Returning a huge, abandoned chateau estate to its 17th Century glory. Decades of destructive forestry ruined the medieval estate of Chateau de Rosieres in southern France. Follow our journey to rescue 130 acres of the castle's historic lands, returning the estate to its self-sufficient heydey of the 17th Century: Rich, productive vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, a working farm, vineyards, ornamental gardens and much more... All based on environmentally-friendly, sustainable principles.
We are Amy and Marc, a French-British couple with young children and far too many birds and animals. We're also painstakingly restoring the medieval castle and outbuildings. You can follow that part of the journey on our other YouTube channel: @TheGreatChateauRestoration where we show DIY, restoration and renovation work plus historical exploration of the fascinating, centuries-old chateau.
