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

    The most shocking thing is that it is in such amazing condition and that things have not been stolen. There are many exquisitely beautiful items. It also makes me sad to think a fantastic house like this is abandoned. It should have a happy family, filled with love and the laughter and exited chatter of children enjoying playing, running in and out with their pet dog.

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

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

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

    Within the last year or so I’ve been watching these Urban explorers do their thing. I absolutely love this channel. This fella is so informative and compassionate with his work. Love it✔️
    I have to be honest though… after every video I think the same thing… DANG I wish that was me exploring these amazing places! I wish there was a “buddy” program that they’d allow you to join them just once. I never knew in my younger years such a thing existed. Now I’m old😕. I’m in the US🤨. Zero opportunity to do this.
    So I will keep on watching and admiring the Bros of Decay✨❣️

    This is a wonderful structure with lovely details of architecture and design. The niches are a wonderful way to display items. The marble fireplaces are so fine! The furnishings are incredibly beautiful pieces of craftsmanship, but the antiques are what makes it so impressive! Incredible pieces of art! Amazingly extravagant mirrors, lovely porcelain figurines, Hummels, marble urns, fantastic clocks, paintings, vases- small and huge, so many impressive candleabra and chandeliers, excellent pianos! These items were the collection of a lifetime of taste and discernment, for every piece is truly a valuable antique! The people who owned this home were very well-educated, well-travelled, interesting people who had an appreciation of fine and beautiful things! What a wonderful time I had just looking at it all!

    Perhaps the auction was delayed because of the pandemic, whatever the reason it is an amazing opportunity for us to peek into an unparalleled mansion with its many antiques. There were many beautiful cabinets and mirrors, chandeliers and vases.

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

    There's a satellite TV/internet dish on the side of the servants' house and several plastic water bottles throughout the house. There's also no dust anywhere. So...I'm pretty sure it's not abandoned lol. It also gave me such bad anxiety when you kept opening/moving stuff & not putting it back how it was 😂😩 I love your videos, though, and I think it's great how much you love old buildings. I just personally think you should always wear gloves. The oils from your hands can ruin/damage priceless antiques, and you could touch something bad without knowing it & get sick

The wooden and carved closets are called Armoires. The treasure chest is a steamer trunk. The pipe is a Native American Peace Pipe. The desk "Flatteners" are actually called blotters, usually made of wood and leather with an absorbent bottom to dab up excess ink. The desks with drop-down tables and cabinetry are called Secretaries. The Asian "Rackets" are Asian fans, to fan yourself in the heat. Hope that helps.
