Renovating a chateau in the French countryside

Hello everyone!

The holidays are here – and that means it’s time for a holiday episode.

Today’s guest, Julie Huh, lives in a beautiful chateau in the Mayenne department to the west of Paris.

And I just went out to visit for the weekend!

Julie, who is originally from Korea, has spent the past few years renovating her beautiful manor. And as you can imagine, this has come with numerous challenges. Like, for instance, when the bathroom fell through the kitchen ceiling.

But don’t let me ruin the story, here is Julie telling it on the podcast. Check it out (and subscribe!)

If you want to find out more about Julie’s chateau (and if you want to stay there too!) then check out this link here.

For more from The Earful Tower, why not become a Patreon supporter? I heard membership is a great stocking filler ๐Ÿ˜‰

And heck, why not grab yourself a copy of my new book here.

Oh, you want more pics from Julie’s chateau? Ok, I’ll leave you with a few from her popular Instagram page.

If Iโ€™m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like best of all. Visited a friend who live like a Princess from a fairy tale. I visited when she started building her second home in countryside of Korea. My recent visit to her house was a pleasant surprise. Everything is so beautiful. Once my mirror in France now live in her beautiful home in Korea.
