On this weeks' adventure, we are back in France again to visit an astonishing manorhouse that is preserved in time for a rough two decades. This glorious mansion was built in the late 18th century and was once the home of the Gerard Family: Mr. Jean Louis, his wife, and three children. Jean Louis had a career in aerospace and had a huge predilection for hunting. All his hunting rewards are displayed throughout the property and inside we find the most random and strange items of taxidermy. They lived an extravagant lifestyle. The quantity of antique furniture we find inside is extraordinary. Explore with us, as we open the doors of a legit time-capsule of the past and document what's left behind.

Thank you for being so respectful of their memories.so glad the place was not vandalize.
So in the olden days when they had important dinners they would have menus it's such a beautiful place very art deco
i love that time capsule art deco red chair room.
Não havia banheiros na mansão?
The Dutch must be marvelous beings bc you two young men are empathetic and reverent to your explore locations and polite to each other! Excellent vids and good vibes!💓🤘 Thank you!
yes but still they did not recognize all the dutch things in the room with the red chairs and in every other room. :) i want to know who made the paintings. they are from great ducht painters. and even willam turner made paintings in my birthtown dordrecht. and i live in delft now, and i also see delft blue pottery in this house.
Of course However they too have their rascals. You should see how many bikes they fish out of the canals.
Wonderful place! I love how this place has wonderful Art Deco clocks in every room showing functionality, workmanship and Art rolled into one piece. (Now we have cell phones to distract us.) There’s something comforting about the ticking of a clock and the texture of an overstuffed chair or beautiful ceiling to floor curtains to keep the wind out. Signs of a bygone era.
I guess I am kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to stream new movies online?
I think you have a knack for finding these glorious homes for us to see. I say, over and over again, that you do such a terrific job of giving us a birds-eye view of how they lived. Regardless of how we live and what we acquire, someday it will all be left. You explorers do bring some remembrance and appreciation to what these people enjoyed and, no doubt, loved to possess during their lifetime. Another job well-done to a modern-day explorer.
The flat ornament you wondered about in the room with the red seats isn’t to fence something off. It’s to protect from the direct heat from the fireplace and also to stand in or in front of the fireplace when there’s no fire as a decorative piece and to cover the unattractive fireplace interior. It’s called a fire screen and often made from tapestry or needlepoint.
Also, the hat you picked up from the rug that had a date of 1863 - that style of hat doesn’t seem to match that date - could that have been the date the hatmaker was established in business?
🤣 Hahaha!
The fighting🗡🐿 Squirrels is quite an interesting way of displaying the dead. I love animals and this room is my favorite, but the display of the two foxes hanging in an artistic form, was disappointing to see, but I didn't kill them, and it's not my home. From a distance it has a comical two dancing foxes look, until closer inspection tells another story to their demise. I love how Mr. Jean Louis use of pieces of wall paper to a blue painted wall is ingenious. I truly LOVE IT!
The statue of the sitting lady dressed in black, on the mantle is a gorgeous Deco Art Design which I love. The ceiling beautifully done as well. I AM ENJOYING THIS FOLKS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA!💕😁👍🏻💕
That clock on the mantel,pure Art Deco worth literally thousands
Breathtaking!!!
Pat Jones I collect Art Deco and I can assure you you won't find genuine sculpture and clocks on line, and you will pay thousands in an antique shop that specialises in early twentieth Art.Not an antique shop on the high street
@@rippingale100 You're entitled to your opinion.
Pat Jones it's a fact
I think we all understand the respect you have for these abandoned places and why you dont show outside there are people that would destroy the location just to act like the little bastards they are. Great vid as always thank you
26:40 ...This little guy is an umbrella stand. 27:14 ... A fireplace screen when the fireplace was not in use. 27:58 ...A bisque piano baby would rest on the top of the piano. 29:01 ....The clock was always on the left side of the statue (Art Deco) French. 51:26 Toy horses circa 1890-1920 made of wood.
What a wonderful video. I’ve said it before, your videos are amazing! I so appreciate what you do. Especially the way you take your time filming. And the genuine care you express. Thank you so much for all you do!
An amazing beautiful place, beautiful furnishings an furniture,I don’t like the animals taxidermy,but in those days it’s was very common,over here in England they had them in glass cases ,an hanging on the walls .It’s all breath taking .incredible video loved it much love Ann uk xxx stay safe
Amazing ,there is an absolute fortune in vintage ornaments in this place.It’s a shame they are being left to decay.
So true
@21:55 I want to see the monogram on the silver cutlery. Back in the day, young unmarried women began to gather their trousseau which items needful to start their eventual home during their married life. All bed linen (white only) as well as kitchen and bathroom linens would typically be monogrammed with the woman’s maiden name initials. (Hence my interest in seeing the monogram on the dinner knife set). Throughout the years, these wives would inherit their grandmother’s or aunts’ flatware and other items, which would have their original owners’ maiden name initials.
Therefore, if you went to dinner at a family home and nothing matches: the carving knife is a different pattern from the soup spoons which is different from the dessert set and then the coffee service is different again - you’d know that the woman of the home has a long family lineage. Again at about 46:00 there was linen in the first bedroom that I would enjoy going through to examine them. These things deserve to be catalogued and passed on to current family members - or, if no one can be located - donated to a local museum.
It’s simply too lovely to let deteriorate.
And now you know! Thank you for sharing this most interesting video! How precious to see things in their original place - untouched & undisturbed right down to their wedding pictures. Beautiful!
I love how you take the time to show every detail of this place. I so enjoyed this explore, it almost feels like a museum there were so many wonderful items to see. Thank you so much.
Somebody must have been living there recently, it is not abandoned long. 7:38 see the modern LED flashlight, they are not in produce more than 10 years, also the biscuits there look fresh
Plus they have electricity
Also at 21:31 remote controls are visible.
Thank you for exploring these beautiful mansions; for the world to see! It brings back some life into these places, if just to see what glory and beauty they once had long ago.
Those cliffs look like a Dover.
You are Turing into quite an actor! 😉👏👍🇺🇸
Spectacular Art Deco clock on the fireplace mantle! ( $$$$$ ).
The radio and furniture are Art Deco too!
Art Deco ceiling light in hallway.
I think the badger is an umbrella stand.
The crawling porcelain baby in the cabinet you said is the one no one opened in about 20 years with the gold interior, is a piano baby. Those were put on top of pianos.
I LOVE all the Art Deco clocks!!!!!! ( $$$$$$ ).
Even the red chairs and sofa are Art Deco.
Look at all those wonderful horse pull toys! ( $$$$ ).
Art Deco calendar with a gazelle on the mantle.
More Art Deco in gold color on the mantle with a woman, grapes and goat baby.
Maybe the menus are not from restaurants, but for dinner parties they had. Back in the day, they were very formal.
My wednesdays and my Saturday nights are always sorted with the best urbexers on the planet ☺
Don't like seeing those poor animals like that it's heart breaking... The Lord's Word Is Truth.....
@@maryhorsley2606 nor me but I know they re not suffering anymore,it's a wierd sport,don't know what the attraction is in Trophy hunting whatsoever ,cruel and barbaric tbh.The boys did warn you though huni,try not to dwell on it it's far less of a thing as it used to be unless you're the royal family
I hope it gets to stay this way until someone can do something with it💜💟
Such a beautiful manson.When they show movies of this era and then you show home like the ones in the movies, it brings the whole of the home to life. Young girls in their long dresses with ruffles and stringed up boots and curls in their hair, running down the stairs. One can almost see family going about their day. It would of been hard to have lived back in the era if you were not a person of money. Maids and servants to keep up and building fires to keep the house warm, doing laundry, fixing meals. Was there indoor plumbing?
Beautyiful house......the menus you found were from a wedding very interesting......
No bathrooms? Those aren’t restaurant menus! In the day dinner parties at home had their own dinner menus hence this one only had appetizers- soup- salad & entre drinks desserts available once where restaurants had several choices! This was wonderful to see!!
A lot of early 20th century stuff here... shows you when the family was at their peak affluence. I wonder when and why it became abandoned. Ah... if only I could be a fly on the wall of a time machine.
Thank you for your videos !
The cupboard in the kitchen with lions and foxes is really worth al lot of money! What a lovely job on carved wood!
OMG, the cupboard in the blue room the first after the kitchen is an authentic original art deco style! So beautiful!!
The room is decorated in the original art deco style from the early twentieth , the wallpaper , the furniture , chair, mirror , mantle clock and mantle vases are gorgeous and really precious , real work of art! While dinner chaires are new renaissance style and probably belong to the set with kitchen cupboard. OMG everything is authentic and real antique from about the other half of 19 th century!!
The other red salong has also some art deco furniture, like sofas and armchairs and the mantle clock , typical art deco style, very unique !! Some furniture from Napoleon III times also like the glas cupboard , beautiful .
This family was very prosperous in the past, obviously. But none of them was a cook, of course. They definitely were upper class people , very rich :))
Guys, don´t tell anybody the address of this house, so it will not be ransacked and vandalized by thievs! Cannot believe that hoses like tht were just abandoned with all the treasures in them so that anyone can just go in and take whatever .
The photoes are from early 1920 th and all the people on them died already even those children are more than 100 years old so they probably died too .
.
You can name this video ART DECO MANSION , because it´s completely decorated in this early 1920 + style , very expencive and luxurious
Just a beautiful find! Breathtaking Art Deco statuettes , clocks, radio and furniture!! I am glad all of this has been so well preserved.The Master, sure loved his hunting and trophies. Not my cup of tea, but I get it. Like others have commented, I am glad no one has discovered this home and vandalized it.It should be preserved and protected. Thank you, for showing us what we would not ever see or know about with these treasures.
Awesome editing and marvelous job you guys Do. Places may be I won't ever see in my lil life Thank you for connecting me to the culture and quite a bit history of countries. I don't have words but I'm mesmerised by the will power and danger you people take to shoot. Hats off👒📴
You certainly breathe life into the objects you speak about in each room. Each is truly a mystery. You always get me thinking, wondering, and I find myself researching people of the eras. You two have a very stimulating and thought provoking channel. It's a bit like exploring the Titanic...before it's completely eaten up by the watery deep! Thank you so much for your respectful explorations. You're the BEST!! 😊😁😘❤❤💕💕🌻
Love the squirrel's too. The other animal with claws was badger . That is a fire place screen so ladies could sit in front of and there beeswax makeup would not melt back in the day. Art deco furniture . And love the art deco bronze clock with flapper and dog. Floor tiles and staircase are beautiful. The horses are fantastic what a find! I feel downstairs wall coverings where re done in 190's or so maybe a few rooms upstairs but the one small room had stunning art deco wall paper definitely old original. Loved the whole place. I think some relative acquired the place and started to up date to use as Bed and breakfast with those menu's and all the dishes but may never have happened ?Bravo Explomo stole my heart on this one!
I could make this a very long comment ~ but I'll shorten it to WOW, WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE, beautifully filmed and narrated. THANK YOU!
I have the Bird Bath with the Bird’s on the edge of it. My Brother is gave it to my Mother from Greece when he came home from the military!
A lot of art deco 1920s wallpaper and furnishings. The photos were all from the early 20th century, 1910s and 1920s, so probably ancestors or relatives of the man who died. Great explore! Also, the bedroom in the attic would have been for a servant back in the day.
The furniture and contents would be a fortune at auction, damn shame to see quality and potentially unique items decaying. I'ts more important than money though, that beautiful items should be preserved for enjoyment now and for future custodians. . Wonderful video, so glad of the extended time, it feels like I'm there in the explore too. Thanks Explomo, stay safe men.
Wow, wow, wow!!! Simply amazing❤ Your choice of music for the opening perfectly set the tone for this explore. What an exquisite home! Can you imagine what it must have looked like in its glory days? I have to say the taxidermy was hard to see, especially the poor foxes but, those squirrels were kind of amusing 😁. Thank you for you care and respect of these tragically forgotten places, so sad to see. Also, thank you again for sharing your passion with all of us. Much love and peace, explore on my friend 😁 ❤
I have not forgotten the craftsmanship involved in those wood cabinets, look at the details and design. He loved hunting, and he made sure it reflected his love for his hobby. I think the stuffed Badger stand is for umbrellas or the tools used for the fireplaces... watch out for those claws! 😂😆🤣
Those hats I think are called a Derby.
Thank you for the adventure.💕
Anyone else here that hopes it's preserved for more then 50 years...There seems to always be some rubble including a Sony flat screen box haha. With that said I loooove these videos. Well made!
It's probably a menu from a wedding or a formal occasion that they went to. Lots of times at weddings or things of such, you will get a menu of what they will be serving that occasion. Usually they end up being saved as a memento of that special occasion.
yes you get it just it are Menus from a mariage or from 50,60,70,years mariage or goldmariage,silvermariage!! firstcommunion and so more!!i like it, its so beautiful every things!!
Maureno and Remon are in my honest , humble opinion the very best urban explorers on TH-cam/ in the entire world. They need their own Netflix show or TV show. 💯✌🏻💯❤️ peace and love, keep safe always both of you guys , from your friend Dr.Louis in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 👍
This mansion screams Art Deco, the wallpaper, the red chair set, the more modern looking cupboards-Art Deco. The lady mantle clocks-Art Deco!! We have a mix here of Victorian and Art Deco. The black and white pictures which you refer to as paintings, are not paintings. They are prints done with ink in a press-lithographs. I must have missed the bathroom(s). Thank you so much for the tour!!!❤️
It's only my opinion, but I think anyone who has to be surrounded by a bunch of dead animals is really sick. Seriously, the two squirrels posed with swords was incredibly disgusting. I don't understand that kind of sickness. Thanks for sharing this video, guys. As usual you outdid yourselves. I hate the dead animals, but I love your videos.
I love the way you describe each room and knowing something about the family . I’m into antiques. I love looking at all of the wonderful antiques you show. I am a true follower. You do a great job. I will continue to follow you. You are a pristine young man.
Hello from USA. Thank You for doing this. We LOVE your show. My Grandfather, Mothers Father, was a Gerard and changed his name, when he came here at a young age, to Garrett. I did not find a Jean Louis Gerard in my Genealogy during that time frame. But I do have it back to Jean George Gerard 1774, in Moselle, Lorraine, France. And a Louis in 1840. Thank You
This was simply an amazing 😉 place to visit!! It was like walking back in history. I’m sooo glad it was left this way without vandalism! It warmed my heart! Thank you
Your respect is what keeps the invitation open to the unknown. Thank you again for such a beautiful explore!
I’m very impressed how they lived in those days. Awesome explore, Thank You for being methodical and letting us see every thing in great detail. This is my second time watching your voice is so soothing , like Leslie’s and I was so relaxed you put me asleep, a good thing. But if it happens I rewind and watch it again. I like how the history unravels in the explore. 🤗💕
How ever do you manage to find such remarkable places! You have been given a gift! Thank You for sharing this with us!
Art deco dream , amazing. Wallpaper, blue n gold room decorations + chair, ornaments ,radio, clocks n lamps r all 1920s-30s, w a French flair
Love the squirrels. The furniture is soooo beautiful.
It looks that this typical 19th century maison de maitre has been totally redesigned around 1930 in art deco style. It's fascinating how they kept all those knick-knacks which were old fashioned already when they modernized the place such as those biscuit figurines! It would be really sad to see this place ruined, hope someone will eventually save it because it's unique art deco time capsule! As a french antiques collector, I have noticed that clock placed on a chair next to bedrooms is identical to one that I have in my collection!
amazing video maureno.. if only walls and furniture could talk.... thanks for this... tc
Look at all those frames on pictures and mirror's. So amazing beautiful. Thank you so much for taking us threw this home.
This was a magnificent find, lovely tour , and can understand being discreet
Erard is the name of a famous piano maker in France of German origin. Erard invented many developments for the piano and the harp that changed how both instruments were used. This piano may have been built much later by the Erard company.
Absolutely wonderful! Looks like the family enjoyed foxes! Blessings!
Such a beautiful place.The gentleman was an avid Hunter ,taxidermy cost a lot of money these days Such beautiful China,furniture wall paper and light fixtures just gorgeous.thank you.👍👍❤️🇺🇸
WOW what a find this is absolutely a time capsule,,,,,,,💓💓 Loved this Keep on exploring Xx
That black and silver mirror was....WOW!
I am glad that you are developing and that you cooperate, it is nice to be a small part of it :) The house you are showing us today is beautiful, it hurts me that so many souvenirs are deteriorating. I kiss Aleksandra from Poland.
Fantastic Art Deco pieces!
Great explore! I adore how you take your time and try to show everything. Your videos are so interesting. It seems like it’s easier for you, Maureno, when Remon is there to open cupboards and hold up things while you hold the camera, but you do manage without him as well. This was really a great find.
Looks like a lot of the furniture and some of the decorative pieces are from the Art Deco or Art Nuevo
Excellent video of a home that is frozen tin time
IF I was a sqatter, this one would be easy. Clean the bedding, dust, bug spray. Already got electricity. Could get a few electric heaters. Take it one room at a time cleaning, exspecially the rooms you want to use and you would have a pretty nice place. Might have to get up on the roof and do some roof patching. Yet, to see the bathrooms❓
Absolutely Incredible ❤️
Hello again Maureno, sorry for being so late to the viewing but definitely worth the wait... Beautiful home that you have found here and as usual, excellent job of documenting it. Such a fascinating array of furniture and collectable items... Sad to see it just abandoned and starting to decay. Some of the decor is a little too 'busy' for today's taste, but the overall vibe of the 1920's "art-deco" is very strong and you can see that it does 'stand the test of time...' You can see that some items have been removed from the disturbances/patterns in the dust, but the family of the former owners have left behind a not-so-small fortune. Hopefully someone will legally save the content as well as the entire home... As usual, thanks for the wonderful explore and best wishes for the future!!
Egads man! In the first bedroom there was a glass jewelry box in the cabinet and a multi drawer jewelry box on top of a dresser. At least they looked like jewelry boxes I have seen. BUT I love your videos, watching them just got me through a horrible bout with a flu. May you be blessed.
i think they had dutch roots. because in the sittingroom with the red chairs i see 10 dutch things like the paintings on the wall are from really big dutch painters and the little things in delft blue.
Lovely video but how sad all that beautiful stuff going to waste
Magnifique vidéo Rémon et Mauréno je suis étonné de voir se manoir à l'abandon avec ce très beau mobilier de très grande valeur ses cadres ses horloges ect ses fou de voir sa j'espère que des vandales viendrons pas visiter ce joli manoir abandonné bonne soirée à vous
A favorite episode for sure. There were many beautiful objects and interesting furniture. The object you thought was a type of barricade was used to place in front of fireplaces to radiate the heat. I loved there was no vandalism on this one. So strange family has left personal photos and documents.
Another fabulous upload gentlemen and thank you. Beautiful piano music too at the intro, I love that so much. 😀
What a beautiful old home!!
The paintings are lovely.
Beautiful place.
That card with the menu inside I’m thinking is most likely from a big family event such as a wedding and that food is what they were going to be serving..., this family obviously had money..., there wealth shown in most rooms your going thru! Beautiful paintings, statues, nicknacks and more!! I love the real old photos... I’m sure some are from the late 1800s fantastic find!!! Ok going to finish watching 😀
Thanks for another fantastic visit through the past...including the antique radio: I collect them.
All the best to the both of you!
PS: agai, this living room looks so cosy, and is in such great shape that it would be nice to spend some time there, at tea time, for instance, or to enjoy a cup of coffee in such nice surroundings, with an invitation, of course! ! I love the Art Deco wall paper! By the way, the object in front of the display cabinet is nominally a fire screen, but, in this house, i think that it's mainly used as an ornament ! To the left of the display cabinet litterally sits a tooled leather pouf from Algeria or Morocco, , which were very popular because of their comfort and their exotic flavour in the 1920's and 30's !
Another amazing video, thanks for sharing and did enjoy it.
Wonderful video! I enjoyed every moment of it and love all the vivid colors - the photos of the kids and grandkids show children from a long time ago.... well past living currently. And the menus could have been tokens from a wedding or other special dinner event.
Love your videos. You are very respectful of peoples belongings. I’m new at this but enjoy places you explore that only I can only dream of. So thank you new subscriber from Canada~😄
great work as always. i love ur videos. i just wanted to point out at14:05 the painting says confidencence which in this context means the intimate trust between best friend.
Breaks my heart to see something that once had life, had it taken from them to hang like ornament's on someones wall. Other than that I love your tour of this home and do not blame you for the sweet animals
So excited!! As always looks enchanting and a history lesson courtesy of Explomo on TH-cam ☺️👏❤️
Such a gorgeous gorgeous place thank you for giving us the tour! Gosh how could you not notice the wallpaper? It is stunning.
Amazing!! Again thank you for the wonderful video!!!
Loved the hand painted striped wall paper!
Me encanta como relatas, tu voz es tan relajante, y lo respetuoso que eres con las cosas, y no mostrando la fachada. Quedé impactada con esta mansión y me pregunto porqué dejarían botado algo así?? A lo mejor ya no hay herederos? Te felicito y saludos desde el ultimo lugar del mundo Santiago de Chile!! 🇨🇱 👍👍👍
Love. In the room with the beautiful red chairs, in the corner was a beautiful portrait of flamingos. I collect flamingos. Caught my attention. Thank You again for a great video.
I really love your accent.❤️🥰 I'm from Ohio,🇱🇷. No accent here unless your from another part of the states. I also love Art Deco.💕. It's interesting to see the things that other people once loved and cherished. I've read comments from others that this could be us leaving behind what we once loved.😢😔
Thank you again for sharing this video with us. It really helped me today
Felicitaciones maureno un lugar que he apreciado mucho y disfrutado con cada detalle.saludos
Fab explore such a lovely house so sad all those items have been left x
art deco watches with dogs are extremely valuable and amazing also
Hi Maureno and Remon, glad to see another wonderful video this evening, as always I enjoy all of your videos 💖
The woodwork is beautiful
Another great video and love the music! Thank you 😊
Once again thankyou so much such a beautiful explore,the efforts the risks you take to bring us the best of the past and how people lived and their personality 💖💖💖
You are wonderful. Thank you, Explomo!
What an amazing place.
Nice, true French Art Deco at its best! A real time capsule!
Absolutely amazing place and I loved this explore. That clock is so interesting. Thanks for another great video 😊
That room is amazingly beautiful 💞
Good morning explomo happy to be here with you on another wonderful exploration, love it ,love it 💞
