    Step into the sun-soaked countryside of southern France and behold a house that conceals a mesmerizing tale. Once belonging to David and Marie Louise, a passionate French couple, this captivating abode carries a story interwoven with enchantment and antiquities.
    Marie Louise, inheriting the house from her grape-growing ancestors, encountered a turning point when she met David. Their shared obsession with collecting and trading antiques breathed life into the walls of their home, each item holding a tale from times long past.
    Yet, in 1997, David's chapter came to a close, leaving behind a legacy of precious belongings that ignited Marie Louise's fervor. The house transformed into a labyrinth of captivating artifacts, each piece bearing the weight of memories and emotions.
    As the years passed, family visits became more complex as disputes over the division of belongings arose, causing fractures in the once-harmonious bond. In 2006, Marie Louise's spirit departed, leaving behind a legend of the most endearing grandmother.
    Venture with us on a journey of exploration as we unravel the extraordinary tales of David and Marie Louise. Delve into the heart of southern France and discover the allure of antiquities that once filled this house. Witness the passion that transcended time and feel the magic that still lingers within these storied walls.

    I like that you take an interest in the people who inhabited these abandoned places. It distinguishes you from other explorers of abandoned houses because the respect you show for them, their lives and their memories is always present.

  • @tarpleyk9352

    My dad bought a house before him and mama married in 1967. He was the only owner, and now my sister (54) lives there. Sadly he passed from Alzheimer’s 10 years ago. Lots and lots of memories. Shag carpeting as far as the eye could see ( my sister has since put in hardwood) I never thought of it as “back in time” I mean no disrespect, it just sounds odd for me with some describing words. It really isn’t that long ago, but I suppose the reason is Abandonment ( an abandoned home )💜I love your channel , so I’m not trying to be rude 💜

  • @nightstalkerck

    So sad to see so many Antiques decaying, and the music was beautiful, but I have to admit, there's a fine line between antiquing and hoarding. You were great and tender as always.

  • @printedwit

    honestly, i'm only 37, but i reflect on these videos every time i consider a purchase. "does this object mean anything to anyone other than me?" "am i growing a mess for someone else to clean up later?" ....it doesn't stop me from collecting my favorite things, but it stops me from making more frivolous purchases.

  • @kristineobrien8878

    You did such a magical testimony on her home/life…me dealing with stage 4 colon cancer… I want to get my treasures under control. Thank you for honoring her things and kitty photos. Extra Thank you for calling her dolls… baby dolls and not creepy…they meant much to her. Thank you for treating this women’s home with respect!

  • @frankly1744

    The round pans with long handles that you often see are not ash collectors, they are actually bed warmers, they were filled with embers and placed between blankets to warm the beds of the upper class that inhabit the homes!! Love to watch your respectful investigations!

  • @fallonbea

    I can’t understand family members fighting over a place for so long that in the end there will ultimately be nothing left of it anymore. I hope collecting gave her the comfort she was looking for🙏, if so that is all that matters. No one understands and there should be no judgement of her.

  • @Marycedarcreek

    It's true, that there is so much you cannot possibly see it all. It's hard to see how she moved in the house without bumping into her things. Although there are some lovely things. But I think when she shut the store it cost too much for storage for that much. Storage fees go into the thousands in about 10 years. Another great video. And thank you for being such a kind host. You are so respectful and this world needs more like you. You are a joy in personality and integrity. 🌷

    Thankfully when my mother passed, it was just myself and my sister. We divided everything fairly. If we both wanted something, we wrote it down and put it on a piece of paper, folded the paper and put it on a bowl. Then we took turns drawing the folded papers from the bowl. We sold the house and then split that evenly. My sister kept our mothers car due to the fact she did most of the work to sell the house since I lived 1000 miles away. This was back in 2001 and she still has my mother's car since it was new when my mother bought it and my mother rarely drove far, so it had very low mileage. People shouldn't fight over these silly things, now that they had to have the courts involved, that house is unfortunately going to have to be demolished eventually and everything inside will most likely just be left inside when and if it's demolished since everything is already beyond saving. Such a shame.

    Excellent documentary, Lesley! ❤ It is so sad to hear that the family is fighting over it. Loved the beautiful items inside this beauty. Thank you for showing it to us.

  • @tamathalamb9193

    Hello Leslie from Dayton Ohio! Thank you for making another wonderful video. I love love love old house and their old contents. As much as I love seeing these I am equally sad that these people’s memories seem to be lost forever , as if they never existed. Those photos broke my heart . I do not have any family, other than my children, and my husband, but if I did I would cherish their photos and pass them down.

  • @ramona_rami5643

    Hello, Lesley! I really liked this interesting emotional story! So many beautiful antiques you always present with great care! I love the paintings and the family photos; family meant everything to Marie and it helped her cope with the loss of her dear husband!

  • @lorihayes1419

    I am one of 7 girls and one boy and sadly must admit that there were 2 of my sisters who pitched a fit over things. My sister and I refused to engage in any of it because we knew how my sweet, kind little mom would have been so sad and disappointed. My mom insisted I take things she wanted me to have before she passed. I thought it was silly at the time, but now I think she just knew her time was short. She was always so busy and so vibrant, I didn’t see it coming at all.

  • @69flutterbabi

    You never said anything about the butterfly wallpaper ❤ It is so l😍 lovely

  • @deb0523ful

    Thank you for being so kind of the memories of that family. Great job

  • @vickidunkle3698

    That room with the larger bed appears to me to be the masterbedroom where her and her husband may have slept. My mom began collecting dolls as she got older that gave her so much joy. When she was small she was allowed only one doll so she made up for all the dolls she ever wanted to keep her company😊

  • @quint150

    Makes you wonder how letting it all rot is a sane resolution to a family dispute.

  • @lauraslocumb257

    I’ve watched your channel from the beginning and have always been impressed by the dignity you show those from the past. Bless you! ❤

  • @Abijah12411

    Oh my 😮that Winter Cactus on that outside bistro table looks good for being exposed to the elements for 15+ years....

  • @dawn7523

    So true Leslie, A man’s life does not consist of the abundance of one’s possessions ❤
