Hai Lesley . i'm moslem from Indonesia. Sangat menikmati video anda, terutama di menit 25.32 anda membahas Mekkah dan masjid dengan Ka'bah nya. wow anda memang petualang hebat.
It always fascinates me how the French treat other people's property with respect. No vandalism, just natural decay.⏳️🥀 I've said it many times, but you guys are the best. It is a real privilege to watch your videos. No matter how bad a day I had, they heal the soul. ❤
So very true. It’s evident that Leslie and Danny put their hearts into everything they do. Their respect and genuine concern for each residence they explore is heartwarming. They truly are gentleman of the highest integrity. Love them. Xx
@@fabiblablabla1255 No, no, you didn't understand. I meant French, not Danny.:) If the castle was in my country everything would be stolen and vandalised. :(
It would be so cool if one of the children joined you. The stories would be absolutely incredible to listen to. Another awesome video, guys. Keep it up. I'll just sit in Michigan, USA and live vicariously thru you.
Another adventure into a French castle. So many treasures left behind. The pictures. Why would you leave family memories behind? This is a real time capsule. So many unique antiques. Give the place a good dusting, and rearrange the furniture, and it could be livable. Thank You, Lesley and Danny for your patience, and great filming. Your respect for the property shows in your narration, and careful examinations of the objects.
@@frontenac5083if a home has truly been abandoned with personal items still in the home, the memories of those that lived in the home have been abandoned too. If the home is owned by the family and just unoccupied, it may be a different story. But, IMO, if they are letting everything decay, the respect for those memories is already gone. Explorers can document it, so the items and possible memories are not. It’s being memorialized before it is gone. Perhaps one day, a grandchild or grandniece of someone who lived in these homes will come across it and understand their ancestors better. I’m not saying I agree with trespassing. I just don’t think recording without destroying, moving, or removing items is inherently disrespectful. It’s basically like a paid tour of a historic home. There’s so many objects in this particular one that literal antiques being left to decay away-that to me is far more disrespectful, but it’s not up to explorers like this to remove these items. Many of these homes aren’t even owned anymore-they were intentionally abandoned, got stuck in probate issues, or those that could have inherited or passed it on couldn’t afford to maintain in. I live in VA and there’s a ton of homes like this on blocks with a ton of land, the person bought the land, but wants nothing to do with the historical buildings on the properties, so they just ignore them, let woods grow around them, and they slowly collapse in on themselves.
Again, a great video. The overhead light in the dining is made from a (never to be used again!) spinning wheel. Also the light in the old kitchen was recycled from an oxen yoke. I really like the way this family upcycled there un-useful items into something new and purposeful. That chair on the landing of the stairs was placed by window. Do you suppose that the family members may have used that to observe nature or the comings/goings of visitors? It was kinda strange to see the sewing machine in the parlour...can't imagine those kind of chores being done in a formal living room. You do such an excellent job documenting these place of interest. Thank you so much for keep all your viewers entertained, Leslie and Danny.
You always find the best and coolest places to explore. Your videos never disappoint, and your brother has great videos also. You two really gave great attention to everything inside this castle, I Absolutely love it .
Hi Lesley and Danny, I have to say when you showed the picture of the chateau back in the day, to now, what a huge difference. It will always amaze me, on how this could happen. Over the years of following you, you have told us, due to taxes, money, whatever, is to why these beautiful homes become abandoned. However, it is still sad, especially when there are photographs left behind. I wonder what year the original wallpaper was put up, it looked in perfect condition. What a great find thanks guys. Love from N.Y
I appreciate the synchronicity between the two of you - one filming and the other explaining. It was a well-coordinated effort that made the experience enjoyable. Keep up the great work!
UN CASTILLO FANTÁSTICO Y ABANDONADO🥺...CUANTOS RECUERDOS Y NOSTALGIA...SIENTO MUCHO POR TODOS ESOS ANIMALES QUE MURIERON🥺😣Y PARA NADA, TOTAL ALLÍ QUEDARON OLVIDADOS...GRACIAS POR OTRO VIAJE EXTRAORDINARIO...SALUDOS CORDIALES Y FELIZ NAVIDAD PARA TODOS🎄🎉🎁🙏🙋♀️💪
What such natural beauty of the castle. It tells a story of time long ago. It would be nice to preserve the castle back to it's hidden treasures of beautiful architectural splender. And turn it into a museum for future generations to see and enjoy. Beautiful castle holds it's place to tell their stories. Thank you fo posting!!! ❤😊
I love your explores. You find such beautiful places and present them so beautifully . You are so careful with touching and showing things. ❤ From Texas 🇨🇱🤠
It always makes me wonder what happened to the people that left and why and where did they go? Kinda drives me crazy for a few minutes. Such a wonderful job you all did on this adventure. Love your videos
What a wonderful place! Impressive artifacts! I love the painted walls ,the paintings and the embroidery! Thank you, Lesley and Danny, for this great exploration! You are the best!❤
Another great job Lesley ans Danny. This one is never comming back. After his death no onewanted to live there. I wonder how many people lived there through the years. Who built it ? I hope for the most part they all were happy. We will never know. That flintlock looked really old. To bad all the antiques are rotting away. When there all gone there gone for ever. Never to return. Thats something I just dont understand. Very sad. I haved watched bros of decay for years now. You two always get me. Good job Stay safe See you next week.
When I was growing up, we lived in a house where you had to go through one bedroom to get to the others. Trust me, it's the bane of a teenager's existence.😳
Hey dear Lesley, I just happened to find your indication of a new BrosofDecay-video this evening. Well, how great is that, bro! - The picture is looking very interesting with that fully furnished room and the old items visible on the table, - and these many books. - I am already excited to see your video and listen to your background information. Stay safe and wishing you all the best and a very blessed Advent. Peace and kindest regards.
Hi Lesley, When you were looking at the bedroom with the long pictures on the bed (at 1:02:24), that had the photo on the bottom left corner, it looks like someone had broken out the glass and stole the war medal that was on the top right. There's only a shadow left of it. It Irks me when someone steals something precious like that.
Awesome place full of treasure.The muzzle loader rifle is from the 17hundreds,the needle work pictures are exquisite and exquisite ,love the furniture,wall papers,drapes and chandeliers truly avast treasure left to decay is so sad .I wonder why it was all left behind.You guys are great ,thank you.Have a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.👍❤️❤️🇺🇸
It reminds me our our old house in the mountain province in Philippines. I went on a month vacation on my dad's land and fast forward, I went back to the place where our very old house was standing when we were just kids. I cried a look back, I really missed my dad and the place. It's different feelings. I felt like traveling to the past. It made me sad seriously. 😢
Thanks again Bros of decay showing me untouched Abandoned 17th Century Castle-that interested when you Found An African Art collection so much History in that Castle back in them days must been beautiful
YOU HAVE MADE IT TO #1 EXPLORER IN MY BOOK!!!! YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT!! IM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CHANNEL ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s really not that uncommon. My husband runs an auction house and we clean out estates. The majority of the time it’s one of the children or relatives that received the home on passing and are not interested in keeping the house. Or we get called in by lawyers that working on the estate and any debts involved. There are certain things like pictures, war medals, and things like that that we will set aside and let any family members know that we have it. It is RARELY wanted. Some antique furniture is damn impossible to sell unless in impeccable condition (like chairs and sofas.) Cabinets and stuff like that are more likely to sell, beds too, but honestly in my area you just aren’t going to get much. We’re in rural VA, and a LOT of people that inherited their Victorian parents homes are passing away, so the market is flooded with the stuff. Most young people just don’t want that kind of furniture. Heavy as heck, brown, etc. personally I love it, and it pains me a bit when someone who I know is going to paint it or convert it into something else wins it. But in an age where people move all the time, in and out of states, countries… furniture like that just becomes more of a burden. All the artwork here and African objects pains me to see. That cabinet at 1:06:53 is absolutely GORGEOUS. I think that piece would actually fetch a pretty penny. I have an 1890s organ in my dining room because I just couldn’t bare trashing it. It’s in GREAT condition, tons of carving. Sure it’s nothing super fancy, but it looks a million times better than stuff made today. I have a few other pieces too. I have a civil war (1860s) dresser upstairs, and another late 1890s kitchen hutch
Very cozy atmosphere. I love the hard lighting created in the dark small rooms by your camera light because you are closer to the objects which forms dark shadows on the walls. It adds to the eerie atmosphere. I remember Franks currency growing up in Belgium in the 1970's and 1980's. Yes that Islamic stone building is in Mecca but it is called the Kabbah. I also find the picture of the dark wolf like animal chained at the leg interesting. It looks like one of those supernatural red eye werewolves that many people report seeing. I also saw three of them in the 1990's. Those VHS tapes are like yesterday to me. More interesting is the earlier 20th century objects and pictures which I agree are likely to be the owners parents. It makes me wonder what his parents from that earlier time period would have made of the interracial marriage of their son with an African woman.
Amazing antique and vintage items left behind. I wonder what happened to make the family leave everything behind. I pray it gets cleaned out and the items are preserved. I wonder it the spears and long beautiful instrument was gifted to him by his wife's village. Just pure speculation. Going to share with my friends from Africa and seek their thoughts. Thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey.
Absolutely LOVED this explore!!!!!!💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️Enjoyed it very much!!!!! Thank~you!!!! Stay safe guys, and be careful of the bees!!!!🐝🐝🐝and the spiders🕷🕸🕷!!! Always look forward to your videos!!! From somewhere in the U.S.A.❤
Leslie, @ about 20:00 It's a Black Powder Gun & Danni was right they ARE used for Hunting even to this day! Here in the USA we have Black Powder Season you can only hunt with them, then later the regular gun season starts in most states. Also brand new Black Powder Guns are still made.
Hey Lesley and Danny your new subscriber here. Thank you so much for doing this video there were a lot of memories in this abandoned and haunted castle you guys so brave to explore the place I wonder why they left this place but to be honest there is no way for me to live this place alone lol. Take care guys and love to see more of yours, this is my kind of things please come to explore in the UK sometimes.
This is an incredible place. Nothing can beat French castles. Well, Portuguese manors, maybe. A bit clarification about the spears. A javelin is made fro throwing, and a spear is used in hand-to-hand combat. So the small one with the arrow head is a javelin, the others are spears.
Hola Lesly que narración tan correcta e interesante. Que bonito castillo!!! Gracias a ti y a Danny por su arduo trabajo. Les envío saludos cordiales de Coahuila, México.
I really hate when people kill animals for pleasure 😢😢😢😢😢😢it's very sad and it brings a darkness to any place but there's other beautiful things there and you must be careful of artifacts because they can carry spirits
I watted all wekend fore you about time to say you must ben looken hard to find somthen good thank you bros of decay i will be home to wartch the new video make it a good one and make it a long one to if you can
Vous êtes tellement respectueux envers les lieux que vous visitez. J'admire vos risques pour partager pour nos yeux sans voyager !!! Merci beaucoup pour le partage !!! ❤
Hello Leslie I am a new followers to your channel. The places you explore are beautiful and I enjoy the adventure. Look forward to watching more. I send you greetings from America.
Hi Lesley & Danny, 😊 Wow, Abandoned 17th Century Castle in France!! It was a Real Shame that Everything is Left to Decay!! The Village should come in & Save Everything!! My Opinion is the Father had All the Paintings he did & Furniture from France & the son Patrick had the Chinese Things, & the Mother was African & All the Stuff & Including the African Room was from the Mother!! @ 8:06 on the Banister of the stairs was a Leopard Skin!! @ 41:57 that thing was for Maps, Scriptures or Paintings!! @ 42:59 was a Helmet...maybe from the War!! @ 45:52 this headpiece with Horns was from a Mountain Goat!! @ 46:04 Goat Hanger @ 46:28 Largest Bee Hive, I Ever Seen!! @ 105:29 Danny was Right it is a Fox!! Now I Loved so Many Things in this Castle: Puffy Fish, Shells, Wall Paintings, Butterfly Pictures, Carved Chairs, Dressers, Dishes, Lights & Chandelier, Chinese Paper Umbrella on the Ceiling with Leaf Design & All the Embroidery Pictures!! Thanks Lesley & Danny for the Absolutely Beautiful Castle Tour & for Both Your Info on It!!❤ Take Care & a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey, have a Wonderful Evening!! ❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣
I love what you are doing and the way you treat all the things in the place thank you for all that beautiful place that you and yous partner show us you are the best off the best 💯👋But please take care off you wen you are going in the old place we love you in Montréal Canada
Check out those beautiful green curtains and the white lace one in the middle! Love them!, and the kinda pointy curved ceilings in the other rooms! 23:46
I start to see your vid only from a few days ago, this is 17 Jan 2024, and i get really entertained. Yes true that one of the carpet is Mecca. Just info, For us as Muslims, we maynot put that as something to always step on, but usually we use that for rug for prayer, to do salat.
❤ I believe the man's daughter was the artist. Her name is Michelle Mourin and she lives Maine USA. I feel like the family left likely because they couldn't afford living there or hated living in a castle but meant to return or for the kids to return one day. I can't imagine living in a cold castle with a lack of modern conveniences and far from everything would be much fun. It's interesting to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Not this day and age.

What you call "adventure" the law calls "trespassing".
Why you would go through others' family memories uninvited is the real question.

From a Swedish subscriber, thank you for this upload. A fascinating tour in this old French castle. I like that you, Lesley, is wearing Fjällräven.
I had to look up Fjalraven. Never heard of, but sold in US at REI! Cool.

As an African it's good to see so many African artifacts inside a French castle... He literally brought African tradition and culture around him.
That was a great explore! Loved all of the woodwork! So sad that it is left to decay. Wish someone would restore it!
What an incredible man he was such a curios explorer that had an exciting and fulfilling life thank you for sharing ❤

I’m sure money has a lot to do with the deterioration.

The drone shots were amazing at the opening!
I'm watching now. It boggles my mind that there's no family members that could rescue all those beautiful antiques.

What a fascinating find .
What a beautiful old castle 🏰. It is very nice 👌 😊.
Thanks for everything you guys do and specially showing the carpets 🙏💜
Please show more carpets 😊
What a intriguing castle and there seems to be so much mystery surrounding the family that lived there
Incredible, awesome ❤❤❤

Hi Lesley & Danny, 😊 Wow, Abandoned 17th Century Castle in France!!
It was a Real Shame that Everything is Left to Decay!! The Village should come in & Save Everything!!
My Opinion is the Father had All the Paintings he did & Furniture from France & the son Patrick had the Chinese Things, &
the Mother was African & All the Stuff & Including the African Room was from the Mother!!
@ 8:06 on the Banister of the stairs was a Leopard Skin!!
@ 41:57 that thing was for Maps, Scriptures or Paintings!!
@ 42:59 was a Helmet...maybe from the War!!
@ 45:52 this headpiece with Horns was from a Mountain Goat!!
@ 46:04 Goat Hanger
@ 46:28 Largest Bee Hive, I Ever Seen!!
@ 105:29 Danny was Right it is a Fox!!
Now I Loved so Many Things in this Castle: Puffy Fish, Shells, Wall Paintings, Butterfly Pictures, Carved Chairs, Dressers, Dishes, Lights & Chandelier, Chinese Paper Umbrella on the Ceiling with Leaf Design & All the Embroidery Pictures!!
Thanks Lesley & Danny for the Absolutely Beautiful Castle Tour & for Both Your Info on It!!❤
Take Care & a Safe Trip to Your Next Journey, have a Wonderful Evening!! ❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣

Check out those beautiful green curtains and the white lace one in the middle! Love them!, and the kinda pointy curved ceilings in the other rooms! 23:46
I really enjoy your show!
Thank you
I start to see your vid only from a few days ago, this is 17 Jan 2024, and i get really entertained. Yes true that one of the carpet is Mecca. Just info, For us as Muslims, we maynot put that as something to always step on, but usually we use that for rug for prayer, to do salat.
❤ I believe the man's daughter was the artist. Her name is Michelle Mourin and she lives Maine USA. I feel like the family left likely because they couldn't afford living there or hated living in a castle but meant to return or for the kids to return one day. I can't imagine living in a cold castle with a lack of modern conveniences and far from everything would be much fun. It's interesting to visit but I wouldn't want to live there. Not this day and age.
I don't think so. Different spelling and she does not look biracial.

❤ I wonder if the open filled suitcase was more likely not yet unpacked. He wasn't leaving, he'd arrived but maybe did unpack right away.
Thank you,guys 😊
I like to imagine how it looked in its prime before decay etc.
Very cool...
