Chateau Capers
Restoring Château de Pican - an abandoned 19th-century chateau in South West France that's been unloved for over a decade. We're Jane and Rory, documenting our French chateau renovation journey as we learn chateau restoration from scratch, transforming this crumbling beauty into a thriving business.
From DIY chateau repairs to discovering hidden rooms, follow our chateau life in France - the triumphs, disasters, and everything between. New videos every week as we bring this sleeping giant back to life.
