Abandoned 1700s Fairytale Castle ~ Owners Left Everything Behind!

The man in the picture is Victor Charreton a famous French painter, his name was written on the bottom if the first picture you showed. He was born in 1864 and married Emly Chatin in 1893, you showed her funeral picture in the wardrobe. The group picture you found in the corridor looks to me that it was taken the day of the marriage . He died in 1936 at the age of 72. Thank you for this amazing journey!

The ropes near the fireplace, when pulled, would ring a bell for the servants' attention.

I can't believe no one has purchased that beautiful castle and fixed it up. It can definitely be saved yet. You show so many absolutely beautiful places with so much history. It's sad to see them falling apart.

I am 64 and my aunt is 86. We watch all of your videos faithfully and enjoy every single one. We also love that you are respectful of the treasures left behind. We appreciate the time and effort you take for these videos and will check out your merchandise as well. We are concerned about you being around the black mold without a mask, however, at the same time, it would cover up your beautiful face!😮 but especially be careful with the black mold in the basements. We appreciate you and if you ever come back to North carolina again you have a free place to stay!

Seeing these properties left behind to decay absolutely kills me because I'd give a limb to live in such an environment or pass such on to my children. I wish there was more of a conservation effort to restore/preserve these houses and all the history they contain.

Isn't it just magnificent? Wouldn't you just love to wonder around it like they are? What a dreamy thought.❤ Thanks again guys for a great tour.

The craftsmanship and woodwork of this chateau are amazing, one can notice the carpenters of the time had pride in their work, how sad it is slowly decaying! Thank you Lesley and Danny for a very enjoyable explore! You always strive to bring us the best, ❤

Das Symbol über dem Kamin mit Winkel und Zirkel ist ein Freimaurersymbol. Ich finde euch toll! Weiter so!

I don't understand how this place and others like it are not claimed by anyone. That's just wrong.

The painting on the ceiling...if done like our old "palaces"...the painting was done on canvas then glued to the ceiling.

If only the walls could talk. What an amazing place. It seems unthinkable to me to leave so many wonderful antiques. It also seems curious that no one has tried to preserve this place. Great job guys. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

man, i would LOVE to see France and go explore places like this. what a dream. you guys are so blessed!!

I love what a great team you both make -- each contributing whatever knowledge you have. These videos are like a tiny pocket of peace and beauty for me and others, I'm sure. Lesley and Danny, you're both so lovely, and you treat these places with such respect. Thank you!

The Roman Missal is the Order of the Mass in the Catholic Church. Each mass has at least two Bible passages read and on Sunday, three. The Order of the Mass includes, but is not limited to the opening prayers, the readings, the consecration of the Eucharist, and the closing prayers.

The Château de Bon-Hôtel. Built by Georges Dupré de Saint Maur, 19th century, as a hunting lodge. It is a listed monument. It is not abandoned, and privately owned. Thanks for exploring it respectfully.

I love how you guys have such an appreciation for the architecture, design, and furniture.

the electrical wiring conduit in the attic is further proof that this building was lived in recently--just a decade or so ago. there was an apple computer terminal in one of the bedrooms and in one of the wardrobes there was an extensive lineup of vhs video cassettes. There were also very modern (5-10 years go) plastic water bottles on one table. Someone had rifled through all of the drawers and pulled out pictures, documents, books--all manner of stuff that had been stowed away by the prior residents. The cast iron radiator was pulled out from the wall for someone to check to see if there were perhaps copper plumbing to be salvaged/stolen. The rock wool insulation in the attic had been there for a long time in order to enable the place to be heated when the last person(s) was/were living there.

The heraldic symbol of France that you refer to was in use for centuries before the multiple generations of kings named “Louis” in the 19th century. It’s called the “fleur de lis”, with lis meaning “lily”. The symbol itself is a representation of a lily and was adopted as heraldic symbol of France before 1000ce. It remained the flag of France until the second revolution in the 19th century when the current tri color flag was adopted. The symbol is definitely not unique to France, having been used in heraldry and national standards throughout Europe and the colonies of Europe, though it’s most commonly associated with the French. Just fyi.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful adventure with us Danny & Leslie!!! This was a phenomenal castle! I especially loved the architecture of the ceilings, doorways, staircase & the size!!! It makes me literally cry to think of all of that gorgeous wooden furniture, pianos & China going to waste 😞😰😢 The detailing of the ceilings were beautiful!!! I realize that it would cost an astronomical amount of money to restore this breathtaking property… but I would love to be able to do it 👍🙏💕 Once again Danny & Leslie, you have let us escape from our own lives & issues, to immerse ourselves into this lifestyle for only 30 minutes 👍 God bless you both & may you continue to bless us with your wonderful talents in giving us immeasurable experiences!!! Love from Arizona US👍🙏♥️

You forgot to mention the centuries old, upside down television that must have illuminated and entertained many a family members for many years. Beautiful!
