- Ever since we moved in, Marc has been dying to get rid of the ornamental trees in front of the chateau. Today he gets his wish, albeit in a snowstorm!

What a wonderful neighbor! It was so kind of him to help Marc, and they both worked so diligently. I can’t believe Marc wears his sandles to do landscaping in the winter!
No real shoes, no hat can mean only one thing: Marc has worked with penguin's too much. LOL! Love the new channel. 🤣🥰😘
😂
Marc is a fearless, visionary landscaper! Bravo!
You and John did an amazing job of moving those yews. I had to laugh at John’s double hats and your sandals on bare feet! The garden view is lovely.
Yes! Barefoot!
@@heatherjamieson4778 I couldn't believe my eyes! Kept watching just to convince myself that's really what I was seeing!
I'm sure they're safety sandals. 😅
It wouldn't be Marc if he wasn't wearing sandals even when it's blooming snowing 😂
Love the menagerie watching Mark! And I cracked up over his bare feet in his sandals. I look forward to next week's issue. :)
What is amazing is how the original landscape was cleared by hand and then terraced by hand - all without modern machinery
Isn’t it?! They did such amazing work with so little!
I knew I believed in you both. I knew that Marc was very bright and a scholar. I enjoyed what seemed like your fey lifestyle, combined with a goodly amount of determination. What I did NOT know was where this was all going or how grand and informed your plan was. What a delightful surprise. Now we have, as before, your delicious sense of humor, darling children, fascinating sense of design, strength of conviction, married to the grand plan - and a way to pay for the whole thing. Tigers could not drive me away. Thank you!
No gloves and sandals ! You are the wim hof of landscaping 🤣
How wonderful to have a neighbor like John who has knowledge in landscape and a willing helper. Marc had a lot of “supervisors “ while he changed the teeth on the bucket 🤣🤣🤣The garden and landscape will be stunning once completed. You are fortunate to have such lovely views 😍😘
Cute how how the birds were following Marc like you have a container in your hands... you have snacks for us?
Amazing to see how inquisitive the animals are - delightful. I love how the view has been opened up now the trees have been taken away.
What brilliant Guardians you are for Chateau de Rosieres. Great plans - we can all do our bit to protect this precious land. You are the best teachers - relaxed & informative. Also Marc gets some play time too. Soon be shorts weather !!! 🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘🤗😘
He’s been in them since March Kathryn 😂!
The view at the end of the video with Marc on the digger was beautiful! Digger must be so happy to have new teeth🇨🇦❤️❤️
What a great neighbor to offer his assistance. The difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys. That digger looks fun. ❤❤
I love how all the birds want to be involved. The views are stunning, looking forward to the next episode. Well done Mark, it's going to be beautiful.
They want to be involved into fresh worms !
The birds are looking for bugs! It's dinner!
In East Texas we would take the trees and put them in a very large lake for fish habitat
This is going to be so interesting being here from the start!
Loving the safety shoes Marc! 😂
:D 🎶"...fifty ways to move your yew trees."
Great job, guys! Marc, you truly are a hot Frenchman, wearing sandals in winter. ❤
What fun to see Marc and John at their digger best. 🙂
And I had never thought that digger teeth were replaceable, but it totally makes sense!
the view has opened up splendidly it's good you have john to help you marc
so many precious yews - hope they'll feel well at their new places🤞🤞🤞 the new view is gorgeous!!!
This is so exciting! You could make additional income conducting seminars with other chateau owners. I envy your dream for the sustainability of your estate.
So exciting to see the principles of agronomy used to manage your estate. Being from the heartland in the US, I can attest to the need for diversifying to a more sustainable land management approach. I can’t wait to hear about more of your management plans!
What a surprise you answered many questions I had regarding your chateau but would never had the temerity to ask
I will really enjoy following Marc on this amazing journey.
I remember seeing the Alpes from the Ardèche for the first time, driving from Aubenas back to the Rhône valley to go to Switzerland and then home to Alsace, having had to pick up a rental car in Aubenas after being involved in an accident on the A6 … silver lining and all that, the summer evening view across was so spectacular that we stopped to watch and admire… move forward 20 years, and with my English students taking then on walks and to Aubenas, all of us in awe of it all… so I know exactly what Marc is looking forward to achieve ! Bravo!
Every time I drive to the village I’m floored by the view of the Alpes
Dig a little and magically the chickens appear ❤
Really Marc - sandals? 😂
Never mind the book “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse”, at 4:28 I felt like I was watching a live illustration of the children’s book “The Guys, the Peacock, the Chicken and the Dog”. Beautiful filming and editing! Such a fun watch! ❤️🇨🇦
I think your chickens are loving your digging so they can get fresh worms. Looks like you have done quit a bit of work since last year. Great job you 2.
Love this! Thank you, for taking us on this journey!
Clearing & transformation begins! I learned something too...didnt know trees are better transplanted in winter....thank you Marc ❤️
Love that root-ball shaking action!
Hmm just goes to show you have to consider all the angles when planting. Wonderful and handy to have such a neighbour 😉
For a bit Marc looked like the Pide Piper of Hamlin, with all of the chickens, peacock, dogs & others following his lead 🎶tune 🎶 !!!
We love your new channel (and your other one too)! Your chateau project is so different from all the others. This will give you the opportunity to report on what's unique about the restoration of your Medieval fortress and "village" in terms of both the buildings and the gardens. Fascinating that Marc is following the lead of an ancient French agronomist. So interesting. Thank you! -- Deb & Scott
It looks so much better without the Yew trees there , such a stunning view. Looking forward to seeing it all develop. Your children are going to have so much fun when they're older, perhaps a tree house built when you've got time! 😂
Congratulations on your new RUclips channel Amazing work done by Mark and John Can't wait to see what you guys get up too 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The gardens are going to be beautiful looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I can’t wait to see where the trees are planted!
This is going to be amazing, not something that will be done anytime soon. I am excited to watch your progress and maybe even capture some ideas for my small corner of my Canadian garden.
Awesome - especially in those sandals -Mark!
I love seeing the transformation!
Super job removing the trees and the view is specular!
Fun seeing more of the gardens. Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing the evolution of the gardens
Marc, I think you were having too much fun with John digging up those trees! What a difference it's made to the whole front aspect of the Chateau! I did have to smile when all the animals had to help too! Looking forward to seeing the next video, I do like watching boys with their toys! Big hugs xx
Thanks Karen! X
Absolutely loved it...
Can't wait for the next video...
As my French sister-in-law always says...
Nothing is impossible...!
Great job and Mark got to play with his favourite toy😂
Love what you're doing....but Marc...sandals? No sox? IT'S SNOWING, AND YOU'RE DRIVING HEAVY MACHINERY FOR GOD'S SAKE.😂 😂😂😂
But he says they’re his safety sandals!
Fabulous work guys!! Loving the new channel 👌🏻 ❤ 👋 🇦🇺
I love how you and Amy both had "cunning plans" on the two channels. I enjoyed both of them today. Love from California.
What? Mark is wearing sandals outside in the middle of winter! Thank you for starting a channel that spotlights the works pertaining to the exterior of the chateau. Now i can go back and watch an episode of Amy work on the tiles for the bathroom because all of the work you present is quite informative. Best to you from sunny California.
Quoi? Marc porte des sandales dehors en plein hiver ! Merci d'avoir lancé une chaîne qui met en lumière les travaux relatifs à l'extérieur du château. Maintenant, je peux revenir en arrière et regarder un épisode d'Amy travaillant sur les carreaux de la salle de bain, car tout le travail que vous présentez est assez instructif. Meilleur pour vous de la Californie ensoleillée.
This is everything! Love this work. Can’t wait to see it all come together
I look forward to seeing the formal garden. What a view! Spectacular x
I really enjoyed watching your new channel and the work that Marc and John did moving the trees. Please Marc put some boots on, I can’t believe you were still wearing sandals in the snow and no hat!!!!
Came for the gardening and was not disappointed.
Cant wait to see you replant those amazing yew trees! Ours are perfect blackbird nesting places as they are so dense.
The yew trees were planted to create a forced perspective (to be seen from the château). That’s basically a good idea at the back end of a garden, but not at the terraces right in front of the château. I’m not a big fan of yew trees in general; also they’re quite toxic. So good job removing them!
What a breathtaking setting for a chateau !
Loved this video !! Thanks Amy and Marc !! ❤
That view deserved to be uncovered and devoid of trees, it is such a majestic outlook! Great start and I look forward to the next video to see just where Marc replanted those trees. What a perfect neighbour to have when you can help each other out too. 🌲👏🥰
Superb job guys…what a nice man John is and such a great help. X Dottie
Your feet must be frozen Mark!! Fantastic video. Keep them coming 😊
I laugh every time i watch this. The trees dwarf the small tractor that is carrying them away. And when they get caught in the arch and Marc has to stand on the tractor to pull it through. You are amazing at using the equipment you have to make great progress.
Marcs note to Santa this year should be socks and sensible shoes…. I feel cold catching glimpses of his feet.
The view is epic!
Lovely bit of tree wrangling. Are you re-planting them elsewhere?
Oh, I spoke too soon.
👏 This is great! I look forward to seeing how the gardens develop.
best wishes to you
So LOVE seeing you two create your dreams and then make them come true! Brilliant, just brilliant! Opening up the front garden makes the view even more amazing! Plus, who knew a digger had teach!!!!! #citygirl Cheers!
Wow, it looks so much better. The view is so beautiful. Never obscure it. The hills in the distance look part of the garden. ❤
Looking good! You sure know how to handle the machinery Mark! Nice you have help with the trees.
Wonderful plans. I’m so excited. ❤
You are creating magic, lovely people.
I wish you so much luck and good fortune.😊
Brilliant-great to see such passion and hard work (in the snow!) looking forward to the next video.
I'm so glad you're re-using the trees. I agree they are not right in their original location, but it would have broken my heart to think they would have been discarded. My husband is a landscape architecture and he completely agrees with you.
Wonderful! I so enjoyed this, I think a great idea on your part, Marc and Amy, to have this seperate channel! Love seeing this part of the big picture!❤
Terrific job! Can't wait to see the new trees.
I love your thoughts on sustainability ❤ there is no planet B
Yes. Needs a parterre now 🌱
I love the poultry audience!
So happy about your new channel, to follow the transformation of the garden will be fascinating. I of course will be watching the prof the work in the coach house and eventually the chateau. Michele.
I think it is a great idea to make a separate channel for the garden I think there is so much important information and content although I will be watching both channels👏👏💕🇨🇦
It looks much better already ❤❤😊
Very interesting video. I look forward to watching you transform all the beautiful gardens. The chickens sure are happy with the upturned dirt!
Bravo
Very interesting, I’m looking forward to the next with great anticipation. 😊
I’m subscribed to the new channel. 😊
I loved watching this vlog not just for the content, but the filming was execellent. Everything was so clear and true to colour. Those yews are magnificent and the pergola idea will be wonderful.
I absolutely loved this video. As an admirer of your beautiful grounds and estate, it was wonderful to watch you and John expertly manoeuvring the trees with your machinery, of course being helped by your beautiful assorted menagerie. I think Mark should patent his winter footwear! 😂❤️
😂
Love your future garden plans. Shaping up and looks awesome… watching from PA, USA.
Congratulations on the new channel and love this idea to showcase the incredible work of transforming the gardens. 🍃🌸🌴💚
Marc, you are wearing sandals.... don't you know it's snowing! Lovely opening video for your sub-channel. Looking forward to seeing some amazing garden transformations in the future.
Joy and more and a deep sense of admiration what this young family brings to this precious monestry? and its area. Love your drive" , love , your dynamics.
Um.. Marc, are you wearing sandals? And it's snowing. ❄️❄️❄️
He most certainly is. Almost never takes them off!
The Views are stunning great idea u could just grown low growing plants make a garden of design in the middle or something .
Great job and it will look beautiful.
I love this new channel
What a great idea👍👍 I have always wondered about the gardens in the various Chateaus I follow so I look forward to following you on both channels.
