Our visit to Chateau De Londigny continues. We explore another Chateau Salon before dinner at a local restaurant, then on an early morning wander with the dogs we explore a little of the Chateau Park Land.. Then, after a beautiful breakfast, we all get to work on some Chateau projects. Later we are rewarded with an Al Fresco dinner.

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

  1. Not a bay tree the birds carry berry seeds that the eat and then poop and these trees appear, they end up with with a white small flower and either purple or yellow berries, they are a nuisance plant.

  2. Hi Jane and Tony, what an amazing chateau that was. I loved the quirkiness of it and there was so many things to look at.
    The details on the furniture were fabulous and I could imagine you could spend hours looking at everything . I loved the cabinet with the religious objects. I did spot one thing on the middle shelf on the left that would be lovely in Patrick and Stuart’s chapel. It was either a Monstrance or a Reliquary it was gold and had a sun design and a cross on it.
    Thanks Jane as usual a very enjoyable vlog. 🇨🇮

  3. Jane, Thank you so much for sharing your trip to Denise's gorgeous huge Chateau! So much to do, and so lovely of you to help them💕

  4. I joined “Selling up” just a few days ago and have binged all their vlogs. What an amazingly talented couple Denice and Brett are! Thanks for the tip Jane! I can’t seem to find any history on this chateau that is in English though but will push on. It’s really an amazing place and to have all the treasures included when they bought is fascinating! What a fun weekend you all had!

  5. Wow! That Chateau is beyond amazing inside and out. It’s like a Disneyland Fairy Castle. So much to look at. They will be busy bringing it up to scratch after winter. They have some amazing furniture, chandeliers, dressers, paintings, copper. Love it all. Thank you Jane for this video ❤

  6. This chateau is like a castle from Disney fairytale. There is so much to see and do. I am happy for Denise and Brett. I have been watching them from the start of their channel. It is so nice to see you all help one another. ❤

  7. Great vlog J&T ❤Like and Subscribe everyone❤ doesn't cost a thing❤. Let's get NQACDIY❤ to 10k ❤!!!!
    Wonderful chateau❤ thank you for sharing ❤ xx

  8. Les hortensias méritent autre coupe que la cisaille (j’ai mal pour eux). Le sécateur est plus approprié et enlever les branches sèches, le vieux bois…. il y a de très bons conseils de Stéphane Marie (silence ça pousse) 😉 Nathalie Estavoyer Jura.👍

  9. The dinner services were possibly made by "Gien" in limoges because they specialised in making custom crested porcelain .. they are still producing today – but not customised piece

  10. Another lovely video, Jane! I love seeing things through your eyes. I didn’t realize their chateau is so close to a river. Loved the birdsong

  11. It's really lovely to see how all you chatalains socialise and help each other. What a magical place this château is.. you are all so productive ❤😊

  12. The 'elm tree' is a type of euonymus, probably Winged Euonymus. They grow to about 15 feet. It will take severe pruning. I would move it to a more appropriate location where it isn't competing with the hydrangeas for attention. They are commonly called 'burning bush' too.

  13. Lovely to see a home and chateau that isn't under repair (spoke too soon midway just a bit but at least it is liveable space ) 🙂 thank you and Tony for giving us a look around Lady Jane 🙂 the antiques and home are beautiful. Grounds are well looked after as well those pups will love their new play area that is safe thank you for giving a hand 🙂
