Television series: Escape to the Chateau
Escape to the Chateau is back for a new series and we are extremely grateful that Dick and Angel Strawbridge chose to install Solatube tubular daylighting systems into both the bathroom and walk-in wardrobe of their luxurious bedroom suite transformation of the 150-year-old granary store in the original coach house during episode 1. See the full episode here.
Escape to the Chateau is a Channel 4 reality television series which follows the story of couple Dick Strawbridge and Angel Adoree along with their family as they buy and renovate a 19th-century Château de la Motte-Husson in Martigné-sur-Mayenne, France, while simultaneously raising two young children and starting a business hosting weddings and other events. The first season follows Dick and Angel's quest to restore the derelict château from its uninhabitable state by installing running water, heating and electricity throughout the 45-room home, which had not been lived in for the previous forty years. They are working against a deadline – their own wedding, which is to be held at the property. The subsequent seasons continue the story as they grow their special events business while proceeding with more renovations and maintenance of the château and its grounds, as well as document the family events and milestones going on around them.
