Life of a Disabled in the 1900s ~ Abandoned House of an Unfortunate French Lady

Why don't you take it to your self . No one is going to take this antique then you should take it with you. it's been here for long time no owner come to take this antique piece better take to your self . If nobody take this then it will not come to anybody work and not useful all things will be rust when not in useevery thing will be collapse when house will collapse I don't understand why don't you take this expensive things with your self

@@regan6625 - I think he feels it's just disrespectful to take something that doesn't belong to you. Also, as an honorable person/explorer it is just not right. I think [if it was me] I would always want something from each exploration as souvenir, but I would take a small brick/stone and date it.. Is that still considered stealing? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@matthewthomasjames]

[@TammieBuckeye]

Wow- the greatest lessons I learn from your videos is - at some time in my life NONE of what I own will matter to anyone. I fully understand material things are worthless

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

I wonder what will happen to all the things i cherish after i die.

[@ForbiddenChocolate]

I understand why you feel that way, but I disagree. The things that bring you joy, that are sentimental, or that you find especially useful for a particular reason, those things have worth to you. Of course, in the end, they are still only things, and some of the items that you treasure most may not have any value to your family members. But some things that you don't consider special at all might be treasured by someone who loves you after you're gone. I think value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. 😉

So sad the antiques and books won't be saved.

[@jagboy69]

and for that very reason, I am not totally against the collectors that go through these places and place the objects up for sale. Right or wrong, At least they won't end up in rubble. I can name you a dozen european resellers here in the states that receive containers of this stuff weekly. We watch these shows and I swear I see the stuff a few months later, but I'll never tell!

Louis Terray was the president of the Federation of Veterans, it had its headquarters in Paris, 16 rue des Apennins. His wife was injured and his foot amputated to the knee during World War II. Thank you for this report

[@VickieV1333]

Where did you find this interesting information?

[@clairehowell3951]

Could you find what happened to the children !!! Thanks

[@louisalouisa959]

@@clairehowell3951 Inheritance law in France is regulated, an inheritance is specific to each file. On average, the delay is six months. The heirs are required to pay the inheritance tax. In the event of late succession, interest of 0.20% per month is due, addition of a penalty of 10% more, if the delay exceeds six months. Considering the state of abandonment of the house of M.R and M. Terray, I believe that the succession never took place. Because success costs more than the good itself. Or maybe the expenses of the retirement home of Madame Terray were supported by the state, in this case it is the town hall of places which recovers the good. It is for these reasons in France there are many abandoned goods

[@clairehowell3951]

Thank you Louisa 👍

[@ForbiddenChocolate]

@@louisalouisa959 thank you for sharing your knowledge. I think it's despicable for the government to prevent families from taking possession of their parents' property with such outrageous inheritance taxes. To then add insult to injury by then letting those properties sit empty and rot is incredibly wasteful and, to me, unforgivable. It makes me very sad.

[@ellyreginald6546]

I love watching stories about good people who had regular but very personal homes filled with amazing things. Though don't understand why the children couldn't clean it out. Many items probably could have been sold, thinking of those WWI paintings. Actually, this must have been a gorgeous house in its time. Small garden, beautiful windows.

[@justinwhite6787]

I love the way you speak when showing this gorgeous home. Im surprised that no one has taken these beautiful works of art and the amazing pieces of furniture to save them. When a property is abandoned is it illegal to be inside them or to have the abandoned pieces taken to preserve them? Im sure the books must also be books that many would love to see. What a shame all of that is left to decay.

Well, heyy dear Lesley, that is quite a special looking room in this picture. - On one hand I can see in this room very beautiful furniture with quite unique features and very colourful. - Also a lot of smaller antiques are drawing my attention like these decorative jars and vases. - Some paintings on the wall seem to have war motivs, - how strange to hang such pictures in the own living room! I am so very excited, what you, dear Lesley, are going to tell us about this highly interesting location. - On the other hand this photographic part of your picture with lady hiding her face behind a book and with the clearly visible leg prosthesis is very irritating and deeply touching. Probably a very tragical drama in the life of this lady?!? - Peace and kindest regards from very rainy and quite cold Switzerland.

Good evening Lesley! What a timeless part of History, what stunning antiques. I see the beauty of once a happy household. A family that worked exstreamly hard. The historical history from Victorian times in France. Plus two world wars. The Artist I see Tells the tale of Soldiers going to fight in the First World War. Definitely means something to the family. To Madame Madelain. Life must of been very difficult especially after looseing ones legs. I can imagine, Madame sitting in the Kitchen, then the accident. The fire. I reckon the fire was a turning point. It's supriseing what happens to these old people. Even the village clock chimmed. Madame just like you as heared the church clock. "what beautiful memories". From the past to the present day, plus what a beautiful village. Plus Thankyou Lesley. 👍🇬🇧🇿🇦🎖️🏅🎥🏺💕🌹

Often times the couple would have separate rooms. Especially with Madam being disabled would need room to get around. As well sometimes one bedroom was used in spring and summer months because it was cooler. The other side of the house in fall and winter as it was warmer with less wind on that side of the house. There are alot of old victorian homes with stories like that where i live.

Thank you for taking us through peoples personal lives full of precious memories.

I Pray for the deceased people that they are in Gods love and care. Please forgive the living family members for disrespecting ( not caring somehow to place "closure" to their friends or family. Even if they are in different countries. They could fly in and donate items to a nearby Church or someone. Blessings. HOPE ~ 😇
