How build a natural pool? We start digging down AGAIN!

After a few months since Jolyon broke his wrist, we finally decided to venture down to the Natural pool again to get this project moving again. Chris had to do the heavy lifting as Jolyon still isn't 100% and after a few months of reflection, we also decided we had to stop building up the walls and instead dig down again to make the foundations wider and build a second layer to the wall to ensure it'd be strong enough for the hydrostatic pressures from the clay.

For every view, and additional subscriber, it means we earn extra revenue from Youtube, which goes directly back into the renovations so it really does help! As you can imagine restoring beautiful old buildings is not cheap and we have had to be creative to fund this crazy project, but so far, we think, it's been worth it!!

A bit about us - We are Chris (the tall one) and Jolyon (the less tall one). We met working at the Foreign Office, and got married in another Château south of Paris in 2018. We have both always separately had a dream of living in a Château, so it was a match made in heaven. We also have our gorgeous St Bernard, Bo, - she loves Château Trois Cloches, and can regularly be seen working in the garden, digging, or moving branches for us. The end goal is to have a beautiful venue available for big groups to hire, or the perfect location for a wedding! We try to capture as much of the renovations as possible for Youtube, so do follow along to see the transformation. We are big believers in bold maximilist design, which fits with the Chateau's Belle Époque era. Château Trois Cloches translates to Castle of 3 Bells. x
