Fans were quick to praise the couple for their efforts on tour

Dick and Angel's grand tour comes after the success of their hugely popular Channel 4 reality show which documents the family's journey as they restore their 19th-century chateau. 

Located in the commune of Martigné-sur-Mayenne, in the Pays de la Loire region of north-west France, the 45-bedroom property was once dilapidated, with no electricity, heating or running water before the couple snapped it up for £280,000 back in 2015.

All episodes of Escape to the Chateau are available to stream on All4.
