Apparently the family who owned this château date back 900 years. There used to be a hunting lodge where the castle is today, using the original foundations. They used to regularly hunt then host big parties and magnificent meals in the banqueting room, where the table is 18th century which they still have the instructions to extend and shorten it depending on the amount of people they have to sit around the table. There is 25 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The 18th century tapestries are bespoke especially commissioned to depict their family life there. It was passed on to the last descendant of the family, an only child. The tapestries were hung on the walls to keep the château warm in winter. It was for sale in 2017 for £12 million /$16 million. Apparently there is only a handful of châteaux that have their own personal theatre.
@@tawandatracee8327 no problem, I love old buildings especially like this and i always wonder who used to live in them, so I like finding out the history if I can and I just thought I would share 😊
@@Meowlenn I did know the name but I didn't like to put it in the comments as I thought some people might have the idea to go there and maybe cause trouble /graffiti/ break things. I haven't got the info now so no I haven't, sorry.
It sure does deserve life and love, however large places like this require a lot of financial resources to maintain. Not forgetting to mention if it's a historical building, then there is a lot of red tape about what you can and can't do to it.
This is one of the most amazing places you guys have explored. It boggles one’s mind that this is “abandoned.” This place should host tours, the architecture and history are unmatched.
We have hundreds if not thousands of castles here in France , some that are museums, event halls , hotels , tour castles, and some who are still used by owners to live in and in different other ways …but unfortunately we can’t turn every castle in to something…there are to many castles ! And yes the bills , tax and especially maintenance fees are off the roof , which is why many castles are abandoned or/and fall into ruins !
@@OkayJournayDay As I said previously, there are a lot of castles in France ! The gouvernement have more imminent issues to deal with that they are failing to deal with ! Also , they might not be « paying » shit but even to use an old castle as a gouvernement hold has a maintenance cost which they would rather allocate the important castles which actually have historical and architectural significance and not every chateau in the entire country…they just can’t do it, protect all medieval architectural heritage because castles are a little bit like churches in France , there is more or less one per village ! The gouvernement would rather help maintain Royal and Important Noble houses then trying to maintain every little lord and knight’s little castle or secondary residence ! It might sound awful but it is realistically impossible for the French gouvernement to repurpose every castle ! Even the rich ass people can’t repurpose successfully every piece of medieval architecture especially those who are in the middle of nowhere, like the little ones you can find in little rural cities and villages can be taken care of by the collectivity but the medium sized ones that are in the middle of nowhere and are truly nothing special well they get purchased by rich people, or they get abandoned , cause owning a medieval castle is really , really expensive and if you don’t find a way to monetize it , you are doomed !
Even though we’re not there, but it’s like we get private tours from these amazing RUclipsrs that travel around the world for us. To show off these amazing undocumented places. Unique gems that’s for sure. 💙 we love you exploring with josh 🖤
All around the world 😂 bullshit. He only visited in US , japan and france. Majority of the countries don't have abandon places because of lot of population so new owners keep on coming
The library was like the treasure you all were hunting!! And ofcourse THE KING found it first!! 👑🤴 The castle is beautiful and the library is beyond beautiful 😍😍 This is by far my fav of the France series because of the library 📚
As an Oldie slowly studying Art History degree, who has a massive passion since a child of visiting Stately homes (UK, live in Scotland), who collects old books, volunteers in a Museum and does historical research for fun, I am having a meltdown watching this! lol Thanks Josh for an amazing amazing video - I need a glass of wine to calm down from the excitement ;)
You guys take someone like me, who will never get to those places, to some of the most incredible places in the world. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming!! ❤️
Fun fact…. In the old days the red design on the wallpaper in some rooms were made/colored with ox blod. Learned that from a historian at one of the many many castles here in Denmark. The color green had arsenic in it to make it brighter. It was used a lot in womens dresses and caused some to die because of it. Love the video🫶🏻
Your enthusiasm was contagious ❤ I totally saw this castle through the eyes of an explorer who had been searching his lifetime for it. It is a one of a kind bando. Fairytale beauty. Thanks for sharing this experience. 🙌 phenomenal 👏
Its too costly to maintain and upgrade, its cheaper and easier to move on and build aknew. Most folks could not afford to even heat a place like this, Disney could build 10 more and not blink an eye. Aritocraxies from the EU, Arab/Egyptian nations, and Asian nations.then they decided to create the last NWO in the 1700's after the mined as much of the natural resources as they could, and called it the USA. They built the train tracks long before for their mining and evenutual agriculture farms for cotton, corn, tobacco, potatoes, cattle, etc.
From the deer heads and number of bedrooms, this was likely an old hunting lodge for aristocracy-specifically built for massive hunting parties to come out and stay during the season-to hunt and relax and enjoy the countryside during the day and have entertainments in the evening like theatre and reading and play parlour games. They likely called the bedrooms by colour or the art that was in the room, like the blue room, the golden room, the Patridge room, the Peacock room etc.
Often times ‘salon’ in Europe and particularly France meant formal living room, it was a communal space where events were held. In reference to art history it evolved into the displaying of artwork for peers to see, almost like a gallery.
Amazing!!! Thank you for going to this location. Everyone should get a chance to see a piece of history and architecture like this and you guys are making it possible! Appreciate you Josh and the rest of the guys.
when they were in the blue room and josh said he wanted to cry, I was thinking the same thing before he said it. Im not there but by just watching it almost feels like im there and time has stopped, so amazing to see how things were centuries ago! 🤩
That is the most amazing building! all of the décor still intact and being so old was mind-blowing and the icing on the cake with that library I really wish I could see it in person!
Had to laugh at the beginning that you were using the Disney font. Nice touch. See you changed waisted to wasted as well. I so love your enthusiasm on your explores!!!! This was a beautiful find. Excessive but beautiful. And of course, you were with Seth, Dave, and Dan, making it that much more special!!! Thank you for sharing. 🏰
i love how it looks. you can still feel the grandeur and i couldn’t help but think what it would be like to see it in its hay day. servants tending to the ladies and gents, the children along the foyer and how magnificent the banquets hosted must’ve been. hopefully one day it can be restored to its former glory. it’s too beautiful to let rot forever
The Chateau de Perigord, the one in the small painting early on, is in another location and is much larger and has the round towers. The architect you speak of was Viollet le Duc. I don't recognize the castle in this video. But, very enjoyable video. You've found some real winners lately. Thanks!
When I get older mark my words im gonna buy this and keep this beautiful place intact with all the history.Ugh I just love stuff like this. Thank you josh for letting us experience this with you.
Woow Josh, I am still speechless after having watched this video about that beautiful abandoned château in France! Your enthusiasm is always so contagious! Absolutely wonderful location with still most of the rooms in an original well preserved state! - Hopefully it does not get vandalized ever! - The rooms were so filled with the atmosphere of the life back in the active days of this place. - Wonderful bedrooms in different colour schemes with furniture and decorative items matching perfectly together. - And my three favourite rooms were the theatre room, the grand dining hall and - of course also the breathtaking library. Wonderful! - I think I saw at least one of my explorer friends (from Bros of Decay and Explomo) also in that castle, which is amazing to see from the outside as well! Thank you so much, dear Josh, for taking us viewers on this wonderful and fascinating tour through that fairy tale like château! I enjoyed every second of your explore video! - Stay safe, peace and kindest regards from sunny Switzerland.
If I could do this all the time, I definitely would. The history and architecture of these homes is amazing. It’s like stepping back in time and it makes me so happy 🙂
Hi, Josh ! ~ This France series is amazing. I knew that we had in France magnificent and beautiful abandoned place, but not such amazing place like this. This castle is incredible and I’m happy to see that the castle seems to not be vandalised. To find always these incredible objects and photos almost intact, it’s really cool. Thank you for sharing with us such places, always be careful. I dream to explore with you guys, it seems to be an amazing experience.
Loved this video. Just seeing everything all the furnishings and rooms and just imagining how things looked and worked before long long ago. Its a shame that such a magnificent place is abandoned. Awesome explore Josh. Stay safe.
Such a gorgeous place! Thank you for showing it to us! I sincerely hope that someone gives this place the love, attention, and care it deserves and opens it up for others to see!
And back in the day when they built a house like this they had art commissioned for the walls and custom furniture for every room in the house. Amazing stuff the amount of wealth some families possessed. I can comment all day about everything. This place is something else. You'll never forget this place for sure
I love watching these videos it feels like I'm actually there. I hope I get a chance to explore more abandoned places in the future. Each room in this castle is so beautifully designed. The all blue painting was very unique. Great video!🙂
Anyone else see that possible shadow figure at 8:51 when josh has the camera pointed at the doorway!? It’s right before the scene cuts but it’s very fast almost liked it’s just gliding so you gotta really be looking and have your brightness up :)
The whole place was absolutely beautiful but I think my favourite has to be that blue & white room, wow how stunning and unique was that 😍Thankyou so much I enjoyed this one so much!
This place is so hauntingly beautiful. An amazing history with so many historic items left behind. The individual rooms are stunning. More of these please Josh x
I loved this video. The history, the architecture, paintings and fabrics. Just incredible 😍 So well preserved. I wish ppl would leave abandoned places like this. Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us.
Hey Josh, my God that place is magnificent! I've been watching you for years now and I am quite certain this is my absolute favorite place that you have explored. I am so glad to see that nobody has tagged nor trashed it. It breaks my heart when people (idiots) destroy an abandoned location much less a beautiful castle like this one. I look forward to the upcoming vids in this series. Stay safe and be wise. 😇
Wow. I'm in awe of such a wonderful, beautiful, majestic, breath taking place such as this home\castle. Its hard to believe that such a place as this still exists, abandoned. It should b preserved for all to visit & see & admire. It had to of been a happy place to live in such beauty. Josh, I loved seeing how in awe u were with each room u explored & how your enthusiasm & excitement grew...yet u spoke with a reverence that I'm sure u couldn't help but feel. My dream has always been to see a Castle someday. But i pictured it differently. More medieval. This place is now what i will picture in my mind as Castle & a home. Thank u Josh & friends, for taking us all to a once in a lifetime unbelievable place, we won't soon forget. Love u guys & always stay safe 💖
I have no words.. is this place going to be saved? What an incredible location. I was happy to see some very modern stuff as well, it means someone comes there on a somewhat regular basis. What an utter gem this one 💜💜💜💜💜
Hey Josh, always exciting when I see a new video post. All these places you explore are absolutely amazing and deserve to not be forgotten. And by you going and showing us all these places keeps them alive. Awesome job dude. Amazing. Always looking forward to the next adventure. Take care dude 😊👊
Josh that video made me smile, laugh and cry not only at the sheer beauty but how happy it made you. I loved it when you found the library and hollered YES,YES,YES. That was an epic video and I cannot wait until the next video.
This is a gorgeous place. I would absolutely be taken away by seeing it in person. You being so excited about it was absolutely wonderful. It’s videos like this that we get to see how truly passionate you are about exploring these places. I hope you get to return here as many times as you want.
Love love this video Josh the castle was extraordinary the artwork, architecture, paintings and bedrooms were so beautiful. Love how you got so excited when you found the library thank you for another fantastic explore 🫶🏼❤️
Josh, "salon" is French for living room. (Lol I cringed every time you said it! I'm like: it's French, Josh, not English) THIS may well be my favorite explore. It gave me SO much emotion! 💕
Interesting how us English have made that word something completely different in our language, so technical translations would be ‘beauty living room’ ‘nail living room’ ‘hair living room’ etc.😂sounds a bit weird like that, but I guess that’s what these terms really mean 🤷🏼♀️
@@RealMerryMary TRUE! 😂 I guess somewhere along the way, brainstormers said "we must charge ridiculous amounts of money for things people can do at home BUT make them feel at home by calling it a living room AND we can make people feel posh by calling it a french living room! (Lol I bet that's exactly how it went down)

How do you feel about the after life? I've watched this video over again. I feel that i've been there.. the library.. the ladder was on the other side of the room when you walk in and there was alot of water on the floor flooding and we were trying to save the books. The blue room felt like i might have spent alot of time looking out the same window, as for the rest it all feels so homesick! Thank You For A Piece of Memory..... Even though long before my time....... even the "bath rooms" Well DONE!!! I Wanted To Cry!!!
Unbelievably pristine time capsule-not much decay, like an enchanted castle… and how about that amazing library?? For sure, Josh found it first! Thx for sharing a magical adventure 🇫🇷
This video was sickk, every room was a gem! Great explore! Definitely oldschool exploring vibes in this one. and even replicas of this era clothing is expensive as hell, I couldn't imagine the price of genuine like Victorian era clothing
Wow this is amazing josh I am in awe with these places . This castle one and the Philippine castle are my top favorite so far, also that wine left behind I bet that sure is yummy today!
How did you not cry exploring this place? Lol like it's so damn beautiful. Watching this made me feel like I was reading a book and following and story. The artwork, the architecture- it's preserved so well. I'd haunt this place 😂
I wish places like these would get owned. In england we have national trust who take places like these and keep them nice and open for tourists. I wish this could happen for this amazing building
Mr.Ralph Gauntlett in Bermuda. I have done my research this abandoned chateau in France is called Chateau De Fayolle a Tocane Saint Apre. It seems this abandoned chateau is for sale. This chateau is located in southern France.
I really want to see every book digitized for preservation in these abandoned places. Even if their just copies of already scanned books. Having them preserved as a digital accessible library through the Internet Archive would be AMAZING.
Awesome video josh my partner would of loved this but is no longer with us unfortunately she took her life a week ago due to mental illness havent been myself since but seeing this video tonight has given me that extra bit of light i needed to see thanks again buddy awesome job
Josh love the castle so beautiful and amazing you always have amazing videos always enjoy your videos. I share your video with my husband stay safe and stay strong.
Dude I just thought of a awesome idea, y’all should spend the night in there, use the old kitchen how ever you can knowing that there is no power, eat at the big table, I bet it would be awesome to eat at the table where I bet the pope ate at, this place would be so awesome to stay for a night, think of all the possibilities, you can dig deeper into finding more secret doors and really check things out on a deeper level, but you have to bring us along so we can be a part of it through video 🤩
This was the best video of your channel. I have been watching you since your first exploration video, it's been so many years. I don't even comment (maybe once or twice at the beggining), but man....this was just....pure gold.
😇💜 Hi Josh, Thank YOU for sharing this adventure with us. I can't believe that this is abandoned, and hopefully they do something to preserve the history of this place. Also it was nice to not see any graffiti, and that the furniture wasn't tossed about !!!💜 Thank YOU again, and I APPRECIATE your HARD work !!!🤗💜💜💜
Walls used to be covered with batting and fabric, usually a damask or a mohair tracing back to traditions of full wall tapestries and silk wall hangings of nobility. The fabric served the purpose of helping to insulate rooms in addition to being a show of grandeur. Additionally, that small room would have likely been a maid's room of a sort, whether it was a tutor, a lady in waiting, or a nursemaid who needed to be close to their charge. The small room with the bottles would likely have been an alchemy or apothecary space, an in home doctor could tend to an elderly resident without having to leave. Or if somebody of the home was in to photography or science, it could have been a lab sort of space.
Omg...This made me cry seriously lol I am a vintage book collector and I bind my own handmade books...What I wouldn't give to just step foot in that library and see the books first hand AMAZING..AMAZING!!!
Wow!! Just WOW! What an exceptional find. An absolute gem. Probably the best yet. I loved this, and the excitement on your face when your discovered the library. So cool, thankyou for sharing and taking us all inside to explore with you. Again, the four of your are the best. Thanks Josh :)
I remember as a child, exploring a new house I moved into, was a new adventure, Josh takes exploring to an entirely new level, and it's magnificent! Love the videos Josh! Fan for life!
that blue room at 13.16 I'd do my bedroom like it now if I could , it's gorgeous and just like it was done yesterday it's just so perfect. I could gladly move into that castle now and not change anything xx
At first, I thought the room in the servant's quarters with the bottles was like an in-home apothecary; a lot of those bottles are compounds that can be used medicinally. At the same time, though, it could also be a supply closet since some of those (including the poisonous one) are proper cleaning products, too, and it would seem illogical to keep medicinal things with another clearly labeled as toxic.
I don't understand why the country leaves such historical places abandoned? Why not turn it into a museum? I mean the library by itself os literally treasure
It was meticulously maintained until around 2017. So sad it didn't sell. I can't confirm, but I believe the owner died, and she was the sole heir. It was $16 million US. 25 bedrooms on 12 acres with new stables 😢
Those beds are hella crazy expensive nowadays you can't even get your hands on them you have to physically buy them and they're still so expensive to the point where when they auction them off it goes for over $1,000 just for a piece of it!
I can read the small book because I'm french and from France. It's talking about Geometry and Maths. they are trying to calcule something. The products you find are little dangerous if you don't know how to use it. I follow many french youtuber who do the same job like you but i can confirm you that i never seen this castle before. No one knows this one yet. I hope that if you stay many days in france you can explore more beautiful building because here, we have a loooooooooooot. You are in france and your french fans don't know ah ah... maybe i'm not the only one who want met you one day.
I love this video that castle is so beautiful omg it’s breathtaking everything is untouched it’s so amazing thanks for posting this video your channel is the best love you exploring with josh keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved this video & I'm glad there are people out here who still respect, admire, & appreciate the amazing beauty the past offers us to witness in a different timeline.😊
The main hall is almost identical to the palace in Resident Evil Code Veronica. Same with the bedrooms with those tiny stairs. I wonder if this place was the inspiration behind the games locations. Either way, GREAT explore Josh!
This castle is awesome! I couldn't imagen going to the outhouse middle of the night (when they didn't have bathrooms) back in those days. I sure hope this place could be saved. I have notices from your channel and Bros of Decay the abandoned places don't have lot of graffiti (like here in America does). Gives me an idea to do a castle build in the sims 4. :) The library is my fave. The dining room I could feel and picture family/friends sitting and eating in there or have meetings.
No outhouse! These are super rich people, not ma and pa ingalls. They peed in a porcelain pot (I mean, assuming they aren’t disgusting, but who knows?)? The chamber maid would take out in the morning. Urine was often collected as it becomes ammonia, which is super useful and there haven’t always been Duponts around to make industrial chemicals. Even feces can become agricultural fertilizer, if it’s left for a long time.
9:29 that's an Inkwell stand desk set, 10:39 could be kiln-fired clay Pendants & Buttons, 36:16 Bernard Hepton? What a glorious find. That was spectacular.
Absolutely Awesome & Amazing! SO Beautiful! The library was "Outstanding" and the Best last super Find! Thanks So Much for Sharing Your Video! Loved It!

This castle is incredible and I’m happy to see that the castle seems to not be vandalised. To find always these incredible objects and photos almost intact, it’s really cool. Thank you for sharing with us such places, always be careful. I dream to explore with you guys, it seems to be an amazing experience.
Loved this video. Just seeing everything all the furnishings and rooms and just imagining how things looked and worked before long long ago. Its a shame that such a magnificent place is abandoned. Awesome explore Josh. Stay safe.
INCREDIBLE place. Can't believe something so good be abandoned like that. Very sad waste...
Such a gorgeous place! Thank you for showing it to us! I sincerely hope that someone gives this place the love, attention, and care it deserves and opens it up for others to see!
And back in the day when they built a house like this they had art commissioned for the walls and custom furniture for every room in the house. Amazing stuff the amount of wealth some families possessed. I can comment all day about everything. This place is something else. You'll never forget this place for sure
Josh, I love castles! This video was sick, especially the library, and congrats on finding it first! Be safe, peace, and thanks for sharing!
I love watching these videos it feels like I'm actually there. I hope I get a chance to explore more abandoned places in the future. Each room in this castle is so beautifully designed. The all blue painting was very unique. Great video!🙂
It's so sad to see such a beautiful place like this abandoned and not lived in.
Anyone else see that possible shadow figure at 8:51 when josh has the camera pointed at the doorway!? It’s right before the scene cuts but it’s very fast almost liked it’s just gliding so you gotta really be looking and have your brightness up :)
I think it was someone else in his group going in there
The whole place was absolutely beautiful but I think my favourite has to be that blue & white room, wow how stunning and unique was that 😍Thankyou so much I enjoyed this one so much!
This place is so hauntingly beautiful. An amazing history with so many historic items left behind. The individual rooms are stunning. More of these please Josh x
I loved this video. The history, the architecture, paintings and fabrics. Just incredible 😍 So well preserved. I wish ppl would leave abandoned places like this. Thank you for sharing this amazing place with us.
This castle was an awesome explore. I've always had a thing for castles. Thanks Josh for bringing us into another world!
The architecture and high ceilings are so beautiful and I can't believe they just left all the furnishings inside that's insane.
Hey Josh, my God that place is magnificent! I've been watching you for years now and I am quite certain this is my absolute favorite place that you have explored.
I am so glad to see that nobody has tagged nor trashed it. It breaks my heart when people (idiots) destroy an abandoned location much less a beautiful castle like this one.
I look forward to the upcoming vids in this series. Stay safe and be wise. 😇
I'm speachless the shear beauty of the place and the biggest thing it's not vandalized. wish people in the state would leave stuff alone like this
Wow. I'm in awe of such a wonderful, beautiful, majestic, breath taking place such as this home\castle. Its hard to believe that such a place as this still exists, abandoned. It should b preserved for all to visit & see & admire. It had to of been a happy place to live in such beauty. Josh, I loved seeing how in awe u were with each room u explored & how your enthusiasm & excitement grew...yet u spoke with a reverence that I'm sure u couldn't help but feel.
My dream has always been to see a Castle someday. But i pictured it differently. More medieval. This place is now what i will picture in my mind as Castle & a home. Thank u Josh & friends, for taking us all to a once in a lifetime unbelievable place, we won't soon forget. Love u guys & always stay safe 💖
I have no words.. is this place going to be saved? What an incredible location. I was happy to see some very modern stuff as well, it means someone comes there on a somewhat regular basis. What an utter gem this one 💜💜💜💜💜
Hey Josh, always exciting when I see a new video post. All these places you explore are absolutely amazing and deserve to not be forgotten. And by you going and showing us all these places keeps them alive. Awesome job dude. Amazing. Always looking forward to the next adventure. Take care dude 😊👊
I love these historical videos that are this well preserved! That place is absolutely breathtaking!
these abandoned castles are absolutely amazing to watch! its like a whole museum! so beautiful!
Josh that video made me smile, laugh and cry not only at the sheer beauty but how happy it made you. I loved it when you found the library and hollered YES,YES,YES. That was an epic video and I cannot wait until the next video.
This is a gorgeous place. I would absolutely be taken away by seeing it in person. You being so excited about it was absolutely wonderful. It’s videos like this that we get to see how truly passionate you are about exploring these places. I hope you get to return here as many times as you want.
So good! 😮just now watching this one! That would be a dream of mine to see! The amount of history in that place is amazing 😊🎉!! Great video guys!!
Love love this video Josh the castle was extraordinary the artwork, architecture, paintings and bedrooms were so beautiful. Love how you got so excited when you found the library thank you for another fantastic explore 🫶🏼❤️
Wow! This place is gorgeous & full of beautiful treasures. Thank you Josh for taking us along with you! 👍👍Thank you! Thank you!👍👍💙💜💙💜💙💜
This has to be the BEST abandoned location I’ve seen on your channel dude! Love it and the respect y’all show the property.
Josh, "salon" is French for living room. (Lol I cringed every time you said it! I'm like: it's French, Josh, not English) THIS may well be my favorite explore. It gave me SO much emotion! 💕
Interesting how us English have made that word something completely different in our language, so technical translations would be ‘beauty living room’ ‘nail living room’ ‘hair living room’ etc.😂sounds a bit weird like that, but I guess that’s what these terms really mean 🤷🏼♀️
@@RealMerryMary TRUE! 😂 I guess somewhere along the way, brainstormers said "we must charge ridiculous amounts of money for things people can do at home BUT make them feel at home by calling it a living room AND we can make people feel posh by calling it a french living room! (Lol I bet that's exactly how it went down)

Ohh josh can u see me?
How do you feel about the after life? I've watched this video over again. I feel that i've been there.. the library.. the ladder was on the other side of the room when you walk in and there was alot of water on the floor flooding and we were trying to save the books.
The blue room felt like i might have spent alot of time looking out the same window, as for the rest it all feels so homesick! Thank You For A Piece of Memory..... Even though long before my time....... even the "bath rooms" Well DONE!!! I Wanted To Cry!!!
Absolutely amazing!! Such a beautiful place!! The library was like a dream!! I would love to have a library like that!! Awesome video Josh!!
Unbelievably pristine time capsule-not much decay, like an enchanted castle… and how about that amazing library?? For sure, Josh found it first! Thx for sharing a magical adventure 🇫🇷
Easily one of my favorites from you. Amazing finds!! The blue room totally reminds me of playing Sims lol. Keep up the great work!
I so want to explore with you. I just love history standing in time.
This video was sickk, every room was a gem! Great explore! Definitely oldschool exploring vibes in this one. and even replicas of this era clothing is expensive as hell, I couldn't imagine the price of genuine like Victorian era clothing
Wow this is amazing josh I am in awe with these places . This castle one and the Philippine castle are my top favorite so far, also that wine left behind I bet that sure is yummy today!
How did you not cry exploring this place? Lol like it's so damn beautiful. Watching this made me feel like I was reading a book and following and story. The artwork, the architecture- it's preserved so well.
I'd haunt this place 😂
Awesome explore man! This place was like a museum!!
I wish places like these would get owned. In england we have national trust who take places like these and keep them nice and open for tourists. I wish this could happen for this amazing building
Mr.Ralph Gauntlett in Bermuda. I have done my research this abandoned chateau in France is called Chateau De Fayolle a Tocane Saint Apre. It seems this abandoned chateau is for sale. This chateau is located in southern France.
I really want to see every book digitized for preservation in these abandoned places. Even if their just copies of already scanned books. Having them preserved as a digital accessible library through the Internet Archive would be AMAZING.
omg. Just wow.... You must feel so blessed to do what you do. I feel blessed to be able to see and share in your expereiences. Thank you as always! :)
Awesome video josh my partner would of loved this but is no longer with us unfortunately she took her life a week ago due to mental illness havent been myself since but seeing this video tonight has given me that extra bit of light i needed to see thanks again buddy awesome job
They should make a museum out of this castle. Such a shame… 😢
Josh love the castle so beautiful and amazing you always have amazing videos always enjoy your videos. I share your video with my husband stay safe and stay strong.
Dude I just thought of a awesome idea, y’all should spend the night in there, use the old kitchen how ever you can knowing that there is no power, eat at the big table, I bet it would be awesome to eat at the table where I bet the pope ate at, this place would be so awesome to stay for a night, think of all the possibilities, you can dig deeper into finding more secret doors and really check things out on a deeper level, but you have to bring us along so we can be a part of it through video 🤩
This was the best video of your channel. I have been watching you since your first exploration video, it's been so many years. I don't even comment (maybe once or twice at the beggining), but man....this was just....pure gold.
This place is beautiful! I didn’t want it to end! I wanted to see you go through everything. Absolutely stunning
😇💜 Hi Josh, Thank YOU for sharing this adventure with us.
I can't believe that this is abandoned, and hopefully they do something to preserve the history of this place. Also it was nice to not see any graffiti, and that the furniture wasn't tossed about !!!💜
Thank YOU again, and I APPRECIATE your HARD work !!!🤗💜💜💜
I’m loving hearing your excitement in your voice as you look around this beautiful mansion!
Walls used to be covered with batting and fabric, usually a damask or a mohair tracing back to traditions of full wall tapestries and silk wall hangings of nobility. The fabric served the purpose of helping to insulate rooms in addition to being a show of grandeur. Additionally, that small room would have likely been a maid's room of a sort, whether it was a tutor, a lady in waiting, or a nursemaid who needed to be close to their charge. The small room with the bottles would likely have been an alchemy or apothecary space, an in home doctor could tend to an elderly resident without having to leave. Or if somebody of the home was in to photography or science, it could have been a lab sort of space.
This entire video was absolutely phenomenal Josh,best abandoned mansion video I have ever seen!!!
Omg...This made me cry seriously lol I am a vintage book collector and I bind my own handmade books...What I wouldn't give to just step foot in that library and see the books first hand AMAZING..AMAZING!!!
Wow!! Just WOW! What an exceptional find. An absolute gem. Probably the best yet. I loved this, and the excitement on your face when your discovered the library. So cool, thankyou for sharing and taking us all inside to explore with you. Again, the four of your are the best. Thanks Josh :)
It always boggles my mind that someplace like this is abandoned! Thanks for taking us along 😍
I remember as a child, exploring a new house I moved into, was a new adventure, Josh takes exploring to an entirely new level, and it's magnificent! Love the videos Josh! Fan for life!
that blue room at 13.16 I'd do my bedroom like it now if I could , it's gorgeous and just like it was done yesterday it's just so perfect. I could gladly move into that castle now and not change anything xx
Good to not travel alone either Josh was smart to bring people to explore with safer that way too
At first, I thought the room in the servant's quarters with the bottles was like an in-home apothecary; a lot of those bottles are compounds that can be used medicinally. At the same time, though, it could also be a supply closet since some of those (including the poisonous one) are proper cleaning products, too, and it would seem illogical to keep medicinal things with another clearly labeled as toxic.
This video is one of your top 10!!! What an amazing place. Thank you for sharing it with us!💕💕💕
I got so excited when u found the library and u looked so delighted!! u're precious, Josh!
I don't understand why the country leaves such historical places abandoned? Why not turn it into a museum? I mean the library by itself os literally treasure
It was meticulously maintained until around 2017. So sad it didn't sell. I can't confirm, but I believe the owner died, and she was the sole heir. It was $16 million US. 25 bedrooms on 12 acres with new stables 😢
This is UNREAL! Gorgeous and I am dying to get my hands on all those historical documents in the office/library!
I sure hope that this place gets restored, i bet it was beautiful back in the day. Thankyou Josh your channel is literally the best 🙂👍
Wow! So beautiful. Sensory overload .
Your so lucky to get to visit these places Josh.
They need to get some art restorers in there ASAP.
Incredible. I would have had to try some of those keys on the locked doors!
Those beds are hella crazy expensive nowadays you can't even get your hands on them you have to physically buy them and they're still so expensive to the point where when they auction them off it goes for over $1,000 just for a piece of it!
I just imagined those kids that lived there, running and saying "papah" tgat's beautiful loved it.
I can read the small book because I'm french and from France. It's talking about Geometry and Maths. they are trying to calcule something. The products you find are little dangerous if you don't know how to use it.
I follow many french youtuber who do the same job like you but i can confirm you that i never seen this castle before. No one knows this one yet. I hope that if you stay many days in france you can explore more beautiful building because here, we have a loooooooooooot. You are in france and your french fans don't know ah ah... maybe i'm not the only one who want met you one day.
I love this video that castle is so beautiful omg it’s breathtaking everything is untouched it’s so amazing thanks for posting this video your channel is the best love you exploring with josh keep up the good work ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
i hope it gets restored what a lovely place ,full of original ,wallpaper ,fabrics etc thanxs for posting x
Loved this video & I'm glad there are people out here who still respect, admire, & appreciate the amazing beauty the past offers us to witness in a different timeline.😊
The main hall is almost identical to the palace in Resident Evil Code Veronica. Same with the bedrooms with those tiny stairs. I wonder if this place was the inspiration behind the games locations. Either way, GREAT explore Josh!
This castle is awesome! I couldn't imagen going to the outhouse middle of the night (when they didn't have bathrooms) back in those days. I sure hope this place could be saved. I have notices from your channel and Bros of Decay the abandoned places don't have lot of graffiti (like here in America does). Gives me an idea to do a castle build in the sims 4. :) The library is my fave. The dining room I could feel and picture family/friends sitting and eating in there or have meetings.
They probably used chamber pots, not outhouses.
the place name?
No outhouse! These are super rich people, not ma and pa ingalls. They peed in a porcelain pot (I mean, assuming they aren’t disgusting, but who knows?)? The chamber maid would take out in the morning. Urine was often collected as it becomes ammonia, which is super useful and there haven’t always been Duponts around to make industrial chemicals. Even feces can become agricultural fertilizer, if it’s left for a long time.
9:29 that's an Inkwell stand desk set, 10:39 could be kiln-fired clay Pendants & Buttons, 36:16 Bernard Hepton? What a glorious find. That was spectacular.
Absolutely Awesome & Amazing! SO Beautiful! The library was "Outstanding" and the Best last super Find! Thanks So Much for Sharing Your Video! Loved It!
