    This is amazing that no one has vandalized this. In the US that wouldn't happen. The amount of respect is to be commended. This should be preserved as a historical site for people to see the pure elegance of the style. Be a shame to see everything sold off and the place emptied.

    Scattered throughout the countryside of France you will find abandoned mansions, abandoned and many left untouched and unloved. Only a handful go up for sale each year, and many from around the world snap them up for a vacation home. Truthfully, France has some of the most beautiful mansions in the world with unique architecture, and in the right hands these mansions can be restored to their original state.

Myself, I'm an only child of an only child and I have no children or husband so when I pass (hopefully not for a while, I'm only 40 lol) my house and contents could be left like this if I don't carefully designate who they will go to. It happens more often than people would think, that there's no one designated to inherit.

That's what I enjoy, all of the pale colors and I see mostly eggshell blues and pale yellows with the wainscoting. It's beautiful.

      If it weren’t abandoned, there would be a note inside to those who might enter curiously, explaining it may be an auction. This is no big professional auction. It’s very amateur if it is one. Looks more like they had a tag sale and the left overs were abandoned, cause no one was interested.

    Hello, NIce videos and I like your respect for others' belongings. I'm from the US and work selling antiques and vintage jewelry. I have some names for you for your adventures. The wooden and carved closets are called Armoires. The treasure chest is a steamer trunk. The pipe is a Native American Peace Pipe. The desk "Flatteners" are actually called blotters, usually made of wood and leather with an absorbent bottom to dab up excess ink. The desks with drop-down tables and cabinetry are called Secretaries. The Asian "Rackets" are Asian fans, to fan yourself in the heat. Hope that helps.

    This place is very beautiful indeed. For those that are arguing here in the comments section. Go watch the video again, and you will see the small white numbered auction stickers. This means the furniture and knickknacks, paintings, and every thing else are being auctioned off. Most likely in a live auction bidding via what ever site the auction house uses. People phone in, or uses something like a live chat to bid. Since this pandemic is still raging that is what most auction houses do. Of course things in the house has been pretty much cleaned up. It is very satisfying to see no spray painting crap on the walls, and broken furniture, or paperwork all over the floor. After the house is emptied of everything, either it will be sold by the bank, and or whom ever owns it. Yes there is black mold on the third floor, either the house will be deep cleaned or sold as is. Great video.

      Just watched alleged abandones caerle in the Nertherlands. Became obvious it was occupied. Clean kitchen. Microwave. Bathroom very clean. In use.
      Linen covered tables. Clean.Explorer States later
      Police presence.
      "Owner moved back in since"...Newsflash-He likely was living there when you accessed property.

      None of these places are abandoned sort of speak, someone owns these properties
      Especially this one . I wouldn’t be going in these properties myself.

    BRAVO! Simply elegant and silently beautiful
    This is beyond words
    I certainly hope someone will save the priceless historic items
    To a museum or private collection is better than rot

    This house just blow me away. I agree with you. Some people are so rich that they received the huge inheritance and then they walked away from their ancestors.
