You do an excellent job. You enthusiasm spills over to your audience. Please never lose your compassion or respect for the memories of others. Protect yourself from the mold and bacteria that may be living in these places. We want you to remain healthy. Look forward to more of your excellent work.

I love these old houses the most. You can almost feel yourself go back in time for just a moment when you are in the rooms of these old homes. I grew up in a house that was built in the 1800s and there was a second story that was complete with a living room kitchen bedroom bathroom and a little nook of a room and as a child I had so much fun and such a wild imagination to go with it. I still dream of that home to this day. So I love watching these, it kind of takes me back to my childhood and wonderful memories of that home. Thank you 😊

It is amazing the condition of this home. It does not look as though it has been abandoned as long as it has been. You can really see the passion of the people who lived here for the things they loved to collect. I so appreciate the passion and respect that you both have for the places you explore. Thank you for taking me along on another great adventure.

There are millions of dollars worth of antiques in this place. Just unbelievable. The cabinets, tables, desks, shelves etc.. are amazing in themselves. Watching from Colorado. Its still the wild west out here. Very rare to find these kinds of relics in this part of the world. Very beautiful stuff. I'm completely fascinated by this. Thank you for being appreciative and respectful.

19:53 Not actually perfume but "Lice and Nit" lotion with added fragrance. :) 23:11 That cabinet with shallow drawers looks as if it might have held a stamp collection. 31:57 "Rest in Peace Marie" 32:40 "How many portraits of the Lord I saw in the clouds" Another video that brought tears to my eyes when you went into the attic room with the memorial to Marie. My elderly mother died a couple of years ago and being her only child I went alone to her house and spent time sorting through her belongings. It was a very emotional experience. So many things that were valuable to her but I could not take and had to be disposed of. Thank you for another wonderful exploration video.

[@Explomo]

We feel very sorry for your loss. Peace and blessings to your mother in heaven. And you’re very welcome :-)

Lowkee Kin probably because you can’t keep everything, your house would become a hoarders house if you moved your relatives belongings into your own… You keep what is most sentimental to you

[@nangel1001]

Not sure, but @ 29:07 where you were trying to pull out the drawer on the little table, it looked like there was a wedding band on it.

[@suestoons]

Thank you for the translations. I'm so sorry for your loss. In 2017 I was in a similar position going through my young daughter's belonging when she died due to illness. My husband and I have the opposite experience. We have a farm and many small buildings on it. In the loft of what used to be the barn houses belongings from both sides of our families three generations past. I pity whoever has to go through it all when we're gone. Since our daughter died I've slowly been going through things and writing notes and descriptions of all the objects to make it easier for whatever explorer comes next. There are some very cool engravings from farmhands in the beams of the loft. Apparently, a couple of young guys took shelter there in a hail storm in the 1910s and carved their little experience into the wood. For some reason, this little thing has delighted me for the past 36 years.

[@sundaysuppersingers2545]

The wall-covering must have been expensive. Beautiful attic stove, attic rooms were a great surprise! Repose....Rest in Peace, Marie.

[@sheryllchristenson2729]

[@simondickinson2154]

The cabinet in one of the bedrooms, that had very thin pull out drawers that were empty. I believe this is used for lepidopterology i.e. to display moths and butterflies. Might explain the butterflies found around the house. Somebody probably had an interest in catching and displaying them. Also backed up by the fact there was a butterfly net in one of the attic rooms. My guess would be a couple moved out to the the country. The wife (Marie) was dying and the husband (George) wanted her to die somewhere peaceful and beautiful. He must’ve loved his wife very much. Perhaps the house was left exactly as it was lived in when she died as a shrine to her? Maybe she was well known, and well loved, and out of respect, people left the house alone? You can tell an awful lot by the clues that are left. I’d guess the bullets may have been dug up in the garden. The house may have seen German soldiers in and around the house during World War II, or perhaps was occupied during WWII by members of the French Resistance.

The openings up in the attic are for a chimney sweep to clean out the creosote build up that would help prevent chimney fires. The chimney has 3 flues.

[@Explomo]

Interesting! Thank you very much for this information :D

[@grandmacarla4258]

Guys, this took my breath away with it's beautiful and amazing antiques! You definitely found a gem. Excellent ~ Thank you. The item to pump air for a fire is called a bellows and is very useful. Also, as noted earlier, a wardrobe is a cupboard for clothing and other fabric items. A cabinet may or may not have a glass front, but has many shelves to hold kitchen and other items. We call glasses with a tall stand by the collective name "stemware" You are really getting better and better at narrating and editing and your choice of music is fantastic. Wow guys, you deserve to be up there with the best of the lot!!

[@Explomo]

Grandma Carla Only reading your comment makes us really happy Carla! We are still learning on getting better and better, your tips are very much appreciated :-)

[@mollysworld1000]

The bellows are usually used to flare up a fire in the fireplace. I believe you do need to learn what items are called and what they are used for. You won't get many followers at this point. Unless you learn these things your followers will not learn either. Before you do anymore exploring you should take the videos you have and learn the items in those so you can identify properly.

[@Caterina...3]

@@mollysworld1000 Not everyone knows the names of things!!! What you may call something wherever you are, in other countries they have a different pronunciation or a different name all together; one you may not know! Their young kids, we found out one is just 21 after him saying he was born in 1988, the same date as a newspaper he saw. Give them a break! If you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing!!!

What a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing with us!

[@SRay-or3nc]

You guys did a great job exploring such a treasure trove of beautiful artifacts! I think we talked about the cloth wallpaper before that was in the stairwell with the fleur-de-lis print. I found cloth wall covering in an old house when I was 11. That is the only other time I have seen cloth wall covering ,even though, wallpaper today was inspired by cloth wall covering such as woven tapestries.

[@Explomo]

Thank you Sandy! Neither did we ever found such “cloth wall covering”. Before exploring this mansion we did not even knew it existed. But in this mansion we were able to find it through a perfect example of decay, one part of the wall covering ripped apart 🤩 till next time! 🙏🏼

A lot of the sharp silicea stones are stone age hand made tools. I was an antiques trader, and did some jobs in France. It really astonishes me to find out there is still some left.

That thing you were looking at downstairs with all the big drawers, that weren't deep was where their pictures were kept until they were finished.

[@tester8888]

WOW! What a wonderful, beautiful, amazing place! Thank you so much for taking me here. There is at least a million dollars worth of goods left abandoned in this place, I just can't understand how anyone would leave it there! The cabinet that you found @22:52 is a collector's cabinet. Seeing that, along with all the butterflies that you found, makes me think that they were into Lepidoptera, which is the collection of butterflies, as this is the type of cabinet that would be used to display and conserve things like that, which can be stored flat--also stamps, lace tat, coins, and etc. The words on the wall @32:00 say Rest In Peace, which is common as a memorial for someone who has died.
