Fully furnished abandoned DISNEY castle in France - A Walk Through The Past

In this week's episode we discovered an incredible abandoned Disney castle in the French country side which had frozen in time. Everything which was left behind felt unreal, this historical place being left in a pristine and fully-furnished state. It felt like a walk through the past, exploring this historical time-capsule. Be amazed, and enjoy watching the episode.

I'm 57. This is one of my family's homes. We lost 2/3 of the men in my family during ww1. I played in the place when I was 6 and 7. I can't believe to see the state the place is in. I'm glad to see it. Thank you for your video and respect you show.
When Tata Jacqueline passed we never went back. There is a lot of pain in my family from the war. I hope you understand this. My family plans to redo this home.
Someday you should come when we finish

That moment when they find the 2000 head band and you're like how did it get run down so fast?? And you remember 2000 was 20 yrs ago...

I love how you will respect and honor old beautiful places and their history when you are exploring. I do feel sad and disappointed over their abandonments. I do wish all of them could be save and restored to their original beauty.

I wept while watching because as an American, I have never witnessed anything so beautiful! It reminds me of the Beauty And The Beast castle only NOT a fairy tale. Thank you for taking my breath away.

This video was a treasurer to see. The game these guys could not remember is Checkers. The 'hidden rooms' were pantries for dishes, and other things. I had to laugh when these guys said the one bedroom was a children's room, no this room was the married couple's room, back in time married couples slept in separate beds. The room off the master bedroom is where a servant or the baby's nurse would have slept in that room, and gotten up during the night to change and feed baby. The attic rooms were where servants slept. The guys didn't say but the small steep stair case that went from the cellar to the attic was the stair case the servants would have used to bring things to the family, take laundry to the cellar, and shoes to be cleaned, also to bring food up to serve the family. One of the rooms on the main floor was a 'Ladies Parlor' and the other directly adjacent was the 'Men's Parlor', One of the rooms on the main floor was the dining room for the family, but I'm not sure which room that was.
The big surprise for me anyway and the guys was the kitchen in the basement. In that era of the early 1900's the kitchen would have been in the basement, and servants did the cooking, washing, and preparing for meals. The big table was for servants to eat, and prepare food. The one smaller room was a root cellar, and food pantry. the other room was for storage. I loved the wine cellar! Thank you Guys for all you showed us...So beautiful! I simply adore historical homes, the older the better.

Hi there. The lady in the pool room painting has her natural hair, but powdered. It was fasionable for ladies in the 1780's to have their own hair while gentlemen donned wigs. The leather cuff with the bell looks more something for cattle than horses. The wonderful carved mantlepiece/fireplace is made of oak. The stuffed little bird was once a kolibri I think, very fashionable in the later part of the 1800's -it's sitting on a slab of brown marble and the two illustrations above are 1750's? copper stick prints/originals. In the hall most stucco, skirtings and wall deco is late 1800's in classic style. The canopied chair is upholstered wit hreal silk velvet and called a porter's chair. The sofa/bed is called a chaise loungue. The chairs at the white fireplace are upholstered with an embroidered cross stiched art nouveau pattern 1880's and the oval back chairs are hand embroidered in petit point might also be women. On the amazing white fireplace features the image of Baccus i believe, the god of wine and good living. Thanks for the tour, I'd give an arm to be there.

At 36:00 hanging on the wall by the bed, that looks like primitive, hand carved Rosary Beads. Carved out of wood?

The baby cradle that wouldn't rock was locked. You can clearly see the pin that goes through the frame into the bottom of the cradle. You pull the locking pin out when you want to rock the baby to sleep. Then put it back in. This is for safety reasons. I had one of these for my children. They still make them today and still with the lock so it doesn't tip over too far.

The basement reminds me of where the servants would eat and prepare food for the owners. There were so many cooking utensils. I also saw what looked like bed warmers. The very rich used to have these. The are like covered pans with long handles. Some coals from the fire were put in it and when the owners were getting ready for bed, the servants would put it under the blankets and move it around to warm up the bed. Luxury!

I hope nobody will find this castle and steal things or vandalized this place. thank you for sharing the video

[lynnebunning]

Can you just picture, fire blazing, sitting in red chair, reading, or just dozing, listening to someone plying the piano in the distance, while below servants, cooks working to preparing the evening meal, the woman of the house preparing themselves for the evening meal. Making sure they were suitable dressed. Did the residents see the beauty they lived in or take it for granted. The hidden pantries were beautiful. The beauty is overwhelming. The chain in the bedroom could be a rosary. The blue wallpaper is stunning. Another wonderful & fascinating video. Well done boys 🇦🇺🐨👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Australia

The I could spend years there on just the bookshelves!

[princessoffire]

I am enjoying you NOT knowing what some things are. Your excitement and questioning of what something is that you discovered makes your tours top notch in my opinion. Yes, there are a lot of times I wish you knew what something was, that I was also wondering what it was for, but the fact that you don't sound like a uninterested tour guide makes your videos so fun ! I'd LOVE to see what you guys get to watch. As an American, the only thing I hate about these is the fact we don't have anything like these mansions and castles to look at. It also makes me sick to think that if it were here, it would have been stripped clean by thieves and vandalized horribly.

[felicitasdaboudet]

Lol guys, the “bird’s cage” in the basement is a storage for cheese actually. And the thing I’m the bedroom with the perfume bottles is a travel vanity! And the very long necklace is a rosary, people used it to make their prayers, like the hail Mary’s. Awesome exploring! Great place!

[puddysue]

People who say you are trespassing need to realize actually how wonderful it is you are preserving the images of these wonderful places before they are gone and sharing them for all to see. And you guys never damage or hurt anything, which is why I enjoy the way you approach your explorations... with a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty you find (and the sadness about the waste of such beauty when it is left to rot away)...

[petamalart]

I love how you guys are slow so I get to study details a little more...fabulous (subscribed)

[screwthecabal]

Those antique clocks are priceless. As well as those fireplace mantels.

[charlessamways]

Hello from England - Elizabeth Samways - It is not a bird cage, it is what is called a 'KEEP' where boiled hams, cheese etc was kept to keep the food away from insects, rats, mice etc. My Grandmother had one outside her back door when I was a little girl. It was before fridges were invented.

The room with the tiny playing cards were for the children that stayed in that room. All those small beds were theirs and one twin bed was for the nanny as she never left their side's . This room would be called the nursery. As they got older they would be moved to another room for the training into the family of grown ups. The back stairs always led to the kitchen or off to where a personal assistant stayed until called upon. Servants were to work but not be seen at all so they had to have secret doors to slide into when a member of the house would approach. The modern generation that moved in were the ones that moved furniture into rooms that should not be there and they just did not care to clean . They did go though things to find money and just left. If I had the money I would get that beautiful home back to where it was. Thank you guys for being so nice.

I keep reading comments about how you need to know more of what you are exploring. I respectfully disagree! For me part of the alure is your excitement and youthful wonder at each discovery. Leave the research for the rest of us who are living vicariously through you. All of the information one needs can be found right here in the comments. You guys just keep discovering these incredible, historical, gateways to the past. You have a knack for it.

Een prachtige video! Heel interessant! Een paar observaties:
1:08: de standbeelden worden 'Atlanten' of 'grotesken' genoemd
3:05: deze bogen zijn niet middeleeuws, maar eerder neo-renaissance. Als ze middeleeuws waren, zouden het spitsbogen zijn.
9:15 Fleur-de-lis motief, dit verwijst naar het franse koningschap;
9:25 kandelaberzuilen
28:45: de kleine kopjes zijn Cupido's
28:56: de mannenkop is een zgn. Groene Man, met gebladerte rond zijn hoofd. Groene man is een manifestatie van Wodan.
41:04 heel bijzonder blauw behang met Louis XVI-motieven, ik schat rond 1800-1820
41:33 behangen deur: heel typisch frans
52:25: personeelslaapkamers (dat concluderen jullie terecht bij 52:50)
53:13 zuil uit de renaissance, nee, uit de 19de eeuw, ik denk neo-grec, Ionischezuil met kapiteel
53:27 geen middeleeuwse kelder (want die zou gewelven hebben)
55:33 geen vogelkooi, maar een zgn. vliegenkast, de voorloper van de moderne koelkast. Hierin werden bedervelijke waren in de kelder koel bewaard, vrij van vliegen. In Oldengaerde, Dwingeloo, provincie Drenthe, Nederland hangt er ook zo een in de kelder.

This is quite possibly the most beautiful abandoned castle I have seen on youtube! Wow!
