Our Château Life
We’re Lionel & Claire, living full-time in a historic château in rural France. Soon appearing on Channel 4’s Château DIY, we share the real, unfiltered story of château life on our YouTube channel, Our Château Life — from renovations and French bureaucracy to the humour, challenges and quiet moments along the way.
If you love château restoration, dream of moving to France, or enjoy honest, long-form storytelling, you’re very welcome here.

The Chateau
At the heart of the French countryside, Château de La Vergne is more than just a beautiful old building - it’s our great adventure. With its elegant stone façade, timeworn chapel, and rooms filled with stories from centuries past, the château is a place where history and everyday life happily collide.
