Life at Chateau de la Coutere

Seven years ago, we left the UK in search of a different way of life.

What we found was a neglected château in rural France, 32 acres of land, and the biggest adventure of our lives.

Welcome to Life at Château de la Coutere.

Join us as we restore our beautiful French château, build a regenerative family farm from the ground up, and create new businesses that allow us to live and work closer to the land.

From renovation projects and life on the farm to family adventures, cooking, welcoming holiday guests - added to the everyday realities of starting over in another country - this channel shares the highs, the lows and everything in between.

Some days are hard. Some are hilarious. Many don't go to plan. But every step is part of the journey.

If you enjoy old buildings, rural life, good food, animals, honest storytelling and seeing what really goes into building a new life from scratch, we'd love you to follow along.

Thanks for being here.
