Our French Chateau
Welcome to Our French Chateau!
We’re Amanda and Lincoln. Burned out on city life, we left San Francisco for a 19th-century château in the French countryside. Follow our family as we restore the château, revive the gardens, and embrace slow, simple living with our daughters, cats, dogs, and donkeys. Watch our daily adventures, projects, and life in a real French château.
If you love French countryside living, historic home restoration, gardening, and behind-the-scenes château life, join us on our journey as we bring Château de Lingourdy back to life.
