Abandoned Untouched Royal Millionaires Mansion - Royal Family Disappeared Out Of Nowhere 

Hey everyone! I FOUND ITS HISTORY! CREDITS TO URBEX INN! "Manoir de Auteur In a small village, secluded from the main road lies the Manoir de Auteur. For generations, the family has significantly shaped the fortunes of the small community. The mansion has more barrels of land than the eye reaches, and the whole city is actually built on the land owned by the mansion. The last generation who lived in the mansion was not so much for agriculture and they rented all the land away. The man was an author and spent most of his life sitting at the desk and writing novels. However, none of them was ever published. The lady at the mansion was a nurse and together they had 4 children. Gemini boys and a boy and a girl more. The family never lost anything because of the income from all the land rented and the sale of the land on which the city was built, and when the children moved from home, apartments were bought for them all in Paris, where they still live today. 15 years ago, the man died after a blood clot in the heart, and the woman lived alone in the old mansion for a few years until she died too. After the parents' death, the children met in the house and collected the items they would sell / keep. In order to keep renting the land rather than selling it, the mansion must remain and not be demolished. Then they knocked big wooden boards on all the doors and masoned the last one, and then they left the childhood home for the last time. That's how the mansion stood for a number of years, until at one time there was water damage in one part of the house, and the children started a renovation to avoid all that went on. And this was where the mansion was opened for Urban Explores. One of the workers opened the window for a little while when he went to work and forgot to close it again afterward. We arrived at the mansion very early one morning and walked through the woods to the main building. The main building was beautiful in the morning and we started looking for the little kitchen window. We finally found it and went inside. Just after we got out of the kitchen, we looked up at a wide red light ... an alarm! We found alarm boxes in 4 other rooms, all locked red when we entered. In a little half hour, we waited and hoped they did not send a signal to anything more. Fortunately, they did not and we could explore a couple of hours in peace." I'm so happy you guys are enjoying this video! I have a really big favor to ask. RU-vid is really not notifying my subscribers and it sometimes unnotifys people and I'm not sure why. It really sucks with all the effort I put in with traveling, buying expensive gear, filming, editing, etc. But this is what I love to do and so I will never stop! So please, if you enjoy my videos make sure that notification bell button is turned on and spread the word and share this video :) thank you! More adventures to come! I got more crazy explores.

Steve, Guys... Seriously, I love seeing all the abandoned places you have found. But let me clue you into some truths concerning ages, eras, and decades. I'm a 73 year old great grandmother. In your eyes that's definitely older than dirt. But, I never rode on a stagecoach, The Pony Express Co. didn't bring my mail, I ate frozen dinners, but guess what!!! I'm a BABY BOOMER!! I grew up with TV, air conditioning, radios, stereo music, and PASSENGER JETS! Yes! I even traveled on jets across the US in the 1950's! I flew on a Boing 707 all the way across the US in 1963 and 1964. In fact, it was commonplace for people to fly to their destinations in the 50's. I bought my first personal computer in the early 1990's. I bought music albums on vinyl, which is now coming back because of the sound quality. We went to see movies in theaters. We drove nice cars, with AC. We had babies in hospitals. The first heart transplant was performed in 1967. The first artificial heart was implanted in 1982. This isn't criticism at all...just a bit of info to put some recent decades and inventions into perspective. Life has changed a lot since I was born in 1946. It has been a lot of fun being a baby boomer. You would have loved that era! We invented 'cool'.

1995 was like yesterday, love how these kids are describing it as if it were the 17th century. 😂

The Rabelais book at 4:48 is by François Rabelais who was a French Renaissance writer, physician, Renaissance humanist, monk and Greek scholar. He has historically been regarded as a writer of fantasy, satire, the grotesque, bawdy jokes and songs. Because of his literary power and historical importance, Western literary critics consider him one of the great writers of world literature and among the creators of modern European writing. People use Rabelaisian to describe someone or something that is "marked by gross robust humour, extravagance of caricature, or bold naturalism". That book was probably an original copy of one of the comic masterpiece, The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel, which is a pentalogy of novels written in the 16th century by François Rabelais, which tells of the adventures of two giants, Gargantua and his son Pantagruel. The text is written in an amusing, extravagant, and satirical vein, and features much crudity, scatological humour, and violence.

7:42 This is the formal portrait of Prince Charles de Bourbon - Siciles died in 1949, and the Lady is Princess Mercedes de Asturias she was the Heir to the Spanish Throne...

Seems like the food on the table was left there by a squatter maybe a year before. All the liquid would have evaporated if it was there for many years and would be powder by now.

Hey ! I just wanted to say that the postcard you found was just showing a chimp of a place the aunt of the family went. In the text of the card it said that the chimp name's was Zippy and that they were sending a lot of kisses to the family. So it wasn't a pet of the family :) (I'm French so sorry if my English is not that good... I really liked your video)

I really liked the Armoire in the kitchen. But you showed yourself not the house. I would've liked to see the stairs and wood paneling as well as ceilings, lights and furniture.

“It’s a book with lots of maps in it” - AKA, an Atlas! Oy

The pics you said were probably from the 80's were probably more likely the 40's or early 50's. We had color photos in the 80's lol.

At 11:00 . Those blue and white tiles on the left, in the fireplace on the walls, are probably 17th century Delft pottery. VERY highly collected and VERY expensive.

It's very sad to see those things abandoned, they has the memories of their owners, and beyond a historical valour, there is the sentimental valour.

What you need to remember her is that these people had no internet, thus the shelves and shelves of books. Because you urban, you likely don't have to much free time, but think about everything you read on the internet they learned from books, lots and lots of books. Also, as far as trade, keep in mind that in Europe the countries are close together and not at all unusual for people to speak 3-5 languages. I live in Texas and traveling to San Antonio for me is a 5 hour drive. Imagine how many countries I would enter and leave driving 5 hours in Europe! What I loved about this house is that there was no vandalism and no graffiti!!!!

I loved the house but feel let down. The two explorers with you said the place was huge and there was a painting of the guy you showed us in the book. We didn't see a lot of the house, saw a lot of things written in French, some albums where we didn't even get a good look at the pictures and nothing about an attic or basement. I am going to go to some of your other sites and see if you posted a bunch of pictures. If you did, it would be great if you added the link in your description.

To many selfies and not enough of the exploration. You should pan the room's slower, we want to see the content not the RU-vidr.

Cant see the rooms......you are in front of the camera too much

Stevie - Thank you for the great laugh! It was the best I’d had all week!! A tiny bit of advice, if I may be so bold... try reading a few books yourself before your next video. Find some modern history compilations to start so you can get at least a general idea of the worlds timeline for the last 100-150 years or so. Even hitting just the “BIG” items, I.e. - Civil War, Suffrage for women and African Americans, WW I/WW II, the Great Depression, Korea, Vietnam, The Beatles, disco, landmark advances in science and technology, etc. It will be very instrumental in providing legitimacy to your videos. Not to mention keep you from sounding idiotic when you talk about things from the 90’s as “SO OLD”!! No one expects you to be an expert on everything, but when you do comment on something there should be a modicum of reality based truth involved. I don’t wish for this to sound harsh or be offensive, but I believe that you truly do love doing this and my hope is that you will take the comments written for you as an opportunity to make a better product. Many people watched and rather than just walking away (so to speak!), took the time to write and give advice. It’s a wise man who can receive instruction and put it to use in his life! Best of luck to you!

I wish so much that you had spent more time on showing the furnishings and the interior and not spent so much time showing the personal items (ie photos, books, etc). Also, you yourself spent a lot of time "on camera" -- showing yourself in the beginning and then the rest spent on showing what your video is actually featuring would be an improvement. Less of you on camera and more of the furnishings and the interior. To see inside an abandoned mansion in France and not get to see the interior and the furnishings is a shame! I'm a little disappointed to say the least.

The children's book you found was written in the early 60s called Where the Wild Things Are (but in French) and was a popular book during my childhood in the 80s:) Brought back many memories seeing it again.

The computer you saw was a Minitel 1. It was sold in the early 80's and was used to check stock prices, email and chat with other Minitel users. It was the internet before the internet blew up. I know it was popular in France. I'm not sure if it ever became a thing in the USA. Anyone here remember using them?

How old are you young one? The 80's for the pic on the mantle? How long ago do you think the 80's was? 😂 Those pics were from maybe the 50's or 60's! The 80's were (Madonna, neon clothes, loads of plastic jewelry and big hair, Flash Dance, Motley Crue and so on) You must be very young! The 80's. That made me laugh fr!!

They aren’t Polaroid pictures, they are ”slides” which you view on a screen. I still used them until approx. 1988. You had to use “slide film” in your camera, then your local Photography Store would develop them for you. You would get them mounted in those cardboard squares.Those squares, are then mounted upright, in a carousel, which is itself mounted on a slide projector. The slide projector turns the carousel to the first slid and places a slide in front of a bright bulb, so the picture on the slide is projected through a lens, onto the screen, so you can bore your relatives with your latest travel photos or pictures of your most perfect child in the world, pooping in a potty for the first time! 🤪😴💤 That is why, on iOS phones or tablets, the photo app will make up a “slide show” of related pictures. That is what using a slide projector was like, only you watched them on a portable screen like you do a movie, at a Movie Theatre.

Great video! Thank you for taking me places that otherwise I would never get to see !!! Keep up the good work !

This is a very unique place, I would of enjoyed it more to be able to see more of the rooms and architecture. All the fireplaces were unique and there wasn't any time spent on them nor the type of funiture they had. I mean a few pictures here there is fine but a lot lost because of them. Which I can see they are very interesting but I would of saved them after the video. That was a very interesting place. I always enjoy your videos but this time I felt disappointed. Thank you for all that you do.

I am just so impressed with how respectful and reverent you treat the homes and items found within. I will not watch any other explorer but Ronin. Kudos to you and your group.

6:59 This is a Minitel used commonly in France end of 70's until 2000, it was our internet at that time!

That food is probably 1 week old or so, otherwise glasses and the bowl would be dry, all the water would evaporate and the contents would be solid. So it was definitely left by the visitors, not the owners. Also, hide the pictures from the light, before they got faded. The chimp was just a postcard picture.

I’m in love with the woodwork. I guess you can tell the children already had money since most people would not leave such beautiful (and most likely valuable) pieces behind. I also don’t understand why their 4 kids would not want all the photos or momentos like the military hat, etc. Just beautiful!

These would be great educational videos if you were older and knew what you were looking at lol

The book on the sofa was about Rabelais, who was a French Renaissance writer, who wrote satire and also bawdy tales . He was also a physician.

Steve when you look at dish's please look at the maker on the back...thks

Sad to see such a beautiful place abandoned..Frozen in time... but yet still so much alive... Thanks Steve for a most awesome find.. Keep'em coming...

All your videos HAVE TO MUCH "SELFIES" of your face instead of showing the houses.

"The average millionaire reads a hundred books a year?" Sorry, I'm not buying that.

Would of been better if we could see the room and less of things from afar or seeing people seeing things we can't..

THE 80’s????? LMAO Are you kidding me??? Try like the 50’s! Come on man. I feel old enough!!

why dont you let us see the photos up close? why must we watch ONLY YOU looking at the old photographs, and from a distance? :( And i wish we could see what the titles and authors of the many books are in there.

Stay behind the camera, people want to see the place

Be gentle with old books.

How do you know it was a royal families home. Too much time spent on your own faces and not enough on items seen.

If this mansion was abandoned in 1995, then ok, I'll buy that. But no way that whatever was in that bowl, had been sitting there since 95...

forget the pictures i want to see the mansion and its furniture

That computer that you tried to turn on was probably left on, and failed over the years. There's a hole in the phospher on the screen where the curser would normally be, and that's what leads me to believe that the computer had been left on.

Do more research into history and cultures. We want to see the rooms and furniture, less you. Think in terms of details and surprises for your viewers as you explore.

Wow..this one was fabulous from the beginning to the end ..the uniform on the bed and the hat I believe would have belonged to a high ranking Naval officer,which would fit in with Royals as it was mor acceptable than Army being safer..it has the air of the Marie Celeste where every one just vanished..it’s sad to see this beautiful home go to ruin when it could have been made into a museum or similar as people would love to visit it I am sure..Great video Steve looking forward to the next one 😀

Every time I think I’ve seen my favourite explore you throw an even better one into the mix! This one was outstanding. So much history and no destruction. It’s as if they genuinely got up and left never knowing they wouldn’t be returning. Great find 💋 xx

I didn’t get to see the building until the very last. I find it more interesting if you walk the perimeter of the building and then go inside and look at the rooms.

When he said "another chill lounge" about the parlor/sitting room I cracked up!! Just imagine the looks one would get calling it that back during times the manor was built.🤣😂

Yes, please stop commenting on what you think is going on! LOL "Probably less than 1% of people travelled back then.." Finding a military hat does not mean anyone is a high ranking general... So much wrong with that statement. Show more of the rooms and less of the photos and papers you find.

Makes you wonder what happened nearly 20ish years ago back during the 90s that made the family get up & leave it all. Photos, personal items and such. I would imagine that all the non personal items, like the computer and kitchen wear, would round up into a few millions of dollars. Not surprising that thieves come and go. And even if the owners didn't have heirs to the house, surely the France government would have claimed it all and such.

Your attention to detail and history is amazing. I'm glad not all young people are into the disposable mentality. This is an amazing find! I love the wedding and family photos. I would have been stuck there for hours just going through the albums.

This is becoming more and more entertaining, as he keeps making uneducated assumptions about the world that came before him. People have been traveling around the world, for a very long time. What will he say next? I can't wait.

Wear gloves and mask when ur vlogging because,I’d noticed u always tempted to touch anything and then scratch ur eyes...be careful.

Awesome location, nice find. Those types of finds are hard to come by!

You keep up the work, take some of the comments not as criticism,but to help you keep improving .I fully enjoy watching .It's so nice to see young people interested in architecture,and appreciation for old things.

It would be nice if you educated yourself on the period of the place you are visiting and had some basic knowledge of history of the architecture and design...you are walking around just guessing and you are way off base on many of your comments and descriptions. Also if the family is "unknown" how do you know they were Royalty?....makes no sense. I gave you a thumbs up just for the fact that you are sharing this lovely place with the audience, but would appreciate it so much more if you were more educated about what you are showing us.....

Did you just say that those pictures on the mantle looked like they were from the ‘80’s?? For you to be as well travelled as you are,you seem very uneducated and I don’t mean this as a derogatory statement. I watch a lot of your vids and you continue to amaze me. Keep traveling and strive to learn as much as you can from each city and country. Your opportunities are far different from many. You are privileged and blessed to travel and see the things you have so please honor that and learn, learn, learn!

You have to be careful touching old newspapers oil from our skin could disintegrate the papers faster

Hehe... that was not a microwave oven. And perhaps someone squatted the place, and was kicked out or left in sort of a hurry, to have left food on the table.

Breaks my heart to see such a beautiful place, furniture & the family memories go to waste, such an amazing find thanks for sharing.

I’m interested to see kitchen casserole and other baking utensils.😳

“I feel this place may have a little electricity left.” What the hell does that mean? Like, ah, what’s left in the wires? You need to not think out loud.

I love how respectful y'all are when you explore all of these beautiful left behind dwellings once full of life. Sad to me that people could come inside these beautiful homes full of history and steal and vandalize. How some cannot connect emotionally to the forgotten past and not feel lucky to literally walk through and see so much history. I just don't get those type of people and find myself feeling sad for those that lack that connection.

I have a question. Has any of the past home owners ever contacted u guys if so did they ever mention why they abondoned their homes?

At 18.50min. These are slides not polaroids;)

What Country is this house in? The photos on the fireplace are more like early 1920's. This is one amazing time capsule. Thank you for documenting it and therefore preserving it's history /it's story. Maybe the occupants died and the property is in Probate. X

Great Video. Amazing place you captured Steve

Amazing! 22:30-46 Is that a toilet (with jacket hanged on it) near the window? And a tub in front of it with door and the other side is the sink with a tv in the middle of them? Interesting design! Truly amazing!

WOW.....I tried to enjoy this but you are SO WRONG about SO MUCH. Maybe I should just turn the sound off

I think it’s sad to see abandoned homes untouched in years just left alone and I just wonder why did they leave where did they go why didn’t they pack anything and where are they now 😭

Love your channel! You have a lot of class that shows in your editing. Thanks for making this channel:)

François Rabelais was the book's author he is a French writer.

90% of the video is seeing you and your friends, almost the whole video is you filming your friends looking at pictures we didn't see. The whole house was maybe 8 minutes the rest is the explorers looking through stuff most we can't see.. moving on to a different explorer. Thumbs down for me.

This is a pretty awesome explore. Thank you for sharing. That info on the house is very touching. The kids not wanting to sell the property etc. Everything looks in pretty good order there, not falling apart quite like many homes that I have seen all you guys exploring. Also sad that his books never got published, but the joy that he must have gotten from writing them was probably worth it all.

Hilarious how the former occupants left pictures in windowsills, on beds, just everywhere. Even a military sailors cap on the bed and the matching jacket :) This vlogger used to place baby carriages at the bottom of stairs. Still. it's nice to see the inside of these beautiful historical homes.

I loved this one too !! But this could’ve been a two-parter it was so good & so much to see. I’d have liked to see China, silverware, clothes etc. you know “womeny” things. Thanks so much. I’ve seen a number of these videos but you’re my fav. 👍🏼

Good Morning #2 :) looking forward to this video

What a great explore Steve! Love the history of this place. Still a lot of stuff left behind. So glad the police didn't show up. Thanks for sharing this with us! Stay safe n God Bless.

I can't believe with ALL those letters, mail...etc. that was in that mansion, that you couldn't find any information on who lived there! Just because you do not know French, I would think that the more mail you found with the same name would have given you a clue as to who this family was! What a shame that somehow...the family seems to simply disappear, sometime in the 70's or sometime therein. The photos left behind is mysterious. One would think that the heirs of this family would have wanted to preserve this history. Very odd. I hope you continue to try and find who this family was, and what happened to them.

Is it weird that I find that there is not enough dust?🤷🏽‍♂️

Love your videos, but you move the camera way too fast. We miss so much that way.

I love your exploring videos Steve I dunno so many people come on here and leave nasty rude comments about your videos I think you and Josh do amazing work especially when you explore together.

Really great video and so glad you found out the history on it!!

Is it just me or does anyone else think its strange that he think the electric is still on? Who is paying that electric bill ?If I don’t pay mine they turn it off.

Massive WOW for you Man! Im in love in that Mansion..

Beautiful place! I think... You spent more time on pictures and papers that viewers couldn't see than you did the actual building!! I saw SO many magnificent architectural features that went wizzing by! The tiny bathtub, details of the armoires, the stairs--??? That COULD have been a great video! You need to turn the camera around and video the building! The ceilings! The hand-crafted wood furniture! A peek out the windows! Those rugs!!!

Great explore. Thanks for taking us along. Just an FYI for the future though ... "out of nowhere" is a term used when something "shows up/arrives" .... "without a trace" would be more fitting for a whole family just disappearing.

You seem like a nice kid. You need to learn a little history and get more informed as to what different time frames look like in photos. And guess what I traveled around France in 1978 after I graduated from high school.

the house is a dream, good video Steve. Amazing

Cette famille a eu un histoire incroyable et c'est honteux d'avoir tout abandonner!! Beaucoup de choses pourrais être sauvé encore ! Les boiseries et meubles de qualité 😭😢

Steve, thank you so much for sharing all these abandoned gems with us, and for more importantly, being so incredibly respectful of all the places that you explore through. I can see how careful you are to not disturb these historic places. Thank you for that.

No need to shove the person's belongings like that over a dead fly. Have respect for their belongings

Amazing, this must be treated with respect and this place should be protected against people with other intentions, this is private property!

I love your videos!!! I'm a 57 year old with physical Disability, but when I was in my teens I guess you could call me an explorer and I went to a Mansion in the wealthy suburbs that was from the 1800's when a McCormick married a Rockefeller they married and he had this mansion built for her while they traveled the world. She became pregnant and lost the baby after she went mentally ill and they never moved in. It was then bought by the mafia and later they were gone. It had an elevator shaft that went to the pool that overlooked Lake Michigan, anyway it was just ruins when I'd go there but it was almost like walking in a romance novel and never knowing the ending that intrigued me. Thank you for allowing me to walk into the mystical and romantic novel and I'll envision different endings. Much Thanks, LKiddell

I too was disappointed by a lot of erroneous comments and missing a walkthrough, BUT you searched for the history and I'm impressed at the effort that went into that. Experience comes with time. I watch these videos because I love antiques, old houses and history and exploring new places that I can't get to on my own. And, I love your location choices!

Wow this is so awesome !!! 😭 Your videos are literally so cool and amazing I love them

I am 28 sorry my friend not the 80s and I love history and documenatries in the 80s there was tvs colored pictures etc. 1995 I was five years old. You have got to research and know the modern history of time.

Wowee. Very cool! So many fascinating abandoned places. Ty for sharing it with us. Liked, shared and subscribed! :)

Hi! I'm a library science student from Philippines. Your vlogs were veeeeery interesting, full of stories of history and remarkable adventure. By the way, the Kodak you've found were slides for Slide Projector which are rare ones. I saw a bunch of books that were rare and old. For sure there were incredible titles there. It is just sad that the owners left them like that. The paintings, radio, TV, letters, and other stuffs there tell stories for sure. I hope the owners would preserved it or donate them in a library like British Library that for sure will take good care of it. It will serve as future references for the future. If the family really contributed something to their motherland, I think they deserve to be known and preserved thru their belongings. I hope they will collect it up again before other people will get it for their selfish and personal goals. I really wish that they would protect those books. Sorry for the long comment. Anyways, thank you for this one! ^^

Man you make our senses awake by this.
