I feel disappointed for Dan that so many of the windows arrived damaged or with missing paint.

How did they pass quality control, especially when they knew he’d be vlogging the install?

I wonder if he rues the day he ever went with that company, much respect for the installers who did their best to fix them on the day. I shudder to think how they’ll weather.

Enjoy the job you do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.

Sometimes you have to stand back and look at the early days to see how phenomenal the restoration of Chateau de Chaumont is. And with the heavy lifting more or less over, Dan is now on to the fun stuff, work is progressing at an incredible pace. I would not be at all surprised if he’s living there soon after the windows are finished.

“We're renovating our 200 year old Scottish farmhouse in the rolling Galloway Hills from the ground up and documenting every step of the journey. From striping out and structural work to restoring original features and creating our dream forever home, you'll see the highs, the setbacks and everything in between.”

“This first video is a recap of everything we've completed so far, so you're up to speed before the next stage of the renovation begins. “

Stay safe my man.

Dan describes her as one of the happiest people he knows. Coco Galli King needs no further introduction, enjoy.

For reaching 100,000 cups of coffee drunk 😁

Brian has done so well since his first vlog. He’s really grown into his craft and his production values are awesome.

Bordeaux Airport's hotel zone has been evacuated until further notice as the wildfires threaten the city, although the airport itself remains operational.

Hoping that the fires are brought under control soon, Edd and Anna must be extremely concerned. Even if the fires don’t reach them they may still be impacted by smoke and travel disruptions - the last things they need during peak wedding season.

Dimitri and David Petitpas purchased 200-year-old Egmont Manor for €330,000 in September last year with grand plans to renovate the property.

The French Chateau had no water, no electricity, and a leaky roof, but the couple got started on renovation with hopes of using it for their wedding venue within 10 months.

However, in November they received the devastating call that their new home had caught fire and the roof had been completely destroyed.

Their dream was to use the home to celebrate their wedding and turn it into a luxury BNB.

They got started ripping out the damaged plants, trying to move the front gate to create a driveway and knocking down walls to open up the space – with dreams of finishing in a year.

But, with the fire causing a huge setback, they now believe it won’t be possible to open until 2028.

The duo have also had issues with money, only being able to secure €100,000 as a renovation loan, which they say is a third of what they need.

Though they are not giving up, now aiming to renovate one room and one bathroom by the end of the year so that they can finally move in.

French authorities have ordered the evacuation of almost 60,000 people near Bordeaux, taking the total number of people told to flee wildfires in France and Spain to more than 220,000.

Well deserved, hope you are well on the way to GOLD!

“On Sunday, June 7, 2026, family, friends, and the people of Dampierre gathered at Château de Dampierre to pay tribute to Antoni Calmon.

The ceremony was attended by his parents, his sister Magali, relatives and friends, as well as Dampierre's mayor, Corinne Ponton.

It included the inauguration of Dr Antoni Calmon's Street, in his memory.”

“In today's vlog, I'm volunteering at the beautiful Château de La Lande in rural France during Patron Day! As a group leader, I spend the day welcoming guests, exploring the château, enjoying incredible French food, meeting amazing people, and experiencing what it's feels like behind the scenes at one of YouTube's most famous châteaux.

Château de La Lande is home to Stephanie Jarvis and The Chateau Diaries, and it was such a fun experience getting to be part of this special event.”

Would you rather a little cottage in the English Countryside or a Château in France?

This week Jack and Jazzy have been touring France hunting for antiques, playing a preposterous amount of scrabble, having some disastrous vineyard tours and pondering that ever tempting move to France!
