UNTOUCHED ABANDONED HOUSE FULL OF RARE FRENCH PAINTINGS

#urbex #abandonedhouse #abandonedplaces
We travel to a rural farming village to find a timber framed cottage that nobody would even know is here anymore.
We are greeted by a vast collection of curiosities from all around the world,
every room is packed to capacity with books, paintings and classical music, treasures collected by a couple who loved to travel.
They lived here with their two children but when they moved out, the extensive collection of paintings grew, crammed between every beam are scenes created by their favourite artist.
The decay now threatens to destroy this beautiful home and everything in it.

The bird is a “ golden pheasant Sam, lovely explore, you and Jess are so careful, caring and respectful, this explore made me really emotional , you could actually feel how much love the cottage held 👍🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰

[@davidcohencrumpton9884]

This is absolutely the best series on KZbin. You go to the best places, filled with the best things. And the commentary is superb. Thank you both.

[@megfuchs9425]

I LOVE it when houses have little surprises, like the closet that leads to a secret bedroom! What a quaint house. Thank you for sharing it with us!

[@kevinclarke4375]

My wife and I really enjoy your channel! I do have a question, have you thought of wearing masks when the house has black mold all over? Here in the USA black mold can cause some major health problems. Be careful and keep searching!

[@kateshane8277]

Sitting with a glass of wine, some brie with jam and the music surrounding you on a rainy afternoon. What a gift this visit was. Thank you Sam and Jess!😘

[@bobthebinbag5949]

Brie, my favourite cheese, your right, you can settle back, get really comfy and let Sam and Jesse take us on a lovely calming explore of someone’s still beautiful home, glorious 👍🐾🥰🐾🥰🐾🥰

[@julieturnbull3950]

Omg Jess that collection is worth thousands of needs reported that should be in a gallery for everyone to enjoy before it ends up swallowed up by mold and decay you could report it and it's where abouts to the nearest art gallery but I W would take a few smaller ones out the frames roll them up and keep them such a shame for those to be wasted what a lovely place

[@kelleycolvin5632]

Someone please go in there and save all that artwork 😢

[@jbuck3592]

U guys find the best places on KZbin for sure. Also your editing is top notch. I looked up the artist and he seems pretty famous. A lotta money left there. I sure hope it doesn’t get trashed and the family can get there to grab some keepsakes and Belongings. Thanks for letting us explore too. Love u guys !!!

[@tinaprentice2136]

What a beautiful home so many books 📚 love the paintings 🖼 and woodwork such a shame this was all left behind. Omg that black mold was insane you both should be so careful the air would be full of spores. Thank you Sam and Jess for another amazing video you both are the best at urban exploring respectful and caring this is why you’re my all time favourites 🫶🏼❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@jethrojackson2524]

All those stunning paintings should be on exhibition - so more people can enjoy and appreciate.

[@michelleferrell2788]

This is definitely one of my favorites, what a warm lovely home! Well done!

[@jimbo9446]

I wish someone would rescue those paintings. They're very good!

[@denisekk8375]

It's amazing that no family member has come in to take care of the house. This house is simply beautiful.

[@nannyofmany8315]

That has to have been your best ever explore. Intriguing property, so busy, decor and full of interest. I would have wanted to go again tomorrow. And the day after. The paintings and so many of them. Intricate artwork too some of it. 2nd trashed place belonging to an artist. Well. Fabulous. A proper artist studio. Would have been splendid in its day. Very Continental in its style lol. Loved everything about tonight’s premiere. Thank you. Absolutely brilliant.

[@connieprettyman6131]

This has to be your BEST YET! Enjoyed the second place just as you filmed it also. Thank You so much.

[@candicesailsbury1355]

I absolutely loved the house. I could live there and love it 😍 It was lived in for many years to accumulate so much stuff. It’s sad of course to see it’s treasure’s being ruined. Great job Sam and Jesse 👏🏻

[@williampat4438]

Same here it’s so awesome watching this here as well. Hi candice how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

[@heathermurray9939]

Things should be in a museum or a art centre, art and design students would love to look around all the things

[@deborahschroeder763]

Absolutely stunning explore Sam and Jess! That art work was amazing! Loved the house unfortunate the mold will eventually destroy it! The artist home was a bonus and great to see! I just don’t understand why people have to destroy something that was amazing and beautiful! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@1028dianemarie]

I get the feeling that this was a summer home or a getaway cottage where they would go to read and listen to music and just unplug and unwind. Does not look like it was a fully functioning family home. Fantastic explore. And I also would imagine that this home was built probably in the 1600s judging by the hand hewn timbers in the top floor. And I am sure you found out: Auguste Allongé (19 March 1833, Paris - 4 July 1898, Bourron-Marlotte) was a French painter, illustrator and engraver.

[@jonimarchese7655]

Sam and Jess, you are probably tired of hearing this but "PLEASE" wear masks when you're in these homes, the mold particles that you are breathing will come back to bother you when you are older and could cause serve lung damage, I say this out of love for you two, ok now this little cottage was so cute and probably a charmer in its day. Love from N.Y.

[@lipmouth5633]

What I use to want about is their are many families out there that needs a home and will be happy to live in such a home even without electricity , they can fetch woods to warm their children up , and live happily

[@claraeditacandini9001]

When they went upstairs, we could see some traditional stuff from Indonesia. One of them we called it "wayang kulit". The owner of the house must have had been to Indonesia.

[@kelleycolvin5632]

The mold may be the reason they moved out. And anything that has been exposed to the spores had to stay. Mold can make you extremely ill

[@cynthiahofer2903]

Those paintings in the first house were very special and skillfully done. I think they would be worth a lot. Even with wall to wall books and paintings the house was still charming.

[@tiddlywinks3776]

This just has to be one of my favourite places that you both have explored guys…just loved it! Xx❤❤ thank you for sharing xx

[@franwebb2088]

Oh my god that has got to be my favourite house ever. I would love to live there. Such a shame its been left, there must be some family that can save it ❤️

[@chrismcwilliams3552]

Someone should be informed about the art collection so it can be rescued and preserved to be displayed.

[@bingusbingus776]

All I can say is it is so sad to see all that art just left behind. Great find at the ending guys.

[@lorenewagner3375]

An amazing explore. I am praying y'all don't suffer from breathing black mold. They say it's not good to breathe it. Be safe! Thank you for sharing all the amazing explores that you do. Seeing one so wreaked as the one you showed later in the video, is perhaps sad. However, had I walked in there at night and seen that statue sitting there...I would have freaked out. LOL

[@chrisblack8390]

So many things in that house an all in its place. Amazing! I loved it. That trashed house was cool too. Would have loved to see it before it was destroyed. Can't believe you went in that basement!!!!! Good job. Thanks

[@sallyelling9329]

That metal item near the dolls in the bedroom appears to be made of Mecano, thanks for taking us to all these wonderful places.

[@ColinHarperSummerson]

Gorgeous, cosy looking home ,back in they day ,it must have been wonderful to have lived there, you find some stunning places , excellent video 🙏🇬🇧

[@megfuchs9425]

Somebody should really save that artwork!!!

[@trudiemead9896]

What a fabulous place, barring the zombie spiders, it was just so beautiful and cozy, especially in its day. My partner and I kept arguing (in a fun way) about how they got the are, we finally agreed it had to be a collector… paintings were beautiful. I saw the trashed artwork place which was so sad to say, I really cannot stand people who deliberately trash places. I am wondering whether the people who trashed it didn’t like the “kind” of artwork in here. Another great video guys. 🧡💜

[@zazahussein8942]

Guys this is such a golden house as it has tons of books and nature paintings....i love to hv this kind of cosy house but it is sad to see when mould & spider webs started to cover some parts of the house....& if ur exploration expose to mouldy houses like this i suggest better that u guys wear mask and with gloves just to be careful as mould can get really contagious.....but u sure hv gone to so many places anyway this is just for the safe side for u both. But I'm really sad to see such beautiful cottage full with treasures of the nature slowly wash away by moulds & webs. But what had happen to the owner?? Hope the government or whoever inherit the place would come n save the books n paintings save keeping back to museums n library. 😥😥Thank you Sam & Jess for this golden journey.

[@selena3863]

Can you let an art museum know about your find? Those paintings need to be saved from the mold!!!!!

[@hbristow54]

The best house so far, that secret bedroom!!! Love the extra bits in the video, love you guys xxx

[@williampat4438]

They did a great Job. Hi Helen how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re ok?

[@raynaknierim9277]

This place is absolutely beautiful. No to the spider webs! What an amazing place. Such intriguing things left in there. Such a shame with the black mold as it will destroy all the beautiful things. I just feel such a sad presence in there. Maybe because the person was left alone. When the spouse passed away. I haven’t felt that with any of your other videos.😢 Such love was in that place when they were there by all the items left behind. Thanks Jess and Sam for such an amazing video.

[@cathydwire1272]

What a lovely place! Even though it was cluttered, you could tell how cozy it was.I loved the layout, it truly was fairytale cottage. The paintings were beautiful, amazing there were so manyy from the same artist. Thanks for the info on the artist and... Zombie spiders, as if they could get an "yukkier"! Great explore!

[@debbieocallaghan3381]

It breaks my heart that this beautiful artwork is going to be ruined. In America we have estate sales where all contents of people homes are sold and the proceeds go to the surviving family members. It's a shame these belongings were not inherited by a family member.

[@jewelzbtully4934]

A lovely lil untouched gem. It really is a shame for all that art work, etc... just left to mold. Love the bonus/longer content! ❤️

[@TheVicky231]

Very nice find! I’m always interested in the artists you guys find. There is an art museum in France that displays his work, they should come get all those beautiful paintings. Here in the US you can purchase them from 22 to 18,000 US $. Loved the last place, it may have been trashed but it was cool.

[@rubyslippers4083]

Wow! I think this may be my favorite video. It is so sad to see all of the beautiful art work going to waste.

[@matthewomalley8990]

I love it when you explore abandoned houses and little villagers love it keep up the good work beautiful yes xx

[@deneasedenson6668]

What a beautiful home! Thank you for sharing your adventures. We don’t have homes like this in Texas.

[@KS-yp1jl]

According to Google, Auguste Allongé was a famous artist. He was born in 1833 and died in 1898. I guess all his unsold paintings were passed on through the generations and the family kept selling his artworks: the fact that one of the pictures had a tag from an auction could simply indicate that it was auctioned and didn't sell. I can't believe those beautiful and valuable works of art are left to rot in that moldy house. 💔 Looks like he was a remarkably prolific artist!

[@lisabelle7553]

Thanks for the insight. Who owns this home, this land, and all of its contents now, I wonder. I’m sure a person could inquire with the local council and see who it’s registered to and even make an offer?

[@tamieckert4548]

Hi Sam and Jesse 👏👏👏🌟💖👍Love your way of covering these time markers,minus the scratches and bruises these once stood in a proper way.Seems like a vacation spot like an air bnb.Which had plenty to explore,even though the place has been on other sites,...Love how you both take your time pointing to details,that are so appreciated,like a fine meal,w/champagne.loved your journey also.Safe trips for you both.Thanks for showing this gem. It’s been a while since I seen it last ❤✅🌟

[@vickilang3592]

Once again you have found a beautiful explore. Love the paintings. So much to see.

[@pfehrman]

That's a fortune in those paintings. I can't believe that no one rescued them. I saw ads for that particular painter's work at auction.

[@elenabucci8052]

Nice video guys you are fantastic ... It is always sad to see these properties abandoned due to economic problems or quarrels between the heirs ... All those books ... a beautiful property, greetings from Italy 👏💙🇮🇹

[@deannag48]

Q Wow! What a find! Phenomenal! You guys are so brave going down the basement! You are so respectful and careful. You are my favorite explorers!! Thank you, but please stay safe.

[@williampat4438]

Same here they did a very great job here as well. Hi there how are you doing with your family I do hope you’re safe from the virus?

[@tomgrant3893]

I wonder if the house got condomed due to the mold, would love to live in a house like that, they seemed to be highly entelligent couple living in a house that went bad. what a stunning collection of everything TV, music and books. You gys do such great vides, I always learn something new, it's been a real treat after a rough day. Thanks.

[@southernjustice615]

Wow the bed rooms upstairs!😳 Absolutely incredible! Ahhh the paintings 😲 Nature! Exquisite!!

[@Franzie2105]

It was a wonderful visit, your voices are so sweet and this house was so melancholic. I love the bedrooms . Thank you so much

[@derekwilkinson7939]

That has to be the nicest abandoned house ever, the artwork was amazing and beautiful. Fantastic explore thank you.

[@gerriosbornford4857]

This house is so beautiful lots of cool stuff I dont understand why someone would leave this.

[@carrierhinier6291]

I think this is one of the top five explores you’ve had! Amazing- with all the artwork and just the general feel of a cute cottage. That “hidden” bedroom!!! It is untouched! Hope it remains a mystery to the urbex world! Please be careful breathing in all that black mold- I’d rather you mask up and stay healthy!

[@jaxyab]

I absolutely love watching your explores. You two are lovely people showing care and respect. Be safe. Please wear gloves and masks. Much love from Michigan USA.

[@sandrabell6532]

Great explore again. The artwork is amazing, shame it isn’t taken out and exhibited so others can appreciate it and it’s not lost and forgotten. A treat to watch, fantastic Sam and Jess. Should wear mask , black mould is deadly, take care.

[@elizabethjohnston3264]

One of the best explores I've ever seen.Well done!

[@saltysammy3457]

Sam and Jess I recently discovered your channel and I absolutely love it! It would be so nice to live in the lovely little cottage tucked away from the world with all those beautiful paintings, books & music who would want to leave it.

[@penny-farthing]

Beautiful home and the paintings are stunning 💕

[@theunionrep]

Wouldn’t it be lovely if someone could rescue this lovely home and give it the tlc it needs to stop any further decay & tun it back into a loved and cherished home

[@jaxbarrow5051]

AMAZING HOUSE! Well done yet again you two for such an interesting and beautiful explore! Just be careful breathing in all that black mold! X

[@SammeLagom]

Very relaxing explore! Love it! The mold get my nose tingly!

[@hahomy]

Wow guys what an amazing explore I really enjoyed this place what a lovely un touched chocolate box cottage I cud really see u and Sam living somewhere like that, then a complete contrast the last place completely trashed it's good to both cos it shows the real reality of life well done guys brilliant video 👍💖 keep up the good work 👍💖 much luv xx

[@annemiekereffeltrath]

Thank you my Dear Sam&Jess, for this amazing home 🏡, with gorgeous paintings 🖼 😍, and that livingroom with the open fire 🔥 place, and the attic were mind-blowing beautiful 😍 ❤! Have tons of new subscribers, and have a lovely Tuesday and Week together. As always Love&Respect from us:Anne&Harry from Amsterdam. 🖐🐾🐾❤❤❤❤🙏❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘✌😘

[@Carol......]

Beautiful quaint little house, I could happily explore in there for a week. I'd be paranoid all day afterwards that spiders were on me and in my hair though 😫 The walls were a bit bare, you'd think he would put a couple of pictures up 😄 Thank you for showing us round guys, loved it 😘😍

[@karenfountain1352]

Wow what a lovely place, so Homely and loving, but so sad all that left to mother nature and the Dreaded black mould, the lady Photo by the bed looks so lovely and loving, in the 2nd house did I here something or someone Whistle loved it thank you Sam and Jess 🙏❤🇬🇧

[@evelynmayton470]

THIS IS FANTASTIC, AS USUAL, WONDERFUL MUSIC AND YOUR EXCELLENT INTRODUCTION. THANK YOU

[@eppityrrell8236]

Beautiful explore love you two 💕✨

[@Knockout5111]

I love these videos. I always try and imagine what the person and their family were like, what did they care about, and what their passions were. I want to do this so badly. I love the respect for the environment these people show as well.

[@astriddobek8931]

I've absolutely fallen in love with that cottage. Somehow making the basement into a living space and adding a sparrow staircase to it. The place is absolute gorgeous. And the workshop across from it that's unread. Converting that into a guess house. Thank you so much for sharing it. Oh and I worked for a man that was a collector of art. And his house was very similar. Quite a bit bigger but from floor to ceiling covered an art.

[@tommax26]

This tour is THE best explore of an abandon home. AMAZING is an inadequate descriptive expression of this rare find. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. A person would need several life-times to leisurely read all those books.

[@judymccoy6688]

I think this is one of my favorites because it seems to be more middle class. Also one of the saddest so far. Thanks

[@vintageseafinds7208]

LOVE YOU ALL CHANNEL SO MUCH!!! VERY HAPPY I FOUND YOU ALL!! GOD BLESS!!🥰😍😍😍😍💯🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@joancramer3675]

This was delightful with the upstairs room and a hidden room what a treat. Enjoyed all the pictures of various styles. But I do have a concern for all the mold, black and bird dung You really need to protect the lungs when in these places. Might not affect you now, but do Google and educate about it please. Enjoy seeing things, but really praying you’ll look 👀 into protecting the set of lungs 🫁 your gifted. Joan 😮

[@tinapalfreyman8770]

Big Thanks guys. Awesome place. so sad were is the family?

[@janicesperry7780]

One of my very favorite explores with you two. The bedroom behind the cupboard door was like a fairy tale hidden room. You are 2 of my favorite explorers..always great videos and you take your time and allow us to enjoy what you are finding. I truly appreciate that. Jess you seem to be so kind, lively and always up for the adventure. You are very brave and seem to enjoy each moment. Those are admirable qualities in a person. And Sam you have a great narrative voice and seem like such a good guy. I also want to thank you for still doing abandoned videos even though I enjoy some of your paranormal adventures with Karl. Too many of the good explorers have went fully paranormal now and it is a little disappointing. Take good care of yourselves and stay safe. ❤️ from S.Dakota U.S.A.

[@gregg3356]

Another wonderful place! Thanks for sharing.

[@flipnawesome5756]

I do love these explorations. But please, please be careful, that black mold is deadly. The spores are floating through the place.

[@sarahjones-jf4pr]

With beautiful painting and music and books why has this house been allowed to let people rummage through these very private belongings?...security ? and no-one to protect the house? with lovely belongings festering in mould no family? no locks on the doors.. no privacy?......

[@jacquesafley5828]

OMG all the beautiful artwork and the books just left with in a decaying home, so sad. Would have been such a lovely cottage to live when it was in great shape. You guys are Soo lucky to be able to find such places. Take care, be well. 👍😊❤️❤️❤️

[@hollypierce3076]

That looks like you've stepped into an old book or something, it's beautiful It is such a shame that all of that was left to rot. It's absolutely breathtaking.

[@trudiemead9896]

Omg just watching from the beginning having caught the premier too late…. i am traumatise by the zombie spider dungeon… I kept shouting “get out” at you both! 🥺😩😫

[@bingusbingus776]

Wow that last room was something else 😳. That painter shur loved his tree's.

[@gustavoaimar8927]

Incredible place. I have never seen an exploration so full of things and so intact. The second location they toured turned out to be very interesting. I was looking forward to seeing more details. It deserved a separate video.

[@user-gk3qp1qf5d]

Music/ soundtrack is so nice , love both of you❤

[@sharijotershin1262]

So Amazing! Thanks 🥰

[@nickmusic8574]

Loved this one guys!

[@suzannec5621]

What if…those paintings are the artists very best original artwork? Everything I see online for him is rather dark and dreary, but these paintings are gorgeous! Maybe they are prints I don’t know but if original it would be so sad to lose them.

[@vickilynn1204]

The best of your best. Loved it.

[@valeriealvis7740]

What a sweet place! So sad for all the waste!! Such a shame

[@debbiehollis5711]

Hello Sam hello Jess.lovely little home .All those water colours must have spent years collecting the same artists work.Shame it all lies undiscovered slowly deteriorating.Thankyou for showing me .

[@GracefullyTwisted69]

Sam and Jess, I think I am in love! My jaw hit the floor seeing this small home so lovingly filled with so much culture, I was so lost in what to look at it held so much. You need not guess the type of couple that lived with in these walls, the love that must have been held to one another as it was to this home. It shows in how beautifully things were placed to shelfs and stored for all to be shared and enjoyed throughout their time there. *Takes a deep breath still looking upon the visions before me. * Tis sad that time is slowly taking it away from us. You always find such amazing places, I'm so jealous, lol Love you both as always and thank you for allowing all to see these treasures. It truly means a lot to see them alongside you both♥ Btw, that cellar I would never go in w/o screaming hahaha... Your brave cause I am not a spider fan tbh. 😵‍💫😮😱 The last bit of footage was sad; I hate the lack of respect people have for these places to destroy things as they did.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Originally that cellar would have been used for keeping food cool. There is probably a spring very close.

[@sueyoung8697]

I've watched a show called hoarders, it really something the way that some people can live the way they do, I know it's a sickness, and I hope I never get that bad, I'm 62yrs old and I hate clutter

[@Morynna]

You two make me want to get out and explore abandoned houses. Awesome find! It would have been cool to know the dates on some of the wine.

[@williampat4438]

Hi Linda how are you doing with your family?

[@tiffanyrose8810]

Great video guys.

[@julesdymond8728]

That was an amazing cottage 😍 I wonder if an actual composer lived there 🤔
