Fanny is just such a weird person and the more she puts out on her boring flogs the more it is evident. She has had the place for donkey's years nearly as long as Pube's ugly head came into the world. All the Granny's lap it up as an image of life in France. But here's the thing, she is half French has lived there for 18 years and yet nothing about her life embraces France or French culture. My experience of life in rural France is the French are very welcoming and friendly and will do anything to help if you're engaged in forming friendships. After 18 years Fanny has no French friends in the area (if she did artisans would be easy to find). She doesn't integrate, she doesn't enjoy French food or produce other than a baguette with hard boiled eggs (hardly embracing all the wonderful produce) she doesn't even serve French regional food to guests. They largely eat crap cobbled together from tins and British
tit imports. Not only does Fanny not have many French friends she has very few friends full stop.
Fanny purports to be interested in history and restoring her Chateau but she just isn't even the most minute tasks remain undone. If Fanny had shown some mettle and got some renovations done in an orderly fashion she probably would have landed major TV deals. She wastes every opportunity and is happy to just be drifting along, her channel is flagging because she is lazy and entitled and lives in her own dysfunctional bubble. Her lifestyle just shows a pathetic woman child whose existence is all about her, in her little bubble she is front and centre. She could have been front and centre of the Chateau renovation world but now none of the serious people want anything to do with her Chateau de la Ruch and the like because actually Fanny is selfish and not honest.
The misnomer that there are no workman in rural France is a joke-there are just not endless English workman who are willing to be ripped off used for flog fodder and then callously cast aside. Now with Amaury moving out less and less will be done and the content at this point is becoming unwatchable.
@T Rex is right she has missed the biggest opportunity ever. If she put as much energy in to buckling down and doing some work as she does into fudging timelines and holiday plans and stopped acting like Lady Muck who does absolutely bugger all these days the money would be rolling in. I find her odious, hygiene deficient and utterly deplorable at this stage and I am finding her hard to watch and very boring. If we are bored the fans will follow at some point. Look how many long term tattlers have disappeared it is because she is now dull and desperate. I suspect she is going to be very very lonely by the time she hits her late 50's. She has wasted her Oxford University education, wasted her friendships and shown cruelty to many and now she faces just being a girl who used to be pretty and liked to party, but the party has left town. The thing is though even her old friends Bag head, Oli have moved on and carved out meaningful relationships, she is constantly trying to find events to recapture parties past but the hedonism and halcyon days are gone you can't recreate that vibe with an aged rent a crowd.

Dis-functional, desperate people at the dump. Anyone who spends any length of time at the shitoo is a misfit just looking for something in life- normal people couldn't live there for even a week.
