Where Can I Watch Escape to the Chateau in the US

IT’s one of the surprising hits shows over the last few years and if you start watching the first one, you’ll be hooked. It’s called Escape to the Chateau and is a charming real-life story that will probably inspire awe and jealousy to many of us watching!

Here’s the Channel 4 summary of the show which premiered in 2016 –

Lt. Col. Dick Strawbridge and his partner Angel Adoree trade in their two-bed apartment in Essex for a dilapidated 19th-century French chateau, and work tirelessly to restore it back to its former glory. With a limited budget to renovate 45 rooms, as well as improve and maintain acres of land, it is a huge task for the couple who want to create a beautiful venue for weddings and events. Dick gets started by installing a complex heating system, while Angel gets creative with the chateau’s vintage decor. The couple soon run into budgeting problems yet persevere, as the deadline to the wedding season and its hundreds of guests draws ever closer.

And of course, the amazing chateau that they bought and at a price you won’t believe.
