Abandoned Mansion And Hotel Of A French Drug Producer *In Prison Now*

With the price of a coffee cup a month you can help us document these incredible places and preserve history! ► / brosofdecay
This week we explored an abandoned mansion in the middle of nowhere somewhere in France. This was a true family business given over from father to son and stayed this way for years. It was a small mansion with a bed and breakfast attached to it. Only a couple of guests could sleep in this place at a time (approximately 10 guests).
It was a great family business for years on end but after some time the business started to decline and the family got in some financial troubles. They were very desperate and tried everything they could to revive the business. In a desperate attempt to survive the man decided to start growing and selling marijuana. For some time he got away with it but he got caught eventually and was sentenced to 10 years in jail. To this date, he still remains in prison and his hotel and mansion lay abandoned and forgotten. All the belongings were left behind and the family was not allowed to retrieve anything from the mansion or hotel. To this date, the place still lays abandoned and is a true time-capsule into the past. In the garage of the place, we found a remaining marijuana plant.
Join us on this adventure throughout this place and see what these people have left behind. Have fun watching this video Xx Lesley and Jordy xX

Abandoned Mansion and Hotel Of A French Drug Producer In Prison Now

[@grandmacarla4258]

Back in time ~ previous to cell phones, calling "long distance" was horribly expensive. There were limited ways to correspond with far away relatives or our servicemen overseas. The cassette tape was the one way that we could talk to our loved ones, rather than writing. It was SOOO exciting to receive a tape from your loved one and to hear their voice!! When a service man was overseas, prior to cassette tapes, there were only letters or maybe a MARS station where you could talk over a HAM radio. This was a very interesting explore with a wonderful, but sad, backstory. Thank you for bringing us with you.

[@jolaod84]

The "carpet on the wall" is called tapestry or tapisserie in french

[@dbabyzo]

Hey guys that carpet "Egypt painting" is called a "tapestry"

[@Brenda-qm4sy]

I I looked up that little statue and I found it very interesting. OK Bros of Decay I have a question. How about doing a video of your City, You know where you're from. Show us all beautiful buildings there. I think all of your viewers would love it. I really hope you'll do one. Thank you. I'm a fan from Sun City, Arizona USA. Also I am the one that tries to let all the ads run cuz I know it helps you guys. 😗

[@Policarpia30]

the decoration and the type of electronics tell me like the place was left behind in the 70s-80s not in 2006...is crazy

[@kathyh4804]

Yes it definitely looks like the late 70s

[@gazoo-pl4nx]

calendar on the wall says 1986, beautiful place, such a shame

[@annebell7274]

Oh my goodness !! Such a beautiful house. I love the beams. The cabinets are stunning with the various carvings. There is no graffiti but why oh why do people have to mess up the places. They can lift and look but put it back where one found it. The small door into the other bedroom. I think that because of the low beams planning permission would not be allowed but to enable to have a connection the small door was was built. This did not interfere with the structure of the house. This was the reason my late sister had the same, to enable two sides of the house to be connected. You commented on a rug but displayed on the wall. In the UK they called them Wall Hangings, as simple as that. I once made one, my pride and joy 😊😊 Thank you so much for a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable tour Leslie. You have such a lovely relaxing voice to listen to. Also the respect you have is admirable. Many thanks again. ☺☺💖🌹💖

[@susanwoodfield9896]

Those look like apartments to me. Not hotel rooms.

[@MarkSmith-lm9yo]

Hi Lesley it’s Ann,it’s called a tapestry,hanging on the wall it looks as though it was a very busy place at one time ,the waver is called a fan .not much has been destroyed ,makes you wonder what happened,with the children’s toys left .yes pleased your wearing your masks,good find stay safe love you guys always respectful,thank you for sharing lv Ann x uk

[@valeriegleason4858]

Probably the cops tore up the place looking for more drugs.Sad.

[@talindakelley189]

That was my very thought. They do do it. It doesn't matter what country it is lol They'll go in and tear a whole wall down if they think they'll find anything of significance.

[@webeeankylosingspindylitis7838]

I was thinking the same :-(

[@novaackerman630]

Valerie Gleason there was a mattress in the living room. Maybe homeless people were trying to find something valuable or edible

[@dankoher4318]

Or one of your most expensive yet worthless pieces of property, your automobile.

[@dankoher4318]

I always love ❤️ being notified of another one of your expeditions. You have such an amazing voice and joy for life. Thank You! 😊

[@davidratcliff8960]

I have watched most all of your explorations and, I must say, this has been the very best one!! Nice work guys.

[@savannahf5417]

I really enjoyed your tour of this unique property. Loved the stone, brick and wood architecture. Your voice is also very soothing. 😊🙂

[@tonyapedraza2176]

I really, really enjoyed this one!!!💕

[@cesarkauz6680]

Thank you, Lesley, that was another well done, good descripted and not to pathetic discovery you share with us, nice choice of sound as well..! All the best, stay safe..!!

[@annbarns652]

[@sarahfarrell8214]

Love you Lesley, great exploring!!

[@wendymcfadyen-allerby6142]

So much stuff left, the fridge and even the chiller even still had food hanging up. This home in itself is lovely, it is such a shame everything left to rot away. Thank you for the explore which tells a sad story, I wonder what happened to his family.

[@MarkSmith-lm9yo]

Hi Lesley it’s Ann here again you made me smile all the windows you had to go through amazing property strange things left the carpet on the wall is known as a tapestry a lady would of made it with thread an needles lots of hours spent doing it thank you for sharing Ann uk

[@theseamstress6315]

Beautiful place lots of antique, sad story indeed. Thanks for taking us along.

[@cheryls8460]

Loved this one! Thank you.....

[@Rachma-yg4wm]

Love the video,love the history,love to see such amazing abandoned place from you Bros of decay 😉💜

[@Linda-oi4pj]

Loses everything and goes to jail for weed. Appalling. So sad they destroyed his life

[@dankoher4318]

Linda Have you ever drove coast to coast during the summer with your windows down? It’s incredible how you smell weed growing in the wild. Nature’s medicinal plants 🌱 yet too much taxation and money 💰 to be made. It’s literally ‘high time’ we get with the program. When beaters and rapists are given less time. This is truly disgusting what a beautiful monument left to ruin. So many wonderful pieces of furniture. Both sickening and sad.

[@Jillian-Jill]

@@dankoher4318 - Very well said! 👍👍👍

[@billiebleach7889]

Jerry Andersen there’s a big difference between a weed-user and a supplier. I’m all for homegrown stuff but I think dealers should be hanged. The damage I’ve seen these guys doing (getting teenage-girls hooked up on their stuff and then pimping them around under their clientele until they turn into brainless heaps of misery and despare that never step out of the street-game) qualifies them for the harshest and most merciless treatment possible. They should stop breathing, no matter how.

[@billiebleach7889]

Linda what about the lifes destroyed by his stuff? They don’t count? This guy should rot in jail for the rest of his life, and then in hell all over again. No mercy. If you have financial problems, sort them out. But don’t go and start exploiting other people because you happen to need money. Unforgivable.

[@robertahubert9155]

The one that destroyed his life was HIM!! Nobody held a gun to his head to break the law. We all lived through that time now we are going through a even harder time with Covid 19 but we do the best we can to get through it without breaking the law. Let's put the blame were it needs to be squarely on his shoulders

[@robertmanley7556]

Great video as always loved it thank you for showing us all of it very cool!!

[@elsiebrandso5847]

Your video is full of emotion in respect to the previous owner of this property Thankyou , I’ve enjoy your video always not many explorers are respectful as you there are few but not many , keep on your good work stay safe - ❤️from Australia 🇦🇺

[@janetdoten9908]

Awesome thanks for sharing. Beautiful woodwork inside the building, thanks again for sharing your adventures

[@nickkaveney1000]

I even noticed the 1/125th scale Revell model of Jacques Cousteaus 'Calypso' at 28:49 and the Heller 1/24th Renault 'Paris' TC6n Bus at 25:51 on top of the TV. My wife and I love your tours through these Time Capsules. Keep up the good work and keep safe. From NZ.

[@magz98610]

Just because he grew weed dosnt make you a slob who dosnt clean. Its total bs people are still getting arrested for growing or smoking weed,its legal in most of the USA, all of Canada and a few other countries. Our state uses the taxes it gets off the sale of weed to give everybody health insurance,,great vlog thanks

[@angelahartley3212]

It is not legal in most usa!!

[@gothempress]

I think it's Lesley guiding us through the video, I'm super bad with names so sorry if I got this wrong, but I think what Lesley was trying to say was that this person was suffering from severe stress related to the illegal activities he was participating in and the financial troubles and THAT was why he didn't care to clean or was drinking a lot. It was a sign of his mental health, not the fact he grew weed.

[@BennilocoLoves]

@Divine Sinner I live in California, and am a legal "cannabis" patient..It should have never been demonized by government, for profit..gotta keep selling those pills though, and demonize a natural plant..how far humanity has fallen from the natural human, for profit..💙

[@talindakelley189]

@@BennilocoLoves it's been years since I've smoked any but, I agree, it should be legal everywhere, its a natural herb. It's not like as you say, the pills that legally get pushed. Pills that are made AND sold by the government that ruin people's lives or kill them bc of addiction. I have health issues and yes, I tried vaping one night and about killed myself lol my asthmatic lungs couldn't take it lol I have chronic pain I deal with daily but, for me smoking isn't going to do it lol I have to try another form lol My lungs felt like they were on fire for a good week 😂

[@magz98610]

Yes I live in the great state of Washington where both are legal

U did it again, another great video.

Another great video that house was beautiful thank you again for making such a beautiful video💕

[@lissanne9769]

WOW! What a great place to explore. It would be beautiful if cared for. There are so many abandoned, yet wonderful places in France. It is so sad that these places are just left to rot. Thank you Lesley for this incredible video. You take us to places we could never see. Thank you also for wearing a mask in the places with black mold.

[@joanieledbetter6155]

I so enjoy watching your videos. I love that you show so much respect for the people and the properties. Your knowledge of the property makes your videos more enjoyable. Thank you!

What an amazing place! It's a shame about what happened to the owners. A fantastic video, as always!

[@eileenbauer4601]

Fantastic find, great job 🏆 I remember those tiny televisions being popular for a while late 1960’s-early 1970’s. People would put those on their kitchen counters or on their breakfast tables.

The stone walls, the magnificent fireplaces, the craftsmanship of the woodwork in those cabinets, the beautiful wooden beams, the coppertone colors throughout the interior, was just amazing. This place needs to be fixed and sold ASAP! 1 Billion Likes 👍🏻for your video, narration, background music and you as a perfect host. BRAVO! WELL DONE. 😁👍🏻

You have ethics, respect for the people and properties. Thank you for your integrity and good work.

[@willyegger4488]

Hi Lesley, Bros of Decay, Thank you for sharing this very interesting explore in the abandoned mansion and hotel of that french man, who was growing marihuana weed. Although I think, that this "crime" is not really worthy to put someone in jail. It's an illegal activity of course, and as far as I know you get fined in our country but not necessarily jailed. - But what irritates me more, is that also his family had to suffer, and the house is just taken over by the state and then left to decay, whereas at the same time the other family members had to leave. It bothers me too, if you get into illegal stuff for making money, but I still think, that there are different levels of crime, such as very low crimes and then the extreme crimes, like heavy drug trafficking with hard drugs, which is - after my opinion - quite something else than merely growing weeds, although that is of course also illegal. - it was very funny watching you crawling through this hole into a bedroom. Great explore from the Bros of Decay. - I enjoy watching, and am already looking forward to your next adventure. Safe explores, peace and blessings, - and kindest regards from Switzerland.

[@Meriale46]

This place was an enigma... the rooms were so small and the halls to get to the rooms were so narrow. And some rooms you had to climb through the windows to get inside. What a huge debacle that place was and such a mess too. They must have been dealing with some depression to allow their home to get so cluttered and out of sorts...I imagine falling on hard times would do that to a person. But I can see what was once a lovely place to visit. Such a shame. When I see these places that are abandoned and the only visitors are explorers like yourself it's depressing just thinking about how lonesome a place that must be. Thanks for showing this one... it was interesting if nothing else.

[@mandyatkins1841]

I really enjoy your videos, I always want to see the little things and u show them Thankyou :)

Weed should be legalized taxed and regulated like alcohol is

[@karendurbin9460]

It is legal where I live. It's taxed and laws are in place, just like alcohol. But so many use it for medical purposes. I use it for my arthritis and it has helped, when narcotics didn't.

[@hadynwills3677]

Yes and no outside agencies not the government running it they'd become drug pushers like the people they have been throwing into jail for decades. Legalize just so the government can regulate the hell out of it through taxes and registrationing who grows it who doesn't fees more fees .Becomes a winner for the bloody government, also see kick backs friends and mates producing it.

[@annettejones1300]

I adore these tours of yours! I just wish you could go to the town records and get facts of the last owners, more information. 😘❤❤

[@vivianbmartin]

The house looks like it belonged to older people that died and someone younger inherited it that didn’t value it. So many of the items looks so old.

[@patriciahartless2095]

I love this video. Thanks for sharing. The interior an exterior is gorgeous. So many antiques left. It's a shame that he . Turn to selling marijuana. It's the same here in the United States. If they fine any kind of drugs. Your house , car and property. Will be confiscated. You cannot remove anything. From the house, property are car. You only leave with. The clothes on your back.

Hi Leslie and William hope Jordy is well. This property looks very untidy and dirty. It is however very nice to see and thank you for showing us around this place.
