I laughed so hard when he was asking mysteriously what the story behind it was. I was like, the mystery of how to clean rugs! You beat it, beat it good.
Hi, I agree with Amy. The woven thing is to beat the dust and dirt from carpets and linens. Also, the letter in French you found in one of the rooms talks about quotes for renovation or construction services, choice of materials like various types of stone and marble, and prices for each. The writer tells the reader to get back to him to finalize the order.
Thank you for translating this. Was there a date? I wonder if it was the last person to reside there that wrote (yet didn't send), or maybe he was the builder?
Amazing place! For those curious, I asked a friend who knows Japanese. My screen shots to him were poor quality but he thinks those red wooden signs say something along the lines of ‘there is blue mountain water where you can see dancing wind’ . I tried looking it up with no luck to what that means. According to him it could be a prayer for good fortune. 😄
Thank you so much for appreciating that! I was actually a bit nervous about that because I didn’t want to bore anyone by taking my time… however, the response I’m getting about is overwhelmingly positive! Thanks again
Great video, but one sugestion. Always check the periodicals (newspapers, magazines) you find for the dates on them. Same goes for the old books on the shelves, most of them have the year of publishing in one of a few fist pages.
I agree. As you walked through the house you kept saying “There’s no telling how old these book are.” And I was yelling “Open one up and see the publishing date!” 😁😁😁 Oh, and they’re called “herringbone floors”.
Ideally, the local or federal cultural entities in France would be able to coordinate with the private or trust entities to organize such archival material as might be salvageable, to reclaim for history and the general citizen value of the past, and that other countries do the same for other abandoned sites.
@@MichelleWasyluk9 And in french, the motif (or should I say pattern) of those floors is "chevron" which I think can be said in English too. 🙂 And I was thinking the same thing about the books !
@@lucelaliberte2537 Yes! I have just learned that there is a difference between the herringbone and chevron pattern and these floors are indeed chevron!
The first letter is very difficult to read, although I am fluent in French. The cursive writing gets a little messy at times, but it looks as though it was written Saturday June 29, '96 (I am guessing 1996), and from what I can gather, it is a letter addressing someone leaving the man it is addressed to, and stating something about various things that will be left to him, like horses, and there is some mention of leaving him to be the judge or something. Like I say, it is hard to make out the words. i am not sure if this is a "dear john" letter, or what, but I doubt it would be from any governing body or legal firm, since it is clearly hand written. As I say, I have a very difficult time making out the hand writing, but from the parts I can extract from it, it doesn't really seem like a friendly letter. There's a bit of a "I can no longer do this anymore like when we first met", and "I will leave you so long as you can maintain the cost". Forgive me if I am wrong, but it's a tricky one to read without actually having it in my hand to see closer.
@@tjclarke4604 Or perhaps Joanne Moron would be so kind as to enlighten us all with her wisdom, rather than simply posting a snide comment. My parents always told me if I have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all. You did what you could to interpret the letter, and while I am French Canadian, I also find the letter difficult to read, but still I get the same sentiment from it as you do. Thank you TJ Clarke for taking the time to do your best.
@@tjclarke4604 It's about a handyman quotation about the choice of tiling a surface of leaving just cement. he asks if the owner wants red tiles. The rest is not easy to read.
Hi Jeremy! Just want to let you know that you and Leslie with Bros of Decay are my favorite! You show and express your cares about the abandoned places you show. You're not just showing property for your personal purpose of exploring but also add your personal comments that makes it so interesting! God bless you both and hope you get to continue your exploration and be safe!
I am Brazilian and live in Brazil. I felt so sorry that , in my country, we don’t preserve anything( although our history comes from the 16 th century, besides the history of the original people who lived here( indians) … but , unfortunately, I have to say that never in a million years, this old and expensive furniture, will be still in there. My respect to the French people, and guys like you, who treat this treasure with all the respect that it deserve. Hugs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
Omg this is the most incredible place I've ever seen!!! That furniture is absolutely mind blowing!! I couldn't quit saying " WOW " all the way to the end...wow...imma have to watch it again...just unbelievable...great explore thnku ....
Great video Jeremy! The reason that the walls appear to be kind of strange in places, for example the walls along the stairs, is because they have removed the original paneled walls in places. The strips on the walls going up the stairs is where it would have been attached to the walls. Some of this type of paneling is worth a great deal and can be very ornate. A shame that it has been removed.
I think it had fabric on the walls and someone has simply taken it all down because of the fire risk, or it was damaged and they couldn't afford to replace it. The house is the wrong period architecturally for fully panelled walls which is more 17th or 18th century and the house is 19th. It's Louis Philippe (1830-1850).
Hi Jeremy, the object that looks like a tennis racket is actually a rug beater. Rugs were hung over a line of rope, and this tool was used to dislodge dirt and dust from the area rugs. cheers.
Great work, Jeremy ! You said, "The bed and the cabinet look like they're made of 'Black Mahogany' ". I feel like you meant to say 'Black Walnut', since I've worked with woods/ lumber for 5 decades, and have never heard of Black Mahogany.. But, even with 'Black Walnut', you can still see the grain, which we could not see any of there in the bed or cabinet. I'd say the wood that was used was either African Blackwood or Ebony Wood or Lignum Vitae. My guess is that the bed and cabinet are made of Ebony Wood. Currently, African Blackwood is only used for making musical instruments, but back in the 1600s, 1700s, or 1800s, it's possible that it was used for beds and cabinets like this. I'm not being nit-picky with you, Jeremy. You are absolutely BRILLIANT with all this work your do. I'm SO thankful for YOU ! !♥💐🌎
Hi Jeremy, I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks and I wanted to let you know that I’ve totally been hooked! Not only do I enjoy the homes you’ve portrayed on your channel but the way you’ve narrated your explorations is almost poetic (literally) and even to the music that accompanies your videos! I find myself immersed with every “experience!” I’m living vicariously through you! 😊
Of all the explorers of abandoned buildings I've seen, it is your videos which are the best. The filming, the music and your voice everything. The only thing I'd ask is for you to check the dates of magazines, inside the book covers and letters whilst showing us. Otherwise thank you so much for sharing your adventures, I love it!
France controlled Indochine- Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia until 1950. This may account for the Asian artifacts you’ve come across. Many French citizens worked and traveled to the area.
Another awesome explore! I love the wallpaper in that 1st bedroom & that upholstered bed frame in that other bedroom. I'd have to say right before you went into the other bedrooms next to the staircase on the 2nd floor, you said you were getting a sad ominous kind of feeling. I actually started getting that feeling of heaviness/despair just prior to that when you showed that long narrow hallway that you said led to a staircase & I remained getting that feeling throughout the rest of this house. To be quite honest sometimes it's the shape of a house or room(s) that's actually have been known to draw spiritual energies to it. It's typically the hexagon or half hexagon shaped rooms/buildings that are the ones that draw the spirits to them & this house had quite a few of those rooms upstairs shaped like that. Just thought I'd mention this. Check it out sometime if you want to. I began noticing this after I learned about that a few yrs ago & I've found that it holds true to a large percentage of builds like that. Anyhoo, loved this vid like I do all your vids & thank you, again, for risking it to bring us these awesome places.
That black walnut hand carved cabinet is so beautiful I can't believe it was left behind! Yes I agree that top floor was for servants but that kitchen is so cool! Great job Jeremy!🎄🎄 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄
Fascinating, you are just as passionate about antique and old houses as i am. All these pieces of furniture are worth a lot of money, unbelievable that this is all abandoned, sad!
My husband and I just fell in love with this home. If it were in the States or Canada we'd jump at purchasing and restoring it but since I don't speak much French, and my husband doesn't speak any, we have to just let our hearts break. Thank you Jeremy for showing these majestic homes. Do you show any in Italy or Germany?
Fascinating! You had asked about the 2 long red planks on either side of the over-sized table and mirror. I believe that area, at one time, served as an altar, probably to Buddhism. I'm only at the 11:33 mark, so, back to the video!
The attic was so beautiful! It looked like that last room was cleaned up and staged. Wish you had closed the windows but perhaps someone keeps an eye on it, else there would be a lot more damage in there. Your France explorations are my favorites too. Thanks!
How do you find these incredible places to explore? Is there an App you use? I’m from Tennessee too and would like to find cool places nearby! Thanks, Tim…
What an amazing find surround by the tragedy of a family letting it decay.. The red bedroom was one of my fav time capsules. I think another trip to explore those attic boxes is needed. :) Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Thank you for the great tour. Loved it! So much stuff left behind. And looks like lots of ppl lived there. Looks like, at one time, there was lots of entertainment going on in this old house. It was probably a place to come and play pool, listen to great music, and enjoy great food too.
This is so cool that pool table and piano. These videos are just a bit creepy. But peaceful and well detailed. I admire your interest in detail very nice.
Your video is just awesome and it's a shame that beautiful mansions are abandoned, where I come from we can only dream of a beautiful house ... Best of luck with your future adventures.
That place is awesome 😎 it's so cool that you guys can go over there and share that history with us you had Steve and big banks with you I'm glad you got to drop this video first
Hello, I have been watching many of your videos and I need to let you know...that in Castles and Chateau's it is very common for them to have what is called a "Sick Room" it is where one would go to be watched over by a Private in house Nurse Maid. This room is one which has a bed, dresser and sink. It is also common to have shown respect for the Nurse Maid to have their picture on a mantel alongside other family and close relative's pictures.
Great video.I think must to be something in local council who owning this house and who was owners during a years.Unbelievable how is still perserved without much damage.Tnxs.
It would be nice to see an abstract or deed (not sure what it's called in France) which would show ownership throughout the years... From the drone footage it shows a house very close... If the people still occupy that one it could provide answers to questions proposed during the video....very interesting and thanks for the video
I've just discovered you and love your video. I love the way you went through the house and respectfully spoke about the rooms and content. Never was there a, Hi Guys, look at this AMMMMAAAZING fireplace and look at these books. They are SOOOOOO OLD. (Think loud, animated voice). Thank you for sharing and being respectful. Because this was/is someone's home and belongings. 👋 from Australia 😊
Love the videos! The small bedroom with the Sink beneath the window was the original personal servants room when the house was build i guess. Easy and fast acces when the man or woman of the house needed them at night. It also seems that there were multiple families living there at One point because of all the beds and how they were positioned. Like the baby beds with the adult beds. Maybe during the war this was the case. If i could i would love to come with you to explore, love this! Sucker for history.
Hi Jeremy, I haven’t scrolled to see if anyone mentioned, but the item in the last room on the third floor is a rug beater. Sometimes for bed clothing too but mostly to beat dust out of rugs that would be hung on a clothing line.
Hi Jeremy, Came across some of your videos this last week, loving them. I’m reminiscing over the ones in France. Many years ago I lived in France for 10 years in a town called Courbevoie in the Hautes de Seine, just outside of Paris. I rented an apartment in an old building. There was the cornice decor all around the ceiling and a black marble fireplace in the living room. Also the flooring which you refer to as triangular, this design is called parquet. The wooden armoires with shelves were typically for linens and blankets, had one of those in my bedroom and I noticed also a common bedside table with the shelf below and the marble top, mine had the pink marble. These pieces and other furniture I bought at a flea market, back then at the Port de Clignancourt, Paris. The cornice, marble fireplaces and parquet are common in old buildings. You would also find spiral staircases going up to other floors. These buildings would have a concierge, a person who was employed to take care of the building and whose living quarters would be on the ground floor. So us not so wealthy folk could also experience some of these fine antiquities. I only wished I could have got a better close up of that letter to help decipher it. Yes watching your videos in France are definitely bringing back memories.
Jeremy you are my favorite, I have watched many videos, I also enjoy Bros of Decay and a few more but you are above all. You are a Great narrator, you should be a narrator for Hollywood sometime, but the most I love from you is the respect you have for life and death. What I have learned from previous friends and family that have passed away is the fact that we don't need to gather so many things, all stays behind and our souls move on. Is not what we gathered what matters the most but what we scattered. On January of 2022 after I had three weeks of pneumonia due to Covid, not knowing if I would live or die since my sister died of Covid, I donated everything I had, I gave all my favorite treasures to friends, neighbors, including a big collection of dolls some with over 50 years of Vintage, collection of shoes, jewelry, furniture, clothing and even a car. I now live a simple life, not worrying about anything, not buying things I don't need, not gathering mementos or anything useless. I am free, I enjoy having family time, enjoy meals with my friends and neighbors, I am a simple soul without the baggage. I Thank The Lord for allowing me to be who I am now. Jesus said " Let your treasures be in heaven..." and that's where I look now, because where my treasures are there is also my heart.
Hi, cool house and video I think you overlooked a wood crib at the top of the second floor where you found the lead pellets. Also in the servants quarters the wicker/bamboo thing you thought was a racket. Was a rug beater. Our ancestors used to beat the area rugs with them to get the dust out out on the porch
The description of the video says abandoned for 30 years, but it feels older than that which the WW1 pictures and other dated items. With the condition it is in i doubt it could have been abandoned this long but with it being in eastern France i was honestly considering a family fleeing WW2, with it being as hidden as it is it survived the war just by being missed by chaos. Anything could have happened to the family to cause them not to return if that was the case. I would imagine after WW2 there was a massive amount of abandoned homes without a known reason why the owners never made it back.
After you go in and do your filming of these places, would you consider closing windows and doors that have been left open to the elements. I’ll admit it is too late for most of the buildings, but it just seems respectful to at least slow down the ongoing deterioration.
Jeremy i love this place also ,we see so many intriguing and also beautiful things that belong in the owners. One thing I have my heart on .,it is a art work drawing of African origine birds i think .Take care 🧡
Nice exploration, I liked the first wall paper of the first bedroom, the fist piano 🎹.. sad how it's ruined due to the abandonment of the place. I also liked how beautiful the windows let in the sunlight, very nice. And I also liked the tall white space heater/ chimney with the beautiful angels.. I have never seen anything like it. If it were cleaned out, I bet it would work like it did back in the day. Thank you for sharing another interesting and exciting exploration with me. If I don't see another exploration soon, I wish you a very happy Christmas 🎄🎶🎹🎶🥁🎶🎁🌫🌬❄️☃️🍻🍫
Firstly the house is not a chateau but it's a Maison de Maitre from the mid 19th century. The family that owned it were obviously active in Indochina, probably in the 1930s, hence the oriental furniture. I would say that perhaps in the 1960s the family lost their money. The electrics are unmodernised from the WWII. Based on the lack of modern electronics/technology remnants I would say that the house has possibly not been lived in since the 1980s? The basketwork implement is a carpet beater. It's a very pretty house. I hope someone rescues it because to leave it to fall down would be a shocking waste.
That was a soup tureen on the mantle with the blue birds on it. It would have also had a lid. You’re always so careful with the items. Thank you for showing all your adventures.
There’s one thing I find confusing about this house. Everything is very very old, but at 26:36 you see what appear to be brand new doors with modern door handles. What up with that?
I still do not understand why people leave pictures of family behind. They are precious memories of places and times that cannot be replaced. Obvious they do not have sentimental value to some unless the last occupants are at the end of their lives. Beautiful bed and what great idea of having a tub that you can sit in or stand up and have a shower. Well thought out. Such a shame it is all going to waste like so many exquisite places.
There wasn’t a basement at this mansion, unless it was a cellar somewhere in the woods in the back yard. But yes, I agree- basements are usually full of good stuff ❤️
Why don’t you close doors and windows so the elements don’t ruin it further? Not that it would really help but its just so beautiful I want it to last forever.
Hello Jeremy.I am your new fan.Since the 1st day i found ur yt channel i fallen in love with ur amazing storytelling & narrating video overall seem great.Keep it up! Regards, From :Sabah Borneo❤
I checked, that letter was written on the 29th of june 1996 (not that old). Honestly, the cursive was not very obvious, but it talks about renovation, cause it does talk about what the person wants to do with the fireplace. Anyways, hopefully someone else was better at decyphering it :)
The first sentence reads: Ci joint le devis que vous mavez demander (sic), vous aurez a choisir entre le dallage au ciment et le corseillange fait carreaux de *cant read*, ces derniers etant tres rouge, regulier et *cant read* Yeah my guess is that, a ranovation of something. Hope it helps :)

Por ser uma casa antiga, fiquei impressionada com a estrutura ainda muito boa e a claridade que essa casa tem, nem parece que está abandonada à tanto tempo exceto pelos moveis. Parabéns pelo vídeo.
The woven thing you found in the last room is a duster for carpets and beds. You use it to bang dust out of carpets and beds.
I was gonna comment that too! 😁
Das hatte ich auch so erklärt, richtig!
I was just going to say the same thing! :)
Yeah a rug beater

作为一个中国人，35：00的东西不是网球拍，而是中国用来拍打，床单，被子，的一种器械。两幅中国字的牌子，是对联。那个柜子， 是用紫檀木做的，很值钱，这个房子以前应该住过一个中国人。在1930年，有很多中国劳工前往法国，后来有一些人回到中国，有一些人留在了法国，娶了法国女人。

If it were in the States or Canada we'd jump at purchasing and restoring it but since I don't speak much French, and my husband doesn't speak any, we have to just let our hearts break. Thank you Jeremy for showing these majestic homes. Do you show any in Italy or Germany?
you won't find a home like this abandoned in Germany !!!
Thankyou Jeremy absolutely loved the way you did this video.🥰
Fascinating! You had asked about the 2 long red planks on either side of the over-sized table and mirror. I believe that area, at one time, served as an altar, probably to Buddhism. I'm only at the 11:33 mark, so, back to the video!
The attic was so beautiful! It looked like that last room was cleaned up and staged. Wish you had closed the windows but perhaps someone keeps an eye on it, else there would be a lot more damage in there. Your France explorations are my favorites too. Thanks!
How do you find these incredible places to explore? Is there an App you use? I’m from Tennessee too and would like to find cool places nearby! Thanks, Tim…
Thank you, Jeremy, for showing the rest of us things we’d never see!!!
What an amazing find surround by the tragedy of a family letting it decay.. The red bedroom was one of my fav time capsules. I think another trip to explore those attic boxes is needed. :) Really enjoyed this. Thank you!
Wonderful video, wish someone would buy it and restore it
Thank you for the great tour. Loved it! So much stuff left behind. And looks like lots of ppl lived there. Looks like, at one time, there was lots of entertainment going on in this old house. It was probably a place to come and play pool, listen to great music, and enjoy great food too.
Wow what history this house holds, if only we knew……
This explore deserves more views!!
This is so cool that pool table and piano. These videos are just a bit creepy. But peaceful and well detailed. I admire your interest in detail very nice.
Your video is just awesome and it's a shame that beautiful mansions are abandoned, where I come from we can only dream of a beautiful house ... Best of luck with your future adventures.
Comment for the Al GORE rhythm..
Well done Jeremy..
That place is awesome 😎 it's so cool that you guys can go over there and share that history with us you had Steve and big banks with you I'm glad you got to drop this video first
Beautiful home you have a fantastic voice
Thank you so much!
Hello, I have been watching many of your videos and I need to let you know...that in Castles and Chateau's it is very common for them to have what is called a "Sick Room" it is where one would go to be watched over by a Private in house Nurse Maid. This room is one which has a bed, dresser and sink. It is also common to have shown respect for the Nurse Maid to have their picture on a mantel alongside other family and close relative's pictures.
Love watching your videos.
I appreciate you notice all the little details in these structures.
This one is haunted. I can feel it. Hopefully, you cleanse any bad energy that may attach to you after visited these homes.
great video as always!
Great video.I think must to be something in local council who owning this house and who was owners during a years.Unbelievable how is still perserved without much damage.Tnxs.
You take good pictures without camera shake. After watching this video after watching other videos, I feel at ease as I watch it without shaking.
I love your voice Jeremy, Hello from Denver Co. Great content every video thanks !
Glad you enjoy it! Also, I LOVE Denver. It’s one of my favorite cities in the US!
It would be nice to see an abstract or deed (not sure what it's called in France) which would show ownership throughout the years... From the drone footage it shows a house very close... If the people still occupy that one it could provide answers to questions proposed during the video....very interesting and thanks for the video
I've just discovered you and love your video. I love the way you went through the house and respectfully spoke about the rooms and content. Never was there a, Hi Guys, look at this AMMMMAAAZING fireplace and look at these books. They are SOOOOOO OLD. (Think loud, animated voice). Thank you for sharing and being respectful. Because this was/is someone's home and belongings. 👋 from Australia 😊
Thank you for the video!
Stunning house… needing some serious love! Thank you 🙏
This place is gorgeous!
Love the videos! The small bedroom with the Sink beneath the window was the original personal servants room when the house was build i guess. Easy and fast acces when the man or woman of the house needed them at night. It also seems that there were multiple families living there at One point because of all the beds and how they were positioned. Like the baby beds with the adult beds. Maybe during the war this was the case. If i could i would love to come with you to explore, love this! Sucker for history.
Great video.. I’m assuming your crew looks at the dates on all of those newspapers and magazines to get an idea of the times.
Another great explore. Great work!
You do great with your videos, keep it up.
I would clean it up and live there in more than a heartbeat! I love all that old furniture and nick nacks and would keep it!
Hi Jeremy,
I haven’t scrolled to see if anyone mentioned, but the item in the last room on the third floor is a rug beater. Sometimes for bed clothing too but mostly to beat dust out of rugs that would be hung on a clothing line.
Hi Jeremy, Came across some of your videos this last week, loving them. I’m reminiscing over the ones in France. Many years ago I lived in France for 10 years in a town called Courbevoie in the Hautes de Seine, just outside of Paris. I rented an apartment in an old building. There was the cornice decor all around the ceiling and a black marble fireplace in the living room. Also the flooring which you refer to as triangular, this design is called parquet. The wooden armoires with shelves were typically for linens and blankets, had one of those in my bedroom and I noticed also a common bedside table with the shelf below and the marble top, mine had the pink marble. These pieces and other furniture I bought at a flea market, back then at the Port de Clignancourt, Paris. The cornice, marble fireplaces and parquet are common in old buildings. You would also find spiral staircases going up to other floors. These buildings would have a concierge, a person who was employed to take care of the building and whose living quarters would be on the ground floor. So us not so wealthy folk could also experience some of these fine antiquities. I only wished I could have got a better close up of that letter to help decipher it. Yes watching your videos in France are definitely bringing back memories.
Jeremy you are my favorite, I have watched many videos, I also enjoy Bros of Decay and a few more but you are above all. You are a Great narrator, you should be a narrator for Hollywood sometime, but the most I love from you is the respect you have for life and death. What I have learned from previous friends and family that have passed away is the fact that we don't need to gather so many things, all stays behind and our souls move on. Is not what we gathered what matters the most but what we scattered. On January of 2022 after I had three weeks of pneumonia due to Covid, not knowing if I would live or die since my sister died of Covid, I donated everything I had, I gave all my favorite treasures to friends, neighbors, including a big collection of dolls some with over 50 years of Vintage, collection of shoes, jewelry, furniture, clothing and even a car. I now live a simple life, not worrying about anything, not buying things I don't need, not gathering mementos or anything useless. I am free, I enjoy having family time, enjoy meals with my friends and neighbors, I am a simple soul without the baggage. I Thank The Lord for allowing me to be who I am now. Jesus said " Let your treasures be in heaven..." and that's where I look now, because where my treasures are there is also my heart.
Such an interesting and beautiful time capsule!
Thanks! I really liked this home
This explore is amazing♥️👍♥️👍♥️👍
Beautiful place with beautiful things loveeeeeeeee to see all the old beautiful things and beautiful photos
Hi, cool house and video
I think you overlooked a wood crib at the top of the second floor where you found the lead pellets. Also in the servants quarters the wicker/bamboo thing you thought was a racket. Was a rug beater.
Our ancestors used to beat the area rugs with them to get the dust out out on the porch
The description of the video says abandoned for 30 years, but it feels older than that which the WW1 pictures and other dated items. With the condition it is in i doubt it could have been abandoned this long but with it being in eastern France i was honestly considering a family fleeing WW2, with it being as hidden as it is it survived the war just by being missed by chaos. Anything could have happened to the family to cause them not to return if that was the case. I would imagine after WW2 there was a massive amount of abandoned homes without a known reason why the owners never made it back.
Really appreciate the respect you are showing for these places. Just watched a handful of videos, but I wonder why you don’t visit the basements.
After you go in and do your filming of these places, would you consider closing windows and doors that have been left open to the elements. I’ll admit it is too late for most of the buildings, but it just seems respectful to at least slow down the ongoing deterioration.
WHAT A FANTASTIC VIDEO ❤
Be careful with these old floors, Jeremy
Jeremy i love this place also ,we see so many intriguing and also beautiful things that belong in the owners. One thing I have my heart on .,it is a art work drawing of African origine birds i think .Take care 🧡
Just another note. Those diagonal laid floor is called herring bone pattern. Very distinct.
Nice exploration, I liked the first wall paper of the first bedroom, the fist piano 🎹.. sad how it's ruined due to the abandonment of the place. I also liked how beautiful the windows let in the sunlight, very nice. And I also liked the tall white space heater/ chimney with the beautiful angels.. I have never seen anything like it. If it were cleaned out, I bet it would work like it did back in the day. Thank you for sharing another interesting and exciting exploration with me.
If I don't see another exploration soon, I wish you a very happy Christmas 🎄🎶🎹🎶🥁🎶🎁🌫🌬❄️☃️🍻🍫
Firstly the house is not a chateau but it's a Maison de Maitre from the mid 19th century.
The family that owned it were obviously active in Indochina, probably in the 1930s, hence the oriental furniture.
I would say that perhaps in the 1960s the family lost their money.
The electrics are unmodernised from the WWII.
Based on the lack of modern electronics/technology remnants I would say that the house has possibly not been lived in since the 1980s?
The basketwork implement is a carpet beater.
It's a very pretty house. I hope someone rescues it because to leave it to fall down would be a shocking waste.
That was a soup tureen on the mantle with the blue birds on it. It would have also had a lid. You’re always so careful with the items. Thank you for showing all your adventures.
The thing you called a tennis racket is a carpet beater used for beating the dust from rugs and beds x
There’s one thing I find confusing about this house. Everything is very very old, but at 26:36 you see what appear to be brand new doors with modern door handles. What up with that?
I still do not understand why people leave pictures of family behind. They are precious memories of places and times that cannot be replaced. Obvious they do not have sentimental value to some unless the last occupants are at the end of their lives. Beautiful bed and what great idea of having a tub that you can sit in or stand up and have a shower. Well thought out. Such a shame it is all going to waste like so many exquisite places.
If it's haunted you don't want to take anything from the house to another space and chance making it happen there.
I LOVE. your videos with. your excellent commentary. However.....can you pleeeeze go into the. basements? There is usually good stuff there.
There wasn’t a basement at this mansion, unless it was a cellar somewhere in the woods in the back yard. But yes, I agree- basements are usually full of good stuff ❤️
beautiful, I would love to have this house, haunted or not.
🇦🇺 Hello Kim from Australia love your travels & how you show in great detail these lovely homes. Your my No1 much 💖
I think this is an awesome mansion.. I like the simplicity of it.
Thank you Jeremy, I enjoyed your video
I wish someone would redo this old house and bring it back to its original beauty.
Why don’t you close doors and windows so the elements don’t ruin it further? Not that it would really help but its just so beautiful I want it to last forever.
Hello Jeremy.I am your new fan.Since the 1st day i found ur yt channel i fallen in love with ur amazing storytelling & narrating video overall seem great.Keep it up!
Regards,
From :Sabah Borneo❤
That home needs saved
I checked, that letter was written on the 29th of june 1996 (not that old). Honestly, the cursive was not very obvious, but it talks about renovation, cause it does talk about what the person wants to do with the fireplace. Anyways, hopefully someone else was better at decyphering it :)
The first sentence reads:
Ci joint le devis que vous mavez demander (sic), vous aurez a choisir entre le dallage au ciment et le corseillange fait carreaux de *cant read*, ces derniers etant tres rouge, regulier et *cant read*
Yeah my guess is that, a ranovation of something. Hope it helps :)

The chandelier isn't tin it's wrought iron. Cool vid!
Love your voice!! So relaxing
Por ser uma casa antiga, fiquei impressionada com a estrutura ainda muito boa e a claridade que essa casa tem, nem parece que está abandonada à tanto tempo exceto pelos moveis. Parabéns pelo vídeo.
