Welcome to Our French Chateau!
We are Amanda and Lincoln. With our two daughters and pets in tow, we moved across the world from our home in San Francisco California to buy and restore a petite chateau on 40 acres in the beautiful French countryside of Brittany.
Our channel documents our triumphs and failures in restoring the 19th-century Chateau de Lingourdy. We plan to return the gardens, cottages and barns to their former glory. So if you're interested in observing daily life through the eyes of an American family whose French language skills are quite lacking and who have amassed a menagerie that includes cats, dogs, and donkeys. Please join us...
I’ll bet you often wonder how many servants were on staff back in the day at your chateau….there are only two of you ! Le petit salon is really coming along !
Bless you for saving the precious dog! Did owners retrieve him? It's looking good guys! So much work, but you are doing a fantastic job! The donkeys look good. 😂❤
You are making so much progress for two people, plus the responsibility of two kids!
I wonder if the children ever want to help. As a child, I would’ve totally wanted to pitch in, especially in my room.
So happy you rescued the dog ❤
Thank you for continuing to make these videos; I really love what you’re doing and who you are as caring, lovely people.
Thank you so much!
You guys are amazing! Between the house, grounds, donkeys, cats and dogs you have, you save a lost baby. Please let us know if his owner was found!! I hope you make time go enjoy that pool too. You both remind me of Carole and Adrian at Chateau de la Ferté - many talents and a great sense of humor! Take care and Happy 4th of July!
And, yes, Amanda & Lincoln - the American couple, do remind me of Carole & Adrian - the British couple. Both have a great sense of humor and they really work together!
You are an animal magnet! Lucky dog!😂❤
You are both animal whispers and you work well together. Pure magic, blessings to you both 🎉
The hydrangeas at the end look just gorgeous! You are doing an amazing job, indoors and outdoors- I enjoy how you share the different projects and of course the animals are great- they love you! Thank you ❤
Bless you for saving that little dog. ❤ Love your videos! ❤
You guys are doing a great job. I’m glad you’re splitting up the salon into manageable bites. Do what you have to do it’s not a drudgery. The pup was so cute. Hope his owners claimed him. The donks are looking good! I’m glad you started this channel. Keep up the good work!
So sweet watching the donkey run up to you. And rescuing that dog. I too wear sunscreen inside., just in case. I wanted to say that I love your music always. Looks great, work in progress.
Those radiators look awesome - such good work on everything!
Part of what breeds exhaustion is not finishing anything. If you can find a project and complete it, however small, and be able to check it off your list that is so rewarding but having 50 projects all in various stages of completion weighs on a person's soul. Love your vlog.
One job section at a time. Looking at the entire room is overwhelming look at one section at a time. You are such a hard worker.
Wow! So many big jobs to do. No wonder you are tired. So good of you to save the dog-he is precious! The petit salon is looking good. Have a good week.
Hi Amanda. I believe the plaster work on your ceiling is just called mouldings and the wood you found in your basement is a helmet. Hope this helps.
LOVE LOVE LOVE your DIY, animals especially the dogs and donkeys and cats ; ) and I really enjoy your vlogs X
The pieces from the basement are Pelmets, I;m sure that's what you meant to type @zoecooper.
Was going to say your helmet is a pelmet😂
What a lovely dog that was! Can't help but hope nobody claims him and he lives the remainder of his life, with you, in paradise!!!!
This is a Chateau I would actually like to live in. I’m so glad you were on Chateau Unwrapped so that I discovered your channel. When the blue hydrangeas were shown in your video, I just couldn’t believe how gorgeous they were. I absolutely love those. And the ceilings in the room you’re painting!!! Wow!
Another lovely vlog. Adding to the terminology: A frieze goes around a wall. The stuff on the ceiling would be moldings. The thing across the top of the curtain rods is called a cornice box or also a pelmet. In my experience a cornice box often has a small fabric piece called a valance attached to it, and a pelmet is often upholstered. Both help stop convection currents along the height of your windows, keeping the cold air trapped between the curtain and glass and stopping it from moving. Hang in there -- maybe the salon can wait while you spend the summer outdoors?
Great upholstery/architecture explanations. Always good to learn from this RUclips watching
God Bless you! That is the dearest little dog. So submissive. Poor little thing! Please bring him home to your safe loving environment. He has PTSD. Can you imagine what that little boy has been through. People dump dogs as you know. Please bring him home 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are the best people.
The cottage is charming. It will be lovely when you re-do it. Everything you do turns out beautifully 💗
PS. You really need a gas super duper trimmer. I use one like yours in my tiny yard! 😅
I’m just tired watching you. I’m so impressed with you just keepin on keepin on🇨🇦🤗
Thanks for the video I was missing you guys. You sure have a lot of work to do but then I don't need to tell you that!! It is looking good and the donkeys look younger😃🌻
The donkeys look so much healthier in your care. I hope the owners were found for that sweet dog. You are a good soul to rescue him.
Your projects are coming along well. I love that little cottage.❤
BEST TO YOU
~Bless your heart Amanda! ~Your love & care for animals is just precious! ❤🐶👍
Oh, how many Saturday nights I've spent stripping paint! You have my sympathy. It looks amazing. You're doing a great job.
Daily life …. Your hydrangeas are magnificent!
Place an electrical outlet in the hole that you created above the fireplace mantel and you have a plug-in for a picture light. ❤️🙏
The hydrangeas at the end were absolutely gorgeous. It’s just too hot and dry here in west Texas to grow them.
What a wonderful adventure you are both having. But, remember, what you have to restore and maintain was originally undertaken by many people on this estate, not two. You will always be its servants so pace yourselves and enjoy.
Your roses and the hydrangeas are so beautiful. What about the little dog? You’ve left us hanging
Just to see all the tons of "to do list" you and hubby, I'm exhausted! 😢😰😞
So happy to see the rescued dog. My mom had 7 rescues when I moved back home to take care of her. She had fallen and broken bones so I stayed until she was mobile again. People (idiots ) drive through the rural areas and throw out their dogs when the don’t want to take care of them any longer. To blazes with such bad people. We, too, have the yellow mustard plants in our pastures. I think they are beautiful but they are a blight on the farmer and they are caused by acid soil. The soil becomes acid from donkey and cattle and horse poop and their is an answer to the yellow plant blight and it involves having lime spread on your pastures. The lime neutralizes the acid and the yellow plants go away and are replaced by healthy grass that the livestock can safely eat. My step-dad managed a farmers Co-Op for 40 years so I am fairly sure of my intel. You need to contact a farmers supply and have them spread lime on your pastures. God bless your efforts.

It's heartbreaking how humans treat animals. Thanks for the tips on the field!
These are my favorite kind of videos. That is beautiful molding. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸 💖
Bless you for saving that precious lost dog. Please update us in the next vlog if he was reunited with his owners. Love seeing Mimi and the donkeys 🫏. The petite salon is coming along nicely. Since it’s only the two of you, have patience with yourselves. You both deserve a break in the pool and credit for saving this beautiful chateau. Take care and thanks for sharing 😍😘
Love the posing donkeys and your precious rescue baby. TFS love your channel. ❤I didn’t realize that you had a pool. Hope you take time to use it and enjoy your summer❤❤❤
The little dog is precious. My sister in law always adopted older dogs and they were heart-breakingly thankful. You guys need a small tractor.... really. It would speed a lot of chores up and you'd find dozens of uses for it.
Beautiful hydrangeas.
I noticed how well the donkeys looked. How could you not rescue the dog he is soooo sweet how lucky he /she is to have such a good home.
Hi again from Florida! Those donkeys are the sweetest! What happened with the dog?😢 I don't blame you for doing multiple projects, it makes it less mundane and uses different muscle groups, lol. You guys are power houses!😊
Donkeys are looking great and that little doggie is precious!
Amanda, I love your dry wit! I hope it helps you when times are exhausting, cause you have some real challenges! Superb job to you and Lincoln!!
In Australia we call those weeds ragwort, if you have them on your property here, you have to get rid of them.
Hello love the channel the place is so lovely! Just FYI here in Seattle they call the yellow weeds Yuka or Yuca and yes bad for donkeys and horses. Ty for posting your hard work!
The restoration is trés bien (I'm learning French)🙂in the petit salon. You have so much to do that it's not expected to be doing only one thing constantly. Those cornices are beautiful! Will be nice when they are up. I'm sure Lincoln will do a good job on restoring them. That dog was just a cutie! Good thing you rescued him. Mimi looks well. Dominick and Uvea look great! Can see the difference. It's really nice you have good neighbors who can help you out with the orchard. Your hydrangeas are beautiful! Looks so nice against the chateau. Look forward to your next video. A bientôt! Lynn from Arizona.
😀
So much love on those gloves❤
Vous avez beaucoup de courage et comme on dit en français " du coeur à l' ouvrage" ..oh et ces hortensias to die for :-)
Great team work. You are an animal saver ❤
I feel quilty sitting on my settee just watching you do all that stuff, you need to chill a little then I won’t feel so bad! 😂
I volunteered for a breed rescue for years. I just love your heart for animals. Bless you for taking care of this sweet, older gentleman.
So much work on a daily basis, no wonder you are tired, I had a ranch with horses in Ca and I was always tired but I wouldn’t have done anything different, hope you feel the same it looks very good compared to other chateaux’s out there.
Still beautiful..keep it up.
Great job getting the weight down on the donkeys so they don't get laminitis. If they get it you have even bigger management problem and it can be extremely painful for them and even life threatening. They look nice and trim and fantastic in their summer coats. For exercise, If they are competitive enough, between the two of them, you can set up a game where you place fruit, or whatever low calorie treat they can't resist and place it super far apart and they will run around trying to find them. Better yet, have them watch you do it while keeping them separate, so they get super excited and they will run from treat to treat. I only know that trick with fat ponies but I am sure they would do it too. We used to just throw apples down the field and they would go crazy running around trying to find them.
We can try! They both LOVE strawberries.
Such a beautiful piece of property . Thank you for sharing your journey
You are both caring and lovely poeple. You are both doing a beautiful job. Love your video's.
I enjoy watching your progress in fixing up the Chateau. Try to stay positive in your progress and enjoy all the struggles to get to the end product. Be happy and don't worry. Rome wasn't built in a day.😊
I have I the attention span of a gnat. So I totally get it. Have to break it down into small sections to mentally deal with large projects. Makes all the difference in the world. One chunk or small project at a time. It has kept me from getting overwhelmed at work and at home! Brava!!! You have got this 🎉
Wisteria is a curse on man. It may be beautiful while blooming, but is a ongoing battle throughout the year. Good luck and be prepared for constant management.
Mine ran underground into the neighbors yard. I battled the stumps and shoots for years to keep it from returning. Personally, I hate it and English Ivy. The only thing I’ll work that hard on is climbing roses. 💕😮
I don't know if you watch other chateau channels but Carole from Chateau De La Ferte just finished her grand salon and had to rebuild much of the plaster on her ceiling and walls. Adrian had to rebuild the floor. All in all it took them a year to complete. Like you, they bought their chateau as a home and not a future business.
Enjoying your channel.. you deserved to be tired.. big days of work..but with purpose and satisfaction i hope..
Prune spring flowering plants in the fall and fall blooming plants I the spring.
If I may suggest watching Chateau De la Ferte with Adrian and Carole. Carole just redid her Grand Salon and found a product to gently strip her plaster ceiling pieces. She pretty much stripped the whole room to remove all the layers of paint on the plaster. It worked fantastically and easily. She also reproduced missing pieces and patched cracks. They are in France too... somewhere. But you two may be close enough to discuss plaster ideas? Cheers and keep up the good work.
Funny, I just suggested the same as Carole found great products, tools and methods to restore her Grand Salon.
Maybe Carol has good ideas and good products for working, maybe she works hard and well… but when you remember what the former and old moulding was in the Salon and you now see by what she replaced them in some part of the room ; and overall, when you see all this white and shiny fabric on the wall and all this fake gold leaf she applied everywhere in what is (don't forget it) just a small countryside château, well, you can also think she has a very questionable taste 😂 A bit of subtlety, elegance and discretion would not be too much, far from it 😂
Your videos are getting better and better every month.
😀
Glass in your window blocks fully UV light. So you have UV protection.
I really enjoy your videos! Also, love the how the house is coming together!
Thank you so much!
I feel so much better about my own painting projects at my new home after seeing your video.😳 I admire your perseverance! You go girl❣️
I cannot wait to see the transformation of the Le Petit Salon. I know it will be amazing and look forward to watching you do all the hard work just for our viewing pleasure. 🌺
I think the ceiling decoration is called a frieze - it is beautiful.
It is called "moulures" (ceiling moulding) 😉
Thank you so much for the update on your Chateau. Euvea and Dominique looks fantastic. It is always good to see them. I know the parlour is a very tedious job. One step at the time. Thank you for sharing. Lots of Love to you all. ❤❤❤❤ Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thanks Doris
Stack the outside laying pile of wood under a cover ( in my Ardennes village they use metal wave sheets and put some stones on them) or just stack them un der a roof. Not just so in the open. Here tney also split wooden beams and they use them as poles to border the fields. I like how you both stay with both feet on the ground.
Good idea to make pelmets out of the decorative wood. Or they were pelmets before. Pretty anyway. Like your attention to detail.
I love your heart with the animals! ❤
So much work, yet still taking care of the animals! Bless you for taking care of them!
What happend to to dog
Thanks
Thank you 😀
You both work so hard. Your kindness to animals is one of the reasons I love your channel. Any word on the sweet little pup you helped?
Congratulations for the work - once again !
Dear Amanda, the word you were searching for at 04:32 is "Moulures" (ceiling moulding) 😉
Thank you :)
You are too hard on yourself. You are two people running an estate that in the past had inside and outside staff and now you are trying to do it all yourself. I think you are doing an amazing job and the petit salon is coming along nicely. Also you are making this vlog that I personally love and which I know is not easy because you are always trying to make good content. Like I said you are both too hard on yourselves. Take care from your avid Canadian follower.
😀
I'm so jealous of your blue hydrangeas!!!💙💙💙😂
I really enjoy your blogs, thank you for making them.
You HAVE AN AMAZING HEART
Thanks :)
I just subscribed, although have been following you and your animals adventures for a while. I just love your dry sense of humour. You have the most beautiful chateau and grounds. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks :)
I know with the constant amount of jobs you have at the chateau editing and making videos is one more job to do, but keep making them because I love your channel. You are such good people, rescuing animals that need help and loving homes, your style and stunning land, views, chateau and out buildings, etc is such a joy to watch. Thank you and be well. xx
9:29 First time I see that "cable channel". Very nice and simple way. I have a few like those wall lamps but mine are former gas fueled ones so there is a "tunnel" I used to put the cable through and it is quite difficult to do it.
Thank you for rescue that lovely dog 💝 I hope he has a nice home or this precious dog will become a prince at your chateau ⚜⚜⚜ Greetings from Austria
Pruning of fruit trees are done in Autumn not spring, also the wood for the window is a pelmet in the UK, you add a fabric frill pelmet underneath the wood at the top of the curtains so that it hides the curtain rail.. hope this helps 😊
Beautiful work !
Beautiful Hydrangeas in your garden ❤thanks for lovely vlogs
"ceiling details" : moulures in french (moldings).
The poisonous weed is Tansi and we also have it in Canada. We do not have it, but have a terrible false dandelion problem where I was mowing 12 hours a week to try to keep the heads from going to seed. This year we had to break down and spray a herbicide as the horses get ulcers or stringhalt from it. It just never ends….hope the dog found his owner.
Your Hydrangea are gorgeous!
Yes,ragwort. I remember it well when i was involved with horses. But had to Google it. As you do. Says it's more palatable when it's dry so risky. Another job for the list but there you go! Wish i could help.😢
Happy July...
You have wonderful shows, l often watched them on television. But too notice you and your husband have many major projects. I understand the frustrations of just looking at it and want it all finish. Here's a thought, think about requesting volunteers to help you. If you have know living quarters, requested them to have their own campers. You deserve extra helpers who do care...
Amazing work! Outstanding work ethic!
the yellow flower is rag wort, deadly horses/donkeys.
Your blue hydrangeas are gorgeous!
How do you not get a neck ache working on the ceiling? Maybe that’s one reason why you’re doing sections around the room?
So sweet the little dog you rescued, you have a big heart! ♥️
Look at you guys go! Do you ever order in after these long physical days? Can you order in at your chateau? Being a chef, is ordering in a cause for disappointment?
That dog was so sweet. Hope he wasn't abandoned but if he was, he'd be very lucky to come live with you.
I wish we could order in! Chinese or pizza would be amazing...
You work very hard on all your projects! Amazing.
You guys are just awesome! What happened to the lovely lost pooch? And your hydrangeas are to die for!
You need a chipper to dispose of those branches, I know what you mean about team effort. I live on a farm and work part time, getting help is like pulling teeth.
Absolutely love your sense of humor. It even shows in your choice of pool floats! Can't wait for your next video. Thanks for the entertainment. Please show us more of your excursions out to local areas, perhaps restaurants?
