Abandoned villa of a rich French farming family [Found Beautiful Library]

You are by far the best explorers of beautiful abandoned buildings. Just lovely! Thank you so much.

Happy to see very intelligent, very respectful,very intriguing young men. love your videos peace and love from Tennessee ❤️

[@vandahuman8522]

Love the history of the old houses. Would love to know what happened to the family. Did they leave on their own accord and if so where did they go. If only walls could talk. Thank you for the amazing video.

[@guerillagardner3876]

When I watch these videos, I always want to throw open the windows and get to fixing and cleaning! These architectural gems need new life breathed into them! A professional rescue mission!! It's sad to see them die....

[@Lily-has-wings]

So true...I feel the same.

[@pinkrose5423]

I’m ready, let’s go 😉 seems to be an enormous need in Europe to help establish some kind of salvage solution to this problem with all the need in the world, after all the urban explorers get their fill of pictures and video of course.

Yes! Unlike the idiots who vandalise everything!

[@dbhart8528]

Alberto Carranza Funny, I said this very thing to my husband! I’m sure I’d want to be friends with their mom:)

[@jordanlever7857]

What a beautiful place. I wonder what happened to this family. Why would a family with children just walk away from their home and all of their belongings? It seems that a tragedy must have occurred. If any of the children are still alive somewhere they would be getting up in age themselves now. Perhaps in their 50's or somewhere around that age.

Here in France, we call the bed in the beginning of the video "lit - bateau" (boat- bed) because of the appearance.

[@changeintheair9648]

Here in Canada it is known as a sleigh bed.

[@Shawnne01]

I just can't believe all of the personal effects left! Where are the children? Where are the grandchildren? Surely, they would want photos and other things belonging to the parents. Makes no sense to me. I love the old sewing machines!

[@conniecrawford6429]

I know, I wonder what happened for them to just leave everything like this. There are too many abandoned homes like this.

[@wehavealwaysbeenanointed4929]

4:50 my grandma accidentally sewed her top part of her pointer finger off, by an old school singer sewing machine. She was just sewing, and it happened so fast. She just picked up her finger, and wrapped it up in her hanker chief. Took it to the local dr, who was also a vet. And he sewed it back on. The finger did take and it was great to see in person. But she never got feeling in that part of her finger again though. Those old petal singer sewing machine are like tanks. They just keep on working. Imagine your calf’s from using the sewing machine. It would be like a crazy calf work out. They really knew how to make things to last back. Everything was made from cast iron. I really want one, I think it would be awesome in a sitting room, as part of decoration too💖 Thank you for love of urban exploring and your extreme appreciation for all things in the past. Such great respect for your channel. Keep sharing that love💖. With 💖 from 🇨🇦

[@lillz9998]

It's always sad to see ppls belongings left behind what an amazing place Great video thanks Bros of decay ,love from UK 💕✌

[@ronaldgansler8812]

Why are all these beautiful antiques left behind, seems like such a waste. I very much enjoy your videos.

[@loloholmes2793]

I know right!!! I want to back a semi truck up & load up all the furniture, fixtures, moldings, doors, mantles....even the staircase...EVERYTHING but the rodent droppings. You could make a small fortune on salvage from one farm house or chateaux. OR hire a cleaning crew to clean it & builders to fix it so I could live in it.

[@charles5596]

It will belong to somebody , probably the person who let them in

[@grannyseven7256]

Have you ever seen a ghost or seen things move for no apparent reason.??love to know xx

[@tcan4959]

That was a train way map. Such awesome pieces. So sad it’s just deteriorating. Was it a replica of a steam ship or The Titanic? That orange coil thing was a mosquito repellent. You lit it and it would give off smoke to deter pest. I don’t remember them working that well

[@ajfurek]

(sic) "The attic holds so many things that represent history" - I love the way you put things Leslie.

[@samanthalittle7273]

What you picked up in the kitchen was a packet of Mosquito coils. Love watching your explores, keep up the amazing work. X

[@stuartrogers621]

I wonder what happened to them. They took time to make their beds and there is other evidence shoes at end of bed.The library!! It is like the family went out and just did not return. Thank you for this wonderful explore.

[@carmie_rae]

You two tell such amazing stories through your videos. Thank you for taking us along on your incredible journeys. I’d never be able to see these places if it wasn’t for you both. I’m super excited to see the next adventure. Until then.... much love from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

[@newnormtrump7519]

I LOVE WHEN THE BEDS ARE STILL MADE THE DRAWINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL

[@Marshallmiracles]

Those sleigh beds are very common in the houses you visit in Europe. In the States they are seen as rare antiques in great demand, almost impossible to obtain. A few manufacturers made reproductions years ago but still, hard to find.

[@michellelittle9184]

Mars J Same in Australia, very rare. I have seen reproductions & even they’re expensive.

[@h.r.c.jansen4159]

In Europe you find this kind of beds in secondhand stores. I live in the Netherlands and its easy to find stuff like this.

[@michellelittle9184]

H.R.C. Jansen You’re very lucky!

[@mariechristensen8390]

I wish you would be able to find information on what happened to the family? Were they in an accident and wiped out or did they escape from some problems .. .. thank you for your discoveries ... I’m amazed at what you do .

[@Lily-has-wings]

@Marie...My thoughts were it looked like maybe the whole family was in an automobile accident and all perished. Wish we knew for sure. It is sooooo strange how there are so many homes in Europe that stand abandoned with all the belongings......like the people just suddenly vanished.

[@joeldoxtator9804]

abandoned since the 1970's. Mid 90's corvette toy car..... what?

[@ligametis]

exactly what I thought

[@yoblazes]

THANK YOU I WAS SEARCHING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS! I'm starting to think these guys are all full of shit and plant stuff to make the places seem older than they really are!

[@yoblazes]

Yeah all that, "research" and all those "calendars" but you notice they never show any of them??

[@mbr7156]

1:09 cassette recorder on table.. imagine if there was a something in there.... maybe with the family members' voices

[@Cs3ka]

12:46 was mosquito repellent. You have to burn it and it will release a smoke which kills bugs, but mostly mosquitos.

[@BrosOfDecay]

O thanks Italy was full of mosquito's... I hate them haha

[@jeanetteharris9491]

What a once beautiful home this must have been. Filled with children’s voices and laughter. Loved seeing how they cherished books, music and art. Thanks for sharing another fantastic find. You two are the best... Love from SE Kansas, USA

[@dittedatte8046]

Your English has improved very well: My compliments...😀

[@joysheets2412]

The children's room looked staged to me .Everything else looked dusty & decayed, except those toys & their beds. Odd.

[@Lily-has-wings]

I thought the same.....see my evidence of that in my comment above.

[@Lily-has-wings]

Hi Lesley and Jordy! A little info you might be interested in: As I have told you in past emails I am a "fast car lover" and we still own some hotrods and show cars and bikes. If you will go back and look at 1:22 to 1:23 you will see that silver toy corvette that you touched is what we call a C6 (sixth generation body style). The C6 was produced between 2005 and 2013. So, either some kids have been recently playing there or someone has left some modern toys for the ghosts of children who once lived there or the scene has been staged by other explorers. As a few other commenters noticed to that most of those toys are too new and have no dust or decay on them. However, I am truly fascinated by this explore and would love to know the story of what happened to the family. I fear it was something tragic. I love you guys and hope your father is getting stronger every day. It is hotter than Hades here is Mississippi! Thank God for air conditioning! Hugs and kisses all around! Love, Lily

[@Lily-has-wings]

You also mention in the description above that there is an 'incredible history.' Please tell us the 'incredible' history. XO

[@margotccoxakapearl]

Wish I could speak French. Amazing place. I'm speechless as to why they left so many items.

[@Sateisa]

"some food" *takes out mosquito poison*

[@littlebit6211]

It's as though someone went on Holiday & never got back home. The Von Trapps & others did that, but the children and grandchildren went home. Others died. We tried to find people in the United States, but found people left, or died or are missing. I had a French Teacher who's family were victims of the Holocaust of WWll.

[@cherylr8504]

The music! I play piano and kept pausing video to try to look at music! Thank you. Awesome.

[@lorikendrick5076]

It's in really good shape considering how long it's been abandoned.

[@laurab.9845]

This looks weird. Maybe they died together in a plane crash or something. Everthing looks too recent like if you went into someone's house who is on vacation or a sabbatical. Something is bothering my Sherlock sensor. Beeeutifull home n stuff though.

[@donprice9050]

I think someone lived there later than 1977 the toys look more recent.

[@laurafayolle7774]

Yes... and the appliances at kitchen looks from the 80´s

[@Lily-has-wings]

@ Don.....Definitely. See my comment above with more visual evidence.

Thank you again for taking me someplace I’ll never personally experience.

[@aussietlk]

This coil thing you found in the little box in the kitchen was not food. It was a mosquito coil. It's a bit like incense. You light the end of it and it makes smoke to keep the insects away.

[@4133EWvianen]

Whatever, so many people looking for living space and this is rotting away.................

[@mariadej.torresdelatorre1345]

All these beatiful items deserves a second life, theres are a lot of worthy furniture, iron work, decor, books etc. sad to see all this will be losted. thanks for sharing.

[@wehavealwaysbeenanointed4929]

12:42 that is an old school bug repellant coil. You would light the out side ring and let it burn. As it burnt, it would keep the bugs away.

[@iulianispas8634]

Maybe one day you will find Leather Face from Texan chainsaw massacre in one of those houses

[@Seiferboi]

It's always strange to see old abandoned buildings with colorful, kinda modern items! I thought the toys and books were from recent times!

[@tamarrajames3590]

What a beautiful home, and the furniture is stunning. I love your excitement at finding old maps and magazines, like these things from the past are rare and exotic treasures. As, of course they are. I remember having to learn to write with a dip pen, then a fountain pen before we were allowed to use the new ballpoints that had just been invented. They weren’t permitted at school until I was in grade six. That package with the spiral on front is a repellent that is burned like an incense to keep away mosquitoes. I think you can still buy it today with citronella oil in it. This was just lovely, thank you...and please stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

4:56 treadle Singer sew machine has belt its approx 1902-1906 era. Wife or Grandmother or Auntie perhaps bedroom. Many large families Women/Men have separate sleeping quarters (me time😂) Beautiful home. The furnishings incredible. Vintage. Home lost its occupants 1970s? Home is well built, decay isn't as extreme as many homes you've filmed. Extraordinary find. Interesting.

[@karenshawn8406]

Ok a great video again and i can't wait to see. I could see myself putting my child to bed in that baby bed and kissing my other children good night. This place looks so peaceful and serene. I love attics and have always wanted my bedroom in an attic but never had a house with one in it. Maps are what I want in my house. Old ones to frame. I love history. that room with the hamster cage in it could have been a maids room or a farm helper. just guessing. The library was fantastic to see. Great video thanks for bringing it to us.

[@leseize26]

It's not liquor at the end, but vinegar ! And CATCH (box on shelf in the kitchen) is a ribbon you hang on the ceiling to CATCH flies.

[@saradonovan343]

No, it called espiral, spiral. You put it in a especial holder, in a table for example, and then you light it, and the smoke repels mosquitos.

[@leseize26]

The coil you picked up looks like a mosquito killer. We use them here in the south to kill the bugs. I could be wrong but that is what it looks like. (South Carolina USA)

Thankyou for sharing this video. Great place. Some lovely wallpapers. I think you have mistaken some old photographs for sketches. Those are photographs not sketches. Maybe Louis was a photographer. Lovely to have the chance to see this place. I dont know how you find such great places. Thankyou very much.

Une question : mais est-ce que vous refermez les portes et les fenêtres après votre passage ?

[@ladytamaya4737]

Quite likely they have to leave exactly as they found it even if it means not closing the door. I would hate vandals destroying everything and taking these precious antiques.

[@ladytamaya4737]

It is a mosquito coil. I hope to find one because summers in Frankfurt are always infested with flies. In fact only in winter I can leave windows open for long times !!!

[@bfoster2335]

I don't know why, but I'm always sad when I see these old home abandon. Is there no one to come in and take the old photos and other personal things.

[@pizzathefox8809]

Old places are very sad. Places that housed old generations of people. Family tree lines that ether keep going for all eternity, or end forever. A wonderful house full of stuff left to wither away with nature could have been resurrected by family members, but it's ether the whole family tree had died, and no one left to be there, or the family members forgot, or didn't care. Any way life turns it, it's always sad, and beautiful. (I tried to talk as poetic as possible.)

[@dearnapst]

Stunning. Btw you're holding some spirals, to keep mosquitoes away, you lit them on fire and they would create some smoke :) We used to use them in my childhood home.But what is even more frightening, the box to the left of it, is rat poison. Then you didn't have, so many restrictions on poison, if you had a farm. Oh and the green box to the right is stomach meds against acid. Last box to the right, is for children if they had running stomach :) It's a coal heather, we had one like it. Wonderful video
