It breaks my heart to see a place like this falling to rack and ruin. You can tell that in its glory days it would have been absolutely stunning. Love the wall paper...the doors...how big the kitchen was...the tall ceilings...she was a beauty.

[@justinefreedom5964]

I'm still watching and every room has such unique and beautiful wallpaper...and I'm not usually a wallpaper gal...but these are so nice.

[@bethan13-ok]

You guys are like the 'A Team' of Urban Exploring!!! French architecture has always been a favourite of mine. Love these finds

Josh you should write a novel or produce a movie, your marvelous imagination as you explore is an adventure and makes your excitement and joy become ours too...thank you!

[@ExploringWithJosh]

Thanks Mona that would be cool!

[@debyknott7390]

I have said the same thing. Quick books would be coffee table-type book of the pictures you have taken in the different countries you have explored with little facts. More shows like you did with Cody would be terrific.

[@Sleepiscarryingme]

@@ExploringWithJosh Hey man! I've been trying to look this place up with the codenames you gave in the video, but cannot seem to find it? Any help would be much appreciated! Love the videos!

Another History Lesson being told by Josh Hey Josh, Seth and Dan

[@Rat_King_Reviews]

At Waterloo in Belgium, Napoleon Bonaparte suffers defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington, bringing an end to the Napoleonic era of European history.

[@danj36912]

Absolutely loved this video mate! It was brilliant, the only thing I must say is that Napoleon's forces were defeated by the British and the Prussian's at the Battle of Waterloo. The British was led by The Duke of Wellington and the Prussian's was led by Field Marshal Von Blücher on Sunday 18th June 1815. Yours and Dan's videos are awesome! Keep it up! We need another Paranormal series sometime soon! Big up lads! Keep up the great work.

[@shaneswafford9277]

The room with the matching yellow wall paper snd curtians was my favorite, you can tell how glamorous that room would have been at one point. Josh your right, if they would just put so much money towards the roof and windows, they could heavily slow down the collapses on many of these timeless treasures

[@smilylol04]

Wild idea….. why don’t you restore one of these old abandon homes and do it as KZbin series. Sell it, or use it as a filming location. You could maybe do a live stream event to raise the money for the series

[@buggie782]

"You're like Pooh bear...." 😂. This was awesome, can't wait to see what you do next!

[@xAvoider]

Josh: "He was the best" Sun Tzu: and I took that personally.

[@ExploringwithFighters]

That bank vault though

[@lunatwinkin2270]

You all giving me claustrophobic vibes climbing through the hole! This was worse than the caves

[@katlowe1228]

I must say I was well impressed with Seth's knowledge of Napolean, he had absolutely no hesitation in telling us all about him. It's great that you have someone in the group with historical facts of some of these places or famous people that have either stayed at or lived in the properties you go to. 😁

[@haleypin3314]

I wouldn’t say “facts”

[@Rat_King_Reviews]

Facts?????? At start of the video he said nobody could beat Napoleon until Napoleon passed away.... Go and read up on the "battle of Waterloo" At Waterloo in Belgium, Napoleon Bonaparte suffers defeat at the hands of the Duke of Wellington (Britain), bringing an end to the Napoleonic era of European history.

[@katlowe1228]

@@haleypin3314 well....I thought he knew what he was talking about, lol he seemed to anyway. I can't remember learning about this myself, our schools (most) were rubbish back in the 80's in the uk.

[@ambermarieadescat2530]

Wow! What a great find Josh! Would be amazing if it was properly preserved and turned into a musuem to capture the time and history of this gorgeous mansion.

[@christineayres7094]

I’ve been following your channel for like 8 or 9 years now and you NEVER disappoint me in fact your content has only gotten better and I LOVE your merch. Thank you for being so inspiring and choosing to be such an amazing soul in this world of chaos. I’m honestly so proud of you and I heavily vibe with your personality. Never stop being you please. Continue to stay true to yourself and others.

[@abandonedart3139]

Also your my favorite KZbinr. I remember you talking about how Shane Dawson was at one point your favorite youtuber and kinda inspired you in a way. Well your my favorite and you inspire me. I used to also love Shane but you’ve surpassed him in many many ways.

[@rachel706157]

I hate seeing beautiful buildings like this going to ruin. I can't understand why a listed building, rich in history hasn't been restored or at least preserved. Use it as a tourism site, hotel or spa..whatever. Just can't bare to see it crumble.

[@GGaemer]

"you wouldn't know its a door when its closed" *me looking at handle*

[@Angyal_Angyal]

I thought the same thing. 😆

[@francessmith5073]

I grew up in the US and the oldest house I remember seeing there had been built in 1618. I now live in Australia and the house I live in is close to 100 years old. I have seen places in Japan that date back 1000 years which I found amazing. My cousin's family own a chateau in France part of which was built in the 1400's and it takes a lot of care and work to keep it in good order. I must admit it breaks my heart to see places like this falling apart because I love the history and beauty of it.

[@heidib9243]

Just awesome Josh. Loved this exploration. What an amazing place it would have been back in the day. Loving this team of 4. You guys are all fantastic. Stay safe and keep up the terrific work.

[@madamejam5528]

This was an amazing video. Love your story telling along with the footage. Take care and stay save!

[@drew5358]

A large reason why these spectacular homes are often abandoned is due to the property tax being so high it makes more financial sense to just ditch em. Hard to comprehend but money unfortunately is too often is top priority.

[@starmysticcatarot4928]

''Needs a bit of a dust.'' 😆 I absolutely love watching these videos, thanks for sharing!

[@dimitrinastancheva231]

Yeee, finally old Josh is back! Honestly, when you made the "this is the end" video, you got me scared because it sounded like Bilbo from the fellowship of the ring. :D The ghost hunting videos were kinda draining and somehow I missed that "hungry for exploring-uncharted-whohoo-nathan-drake-marco-polo" vibe. :D Again, do what you love, we'll be here to support whatever crazy adventure you're in.^^

[@MartinMcClellanGT]

It looks like those front gates at the entrance were cut maybe to escape with what they founded inside the vaults .

[@MartinMcClellanGT]

So it appears that the real name of that chateau was chateau de ferrieres and not only connected to Napoleon but also the Rothschild family and that would explain that huge vault.

That table is actually a Billiards table. It's like pool but there's no pockets. You have to bank balls a number of times in order to hit the other balls more than once to get a point. It's what came before pocket billiards.
