STORY
Over the rolling hills of the endless French countryside, we stumbled upon a charming historical farm that seemed abandoned at first glance. Stepping inside, we were amazed to find it looked like it had been deserted for over a century. Every item inside the house seemed to belong to a different era.
This magnificent farm is a true gem of 18th-century French rural architecture. Its charming stone walls, rustic wooden beams, and timeless design show a period of beauty and craftsmanship from long ago. The Baillot family, known for their hard work and simple pleasures, loved this farm, living a traditional life that followed the rhythms of nature and the changing seasons.
Upon further investigation, we discovered that this place had been abandoned since 2008. The former owner, Allain, had shunned modern technology entirely. After his children moved out and his wife passed away, he lived here alone, with only the occasional visit from his grandchildren.
But a dark twist in the farm’s history came when Allain passed away. Surprisingly, his considerable fortune went to Jacques, one of the family members. Jacques had never shown care for his uncle, which angered those who had. Mysteriously, the uncle’s will vanished, leaving the rightful heirs with nothing. To avoid the legal battles that followed, Jacques field with the inheritance, abandoning the farm and its legacy.
This place is truly one of a kind, offering a chance to step back in time and experience how life was lived in rural France a century ago.
Join us as we explore the history and secrets of this remarkable farm, diving into stories of betrayal, mystery, and abandonment that surround this extraordinary estate.

Lesly is such a wonderful young man. So polite and magnetic 🎉
Danny is a great friend and caring young man. Keep it up guys❤
This, once beautiful, stately, old mansion has once again broken my heart ♥️!!! The decay of this property is heartbreaking 😞😰😢 It always makes me sooo very sad to see that no family members have gone in to save the priceless, one of a kind treasures, that these properties hold!!! The old books that could have been donated to a library or a museum, the gorgeous antique wooden furniture that could have been sold or donated to a museum & the family photos that can never be duplicated & will be lost forever 😞😰😢 I even saw sooo many metal receptacles that could have been saved!!! It reminds me that we can collect meaningful memories for ourselves, but our family or friends don’t hold the same things dear😞😰😢 Thank you Leslie & Danny for risking your lives, to share, yet another wonderful adventure!!! I truly loved it 👍🙏💕
I love to see Leslie and Danny show these videos together they are so caring and compassionate of other people's stuff , Loved the video stay safe guys
Agree with everything you said..it’s surprising sometimes they come across objects that they find “disturbing” like the purse made from animal skins. Maybe they’re not aware of things that today we don’t agree with, but in the past was perfectly normal. Like a sealskin purse, the things they considered “food” even some of the words they would use to describe others is definitely shocking to us now (retarded, moron, idiot etc) Either way they’re both awesome especially how respectful they are)
What a great exploration guys! I have glass negatives of my dad from when he was like 5 yrs old. He was born in 1917. My grandfather used to dabble in photography back then beside doing the dairy farming. God Bless 🙏🙏🌺🌺🙏🙏
J'adore magnifique vraiment dans son jus cette maison merci à vous de nous montrer ces vidéos 😊😊
Hand-painted photographs are still being done as more of an art thing. Years ago before there was color photography it was a way to make photographs more lifelike. I have photographs that were done like that of my mother and father.
Watching from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦. So sad to see the place in such a state of neglect 🙁
Greetings from Portland, Oregon USA!! I enjoy your videos because you are respectful and courteous to the spirits-passed. You are champions in trying to document history before it is all lost. Urah! to all of your team. - JFM [artist]
Love the cabinet in the dining room.
The item that is seen sitting next to the piano at minute 32:55 that you thought was a sled is actually an item called a "Nun and Priest" bed warmer. I've seen these in several old house explorations. Look it up on the internet for complete explanation.
Si , in Italia si chiama prete e all' interno veniva messo una specie di scaldino chiamato suora
Leslie is a candy to the eye!
Hola Lesley y Danny les saluda gustosa Flor . Les veo desde Coahiila, México. Pese a q la casa está tan frágil es bonita y sus muebles espectaculares, los gabinetes, el piano entre otras cosas. Que humilde Lesley!!!! Pues aceptas los conocimientos espléndidos q posee Danny.. Verdaderamente hacen un excelente equipo!!!!!Gracias por este video, lo he disfrutado mucho.
TRES BONNE VISITE D UNE DEMEURE D UNE FAMILLE DE FRANCE MON PAYS MERCI
Lesley and Danny you are my favorite explorers of abandoned houses and castles. I like the way you presented them giving us some details on properties left behind especially those antiques items and old pictures of the family. Other explorers just show us in passing what they see.
It really started freaking me out when you were going up stairs, where there was no floor at the doorway. But I could give 10 thumbs up for the bedroom that you found up there, that is one of the most beautiful rooms of decay I have ever seen.absolutely beautiful, thank you for taking the risk you guys are my favorite creators of all! 100 thumbs up on this one. Stay safe.
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, I was concerned about your safety on this one. Even In the basement. Thanks for taking care. Many interesting things in the house. The only boy, it seems, was the one who took the Inheritance. Enjoyed the exploration and looking forward to the next one. ❤
Wow! Incredible house! Hello from America!👋
Hi Lesley & Danny,😊 Abandoned French Mansion of a Different Era!!
I would tell the Grandchildren ...when You Find a Address..So they can Get Some Belongings Before It`s Too Late!!
@9:39 that Cabinet was Very Beautiful & Loved the other Furniture, Bed Frames & 5 Beds & add 1 Bed in the Attic,
3 Clocks, 2 Piano`s, & All the Pictures, Glass Slides & Photos & Stoves!! All Should Be SAVED!!
@ 23:24 Glass Slides in the Box, Lesley Should of Been Moved...Not Be Put Back Where Wall is Soon To Break!!
@ 29:20 Faure French Stove...is a Antique Co DeVille Express called "Sirocco" 1910 to Early 1930..So Old No Images On Google!!
@ 36:17 Mirus French Stove... is a Antique 1920 but can Still Buy it USA for $ 2,331.44
Now I Love Everything Lesley & Danny Showed & Talked About, & Love How Danny is Caring for You Les..Not to Get Hurt!!❤
You 2 Make a Great Team!!💖 Was Very Dangerous, Take Care Both of You!!💖 Have a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey!!💖
Both of You have a Wonderful Day & Evening!!❤ Love You Both, Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
Great exploration, guys! The family photos are so lovely!!!
It’s heartbreaking to know that soon that beautiful cabinet will be destroyed when the rest of the house falls in. They don’t make pieces like that anymore. The craftsmanship and quality is top notch. They use to take pride making furniture back in the old days when it was about Quality not quantity. Furniture made now or in the past fifty years does not even compare. And it’s a shame that so many fine pieces of antique furniture and those beautiful stoves are left to rot in abandoned homes. Until soon there won’t be any left 💔
Thank you for taking us to this wonderful place.
That was so awesome guys, loved it.
The old photos, the antiques, even the decay sad but it’s what made this explore so intriguing for me. Thank you Leslie and Danni for all your hard work
Bravo' for another epic definitely a lot of decay explore! I do have to agree the cabinet in the dining room is very unusual I'd be proud to have one like it. it's something I've not seen before. I'm not a nail biter but you had me on the edge of my seat with this one. A good strong wind could indeed destroy what is left quickly. Thank you for another historical tour.
Thank you Lesley and Danny. You're the best!
A real museum! Well done! BR Roland
If you look at some of the wallpaper falling off, you can spot the backing layer made out of newspaper, it's always interesting to check it, it gives an idea of when this wallpaper was applied.
My sister's mother in law has bought an old house recently to renovate, and I could see 1929 newspaper still stuck on the bricks.
This is an amazing place and what a story! Thanks for taking us along on these wonderful adventures. I do wish you wouldn't take such chances when the floor is so bad or even nonexistent! Thanks guys. You are the best!
It's extraordinary how quickly it went to rack and ruin so quickly.😢
Thanks for awesome video sad that awesome house is falling apart
Utterly INCREDIBLE place !! Like a museum ! I love it ! How on earth do you manage to find these treasures ? Thank you Guys !
Leslie, staying true to his shirt, comes out of comfort zone and falls through floor 😂😂
Hey Lesley, Again an exceptionally wonderful explore video, which I enjoyed rewatching! You and Danny are really a wonderful and very respectful Urbex duo. It is every time so amazing to watch how you, dear Lesley, bring new life to such an abandoned location.
Besides heavy decay traces there were still some really remarkable items visible. Especially that very elaborately carved cabinet in the late 19th century historism style is really beautiful with the incredible details. Looking at some other pieces of furniture with awesome carvings I think, that the former owners of that French farm house were very cultivated and quite wealthy people. - Additionally it was so touching to see these old photographs, which are giving you a short idea of the life back in the days when this location was active and filled with life. - Lovely to see how caring Danny is, preventing you from getting involved in an accident. Great camerawork and beautiful background music. Respect to Danny and his skills!
Stay safe, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
Wow there is so many antiques in there, that’s awesome.
Bună băieți, felicitări pentru munca depusă, mulțumesc pentru traducere.
I agree with the other people and their comments. You both make it so interesting to watch all of your videos about all these abandoned houses. You bring them back to life. Thank you so much. Please be safe on your journeys!¡!! I look forward to seeing many more videos from you both 😊.
I definetely loved the whole house.
Can't wait to see 🎉 this beautiful place 😍
This channel is so interesting and both of you are celebrities in your own right! Yea for CZcams!! Such a fascinating concept and has more value then just exploring as i have realized with authentic exploration! This topic touches your heart, the realization of our short time on this earth. Everything we buy and admire is all material we can't hold it forever, so sad in it's way! Leslie and Danny you're a great duo and such old souls which is why you're both so great at such a truly sensitive subject and I appreciate your channel. Truly life changing it's like watching a dream and a flood of emotions
Thank you guys so much for taking me look around the nice place.
You two be very careful please and thanks again for wonderful video 🙏🏼💟
Thanks for Leslie 👍🏻
Wow this was a gem 💎 in its time I find it so very sad that people leave their family heirlooms behind Ty 🇨🇦
I enjoy your videos and love that Danny is involved also.
This so interesting but so sad that things r going to ruin. Love u guys from Texas
This was like a step back 100 years at least! You guys are brave traversing through the house! Hope you got out without getting rained on too much! Great video and exploration, guys!
Honestly before I never thought much of abandoned places. I came across this channel by chance and thought you guys were in a beautiful old movie set.
But it wasn’t a movie set you guy were in the real thing! You’re Soo lucky! Real castles with real old belongings! After that I’m fascinated by every video that you guys make! I love the way you guys get along, the way you are so detailed n thoughtful of respecting these homes and the belongings of the people from another era we can learn so much about.
I love horses, ancient history n architecture and now abandoned locations too❤ Especially aristocratic ones.
Thank you for introducing me to something I never knew I would enjoy so much! And both of you are hot papis too! Be safe always 😊 Big hugs n kisses from Nyc ❤
Danny bruv! To know that was a battery! Mad respect ❤❤
I find the furniture and pictures very interesting.
Oba adoro as histórias que você pesquisa especialmente para nós!! Muito obrigado 🎉❤❤
That French Gothic Revival Hand carved cabinet…. $11k easily
The picture of the girl in the bedroom is a black and white photo. Before colour prints they used to colour them by hand.
I have some of my grandmother and my parents wedding.
12:55 make me remember when anne show to me the photo. grandpa so much love her :)
Hello from Fort Worth, Texas. Very cool place. I'm thinking you guys should be wearing PPE or masks in a place with all that mold and and possibly asbestos. Be careful in those places! Thanks for sharing.
You scared me a few times guys , it must have been a nice place before being abandoned.
This one really fit the namesake and was truly Decayed! Very cool to see
This was another interesting house. I've only been inside an big old abandoned house one time in my life as a girl and boy did it smell bad. I always think about that when I watch your videos. I sure love the serene music you play just in the background. Lovely but not distracting. 😊
Dejar Danny, allways si sensitive. Take care, both of you ❤
Awesome! I try to imagine how it looked in it's hey day!
This property made me nervous ... so dangerous ! Thanks for sharing
Another great video!
Hi guys.. you have a lot of fans here in Nashville Tennessee! Im the #1 fan 😊. Thanks for the video we really enjoyed it ❤
Mulțumesc frumos Leslie și Danny
"Chantiers" means construction sites, but it's more fun to imagine they won an award for singing.
SO DANGEROUS 😮 such an amazing video once again ❤thank you guys
Good afternoon gentlemen ♥️♥️✌️
you and Danny ,,,very brave in this one.....i was nervous for both of you..............................im very far ...in indiana usa....good night......
Oh no! I'm late. Hello Leslie & Danny. Gonna have to restart this adventure ❤😊
This house was gorgeous in its day. Love all the storage and secret rooms. What I don’t understand is why do family members leave these memorable treasures behind? It is heartbreaking 💔
Sometimes it seems that once love of family is gone,these homes get lonely and sad and fall apart from the Heartbreak of being all alone😢
About films: after the late 1940s, films were made of celluloid. It's not paper, but something similar. Before that, there were nitrate-based films which were extremely flammable. Early movies were made on those and they were really dangerous. As an alternative to that, there were glass for photographs, which were safer and could also be made bigger. Professional photographers used them, sometimes pieces of glass much larger than you've found here. Photographs made on those are wonderfully detailed.
Yes, those glass slides were like stepping back in time. I wish we could see all of them.
C'est vraiment triste, toute une histoire familiale qui part en miettes. J'espère que cette vidéo sera un déclic pour la famille de s'occuper de son bien et de sauver ce qui peut l'être.
Love your adventures around the world. But have to laugh when your friend corrects you when you are usually right. Look forward to more adventures.
Beautiful old things
The 18th century refers to the 1700’s. The 19th century refers to the 1800’s and like that. Thank you for all the great videos. ❤
Very interesting, guys. Amazing and magical. I would like to know if anyone saves all these things later? It would be a shame if they disappeared forever
Finally comes in English!!! 🎉
BONJOUR LE FRANCAIS EST T IL DE MISE MERCI
great job boys !!!!
Gostei eu sou apaixonada por casas antigas principalmente quando há histórias sobre os moradores e a casa❤🇧🇷
La salle à manger et top
loved it thank you
Buongiorno carissimi Lesley e Denny
Come sempre insuperabili
Una vera tristezza lasciare al macero la casa il fratello è stato un egoista..
La slitta a fianco al pianoforte .. è uno scaldaletto dell'epoca vi si metteva sopra dei mattoni caldi o uno scaldino con la brace.. grazie siete meravigliosi 💪💪💪💪❤😘😘💯💯💯❤❤
Leslie ,ya es hora de ser padre !! Te vez lindo con el cochecito 😂❤🍻🇨🇱🍼
The music while you’re both in the cellar…
Boa tarde meninos vídeo top ❤❤
Some of the photos are polaroids . There not that old. Its such a crime the antiques are just rotting away. This is something that make me sick. I cant stand watching such a waist. Once these things are gone they are never comming back. Like this home it will not be comming back. I think you two are right. These people had some money. I hope they were happy in there lives. The rain falls right through the house. This one is really bad. Stay safe you guys. Thanks for the film

Saludos desde Venezuela. Los felicito. Disfruto cada vídeo que pasan. Es triste ver una granja en ese estado.y tomando mucho riesgo como un caída. Cuídense. .
my fave chanel ❤
I once found a tin black and white picture of some old family members. 3 men one is setting, two are standing beside the one setting. Long black mustache, dressed in their best suits not a one of them were smiling! Weird! I still have it! It’s from my Dads side. He had 3 brothers. So…..idk
Pretty sure that inheritance was stolen with a fraudulent will. May he find his karma, if such a thing exists.
Also, that first bedroom you found, everything was so deliberate? Almost like they arranged the room as a memorial to whomever lived in it before the place was abandoned.

تحياتي من مصر 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬❤
thank you so much great pleas continu love
¡Buen vídeo! Pero realmente era un trineo lo que vieron? Parecía lo que utilizaban debajo de las camas para mantenerlas calentitas
There is no end and no beginning within.
Why is it in Flemish/dutch language? Close captions
The wires on the piano that are exposed are actually called snares!!
Like I said Leslie is usually right and Danny a bit arrogant but all in all a good team I guess.
Boa tarde meninos😉aqui do Brasil!
