Part 1/9:
Transforming a Crumbling Castle into a Four-Star Hotel
In a quiet corner of Corz, France, stands an ancient castle, steeped in history but crumbling under the weight of time. Abandoned for over 30 years, this once-majestic structure has recently become the centerpiece of an ambitious renovation project led by two friends, Francis and Benois, who purchased the castle with a bold vision: to convert it into a stunning four-star hotel. With no prior construction experience, the duo faced an uphill battle marked by unforeseen challenges, including harsh weather, a global pandemic, and escalating costs. Their journey encapsulates resilience, creativity, and the power of community support.
