- Join me my dear Oddites as we travel through France on the back roads - where beautiful towns await us and an amazing early 19th century Château, that was closed up decades ago. It remains undisturbed by the progress around it.
Btw, the circa 1930s HOLY WATER bottle featured on the teaser image, belongs to my collection...minus the holy water :)
Oddie Beau's ODDNESS Urban exploration & famous historical features! vintage crime cases & eccentric people from the past! ...and other weird stuff :) ....a dusty store window, filled with ancient alluring oddities. Once you've entered, you'll never want to leave. Quality over quantity. - Zábava

Epic bro
I love when you take us places! I love all your video's!
Hi~ don’t know if you will notice, but I made a lengthy comment in general section for you. Didn’t notice until I watched this again that I should have left comment here. Anyway, believe I may have stumbled upon a CZcams explore of the inside of this that will just break everyone’s 💔 viewer discretion advised 🤦♀️
Hi Oddie! I love the idea of putting the books/ Library take replace into the old phone booths.what a way to recycle :-) also I love being able travel with u.I grew up in Barre,VT USA on a dairy farm.my dad loved going for rides & making memories with us kids & my grandfather(moms dad).if we asked where r we going his response wherever the car takes us.it was so much fun.we got to see places on the off beat road.since I am unable to travel across to explore I love that u r taking me
Oddie, I love your channel because of the variety of your posts. They are always intriguing--from the travelogues to the more sinister posts, to the supernatural. 👍
When I was younger I traveled all through Europe. (thank goodness I did. Disabled now) I completely agree with you. I always left the tours and went on my own with the native people of the area. Awesome experience. Seeing the beauty of each country, trying the native cuisine, meeting the people. I love your videos. You give excellent advice. I appreciate being able to reminisce Through your videos. Again Thank you for all your hard work. Stay safe. God bless
Thanks for your very kind feedback Regina, I appreciate it :)
I have to use a scooter to get around for long standing. My pelvis is all messed up.
Same here, Regina ! Thank God that I also had the opportunity to visit many beautiful countries in Europe in my youth and later with my wife, the memories will always stay with me/ us for all times, and I will never forget seeing so much beauty in landscape and architecture, history and culture and meeting so many nice and interesting people while we both still could. We are both severely disabled now so our travelling days are over, but none can take our memories away from us and we have our beautiful daughter and Oddie's videos as well, so that is something isn't it ? All the best, Regina ! From Steve, Hamburg, Germany.😘
@@SNP-1999 thank you Steve. Your right. We are blessed....
I found that when I lived in Germany in a small town, that I loved wandering through the town and the back roads. Clean of course, people took pride in their property
I wish that were true everywhere. I always wanted to visit San Francisco and now I am reading everywhere about how dirty it has become. I haven't marked it off my bucket list just yet though, but it doesn't look good for the future of that city..
I use back roads when I travel here in America. I have eaten the best home cooked food ever, and seen the greatest things at flea markets. This is a beautiful video. I'm jealous. ..Thankyou for sharing your journey...
Thanks to you Oddie I am able to see these beautiful places. I could never afford to go there. Through your videos and tours I can just imagine the air, the sounds and atmosphere. Thank you Oddie for taking us along.
Luv from Texas.💖
Thanks for your very kind feedback Sylvia, I appreciate it :)
Thank you, Oddie, for helping fulfill my dream of traveling to France. Merci beucoup 💜
I would love to take the kids on that carousel ride! Looks great. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Oddie these buildings are so beautiful and so is the carousel we don't have anything like this in Ottawa on love the architecture
It would be so interesting to learn more about this chateau. I happen to love your tours and many times I watch them more than once - so much to see and learn. Thank you very much for taking us along.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Shirley, I appreciate it :)
We are in your wagon full of visitors on the back roads of France. I will NEVER get to visit but enjoy you taking us there. God bless you too Oddie.
Thanks for your very kind feedback, I appreciate it :)
Marvelous! Thank you again and again. The architecture. I have no words.
Oddie, I'm like you, I much prefer to go off of the beaten path and explore the back roads. What you have given us is truly a delight to the senses :-D . Like you, I'm practically chomping on the bit to learn more about the chateau (My husband is an international business traveler for the medical device company that he works for and he doesn't care for Paris either!-It's way to busily manic for him, although he did like Versailles a great deal!) My father would often take myself and my 5 siblings on a Sunday drive after church and we'd always find something new and amazing. How I miss those drives with him. That castle would be an amazing wedding venue! I'd happily go bankrupt with you just to get a shot at buying the chateau. Thank you much for taking us along on this tour. I do indeed look forward to your next video! :-D
Some viewers have sent me additional information, and it appears that the
château, although still furnished, (complete with many taxidermy
specimens!) is in a bad state of decay inside; the roof has caved in, water has ruined much of it - and the owner refuses to
sell or bequeath it...preferring it to rot into the ground.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Mary, I appreciate it :)
ObsoleteOddity I will never understand how anyone could own this superb piece of architecture and all its contents, only to willfully let it rot and decay. One has to wonder what the story is because I’m sure there must have been many offers over the decades. There is a great mystery in this chateau and its family I am thinking.🖤🇨🇦
Beautiful place Oddie, the buildings are magical. I will visit France one day soon. Thank you I love these videos.
Beautiful job. Enjoyed it.
That fish tank is a lobster holder. They probably have fresh lobster in season.
Interesting what type do you think they would have
When I was in the 5th grade I won an essay contest on which city I’d most like to visit.
I picked Paris.
‘Never got there yet. Thanks for letting us vicariously experience the charm and quaintness of France, like none other can do! 😊
Well there's constant rioting in Paris anyway. Best stick to the smaller towns and villages unless you're in the mood for rioting. 😎
Thanks for your very kind feedback Melinda, I appreciate it :)
Wonderful! I love peace and history. You did an awesome job on this one friend. Thanks , Shirley
Seeing that beautiful house next to the Hotel de Ville, one can really say that the architects and builders in those days not only loved their trade, but spared no effort or cost to build something special, decorated with love of detail and unique in its own way. Such buildings are not constructed any more and humanity and society loses out because of the lack of such beauty in our midst. I have also travelled the country roads of France from Brittany to the Cote d'Azur in the past and agree totally with Oddie in his appreciation of the charm and beauty of the wonderful country, not only in its fantastic countryside but also the lovely architecture of the villages and towns. I once saw a similar, but much larger carrousel in Strasbourg once, it was gigantic and ancient - I don't know when they started building those funfair attractions, but it must have been an early model - with lovely old carriages and horses on it. The Château Oddie couldn't get entrance to is lovely, I can understand his frustration not being able to get into the place. Just imagine what might still be hidden inside it's beautiful walls ! Great video, as always, Oddie ! Love your narrative and approach to the subject of old buildings, antiques and history in general ! 🌟🌟🌟
SNP1999 decorated with love and detail 👏🏻👏🏻 I agree, well said 👍🏻 that’s so rare now. The future will have a hard time truly appreciating the beauty of this, if it’s becoming so less and less. Sadly..😔 here in the states, wish more people would appreciate what little is here more too. We’re traveling to Florence Italy this summer. Can’t wait! Sister trip only..😉
@@Lizablue0608
Thanks, Leesa ! Hope you enjoy your trip to Florence with your sister ! Have a lovely time in beautiful Italy ! 😋
I absolutely LOVE France! I was only there once for two weeks years ago. The French are lovely people. I could live there! I am happier in older places; that's my heart ❤️
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for sharing. I am with you about the abandoned Chateau, please keep us updated if you find anymore information about the place. I want to travel to France. Kind regards.
i love all your videos !all the places you take us ,your viewers thanks so much !!!!!
You are the reason why I look forward to night..you are the reason for my insomnia. Hahaha--I enjoy your videos and look forward to watching 1 or 2 or even 3 every night
Thanks for your very kind feedback, I appreciate it :)
I suppose it was a "Storm the Bastille" for the Palace attitude! The words on the Chateau say, "Not without sorrows, I am overwhelmed" Thank you for the peeks Oddie...
'Non inultus premor' means 'I cannot be touched with impunity'. Quite interesting.
Okay. Buy it and rent rooms two or three days for your fans! I'll patronize your establishment. Oh, I love this installment! I could live in a little place like that, now that I'm retired.
Such a feast for the eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
So beautiful ! Wish I was there . Having toured some of Europe ( Austria, Switzerland , Italy & Europe) I loved looking at all these beautiful buildings. Still yearning to go back for another visit ! Thank you Oddie 🤗
What a great way to end an exhausting and emotionally draining month. I love these tours and I have some catching up to do . Thankfully I have finally managed to get some assistance and will have more time now . You're an oasis in all the craziness that happens in this world Oddie and I'm not sure if you are aware of the calming power of your voice and how therapeutic it is to go on a tour with you .
I feel I have to mention Erin . I truly believe that her spirit stopped by to bid you farewell before she left on her eternal journey . That is the power of your community.
Would it be possible to trace the owner of the chatue from the family crest above the doorway? It would be great to look inside but I find it eerie that nobody in the town would speak about it . Maybe there's a sinister story about it .
I think the fish tank is kept for lobster and that's why it was empty.
Our world is incomprehensibly crazy . We have lost our humanity . I wish we could escape to times when respect meant something .
Anyway it's so great to be back .
Ps I'm still having problems with Patreon . I've tried everything even different accounts . Could you please check if by some glitch it isn't available in SA . I will have time this week and will definitely sort it out one way or another.
With much love and respect
Lewellyn
Sorry to hear you've had a tiring month Lewellyn, hopefully things are getting better.
Thanks for your very kind feedback brother, I appreciate it :)

Good point about the fish tank!
I had a look and some SA patrons have reported a total outage of Visa payments, so I don't know if that has something to do with the problems you're experiencing. I shall send you the link via messenger to Patreon support, send them an email detailing the issues you're having. It might be a temporary glitch. If they don't reply in a week, let me know and I'll get on to them.
Cheers my friend, have a great week,
Oddie
Your voice is calming and beautifull!!. I live in the Netherlands and when i was a kid (now 35) my parents always took us to France. Mind you they have 5 kids. But i have great memory s of that. Always visiting Castles old churces museums. And i love the fact that in the small places you sometimes see An old house and you don t think anyone lives there anymore to find out they do.... Love France 🥰
I find that fascinating too, some places look ancient and abandoned....then you see someone through the windows!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Hilde, I appreciate it :)
Sounds so wonderful!! 💘
Love,love,love the tour videos also. Fascinating and I enjoy learning about the history and other facts about the various locales visited. Keep posting.
It’s so pretty there. You pick the best places!
Beautiful, Oddie. Thank you for taking us with you on this excursion. I also enjoy traveling via back roads. I agree, the experiences are much richer then the overload of big city thrills.
My great-great-grandfather was killed on the front porch of his chateau during the Great War and the rest of my family immigrated to the United States soon afterward. I've been on the hunt to find their chateau for years. Quite difficult with the language barrier.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Celeste, I appreciate it :)
Sorry to hear about your great-grandfather, do you know the name of the château?
@@ObsoleteOddity I do not know the name of the chateau, only my family's name, Figeac. I believe it was somewhere further south and my great-grandmother mentioned living in Versailles after this.
Then your search will be difficult - Good luck!!
Your videos allow me to see the world, and for that I am very grateful ♥️
Beautiful! Thank you for showing.👍💕
I love the back roads, you never know what you will find, thank you so very much for sharing yours , love and prayers from Indiana, U.S.A.
That place was gorgeous!! Oh how I wish you could have gotten in there. Thank you for taking us on tour again Oddie! Always love seeing places you don't see in magazines or on tv. Great vid as always! ♥️♥️
Vehicle defiately- beyond repair. So enjoy your channel. Love the architecture & tour ! ty.
Absolutely loved this!!!! Thank you for the upload. Having been raised in Metz Lorraine the first seven years of my life, I appreciate viewing old chateau. My dad and I enjoyed the black forest hotel tour. Nice work as always. Peace.
The second vehicle was definitely the my vote for restoration. So traditional, quaint...makes me wanna move to France! 💋... gorgeous chateaus....places that treasure time, cherish tradition and architecture 💗
Another great Oddy Blah 👌🏼 I enjoy the small villages and hamlets as well. 🍺🍺
My friend Mr.Oddie listen I always check you out on sunday you must forgive me.The weather here in Boston from temp to the color of the trees I got on my motorcycle and went MIA for a bit it was wonderful.Now I can catch up .Cant wait to watch this. Thanks Mr.Oddie..
Thank you. Brings back memories. We took bus tours an school trips to France. We took a bus tour to Paris too in the late 70s. I have never forgotten the coed bathroom in McDonald's. Needless to say I went back an made my husband go with me. At 16 I wasn't old enough to deal with it.
This tour is great, but too short.The empty chataeu was Maybe looted or wrecked by the German and allied occupations??🇺🇸🇬🇧🇩🇪🇫🇷
I was born in Châteauroux, France in 1960. We returned to the US in 1962, aboard the SS United States. I'd love to see what that town looks like today as all I've ever seen are old black and white photos my parents took and kept. Thanks for the wonderful travelogue. Especially enjoyed the carousel.
Back roads are the best! Thanks Oddie💋💋❤️❤️🌹
I myself love your tours love your videos thank you ODDy and oddett
What a beautiful little town...and tour. That is a Cinderella castle for sure 💗👑 The treasures and history it must hold. Thank you 😊
I could almost feel the sunshine my friend!💜 I am with you...throw a dart at a map, rent a car. Roll into some little town on market day and buy some food for a picnic!
Thanks so much for sharing your amazing adventures, it is such a treat! That carousel was magnificent ❤ love u Oddie
Thank you Sara - very kind feedback and much appreciated! :)
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved travelling with you today, all from the comforts of my own home. You made a great tour guide! I loved the postcards, very cool. Keep up the great work, thank you.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Nancy - very much appreciated :)
Nothing like old money spent correctly. So amazing and beautiful!! 💘 The carousel in the beginning is very beautiful aswell. Really enjoyed watching this!! Thank you Oddie 😃
Glad you enjoyed it Katie, thanks :)
Thank you so kindly,for the Sunday stroll! That was the most enchanted,Lovely home I have ever seen,! Can you imagine the
Wood workmanship,Marble, and treasures in that home, The Stairwells!WOW! Oh to bad you both could not get in...but I can dream of its magnificent. I thank you.
the architecture details are amazing. and the carasel i 👍 beautiful town oddie😎
I prefer to see things that make you want to connect to its past. This surely does the trick. This is a magnificent tour you provided for us. Simply put, this is breathtaking! Thank you.
Thanks for your very kind feedback Barb, I appreciate it :)
Fascinating town,lovely buildings,thank you again for ur time.
My favorite part of seeing. Europe is the old buildings and architecture. Gorgeous and so much fun to find them. I’m with you Oddie I’d rather go when and where there are few people and tourists.
That was incredible. Beautiful backroad journey. Thanks for sharing with us... very nice.
Thanks again for the awesome vids Oddie. I'm not a traveller due to chronic vertigo but you manage to take me along on yours everytime, magic ❤️
Love beautiful ❤️ building and such thanks
Dear Oddie, loved this and want to see inside that chateau so much. The town appeared so peaceful. Thanks for showing us all this.
LOVED THIS, ODDY! Wonderful architecture on those old buildings/castles!
The home the lady had built for herself is not only lovely but intriguing. My father had a WW11 Willys jeep truck. He used to let us ride in the bed on short trips. He used the jeep to plow our drive way and help other people out from under the snow. Well worth restoring.
Oddie, I love all you do. You keep it fresh and so interesting 👌😉. Spot on. Thank you for all the work you put into all your videos. Much love 💖
Thanks for your very kind feedback Kelly, I appreciate it :)
hi Oddie!! it's Nicol a
from Maine here in the US and it's been far too long since we have spoken!!! I just wanted to say I loved the idea to put books inside an old telephone booth!! so creative to repurpose for this idea!!! what a beautiful little town it has reminded me of the sleepy little towns in northern Maine! take care Sir Oddie and keep em coming!!
I love your tours! I can't really travel anymore, so visiting these places with you is an excellent way to enjoy these remarkable places!
Oddites that place has magic
What a gorgeous chateau! Perhaps you will be able to visit the inside one day in the future. I’ve enjoyed all of your videos.
Most excellent! Sunday morning and an Oddie vid! The chateau is fascinating. I, too, would love to see what's inside it. I love the variety of vids you provide us with. Just keep it up! Thanks, Oddie!
Maaarvelous! ❤️💕💖 this video, great relaxing trip!! Thanks for taking us along on a mini vacay! 👍😊😘🥰
I am excited for you to have a chance to enter. Absolutely beautiful charming. Thank you for the tour!!!
Thank you so much!
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU ODDIE!!!!! THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO JUST EXPLORE THE WORLD BACK ROADS & WHAT NOT!!!!! THANKS AGAIN MY DEAR ODDIE!!!!!
Stunning carousel. Such a beautiful visit and Town thanks for sharing.
I would give anything to see inside! All these buildings are absolutely majestic! Thank you for all the amazing work you do!
This was so nice!! Really enjoyed watching and listening. Thank you.
Omgggg i want to see...i love beautiful architecture ...and the history behind the property
Hi Oddie!!! I enjoyed your video today. Very interesting. Have a happy day. A fan&friend from USA. DiDi
I love it when you take us to different places in Europe...I so miss living in Germany I was lucky enough to go there when my husband was stationed in Gelnhousen...had we never got married I wouldn't have ever been out of the States...I have been blessed to be able to see all that I did hugs Lynn Weasenforth 💯💜💛💙🌹
Thanks for your very kind feedback Melinda, happy the tours bring back some pleasant memories!
Loved the tour Beautiful ...thank you so much for taking us along Lovely to be able to travel from afar Enjoy all your work...and looking forward to the upcoming events (:
Thanks for your very kind feedback Carole, I appreciate it :)
What a lovely tour! Thank you for warning us about those package deals! And Oddie I pray that you do recieve an opportunity to go inside the chateau. It's so enchanting! And it might be evp heaven💀
Thank you! It was wonderful! Looking forward to the future videos 😁👍
Sometimes we find a place that slumbers in the back of our minds...and on rare occasions in our harts as well!!! This, my friend, seems to be the one for you!!! It is bittersweet to find them...and to know we can't own them the way it owns you!!!
I love your videos of your travels, it's good of you to share them with us.
28 seconds in,& I love it already!!! My DREAM PLACE!!! Thanks to you, I'm there right now!!!!💖💖
Enchanting Chateau..💓💓💓
All of my life, I've wanted to see Paris!!! ObsoleteOddity, you're taking me there no!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!🗼🗼🗼🗼👏💖
We have those lil libraries all around the U.S. is small towns. Love them.
That we do.
Bigger too. 1 just down from Stephen King
Ah, beautiful day!! Got up with my morning coffee, and lo, Oddie's been touring again. I wholeheartedly agree, I would like to make my own way as to touring. Guides show what they think you're interested in. Only I know what really interests me. Usually, the glit and glitter attracts, but the people and their ways of living, are far more interesting to me. The palace was interesting in its structure. But as to the remnants inside, the Nazis were known for looting about everything of interest or value where ever they went, as were the allied forces to some degree. Love the carousel! Beautiful and well cared for. And not just horses, but camels and giraffes too. Lovely. Ah, but the jewel of the tour, the country chateaux. Whats to say. Beautiful!! So lovely in its structure and architectural design. So glad you recorded this. It gives me time to view it slowly and repeatedly, absorbing all of it. Like a fine meal that you linger over, relishing each bite. Its a tour also through the mind of the designer, his knowledge of structure and support, as well as pleasing line and beauty. They built so well then. And yes, would desperately love to see the inside. Hopefully, it's possible;e in the future!! So sad that it's not being better cared for. Natures habit is to remove anything not native to nature. And it is quite efficient at it. One only has to see Detroit, Michigan, here in the states to understand that, as well as other places. As to the Jeeps, I'm thinking one was bought to restore the other, but something derailed the effort. Finances or death? Who's to know!! A fine and lovely presentation as always, dear Oddie and Oddete. But, and I must agree, much too short. But then, the care you put into them, they all seem too short. Ah, but with age comes patience, so I'll wait for the next and go touring with you again soon. Have a fine one, and God Bless !!
Thanks for your very kind feedback Terry, I appreciate it :)
You're right, I had forgotten about the nazi plundering, that and the French Revolution would account for it's absence of original interior furnishings.
Some viewers have sent me additional information, and it appears that the
château, although still furnished, (complete with many taxidermy
specimens!) is in a bad state of decay inside; and the owner refuses to
sell or bequeath it...preferring it to rot into the ground.
Cheers my friend, have a great week,
Oddie
@@ObsoleteOddity Which means, I assume, that no one gains entrance to see its remains. Must be some leaks in the grand lady your camera doesn't show. Looked sound enough from the outside, or he just doesn't want to be bothered. So sad to know she will just rot away. Sad ending to a beautiful structure !!
@@flatlander1377 Stay tuned Terry, interesting developments will bring further surprises! Yes it certainly looks solid on the outside, but obviously the roof has not been maintained, which spells doom for any building.
Your commentary and chatting is very enduring. And intelligent too! I am very much at home and don't have much company so you keep me company through your videos. Of course the exploring you do is very interesting.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback Helen - much appreciated :)
Wow! That place is incredible! Just gorgeously stunning!! Thank you for sharing this! 😍😍😍
Thanks for watching!
I love castles and this chateau is definitely something I would love to explore. I'm sure there's some very interesting things inside. I don't understand why such a lovely chateau such as this just sits for many decades, it looks very useful. It's a shame to let something like this just sit.
Awesome video!
I wanted to pack my bags, then I remember my bank account! haha
Thanks for sharing! 💙
Thank you for a delightful tour of France off of the beaten path.
I love all your videos keep them up! 😄
I enjoy these tours x
If you ever do make it into that Chateau, I want to see the video(s) of it. I love all of your tours and the historical videos and the reading of the fairytales. I would love for them to be put on DVDs. I'd buy them for sure. Thanks so much.
Oddie, I couldn't agree more with your introduction. I have spent literally years roaming the continent. So many treasures to be found off the tourist track. This is the reason I will have nothing to do with Brexiteers, I will never forgive the little englanders. My partner and I wanted to move to rural France at some point. I don't do cities any more either. I found the Palace of Versailles very disappointing.
They're not actually Willys jeeps, they're Hodgkiss's built under licence in France after WW2. There are a number of ways to identify them but I can't remember them precisely.
Thank you for this lovely tour. I have found this week so terribly depressing with the awful events here at home and abroad. One top of that we lost our beloved bunny boy, Mr Snowy Snowdrop. He'd been a part of our family for 10 years since we rescued him so our hearts are broken at the moment.
Sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved kitty, it's heartbreaking I know.
Thanks for the info, I didn't even know about Hodgkiss. How come it says WILLYS under the windscreen? Or was that other company allowed to use the name?
@@ObsoleteOddity Thank you Oddie, you're very kind. As the Hodgkiss and Willys are pretty much identical I wouldn't want to bet my house on guessing exactly which it actually is but most parts are bolt on and interchangeable. I seem to remember something about one type having 'bolt up' wheels (Hodgkiss) and the other having welded ones. These look like civilian utility vehicles which I'd guess are post war. As Willys couldn't possibly produce the huge numbers needed during WW2 the manufacturing was licensed out to lots of companies like Ford and Chrysler. American built versions have a maker's plate on the passenger side dashboard but as you can buy repros they're not always reliable. The American built versions are more expensive than the French ones. I met a clever guy in Normandy who had popped a Willys body onto a Suzuki jeep chassis as it's more modern. The purists are probably having fits at this 😊 I did a small project during my degree looking at changes in production to arm the allies during WW2. As it was a joint project we chose the Jeep to get the boys interested 😁
Oh, my Mr Snowy was a bunny. He was such a huge character all packed into a tiny but fierce body. Anyone who has shared there home with a bunny will, I'm sure agree. I miss him so much ❤
@@PurityVendetta Well you certainly seem to know your vehicle facts (do you remember the card games with different types of vehicles?) Well the first jeep did have a metal patent plate on the passenger side @7:23, so maybe that is a WILLYS?
Sorry for the mix up, I naturally assumed cat as I didn't realise rabbits lived so long. It must have been the love you both gave him.
@@ObsoleteOddity Thank you again Oddie. Everyone was so surprised when we told them how old Snowy was. We used to take him everywhere on holiday and he was loved to the moon and back.
On the Jeep subject, I had to do the assignment with two boys and had to find a subject they liked to keep up there enthusiasm 😉 I have to admit though, I found out so much about the roles of women in industry as the US and UK geared up for war. I still have an amazing collection of women working in traditionally make jobs in industry. It inspired me to learn lots more. If you go to any of the war museums in France look at the proofing marks on German artillery like PAK88's. Interestingly the marks show that much of these guns were still in use in the French army well into the 1960's. If you get far enough north please check out the huge U Boat base on the bay near La Rochelle. It's the one they filmed Das Boot in.
Looking forward to seeing more of your French adventure ❤
That house next to the hotel de Ville WAS UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL! The windows alone were BREATHTAKING! LOVE YOUR TASTE ODDIE, WE ARE TWO OF THE SAME GRAPEVINE!
So fabulous Oddie! My late bro had a Scrambler that looked alot Iike that...Willy? Jeep? IDK but his was rainbow colored! Crazy. We used to race a bit. His Scrambler my Demon. 40 yrs ago. Ugh. So long ago. Loved this vid! So much history overseas. That hasn't been wiped out. Halloween. Fall. My favorite time of year. Can't wait for your other stuff! I hope Nessie makes a scary appearance lol! Thanks Oddie👻🎃☠️🦕
Thanks for your very kind feedback Laura, I appreciate it :)
It's crazy when you have a memory that feels like last week, only to realise just how many decades have passed.
Pure magic ✨ and..I’m good and jealous now. ♥️ thx for letting us tag along 😉
This upload about travelling through France has been so enjoyable. What beautiful towns! The architecture of the Chateau was breathtaking! Thank you for taking us along.
I ADORE that Chateau. In the US property records are public record and most counties have their info accessible online. I do not know if there is an equivalent in France but whenever I see a place I am interested in I usually Google, county name, state name & Parcel Search and can find the site (each county is different). Good luck finding out information.
I like when you go on tours, easy way to live vicariously through you! THANK YOU ODDIE!!!!
