About Escape to the Chateau in brief
Escape to the Chateau is a British Channel 4 documentary series. It follows the story of couple Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree along with their family as they buy, renovate and redecorate the 19th-century Château de la Motte-Husson in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, France. The first season follows Dick and Angel’s quest to restore the chateau from its uninhabitable state by installing running water, heating and electricity throughout the 45-room castle. The subsequent seasons continue their story as they grow their events and wedding business and continue restoration, renovations and maintenance of the castle, and document the family events and milestones going on around them.
The appeal of the show may be due to the affordability on face value and lack of demand for such French properties, which attracts many English house buyers. However, the show makes viewers aware of the large restoration and running costs of such projects, which can become costly for people trying to make a business out of these castles. A second version of series 1 was shown on More 4. More 4 has shown these additional episodes as an extended four-part version ofseries one.
