00:00:20
glimpse of their new house in the south
00:00:22
of France a lot of you have been asking
00:00:24
to see it I know that you loved their
00:00:25
house in England it was so beautiful but
00:00:27
it is sold they have moved and what's
00:00:30
lovely is that they're only a five or
00:00:32
six hour drive from leand which sounds a
00:00:34
lot but actually for us practically
00:00:35
makes them neighbors and what's even
00:00:37
better is they're not a tool far from us
00:00:38
here in cap dag this is lot's favorite
00:00:41
place in the whole flat looking at the
00:00:43
view it's a beautiful day but
00:00:45
surprisingly windy so I am grabbing my
00:00:47
jumper you ready darling yes let's go my
00:00:50

00:00:52
beautiful historic home in France it is
00:00:57

00:01:00
not at all decorated yet but look at
00:01:02
these gorgeous Stone stairs the
00:01:05
electrics have just been started so they
00:01:07
have the electrical points ready to put
00:01:09
chandeliers and wall light and I will do
00:01:12
a t fuel when it is done but it is not
00:01:15

00:01:18
waiting to do so for now your sneak peek
00:01:21

00:01:24

00:01:34
the heated pool we haven't got it out

00:01:37
feel warm enough but it's boiling now I
00:01:39
didn't bring a swimming costume with me
00:01:41
you don't think of it in May and the
00:01:43
whole kitchen extension is like an
00:01:45
orangerie with these beautiful Windows
00:01:48
this is actually a lemon tree but my
00:01:51

00:01:57
the two which were there they were huge
00:01:59

00:05:16
very exciting we are in the old town of
00:05:19
aged here you've seen cap D where we're
00:05:21
staying that's the modern Port but it's
00:05:24
by the historic town of a which has been
00:05:26
here since before Roman times and we're
00:05:29
in the
00:05:32
walking towards chat Lan a spectacular
00:05:35
art Novo mansion that was built the turn
00:05:39
of the 20th century by Emmanuel Lon
00:05:42
there's our first glimpse of the chat
00:05:44
Lon it's just opened after a renovation
00:05:46
that took over 20 years and more than1
00:05:48
19 million EUR and excitingly we've been
00:05:51
given permission to film a private tour
00:05:55
Sunday on the shadow Diaries but in the
00:05:57
meantime I'll give you a little sneak
00:05:59
Peak
00:06:06
[Music]
00:08:36
I was tearful in there it is one of the
00:08:40
most beautiful buildings that I've been
00:08:41
in and I know you've heard me say before
00:08:43
that art new is not my favorite period
00:08:46
or style this is one of my favorite
00:08:50
buildings in the entire world if you are
00:08:51
ever in aged please come here this has
00:08:54
been an enormous renovation it's the
00:08:57
jewel of this part of France now in fact
00:09:00
it was1 million for the initial
00:09:02
renovation costs and it just shows what
00:09:05
people can do when they get together to
00:09:07
restore something and it's made me feel
00:09:10
so much better about the chapel
00:09:11
renovation our Chapel I think would fit
00:09:14
inside the ballroom so I can't imagine
00:09:18
the amount of work needed to restore
00:09:21
that entire chadow I can't believe that
00:09:23
we're able to do the chapel and this
00:09:26
just made me realize just how incredibly
00:09:27
lucky we are because was saying here
00:09:30
that they had the same problem that
00:09:32
people didn't want to restore what was
00:09:35
decorative 19th century paintwork it
00:09:37
wasn't considered important enough in
00:09:39
the past and it's only recently that
00:09:42
people have been thinking no we we must
00:09:44
preserve this and as we're also
00:09:46
restoring decorative 19th century
00:09:48
paintwork I feel a real kinship with
00:09:51
this Shadow and I want to say a huge
00:09:53
thank you to all of the patrons of the
