Valence, TGV station, 10:30 a.m. On this rainy Friday in December, we are going to meet Franck and Silvère, figures from season 1 of the castle of my dreams, surprise success of the summer on M6 and back for a new season this Monday, January 2, 2023. The show, broadcast daily at 5:20 p.m., followed seven families without personal fortune who had just acquired a castle to renovate it. After twenty minutes on the road, here we are. In the hall, the Yorkshire Looping welcomes us and gleans a few hugs as a pass. Not far, Frank, a stapler in hand, struggles with a bed canopy. Her husband, Silverepicks up the tool: clack, clack, clack, in a jiffy, the ornamentation is complete. A sequence of which the film crew of M6 does not miss a beat. Like two other families in season 1, the couple from Ardéchois and their three daughters agreed to be filmed again in their construction site. In this season 2, twelve tribes will open their doors to the cameras of M6.

The castle of my dreams : Franck and Silvère, the kings of resourcefulness
“Nothing scares us!“, says Franck, now seated in the living room. In fact, three years ago, everything had to be redone. “We knew how to master a lot of things between us, from sewing to renovation. Today, we rely on the trick to reduce the cost of work“, continues the former dance teacher. Near the fireplace, Silvère, who worked in the hotel industry, adds: “Our project is accessible to everyone, you have to be ready to invest 100%“. This fall, they repainted part of the facade of the castle. Alone, because M6 does not participate in the financing. It is precisely this site that serves as a red thread for this season 2.
A place steeped in history
Inexhaustible on the estate, Franck and Silvère scoured the departmental archives, contacted the heirs of the former owners to find out the history of these stones. The visit continues on the floor of the five guest rooms that the couple has opened. In addition, three lodgings and wedding receptions every weekend complete their activity from mid-April to mid-October. The passion that drives them is enough to understand that they do not regret their change of life. After a few exterior shots and a final day the next day, filming is coming to an end: the twelve days of shooting, planned since the end of August, are in the box. From January 2, 2023 on M6, you will discover all the adventures!
