🐥💕
@alexandra2jerry, stay safe! Prayers for you, family, and friends.
Great job folks, it looks wonderful. All your labor was not in vain. Love all your videos, so nice that this is a family affair. When you get finished your chateau will be restored and beautiful again.
Tracy you are really one great role model for women and maybe some males ! Go girl go !
Tracey is the backbone on the dream. She has a servants heart and just gets to it.
A servants heart? Did you mean sergeant? She has a mother’s heart.
@@katehobbs2008 absolutely 👍
I had forgotten just how worn the front looked until you showed it again in this video. Compared to the after, it’s an amazing transformation! Y’all are literally bringing the old girl back to her glory. So proud to see how all your hard work is a blessing to the chateau!
Your work ethic is your greatest posession and Tracy is your absolute treasure. 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
Wow, the before video is a reminder of how far & fast your restoration has transformed this lovely chateau. Back and knee bending, attention to detail is tremendous and inspirational. Love to all.
You must pinch yourselves at how beautiful the chateau looks with the huge clean up and fixings. Dan and Tracey are the experts on pointing 😊 Rob and Terry too 🌟
Great to see the château’s miles and miles of masonry getting so much TLC!
You all did a fantastic job on the front of the Chateau and stairs. It makes such a huge difference. Great job!!!
Hi everyone, Oh my goodness Tracy & Terry, the two of you have both worked so incredibly hard to bring the chateau back to life🤩 the pointing on the stone wall looks beautiful Tracy & Terry the entrance up to the chateau now looks so inviting ! well done team Mother & Son your amazing 👏 Take care lots of love 🥰💕
Wow, it looks so solid and new. Your list is being ticked off faster than I think anyone anticipated. Your chateau was derelict when you bought it. It had all of the beautiful features but time was not kind to her. You had a vision and through all of your intense hard work it’s magnificent beauty is shining through. Be well! xx
Hey guys, when you show the before pictures, looking back it's almost like, oh my God, can we ever fix this up. Look at it now, you never cease to amaze, I sometimes get exhausted watching you. They look so beautiful, your hard work and dedication to your Chateau de Lalacelle is second to none. Well done everyone. Much love from N.Y.
I can’t imagine the work that went into this! Absolutely beautiful job!! Amazing!
Great job on the stair case you guys. Tracie will be professional after all the pointing she has done since being at the Chateau. Lots of hugs to all of you. Kathy USA 🇺🇸
I am so amazed at how good this looks. I remember you Mom getting anxious about the outside of the chateau. I hope you are going to cook her a great dinner and several glasses of wine....
What a lovely way to show us all the changes from start to now! She looked so sad in the beginning, and now she is like a bright new penny!!! Ah I am sure you all will do so well even with the scaffolding! Lovely to see Patrick and wee Jonathan!! Always a joy to watch!! Staircases just look so very grand!! ❤️
Thanks Jen 😊
You should all be so proud of your accomplishments the chateau looks amazing every job you undertake is done with grit, determination and love ❤ love to you all x
Thanks Norma 😊
What a job guys! Even though we saw the other side being done, it was still an incredible transformation. You are all incredible but hats off to Tracy today. You work unbelievably hard all the time. You are lucky to have those lads but they should be astounded by you!
We are! She can run rings around me! She is one amazing lady!! 😊
Your little boy has become a young lad! Handsome fella he is! Great job on everything!
You guys don't need a cherry picker. You are the masters at doing whatever needs doing and finding a way to improvise and get the job done. Looking forward to it. Well done on the stairs...they look brilliant.
WOW!! The stairs look absolutely fabulous! You all are amazingly hard working folks with vision and determination. Can't wait until you get to the cellar and make the big room with the massive fireplace into a warm and cozy kitchen!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you ☺️ 😊
Can’t wait! I love historic kitchen renovations.😊❤
The amount of foresight you guys had when you bought lalacelle is mind blowing, looking at the facade both before and after is incredible well done 😊
This is so inspiring to see. Your determination to do this restoration properly is admirable.
Thanks Joan 😊
I was amazed how white and beautiful the first stairs were after cleaning. The front will glow with both stairs cleaned.
Fabulous job everyone. It has been something that I have been hoping for since the start of your journey. The sense of delight I have must be a thousand times more for yourselves 😂🎉 I thought Ash's explanation of the Ecoflo was so clear and professionally delivered, I nearly was persuaded even though I have no need of it 😂😅😊
Fantastic job! Love transforms and this was a labour of love! Well done everyone! Always nice to see Jonathan’s smiling face. ❤❤
An amazing transformation! You are all such hard workers. Jonathan is growing up before our eyes!
We sure won't be saying little Jonathan for long now, he's getting so tall and cute...blown away, what a huge difference this has made to the front entry...awesome job kids...!!!!
Applauding your hard work is a given. But I would like to compliment you on your video presentation. Showing that recap at the end really gives the viewer a true appreciation of the difference. Well done! 👏
You are all absolutely amazing. Your channel is my first go to each morning to see what has been happening while I have been sleeping. I live in Australia. Keep up the great work everyone you’re such an inspiration. Well done. You’ve done so much in such a short time. I’m astounded. Thank you for keeping us updated on the progress you’ve made.
I hope you feel as proud of your work as many of us do of you!
Your just amazing Terry Tracy and rob wonderful seeing you working together. Love from Canada 🇨🇦
My goodness, did you ever imagine it would look so amazing?
Another really fine piece of restoration. It looked like the actual structure of the right hand staircase was in better general condition, just much dirtier and more affected by lichen. It looks splendid now 🥰
She is looking so beautiful! Shinning like she was back all those years ago ! Bravo to you all ! ❤
Wonderful work done! The Chateau is becoming new again! Unbelievable how far you have come. ❤
Amazing job! It looks fantastic! So sweet to see Jonathan! ❤️🇨🇦
I think it about time you bought mum a new wheelbarrow she walks to slow with the old one. HA HA love her
It looks amazing Tracey you are such a hard worker you keep on going and going ❤
Going to miss Robby when he goes hope he comes back to you again so he can how his work looks when Terry as dress his work take are everyone xxxx
Tracy, the Queen of Pointo!
Love the transformation. You all work so hard and your workmanship is wonderful. Love your channel ❤
Love the relationship between Terry and his mum!
Staircase and wall looks fabulous well done. 3 barrows. Never can have enough. Xx
That staircase looks a million times better! What a fantastic job you all are doing... those stones are so heavy! Have to say you guys are doing just brilliant on it all... seriously looks so wonderful! I'm sure the ole place is so happy to have such a caring family looking after it after all these years feeling abandoned... it seems to be coming back to life. Perhaps it will bless you with some awesome finds one day. Never know. Old houses are so amazing. If only it could tell you all the tales of the things it has seen and heard over the years. Some of it comes out as you work on it... you can see years of footsteps, years of work having been done here and there... but I'm sure if the house could talk it could tell you so much. So nice to see it cared for.
I bet when you drive up to the chateau now you feel excited and so proud seeing all that you have done to bring it back to life. You have all done such an amazing, wonderful job! The railing design just speaks to me - depending on my mood. 😉
Wow the old girl is looking so incredibly elegant once again. Slowly but surely every little bit makes a huge difference in her appearance and it is looking stunning! Well done...
That’s so cool to watch you guys restoring the steps. Great pointing job. Love it
Oh My GOD!!!! What a transformation!!! It looks just Amazing!! I wish I could be there to help. Hopefully one day I can come visit and meet you all. Terry your mum is a Wonder Woman❤
Whaw, that looks amazing, guy’s! And isn’t our Tracey a trooper! Rob was a great help too, as ever!
It really turned out beautifully. Congratulations to you all.
The steps and front what a transformation it looks absolutely stunning such hard work. Worth all the effort of your hard work
It is amazing what simple cleaning & simple repairs will do for a structure. Not to minimize the 😂effort this has been, or the effort that lie ahead of you, but it has got to be so satisfying for you both!
With every project done it just gets more and more exciting, love you guys!
Perfection. No other word describes the quality of your work
Everything done to this building is just a night & day contrast! Just wonderful!
It is truly remarkable to watch as you breath life back into this beautiful abode. Lovely indeed.
Rob and Tracy do beautiful work pointing⭐️❤️🥇🇺🇸
It's amazing what you've accomplished! All of you have such talents being put to good use. Cheers!
Your music choice is beautiful and goes perfectly with your gorgeous property.
Looking beautiful, great job everyone!
I didn’t think it looked too bad until you see how it looks now, a great job well done.
Well Done Tracy Terry Ash Made A Lovely Job !!!!!!
You continue to amaze me. There appears to be nothing you won’t attempt to do. Even more amazing is that each attempt works out beautifully.
Absolutely Stunning!!! Well done!
Yes, I have to agree with so many other viewers. Tracy is wonderful and she is truly truly the backbone and works as hard as the guys do. But I must say let's all pull together here. They're pushing around wheelbarrows that the wheels. They're not round. I've never seen Wheels on a wheelbarrow look that bad. I couldn't help from hollering when I saw not one but two wheelbarrows a clump clump clump absolutely a hoot. You guys are going to get some new wheelbarrows. But that aside, the staircase is looking as grand as the other side and as I like to refer to her as the Phoenix rising from the ashes, her grandeur shall stand as tallest. She did the day she was built. God bless you all❤
An other great result after cleaning and repairing again👍🏿
Wow! The pointing on the staircase circular wall looks great. It's so much more uniform and the color is perfect.
good afternoon from Canada
Tracy and Terry you both do such good work with the stones. They all really do look new. Great job.
WOW Another amazing video 🥰🥰 She becomes more beautiful everyday, so glad your the family who found her xx
The stairs look amazing and the around the base looks so neat. Fantastic job you 2
Thanks Chris 😊
Bravo! Both staircases look fantastic now! In the future, do you plan to add some more large granite paving stones on the ground between the two staircases (in front of the cellar door), where there is what appears to be chewed up brick remnants? I think that would add a nice finishing touch, as would a large planter/urn filled with a topiary or rose bush on each side of each staircase. Looking forward to seeing what you all decide!
Absolutely beautiful job done! You all are so amazing! 🎉🎉❤
Wow! She looks beautiful.
Wow!! 😃❤ Such an exciting change!!
Watching from Charleston, South Carolina as we wait for Tropical Storm Idalia to pass.
Well done everyone it all looks absolutely fantastic! You should all be so proud xx
Lovely finish to the pointing Tracy and Terry, you do everything so well. The stairs look so grand and beautiful now. Great promo for the eco flow Ashe, it’s a fantastic product👍🏻💕
Wow what a transformation!
Great,a new staircase for thr chateau! Goooood job Terry and Tracy.
The place is looking more and more beautiful ❤
Time for some new Wheelbarrow wheels 😁
You have perfected so many skills!
Good morning from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤❤❤❤❤
fantastycznie pięknie cieszę się razem z Wami uściski dla Jonathana serdecznie pozdrawiam
It turned out absolutely spectacular. Even with taking off the bars on the windows, it really makes a difference.
Rob is back ! Nice to see him back at LaLa again.
You all are some of the hardest working people! Everything is beginning to come together and looking lovely! Blessings.
Thanks Kathy 😊
The home repair skills you have all learned is amazing! The determination and drive of "sure, we can do that" should inspire everyone who watches your video blog. Cheers and thanks again for a great show!
Thank you 🙏 😊😊
