British reality series of 9 seasons and which already aired. From June 2016 to December 2022 but our telly is showing it every now and then.
So, this reality series follows a couple who decides to buy a castle in France and moved in before the castle is finished. A castle that noone invested in more than half a century, you can imagine in what condition is. So, yes, at first, we follow only one couple, then other couples but i liked original staff the most; Rick, a former soldier and Angel, interior designer.
I would like to stay in the castle but all these decorations, installments, it costs too much money. Hm...
And you, mylotters?

@grenery8 The larger space, is more inviting for a growing family, inviting friends and family over. After the family is grown and on their own, we are enjoying living in a nice small space, big enough for the 2 of us, with a little extra space that I was easily able to adopt and make a home office out of until I retire and then that room becomes a den again, a place to put together jigsaw puzzles or to read a book quietly.

I never watch "reality TV" because it's all scripted and not interesting to me.

It'd be "cool", but certainly it'd be too expensive to bring it up to modern standards. In my husband's family - it was said that his ancestors did have a castle in Scotland. With research, it was found that it still existed and that it was up for sale (at that time) for an "inexpensive" price (relatively speaking - it was still in the millions 
). Apparently it had been vacant for too long, and although it looked "cool" via the photos we saw, so much had to be renovated. We all joked that we should invest in it and move there - but no way.

@grenery8 Well, I guess the castle is only by family name - apparently anyone with this name comes from that town. So I don't know that "we" could have actually acquired that castle. But nice to think about it anyway. I think this one too was almost in ruins - it would take too much money to repair such a structure - money none of us have. Maybe the dream is cooler than the reality of dealing with an old castle .

yes, nice as a joke, most definitely. i'm glad you can say that you could have lived in a castle in scotland, that's nice
this couple got this instead of 2bedroom apartment and invested all their savings; even repair crew said they were nuts moving in. i think the castle was 280 000 pounds and they had to get rid of bats, mice and flies. so many rooms and 60 windows, i think
we can be cool but we need to be realistic as well

I would like to live in a castle of my own one day since it would be interesting to see what it would look like.

That sounds like *Escape to the Chateau*! Such a fascinating show—watching them transform that place was incredible. But yeah, the cost of maintaining a castle is no joke. Fun to dream about, though!

@grenery8 Yeah, I've watched the video. So true living in a castle would be a dream.

Hm. I wouldn't mind vacationing to a castle--but don't know if I'd want to live in one permanently.

Never seen it. I would love a castle but not the cost.
