We explore an abandoned French mansion.
We travel to the south of France in the humid summer heat to visit a 13th century fortified castle… It’s moats are now dry and its drawbridge long gone, its south and west wings were transformed during the renaissance, creating much of what remains here today.
It has been home to the same family for decades, passed down through the generations.
The final heir was a successful architect, with a passion for his work, which is proudly displayed throughout the home.
As we explore each finely decorated room,
amongst the heirlooms and the oddities, we discover mysterious symbols and hooded cloaks, perhaps the mark of a secret society.
What will come of the rich history within these walls and the irreplaceable contents?
Each room trapped so far back in the past.
Join us inside this prestigious restored castle and find out what other secrets it holds inside…

Here in America we are living in such a chaotic world that it is a pleasure to watch your videos to take away the problems of todays world.
My friends in Scotland say it's no different there than here. Food prices went up, rents gone up, mine here in Indiana just raised another $50 but my income still the same. We poor will be on the streets one day if this keeps up. Sometimes I'd rather live in a cold castle then a place where you have no peace and quiet and no one ever fixes anything. That place would definitely have to be updated big time for someone now. Massive but beautiful! You cant afford the candles anymore and the wood for the fireplaces, back 100yrs ago the trees were many and today, doesn't pay to burn wood 24-7 like then.
It's pretty bad here in the UK too. A lot of us struggling to buy food as it's gone up as has our energy bills and petrol (gas). These exploring videos are the way I escape too. Hope it eases a bit for you over there soon.
What a nice video! You inspire me to make videos aswell, keep on exploring! ✌🏼 ^^
A cup of orange stress tea, this couple, and a hot bath after a stress filled day of capitalism and being female.

I think men are finding it every bit as difficult to cope in this world which has gone crazy .. In fact, I really feel for my husband having to deal with the bitch-faced, gender-entitled women he has to work with. It's a screwed-up world and it's getting tougher and tougher regardless of gender.
letum quam lutum = dead before defeated. Charlex X, King of France from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830. Excellent explore. Thanks for sharing.
PLEASE, Don't smear your fingers all over the old photos and film strips...I actually gasped when you carelessly yanked up antique books trying to "flip through" them. Antique books grow brittle from age and extremes in heat and cold they ear easily and the bindings and glue comes undone. One special original first edition could well pay for the estate. There may be family members who hope to own or sell these items for much needed cash because the later generations are not financially well off as their former relations were. The truth is no one lives there, but that doesn't mean it has no owners. A will working it's way through the Courts and if there is arguing between family members contesting the estate or there is some beaurocrat diligently searching for a long lost relation...this can go on for years. If relatives are located many of these items could be sold to cover the inevitable tax burden. Irrespective of all this...you don't own these things. Please be respectful of them. I don't mean to sound hyper-critical. Just be aware of the fact that at some point this was an exquisite, beautifully vibrant home built with a lot of hard work and love.
Agreed
I can imagine this place when it was full of servants and families and life. I felt such sadness while you were going through seeing the disrepair and decay. These beautiful things meant so much to the families that lived here. You did a wonderful job of showing us into their lives of a time long forgotten. I can’t image what would lead to the abandonment of everything that was their home for generations.
That black Cape you looked at is called a Cope. It's what a Priest would have worn for certain liturgies and church ceremonies. As this cope is black in pre Vatican 2 days it would have been worn for funeral liturgies. Hope this info helps. Absolutely ❤️ your videos thank you for making them. If you ever get stuck on religious items you find please say and I'll let you know what they are 👍
I believe it has more to do with Freemason.
@@francinesicard464 it hasn't anything to do with freemasons that "cloak" it's liturgical item used by priests for liturgical ceremonies
@@francinesicard464 why do you believe it is part of Free Mason?
Don't you ever feel like you want to put things back into their containers, like the trunk of letters that have been left on the floor lol
Nice place but if you knew what the black & white checker board floors and the snake on the so-called wizard suit means you would know what the occupants were up to. Love from Canada
Sensational! The house and grounds are exquisite. The Decor, the items, the books and the furniture are all amazing! A truly fabulous find. I also love the south of France, it’s beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful explore, I’ve loved every second of it! Xx
What an amazing house. Hard to think about all the different people and how their lives unfolded there. I usually don't watch long explores but I am really glad you guys took the time to give this one the attention it deserved. Thanks guys for knocking it out of the park again.
This is one of the few places you visit that looks like it could actually be rehabilitated! Thanks for the "inspection," guys.

Looks like many rooms were converted into bedsits and flats around 70's and 80's esp those with timber wall divisions and the many bathrooms. Maybe inhabited in recent times since there was a set of ear buds in a drawer.the Curiously what the preserved food was in jars you found but didn't say.
I dont know if its my audio or yours but I hear the guy ok but not the girl's voice on all your videos but not on other explorations.
Good productions, filming and choices of music.
I watch your explorations at night before going to bed. They are my bedtime stories … no politics, world events and drama. Your soothing British voices always calm me.
Same! I love it❤
Me too! ❤
Ideal explore. Huge castle home with secret stairways and secret rooms and so many rooms it went on and on. Woodworks and tons of velvet furniture. Artworks. Loved it all. The estate is large and must have been beautifully kept once with walled areas and big gates. So much here. Thank you. I could tell you enjoyed this place, I sure did. The families who occupied this castle had wonderful and intimately designed living space where young students and children had all they needed surrounding them. What a great place to live in! 💙🌸🐌🌙
I really really didn't want this video to end! Thank you for bringing these beautiful old places to us to enjoy!
Charles X | Palace of Versailles
1757-1836 The son of the Dauphin Louis-Ferdinand of France and Maria Josepha of Saxony, Charles X succeeded his two brothers, Louis XVI and Louis XVIII, to the French throne. He ascended to the throne in 1824 as Charles X and tried to ensure the concrete continuation of the monarchy more than 30 years after the French Revolution.
I love you guys, what a great couple. You guys get to go into the coolest buildings and see firsthand how people lived back in the day. Its amazing. Thank you both for being so much fun to watch. Stay safe and god bless.
From Ontario, Canada
💜🧡💛💚💙❤
Pictures from the the 1930’s and a motion sensor for an alarm doesn’t seem to be abandoned too long
Great exploration as always! The magician's cape is actually a Roman Catholic cope from a funeral vestment set. The dove represents the Holy Spirit.
The portraits with the Roman numerals are the later kings of France..Louis 15th as a child, and after the French Revolution, Louis the 18th and Charles 10th.
The bed with the drapes and canopy is called a lit a la Polonaise.

The FED has lost it and the sad fact is, it's pretty obvious we are headed for hyperinflation. I think stores better have tight security because when people can't afford to feed their families, things might get ugly
Might ? .. have you been grocery shopping lately? Things are already ugly. The best bet for anyone with a brain is to get in on a passive income stream while you still can, doesn't matter which one it is just get on it and stay committed.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading.
@LeeAnne Deardorff I've always wanted to trade crypto but got confused with the fluctuations in price.
@Werner Wilhelm Thank you for this, Will definitely reach out to him. Thanks again 😊😊
Wow! Nicely said indeed no doubt Mr Philip McCarthy is the best step to take following the current situation of the world economy, I have never believed in Bitcoin or crypto currency in all, but this has been a life changing encounter today!!
This was such a beautiful home at one time and so sad to see how it has been trashed. How could this have been allowed to happen to such beautiful and special things
Blown away again Sam and Jess fantastic
The drawings you wondered about were were of the various French kings. Louis le Grand was Louis the XIV, the longest ruling monarch in history, also known as the Sun King. He was very
proud of his nice legs. There was Louis the X111, Louis the XVI, married to Marie Antoinette, both beheaded in the French Revolution, and zi think Charles. X. People would have pictures of the monarchs in their homes.
From the dust we all came and we shall return. Everything in our lives here must become just memories for those who will come after us!
Hello, I am new to your channel and enjoying it. I watch several other Urban Explorers, and enjoy something from each site. Love Old Castles, Old Palatial Homes, and especially all the Antiques and personal effects. Sad all this and the homes go to waste, and are left to rot- except on "film". BTW the book @27:18 has the old oil dipped technique some have revived today and that my friend Susie that makes paper also does beautifully. You float different colored oils on the surface of water in a tub and can then draw/pull oil colors into more complex designs on the surface (like "feathering"), then the paper is pulled through the oil- where it sticks onto the surface. I'm guessing they dipped the inner edge pages after book assembly- but no expert! Not sure what the term is, but paper makers and also people coating objects like guitars, and other objects are using this age old technique in unique cool new ways. The variety is endless and beautiful!
How beautiful....and how sad...all that history and memories and treasures....just left to rot ...🥺
What a amazing place, lot's of stairs Twist and turns loved it thank you Sam and jess for sharing this Wonderful piece of history 🙏👏👏👏👏👏🥰
That is such a beautiful home, I love the antiques and the engravings. I would love to have a home like that. Totally amazing. Thank you Sam and Jess
Love the videos but it would be nice if u told us some of the titles of the books they have, show us the occult robe they have and it’s symbolism, tell us the names of the family members who owned the estate. More detail would be greatly appreciated. What are the latest dated material on site? A newspaper or expiration of food , to give us an idea of when they left
The weird stair case you found at 10:43 would have been servents stairs allowing them to travel through the house unseen as servant were expected to appear when needed and remain unseen the rest of the time.
The room those stairs came off looked like a ladies sitting room where the ladies of the house would gather to sew quietly or entertain female guests. The child's room next door may have been a play room and study space where the children would disappear to while the ladies sat in the sitting room.
That said, I'm no historian so please don't take this as gospel. Just a guess from my own understanding of a household such as this
Love all the furniture and stuff left behind. This leaves so many Questions?
How do u know they never come home?
Who owns it now?
Did they die?
ECT.....
Here in America we can find the history on any property from the 1st owners to present.
Thanks for the video guys!!!! I don't watch these videos cause they always leave so many unanswered questions. This one came across my youtube feed because I'm watching a couple restore a French Chateau.
French property inheritance laws dictate that all children must inherit equals shares. No will nor legal wrangling can over-ride this law, set in place (I believe) during Napoleon's rein. If the siblings do not ALL agree to sell, then the property can not be sold. If by default, the property stays in the family, no one person has responsibility for maintaining it. Most simply walk away because the costs to keep a chateau in good repair are prohibitive. It's archaic and so destructive to national heritage, and heartbreaking to see.
The "Little Box" upstairs is called a tabernacle. It is used to hold the eucharist in many christian churches
Hi Sam, Hi Jess, I just want to tell you that since I discovered your Channel sometime this past year, I have enjoyed a number of explores with you, and I enjoy when Karl is in the mix also. Sam, what I wanted to ask you, is do you also narrarate the YT Channel titled "Depths of Despair"? It's a freaky deaky Paranormal video clips kinda show and if that isn't you Narrarating it, well, my goodness it most CERTAINLY SOUNDS ALIKE TO YOUR VOICE 0 which is very highly enjoyable :) You do a beautiful Intro to every explore, very nicely done. May God continue to Travel with You both :) Cheers, T/Eastern Canada
Yes, that is Sam's voice . at least that's what my voice recognition says...it's a match. ;)
Yes Freemasonry
Fabulous Chateau it should be saved it's a crime to let in rot. The drawings in the frames refer to Kings of France - The X V 111 are roman numerals. ie: Charles X is Charles the 10th, Louis XV111 is Louis the 18th. X = 10/ V = 5/ 1 = 1st/ 11= 2nd/ 111= 3rd etc. Great explore guys.
What I don't understand is why the owners leave things behind, especially those pieces of phenomenal furniture, art objects and paintings. Why not hire a salvage company to come in and take out what can be sold, sell it and not leave it to fall to ruin? I would love to have that huge shelf unit in that first room you went into. Maybe there are no heirs? Because you would think even if the heirs don't want the house, the least they could do is pay someone to empty it and sell the contents.
Most of the paintings and artifacts disappeared since the last Urbex visit.
You’re breaking my heart, not opening the freezer
That was an amazing find. It was like going back in time. I can't believe there was so much stuff there! Lots of rooms and amazing woodwork, wardrobes etc..
Correction is call a pig snout.
The picture on wall with the horses racing it called Steeple Chase.
The desk are called Secretary's.
Last but not least the very tall cabinet with the females on both side they are call Caryatid.
What will happen to this home and its contents? Why isn't the French gov't restoring it?
I love y'alls videos so much! Thank you for sharing this one. The library was amazing!! It makes me a little sad the books are all just left there but still it was beautiful. So glad you found it and can only imagine how incredible it was in person.
The recipe cards were a subscription and they came in the mail monthly.
Too many spiders! I wouldn’t have gone any further!
Lol! You find a secret winding staircase, and all Sam cares about are the rocks! I'd be running up those stairs first thing.
I will never understang why people leave this places and just let it us it doesn't exist. Also because they left very expensive furniture an things all around the house, at least they should try to sell sowething in order to keep alive antiques. Far away, PERU .
I can’t help but hope that someone can claim the property. I can’t bear the thought of all this history moldering into dust.
Please try not to show those spider webs so close and so clear…..and so long…
I always find it very sad if such Propertys will just decay and there is no heir...imagine this walls could Talk...what kind of Storys or Tragedies could this House tell...these Buildings are witnesses of History..i hope somebody will keep this treasure...
Very enjoyable. Love how you both interact. You read each other so well. Bouncing off each other show how much in-tune you are with each other!! Lovely to see.
This heat is killing me right now. Oxygen levels are very low. Struggling somewhat. Oh well, stay indoors with fans blowing hehe 😁😃🤗💜🤗😁see you Monday! Much love guys!
It looks like there has been a bit of cleaning up. What a shame this beautiful building was simply left. What stories it holds, what history it holds. Great job!
You guys find the most unique, amazing places! Thanks for letting us come along!
One of the heraldic shields you showed was from the Marquis de Segonzac. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_de_Segonzac. Perhaps the same person who lived there. Rene de Segonzac was posted to Morocco and became something of a famous naturalist - which would explain all the fossils. The library was magnificent. I hope the present owner will do something to take care of it.
What an absolute travesty that the beautiful furniture and other objects are left to rot - great video thank you.
I love the background music. Sounds familiar, but I can't put my name on the tune. It is from a famous ballet. Is it Swan Lake?
Someone should restore this place
Sam&Jess that's no pigs nose, that's the nose off a wild boar!
Absolutely loved this guys! What a beautiful place with so much history. Sam was like a kid in a candy store with all those fossils, it was nice to hear his excitement when he kept finding them. Thanks for taking us on another amazing tour with you.
Stunning!!! Gorgeous furniture. Not alot of dust. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for sharing.
That little staircase behind the bed might have been for someones personal servant to come to them & help them with dressing etc, posh clothes were not so easy to put on in those days, what with corsets to lace up & bits that had to be pinned into place & sometimes fantastic wigs & hair-pieces to augment what the wearer had naturally. Originally of course the servant would have had to bring jugs of hot water for washing etc.
Good hypothesis! Probably right. I find stuff like that so amazingly interesting!
Absolutely incredible amount of history, i could stay there for days researching them,
Wahhoooooo can't wait for this guys looks good as usual see u in the premier 👍🤘💖
Some of those books in that library are probably worth a fortune.
I feel sad that there was not one surviving relative to collect the family heirlooms.
What a fascinating place. I could spend hours there.
I think he was an architect. Using Google Translate, "Letum Quam Letum" = Death.
"Charles X was King of France from 16 September 1824 until 2 August 1830." Wikipedia
I am curious of how did the furniture were brought in to such remote place. How the materials were brought to build such a massive size building.
Louis le Grand was King Louis the 14th; Louis Quinze=King Louis 15th; Louis Seize = King Louis 16th; Charles X =King Charles the 10th. Louis XVIII=King Louis 18th. The box in the "shrine"/baby's room was likely originally made to hold the Communion elements of water and wine (I'm guessing). It's always so strange to me to see how these properties were simply let go. Thanks for the interesting tour. Great background music, btw.
Kings of France (I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X... Roman numerals). I think the leg guy with big hair was Louis 14th. Yea, lotta Louis.
When an urbex sees a square stool/pillow by the bedside and thinks it’s for stepping up into bed and completely overlooked it’s for kneeling down and praying. 😳
Absolutely beautiful place, I would have loved to be there!!
Amazing tour again. You are so funny when you go Scooby Doo investigator... The Louis picture are of kings The diagram are just the house. I don't think he was an architect. I just love the explore.. You 2 are my favorite guides. I so want to go to Europe. Simply marvelous! Thank you 🐟
I'M A NEW SUBSCRIBER! What an amazing place that was! The amount of bedrooms there were phenomenonal. Some of the beds were beautiful, too. Just a shame that it's standing there rotting away. I absolutely loved this.
Hey guys. Charles X was the last bourbon king of France 1824-1830! The history is very interesting. Great video as usual. ❤
some said the STAIRS BEHIND THE ROOM, ARE FOR SERVANTS, TO CHECK, THE KIDS ARE PROPERLY SLEEPING & NOT TO DISTURB THEM, OPENING THE DOOR
Exactly how I feel America is crumbling sad they don’t care .. sometimes I think about moving to France 😊I Pray about it all the time..
Those lithographs were of French kings!
There were many Louis, the last being Louis XVI, and Charles the 10th. Love your channel but you guys need to read more and educate yourselves more if your going to be going thru historic buildings.
Also, you should close the open windows in these buildings when you can to try to hold the rot back to some degree.
One more thing, you don't seem like readers since you seem to ignore the books most of the time, which i could NOT do, but it would be nice if you would find the first printed page of some of these books and tell us when they were published. some of these books look like they are up to 300 years old. just some helpful advice, I hope.
"letum quam lutum" --- death, then scavenge ??? the motto on the family crest. which depicts a crow eating some kind of carrion. so, kill and plunder? very 13th century indeed.
Christophe de Beaumont was a French Roman Catholic priest who became Archbishop of Paris, France in 1746.
Charles X was a post Revolution King of France following Napoleon. There is a Wiki about him & family.
I lo ed the decor. The dishes were beautiful! I wish we knew the family history on this one. If the last occupant was an architect , more is the pity that his home is not preserved. So sad, so beautiful! I have now subscribed. You two show much care and respect and I appreciate that.
Just know…..somewhere in Texas a girl is saying “Oohhh noooo!” In a bloody poor British accent…. Thank you!
It is amazing the way that they disguise magic wands as screwdrivers these days. Fortunately Jess & I know better. Our vows forbid us to say any more, of course.
I'm not stating this as fact but I saw on some historical show that the windowed room above the bed was used when there was a wedding in royal or high society families. The parents sat in the room on the wedding night to make sure the vows were consummated.
I want to see you try on the cloak!! That would be so cool! Check that out or others of equally unique garments? Especially if it’s a metal knights armour?
The ‘artwork’ on the edges and covers of books is called marbling. It’s created by dropping oil based inks on the surface of water, swirling to create a pattern, and dipping the paper in. The oil clings to the paper and transfers the pattern. It was particularly popular in the Victorian era.
OMG that bed and fireplace. What a waste to see it doomed from ever being glorious again except as an urbex novelty. Oh yeah cheers 🐟🍷
So no one thinks it’s odd that their are tons of abandoned castles and estates throughout the world, where many look like the owners left most of their belongings behind in some sort of rush. There are historians who believe that the serfs revolted against the nobility. It would explain why commoners actually own property. In the past the nobility owned all the property. I hardly think they hall decided of the kindness of their hearts to divi up their land holdings to the poor. Interestingly enough there was an historian in the US who produced the thirteenth amendment he claims was actually ratified. It states that no person holding a title of nobility whether they are born with it or it is granted to them as would be to a squire /lawyer.. the nobility who came to the US dropped their titles and took positions of power ( illegally) if that amendment was ratified. The Boston Brahmins were all of nobility. Every President since Washington has a line to nobility. The 14 presidents before Washington do not. In the US children are not taught about those presidents, one being black. You have to ask yourself what is our true history. There is more going on her than captivating castles
The music that was playing in the background I have heard many times before. I love the piece I just can't remember what the name is or who composed it. Can anyone tell me?
It could be turned into a museum , some rooms were magnificent historically, but I guess the French are not interested as they have too many of them. If the doors were secure and boarded up how exactly did you get in?
You would think paper from 1905 might have got a bit yellowed or brownish even by now? But maybe not if it has been out of the light?
Amei essa viagem no tempo... Parabéns pelo belo trabalho. Saudações do 🇧🇷.
The French left France to come to England as the poor were taking over France and didn't like how they had all the money they moved in to norbury mansion near boxhill surrey
If there os no family who pays the taxes. Wouldn't the city seize it and auction it off and it's belongings
Amazing, Unbelievable and Beautiful
Just love this so very much
Awesome job Sam and Jesse 👏🏻👏🏻
That secret room above the child’s bed gives me creepy vibes….with the wine bottles and chairs…
The owners are very proud of their house and enjoy people exploring it! I've never gotten a message that proclaimed ever! Wow! Those plates were beautiful! My Grandma kept plates like that.
Charles x became king of France and his family where Architects.
The room overlooking the child's room was originally for the nanny. It was made into a wine storage later. It was a bad idea to store wine there as the water heater would make the tempature to high for wine..
That was a real castle! Beautiful. Bet there's alot of spirits flying around that place. Seemed like a evil place. Thanks
Thanks, the rope looks like from the "Order of the Black Sun".
