Today I will breathe life in a dormant castle. The family tree of the residence of this property starts in the early 1700s with a high official of the First French Empire, ruled by Napoleon Bonaparte. From the four walls of this glorious building, advice was given to the Parisian parliament during times of revolution. Once a dignified place in its heyday, has now been left to the elements for 6 years afore. It's a shame seeing abundant beauty just withering away and all master-crafted works just turning to dust. Today we will immerse ourselves in the life of an important French family that was once prominent in politics and resided inside of this sublime landmark. Enjoy a tour, as I venture my way inside one of our best deserted finds to date and show you all its museum pieces that are still on display, solely left for eternity to take over.

Abandoned France: MILLIONS LEFT BEHIND | Dazzling abandoned CASTLE of a prominent French revolutionary politician
#abandoned #urbex #france
From this we can realize that nothing really matters ! One day we will all depart this earth and leave everything behind ! Just be kind and leave some good footprints on this planet! Thanks for this video ! Love from Morocco 🇲🇦
well said!
Amen
Everything matters...
Facts!
The only thing we can do is be kind and project happiness to everyone we can, cause our memories we take with us till we fly into the sky.
Dear Lads, he!lo. Its me Old Ann. They took beautiful care and the remodeled the whole house. The French government should step in as your other young viewer said. Can't someone here help save these beautiful pictures. I would try but I am 98 yrs old and no one listens to someone my age!!!
The French goverment is fhe reason these time capsules of Frecnh cultire were abandoned in the first place! I was glad to see this channel do a video in that... (it * was * u guys, wasn't it?)
This made me almost cry .. I am a lover of art and all the art hanging on moldy walls broke my heart .. I hope this family comes together and saves the art , furniture and other items left in this marvelous structure before all is completely ruined ..

Not only the staff and art, also the place I nearly like to go into, to clean up and do the restauration!
That's exactly what happened to me. I don't even want to think about how many of them make the journey to get there to loot.
Out of every Explomo presentation I've watched since 2019, that humongous palace they explored in Germany with absolutely everything left intact, down to the library, glasses and wigs, this is all you need to know about time capsules, lifespans and decay. Roland of Gilead said it best: We do all we can to extend our lives and presence but in the end the earth takes it all back.
very true no matter how much riches we amass in this life, we take nothing with us, and that is a sobering thought. In the end it will all go to rot.
This place blows my mind! What are they thinking leaving all those antiques to ruin? Millions is right! Unbelievable. Like seeing a museum! Great job!
I do not understand why they cannot put all of the valuables in a safe, climate controlled storage area while they come to a decision as to who gets what. It is criminal to just let it all go to ruin.
Before we do that, have to change human minds and greed with it, and main thing is globalists orders have to be ignored or fight against them…When we get rid of them-can start making new life-good for everyone, from there we can preserve our true history and more..!
Amazing Castle
Just love it
@@ludmiladas4788 bad things happened in that house...
@@AbeTheSigma007 what happened?
Yes, there are paintings and sculpture by some of the great art masters and ancient collections from other continents that really could be preserved in am museum, or returned to the country of origin. Such amazing collections! I didn't think I'd watch the entire video but after seeing the first parlour, I was hooked!
I am a antiques dealer and I watched this yesterday and I had to come back to leave a comment . I have watched loads of these RUclips videos were people go into abandoned houses but I can honestly say this video just blew my mind , I wouldn’t like to say how much money there is in paintings and antiques but if they belonged to me I wouldn’t have to work for the rest of my life ever again 😂
Так придите и возьмите а то стонет все и обрастет плесенью
@alanm
You surely could. The furnishings and the clocks, oh the clocks! The chandeliers and light fixtures, just worlds of beautiful things. What a store you would have with the things from this house. Not to mention the stained glass, and the kitchens - the booty trunk is a find. If you could obtain these pieces I’d love to see your showrooms.
I don't think this one was actually abandoned.
Sustitulos en Castellano.
Yes, on the other fairytale castle in France, there were paintings by Francois verdier, and the tapestries are in the same style and some colours of Henry VIII’s tapestries in Hampton court palace! The furniture alone……oh my word, some priceless pieces.
I have watched countless youtube videos over the years but never anything as spectacular as this. I was spellbound throughout. Can't help thinking that all the former owners of this property, down the centuries, would appreciate your showcasing their beautiful home with its precious contents, allowing mere mortals like myself a fascinating glimpse into an unobtainable world.
I presume you alerted the authorities since filming the video, since you mention in the comments below that the contents of the castle have been secured, and the property is now on the market (most likely already sold?) so it will once again be loved and cared for. Well done to you!
A word of advice, always wear a mask when entering moldy premises :-)
It is strange and sad that someone had the wisdom to collect all these items, but had no wisdom to find a suitable person to leave them after death 😔
Iv heard that if you leave it in the trust of .......name ....they can't tax that person ....rather then simply inheriting it .
@@katrinarosetta7824 "suitable person" is the person who can find the way to take care of the memories and the job that the previous person started. And in this case the previous owner did an amazing job, that sadly will soon be gone.
@@tameiakes I hope they turn it into a museum .
@@katrinarosetta7824 it might be different in France idk
Can’t take it with you when you go.
I'm an art historian from Germany and when I watched this video I just thought holy shit. This castle is a pure treasure trove. To let these works of art rot there is a shame. I also hope this place doesn't get famous or known. Otherwise, many of these works of art will be stolen. Some are of great value. This place urgently needs to be secured.
At 53:04 it's a copy of Giovanni da Bologna's bronze statue "Mercury".
I have a book that is written in German that has something to do with Beethoven it's hand written I think it's a copy ...no Ida what it says or if it's worth anything ...?
you really think nobody own it ? there must a a guardian but it's impossible to ban 24h/24 7/7little bastards to violate your belongins. If no heirs in France this go to the tax departement and sold at auction.
Moldy items at auction? I don't think so.
@@gsa7512 Do you ever heard about restoration and in some cases - just cleaning?
@@gsa7512 restoration??
Broke my heart to see all those paintings laying on the floor wasting away. Loved the video
This the most incredibly beautiful property 💗 I have ever seen in my life. I would give anything to live there . I would even just like to be able to walk around in it and see the things you are seeing in person but thank you so much for sharing this amazing video with us. I love watching narrate a video telling the story of the people and their beautiful homes . Your voice is so soothing and sweet to listen too. Thank you. 💕😍
I love how you take your time going through things in detail. Most explorers go way too fast in fact it makes me dizzy how they'll swing the camera around. You are by far one of the best! Thank you for sharing this amazing journey of past history!
No kidding
Bueatful place were is his family to take over ownership has to be descendants
Bros of Decoy do a fantastic job also.
@@chrisholmes6029
Verdade eles tem uma seriedade na produção dos vídeos.
Verdade, Explomo faz uma produção incrível que nos trás muitas reflexões levando a sério a história.
I also guessed that the family is causing difficulty in settling the estate. What is such a shame is to see all those belongings going to ruin, until they no longer have any value!! This house is already set up to be a lovely bed and breakfast place, because each of the four suites on the second floor have not only sleeping areas, but also lounging and private baths. It has so much potential. Thank you very much for sharing this with us all, and giving us a glimpse into the life of a person that loved the finer things in life!
It’s not so much the family that is making settlements hard but the courts and legalities!
This is truly sad a family that is fighting over the belongings and can't come up with agreement and willing to let it go to nature. I hope and pray they will get over it and fix the castle. Don't let it be lost forever. Thank you for bringing life back to the castle. 🏰❤🙏
Watching from Vancouver Island, B.C, 🇨🇦 Canada. I always wanted to go into old houses & see how the other half live & this is even better then I expected. Cheers for this and taking care not to disturb this treasure. ❤
Watching from Vancouver Island too!
me too, chemainus
If you ever get an update on what happens to this place please let us all know. Hopefully this family can save this place. Stunning!
I beleave this family isnt interested at all saving this treasures!
I THINK THIS CASTLE HAS A GHOST THAT WHY THEY LEFT EVERYTHING..
@@efiq78 But they could care this including the ghosts!
@@susannevollmer2347 I THINK YOU SHOULD GO AND STAY AT THE NIGHT..
@@efiq78 Hidden?? No! I`m sure there are never ever ghosts.
This was absolutely breathtaking! And also incredibly sad, that in fighting over this property, it is going to waste! So many homeless and hungry people in the world and yet some can just throw away fortunes! Thank you for documenting this incredible home and artwork!
Entièrement d’accord 😌 ! Quel gâchis !
I agree.
Absolutely well said !!
It is so sad and tragic for the ones that have nothing at all .
How can a property like this be abandoned for so many years ?
France is not that big !!
What a waste, what an extraordinary find in a world full of hunger !
Where are the members of that family, where are their friends, their neighbors, his patients, the government ???
UNBELIEVABLE !!!
The hungry and homeless have mostly chosen that life. This has nothing to do with that. I realize that some people suffer misfortune but it is very misguided to associate a wealthy Dr’s belongings to the plight of the homeless.
@@jameslichtenberger9789 Agree!
Готовый музей, пожалуйста сберегите это достояние!!!! Невероятно красивые статуи, картины, мебель!!!
It saddens me so much to see such a Beautiful Place like this to be left and be forgotten //////
I hope the family stops arguing and start doing something before vandels get in there and do damage and steal things.
As usual it was a find of all finds. As one person said it's BREATHING BEAUTIFUL. I couldn't say it any better.
Stay safe. I can't wait for the next exploration. Love ya 💖💖💖☮️
Agree with you.
Serves them right if someone does take the stuff some of the sketches are destroyed already 🤬
Those who want salvation can repent in Jesus name, receive the Holy Spirit in your heart, and the conviction of the Holy Spirit guides you out of sin continuously and forever John 14:16-17.
Ohhhh Maureno, YOU are by far the best narrator. The way you relate to and explain your videos with such heart and insight. "One day we are here enjoying life and in a moment we are gone". You are so wise for your years. Your tone and delivery are perfect. Oh well, I can't express in words how wonderful you are. Much love and respect to you ❤
Wow, thank you so much for those thankful words and this thoughtful comment of yours, Robin! I greatly appreciate reading such comments like this and they are one of the main reasons I make so much reward and pleasure out of this hobby. Thanks a ton and much love, respect and blessings sending back to you! 😊❤️
You can see and hear how much he loves exploring and seeing all the beautiful history .
Why hasn't this place been turned into a museum. To leave property to ruin is a sin in of itself. The history alone have so many lessons to teach. The value to the surrounding communities & to France is enormous.
Hermes is the winged warrior, the messenger of the Gods. He was known to be a trickster. The paintings you are casually walking by are stunning works of art, many that should be in a museum, especially the portrait done in the style of Lefevre.
Can you go to the county seat to find out to whom the property is registered to, some of those art pieces are extremely valuable and in immediate need of an art conservator, so their value is not lost and others can perhaps see them in an academic sense, it just kills me to see things of such rare and valuable quality neglected. That place needs a couple caretakers to just live there so the place doesn't get overrun or vandalized.
sad to see such building with everything just left to fall apart they could be in museums cheryl
Yes I agree - now that it is on the Internet I have a feeling there are vandals on a treasure hunt now.
Yes l worry about people seeing this and going all out to take the lot.
He did say that the family was fighting for the possessions in the house! Can you imagine the task the court will have dividing all these antiques! There going to have sell most of it and split the money cause I don't think it would be possible for any Judge to deside who gets what!
People are so pathetic and petty when it comes down to money...it boils my brain. They will have NOTHING left to squabble over if they don't get themselves together, it will all be ruined or stolen.
I feel very low about what is happening to this place, so full of history 🥺
Perhaps a Will was not made, who knows?
The thing's in the frame that you thought were wine label's are actually a type of paper currency from the 1700's. Very collectable.
I would beleive the coins laying al over thevtps of those tables
This place doesn't look very abandoned! I mean, its immaculate! Theres not even any dust! Either it was JUST abandoned yesterday or, 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 is going in there and cleaning! So crazy that someone can just walk in and explore I mean, people could so easily steal those priceless artifacts!
Молодой человек, на фоне антикварной мебели и чудесных картин вы трижды показали элементарный предмет унитаз. Этот предмет вы показываете в каждой вашей передаче. Что за странный интерес. Не надо его больше демонстрировать. Спасибо.

Lol 😂
@user-wv1pj6wh4h
Lol they must have,
a ghost👻 with OCD 🤣 haha
(OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder)
Notice at 37:16 a painting has been removed from the frame; this is the third time I noticed an empty frame; someone has cherry picked and removed some artwork, thieves often remove the art from the frame to transport stolen items easily! I think I have recognized several artists styles that would be extremely valuable. I hope they have secured this place so more doesn't disappear!
I noticed.
It’s amazing how can someone work so hard to achieve, once dead no one cares, they rather leave it to rot than help someone.
The greed of some people is unimaginable.
A beautiful property. Thank you for sharing
People are also deeply affected by grief so the items may being sorrow. Remember also that a home is no longer a home without the people that matter to you, whether it is a mansion, chateau or brick veneer homestead...
@@croon4u like the house is dying without the humans running around .
Meanwhile priceless antiques and works of art are left to deteriorate! What a shame!
They probably have family fighting for ownership. Such a shame!
Que belleza !
Thank you for such a lovely journey through another time in French History. I really appreciate how respectful you are with all the objects and I'm so impressed that you took the time to close windows to the elements outside. You are kinder to this building and its history and contents than the heirs. Greed is a terrible thing.
Out of all the abandoned video's I've seen, and you have a lot of them, THIS place is phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal.
Thank you for these wonderful tours - I share your fascination with the architecture, furnishings, decor, books and antique art objects, but I wish you would provide more details of family history.
Even if the family is fighting over who gets what, they still should have kept up the home to keep the interior antiques, lighting fixtures, tapestries, etc. from decaying.
Every town should have a historical society that keeps the abandoned homes well kept from the very 1st day of abandonment to the last day
Где родственники
Toto niesu opustene domy ak to tak bolo davno ich vykradnu su to velmi dobre strazene poklady
Why ❓
That would cost a fortune through hun people are just not that cool with there money ,they rather go on 🚢 cruses 🙄
I saw a documentary years ago about what it took to own a small castle. Just basic maintenance could easily cost $100,000/year. That would not include any restoration work or upgrades to modern standards.
I love seeing these homes, at the same time I get angry that someone has not come in and moved all this wonderful stuff to a museum
What someone would you suggest. This legally belongs to someone. A museum can't legally take things to display, then own.
That was the most amazing explore! Thank you for showing all the beautiful details. Loved this one so much.
This was beyond words! So sad to see such fine works of art left to rot. This was truly one of your best to date. Your production as well as yourselves are growing quite nicely. Congratulations!
An absolute tragedy. The owner would be turning in his grave. Despicable how family can just abandon these priceless works of art. Shame on them. This is history for everyone not just their petty small selves
Genealogia
Often taxes etc. Family can't afford to keep up. Homes taken in payment by Government.
Dude they prob all dead before him
It's a grotesque collection of religious icons, were some of them ripped off from churches, temples etc?... The African statues, were they a relic from the family's colonial slave legacy? So many questions unanswered...
Family is fighting over it so sad
I thank you for how you explore and share, all the while respecting these relecs! I enjoy how you take your time exploring every nook and crannie. I also deeply adore your passion as well as your desire to protect and preserve these hidden treasures. Oh how brilliant you must be in life, to live so presently in the moment and to be open to receive such fantastic opportunities and adventures! Thank you for letting me live bicuriously through you.

And also you deserve to hear nice words all day everyday, because you work hard to make these awesome videos. You're talented and your editing skills are always improving, your intros are bombs, your choice of music is even bomber! Lets's talk about the video now. HEAVEN!!!!! I am a person that really likes art, and you gave me art in this video!!!! Paintings, antiques and statues all over the place. Art mixed with decay art.

The antique stuff, the wallpapers, the beautiful french fournitures, the amazing fireplaces.... heaven heaven heaven!!! The place is more than amazing and you made it more enjoyable, showing us the details and talking about each and every item in this chateau. I bet it was hard editing a long video like this one, but you did a great job!

I love the way you show us everything with so much respect and admiration... And so slow so that we can appreciate the details too. Thank you for your time and dedication. It's really beautiful and sad at the same time.
Wow this was incredible! How could anyone leave this all to be destroyed. You need to do a update on this , how very sad this family would let this happen. Awesome job on the tour, hope u took a souvenir!
A coin
That would be stealing.
They are explorers and they tried to leave everything nice and don’t take anything so they have a good conscious to keep on doing it as explorers God bless you
This is why I write in a journal. Because if I am old and randomly die one day, I want someone to find it my journals and know my life.
I see so many things, that I wish I could stop you while you are going through to tell you about, what they are and what somethings are worth. I see an original Caharles Eames lounge chair and ottoman, I see a few paintings that look like old masters, I see what you think is a record player that is actually a large music box, that would have played music on that metal desk. The bronze statue that had wings on its ankles and hat is the Roman God Mercury also called the Greek god Hermès whose staff is a symbol of the medical profession.
I’d loved to go through this place, bit by bit and see all the treasures. I hope it does not get looted. An art historian should be allowed to go in and save the important pieces. It’s so sad that it is all going to be lost, stolen or decay into ruin.
Are you an art restorer or an art historian?
@@troyrawlins8328 No, I am not. I have a degree in Fine Art with a focus on Interior Design. I had two years of Art History, two years of the History of Interior Design and Architecture, two years of the History of Furniture and Textiles. I have repaired/restored some of my family and friends' artwork, jewelry, expensive dolls and a couple of books that all went through Hurricane Katrina floods, and just have always had and interest in it all. When I watch these videos, I just sit there with eyes wide open (and probably my mouth😂). We lost so much of our history and historic art, artifacts and architecture from Katrina when so many historic churches were flooded. Many, many filled with religious art that came from Italy, France, Belgium, etc. that were much older than the churches they were in, so to see, especially the religious art in the chateaux, manors and castles and their chapels almost gives me a slight panicky PTSD. I want to save it all. I am so thankful for the urbexers that are truly, just Documentary Historians. They're capturing so much of a lost way of life. My Interior Designer self, that had to learn each minute detail, name of furniture ornamentation, construction and evolution (from the first stone chairs to Egyptian thrones and chairs to the first true upholstered chairs, bergeres, through the Louis periods all the way up to the horror we have now of composite plastic/wood pulp mimicking wood grain) cringes, seeing the furniture that was once museum quality, decay. The wallpapers and fabrics on furniture fascinate me and I want to lift them and see the historic layers that can tell how well off or how penny poor the great houses were throughout their history. I want to yell at them to stop at certain things, because it’s the tiny details that reveal the history. So, experience? A little. Knowledge? A good bit. Love of it all? Definitely.
@@nolachick7474 Hi. Bros of decay also explored the castle. They show a lot of the artworks and furniture in detail. You will also see how people have already turned over furniture and that things have gone missing after this explore. This family need to get their act together and at least move all the valuables to a warehouse to avoid further decay and theft.
Did you notice a certain a artist in lower floors in basement? The African art pieces! I majored in Anthropology and Art. I know what is there it is killing me. They need to get that stuff out.
@@heidisteyn7249 Yes, I saw that one as well. It’s so sad theses places most often end up being ransacked.
This place should be preserved as a historical sight and made into a museum. So many Incredible artifacts.
Agree or give to squatters. They Fixed up amazing places
Squatters are trash that would have destroyed the place
@@pseudokowski not all
@@pseudokowski some fix things up & grow veggie & herbs gardens. plant orchard here in Oz anyway
He said the owner died and the family is arguing about who gets what. It belongs to some of them.
The Bros Of Decay also filmed that same castle. The room you start to see at 4:55 in their video you see things in that are moving back and forth, appearing , disappearing , and reappearing. the feather cushion on the lounge or chess-say-lam has a dent, no dent ,and a dent. Lesley was kneeling on it a couple times as well as siting on it in the cover photo of his video. Looking at Explomo video things are in different places compared to the 2 back and forth shots in the BOD video. In the Bro of Decay video the room starts to be seen at Thirty-four Thirty-four. I did have both videos up side by side. Lesley does put things back where they were when done filming. It is sad see this place left to deteriorate. Both are excellent videos of this castle.
I spent the most fascinating hours watching this video. Well done for sharing it with the world! Even if I feel like I’m violating the place by watching, it is so enjoyable and heartbreaking at the same time!
Thank you for this wonderful account of a family’s life, love for art and hate for each other that they let so much damage to occur
Not hate just the two sisters couldn't agree should they sell it or not.
I am so awestruck. This castle is truly a museum. There are so many things of extreme value, that there should be no arguing. There is enough to go around. Thank you so much for this truly epic explore. Stay safe, much love from WI in the USA.
The LV suitcase (depending on the yr & condition) is worth in upwards of $6000.00 (if its 1920's hardcase). Hoping the family gets it together & either secures the place or brings the contents to auction. I would have loved to see more of the paintings... close-up details, maybe looking for artist signatures, and showing us the backs... Amazing!
Удивительно, ладно хозяева исчезли.... А почему это заброшено. Как можно забросить такую красоту????? Спасибо большое за экскурсию!!!

This was absolutely a magnificent castle! Definitely was so worth it, millions of dollars in antiquities! The pictures, paintings the China just priceless! A total gem!!!❤️❤️❤️
Mold and rot aside. To see the condition the place is in, everything still in its rightful place, nothing has been moved. At first glance you would think the family had just gone out for the afternoon and would be back soon. Amazing.
Incredible how much beauty! I love the bronze statues, the chandeliers, Wow the armchairs, there must be descendants, you can see that it was a great family, someone alive must remain. Excellent
Thank you for letting us to hang around as you tour this exquisite Treasure. The paintings & Tapestries brought me back in time.
The older artwork should be at the Louvre. It's pieces of French History. It's unbelievable that wealthy families can be so greedy that they let family heirlooms waste away. That castle can be restored to it's former glory if someone would take the time to do it.
Exactly. A new or repaired roof and security would save it. Courts are useless. This should be law that the roof is repaired and pass inspection.
The problem is usually bankrolling the preservation and repairs. Even properties still owned by families, there just isn't enough money left. That's why so many beautiful estates in England are now wedding venues, museums, and bed and breakfasts.
The history needs to be maintained, not destroyed.
@@PatrickDKing that does at least stop them from rotting
How sad what greed can do....What a waste!!!
As a Collector of Art, I am VERY CURIOUS ABOUT THE PROVENCENCE OF THE ART WORK IN PARTICULAR.
Did it survive the Nazi Occupation and confiscation of Artworks, in WW11 and if so WHY ?? Is this estate being challenged on the grounds that the artworks were stolen and the ownership is being challenged ? TOO MANY QUESTIONS, AND NO ANSWERS......
For those of you NOT FAMILIAR with the world of Art, it is a Billion Dollar business riddled with Crime, and is just as organized as the Drug Cartels.
That is exactly what I was thinking.
Only national museum pieces were confiscated not household, they were less value that time a common pieces
I am totally amazed! It is said to make your treasures in Heaven. Words escape me. Again you have done a wonderful job in bringing a wonderful exploration for us to enjoy. Thanks Guys. Blessings from Florid, USA
Love your intro line in a monotone voice " I AM SO EXCITED...." REALLY YOUR VOICE IS HYPNOTIC A GIVEN QUALITY TO YOUR VIDEOS ! OOOOPS COULDN'T RESIST THAT ONE ! HAVE FUN FELLAS ! THANKS !
I hope that the family can reach an agreement and save 🙏 the family 👪 treasures. What a beautiful place 😍. I would hate to see 👀 this place go to ruin. This place is magical ✨😍. Stay safe 🙏❤💓💙
Good point. The family needs to solve this estate issue before this building, and it's contents go to waste.
This is the 1st video that I have watched of yours, but I quickly subscribed. As someone who doesn't believe in taking what is not mine, another part of me was hearing the treasures cry save me. They must have grown up with enormous wealth to deliberately squander the works of art. The who gets what fight when someone dies always saddens me, but this astounds me.
Wow, that was awesome! I have to admit, if I had been there I would have set the table for a tea party. The tea dishes were so beautiful
Hello Explomo ! You guys are really the best at showing these incredible Castles. Every episode is one of my favorites and I look forward to seeing. Its also depressing to see how much has been left to deteriorate. Thank you once again for another fantastic video.👍👍👍 💖💖💖
Wow-this is the crowning glory of the exploration world. But so much of this defies logic. The castle really does look totally curated, almost staged if you think about the antique gun on the desk, near a Bill Gates page that had been “perfectly” burnt in a antique ash tray? Was the castle used for a murder mystery?
The white chains perfectly scalloped in front of each door-again this was not a last minute discussion, like throwing up some rough barricades.
Why would the owner take such care to collect amazing art, yet not have a security system, or property manager?
These were smart people, it does not add up, and either does the mess in the attack, when the rest of the property is pristine. The obviously damaged paintings are getting worse by the day from the mold, birds and direct sunlight in the stair well.
When an estate of this nature is being negotiated, usually a court appoints a property manager to protect the assets. Those fighting over the contents would no doubt want them protected- unless the black mold turned this into a insurance deal- and the offspring only wants the cash, and could care less about the art? Let’s face it, that kind of black mold screams “knock down the castle”. Since you guys found out the property was in dispute, I hope you keep us updated and can answer some of these questions.
Thank you for this enchanting experience!
Truly such a beautiful mystery.
Spot on.....These folks don't miss a trick when it come to Money....they may well be sitting on mountains of cash in some Off Shore Bank Account. Looks like it will be A Hereditary Family Food Fight with Lawyers and Insurance Companies thrown into the mix'.....EAT THE RICH, THEY ARE TASTY🤣
Any update on who owns this property and it's contents?
Yes updates would be appreciated.
I literally watch your channel every single day just for curing my anxiety! Really appreciated for the works and the respect for le temps du passé🎉🎉❤
What a beautifull home it is.. You can still feel the presence of the people that once lived here?, the warmth of this home is still present.. I hope the family have saved it.. Amazing
Thank you for this extraordinary tour and for beinv so respectful of the property and it's rightful owners. I looked at antique church relics, figurines, etc. and some of the tiny figurines are worth several thousand dollars each, based on things I saw for sale online. I'm talking about the least expensive things that might be in there. The least the family could've done is secured the property and maintained it properly to prevent the destruction. They could've moved all the art into storage or auctioned off everything and split the proceeds. This is a travesty. What a magical castle.
You both did an excellent job showing the details and keeping the camera focused on the beautiful items in each room. Thank you so much for showing us all of these amazing places that we will never get to see other than by watching videos of the places you explore. I love how you describe things and try to give a back story for the priceless items. I’ve watched several of your explores and I’ve been so impressed by the respect you show the owner’s collections, always leaving everything as it was and never taking anything. This is one of your best explores! Loved every minute of it! Loved your accent too!
How can anyone just allow this place to go down like this. The family needs to stop fighting and take care of this property! What a real shame.
The opulence of this place is overwhelming! Thank you for taking us on this tour.
Hi both ,this was the most by far the best iv seen ,amazing beautiful,words can’t begin to say it’s breath taking ,thank you both for showing us ,we would never see any of these beautiful homes much lv Ann xxxx
You know we loved this one ! The family needs to get there head out there asses and save their inheritance or they won't have one.
You’re right. A couple of years and many of these won’t be saved.
Exactly. I dont feel sorry for them if the house is broken into eventually. They deserve it,. Shame on them for leaving all of that valuable family history to rot!
So beautiful and thank you for letting us explore it with you , please keep us posted what the outcome of this will be
Интересно посмотреть как жили французкие аристократы, и так печально осознавать, что ничего не вечно, все превратиться в прах. Надо это всем помнить.
Verdade
В прах превратилось потому что сионистами уничтожено дворянство, национальное сознание и самобытность. Потому практически правят Францией НЕ французы а Сионисты! Так же и в Германии, к тому же идёт и в России
The Chinese have a saying, you can't take anything with you when you die
One of the loveliest explores I have seen in a very long time. Heart breaking to see everything just sitting.
As an art collector that was difficult to watch but thanks for documenting an unfolding tragedy. That is a serious art collection that is going to ruin. Hopefully someone in that family can at least get the art off the walls and covered to protect from the mold damage.
How do you, as an art collector, amend the appreciation of the glory of the artist’s hand to the greed of a man who collects to collect and piles the work of the honorable passion and God-given talent with the horde of the taker? Even in the afterlife there is extreme consent to the one whose hand touches the stone, the log, the canvas, the beauty of the divine.
That would be nice. You'd think they'd care enough to protect it, since they're fighting over it. The AMAZING, gorgeous paintings, antiques, statues and frames . . . And that absolutely stunning dressing screen (that I would LOVE to own) . . . Wow!
@@ramonasmith257 - Everyone has to make money. That's how the real world works. Even the artists worked for money.
@@ramonasmith257 - I see you're one of those people who make a living off art.
And NO ONE knows what happens in the afterlife, or if there even IS one. You have a belief system, but that's it. Sure, you may think it's more; that doesn't make it so.
As a lover of history this was just heartbreaking.
Thank you for sharing with us this castle full of history. Truly it is like seeing the treasures frozen in time. I hope the family can come to an agreement and the art displayed in a museum before time without care will destroy the beautiful art work and furniture. You do a amazing job! With love from the USA.
I am so happy that this place was secured so that this stuff can be valued once again, unfortunately there are many places that are abonandened because people pass away and leave it to noone,and that's such a shame 💔
Wicked that while families fight over greed, an amazing house and art collection are put at risk. The bronze statue with the wings on his feet and helmet is thegod Mercury, the winged messenger. The British Army Royal Signals have him on their cap badge. Exceptional explore.
True
Wonder if there is a Will? Guess it doesn't matter. If the Will is protested. It is call probate court in the States. Cost a fortune and can take a long time to resolve. I know very little about French laws. Hope the family members settle before it falls apart. Such a beautiful place.
Also known as Hermes. I didn't know he went by Mercury until this post.Well never to old to learn new things.
The previous owner may have purchased it because Mercury is carrying the Cadeuseus - the symbol of modern medicine - since the owner was a Doctor.
Somebody please save all that beautiful art. Mold will be destroying them in no time.
Don’t worry! I’m on my way to France to save all these items and rehome them
I am ready too go.
39:42 I loved that beautiful painting, I wonder who its author would be
@@whatevermynameis2852 - I wish I could.
the statues too! (And that hand pistol if it's not too late)
As u always say, "AMAZING!" I kept wanting you to do a close up of the art, truely a museum!
Omgoodness, thank you so much for share. Tranquil, history delights, stuff dreams are made of. Hopefully stays comfortably preserved. Love
The first room upstairs that you say is a child’s bedroom with a small sleigh bed was a dressing room for the adjoining bedroom. Thus there are wardrobes followed by an adjoining bathroom. The “sleigh bed” is a settee or bench.
Yeah, these guys seem like typical millenials. If it happened before they were born or outside of their (pop) cultural experience, they know nothing. A "settee"? Never heard of it.
@@tampauser6879 " There are so many portraits on the walls" , and also " maritime portraits" (all paintings are portraits, wright ? ). Roman Mercury ( Greek god Hermes ) messenger for all the other gods is a "roman warrior", in his vision. I think you're wright, typical millenials
@@drahthaar4 Its not their fault that they're younger. At least they're respectful of the things they find.
@@troyrawlins8328 I don't fault them for being young, just for being totaly ignorant.
I love being able to watch this video, though I am also saddened by the possibility that videos such as this provide a proverbial shopping-list for thieves, making them aware. I hope this family comes to their senses soon, while the contents are still relatively untouched. As someone who has dabbled in antiques over the many years, I cannot even begin to imagine what the contents of this estate would be worth; especially with the possibility of valuable paintings/prints/etc. I've also noticed that there were some architectural details, removed from elsewhere, and unless there was some significance to them, I doubt that they would be displayed in such a fashion, within this collection. Great find, though I fear for the contents in the long term...
yes. it will be easy to find for someone familiar with the area.
On the other hand, it's a record of what's there and indisputable as to the owner if someonegets caught. But surely it's more of a risk to those who would take advantage of an estate left open.
The building aswell xx Hotel? Museum. Just not wasted.
I agree, I saw a cubist painting, I'm sure it's authentic. All these explorer videos smacks of trespassing to me.
I always admire in your videos how you treat the places you explore with reverence, dignity, and respect.
You are so pleasant & fun to watch 🤗
I applaud your respectfulness of the homes as well as the privacy of the former owners...it shows character as well as integrity.
I understand the house remaining dormant whilst the family dispute is being settled. What I don't understand is why it's not being secured during this time. Either way, great find and video.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for respecting the owners property! I’m sure they appreciate the care that your showings’ I pray the court gets the estate worked out so the family can Divide theses beautiful treasures up and someone could easily have It restored, maybe they could make a museum out of it; I just pray they do something fast so it doesn’t rot away or the elements don’t destroy it even more than it has already! The family needs to put their differences aside to save it and their family history!!
What I like about the places you and your brother explore, you are very mindful of the items and treat them with respect. Some other abandoned places are trashed, not so much in Europe, but, other places in the world! Love watching your videos!!😊🤗
Explomo you always do a wonderful job in presenting these videos. I admire that you set everything back in it's place. I watched another video on this place and noticed people are already taking thing's in between the two of your explorations. Such sadness because there truly is priceless artifacts and art there that need to be in museums.
Hi Mandi! Thank you sincerely for your shown admiration by commenting under our video :)
It really means a lot to me. Yes, we've seen this as well, but unfortunately not everybody has an attitude as respectful as mine, and some people like to take profit from such rare places for their own well-being. It is pathethic but inevitable as some adresses get exchanged between others... Luckily, I'm delighted to announce that most of the items and family relics have been saved by the legal inheritance a couple of weeks ago. The place is now empty and up for sale!
@@Explomo .....oh good
@@Explomo GREAT news!
This was incredibly beautiful. I hope someone will do something and save some of the art and antiques. I can't believe it's just sitting there and mold is in the castle. It makes me sad to see it all being neglected. Thank you Maureno for this amazing video and letting us explore with you. 💯💯💯💯💯💯😊❤
All of this is amazing

WOW!!! So Insane! I love antiques and this place is a Gold mine! Thanks for sharing this such a dirty shame and lose!!! So many valuable things sad 😔
Llevo dos días viendo tus documentales ,me gusta como narras y así como te emocionas de tanta belleza así yo cada grito que doy , me encanta ver este tipo de castillos me transportan a aquellos tiempo y me imagino la clase de gente que vivió ahí, mil gracias !!!
This is a beautiful property. I love it! However, that place is packed with mold. You're young and robust. It may not bother you now. But, I am concerned about your health long term. Wear masks or somehow protect your lungs! Not trying to be your parent. I just care.
I agree!
I agree, that's very dangerous to not at least have masks on.
It's good to have people who care . I'm glad you cared enough to tell them to be careful.
It is sad that people have to fight about owning things. Life is too short.
I agree! It’s just stuff!
Agree with you there.
Exactly! The must stop & think 🤔 the original owner had it & yet couldn’t take one piece of it with him. Family is our fortune.
At this point All should be sold & the money used for a worthy cause...such as feeding the hungry, helping the poor and sick. Much more satisfying. Some of those old looking stone or clay statues could very well be of museum quality (ancient) antiquities value.
The best castle you have ever shown. Magnificent!!!
Would love to see this one restored. So beautiful.
