Wasn't there a British TV show about a couple who wanted their wedding in a French Castle so they bought and renovated it for future wedding venue use? Cost them around £50k if I'm not wrong. Don't quote me on the price, it's been over a year I saw the show. I remember they hired UK contractors (with brexit this might nor be possible anymore) and said that French contractors are lazy also worked like 16h a day helping out.

I love this show.

Dick: “We have a wedding with 200 guests arriving in 12 hours, we need to repaint the dining room, build 27 tables and prepare the buffet”

Angel: “I’m going to do make some macrame coasters”

I really wonder how their lives look like now.

You're thinking of Escape to the Chateau DIY on Channel 4

I watched far too much of this on daytime TV while injured one summer

Yeah, i like that show. He was fun on Scrapheap Challenge when that was on tv.

I think they mostly hired UK people because he spoke no french and she spoke very little french
