Inside the Enchanted Abandoned Château in France!!!! 

This and others like this makes my heart hurt and sad.

Can you hear the footsteps echo in these halls? When time and nature shows us how all of us can fall. Without love or care we fall into despair and like this empty home that stands oh so forlorn, this saddens me so for once this was a home... 🏰 Ruby* Some places call to you and this one did for me. Heartbreaking to see such beauty disregarded. Thank you for showing us, I appreciate all you do for us in showing us all these forgotten places. Wishing you a lovely weekend...

Oh Oddie, to have seen this beautiful mansion in its day would have been glorious! If I was only had millions of dollars, I would go around finding these gems and put them back to their previous, magnificent glory ! 😞☹️

Thank you Oddie, and Bob as well! Heartbreaking to see such a beautiful building left to rot.

What a stroke of luck! Much thanks to generous Bob. We did get to see inside after all Oddie! That makes me happy. I think it could be saved. The roof needs a lot of work and clearing out the junk would take awhile, but the bones are still good. All the wonderful old fireplaces and woodwork and doors are still there. I hope your plea is heard by the officials of the town. It deserves to be saved,❤ and when they save it, they should put up a plaque giving credit to you. Or a commission from the B&B...or both!

Thank you, Bob, for allowing Oddie to use your footage so we could explore this wonderful place!

Amazing to hear your passion for historical buildings. I share your sentiment 👍

Hi Oddie, this is just so incredibly sad, such a stunning historical building just left to decay and the ravages of time. Thank you for your hard work in getting us to see this beautiful Chateau and thank you to "Exploring the unbeaten path" for allowing you to show us his excellent footage. xx

Thank you for taking us on the tour Oddie. And much love to your cat!

A huge thank you to the channel that shared this with you. I will subscribe to them. One good turn deserves another. Yes the shrine looked just like the one you saw at the store. I had never known about those before. Thank you for showing us things we’ve never seen.

Love that we got to see the inside! Well half happy lol! I wish I could be saved so sad! Thank you for sharing love all your videos! Peace Love and light from Kansas USA!

So sad! Thank you, Bob for sharing! 💙

THAT WALL PAPER IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

During World War II my mother was a registered nurse and stationed in France. They would nurse the GIs in castles, chateaus and the like. I would be mesmerised by her accountings.

The Squirrel Man is almost worthy of an episode himself

What a heartbreaker. You could see the quality of workmanship and materials that were used in the building of this grand lady. I can still imagine it in happier days filled with life in all the grandeur of a vanished age. What must it have been like to live alone in something this size, and to have to watch it grow shabby and decayed around you, and not know how to stop it. This would have been a woman of a time, not so long ago in the grand scheme, when women were so often made helpless and dependant upon the wiser heads of men. Thank you Oddie, so sweet to bring this to us so quickly. Health and happiness to you and Odette Dear Man.🖤🇨🇦

As you say my friend a beautiful property and indeed worth saving and investment made to repair as it could not lose as a bed and breakfast, ghost tours maybe as well.

If this beautiful building had been in the UK the national trust would have taken care of it. Nevertheless, still interesting to see inside and thank you Bob.

This just crushes my heart: to see all the elegant craftsmanship go to ruin. If only earlier someone had the imagination to restore this unique beauty.

Makes me so sad to see these magnificent builds being left to rot. Wonder who lived there, what did they look like? What was life like? Parties? Drama?

Poor lady, I cannot imagine her fear. That must have been magnificent in its day. I agree, save those documents.

How incredibly tragic. A magnificent place like that allowed to fall to ruin. You can still see the beauty, even in that condition. That should have been saved. Thank you for this follow-up. It was enjoyable and sad all at the same time

Welp as they say if the house still has "good bones" it can be salvaged. Heart breaking for those of is that LOVE history.

Oh how heartbreaking this is and no your not talking rubbish I too close my eyes and can see the fireplace lit up reflecting off the beautiful floors and the sunlight dancing off the stained glass windows thank you for that vision ODDy and oddett the stair cases are amazing

You're totally right,a restoration will make the village grow and known! Your entrepreneur mentality... Always seeking the positive

maybe the roof was leaking while she was still living there and she moved everything she could to save it from the leaks

Very cool, thanks for sharing! ❤️

Oh my goodness, it is so sad to see the condition inside the place. It is so beautiful on the outside, one would never expect the ruin and chaos inside. It would be lovely to see photos of the inside from "back in the day". Thanks for sharing....I bet you are itching to go back and see inside for yourself ? I would be.

Tremendous stuff sir, very intriguing and splendidly narrated as per usual. Thank you for all the work you have done, blessings ever from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Makes me so sad to see that place so neglected. I am imagining what it looked like in its prime. I bet it was stunning! Thank you for sharing with us! ♥️♥️

Ohh yes thank you Oddbod I have seen the inside then from their channel. First job the roof..... get to it xx Big Hugs.

How sad to let this beautiful place go down like that. Thankyou so much for sharing this. Thanks Bob.

Oddie. .. yes I remember how much you desired to enter the chateau... whatever works as they say. You have such sensitivity regarding the past. I laughed when you mentioned going back with a time machine and entering wearing a tall black hat.... your the best. Thank you for the tour

It is satisfying to see the inside of the building. Too bad. Maybe a sketchy history that’s being avoided. Enjoyed the walk through. Nice narration.

A Whisper in the wind to the lovely woman who once lived there,God bless her,thank you and Bob, for for finding us all a way in to her home.it is truly an enchanted home,I hope it can be saved.

So sad to see the devastation inside. Thanks to Bob for letting us see his video. I'd hoped the inside was as nice as the outside. Lots of towns just the old go and build new in its place, and I hate it. So much history and beauty just gone. Thank you Oddie for following up on the leads and as always, I enjoyed your narration.

so kind of them to let you use their footage. Thank you for showing us this.

1st a big Thank You to Oddie and Bob for making this possible. Such a beautiful exterior, only to see the ruins. My favorite is the ornately carved stairways. Gorgeous! That fireplace too, wow! What an amazing bed and breakfast this would be if put back to its original state. I so enjoyed seeing the inside. Truly marvelous narration. Thank you both again for the trip through time ❤️❤️❤️

Yes Oddie the outside a bit beat up on the inside but beautiful nonetheless it would be a GORGEOUS b&b OR HOTEL if invested in.i can see it now!!!!! Thanks again!!!!

I'm amazed that some of the ceilings have collapsed despite the fact they were held up by oak beams, at least they looked like oak beams. Almost as if something exploded at the floor above it. Such devestation.. Someone should resque this place, and I think you're right, a bed and breakfast would be lovely.

I can see past the mess. it’s really fabulous

I have personally seen worse decay. Thank goddess the limestone stairs and walls are intact. Very exciting! My mind is sifting through every object in those rubbish piles...trash to the left and keepers to the right. Photograph everything. I will hold the intention that someone can preseve it. My ex-mother-in-law lives in Poitier so I will start with her. Thanks for tragic tour. :-)

Morning Oddie and Oddett, So glad we got to see inside, Thank you Bob also. Well my dreams were shattered, the damage was really Horrendous, I agree Oddie I think it's way to far gone to be restored, such a shame. The son should own up and collect those important documents not just for History sake, but for his sake and family history. @4:50 doesn't that look like a little boy in the paint work top right corner? Anyway I do hope something is done to save this Amazing Home. As long as they dump those poor animal heads. 🇭🇲🤗💔

I agree!!!SAVE THIS 😍PLEASE!Just amazing! The papers in the trunk!The furniture!THOSE FIREPLACES!Love this😍

A terrible fate for the century-old jewel Oddie. I was not surprised by looting but expected better condition, truly sad. Thank you and your tipsters, Oddie...

I would give anything to see these beautiful pieces of architecture but I'm just greatful to see it through your thoughtful eyes and descriptions. Thank you again Oddie your videos make my day. ♥️

This is so interesting, however heartbreaking as well✌🏼💗🐶 Hope you’re doing good Oddie!

Such a shame! So sad it breaks my heart! But at the same time you can still see glimpses of beauty from the original glory! She was an elderly lady toward the end so she couldn't take care of it like she probably did at one time. So tragic!! Thank you for sharing this. And thanks to these nice people who shared it with you Oddie. Do you remember me Oddie!? I know it's been a while as I had not been feeling well. Hope you and Oddette have been doing well. 😊❤️ Oh how sweet love hearing your sweet cat! ☺️🐈

Collaboration is magic! We were able to see the inside at last! Oddie, I wonder if its only money or even politics that is letting the chateau to continue to decay? Thank you and your fellow explorers for sharing!

Excellent ! But now I'm wondering if squirrelman hasen't been using the place for an antique honey hole and didn't want someone picking his stash...☺

Exciting! OH.....oh dear......oh dear dear.....what a shame...how sad. Thank you! Great to see either way.

I can just imagine being a traveling sales man telling them I have the first electric vacuum in the 18...omg I am not the only one who makes up senarios like this when i see an old house or thing...

Oddy, this is the saddest I have ever seen! Such a tragedy this is and thousands upon thousands of dollars in this building that still could be saved. Why are so many people so lax in caring for these old sites and stuff within? Made me cry but it was magnificent to say the least! Thank you so much for sharing!

Id could sort that place out no probs... The ceiling falls just make it look worse than it really is..Fix roof dry building!

I applaud anyone who has the money, time and determination to restore this amazing place. A bed and breakfast would be an amazing idea.

I realize that it is costly to maintain and repair these old structures. But, as a North American, it is this history that brings me and others like me to Europe. If these structures are lost, Europe's important historic identity will be gone. How extremely sad that will be. Thank you for bringing to light these treasures of the past.

Thanks so much for this. Well done to Bob for allowing you to use his video. Loved your narration, as always. That stained glass window on the stairwell is breathtakingly beautiful. If the current owner, now in a care home, had inherited the house, much of the contents may be heirlooms from family. Interesting to see the alarm motion sensors throughout. Beautiful, as it was at one time, I wouldn’t want to live there alone. It would be wonderful if you could trace her son and ask more about how his mother came to own it. I want to know more 🧐. Hugs from Portugal

I wasn't expecting anything quite like the palatial house left by Monsieur Mantin but this was pitiful, the sorrowful eyes on one of the taxidermied deer- a doe I think, she looks for eternity with such a deep sense of the loss of her forest- like opening a jewel box, in child-like expectation and finding a lump of coal or worse. But still marvelous- some paintings, stained glass and yes the fireplaces and the records the town should have- I would buy ANYTHING FROM THIS HOUSE IF I COULD. Thanks from an Oddite to the people from channel who were so kind- I will check them out too when I get time- getting a new laptop set up and experiencing nightmares! Hugs Have a great and safe weekend luv Zoe- don't you miss those kamikaze days of flashlights, wire cutters etc- breaking in- I make us sound like real felons, jewel thieves but when I was younger I used to attempt to get into abandoned places too! Looking up - that stained glass window- THAT breaks my heart- in my humble abode I have a window purchased for 130.00 CDN and "mended" for another 100.00- it hangs on my landing in front of the window and when the sun hits it- stained glass is SO expensive here and much in demand- there is a house in nearby Toronto does or did belong to a folksinger and she has on her second level landing a massive window and it is one of the reasons she won't sell- was the lady living here a relative of the original owner? I don't know too much about Tiffany and Co. but he was French- imagine if that window is Tiffany- like Mr. List's ceiling! Oops did it again- ran on in my P.S.- depression- I don't think I need to keep that private as many people suffer from it, it robs me of my memory, my vocabulary has shrunk- I wish to email you in private though about a story from "duller" Canada- don't get me wrong I love my country, I am patriotic and actually I am proud we have virtually no serial killers but, I did come across an Edwardian case...I should have written it down- could you let me know- luv Zoe. I WON'T BE BUGGING YOU AND DUMPING PROMISE JUST ABOUT A CASE AND WELL 1 sorta personal thing...Zoegashly

She tried to do what she could to take care of the place. It became to much for her and she didn't have anywhere else to go. My heart goes out to her. So sad.

Awesome!!! If anyone could do it, Oddie can! 🤸‍♀️ Thank you Bob.

Thank u 0ddie. Once again lov lov these walks Great to hear from u again 0ddie CALIfornia 💚🇨🇷here Good vibes added too.

I agree with you, Oddie, what a missed opportunity to let this place go. It could be a source of economy for that little town.

God bless the lady who lived there, it must of been a living hell. I pray she’s getting the assistance she so badly needs. Couldn’t the belongings be auctioned and proceeds go to the restorations of that beautiful piece of history?

Loved that. The work on the banaster was amazing

This building is definitively worth saving! I could see some fascinating gems in there!

France should be ashamed, to let this home go to ruin.

Sad to see the ills inside this stunning chateau! Losing something so magnificent to time is quite sad & hope it will find its own hero.

I watch several explorer channels and there's so many abandoned mansions across the world,especially in Italy. They're all so beautiful even in the state of decay. It seems the government doesn't really care to save them and the historical value. So sad. I imagine this particular chateaux was gorgeous in it's heyday. That fireplace says it all!! Thanks for taking us through via Bob.

Oh my word! Was the woman living there while it was falling down around her ears?? Why doesn’t France take care of their historical buildings like the UK does? The histories are deeply connected...goodness thats depressing.

Hi Oddie! It is a real shame!! But still beautiful!! Tfs- hello from America!!

Wow. What a shock! Just blows my mind how many beautiful buildings look like this. And ones that don't but are abandoned totally furnished and left to become this. Shameful and sad really. So many people have nothing. I'm sorry it wasn't what you hoped for Oddie...but glad you got to see it thanks to their generosity. May be better that you didn't have to stumble around in that. Thankyou for sharing and I can't wait for your spooky stuff!💔🎃👻🤗🇦🇺

I can just imagine how it looked in its glory years! Such beauty and craftsmanship. It's just a shame that so many memories and antiques are just rotting away and will never be remembered by loved ones or appreciated by People who enjoy the history of that time and future generations will never know what their family had what it was like to live there.

It's sad it's decaying. At the end, we saw her, and behind was an open hot water bottle, very much like the two vintage ones I still use today. Thank you so much and to the other explorers as well.

Yes Oddie, Yes, such a tragic loss to history! Could it be saved, can't say, but if it is to be, something needs doing very soon. Still, there were some nice pieces that survived and needs to be cared for. Still would have loved to be the one in there. Love the bannister on the stairs. One curious thing I noticed, was the figure on the stairs. Young lady in white with a post behind her and her hands folded immediately put me in mind of someone out of French history. Joan of Arc, my favorite figure of French history. She was burned at the stake in Rouen, France at the age of 19 by the English during the Hundred Year War between England and France. Fascinating to find that there, if that is, in fact, what it is. Still one of my favorites from history.. As a school-age child, I read everything I could my hands on about her. Well, curiosity appeased, but so sad to see it that way. I too had hoped it would have been better preserved than that. Many thanks to Bob for the tour video so we could see inside. Looking forward to your Halloween presentation.

I wonder how a hoarder feels if and when they realize all that stuff they have acumalated, they cannot take to the next life!? Thank you for that tour Odds!

Big Thanks to Bob 👍🏼 Tubers of the World , Unite . So pleased to see this . 🙏🏼 😽

this is very sad places like these need to be preserved its very sad to see a lovely place like go down like that

well done Oddie that was amazing footage you found! So sad the place is in such disrepair. I absolutely agree with you the French government should do more to preserve gems like this Chateau. The likes of which will never be built again. The red wallpaper at 9:26 looks to be original fabric wallpaper, I wonder if it is silk? You eluded the squirrel man somehow at least, but our 18th century vampiress remains ever elusive. Perhaps she has sought refuge in one of our many elegant regency town houses here in England! Thanks for the video and to the people who permitted you to use their footage as well.👍😊

"...maybe he was out gathering nuts." Haha made my day.😊 At least we can imagine what it must have been like.

I envision a Vampire walking amongst dark candle lit hallways, Red velvet and red silk, delicate tapestries, eerie music playing in a ballroom on the main floor, yet no one there to dance, ornate furniture, hand carved, hand painted, HUGE portraits with eyes that follow you around...secret passages, skeleton keys on a chain in hand as the vampire walks through the halls,..Hearing wolves in the distance, the moon is out to play with the night...hehe..My heart goes out to the elderly lady, she most likely had no family around, and she herself fell into disrepair mentally along side her once glorious chateau :-( THANK YOU ODDIE..another interesting find for the books...hehe ((HUG))

Such a sad state it has fallen into. Thank you to the viewers that pointed you to this video. As soon as the tour is over I'll pop over & subscribe to the channel.

My happiness was a bit short lived but still so happy to see the inside. She was such a hoarder Wow! What a shame.

Well done Oddy and thanks to Bob. So glad we got to see inside. Sad to see the condition but curiosity satisfied.

Always. A pleasure. 💞

You can see how lovely it once was. How terribly sad to see its sad state. Did I see a calander for 2017? It is such a tragedy to grow old and not have the strength or means to care for ones home or ones self. The photo looks like a pass port photo.

What a shame. The whole inside would have to be gutted out. At least they could keep the exterior. Thanks for showing. 💖

I can't BELIEVE you got us inside!! Sad about the state of affairs though. You still did it! Cheers Oddie & Oddette!! 👍😁

What a glorious place this must have been in its good years. So many treasures to be discovered. I agree, this placed should be saved.

Thank you Bob for sharing this! I wanted to also see the inside. I hope that this place can somehow be renovated. It’s beautiful despite all the “ junk.”

Thank you Oddy! When I saw the collapsed second floor, I knew it was gone, but thank you for showing us what you could.

Hi Oddie!!! I was glad to see the inside of the house. So much stuff in there for sure. Nice video. A fan&friend from USA. DiDi

So many beautiful architectural areas in this chateaux. The staircase is so beautiful. This place should be saved. It makes me sad that this once grand place sits now sad and lonely.

aw what a shame. I agree what a shame that they have allowed this to fall apart. I guess I have to agree with Oddi, that it would be nice to clean it up and restore it. I am so happy we got the opportunity to see it. Such a heart breaker, but its still enchanting.

When the pool table was shown my brain went to music and a grand party. 🥂 cheers to days gone by.

So excited when I got this notification. Gonna watch now. Thanks Oddie.

It's so sad that this beautiful place has been neglected :'(

My Dear Oddie : It was very nice of Bob to give you permission to share his visit inside the : " Enchanted Chateau ." Please pass all of our thanks along ! Seeing the interior of this decaying manson from an earlier time was bewitching but albeit sad also . Melancholy because that time and the lady who lived there have long since gone . Painfully sad and tragic that nobody with power or influnce has taken an interest in restoring and preserving this local historical treasure . Hopefully , perhaps your & Bob's videos will draw some attention to it . I'm looking forward to your upcoming Haloween special . Thanks again for all of the work you do . Take Care , & may God Bless you ! Steven

I’m fascinated by the Kennedy family in the USA. Grey Gardens Jackie’s family going from wealth to squalor. Love your videos sir. Gorgeous home, so very sad.

Such a waste and a shame. This was once a beautiful and stately chateau that people just don't care about anymore. Thanks Oddy❤

This is so sad. At the very least it seems that a few days of salvage could be done to save the books and documents, photos and furniture. It looks like a pile of garbage but if you look carefully there are thousands of dollars worth of antiques that would sell quickly to collectors.I never can quite understand why so much history that could be saved with just a few days of work is allowed to rot and ruin. Thanks for sharing.
