Without knowing anything about a place which looked abandoned to us when we discovered it 3 months ago on Google Maps, we drove for miles and miles in France to go and check it out. After a challenging way to access its garden, we managed our way inside, and what was left behind truly blew our mind. Being the first ones in 10 years to discover this true time capsule mansion, full with spiders, dust and mold was an incredible experience. Everything was left behind. Later we even found out it this property used to belong to the mayor of the small town in which this mansion is located.

Why doesn’t anyone claim the belongings? Can’t someone purchase this beautiful home with everything in it? It would be a beautiful museum with all that exquisite furniture. You show so much respect for the homes you explore. This home was just incredible! Thank you so much for sharing. Stay safe. ❤️

[@SVTONICBoatWives]

This happens a lot in France, if there are many children there is often a dispute on property, money etc so under French law everything is left until an agreement can be made. Sometimes the state will just take everything to cover legal stuff and taxes. It is sad but that is France.

[@croheritage3d177]

The average price in France of furniture pieces shown in this video is actually pretty low, that's why there's lot of stuff left in abandoned places. The most worth objects would be portrait of a man from the first half of 19th century and that chinoiserie piece of furniture worth about couple of hundreds € each.

This may be the most beautiful house I've ever seen. To think that it is abandoned and that the antiques in it might just decay is heartbreaking. In every room one can feel the love of the family. Thank you for finding this incredible house and taking us along for an explore.

[@j9email73]

Good job Moreno!! It's truly an amazing find. It's a cross from 1890 and 1970! The colors of the bathrooms were an excellent hint! The little pot sitting on the bottom of a small table is actually used to put hot coals. The little pot was quickly delivered to a bed to warm it up. It would be wrapped in a soft blanket and placed at their feet. It was a traditional thing done in the cold weather months. Thanks for talking us inside! 😊😘💕💕💞

[@kellywilliams5112]

I fell in love with the turquoise porcelain bowl with the gold dragon handles.. how gorgeous.. The little pan is called a silent waiter, for brushing crumbs off the table and not onto the floor. I love time capsule homes, and that orange bathroom I could so love that, carpet and all..

[@andrewullman5334]

Growing up, my mom used it to dump all the cigarettes from the ash trays. We called it a "Silent butler"

[@trudyntexas]

The metal piece with the handle is called a gentleman's butler. It was opened for men to put cigar and pipe ashes in. The butler would carry it around the room and empty it when needed.

Thanks for the information.I thought it was a bed warmer.

[@annieb.120]

It's a bed warmer, it's much to large and heavy to be a butler and the butlers were usually free standing and very lightweight.

[@patriciasentz4950]

One of my all time favorite "abandoned" videos of all time, and the fact it was untouched made it so special. From the antiques to the floor tiles, rugs, lamps, fireplaces, everywhere you looked was something more beautiful than the last. You have outdone yourselves!

[@lindahh798]

What a wonderful find!! Except the darn cobwebs, this was a clean house! There were wonderful, might I say gorgeous, cupboards that were remarkably designed with class and usefulness. I love when you very carefully respect the beautiful artifacts and items left behind. Your voice is soothing and calming .... a homerun!

[@diannab.3303]

I absolutely LOVE this place and all of the beautiful antiques. My two favorite explorers in the same video was a plus!! Great find!!

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

Unbelievable! I'm blown away by this beauty. It's such a wonderful thing that you were the first to explore it. That way we're reassured that nothing will be destroyed or stolen. I had to watch again. I sincerely hope that a family member finally comes forward to do something with this gorgeous home. I hate to think that it will be forgotten.

[@saraleecoleman4427]

11:47 you can see an orb on the right side of the screen 24:17 there's a white mist and again at 29:04. I know you said it was cold but if it were your breath we woulda saw it more often. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 my mind is literally blown! I'm speechless! This was by far the best abandoned home everrr!! All those hutchs/cabinets with their hand carved wood work, the furniture, simply amazing! So beautiful!! What a wonderful find and thanks so much for sharing!!😍😍💜💜

I guess your in the pharinormal, I skrolled down to see if anybody commented on the face that I seen, I thought it was a drawing on the top shelf in the cabnent, but Mareno said a peice of the mirror fell at 8:28 Its a face of a women with long hair and the two orange spots are her eyes below is her nose and faintly her mouth. If you see her just reply that you do or you don't.

[@MmmaSthrnVel3]

@@es1263 The 2 perfectly shaped orange spots was probably some kind of glue or tacky to hold that part of the mirror up.

OMG WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That home is just amazingly gorgeous. LOVE the oriental cabinet. I like oriental touches in my home also. That picture of the young girl is the mother when she was a child. I think maybe someone who knew the family may have locked up all they could. Possibly trying to get it.

Excellent explore of this premium time capsule! As beautiful.as it is, it is also very sad to see such beautiful antiques not being appreciated in a museum or carried forward by perhaps a relative. They have so much value not only monetarily but also of sentimentality.

[@momredandjonny]

It is so interesting in a strange way to go through someone's home and be able to look closely at the things that it contains. Homes like this in Europe are so different from houses in Canada. It would be unlikely to find a house like this in Canada with so much furniture and items that speak to a time and are of such quality. Loved seeing it.

[@julosx]

Pretty much everything in this house screams pre-WW1 era and culture. That's why you have little chances to see such a place on your side of the big pond.

The wood furniture is fantastic, that will be worth a lot of money. I’m so pleased you hide the locations as recently there was a lovely find in the uk and then somehow the media got hold of it and then it was badly vandalised. So good for you. Even the “ ordinary furniture “ isn’t that ordinary- big and solid and beautiful. The little pan could be a bed warmer, not sure. That green in bathroom is an old colour probably 60’s. Avocado I think is it’s name. What a gem of a place, I love it 🌹

[@elizabethtorres6069]

🤔 Frame 10:43 Look at the table covered in dust. looks like a painting was laying there for sometime, and someone RECENTLY removed it. Be careful, SOMEONE ELSE has access to this home, they are probably the ones who locked the cabinets. Love this TIME TYPE OF TIME CAPSULE! And that GORGEOUS RED SOFA!💕💕💕 Front and back doors were not accessible, so there must be another entrance in the basement. This person has the keys to those cabinets, might be the caretaker of the property. But why remove what was on the table? That oven is so beautiful, love the color...😂hahaha I am enjoying your fear of the spiders and cobwebs!🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷

[@nangel1001]

If you look closely, not only something like a painting was removed recently, but there are footprints as well!!! Edited: Shoeprints or footprints not footprints 🤭 As well on the small writing table....something was either removed, but looks more dragged.

[@bruceward4711]

Regarding the dust free mark on the table. I thought Maureno may have removed it prior to filming as it probably showed in more detail the location of the house. There were two pictures propped up next to the big cabinet in the room. I bet it was one of those.

That thing at 14:19 is a bed warmer. They put coals from the fireplace. Place it in the clam and put it between the mattress and the sheets. It keeps the chill out during the winter. And you sleep with it. I'm glad this hasn't been vandalized and the cold and humidity hasn't done anything to it.

[@ryanolsen8316]

@Explomo, those pans were made for heating your bed on very cold nights, they would put hot coals inside of them and then they would be placed under the covers down below your feet and keep you warm in bed at night.

[@shirleyshadowen3929]

I believe you are probably correct. It had legs on it so it wouldn't come in contact with cloth or wood surfaces if it contained hot ash. Bed warmers had smooth bottoms and long handles to quickly swish between the covers to warm the beds.
