Abandoned French Mansion of the Marveux Family - LOCKED UP Since I was Born! 

You are always so quiet and reverent when you explore these beautiful homes. Thank you for the care and respect you show. You are by far the best explorers. Love you.

Hi Lesley and Jordy, The yellow pot on the stove is made in France as you said by Le Creuset. My husband Will has a large collection of the original red Le Creuset. It’s lovely to look at and wonderful to cook with. I enjoy watching your videos virtually exploring abandoned places. Best wishes, Sandy

It really makes me sad when I imagine the last family member sitting there before dying looking at the empty house which was once a lively place and remembering all the happy moments spent in that house with his/her family.

You have a beautiful voice! I could listen to you every day! Wonderful! I wish the best for your future for the both of you! I’m a grandmother of grandchildren in their 20’s, but not too old to recognize handsome young men with lovely voices! 🥰💝🤗🙏🏼🕯My firstborn grandson is 24. A wonderful age!

Leslie, i really love your beautiful well modulated husky voice.

I love the way you are able to find out about who lived in these beautiful places. Their stories make it much more interesting, and also sad that all the belongings and photos, noone wants. The hidden wine cellar was just unbelievable. Thank you for another epic explore.

The wine is only viable if keep at a constant temp and humidity level. Which they may have, but the two bottles shown are drinking wines, not collector wines. So the wine isn't worth much more than when it was bought.

Hi Leslie , .thanks for taking the time to show everything this is a beautiful manor .And you are by far the best explorer 😍❤

I love watching your videos of old houses. I think this one was refurbished in the 1960's going by the style of cupboards in the kitchen, known as cathedral style (I had the same in my home here in Canada). I think the billiard room was either a rebuild of a collapsed portion of the house or an addition because all the stone pointing is not very old. The bedroom which I think was above the billiard room was part of the rebuild?? fireplace more decorative than original. At some point in time this home was ransacked, judging by the upstairs and tell tell signs of small piles of belongings under tables, in corners. Someone has cleaned up the main floor rooms and staged them. The beam that you said was sagging, there was no sign of cracking in the ceiling plaster and that ceiling also looked like it had been repointed, the room above that room also had the same sag but no cracking in the plaster ceiling, which again were probably refurbished in 1960's. Also the upstairs was only tidied enough to do interesting photographs by previous explorers. The magazines brought from the storage room to add to the ambience in the other rooms. Definitely a beautiful home, lovingly restored around 1960's. I am devasted to think that this lovingly restored home, with all the modern convieniences added, has been left to decay once again. I do hope you closed all the windows, even though you did not open them, to hold back the weather from penitrating once again. Thank you for showing us what happens when families no longer care about their parents or ancestry homes. This particular home could be cleared, cleaned and be in use today. I apologize this is so long.

The bird you referred to as a peacock is a pheasant. You put so much emotion into your videos and handle their belongings with so much care that it gives much respect to the people who lived their lives in these places.

So glad this was untouched by vandels. Except for dust and cobwebs this is beautiful. Thank you for sharing Leslie and Jordie.

Amazing house, really enjoyed your tour! Feeling a bit sad seeing all the nice old wooden furniture getting destroyed by mold and humidity... Thanks for taking us in board 🙌

Hi Lesley, Bros of Decay, Again such a wonderful explore video from one of my favourite explorers! - I already liked the start in that French cottage, where you spent together with your explorer friend the night. That is actually a very beautiful place looking nice and cozy. - The carride added a little bit of a roadmovie vibe to your video, when your were driving on that road, and the sun was slowly rising. - Beautiful! - In the abandoned French mansion I managed to see through your eyes the beauty behind the very advanced decay, that was visible everywhere in the house. - Especially the living room and the dining room with this antique furniture were so beautiful to see, and of course the "pleasure room" with the beautiful chandelier, the pool table, the bar and the very beautiful antique furniture was a pleasure to see! A true time capsule! - How you were imagining the life of the former inhabitants, was again once more so touching to listen. You really have a very sensitive and highly respectful attitude in approaching the former owners life, - always amazing to listen! - I also loved to listen to the lovely background music, well matching to the images you were showing. - Wishing you all the best and many more inspiring Urban explores! - Stay safe, lots of blessings and much love from Switzerland. - Kindest regards also to your adorable brother Jordy.

I loved the cottage you stayed in at the beginning of this video. I enjoyed this video the only thing I don't like seeing is the taxidermied animals but I under stand that people took pride in their hunts/kills. Thank you Leslie for sharing.

Thank you Leslie, your brother and team of Explorers you collaborate with on your explorations of these beautiful, mysterious abandoned homes. You’re all very respectful too which is important. I appreciate your taking me and so many others on your journeys virtually! Hopefully many of these places can be restored or saved; which would be cool! Safe travels and big Hugs from Vancouver Canada 😊🇫🇮🇨🇦❤️

Why are so many places abandoned with everything left behind? It seems so strange that no one would want these places.

Wow that was one of the most interesting homes. Great job. Loved the vanity and bed frame. Also the beautiful french vase with the Victorian people. The light over the dinning table was awesome. You guys did a good job at showing everything. And as usual you told a touching story of these peoples lives. Love you. Keep up the nice job. The wine cellar was a time capsule all alone. Fantastic. 🤗🥰❣🍷

I have a cooking pot similar to that one. Mine is green. They are so heavy because they are made of cast iron and covered in porcelain.

Le Creuset : quite expensive cookware

Hey guys, when are yous doing a tour in Ireland? Since the famine, thousands of houses were just left behind and taken over by nature. 🍀

I am absolutely addicted to your video’s. I cannot wrap my head around how these gorgeous buildings & amazing artifacts are just left to rot. It’s so sad. Love you Leslie you are doing a great job.

You are absolutely my fav explorer on the net. I love how you describe your findings. And most importantly, the way you scan with your camera. You are the best! I live your adventures with you! Thank you so much💕

You are a truly good story teller and you should write a book about all these adventures you are on and add lots of photos. I would buy it..

Bonjour from Massachusetts 🤗 your channel is my absolute favorite channel EVER!!! I have a crazy random question I would like to know if you don’t mind have you ever experienced any paranormal going into these vacant mansions? Lol

Beautiful chandelier from a yoke made for ox! I am glad you are not fat or we would not be able to see inside this mansion! Wow! You are so young! You look as if you are at least 30! You have great respect for the past. My husband wants to know if you know of Dr. Pol the animal vet? He’s Dutch. That is a silver dollar plant in the pretty vase. You rub the flower between your fingers and inside are the seeds!

It's a shame you can't locate someone who knew the family that can tell the story of these lives.

You boys remember this happily, as time goes on and you may not be able to squeeze through 18”. My friends and I explored colonial and early American abandoned places in the 1970s, young compared to most of the places you boys, (men), find. Bravo on another A+ adventure.

The bottle you picked up from the wine rack was Beaujolais Villages 1991, a very decent red wine. I am enjoying your videos from North Carolina, USA. Rock on !

Thank you Leslie👍 it is a very cozy beautiful house damage that it has been empty for so many years.🙁🙁🙁

Hello Lesley and Jordy! Thank you for the travel back in the time in this exploration. Very interesting place all details in the decoration. Only I was not enjoying the taxidermy 🐗 in the year the house was abandoned I was 27 year's old .Really incredible the any person go inside of the Mansion for to long time but What is happening with the rest of the family? . I was having the similar tape recorder in the 1990. How many memories inside of the place? 🤔. Please stay safe and many hugs 🤗 💖 ❤ 💋👏👍

23:10 phone books, yes, but in the old days they were used as children's booster seats. 😂

Wonderful brothers to care for each other and work together. 🙏🏼

Excellent, thanks for taking your time and allowing us to enjoy👍✌

Loved the villa you stayed in.. absolutely gorgeous! Makes me want to build a new home and put in some French accessories..

The green decanter set might be valuable. I wish you had shown it longer. They had it going on there in their younger days it looks like. The wooden mirrored thing on the wall that you stated had something to do with pool is where you store and display the pool sticks when not in use. I could see the notches to hold the pool sticks in at the top part of it. A very cool place indeed, Lesley.🧡💚💛

What a wonderful xplore Leslie such a beautiful home full of curiosities. Especially the hidden wine cellar !The wooden stand in the billiard roon is for storing cues. And you are correct they are wild boars. I was tickled to hear you were born like me on 13th July even though I was actually 41 the day you were born !! But how spooky that this house was abandoned exactly since the year you were born. Thankyou for sharing . Stay safe. X Jan X UK

I am so sad I missed this premiere! This mansion was absolutely amazing!!! I really love all the furniture and the intricate details carved into it. You definitely do not see architecture or craftsmanship like that in the USA. You and Explomo seem to find the most astonishing and breathtaking homes that look like they come straight out of a fairytale.

How considerate of you not to upset the spiders by avoiding breaking their webs when opening the cupboard door!!!!!!!!!! 😃 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕸️🕸️

Wow wow wow!!! I absolutely adored this documentary!! The hidden wine cellar was truly one of a kind! Why would they hide it? The house was gorgeously done! I can only imagine how cozy it was back in the day. Such great vibes! I bet they were a lot of fun! The place you stayed in was amazing too! Loved this! Thank you darling Lesley! Love you so much! 💕❤️🇺🇸

It's really sad to see how these people are left alone in these mansions and have no one to care for them in their last days and no one to care for the house afterwards 😞 😔

I love your videos and your voice is so soothing. My husband says your voice puts me to sleep when I have my earphones on. That’s a good thing. I’ll watch it again tomorrow. Stay safe. From Missouri, USA

Your voice makes this experience so precious and timeless. I admire your explore and respect you give to the places🧡 First time finding your channel & subscribe so quick; i’m already 3 videos in 😂

I love the house and the stone walls it was very interesting. Thank you

Love how you show so much detail of the home...and the music behind it is so soft makes it more beautiful Thank you 😊 💗

Eu amo quando você filma . Você mostra os detalhes, chega bem perto dos objetos. Parabéns pelo trabalho. 🌷

So beautiful yet so sad it will just disintegrate in time thank you for sharing ❤️

What a wonderful privilege for you being there in the house and realising you are the first entrant on this date in your life. It must've tremendous meaning for you.

Beautiful property🏡thanks for the great Video 🖥Greetings from Germany 💌

Hello from Brazil 🇧🇷

Oh ! I love your house ! It's very cozy ! With the exposed stones and the beams at the ceiling !!! 💖💖💖AND I follow you in this abandoned french mansion .... OF COURSE !

Great explore really enjoyed ,stay safe much love an blessings Ann uk xxx

Look forward to your videos all the time! You guys are the best! Wonderful voice, lovely music. Just amazing. From Maryland USA. Used to go exploring as a teenager and so now do so vicariously through your explores! Thanks again!

Wow, it's really mindblowing that this has been abandoned since you were born. Crazy🙃🙂🙃🤩🤩🤩

I don't think I will ever tire of seeing these wonderful old houses. They contain so many intriguing things and memories to see. I would say people in France loves their wine. That cellar was quite fascinating. I don't know anything about wine except it can give a person a really bad headache the next morning. Ouch!!!! Just imagine the immense warmth and cozy feeling those fireplaces made. Beautiful. Very fascinating video. You did it with style, as usual. Thank you.

So cool! Tons of treasures there. The wine cellar was incredible ;D

Maybe you lived there in another life 😀 who knows, since your exact birthday month and year has been awaiting you as its first visitor for all these years... well done! Captivating journey and exploration. How much beauty and style in France! Lovely place you spent the night in. I love the way you find beauty in decay. Beauty’s everywhere. Ciao 👋

Hey Lesley, Bros of Decay, What a beautifully furnished room with the pool table and the chandelier! - Of course I already hit the thumbs up button. I am very excited to watch your lifestream video! - Kindest regards.

I really appreciate how respectful and courteous you are when exploring these beautiful homes. You and your team members are great examples of the good and honest younger generation. Keep on doing what you're doing. Thanks so much. Bob H

Simply fascinating. I love watching your videos 😊They are so interesting. It’s amazing to see how other people in other times have lived. Thank you for posting these.

Another awesome video my favorite explores!!! Much love guys and be safe

Thank you so much for sharing your country side adventure beginning with that charming cottage. Such a mystery it must be to explore an abandoned place left like a time capsule. I appreciate the time you spent in the heart of the home, the kitchen. Thank you for your gentle touch showing respect for another's personal items and home. I always enjoy your narration and lovely perspective on all of your fascinating explorations. Good work Brothers! Thank you very much ✨❤️✨

Wonderfull love to see the real.greate job .GB

Always interest in your every location visited Good luck for the next travel and location

So amazing how as she passed away you were born. This as all meant to be for some reason we may not know, but the Lord knows. You have been guided to this home.. It had to be such a lovely home. Am not crazy about stuffed, dead animals, but other than that it is really nice! So much could have been done at one time anyway Thank you both for going through all of this to let us explore with you. Not easy to get in through the window but you did it! Unbelievable wind cellar is hidden away! Probably to be hidden from the children and yet they would have known anyway am sure. lol

Boar, the wild pig, is correct for American English. They are also overpopulated in Southeast US and so still widely hunted. The gold round-leaved dried flowers in all the vases you've seen all over places is likely "gold-leaf grass", easily and commonly grown to dry and use as decor. The colorful bird is not peacock, believe a ring-neck pheasant. GREAT room. Thanks for sharing and respecting.

Wow what a great explore so much antiques. , you know I loved it! Leslie your voice is awesome, puts me to sleep, then I got to go back and watch again so I won’t miss a thing!

Thanks for the wonderful video 👏👏👏😘

Such an interesting place! The billliards room looks fantastic ! It seems you restarted its heart for a moment...

Another amazing home just rotting away. I just love the stone walls with beams in the ceiling. I can't believe how much stuff was stored upstairs. A lifetime stored up there. Another home I would love to move into 💞

Piece of Decay like Bros of Decay 😁😁😁🖒🖒🖒

And the piano !!! And the billiards !!! Only one thing I don't like : stuffed animal heads !

This house is so.beautiful .so sad it's just been left like this great job guys enjoyed this one

I was born July 12! I am 69 and I love your videos. Incredible with Covid lockdown.

Magnificent fireplace ! And ... I am overjoyed with the beams at the ceiling !!! WHAT A PITY this place is abandonned !

I LOVE how you comment your videos !!! It's a real voyage in the time ! And I love how you point your finger on all the things that have a lot of charms !!!

Another great place,you have brought us along on your adventure through a wonderful time capsule.I just love the way you guys are so respectful of these places that were a home to a family that loved their home.Just keep bringing us along on your trip around the world and as always, we love you too guys.Be safe.

I go to sleep with the sound of your voice...its very comforting..thank you.😇

Digging the vase @ 22:30. I wish my son had your empathy and respect.

Hola me encanta los videos de abandono y siempre los veo. Lo malo es que no todos biene con susbtitulos. Desde chile saludos

Lovely home and well worth restoring if this home were in England it would be snapped up quickly. The home appears to resemble a castle and was probably built in 1890 or the early part of the 1900's. Some of the furnishings were Victorian French design and in excellent condition.

I love 💘 this old manor. Such a unique place. Amazing things to see 👀 inside. Stay safe 🙏❤ 🙏 ❤ 💓 💙

Hi Leslie. Great video. I think that the shelving unit next to the billiards table is actually a gun rack to hold rifles and shotguns. Looks like one my great uncle had with the same mirrored background.

I love to watch yet its sad that the family never restored this great house. So much is still in good condition in the kitchen!

What a cozy home.The price of wine depends on what kind The name.where it was bottled several factors.The wood furniture is beautiful.What a great find Leslie.❤️👍🇺🇸

I am guessing most of that wine is no longer good. Too many years. In the billiards room, the mirrored wall rack is for hunting rifles to sit on. I find it a little strange and possibly a bit disturbing that there was a pad lock on the door leading up to the bedrooms. Great location again!

My love of history and love watching your VDO, I love this place it’s not too big and it’s really beautiful inside, very classy, thank you for sharing really enjoy your VDO

Nice Le Creuset pot that’s really expensive, cast iron with enamel; wild boar; elk (not deer); holds cue sticks; jackal; setee or loveseat; pheasant, not peacock Nice little country French house. Love the L’Illustration magazines. This was a really cozy French country home. Very pleasantly livable, comfortable. If it’s way out then the husband would’ve hunted some on the grounds. Wonderful attics! In the carriage house that was an ammo belt for shotgun shells, not a gun holder (I believe you meant ‘holster,’ which it still is not). Wonderful old place there, loved it! Thanks guys, take care always. Love to you too from America 😘.

You have great videos you are one of my favorites

I'm wondering why anyone could want to do thumbs down! 🙄

ITS THE GIRL TALK DATE LINE GAME!!! Under the bar. I had one as a child 😂 Born in 84 here

Hi Leslie! Thanks❤ once again for another great episode.! You are so handsome and have a great voice. You are so thorough on the history of these places. Great Job! Hey where is Jordy?

Lesley, as always, I enjoyed this video. Thank you so much 🌹

Leslie: Hey my birthday is the day after yours. Mine is July 14th!! Us Cancers got to stick together. LOL!! No wonder you love exploring these old houses and villas so much. I love history too, antiques, abandoned houses.

A real hunting lodge! 13 of July my birthday too, my daughter is 24 , now I see why I'm following your adventures !

Wow. This is amazing. Hello im from Indonesia.. i like the house !!

Lovely chateau you stayed in. The cottage was really big. Huge stacks of magazines! Loved that wine cellar too.

Hello from Canada. We see these old style French homes in rural areas of Quebec. Very beautiful.

Wow what’re an amazing place thankyou for sharing with us this amazing story

I had to mention🙈 i apologize for my upfront comment🙏🏻 . I find Leslies sound of voice incredibly sexy ,manly its soothing dreamy. His voice should be included in those meditation(stories) where people seek helpful videos to ease up into falling asleep ♥️

I could literally hear you shivering!
