Why aren’t historians involved with the exploration and study of this incredible place! That library/office must have a lot of info and historic worth?!?! Makes me so very sad!
It seemed almost every room you entered was a Bedroom. Loved the video. You should use the ladder in the library to get as high and pick a book to seethe date. Thanks
My friend you have topped them all!! I never imagined a place like this could even exist....breathtaking!!! The library and study with its books and grand wooden ceilings...there aren't even words. As always much love from West Virginia ❤️ 💙 ♥️
OMG! I fell in love with the furniture in the blue and white bedroom. 😍 At 29:12 I hear a woman’s voice. Dave says “it’s a shame” over what she says, though. Then again, a voice at 30:17. A child? And Dave was no where near that perfume bottle when it fell. The camera panned by it still on the table as he was leaving, then it was on the floor.😳
I haven't even got 10 minutes in and I'm already relaxed and excited to watch this video. I'm sure you have alot of fun doing them but you also put yourself at risk to make us happy. Thank you so sooo much for these explores, I love them x
Every time I see this place it just really shocks me that it is still in decline, no one is trying to revive/protect this place. It screams Rocco art in every room. The study looks like there are quiet a few books missing from what was there before and that is a shame. Because that is truly the most amazing room to me. So much knowledge locked in forgotten, books to never be opened again is such a sad thought.
A beautiful Chatau, thanks for taking us on a tour of this amazing place. The French society in the era this place was built in believed the higher the ceilings and doors stood for a show of wealth and grandeur. The bedrooms with twin beds was the respectful way couples lived or slept back in those times, in fact most couples had separate bedrooms and the man would visit his wife at night when needed. The bed is put sideways in most rooms for ladies or guests as this was to accommodate the personal maid/maids room to dress the lady. The object you keep refering to as a baby's bath is in fact a toilet, servants didn't have access to the toilet in there rooms at night so they used these and emptied them each morning. The apartment with the liw ceilings was probably used by the live in childrens Nanny. The Blue room showed matching hand made wallpaper in small 40cm squares that were placed on the walls and glued lining up exactly, having material matching which was exclusively designed woukd have cost a fortune in those days. The stage would have been for opera singers or music artists, in that room would have been a grand piano originally. The room in the 1st space of the main staircase that you refered to as a ballroom was infact a 'Porcelain' room, another display of wealth with cabinets of rare china and ornaments, it probably would have had posh chairs and large porcelain figurines in there. The newspapers and wooden cigar boxes etc were to light the fires. Downstairs the wine cellars were fantastic, they obviously made their own wine, probably had their own Cooper making the wine barrels etc. Keeping old locks and keys and door knobs were essential as these things were impossible to replace or obtain. Loved this, you really should start watching other films rather than just Harry Potter 😊💕🇦🇺
I wish Dave that the French government would list these Chateau's for sale, after they have followed all legal options with the owners then to leave them to decay. I have viewed so many that are worse off than this one for sale and they are empty, all the memories left behind is just so sad. The Pink bedroom at 16:13 the wallpaper is "toile de jouy" created in France. This place is endless, and just stunning, another great find Dave, thanks for bringing us along. Love from NY.
37:40...You should do an all nighter Paranormal investigation there Dave! Please do it with those who will stay the night and not want to leave. Is it your Friends who are with you, who do the investigation for the discovery of the after life and if it exists. Would Love a Part two.... Love watching from New Zealand with Love
This chateau was for sale back in 2019-2020, fully furnished. Not sure what happened but the wanted price was too high comparing to other similar properties. The current state is really, really sad... :(
I saw that it was put up for sale in 2017 by the only heir, the daughter, and from the old photos there were many wonderful objects, a real shame! Unfortunately, even in Italy (my country) there are far too many in ruins 😔
Oh my goodness!! That place is amazing. The colour coordinated bedrooms are beautiful- “ put our guests in the Blue room”. The wallpaper matched the furniture fabric and I love it! Such a crying shame it’s left to decay it’s dreadful as it should be saved. I absolutely loved this explore. Well done to all of you🌹
Hi David, it is May 24th, 2023 here in northern California; just watched this video - this place is absolutely breathtaking; probably the best tour you have taken us on. Can you just imagine living there? That library - I love books; especially old books and if permitted, I would spend several weeks just in that library. All I'd need is food and a few other creature comforts, some companionship, and I could live in this mansion the rest of my life! Thank you so much for letting us all tag along with you through this stunning place. I didn't hear even one ghost. Take good care of yourself; pay attention to your surroundings at all times (forgive me; I have come to feel somewhat maternal over you). Love you! Sandra
I am absolutely astonished by the spendor of this castle, what a treasure to do find such a beautiful castle.I sure hope somebody can restore it and like you said,turn it into a museum.Thank you Dave.
Dave I agree with Sherry Hunt. I don’t get offended it’s just a general guys meeting everybody. Now getting back to the Château. That was absolutely extraordinary! Saw some things that I didn’t see before really really incredible. Can you imagine one family owning that? Just blows me away. Back in its heyday with the top hats in the ladies gowns and oh my gosh I was born in the wrong era. That was phenomenal. And you did a great job! Thank you so much. Sending love from California😎🤗💜🤟🏻🇺🇸
I had to rewatch the part where you were in the low ceiling room and the scent bottle was on the floor. You were right, it was on the side placed on top of a postcard. You could also tell you were no where near it when it fell. One of those mysteries we don’t have answers for. Great video as always Dave 💙
This castle/chateaux is mindblowing to say the very least! I can't fathom why all of this history os left behind regardless of how rich and affluent they were. It leaves me with why? Thank you Dave absolutely phenomenol explore bro! Much love!
Just imagine the family sitting on that huge veranda with the kids in the pool, I’d love to see it alive again. It’s strange, all those papers and documents that were so important…. It just shows us how nothing is more important than just living a full life.
Absolutely the most beautiful and amazing mansion I've ever seen! Now I want to know more about this mansion and those who owned and lived it right up to the last people who simply walked out the door and abandoned all that is left behind and of course what made them abandon it. As you stated several times "this place should be preserved as a museum."
Hands down this place wins over all the others , just no competition. The others on the series were lovely but this place.. it literally has it all . As someone whom has an eye for antiques , there were some stunning pieces . The artwork is something else , every room with all the painted wAlls and ceilings😱❤️. That’s another thing too , the bedrooms , omg , every one of them so coordinated and set for it all to match up , I’m totally ocd everything has to match , so that was just totally on point for me . Then the icing on the cake with the bedroom with the previous popes photo . Talking of photos , the dark room , how awesome was that ! In the age of digital camera, let’s be real , how many places and people will use a dark room now , those cameras will be damn near obsolete now . Only thing I don’t like is the taxidermy. I’m an animal person and not to be a Debbie downer but animals as decoration is just wrong in my book . But seriously I love this castle so much . Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to be able to see this gorgeous building. The library 😮 oh my ... I’d disappear on there and not be seen for weeks , months even , I bloody love books
It’s absolutely stunning, wonder why they left . The fire places are out of this world, never seen anything like this. Keep up your great work and be safe x
What a beautiful place and your so lucky to see it in person. The decor was breath taking and I thought the outside was beautiful but the inside was unbelievable. As beautiful as it was it's also quit active, at 29:12 I heard a voice that sounded like a whimper or laugh, you were on your own. It happened again around 30:18 and at 35:17 I thought it sounded like a growl or your were hungry and that was your stomach. At 37:42 you were right that little bottle did fall if you roll back your recording you'll see it was on the chest. Great find Dave and crew I loved this beautiful castle. Take care.
35:17 was definitely his belly growling! haha. It done it a few minutes before too when he was in the tiny workshop. Either he was really hungry or he had a case of the bubble guts! 😂
Spectacular!!!! Thank you for giving this grand lady, perhaps her last dance. Imagine having to leave there! Most likely the family couldn't afford the upkeep but depending on French taxes, they may keep it as a tax break since they pay taxes but can't use it. That's what people do in the US. I LOVE that library! I wanna bring all those book home, I love books! That tiny room, with no windows and that wall paper...it's absolutely claustrophobic!!! Those subterranean cells... I wonder if it was used as a prison in the past? Love you and your videos! Again, thank you!
i am not even a quarter way through this video and i can honestly say i think this is the most beautiful home i've ever "seen" in my entire life. it literally brought tears to my eyes to think about the life and lives that once flourished here. it is beyond extraordinary ❤
26:16 Good thing Josh had a tight grip on his camera, could you imagine if he’d dropped it?! 🙈😅 Also, what’s creepier than a basement? A sub-basement below the basement! Basements always give me the willies 😄
It’s so great you took time to go close up on those books in amongst all the grandeur. Sometimes detail can be as overwhelming as the bigger picture. Incredible place.
I love your enthusiasm and respectful attitude for these beautiful places! The small persons room blew my mind, and my favourite places are always the entrance halls and libraries. Keep up the fab work. You are living my dream. I had a shell suit too which tells me we are around the same age (21 in spirit) ❤❤
This is absolutely insane! How do they keep it free from squatters and vandalism? I am completely in awe! Who keeps the artwork and furniture from being stolen I wonder. This is just so insane!
Stunning. So sad this treasure has not been restored. That library, exquisite. All those documents & photos should be preserved. Thank you for sharing.
I can’t understand how this family could disappear and leave everything behind. After having it in the family for hundreds of years to leave it and all the valuables behind. Did you find out how long it’s been abandoned? Thank you for sharing this amazing mansion with us. Can’t wait to see more adventures!! ❤️❤️❤️
Money is why homes are abandoned. Families die out too leaving no one to inheirit. The law can make it difficult for anyone to aquire the property. Fortunately some of the grand homes are being converted to wedding venues, convention centers, and hotels.
It breaks my heart that this astonishingly beautiful mansion and its equally stunning furnishings are rotting away, but I'm grateful that at least you were able to film it and are so appreciative of what you're seeing. There's so much antique French porcelain and furniture that you've just glanced over and I'm dying to take control of your camera and focus it on all the beautiful bits of history. Unfortunately your time was limited but thank you for sharing as much as you could of this gob-smacking place.
Hi Dave, this chateau is on a totally different level to every thing else out there. Truly amazing and beautiful. Hope it can be saved for future generations.
Hi Dave, my curiosity got the best of me. So, I did my research. Those little basins shaped like an hourglass are bidets not wash tubs for babies. LOL! BTW that castle was awesome! Good job!
I laughed so hard and keep telling the TV what they are. Glad you cleared it up for him. Hope he reads it. This is not the only explored home that he has gotten it wrong. But, have to agree thinking of someone giving a baby a bath in one is funny. !!!!!!!!!!
I saw this castle 🏰 a few days ago when Bros of Decay toured it. Absolutely magnificent! And such a shame it is going into decay. I enjoyed your tour just as much as I did theirs. Thank you for such a wonderful trip back in time!
Dave fabulous explore but when you were looking at the toy theatre in the attic there was a little whine as if a child was humming, did anyone else hear it ?
Wow, absolutely wow ,I can't believe this is left to decay like this,what a stunning beautiful place .I love all the matching things, and you guys make me so proud ,just the way you are so passionate about the places you see ,love your videos xx
I'm watching this with my airpods on and when you go up the stairs to the Servants area I heard a female voice at 27.35 mins also at 29.12 mins, omg there is so many voices even at the little puppet show 30.17 sounded like a female saying please. Dave you need to put head phones on and listen.
Absolutely fantastic, best abandoned vid I have seen in a long while, I was hearing CHILDREN’S voices and I didn’t even have ear buds in 😯☺️🇺🇸🙏🏻💕 go back and listen 👍🏻 love how excited you get and so respectful of History ☺️
Wow, what a trip you get to experience these magnificent houses. Appreciate every episode but this one is absolutely incredible. Thankyou again for sharing. My jaw dropped with " EVERY " room you entered, totally blown away.
This location, by far, is THE BEST one you have found in France! Loved your other trip to France- but this one takes the cake! I love it when you tour it by yourself. I’m sure it’s fun with your buddies- but love you commentary and your insight to what may have been!
Houses such as these usually wind up in this condition because the owner of the title is having their ownership contested in court. The original owner and their descendants could not reside there for a multitude of reasons so the house fell into its present condition. They had similar issues in Great Britton once and the various estates took possession of the family castles that were no longer owned by the families. Now they are responsible for the upkeep.
Also before the property can be handed down to the next in line, exorbitant fees must be paid plus any debts, repairs must be done be fore it can be lived in and they must luve there for a certain amount of years before they can sell.
I lust after the library! Maybe not all the books, but all that space!! The room upstairs with the racks looked like a stillroom. I could be wrong. What a stunner of a house. Definitely from another era..
OMG - this is the most stunning abandoned mansion you have entered. I loved that blue and white matching bedroom, i cant believe how the wallpaper and the curtains, bedding and chairs were all made from the same print. loved it. that TINY room you went in.. i rekon it was for midget guests, lol, i noticed even that dressing gown that was hanging up... was rather small looking, lol thank you for finding and filming this gorgeous place. its too nice to be just left, what a shame it doesnt get restored to its famous beauty
Servants had a separate entrance into the rooms. Not seen, not heard, just service while not bothering the guests. A hunting lodge for the rich and their mistresses.
Yeah Tigeress, I heard it too, I thought the door was scraping on the floor but there's quite a gap under the door, and at 35.18mins in the great dining hall sounds of like growling, have a listen, play it back Dave, further investigation comes to mind 😊 xXx
hi Dave and the guys hope you guys be safe out there 🙏🙏🙏🙏 this looks creepy 😱😱 but a lot of things left behind hope to see more videos ❤️ you guys ✌️✌️I don't like to use any deer for know kind of decoration are any other kind of animal, s maybe a picture that is all
sorry I'm a female and I don't take it offensively it's just words these days everything is offensive to everybody they need to get over it .. I know you don't mean it offensive
Couldn't agree more Sherry, we can't say anything any more without *someone* being offended !! Sick of it, the most innocent remarks are twisted into something they're not.
You mean about saying you "guys" ..if so I don't find it offensive at all as a female because these days the meaning of how the word is used has changed to pretty much be a general way to include all..
If somebody's reality is so fragile that mere words shake them to their core, in light of what mankind has come through over the ages...well, what can really be said about that?
Well done Dave another great video that place was amazing wow can't believe someone has just left all that abandoned it's amazing, brilliant video so enjoyed this thanks for sharing mate 👍💖
What was that weird sound that starts about @ 29:12 ...Almost sounds like a woman's voice...Kind of like crying. I know you had others with you ,but It looked like you were on your own at that point.. Maybe birds? But anyway that place is amazing!
@@Alison_Bennett It was kind of creepy and sad at the same time..not saying it's paranormal ..Maybe Abandoned World Explorer knows what it was.. But I got goosebumps when I heard it. I do believe in ghosts ,but I am one to investigate first.
@@racheallange2056 yes it was creepy and sad. I have had quite experiences in England castles and 1 home experience in the States but that was years ago .
@@Alison_Bennett I have seen things other don't all my life ..I have been to Waverly Hills in Louisville, Kentucky many times ..Lived in an old farmhouse in Kentucky ..but now I live in Bavaria,Germany .now it is a new ballgame ..I had to deal with a grumpy old man who liked to growl at me..LOL He was harmless but grumpy.
Excuse me for saying so I have not seen any of this channel in America all in Europe and 90% are VANDILIZED why you point the Finger at America when it happens all over the Globe Choose your Words more carefully please 🙏 Anyway Awesome Video Guys as Always.
I watch a few urban explorer videos, I'm from the UK, but some I watch have been all over to different countries, and this behaviour is worldwide, it's a human thing, some people just want to destroy, or leave their own mark on a place. I don't get it either, but it doesn't only happen in America.
@@Kazza_8240 Exactly most of what I watch is this channel and about 90% of the Video's are vandalism and they are not in America and your right it happens all over the Globe Crazy...Don't know why she pointed her finger at AMERICA ? That's where I am from.
O they destroy in germany like maniacs. You can’t leave nothing out here without it being vandalized. I’ve done some exploring years ago around here and not one place wasn’t destroyed and I’m talking about really badly destroyed. It’s sad. It’s done all over the world
Oh my goodness 😍 I am so in love with this place, it is a beautiful gem. You get a sense of the love that is in here. I would love to make this a home once again. Thank you so much for sharing this with us Dave. And I hope you had a wonderful birthday xxxx
This place just kept on blowing my mind totally. Each room was just amazing. I sat spell bound watching. It was like a dream! I think without a doubt this the BEST explore vid ever on RU-vid. This #1. Nothing can compare.
By far my favorite video. Just started looking at your videos 2 weeks ago and started at the oldest and I'm working my way up to the most recent ones. I love how respectful you are and look forward to more videos from you
Hello from the U.S. I'm in the Ohio. I absolutely LOVE your content! I cannot stop watching. This is my favorite so far as well! I can't imagine how thrilling it must be to actually see them in person. You're living my dream life. Take care and be safe!
From everywhere to nowhere ... without the softest of echos of what used to be - True, the days were most beautiful, the starry nights beyond compare - thank you for the Memories, though painful melancholy returns ...
Well I loved this place! I love all the secret panel doors and the amazing matching rooms. Wouldn't do the whole roon like that in my own house but think it just looks so grandeur with all the draping over the beds etc. Awesome.
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Gigantic and beautiful. As I watch this I wonder what happened, where did they go and why was it all left. Awesome awesome video. Thank you.
WOWSERS ❗This is Mansion is absolutely amazing and stunning ! It is so sad that it is standing abandoned. I could have spent a whole day, just checking out all the books and photos. Magnificent ceilings, artwork, and the staircase was astounding❗ Thank you guys for sharing your adventures. Joy & peace😁✌✨
Just a beautiful mansion loved the architecture. Staircase fireplace mirrors theatre and the gold on the walls the painted pictures the beds thanks for an amazing tour Dave and guys 🤗🇦🇺🌹👍♥️🍺 from Australia
I’ve seen several of your finds & I’m so impressed. They are in relatively good shape & such interesting places, some with such heart felt stories. What a grand huge maze, so many doors! Thanks for the tour I loved it.
Hi, the Abandoned Castle was the Most Amazing, Beautiful One I have ever seen on any video! Only 1 thing that bothered me, was not open the window to let the bird free & come back later & closing the window! You 3 did a great job filming this video in every room! Take care & stay safe, Love from Rantoul, Illinois
Wow I am In ❤. Beautiful. Love everything in the home. Why did they disappear it makes no sense. So sad the place needs love. Thanks for showing this wonderful place.
@Real Aiglon You are not looking very hard, architectural thieves rip out things like fireplaces, lead guttering, anything copper, flagstone flooring etc.
