STORY
Prepare to be captivated as we transport you to a remote and secluded corner of France, where a mystical Manor stands proudly amidst the embrace of a vast nature reserve. This enchanting estate, once the cherished home of the esteemed Travers family, holds a rich tapestry of history and intrigue.
Dating back to 1815, the French government bestowed upon the Travers family the solemn responsibility of safeguarding the neighboring nature reserve, solidifying their noble status. Through generations of astute horse trading, their wealth flourished, and their reputation reverberated across the lands of Europe.
Philippe and Marie, the beating heart and soul of this grand estate, imbued the manor with life, love, and laughter. However, in the year 2005, fate delivered a crushing blow, forever altering the harmonious existence that had flourished within these hallowed halls. Marie, valiantly battling breast cancer, succumbed to its relentless grip, and within a mere few months, Philippe, shattered by grief, bid his farewell to the world.
Though the descendants of the Travers family reside within close proximity, their connection to the manor seems to wane, their interest gradually diminishing. The once resplendent rooms, adorned with opulence, and the sprawling grounds, now embraced by nature's gentle embrace, together create an ambiance of serenity, a poignant contrast to the vibrancy that once coursed through its veins.
Yet, even in its forsaken state, the manor reverberates with whispers of its former glory. The exquisite intricacies of the carved embellishments, the crackling grand fireplace that has witnessed countless tales, and the opulent ceilings, each a canvas for artistry and splendor, all serve as silent witnesses to a bygone era of love and opulence. These stories, once vibrant and alive, now lie captive within the walls, yearning to be set free.
Standing in solitary splendor, the manor guards its secrets, their allure growing with the passing of each day. Why has the Travers family turned away from this grand abode, leaving it to the embrace of time?
Today, we embark on an extraordinary quest, venturing deep within the manor's hallowed halls to resurrect the forgotten tales of the Travers family's past lives. Prepare to be transported to an era of elegance and mystery as we unravel the enigmatic tapestry that weaves its way through this remarkable estate. Subscribe now and be a part of this mesmerizing journey of discovery!

For the life of me I can't understand how people can let such beautiful antiques and estates just go to waste. Such a tragic shame . Great job as always guys.
Takes a huge amount of money to keep them up. The families can’t afford the tax burden and let them go and the govt have too many to take care of.
@@marietteestabrook4098 this is interesting
@@marietteestabrook4098 Possibly too fighting over the estate.
Is this the First Abandonned House Video You watched?
Everytime the same question...🙄
It all boils down to money. Heating a home like this is on the extreme side, upkeep and so on. Watch some of the chateau renovations. It’s interesting.
Es bricht mir das Herz wenn ich all die Schätze sehe die hier langsam vermodern. Danke dass Du ihnen noch ein letztes Mal eine Bühne geboten hast. 👏
Powinno się pozwolić komuś kupić ten zameczek i przy wsparciu finansowym państwa odrestaurować by służył innych za piątkę po czasach minionych.
Jak widać, wszystko przemija, ludzie odchodzą a wszystko po nich zostaje, wszystko co kochali, o co zbiegali całe życie, pamiątki, bibeloty, przedmioty codziennego użytku, ubrania.
To pokazuje, że wszystko przemija, pozostaje pustka o tych co odeszli i trochę rzeczy.
@Bros of Decay : When I was sick all week, all I did was laying down and watching every single episode you made . From story telling with such soft voice to how it is filmed with each detail , each episode teaches us how much we should appreciate the time we have with our loved ones and cherish every second of it.
@aaron___6014 I have been watching the episodes already before I got sick. So when I got sick I happened to watch the rest of them. Of course I don't remember each some run while I slept so watching those again. I can say I am a huge fan of this channel.
@@peacesuneda You took the words out of my mouth. 👨👩👧👦❤
And, yes, I did it once.(I don't watch TV anymore) It was like being in a trance, beautiful. 🤍
Danke Bros für die interessant vdo ❤❤❤❤

Es macht einem die eigene Vergänglichkeit bewusst. Alle Dinge die man selbst geliebt hat bleiben zurück und werden nicht mehr geschätzt. Vergessen...
I love watching you. You are such an old soul when you go through those places.
I agree with you. I wonder if you, Leslie ever run into Ghosts??
39:49 The wooden carved car would be called book ends. They are normally a pair of 2. Books were placed between them to prevent them from falling over.
That bedroom suite was knocked out! Gorgeous vanity, and that wasn’t a footstool, it was a stool for sitting. But that bedroom furniture, oh my goodness how beautiful! It really should be rescued. How sad all this is just being taken by the loneliness of passing time.
That hat for horse riding is a dressage hat. I wonder if the coat and jodhpurs were in a closet somewhere . . .
Porcelain doorknobs
35:26 That’s a bookend, my friend.
Lovely house in a lovely setting. Thank you so much, Lesley! You take us to the best places. I really can’t thank you enough for what you do. You are so very kind too.
Loved the video. I'm curious as to why explorers don't close the windows or shutters to prevent further decay.
That’s how these people get in, at least that’s my guess.
True. But they can still close the windows and shutters. Ugh
It’s always amazing that the the beautiful houses are left to rot! Thanks for another great tour!
@@Jenn-io3it leave everything except your footprints! Rule number one when exploring. Just leave everything as it is.
When a house is closed up it decays quicker . So the best way to preserve it is to keep it open. Cause heat can cause quicker decomposition .
Love the architecture! So sad that it's just rotting away, and is being forgotten.
Lesley, thank you for sharing this video. Everything is so intact and so many personal items left behind by the family. I love how the house has not been desecrated by anyone including you and your colleague. Even the alcohol!
I love old architecture and this is one of my favourites. It is half timber framing common throughout Western Europe but mostly Switzerland, Germany and
North Eastern France in the Alsace-Lorraine region. There is a variant of the architecture in the UK that is called the Tudor period around the last of the Tudor kingdom reign of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. Beautiful Castles, Chateau’s and Manors still survive well today because of this sturdy design. The filler in between the timber frames is called “wattle and daub” it is a woven framework of twigs or sticks that fits between the timbers, and a mixture of wet soil, clay, sand, animal dung and straw, that is mucked into the framework and settles as a thick dense wall. It is sealed with a whitewash. One of the oldest structural designs, it has been around for 6000 yrs. This castle in the forest may be older than it appears. The material in the foundation is the clue.
Inside the house is a treasure trove of many finishes and furnishings that reveal the wealth of this family. First of all, the finish carpentry and interior trim is of Belgian walnut. I also see European beech wood and European oak. The large ornately carved dining room hutch is Belgian walnut and the ornately carved chairs are Asian mahogany carved or commissioned in France. The furniture and artifacts are probably as valuable as 10% of the home. Such a treat to see!
If their ghosts are hanging around, they’re probably getting a good giggle out of your respectful but imaginative depiction of their lives.
I love it. Love your tours.
Indeed, we do

You are the best in what you are doing. Love your comments, voice, and attention to details.
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment 🥰
Soo many abandoned places where the kids do nothing with the property after parents pass away. Sell the land and furniture. So strange they leave personal pictures and belongings
I can understand why families may abandon huge properties due to the cost of upkeep. What i dont understand why they leave the furniture, art, etc. At the very least, they could salvage those and sell them, instead of letting them go to ruin.
What a nice place! The bed and the dressing table in the bedroom are exquisite! The fog and the landscape make it all seem a dream! Thank you for this interesting exploration!
Lesley, thank you for allowing us to explore with you virtually.
So beautiful but so so sad. I cant ever understand how the kids dont go back for the memories. Thank you so very much, from Texas.
This place and its contents should be preserved as a national treasure with security as live in paid for by the public purse. It's an absolute treasure.
So true! Just goes to show how people just don’t care. Very sad.
It is not that people don’t care, nor that they leave it abandoned. This place isn’t abandoned at all, it is just that the kids and grand-kids live abroad and didn’t move in since their parents death. They have relatives going every month to take care of it, but since a few years and the whole exploring thing, people have been starting to brea in and leave the windows and doors open, that is the reason for the decay.
If you were dispatched abroad for a few years to work, would you like people breaking into your house?
There is a very good reason for them wearing gloves when “exploring”, they know very well that what they are doing is illegal.
@@agnestraverse you should perhaps have a permanent watchman to keep people out
Leslie this was a great exploration of a very caring and loving family. You can tell by the nice furniture especially that chair,it was incredible. I can't believe it has been abandoned for 17 years. At least no one has destroyed anything in the house. Well I can't wait for next week's exploration.
34:12 I don't know who was this fan of anime but has my respect for getting mangas in a time that was difficult to get japanese merch
I truly love following you. You don’t just walk through the homes, but you make them come alive. You came across a Motel~T car. I was hoping you would wind it up, so wanted to hear the music 🎶 it played. I bought the same one for my son. It played Quentin’s theme. It is an old waltz. Anyway, thank you for all you do for bring these wonderful adventures to us. 😊
Hi Lesley, what a beautiful place this was at one time. The pictures show how happy the family was, the grandchildren and even their parents should still be alive, I hope they are happy and thriving, I say this so much, it still amazes me how this happens. Thanks for the tour. Love from N.Y.
Walking through a time capsule! I really enjoy how you showcase the home and family story.
What level of wealth or apathy does one have to just abandon this generational home and memories to the elements??
With every video, I am so heartbroken by the decaying of memories, the complete waste of useable items and, the gradual decline of homes that another family would love enjoy.
I just don’t understand this. I probably never will.
Thank you Lesly for the touching tribute to this family. Your videos remind me that life is short and to get rid of stuff I’m not using. Sending a smile from So Cal!
Excellente obs mon ami(e), l'homme ne que de bêtise avec son argent.

You showed us a castle for Christmas and shared with us such beautiful homes, and now this beauty,, that kitchen so charming. What a massive house with a turret? What a wonderful home and grounds, thank you for sharing with us
Love your heart! Your kindness shines in all your work!
What a captivating chateau Lesley. Thanks for the tour and the mist and wintry forests and atmosphere surrounding really add a mystique to it. Those grand antique chairs and that beautiful Jules Verne book! Very nice 👍
@Bros Of Decay Hello Lesley, I know I asked you this before about places abandoned in Scotland, and you mentioned there weren't any. I recently saw a few castles that are abandoned, but I'm not sure if you're able to record them. Anyhow, i love your show! 😊
Love old abandoned Scottish castles! I mean, I've never been to Scotland, but I love watching videos about them ....
@Gregory Zahn I love Scotland myself. If Lesley is allowed to film there, that would be an incredible show. There is so much history there 💖
@@Evak888 Back when I owned my house, I had a crazy, elderly neighbor across the street; he would sometimes go out on his front porch, about 10 pm, with his bagpipes, and play them, Fully dressed in a tartan kilt, white shirt, and beret-type cap. He had a long flowing white beard ... it was like watching a ghost on the old Scottish highlands ... it was a sight to behold.
@@groofoot Wow, that is so beautiful. My boyfriend is from Clan Macdonald and McAlister. I love Scottish culture, music and everything.
@@groofoot
You should’ve spoken with him. He could tell some stories, I bet. Maybe he was a piper in WWII. Oh man, too bad you didn’t speak with that man.
Thank you for bringing us with you Leslie. ❤
The exorbitant inheritance taxes cause the children to walk away because they can't afford it. The same thing happens in England. It is too bad they can't at least auction off the furnishings
Ok. But! Why don’t they take their family photos? None of it makes sense.
@Jenn-io3it The photos the clothes the toys, why they left everything behind, I wonder why;;;🤔
Cant they just sell it??!!
It happened also to our family. My grand parents (british living in france home, an ancient went to decay.
It's best to leave your earthly belongings while still here, otherwise any potential beneficiaries will have a difficult time dealing with legal proceedings and taxing. I find inheritance tax extremely unfair, people worked for / received their earthly posessions for decades of life, paid the taxes on them, now again these are being taxed, why? I find it cruel and cynical.
Wow! Leslie, It’s really something to see how people just leave everything behind! Especially when they leave the family photos! Truly unbelievable!!
Yeah....how are the plants STILL alive if no one is there???
Maybe the photos were left behind because these memories were attached to the house. A lot of valuable and easily portable items were also left behind. It seems the house was quietly preserved as a nostalgic sentimental monument regardless of financial considerations.
Cannot get over, its so gorgeous & no one from the family, go save the furniture! Thank
You for showing us these gorgeous places.
Hello hello, dear Lesley, what a wonderful gem of an enchanted looking mansion! - I am already looking very much forward
to hear more about that amazing location, bro! - Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from sunny and warm Switzerland.
Hope to see you soon, my friend!
Hi Willy,blessings to you to lv Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Hi Willy, I'm the Homegardener, your buddy from the study! Please don't believe this pseudo guy! It's true, that I created him and so he will always be my beloved son. But nevertheless I detest him, because he's a real bad creature.
You don’t see beautiful woodwork like that anymore. Just love it so much.
You’re my favorite explorer ❤love how you explain things in detail and give us history and background on places. It’s almost like you were a noble in a past life 😊
What an amazing find, so architecturally different to the usual manors in France. Very English Tudor on the outside. The furniture etc was amazing too, l hope someone saves them real soon! 🦘🤗🥰
No, the house is no English Tudor at all. It is on the style of a German hunting lodge
Typical of normandy.
@@juliaduncan1438 normandy calvados, typical of.
Love this place so beautiful! Love watching your videos! Thank you for doing what you do!💚💚💚
Thank you so much lesly for showing us this beautiful castle ❤
love your videos. thank-you for showing these places I'll never be able to see in my life time !
Hi Lesley thank you for the wonderful job of showing these homes
Absolutely stunning castle. It's hard to comprehend the antiques left behind and such an enchanting place. Another great explore!!
Thank you Lesley. Amazing! In the mist that beautiful chateau looks positively mythical. I think the architectural design of this place is one of the most beautiful and unique of any you have shown us. My mind still boggles at how such treasures can be left to just dissolve away.Thank you for taking us along. I can"t wait till the next adventure.
Thank you for sharing your incredible story-telling journey with us. It is bittersweet to see all the belongings once touched by members of this family. I am so curious about what would happen if someone in the family happened to see this video! Sophie might cry to see those manga books...
What an amazing picturesque place. Love the angles you did, just had to take a few snapshots of it. 😊
What a grand old home so beautiful in its olden time ! So sad to see it's grand beauty going to nature! Must have been so wonderful for the family to have lived there ! Gorgeous furniture in the lady's bed room ! Sad to see how this loving happy family ended there. Thank you for showing us this lovey grand place and a look into a fine family life . RM.
Очаровательно!!!Я и мечтать не могла о том чтобы увидеть такой прекрасный дом!❤❤❤
The untouched antiques in that place is simply amazing! And I especially like the gilded mirrors! Those mirrors were made using mercury that age over time and gives them a beauty that can only be made with time and they're highly sought after. The woodwork on the furnishings and the Tudor style frame of the chateau is pretty grand also!
i wonder why nobody looted that place?
that's so odd that the family didn't want this home there is so much history there
Ugh the remaining children & grandchildren should be ashamed. Several lifetimes of memories, heirlooms and antiques. It’s soul crushing!
There may be a lien against the house or maybe the memories are just too difficult to bear. From what it sounded like the husband took his own life after Maria died of cancer. The grandchildren probably can't do anything without parents approval. Its really sad. Its like everyone just disappeared into thin air.
Love Love this!!! Great job Leslie always enjoy your adventures!
So sad. It’s as though they were renovating and then illness and death struck . What a terrible shame it is not restored to new glory . The furniture pieces were so beautiful too
Fantastic location! Thank you for the journey.
And again my blood pressure rises dangerously as I always get so fucking angry when I have to watch those magnificent buildings crumble down.
Don’t have anger instead learn from it. Things aren’t permanent and this is why you should live everyday the best you can
@@kayleyholland5655 Thanks for your kind words. All the best!
Just too costly to live in them unless you're really wealthy
@@kayleyholland5655 : well said😊
Leslie Hun I love how you intro and talk about the past life while bringing them to life.:)You say thats not worth it some rooms! @ i believe everything has a worth time piece to look at natural or decay it is the details that you bring light upon.:)Love all your explores nothin dull to see . Love you bunches Leslie a friend of mine to keep for many years to come i hope?.Besafe in life .
I'm quite curious as to why there doesn't seem to be a lot if any dust - my house gets dustier than that in just a couple of weeks - everything seems to clean to have been abandoned all that long ago.
In my opinion because someone keeps like this on purpose as if the people have just left. I wonder how the people from this channel got in too. You can't just enter through the door in such a house.
Hemos pensado exactamente lo mismo, yo desde el sur del planeta y tú desde el norte 😅
So beautiful! So much soul in this home.
Great video Lesley & Dan
As always. Thank you
Love 💕 from Republic of Panama 🇵🇦
Thank you Leslie. Nice tour. 💕
Lesley, do you ever get contacted by a friend or family member of any of the locations you present? Love watching your podcast.
Always excellence and content that has a spiritual touch. Thank you
Beautiful mansion! Congratulations on the beautiful report.
Love the mist in the picture. Looks great 🎉❤
Really enjoyed your videos on this channel, keep up the good work!
Never stop making videos like this! I really enjoyed every videos of yours:) so inspiring
Yeah, encourage braking in private property and filming without permission, way to go.
All the furniture in Marie's bedroom is reproductions, 1990s. We have that suite too.
Which parts? None of it matches.
This was a really good one! But of course they are all great! One of my favorites is when you boys did your grandfather's house. I love all of your videos. Keep it up.
That place was awesome thanks I enjoyed watching all your videos
Beautiful mansion! Incredible that there are no bathrooms, didn't people in that house take a shower in the middle of the 20th century? It was missing showing the small room and the attic. Good exploration. Big hug from Brazil
So, the trespassers not showing any bathrooms and the house not having any is to you the same thing.
I doubt there isn't at least one bathroom there if they had a washing machine.
Someone needs restore this place.
25:53.... The small round chair was for the vanity as the Victorian dresses would not fit comfortable in the armchair. Love your videos. May you be blessed with many travels & safe journeys.
Thank you lesley , its beautiful castel and architec..i love this palace..wow
You are the best what you are doing. Recently, i watched others who is doing your job however you are the one. Congratulations, sending my love from England. ❤❤
@@agnestraverse why not, life is already full of surprise until your last breath. If one day my home was a obendent house then he can most welcome.
I am sorry, but everyone is doing everything around the world.
Grt work..luv watching ur videos
So nice! Amazing the first piece alone Im sure is worth so much! the thickness of the wood, plus the entricate details on the heads! Amazing! It must have been from over 150 years ago to be made so exquisitely!
Watching it now , completely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉,amazing so great ❤❤ ,so really made with talented hands❤❤❤
Absolutely love yous, really interesting that you try an get info about most of the history. Keep up the great work informing the younger folks and discovering history .✌️❤️
I also, watch Adam Mark and laugh when, yous can't figure out what something is... that's just my age showing.😂
Lesly thank you for sharing.I love watching your youtube channel❤
I really can't wrap my head around how it's possible that there's so much left behind in there. So many personal things and valuable artefacts and furniture. Either the entire family, including the grandchildren passed away, or they're inhumane, or some tragedy happened there... I just don't understand. And if the grandchildren are still around somewhere, like Sophie Traverse, why don't they come back to the place to claim their belongings, or at least some of them. I'm very curious to know what happened here and why it's left like this. Also: props for not looking through all of the things in the cabinet in the living room. I would probably scavenge though all of it. But you're very respectful that way. I'd love to do research on these kind of places and ask relatives, neighbors or town-members the big question: why did people leave everything behind? Love these videos by the way. Blijf ze maken!
Thank you I watched the video till the end a really enjoyable tour and the place is very beautiful
The Rifle & the Dinning Table Did you notice the dinning table had a decent layer of dust on it's table top but the rifle seemed almost dust free ? I'm fairly sure the lack of house dust wasn't camera angle & lights . I'm just sayin.
Likely they'd already picked it up.
Siempre con respeto❤. Que maravilla de mansión en medio del bosque y que muebles tan hermosos tallas. Gracias por el video 😊
Very nice house. Thank you Lesley! The building itself is a great design. A homey home.💙🌙🐌🌸
We love you too!! Thank you for everything you do.
Oh that is lovely. An abandoned castle in such a preserver state. A tragic history behind it. A chilling location surrounded by trees and mist. That definitely looks like my kind of dream house.
請問是什麼悲慘的事 啊 ；謝謝您
Hi Bros, I love the video you posted , its great. Watching from the Philippines you have a very soft voice. God bless always
I’d just love to have that makeup vanity! WOW it’s beautiful the carvings and wood. It’s gorgeous!
Me encantan todos tus videos y esta mansión sobre todo, parece sacada de un cuento. Gracias por compartir tus experiencias. Un saludo.
Its so good that you look at the photo graphs and check the backs incase of writing. Sureky more can be done to stop these places rotting away
Wow very beautiful and filled with magic
This video is the best of the best Lesley...💖
Intriguing. Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
Greetings from West Virginia Your videos are always amazing!!
I'm also from WV.
U do such beautiful work!
Hola Lesley, hermoso castillo, con muchos recuerdos
Que triste que sus hijos, hallan dejado en el abandono la casa de sus padres
Lo que más me gusto de este castillo, es, su cocina, simplemente hermosa, y muy completa, con todos los electrodomésticos, necesarios en un hogar
Saludos desde Colombia 🙋♀️👋👋👋❤️🍃🥀
Such a beautiful and Lovely House truly Amazing the Antique the entire place is so good ! and the way you explained everything is so beautifully exceptional ! The memories the things makes me sad like why such a beautiful house left abandoned like this ! I hope the family who used to lives here have a good life Now 🙏❤ I hope government should take steps to make it good and when this place is getting good you're the one who make the video again! 🥰😍💗
Hi from California! Awesome tour thnx😃
So nice sharing !
Makes me wonder if something happened here to make them leave all this behind.
I agree Lesley, an exquisite make up table and chair in the corner. Beautiful.
Why haven't there been collector's or scavengers cleaning out that place? So much priceless beautiful furniture and glassware. Are there no children or grandchildren that are laying claim to any of the contents or the the house and land?
Loved this one.
I appreciate the respectful way you guide the viewer through this 'castle", I saw beautiful antiques and it gave me a nice impression of how these people lived in their time. I loved it .
Respectful way would be not to enter a private property in the first place, don't you think? (But maybe you don't.)
