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.

On this channel you’ll find:
• DIY château renovation
• French château restoration
• Real costs & behind‑the‑scenes reality
• Château life in rural France
• Room transformations & before‑and‑afters

If you’ve ever dreamed of rescuing a wreck or restoring an old home, come along for the real journey — the progress, the setbacks and the joy of watching a forgotten house come back to life.
Subscribe and join our community of château lovers, DIY optimists and renovation realists as we rebuild Château de Pican… one ambitious project at a time. 🛠️🍷
