Very Strange Disappearance! ~ Captivating Abandoned French Country Mansion 

Exploring abandoned places is my hobby and finance it all out of my own pocket and the donations I get from the people who love watching the documentaries we make... A small donation would be greatly appreciated! ► www.patreon.com/brosofdecay

I just wish there is some way to find out what happened to this family. It drives me crazy to see such a beautiful house and not know what happened. Nobody just walks away unless something catastrophic happened. I don’t understand why someone can’t trace the lineage of the ancestors. That house needs to be put up for auction so it can receive the love it deserves.💗

I am amazed by your thoughtfulness to flip the breakers!!! Leslie, you are one of a kind, sir…..I would LOVE to meet your parents. They must be so very proud of you (both)!

Dear Leslie Lad, this house has been broken in to. People have damaged the basement door and other things things have been broken. Its a shame . Please Leslie Lad could you please shut the windows and doors for this lovely family. I believe that if they were a!live they would appreciate you taking the time to shut doors and windows. I know I would. God Bless you Lad!

The thing I love most about your videos is the respect you show to the former residents. We don’t know what caused the homes to be abandoned and you don’t make any judgements or assumptions. You leave things are they were found and never reveal names or info about the people. Please continue to explore safely! Take care!

What keeps people from just finding these homes and staying in them since they are just left behind? In America anything left like that would be vandalized or things would be stolen. It is amazing how those homes just seem frozen in time. Beautiful.

Великолепный дом! Руки зачесались навести там порядок, облагородить задний двор, устроить встречу родственников. Романтично!

How can such an affluent, large family just disappear completely? Very strange. What a good guy you are.

Thanku for your lack of DRAMA in your videos! And I love watching how respectful you are to the properties you research as well as how you handle your audience. I stopped watching a lot of these type of videos because of the ridiculous commentary & over the top freak-outs over everything they would come across! I came across another one of your videos and gave it a try. Glad I did. This is my 2nd one and they're both fantastic. You're engaging, informative, and kind without the foul language every 30 seconds. Thanku for that! Looking forward to more videos from you. Take care and be safe!!

Why don't you shut all the windows and doors to keep the weather and animals out ?

I was stunned to see this home. The cars are still worth a great deal to a collector and the home is beautiful! This is one of your best.

Wow me e quedado sorprendida con esa mansión de casa .está en perfectas condiciones me en canto está limpia no está destruida la casa y tiene luz caray para mí alguien vive en la casa .

I just feel based on your comments and seeing the kitchen as it was, I believe that when a person becomes elderly and sick they need to be in one room because it helps to make things easier on them. Just by seeing the cot - I just feel like maybe they were being looked after it was easier maybe for home support to come in and you know feed this person in his or her last days.

Leslie please close the doors and windows to prevent further damage. Thanks again for all your hard work

This is an absolutely beautiful home, what a find! It looks like the original owners just walked out the door one day never to return. I have a feeling that maybe this place was used for a wedding venue because it’s so beautiful and that would explain all the wedding pictures, maybe the new bride and groom spend their wedding night there 🤔 Thanks for sharing I can’t wait for your next explore 😊

It is amazing how this guy respects the animals that inhabit abandoned houses... I love that.

I love how the properties in european countries as in France Italy Portugal are mostly left untouched without vandalism, such respect

I appreciate your respect for other people’s properties. Your content is very entertaining! Thank you and stay awesome!

Thank you Leslie for turning off the power.Your consideration for the house to keep it from burning down was a smart move on your part.I just love how respectful you are for these places and the memories of the people who lived there.Thanks for bringing us another beautiful home and as always we love you too guys, be safe.

This was a great one. So many weddings on the walls. At 36:00 in one of the bedrooms there is a bunch of white what looks to be wedding fabric. They had a sewing machine in there too. I wonder if the lady of the house made wedding dresses and that’s why there are so many pics. Great job again. Thank you for the journey back in time.

You are a very good narrator. You’re very sensitive to the past owners of these homes . You have a special gift of paying respect and explanations of various mysteries. I wonder why anyone would leave a beautiful home in such a hurry UNLESS it was probably an emergency or even perhaps they we’re running from someone or something! Interesting 🤔! Keep up your excellent work! You’re a natural for these wonderful Podcasts! 👍👏🍷

Hi there, I can spend hrs watching your programs in fact sometimes I only watch your shows days nights . Just so unbelievable fabulous show. Thanks bless you.

This place is beautifully decorated. Makes me wonder if the owners were in some kind of wedding business? I enjoyed this video immensely. Bein g vacant for such a short time I would expect family members to remove personal items and furniture. I was surprised to only see 1 bathroom for such a large home. Thanks Leslie, stay safe.

You said it : a gem. I love the way you were concerned about the bat. People don' t like those little ones , I think they ' re lovely.

What a beautiful place. From the yard to the inside. It hurts my heart to see it just sitting there wasting away. But I must say you do a great job of documenting. And I absolutely love how respectful you are and the care you show while in each and every house. It’s evident how much you enjoy this. And how much you appreciate history. I hope one day you are able to buy one of these places and restore it.

Eventually it’s sad to think of, but no one leave their beautiful home abandoned just like that. I am sure they must of go out on a trip or work trip and couldn’t return home cause of an accident... it is sad that no other family members took over this beautiful home... Those Cars were amazingly Stunning to see now in days from way back then, that was beautiful..

Such a beautiful home.And the cars WOW.They were very wealthy people.The property itself is so nice.The lovely furniture,and wallpapers, gorgeous.Thank you Leslie.👍❤️🇺🇸

Very strange and puzzling home. It was a big family especially having a floor just for the children and maybe their nannies? Beautiful and sad to see it abandoned. Thank you for always being so respectful as you show us these amazing places. Take Care!

This home is so magnificent that it could made into a Historical site, like they do in the United States..It has such a unique and yet simple feel to it from times gone by..Also, the fur thing that was in the hat box was a "muff", ladies used those in the 18th and 19th centuries..It was a hand warmer .Great job as always guys..🥰

What a beautiful place, just lovely, to bad its wasting away. All the homeless people in the world, what a shame, makes me sad.

Such a beautiful home its a shame its been abandoned, Leslie you are so respectful of the owners property and love the way you always show respect when protecting the owners identity and address ❤

Impecable mansión, que familia magnífica debe haberla habitado para dejarla en tan impecables condiciones! Magnifico hallazgo

Hello and greetings from Romania 😊 I recently discovered your channel on RU-vid and to be honest, I feel like I don't wanna watch anything else anymore 😄 The idea of the documentary is brilliant and you moving through these people's past lives with such care, respect and consideration is absolutely beautiful, you have my utmost respect and admiration for that. The French culture is the richest and the most powerful on the planet, influencing in the past couple of centuries a large part of the world. This series of videos related to French mansions confirms some of the things I have learned in school and also reveals new aspects of the French life and culture, I absolutely adore it 😍 Thank you very much for what you are doing, I am so grateful to be able to watch this 🙏 Stay safe in your quest and keep up the amazing work! 🤗

This is one of the most impressive homes you’ve done. I would bet they were involved in the wedding business. I would say they provided a place for the bride to prepare on her wedding day. Oh man! A BAT!!!! I had one get stuck in my long hair years ago at the ocean. It was terrifying hearing it squeak in my ears! UGH!! This was a great explore, Leslie! Loved it! Thank you for taking me along young man. (And may I say I love your facial hair design - 😁)

Thank you for sharing this home! It feels so full of love, even closed for so long.

I would love to do this!! Just to be able to go inside these properties and imagine the folks that once lived here during these by-gone times is fascinating.

I enjoy exploring with you, and wish I could move into one of those places, and clean up! I am glad you are showing us as much fashionable cloths as possible! Lesley you and the free are awesome! I really enjoy how you focus on every little detail! Keep up the history making!

Such a shame it’s left to nature maybe the family are in dispute over who owns it or maybe it’s still in probate .Whatever the reason it’s a disgrace for the family to leave it and do nothing

You are so sweet and respectful… I can’t believe ppl leave such things to just sit. Thank you for your videos ❤️

Да, красивый дом! Спасибо Броз! 😄😄😄😍👍👍👍

Как жаль, такая красота исчезает. Дух захватывает. Где же владельцы дома, у них было столько детей...

I missed the premier but catching it now, what a lovely place, would love to have something like that. Amazing it hasn't been vandalized, hopefully it won't be it's to beautiful to get destroyed. With all those rooms they may have had a bed and breakfast, or a honeymoon get away place, the bat was priceless.

Hey Lesley! Lovely video! I keep imagining what the people who lived in this beautiful house would be like, the children on the swing....It's incredible! Thank you for this beautful tour of our imagination! 🥰

I love you BROTHER leslie for taking me around the world!!!! ❤ I love what you do and I could never afford to go myself.

Una casa muy bella, gracias por tu relato, como siempre maravilloso, abrazo desde Argentina 🇦🇷

I really love watching your videos. You guys are awesome and leslie your voice is so relaxing . ♥️

Leslie, what a great estate. Once so beautiful, maybe more than one genetation lived there or someone had a lot of children. So thoughtful of you to turn off breakers. I often wonder why the children don't come back and at least get the family pictures. Maybe the inheritance taxes are way to much. As always i love your explores And you are always so thoughtful.

Meu Deus, sem palavras... o que aconteceu para abandonarem essa esplendorosa mansão???

Hello Leslie,que increíble lugar,bellísimo!Gracias x tanto respeto ,serenidad y simpleza con que mostrás esos magníficos lugares!!! A kiss from Argentina!😘😘😘

Leslie, I agree with most of these comments. This French Country side home is in wonderful condition and has good vibes abound. I would like to speculate the husband passed a number of years before her . It looks to me by the pictures the children hung around, close to their mother until she passed. Everything is so neat , a woman’s touch for sure. The furniture was kept up , cloths folded neatly. The heavy rock blocking the garage, perhaps a thoughtful son or daughter paying respect to their father. Everything except the floor was just about perfect and the floor was probably not that important on her list. Leslie, This by far is the nicest house you have let us see. This family was full of love and joy , it’s obvious. Maybe a family member will see this . I would be very interested to find out what happened here. Thank you Leslie for being respectful. Stay safe. Paul - St Petersburg, Florida

I’m always amazed that no family members sell these homes or that no one seems to bother with them. Are there death records of the owners? Really odd! The house is really outdated but still has a lot of charm. It’s so sad that family members left this home to rot away!

Hello, another great adventure find. After watching and seeing all the wedding photos, and the property so huge, the antique cars, it makes me think that the people that lived there might have rented space and cars for wedding photos, possibly rented the rooms for dressing to take photos. Some rooms looked like old fashioned parlors, etc. There were probably props outside that were used. Just guessing because really, who would have that many different pictures of wedding couples photos in one home. Fun and interesting video as always!! 💖

A beautiful stunning home. Maybe the wedding pictures are different couples who had their ceremony on that property at that beautiful home. Or like you mentioned a large or multiple families lived in the house.

This place is magnificent and everything left. Hope no one Else finds it and vandalize it. Wonder what happened to to the family especially the children. Thank you for showing this place. It was wonderful. Not sure I would like only one bathroom and that many people living there. Always be safe dear Leslie

الف تحيه لك من العراق نثمن جهودك المبذول انت شاب راقي وطموح استمر في عملك بالتوفيق والنجاح نريد منك فديوات عن القصور التاريخيه متابعينك من العراق

Безумно интересно! Только страшно, что нет людей! Лесли, Вы замечательный!)❤❤❤

My dear Lesley this is one of the most interesting houses you’ve documented yet! Good vibes and really very beautiful in a bizarre way! I absolutely adore your treatment of all living creature you sweet soul!! We are so alike in so many ways and I enjoy your channel immensely my darling! Love you so much! ♥️🥰🇺🇸

I see what seems to be a large tank in the attic and suspect it might be part of a gravity-fed water system, which is so unusual. That red pump in the basement may have pumped water into the attic tank, which makes sense given the single bathroom and individual sinks. Infrastructure is so fascinating!! Wish we could solve all the puzzles. Thanks so much for doing these fabulous videos.

That parlor looks decadent for tea 🍵,scones, and pleasant company ❤️

Lovely mansion. Those cars are amazing. Lots of wedding pictures. Must be a very large family. Fantastic video. Stay safe. God Bless you. Jan From Texas

Que casa maravilhosa . O que levou essa família a abandonar este lugar assim com tanto descaso. Parecia ser uma família muito feliz pela história da casa a gente pode perceber isto. É uma pena ver isso acontecer.💔

Hi from MD,USA.. love spending snowy Sunday afternoon watching one of your videos!! Be well and best wishes!!!

I like the garage/work place looks like my dad's it's not even abandoned, thank you Leslie for your thoughtfulness and having respect in preparing your videos it's amazing and I can't seem to understand why the abandonment?? Also, I love the entry way with pink stripes the whole place has meaning of its own.

You really need to STOP checking to see if the water is on. Plumbing fixtures have seals in them. If not used they can dry out. When you turn that knob it may break the dried out seals.Those seals will hold the water until broken. In some cases they may fail on their own. That happens and the only way to stop it is to find the water shut off. If that's even possible. Its just not necessary. You appear to show respect for these properties. Don't take the chance.

Great explore and a real gem of a property, a lot of happy memories were made here. I wish another family had the opportunity to make more. Love the drinks cabinet, your comment about the mirror made me giggle ☺️🥂

This was a beautiful day and for you to find such a good wonderful place Leslie. That house and the music was so soothing. I like to see those cars and wedding pictures just look at those amazing dresses they were wearing. Thank you so much for taking us threw this amazing home. Love you

Muy buen video,me gusto,aparentemente en esa cocina va alguien o vive dado el desorden y la cama improvisada que se encuentra allí,es como que no quisiera usurpar la vivienda,quizás la use para descansar y comer 👍💜

Q lugares más fascinantes y a la vez misteriosos. Que nostalgia da verlos tan abandonados y sin saber de su descendencia familiar. Extraño es verlos tan intactos y a la vez tan solitarios. Desde Chile, Sud América saludos....

Как жалко этот дом, он такой красивый. Неужели там ни кто ни когда не будет жить и он останется на произвол судьбы разрушения? Очень грустно смотреть на брошеную красоту всего этого поместья!

A very simple working family home, large but basic. Nice to see the way they lived.

What is really crazy is the window left open, for the weather and animals to get in.. Ever worry some of those abandoned homes/places were abandoned because they are...haunted? Tip for you...never try anything electrical in abandoned homes. If age created a problem, turning even lights on...could start a fire. Wouldn't that suck!!

My guess, from the bed in the kitchen, the groceries on the table and the calendar, is that someone lived there recently for a short while. The bed is placed by the oven. The kitchen is pretty small in the first floor by a window so it might have been the daughter staying there, a little scared being on here own in that big house, sorting all her mothers things out but left it before she was done, and no one in the family has done anything to preserve it. Sometimes families leave big houses like this to rot instead of taking care of it, as to fix it for sale is very expensive and the owners don`t give it to anyone as it will be as leaving someone with debt and a huge responsibility. Great find and good to see you are so respectful.

Me encanta esa vista por la ventana tan bello que se ve el verde del jardín bella casa saludos desde barinas Venezuela.

I love the way you captivate the awesomeness of what was once a beautiful property and still is even though it’s been abandoned. What became of the people that lived there? Why they left? It’s so sad. Nature is slowly taking over. I’m so glad you treat the place with loving care ❤️

Hermoso lugar, ojalá q los herederos no lo dejen caer, tendrán muchos recuerdos de ese lugar, gracias por compartir, saludos de la ciudad de México.

Beautiful home. Love seeing French homes the most.Sad this place sits abandoned when so many in this world need a place to live. Just a little TLC this place be back to it's glory days AND could be filled w love and laughter AGAIN.

Hi Lesley, such a Beautiful Country French Mansion!! Please shut the windows inside, to save it from the weather & vines growing in & eventually ruin walls , ceilings & mold! Hoping you put brick by door of garage with 2 cars, & now at barn house , shut this door & looks like someone has taken the tires of this car! The inside of house, gorgeous furniture in hallway with bird cage, & entering sitting room lovely chairs & couch & beautiful wood cabinet-dresser! Beautiful oil paintings, & glassware bowl! Wow, you were born 1997, my first son was 1975 & my last child was 1981, yes 2 sons I had. Unique bathroom with flowery wallpaper walls & ceiling & pink border & the little glass door you couldn`t open is a medicine cabinet. You said 2017 is not what you thought for 5 yrs of abandonment but 2022-2017 is 5 yrs, Lesley? Maybe 1 tv broke & that is why another tv is in kitchen? Beautiful dining room area! Ok the iron white chairs like the ones by the entrance by the bird cage, these chairs in the 1950`s were called here in USA a Ice Cream Parlor chairs without cushions but you would first find them in ice cream shops! They were originally all black chairs, some had wood seats, I have 6 of these chairs I keep in my basement till winter is over then bring them outside. Wow that is a awesome bar cabinet with mirror inside with liquor bottles,& glasses I never seen this anywhere!! I love that Dutch Windmill in next room! Wow the wood cabinet had a refrigerator inside, this is Very Unique! 5 Children`s Bicycles in the basement! Now going upstairs beautiful light & great wood railing & staircase! Very unique white small dresser at top of stairs. Lesley, maybe all the wedding pictures are of the children that grew up & got married? Wow, the Blue bathroom was really pretty but unique with a closure for the toilet, with curtain on door & Lesley I think it`s a little girl sitting on toilet not lady? In the picture you showed downstairs was of 4 children? Red Satin Blanket with design. Maybe children got married & had their children & more wedding pictures? Wow I count 2 double beds -2 different rooms & one bedroom with 2 beds, now add another 1 bedroom-parents room you say is master bedroom makes 5 beds, Shut this Window or this room will be Ruined! Now upstairs children`s bedrooms add 5 more beds & I think parents would be upstairs near the children & grandparents are downstairs, a total of 10 beds!! now to attic, nothing to see...but it was a very amazing & unique & beautiful Mansion!! Take care, Lesley & this was a wonderful adventure!!

Another absolutely astounding video!!! Thank you guys!!!! You made my Sunday!!! I love you all,family of decay!!!

What a lovely home and farmhouse. How sad to see it left unloved. I suspect by the number of rooms they had many children and therefore lots of weddings! They lived life well. Where are the children now? They need to return soon before the house is too far gone. I suspect the last parent died or taken into a care home as they could no longer cope. So sad too see such love, gone.

Hi Leslie I love all your videos you always look so happy to and do a great job too of all your videos 📹 😊

This house was so beautiful. I just wonder why they left everything. Lesley I just love the way you present the explorations. You are such a very talented and loving person. Till next time. 😘 Love you too😆.

I ❤️ your passion for adventure and discovery! Thanks for sharing!! Love from Washington state

Que voz tan más agradable! Me encantó la manera en la que va narrando las cosas. Saludos desde México 🇲🇽

Wow my mouth dropped many times! The cars, the fields, the intact state of the home. I would love to call that place home. Definitely think it’s an deceased estate but the state of the kitchen, everything untouched.. I can’t believe the family haven’t taken it over or cleaned it up… wow

Thank you for taking on a tour of the abandoned homes, a tour down memory lane of homes from the past, seeing how they lived ,the antiques, so beautiful. Thank you, you do a great job

I increasingly believe how a populace treats abandoned buildings and homes is an indicator of its civility, culture and self respect as a people. In my birthplace nation this would have unfortunately been utterly ruined and desecrated long ago. This setting is fortunately different. On a positive note, please keep up the good work and care while publishing this channel. I like to see what once was and hear the stories as well as moderated speculation about the people themselves that once walked in those buildings. Some bittersweet nostalgia.

Fascinada con todo este abandono hermosa mansión hermoso todo lo que ay dentro y como siempre una gran tristeza de que pasó con las personas que habitaban en ella gracias saludos de Ecuador

Don’t know if anyone has already commented but they weren’t barricading the house, that will be where the walls have started falling, or the foundations have slipped so they were trying to stabalise it to stop it falling further. Love your videos ❤

Wow, that's the house. seems cleaner and has never been touching for these years. It's really sad to leave the house! That's the massive house

It is so wonderful to See your respect for this abandoned place, for the people who lived in there and even the little bat, that Hung from the crashed ceiling. Love it.

What a wonderfull place hidden on this world. Excelent presentation again!

Gorgeous, pristine, wonderful home!!! Such a fabulous place!!! It is sad that someone doesn’t come in, purchase, restore & enjoy this beautiful property before it falls into total disrepair 😢 Thank you Leslie, for beautifully documenting this gorgeous estate & the treasures held within!!! I truly loved it ❤️❤️❤️

I was really happy to see the little bats enjoying there stay . I liked it when you closed the door for the bat because you wanted him to have some quiet time. Bless you Leslie. So respectful 🙏 love watching 👀 your videos. Been following you since the beginning .

Absolutely beautiful place. Fantastic documentary. Maybe they were wedding photographers. The old cars are great. I grew up with my grandpa restoring old cars.

WHY DID YOU NOT PULL BACK THE COVERS AND SEE WHY THE BED WAS LUMPY? HOLY SMOKES!!!

I REALLY ENJOY GOING ALONG WITH YOU ON YOUR TOUR. THAT'S EXACTLY HOW YOU MAKE ONE FEEL LISTENING TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE VERY CALMING. YOU WOULD MAKE A EXCELLENT STORY TELLER AND A EXCELLENT REALISTATE AGENT. I COULD PICTURE YOU SHOWING A HOME YOU WOULD SELL THOUSANDS. BACK TO THE TOUR

Fantastica villa,ma con tutte quelle fotografie di matrimoni,possibile che non ci siano degli eredi??È molto strano che si lasci una bellissima casa lasciare andare in rovina,e un vero peccato.Che tenerezza le biciclette dei bimbi e la loro cameretta,molto triste potrebbero restaurare il tutto con in giardino così bello si potrebbe fare uno splendido hotel. Mi sono innamorata di questa casa e di Tutto ciò che ha dentro.Grazie e la prima volta che vedo questa esplorazione He mi sembra sia stata fatta in Francia.Bravi davvero.Un saluto e un bacio dall' Italia.🇮🇹👄❤

Wunderbar, beautiful❤❤❤❤

Da mucha tristeza ver todo tan abandonado y que sus herederos dejen todo su patrimonio en estado tan decadente.enhorabuena por su vídeo

Awesome explore, you find the best places and I love how you build the story as you describe everything to us, I can picture the children playing in the yard and the family going out for Sunday drives in those lovely cars. The house looks so tidy as if there were a family living there as early as last week, how do they just walk away from all of this. I'm always surprised by the fact that people don't find these places and take everything of value, very sad when they do though. I love seeing all they have left behind. Thanks for sharing this amazing place with us.
