Inside the Château: We Asked Viewers To Prove They’re Real

This week we found ourselves under the tree, in the heat, with a film crew due to arrive, a drinks party to host, a podcast to record, and the familiar realisation that we only seem to function when a deadline is breathing down our necks.Somehow that led us from château chaos to airport panic, from Lionel’s hatred of last-minute travel stress to Claire being accused of smuggling “ancient artefacts” out of Morocco. There’s also Margot interrupting the outdoor studio, marathon runners being sent round the most annoying path in France, the robo mower finally entering the conversation, and a rather lovely thought about all of you watching us from wherever you are.So this week we have a request: send us a photo of yourselves watching Our Château Life. We see numbers on a screen, but it would be wonderful to see the actual people behind them. Unless, of course, you really are monsters. Nice monsters, obviously.Lionel & Claire xxx
