Restoring a long‑abandoned 19th‑century French château and turning it into our dream home — one project, one lesson, and three muddy spaniels at a time.
We’re Jane and Rory, a British couple bringing Château de Pican back to life in South West France. After sitting empty for over a decade, this beautiful, crumbling place is now the heart of our biggest adventure: learning restoration from the ground up with determination, curiosity and humour.
