- Several months after the first signing, we are back for the second and final signing and oh, so ready to get the keys and begin our life in France at Château de La Tuilerie. We unloaded some of our belongings then stayed in a hotel while the Raynals (former owners) continued moving out. Then finally on October 27, 2022, we signed, got the key, moved in, and the adventure began. We hope you enjoy our château story. This was a huge day for us. We can't believe how much the castle has changed already!

Queen's Escape was inspired by the 4 years the Belgian royal family stayed at Château de La Tuilerie during WWII. In particular, it is for the Queen. The king took shelter at a different location in France. We've named each of our guest rooms after great Queens of the past and present from around the world. Margrethe, Eleanor, Catherine, Himiko, Cleopatra, and soon our bridal suite will be ready in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
With it's sprawling green meadows, 100-year-old trees, and historic location in the small medieval town of Gluges, the 200-year-old château is truly an escape. With 5 guest rooms to rent and a stunning Orangery, we look forward to welcoming you for a visit or to host your wedding or event.

The floors, the moldings the windows!!! Don’t know how you found it but it a total winner ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Karen and Bo, I just found your channel last week on the last video you had put out, so I am playing catch up but not in order, what I have noticed is the floors in every room that I have seen so far are just beautiful, they look through my computer like you don't have any work to do on them. They are absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to following your journey. Love from N.Y.
We adore the floors. We were lucky there wasn’t major renovation to do. We’re so glad to have you. We both love NY. ❤️
I’m so happy for y’all!
Congratulations! Main thing, HAVE FUN!
Is your husband Dutch? Trying to figure out his accent - you sound like you are from the South in the US...I love listening to the dialects...
Hello Chris, no I’m Danish. Karen is from Virginia. Best Regards, Bo
The Chateau looks in good condition? Hopefully, it's not going to become a money pit! As has happened to my friends and others in France. Wishing you both every success.

Congratulations on a very big hurdle. Looking forward to seeing your journey at the property. Seeing your creative problem solving skills, you will have the basics knocked out in no time. Just as a side note, after seeing the charming fires...had the previous owners had a chimney sweep in and are they inspected and good to go. Am sure you have it nailed down but thought I would ask.
Thanks for sharing and looking forward to watching your journey.
How exciting for you to finally get the keys! Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊 I’m like you kitchen and bathrooms before I could be comfortable. Your going to have so much fun bringing this fine lady up to date.
Congrats! The Raynals seem like lovely people despite his firm "nos" in the beginning. 🤣
They are the nicest and so personable and kind. We'll have them for coffee soon. :)
The view from the patio is stunning. Congrats!
You are living my dream! Congratulations to you both! I look forward to following along. ❤
Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Congrats from the USA guys! It's a beautiful place, and you two will be doin' the 'Belmondo' in no time. 🍀😎
Just sprinkle plain salt on your patio and all the weeds will die don’t put the salt on any parts you are going to plant on
Exciting times. 😀

I'm excited to watch all the work and progress from the beginning! Hello from Florida!
Perhaps you can wind the entrance road so people drive up to the front of the chateau and get the full effect rather than that kind of blah side entrance. Looking forward to seeing what you do!
That is so true. I like that idea.
Congratulations look forward to seeing you

Congratulations 🎊
So happy for you . Isn't it funny that no matter how much money you have or what kind of place you move to, you still want to put your own stuff away? Looking forward to visiting & btw, I do know how to work. Still don't get why Europeans want to wash their clothes I the kitchen. Um, no.
I had the same deal with my hay. Good deal.
I subscribed right from the start when I could see what an amazing journey you were going to have with this beautiful chateau. It’s already in such good shape with it’s beautiful floors and features. Love your plans for the future business. Yes, you have work to do in the grounds but I don’t think that will take you long with your determination. Congratulations and I hope you have many happy years ahead of you.
The drive up to your new home is stunning. Good luck 🤞........
I'm so excited for you!🥳
Your chateau looks to be in amazing shape! After all your cleaning and painting, all it needs is your furniture to be completely livable while you decide on further decor improvements. Cheers to you both from Canada!🇨🇦
So cool. Beautiful property! Hey might want to get that mole removed. To be safe 😊
Those Mountain View’s are breathtaking. I agree, the kitchen has to be organized first.
So fun watching your new start. You guys are hard workers - go you!

Beautiful chateau...yes alot of work but so worth it x
Beautiful, Congratulations.
Congratulations on your new home ❤ stunning property I look forward to following you on your wonderful journey x
U have brought a Diamond its gorgeous . Just sub u ❤
Wow you work fast ! It's looking great ❤
...Nice!!❤
Wow such a stunning chateau! So nice to see one that looks like mostly cosmetic improvements are needed. Are all the big ticket items (roof, heating, plumbing, electrics, etc.) in good condition? I see so many chateau buyers buying chateau that need major repair. It’s nice to see one that seems more manageable. So happy for you and I’m looking forward to watching you transform it into your own. 😊
Hello Patty, yes all the big items are in a good condition and relatively new. The roof is of years, but it keeps us dry. We looked at both options, meaning chateaus that needed the full treatment, and some that were in a better condition. This one was the only one we saw, where someone was actually living in it. Obviously the price tag is different too, but we loved it from the beginning, and we were willing to jump past all the major issues and buy a chateau that we can actually just move into and live in. Best Regards, Bo
Beautiful 👏👏
Really pleased to be with you on this new adventure. I’ve so enjoyed being with many new owners of beautiful Chateaux, from the beginning, sharing virtually the journey you’ll have. My best regards from Kris in the New Forest England
Were did you purchased those fabulous sunglasses... wouldn't mind purchasing a pair,... also congratulation on your new castle home. 🥳🎊💐👏👏👏👏also luv his sunglasses
Ah okay, you mean mine. I saw a woman wearing these sunglasses on a tv show and had to have them. They’re Tom Ford Miranda in gold. Now about $200 on Amazon bc the design is 10 years old or so. 😎
Your channel just popped up! Very excited to follow your journey in this gorgeous chateau. Congratulations on your perseverance and purchase of this stunner of a property. 🎊
Popped up for me also. Looking forward to another chateau adventure!
Do you mean Sept 22 instead of Oct? Sorry I am a bit confused.
me too
Hello, we signed the ‘Acte du Vente’ on September 27th. Best Regards, Bo
Great to see some DANISH representation 😁🇩🇰 I think the Chateau is absolutely stunning - and that Orangerie, with the fireplace.... 😍 IF I could give just a little advice, it would be to really get into the mindset, that this is a Chateau, you are decorating. I have watched A LOT of Chateau channels, and I think the owners often forget, that a Chateau, with very high ceilings, and huge windows, etc., can actually take alot more colour and texture, than you think. The most beautiful Chateau interiors, are the ones, where you feel like there are layers of history. The rooms can take colours, rugs and wallpapers. Dark, wood furniture fits right in, in these big rooms with huge windows. (Please, don't paint dark furniture...) Chandeliers, with sparkly crystals look fantastic on those high ceilings. And I noticed some beautiful Royal Copenhagen porcelain in your kitchen..... - imagine that, as the Danish influence.... That the breakfast table was set with a beautiful mix of classic blue fluted, white half lace and princess...
😁
Hello Rasmus. Thank you for your ideas and input! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 We will do our best to respect the château and the style. The bedrooms are very “light”, so we would like to puff them up with some colour. Stay tuned for more 😊
Oh, I love it…using a whisk to stir coffee…my kinda woman! Playing catch up watching out of order your videos and I like them…looking forward to more… from PA, USA..
My birth state -PA. 😊
You need a couple of big dogs now. I would not live 5 minutes these days without mine. They don’t need to be mean dogs, just the loud barkers to alert you. I have 4. No surprises here.❤❤❤USA Pennsylvania
That’s where I was born - PA. 😊
One day 🙂
Impressive clean-up!!
All the best on your new adventure
I just found your channel. If you paint old walls with flat paint then the imperfections don’t show as much. I know this because I live in an old house with lath and plaster walls. Good luck on your adventure from Canada.🇨🇦
Awesome tip! Thank you.
Congratulations! We are looking forward to stay in your B&B
❤🩹❤🩹
Waxing the floors is not good. Best to wash with white vinegar and water. Waxing darkens the wood and conceals its natural beauty. Keep it simple.
I appreciate this tip as I didn’t really see much benefit to the waxing except an annoying smell. White vinegar and water - I will try this.
Skål! så sejt mand tillykke!
Good luck on your new journey. It looks wonderful.
Congratulations 🥂
Congratulations 🎉 what a beautiful new home 🎉 exciting times 😊 I can’t believe how much you have done already! Wow 🤩
