He Was A Dark Man! ~ Untouched Abandoned Mansion of Mr. Jean-Louis 

That is a custom job of a craftsman, the banister of the stairs, the decor, those fireplaces! Homes were crafted with great loving care and built to last for generations as a legacy to pass down back then. Those children were well provided for, obviously, with those bedrooms filled with lovely personal touches.

I truly enjoy your channel. You have a wonderful way of bringing history to light. I also wanted to thank you for being respectful and caring with the properties that you explore.

Beautiful house and grounds. Actually a cozy looking home, without all the taxidermy.

Amazing pieces of furniture in that house, some really nice Art Deco armoires and credenzas …but it was weird to see those crucifixes placed upside down inside the rooms..

I'm fascinated by the wallpaper in this house. On first impression, the designs look 1930's but I've not seen so many as striking as these geometric/floral prints. The one in the hallway and the up the staircase was very bold, almost as if it was designed in Minecraft, haha. Maybe, they are specifically French and somewhat niche; definitely Art Deco!

Fascinating tour of this home! The stuffed animals displayed in such weird ways seem rather dark to me. I once went into a friend’s mother’s house as of to my horror there was a table sitting on top of an elephant foot!! I don’t understand that mentality. Thank you for posting this!

Hi Leslie & crew. Recently discovered your channel. Now I can't stop binge watching. As someone who reads quite a lot of nonfiction on time periods you are entering I wanted to mention that it was quite normal for the children to be raised by a governess or nanny. This may explain the small, barren rooms you find throughout these homes. And it was also common that after dinner the men and women would separate. The men for smoking and drinking, men subject conversation. The women for tea, afterwards they would meet up for entertainment, music, piano or solo singing.

Thank you for the video of this gorgeous Art Deco house, the music box was a common item for girls, and a very nice find.

Kind of scary to see the crosses upside down in the bedrooms.

I always enjoy these videos. They remind me of the time I lived in Europe, 1980’s-1990’s. Greetings from Washington DC!

The furniture is beautiful!

the animal trophys for younger people today may find it hard to understand,but hunting was how people fed themselves decades and centuries ago.Its the history of the people and their homes and shouldnt be shyed away from.You make these documentaries very interesting and i can see how much you love history as we all should .I think there may be a time we see a majour tv station sponsoring a new series ,but make sure you are the presentor.Leslie .ps you inspired me to spell my name with a ey as i had untill reaching an older age.

What a beautiful town to see. The bell was so nice to hear. This house's countryside setting on top of a hill was charming. The interior was almost timeless looking like the owners would return anytime. So many personal touches coming through from the owner, his hobbies, personal taste in beautiful furniture and paintings. The piano:) Those squirrels were very unusual, though I am a fan of our animal friends I realize that this all happened long ago in different times. I am always amazed at the grand attics in these mansions, they look like the inside of a bygone wooden ship. I really liked the hobby horses and period era hats, what a nice touch, again thank you for sharing with us.

We immensely enjoy your explorations as well as your comments. Have tried to watch other channels. They seem rather insipid compared to yours. Your knowledge and respect for the property of others are rather remarkable. DO NOT STOP! We send you and your team blessings and safe travels, free from harm.

Hi Lesley and friends, 😘 I think that this place is amazing. I'm glad people didn't destroy this place. I truly felt like this place was a time capsule. The man's family must be rich because they left everything behind. Thank you, Lesley! I enjoy this video very much. See you next week.😘

He was a widower and probably went to sleep in a former room of one of his children. It's hard to sleep in the bed and bedroom that you spent your wedded life with your beloved. I know that as a widow myself. I understand completely. I love the light switch. It's a lovely house.

Heyy dear Lesley, how are you doing my friend?! - Wow, that's again an absolutely fascinating mansion you found in France. I am completely amazed by the craftmanship of the furniture with the intricate carvings. Although the main living room is holding beautiful furniture, I also find the display of the taxidermy animals very disturbing to see, - but that is something, you find from time to time in houses of rich people and in castles. When you were showing the menu card I found behind you on the marble top of the cabinet a beautiful vase manufactured in cameo glass, - from the art nouveau period. And - the huge mirror has a typical art deco shaped frame. Absolutely beautiful!! - Wow, - and the clock with the lady and the peacock on the chimney mantlepiece together with the two matching side urns is after my opinion a legit masterpiece of the art deco period. As far as I could see the lady statue is made probably of bronze and ivory in combination, called "chryselephantine". The most famous artist of the early 20-th century, who made overwhelminmgly beautiful masterpieces of statues in this techniqe, was Demetre Chiparus, who was born in Romania and mainly worked in Paris. - I presume, that set is alone a fortune worth! So amazing to see! Also this lamp on the ceiling of the hallway is pure art deco. - Every room was a surprise of its own!! So many smaller antiques standing on the mantlepieces and in beautifully carved display cabinets,... and so on. - In one bedroom there was a corner shelf with very different items, and I saw two typical tin wind up toy figures from the german toy company "Schuco", presumably from the prewar period. - But on the other hand there was one rather disturbing detail visible: a turned down crucifix over a bed! - Actually a very sinister sight! - And -then again I also loved that beautifully furnished living room with th red art deco armchairs and an absolutely amazing amount of different antiques everywhere visible in this room. - The beautiful velvet curtains add ideally to the rich and elegant atmosphere of this room. Walking in mind together with you through all these rooms really made my heart jump! I was nearly speechless to see so many well preserved antiques from different art historical periods. Absolutely overwhelming! - This is after my opinion one of your best and most spectacular explores you were doing in France, - a true time capsule in partially museal quality, which should by all means be preserved. Thank you so much for taking us on tour through such an exceptionally beautiful mansion. - Wishing you still a lot more fun together with Maureno in the USA. Stay safe and many hugs, my dear friend and bro! - God bless you all! - Peace and kindest regards!

The wounded energy of the animals is very disturbing

Despite the creepiness of the taxidermy..this is my favorite place that you have explored . This brought tears to my eyes , I'd absolutely love to own this.

What a beautiful time capsule,the antique furniture are amazing but I don't like stuffed animals.It's hard to see this and it hurts so much😭I will never understand why people shoot animals just for fun,it's disrespectful to the animals to stuff them and then display them as decorations or furniture like this.It's cruel!!!So thank for the video.Have nice weekend!

Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in the twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you're no longer accumulating but withdrawing, it's hard to be anything but cautious.

That bedroom in the Attic was made especially, it's magnificent, my Dad built me a small version of this design in my parents bedroom to give me my own space as there was only one bedroom

My favorite way to spend Sunday night with the bro's of decay, much love from Vancouver 🇨🇦 stay safe and have a great week as always you made my weekend 🐾

Heloo.!!! Nice video, great place... Greetings... 🇲🇽🌹👍🏻

The combination of dead animals, and especially the upsidown cross in the main bedroom gives me the creeps 😩

Hi Lesley hope your well ,looks like another great find we all appreciate your dedication,much love Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️

Another fascinating experience. Interesting how the home seams staged professionally like an exhibit. So many items do not have dust marks when picked up. The home Is all typically furnished between early 1910 to 1930. Thanks again Leslie, well done.

I think this home is one of your best finds ,everything just left behind ,what a shame it’s jumpstart decaying

I friggin love your channel! Never miss an episode. You pick the best houses.

Greeting from Front Royal, VA. Leslie and team, you are incredible and provide hours and hours of enjoyment. One question … have any relatives come forward because they have seen their relatives’ house in your show? Don’t ever stop exploring!

its sunday again..nice ( havent seen the normal singer sowing machine yet ) ??

What a beautiful little town that is I just love these charming little towns. This is quite an interesting place & those animals are a bit unnerving for me. Stay safe you guys Much love❣️

Seriously? Nobody noticed the upside down cross above the bed in that room? 27:15. How do you miss that? There is another upside down cross on the nightstand here as well. 39:52.

The workmanship in furniture always amazes me ,how clever people was way back an they didn’t have machines,beautiful home lv Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✋✋✋

Hi Lesley! What a strange intriguing place! I love the unique style of each room and how you try to figure out the story and the secrets left behind by observing carefully each and every detail! I'm completely fascinated with this abandoned mansion! Great exploration, as usual!

It is a beautiful place, thank you for bringing me along for the journey!! Nicely done!!! :)

That house is beautiful! I love the attic! It's great how they kept it clean!

Hi Leslie. Another great find!!!! Thanks for another great video!! I ordered a t-shirt for my birthday… can’t wait for it to arrive …. I was surprised you had never seen a music box before.. ??

How did the last person to leave the piano room leave... the door was locked AND furniture was awkwardly barricaded against the door? Did they hop out of the window too?

I enjoy your videos and they are very well made you respect the home's you going into you put things back in there places if you pick something up.. A true gentleman.. Bless you.. From South West Virginia.. Happy New Year..

So much hidden Beauty in this world presented by you in such a beautiful way with such lovely music in the background thank you so much. ❤

This living room and furniture it’s the best I’ve seen so far in your different houses/castles videos that you’ve showed!, love the redish pinkish colors and the sofa and chairs style!, they look very comfortable!, and the curtains, beautiful! Love it! 13:21

Upside down crucifix could just be the cross of St Peter who was supposedly put on an inverted cross, it’s seen a lot and doesn’t immediately mean satanic worship. Love your trips to these beautiful houses and I love love the fact everything is left behind, people comment that things are worth so much money today and why can they not be saved but that’s sort of the point , you can’t take it with you and we see through your videos lives once lived.X

Like I have stated before...at least the kids don't trash it. ! So much more respect than US. Great job Lesley!!!!! The animals were sorta of disturding. Thanks again!!

You did a wonderful job displaying this rather disturbing home. The taxidermy was sad to see. I wish this owner's family would remove the poor, dead animals, and properly bury them. They deserve that respect. Also, equally disturbing was the crucifixes that were turned upside down in two of the bedrooms. That is quite evil that someone did that intentionally it would seem because it happened in two rooms. It's not your fault. It was just my observation. Thanks again for all your efforts, and continued luck with the channel! Blessings...💚

Sehr schöne Führung…wow, was für ein schönes Haus, Lesley….Freue mich auf weitere Abenteuer mit Dir.

Hello watching you all the way from Mobile Alabama in the United States love seeing all of the old abandoned places my Gram's said I was born with a old soul.

Hey Lesley! How are you? You are my favorite explorer. I love your videos, always awesome! 👏😍🇧🇷

Absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking property!!! The antique wooden furniture was epic!!! The marble tops on the furniture was beautiful!!! Yes, my grandmother smoked in her bedroom all of the time! She didn’t have an ashtray in there so would set her lit cigarette on the edge of the dresser while she dressed… forgetting it on occasion…at times it would burn down, burning the wood & leaving marks😳 Thank heaven it never started on fire😢🧐😖 The taxidermy was a culture thing…but the cruel foxes that were trapped, were disturbing!!! The wall paper was sooo well put up that I was amazed that it was still hanging beautifully!!! Sad that all of the gorgeous wooden furniture & keepsakes, such as the China & crystal couldn’t be saved & reused & enjoyed by another 😞 Thank you Leslie, for another spectacular adventure!!! I loved it ❤️❤️❤️

Love your videos. Thought it was strange how the locked room actually had a table in front of the door on the inside of the room. Evidently, whoever last exited from there also crawled out the window. The stuffed animals were strange, but everything else was awesome. Sad to see a place like this begin to fall apart. This one is still in great shape compared to some you have covered, but I did notice water damage, stains on the ceiling and around a couple windows. It's sad. You would think someone would come forward and claim the place so at lease some of the contents could be saved. The stuff is old and priceless. Jus beautiful. Keep up the great work. I watch your videos often.

Wow this place…! What an amazing job you guys have! Love your videos!

The man with the cat in his beard in the photo is Louis Coulon! His beard was 11,' and he posed for many postcards. I wonder if that's just one of his postcards or if he was known to the homeowners.

Lesley, congrats. for doing these videos for eight years. I think I have been a subscriber for five. This house has a very beautiful interior in some areas but the animal displays and upside down crosses was very disturbing.

Caro Lesley , come sempre ci trasporti tutti con le tue emozioni. Quando hai aperto il Carillon mi sono scese le lacrime, come se tutta l'energia della casa fosse uscita da li. E insieme al lettino con gli Angeli e il passeggino in soffitta tutto è ritornato al proprio posto. Sei e siete veramente grandiosi. Tu e le persone che ti aiutano. Porta un saluto a Jordy.

In all the bedrooms there were upside down crosses. Why? The last bedroom before the attic didn't have the cross on the wall but the crucifix on side table was turned over. Creepy. I hope you pray after leaving these places so you take nothing home with you.

It looks a set for a Steven King horror movie, upside down cross over the bed props. The furniture is amazing. Were the people that lived there vaporized? Such personal items left un moved for the entire house? Unreal huh? Your camera work is top notch 👍 love your channel 😉

Love you reviews, they are always interesting and cover so much. Just want to say the decoration above and around the chandelier in the old houses is a moulding, but are called ceiling medallions. Keep up the good work.

I love watching the videos you made. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the new ones. Did you notice that the cross above the bed was upside down in one of the rooms? I was blown away, especially when I saw it together with the music box.

OMG !!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL THE WOOD !!! IN FACT ALL THINGS WOOD !!! AND THE FIREPLACE'S !!! I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE RESPECT YOU SHOW FOR EACH PLACE YOU SHARE WITH US !!!

Definitely one of your best so far ! You amaze me that you still come up with these incredible properties -

I always watch your videos, I love how you capture every detail. Show the date in which year it was made. Everything about this house I liked was the stuffed animal stern. I feel sorry for the animals. Thanks a lot.Sorry for my English, if there is a mistake in the text, I use a translator to thank you

The places often remind me of my childhood memories. (Of grandparents and neighbors so much I'm glad to experienced in life and now with you.

I can just imagine how beautiful this house was. Get rid of all those cobwebs and dust. Fantastic!!!

Beautiful time capsule! The animal isn't a washingbear it is a badger. And the photo under the radio wasn't it a picture from Charles de Gaulle? But I'm not really sure

All those upside down crucifixes! That’s a bit creepy. Still a beautiful place full of oddities.

Interesting he isn't familiar with music boxes, they're common here in the US. Love this channel!

Man that was so different..But so cool..You got a awesome voice..💯👊🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

Hi brother, I am from Assam(India).your videos are so nice.

I love the fascination in your voice. That makes me, be even more fascinated 😂

Hi Leslie, just love your videos

Absolutely fascinating and beautiful! I really like the way you took your time! Keep up the good videos exploring 😍🥰😘

This is beautiful. Love the red room. The children most likely had to take Piano lessons. Obviously the man had a hobby of taxidermy. The home is not trashed! The nail or whatever that held the cross correctly probably fell out. Glad there didn’t hoard. Very neat in the cupboards. Horse pull toys.

I always enjoy your explores. The "washing bear" (I think that's what you translated it to) umbrella stand is a badger in English.

Thank you so much for this remarkable tour. An amazing piece of history frozen in time🙏🏻😍🙏🏻

I feel like I’ve been on a date just watching you and listening to you it is so much fun you make every I get the sewed great thank you so much God bless you dear

Beautiful blues of course xx Favourite blues . So familiar. LOL. Very. Definitely a lifetime. Yes hurting me instead of heal ing me up and letting me get back to work. Burbs feeling. Must fix this issue with the Drs.

Wieder ein großartiges Video, wie immer 🙏interessant und informativ ich bin absolut kein Freund von ausgestopften Tieren und der auf ein Brett genagelte Fuchs mit hängendem Kopf war furchtbar anzusehen aber das ist natürlich alles Geschmackssache. .Danke euch und bleibt gesund 🙏💓💖Greetings from Germany 🙋‍♀️🥰🇩🇪

Oh how I’d love to redo this beautiful house. I love to explore with you.

disturbing and very neat, made me feel like there was something not right about the man!

Hope your doing good in America, you are an old soul Lesley, you send that through your personality in your videos! Great one here❤️🥰

Hello Lesley ! Nice to join you today ! For my point, it's not you who will disturb the people sleeping but those bells that we can hear behind you ! lol ! WHAT NOISE ! lol

I love the wallpaper it decorates the room with the antics any castles or mansions with wallpapers decorates even if the ceilings or walls are deteorates

You always find great places to explore. Great job my friend , you always tell a great storyline

Una casa muy entera aún sin humedades y un atico en buenas condiciones. Saludos desde México.

Those toy horses on wheels are quite sought after in the antique/collector's market. Shame to see them just mouldering away 😔

Beautiful wall paper and dine so well. What an interesting place. Glad it hasn't been destroyed by people. Thx for sharing 😀

Always amazing ❤️ Love your videos. You give such honor to the history of these places. Thank you for showing the respect you do. I always look forward to see what you discover. Many blessings to you ❤️

I noticed they updated a few things during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.

Another great episode! Thank you!

متابعة لك من السعودية. احب قناتك. كنت من زمن اتابع المنازل المهجورة عشوائيا في يوتيوب وانستقرام. لكن بعدما وجدت قناتك اصبحت مصدر شغفي في البيوت المهجورة. هذا القصر جدا رائع ورق الحائط من اروع مارأيت. يوجد سجاد ايضا لفت نظري. كل شي جميل باستثناء الحيوانات المحنطة. اتمنى ان تستطيع قراءة تعليقي. فانا لا اجيد الانجليزية 😊

absolutley breath taking

Fantastic place minus the dead animals. If that were my father's house I would clean out the dead animals, clean and redecorate. Also open all the windows and do a cleansing with Palo Santo and live there. That man had bad energy I think.

amazing footage!!! love them! keep them coming please!! ❤️❤️❤️

Oooh!how relaxing to watch your videos!!!!!

The animal displays are hideous but the home is a wonderful Art Deco time capsule. Fantastic chandeliers. So many expensive pieces left to just decay - sad.

It's a badger. Yes the owner was a bit cruel. Beautiful home. But horrible owner. What a shame. Yes they smoked in the bedrooms. Everywhere in the homes. Everything left as it was He only cared for hunting dogs. He had a cruel soul. Great video of an amazing home. But the family doesn't seem to want anything to do with it either . Wonder why the room was locked away so strongly? Shame. Amazing find. Very unusual. Thank you, Leslie. Incredible

The paintings are so gorgeous it is hard for me to understand the waste. I can’t stand it

This mansion got many interesting antique things, lot of money of the person in this place, it’s really sad to see no one are interested to keep its alive, sad to see it’s got abandoned, thank you for sharing

Incredible video Leslie....enjoyed watching. Great work.

Super Great narrated by you,,You love what you do,,thx,a lot for travel us in those amazing places frozen in time 🌹
