The Abandoned Castle That Was Lost in a Doping Scandal! 

Please please Leslie ,can you say hello to my beautiful poorly mum , Marilyn lane ,she lives in England xx much love and we will send you money xxhelen

Please don't go so fast...you keep flying past really cool things. You miss a little wooden box and glide right past it to point out yet another rather normal fireplace. You continue on into a bathroom, pointing out the (not very fancy) feet on the bathtub, another normal fireplace, and even show how a drain closes. Then upstairs, you point out another sink yet ignore the fascinating chest. There is a really cool dresser in the servant's quarters you didn't even glance at. I love your videos!!! But the fast ones are so frustrating...

8:16 its a meat safe. Its to stop the meat from being fly blown (maggots)🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 you guys crack me up. "Bird cage for chickens"😂🤣😂🤣

Хорошо если б были русские субтитры, спасибо за видео, интересно.Привет с России.🇷🇺❤️

Good job well done...

Yes, in the US they are called pie safes and are still found in “country kitchens” and used when the refrigerator gets too full lol. They don’t just keep off the flies but old large homes have other bugs and rodents - especially out away from cities where there’s gardens and fields of vegetables and fruits.

Sounds more sanitary. Lol.

I was saying the same thing.

@@droolies7079 - lol 😂 I have 2 rather large pie safes in my home. One is old & used to store stuff. The other is one of my cabinets. I’ve never once stored my baked goods in one, however my grandmother did! They’re made so nicely! ❤️ I’m also in the states, in Tennessee

@@LillieT I have a old Hoosier cabinet that has one side a pie safe. In another life time I lived w-a-y out in the country in an old farm house when I was just barely grown lol. The corn wax planted almost up against the house lol. I wasn’t there a week and had put in those sonic sound deterrents and they worked great as long as all the food was in the fridge under glass or in a wire cage lol. Beautiful old house but seems like I only stayed there a year lol. AC wasn’t very prevalent then but heat in the winter was very popular and those old houses had newspaper for insulation lol

Here is what I could read: * This one I could read entirely: Madame [...] à Caen 1778 Madame, Nous prenons la liberté de vous écrire sans avoir le bonheur de vous connaitre en vous souhaitant une bonne et heureuse année accomp[...] (accompagnée) à une parfaite santé, ainsi Madame qu'à tout ce qui vous appartient; vous serez peut être surprise du sujet pour lequel nous vous interrompons, c'est la demande que nous avons l'honneur de vous faire pour un de nos parents qui se nomme M. le Fév[...] menuisier en bâtimens (bâtiments) lequel a beaucoup de prôtection (protection), et un grand talent dans son Etat; nous espérons, Madame, que vous voudriez bien nous hônôrer (hônorer) d'un mot de réponse, et nous faire sçâvoir (savoir) vos intentions, au sujet de Mlle[...] fille, le plus tôt possible. Nous avons l'honneur d'être avec tout le respect possible Madame - Votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur Sigour (signature) ind orfé(?) sire du gra(?) * The one from 1785 is about a payment to be due/made mentioning Mr. Charles Morin, unfortunately, they just browse too fast though it for me to be able to properly read it. * The one from 1788 (one year before the revolution!) is about a justice decision from 1785 on a case between M. Charles Morin and François something (could not read). From what I could gather, Mr. Morin was condamned and the present letter states that the decision was injust and contests its validity mentioning some contradictions etc. Looks like Mr. Morin was having some troubles he! I love the videos from Bros of decay, but to my great despair they unfortunately, they do not spend enough time on written documents like that... Yeah I'm a sucker for old writings - this one is a very nice find by the way (documents dating back to the XVIIIth century are definitely of historical value). I could spend days on the content of this chest alone!

a concrete proof that treasures we own can't be with us through life after death, can we?

Another great video! Love your commentation always!

Muí bueno el recorrido porque mostraron todo me encanto

I thought it was a pie safe too. Flies and mice always a problem around food.

Yes it's what my grand mother called a "meat Safe"

or perhaps la "cage à oiseaux" to hold cheese " une cave à fromage" and the small room in the kitchen a room to hold cold the food like a frigo today ! the small pots made "en gres" for the wine the milk the cream and the "cornichons au vinaigre" (pickles)

Ewe. Really gross after the mental picture when I first saw it and its small size thinking of it crammed with poultry and rabbits just purchased from the market for the daily meals. Lol

I thought the same, as well

Yes I too thought the same... ❤️

That's exactly what it was. The contemporary equivalent of a refrigerator, as best as they could.

Yes, for hanging Hams etc.

I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they kept the old kitchen for historical display only and renovated a more modern one in a different part of the castle?

Old people hate change. Not everyone is ibto the latest thing.

My grandparents had 2 kitchens. They had the modern kitchen with regular ovens and the hot kitchen as my great grandmother called it which was the original kitchen with a wood fueled cast iron oven. My great gma still cooked pies and biscuits in that oven.

Thank you Jackie for the kindness you show towards the poor servants of the place. Such thoughts don't come to many peoples' minds. Surely it's sweat and tears of the servants that make these mansions so spectacular, but ironically, those are the exact ones that are always been cut off from history and from everybody's memory.

That was their job, not everyone can be wealthy. They chose this line of work and were paid. This is the way the world works.

@@orchid3457 Cry me a River ....

@@jamiemorgan4146 I think you need to read about the history of how life was back then. History tells a very sad story about servants and their lives.

Yes in UK we shorten the word ‘perambulator’ to pram!

I fell asleep half way through. Common for me - I just finish them in the morning.

The Truth Will Be Revealed soon

They went to prison for horse doping
