The WONDER of this ABANDONED CHATEAU saved from ruin

Published 2023-04-14
This week we visited this wonderful abandoned chateau – La Mothe Chandeniers – which has been saved from ruin in a miraculous way. The chateau had been abandoned for nearly a century after a fire destroyed it in the early 20th century. Nature has taken hold and the result is quite spectacular.

In 2018 the chateau was bought by Dartagnans – a start-up company that have created a global community with the aim of saving abandoned chateaux. If you would like to know more about the company and what they do, or if you’re interested in becoming a co-chatelain of this magnificent building then follow this link: dartagnans.fr/projects/2311/campaign

We would just like to add that this is not an advert. Dartagnans have not approached us and we are not being paid in any way to promote this. We found the chateau, its history and the future project fascinating and so wanted to share it with you all.

Welcome to Living in the Loire, we are a young family in rural France, renovating previously poorly converted barns. We aim to do most of the work ourselves, being as frugal and as eco as possible. We are learning on the job and we hope to share the skills we pick up along the way.

When possible we will take you on a tour of the region (the garden of France) sharing with you the numerous chateaux, towns and markets. As well as the house, we will be transforming the garden, bringing part of it back to its previous use as a potager.

This is our dream and one of the main reasons of leaving the city to move to the countryside in France.

Join us on our journey!

    Masya Allah, sangat cantik dan indah. Terima kasih sudah membuat viedo ini. Senang rasanya mendapatkan pengetahuan baru😊
  • Amazing Architecture! Too Bad it can't be Restored! Just Beautiful!😎🍷
  • your videos are amazing as is your videography. they are very calming, relaxing and quite different from others of their genre. please don't ever stop creating, even if you can only do 1 or 2 per month it is worth it to your viewers such as me who are house bound and are living vicariously through you.
  • Professional pics, narration and voice over. My congrats to you both for this pleasant and most interesting view. See you next week for another video. Thanks
  • Easter at the Château must’ve been so wonderful! The weather was perfect, blue skies, and spring grass, foliage and flowers. Thank you for sharing.
  • I miss you and your family! What are you up to? Gardening and running after the kids, most likely. Anyway, I hope everyone’s well and happy.

    That was soo interesting and beautiful , I’d love to visit there .
  • I live in the Pacific Northwest in the USA and old for us is 150 years or so. There is a romantic element in knowing a building has seen so much since it was built. If only it could tell us its stories.
  • What a spectacular chateau it must have been. Thank you for the wonderful visit and great information.
  • Thank you for taking us on this wee tour of the chateau....so interesting and so glad that it is being preserved! See you next week.
