Where Did They Go? ~ Noble Abandoned Mansion of a Corrupt Family

Life is a constant battle to create order in a world of disorder, humans are continually at war with every might force we call Mother Nature. The manor we are going to explore today has lost this battle after its caretakers lost their interest and rose to heaven. Once inhabited by a wealthy French family, consisting of a loving couple with 3 children, the place has been in the family for over 2 centuries and has been transferred from father to son. The family had their roots deeply strangled in the politics of the local Municipality. Their influence was felt throughout the region and many stories circulated around the town that the family was involved in corruption and bribery. Stories are just stories until they are proven, today I will take you inside of their abandoned Mansion and we will try to uncover the events that led up to its abandonment.

Are you ready for an intriguing adventure?

Hello Leslie I'm 73 and many health problems. Your voice is like a new brand medicine that helps my mood. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The ground floor bedroom leading in to the smoking room would’ve been for the teacher / school mistress / nanny. The children would’ve come down for their lessons and she could access the study via her bedroom. This is why that small child’s bed was in the study/smoking room/classroom 💛
Additionally the “kitchen” was put in in about 1979-1985 when this family manor was converted to a “Summer/Vacation House”. What you said was the “garage” and “utility room” was actually the laundry room and the “utility room” was the original kitchen, hence the stairway in there. The servants prepared food, bed pans and bed water in there to take up to the bedrooms and it’s inhabitants. I’d love to see this all restored to its original glory

You have to admire all the furnishings and furniture from all these beautiful places. You just don’t see the way that furniture is made anymore. True craftsmanship !!

[pollarbear]

I love the way you put it with Mother Nature. “ taking back what man took from her “ that is so true !!

[janiebrossmann]

So very sad that these vintage items and beautiful furniture are left to deteriorate 😞this is an antique store vendor’s dream. I wish there would be some type of estate sale instead of letting things rot away 😢

It's so nice to see a house that hasn't been destroyed by decay, vandals or thieves. The plant at 40:46 is holly. You're right the kitchen is just weird and way, way too small for a house of that size.

[ruthbeck]

Love this wonderful place and the furniture. It looks like someone could move in after some cleaning and live there. It was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for showing this place. Stay safe and love ya Leslie

[dianearmoogan]

I think by far this is one of the nicest home you've explored. Minus the smell in the fridge, everything else is well kept 🙂 👌

[marcelyeoh]

Wow the aesthetics of the owners are spot on. Love these colors they have in their home.

Absolutely beautiful stone manor! I can imagine how the people went about the daily life . That marble vanity with wash basin and pitcher is lovely. Love the lantern in the entrance and colored windows. Interesting lamp post on the staircase. Beautiful furniture in all the rooms. The duck is a pull toy in the attic. I didn't see any bathrooms in the manor. I would love to explore with you! 😍
Excellent Lesley!🎉

The wall coverings in that house, apart from the one in the hall, looked like fabric rather than paper. To replace it, would cost an awful lot of money. That silver oil lamp on the mantel piece was one of the nicest I’ve seen in a while. It needs a chimney and a lovely etched glass, cranberry coloured, tulip shaped shade and it would look fantastic. The lamp at the bottom of the hall stairs is from a horse drawn cart or coach. Love the carved benches from the year 1619 wow! This has been one of the most interesting explorations in a while.

Love your videos ! Several of my ancestors came from France to North America ( New France, later Canada) in the late 1500’s. I love your videos. So well done.

[zanmi]

I love how you narrate. You use the power of your imagination.
You always create a nice family that could have lived there.
I love prowling around these old estate houses with you!
I would enjoy watching your first episodes. Do you still have them? Where?
Keep on doing you, you're perfect at it!

[bobbiklutschkowski]

I could listen to you all day long! So relaxing!!

[ramona_rami]

The living room looks exquisite!! So many precious artifacts to admire and observe! However, the memories left behind in abandoned places are even more precious! Thank you for this lovely tour through history!!!

[CircleB-igmk]

Beautiful.
I absolutely love how grateful you seem too explore these places. I'm impressed how respectful you are to the previous owners and the homes content. Bravo!!

[janetdoten]

Wow! I'm glad and in awe of the fact that there's still so much history left behind
Love you're videos 💟 stay safe and thanks for sharing.

[ДаипвЩуькаьи]

Столько аутентичных, интересных, качественно сделанных вещей! Все они помнят своих хозяев💓Хочется вдохнуть жизнь в этот прекрасный дом!!!

[celiareginarogero]

Hey Lesley! This video is amazing! I loved the intro with its characteristic costumes, it was really the "creme de la creme" 👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

[annhinson]

Wonderful old house. A small fortune in the furnishings. The upolstered furniture is in surprisingly good shape. It's looks like there was no build up of dust on any furniture. Maybe it's the climate. Beautiful ornate carving on the woodwork. The mirrors didn't look at all dirty. What a great time capsule! I would sure love to see these old places in person myself. I'm fascinated by them. What a story they tell!
