Mister Jean-Louise…
A descendant from the Depont family that have been living in this picturesque French town since the beginning of the 16th century. The family Depont still resides in the town but Jean-Louis passed away around a decade ago, however, nobody seems to care about the belonging and memories that he left behind. Many people around town speculate that it is due to the chocking and dark display of taxidermy animals that can be seen throughout the house. Mister Jean-Louis started becoming obsessed with hunting after his wife passed away, and his children moved out, he was a very secluded person and could mostly be found inside his home or in the nearby Forrest. His house is a reflection of him and tells a much deeper story than we would have ever expected when we first walked inside.
Let’s go through what remains and let’s put the pieces of the puzzle back together.

Hi Leslie & crew. Recently discovered your channel. Now I can't stop binge watching. As someone who reads quite a lot of nonfiction on time periods you are entering I wanted to mention that it was quite normal for the children to be raised by a governess or nanny. This may explain the small, barren rooms you find throughout these homes. And it was also common that after dinner the men and women would separate. The men for smoking and drinking, men subject conversation. The women for tea, afterwards they would meet up for entertainment, music, piano or solo singing.
Heyy dear Lesley, how are you doing my friend?! - Wow, that's again an absolutely fascinating mansion you found in France. I am
completely amazed by the craftmanship of the furniture with the intricate carvings. Although the main living room is holding
beautiful furniture, I also find the display of the taxidermy animals very disturbing to see, - but that is something, you find from
time to time in houses of rich people and in castles. When you were showing the menu card I found behind you on the marble top
of the cabinet a beautiful vase manufactured in cameo glass, - from the art nouveau period. And - the huge mirror has a typical art
deco shaped frame. Absolutely beautiful!! - Wow, - and the clock with the lady and the peacock on the chimney mantlepiece
together with the two matching side urns is after my opinion a legit masterpiece of the art deco period. As far as I could see
the lady statue is made probably of bronze and ivory in combination, called "chryselephantine". The most famous artist of the
early 20-th century, who made overwhelminmgly beautiful masterpieces of statues in this techniqe, was Demetre Chiparus,
who was born in Romania and mainly worked in Paris. - I presume, that set is alone a fortune worth! So amazing to see!
Also this lamp on the ceiling of the hallway is pure art deco. - Every room was a surprise of its own!! So many smaller antiques
standing on the mantlepieces and in beautifully carved display cabinets,... and so on. - In one bedroom there was a corner shelf with very
different items, and I saw two typical tin wind up toy figures from the german toy company "Schuco", presumably from
the prewar period. - But on the other hand there was one rather disturbing detail visible: a turned down crucifix over a bed! - Actually
a very sinister sight! - And -then again I also loved that beautifully furnished living room with th red art deco armchairs and
an absolutely amazing amount of different antiques everywhere visible in this room. - The beautiful velvet curtains add ideally
to the rich and elegant atmosphere of this room.
Walking in mind together with you through all these rooms really made my heart jump! I was nearly speechless to see so many
well preserved antiques from different art historical periods. Absolutely overwhelming! - This is after my opinion one of your
best and most spectacular explores you were doing in France, - a true time capsule in partially museal quality, which should
by all means be preserved.
Thank you so much for taking us on tour through such an exceptionally beautiful mansion. - Wishing you still a lot more fun
together with Maureno in the USA. Stay safe and many hugs, my dear friend and bro! - God bless you all! - Peace and kindest regards!
Vc entende mesmo de Arte. Parabéns.
There was another upside down crucifix in the second bedroom, I think. It was a white piece that was on top of the cabinet, on the right hand side of the bed.
That thing that was on the kitchen table. How could you eat watching that thing? I couldn't eat anything watching all of that stuff.
The furniture is beautiful!
the animal trophys for younger people today may find it hard to understand,but hunting was how people fed themselves decades and centuries ago.Its the history of the people and their homes and shouldnt be shyed away from.You make these documentaries very interesting and i can see how much you love history as we all should .I think there may be a time we see a majour tv station sponsoring a new series ,but make sure you are the presentor.Leslie .ps you inspired me to spell my name with a ey as i had untill reaching an older age.
THESE ANIMALS WERE NOT HUNTED FOR “FOOD” OK!
How did the last person to leave the piano room leave... the door was locked AND furniture was awkwardly barricaded against the door? Did they hop out of the window too?
Thank you I thought I was the only person that saw that as very strange
That’s funny, probably they did the same thing this guy did to get inside...use the window. They most likely barricaded the door because they wanted to go back in & finish taking items which they deemed sellable. I’m sure tons of stuff was stolen from that house.
They never left
Hi Lesley hope your well ,looks like another great find we all appreciate your dedication,much love Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️
Your or you're?
Hey Ann, I am doing Oke, I had a very tough week, lots of things happened but I am coping with it, will be better soon again. Lovely to hear that you enjoyed the video, more amazing ones are to come very soon! :)
Hi Ann! What happened to Lesley? 🤔
The workmanship in furniture always amazes me ,how clever people was way back an they didn’t have machines,beautiful home lv Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧✋✋✋
Hi Ann Smith, I was also completely overwhelmed by the beauty of this mansion holding so incredibly many
valuable antiques (except the taxidermy animals, which I also don't like to see! ).
I hope, you are well. So I wish you from my deepest heart all the best, peace and kindest regards from sunny Switzerland.
Hi Ann how are you doing? Greetings from Alabama
I friggin love your channel! Never miss an episode. You pick the best houses.
Seriously? Nobody noticed the upside down cross above the bed in that room? 27:15. How do you miss that? There is another upside down cross on the nightstand here as well. 39:52.
That is the emblem of St Peter the Apostle who was condemned to crucifixion and asked to be crucified upside down because he felt unworthy.
None of this S#!+ is NORMAL...its JUST...Normalization and Brainwashing on display here and added comments for enhancement........WE SEE YOU..Mark Atwood.
@@vivianavian6287 😂😂😂 Go Vivi....with your Bullsh!+ SpeLlCasting😂😂😂 You DEFEND what YOU PROTECT ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ ✝ We Gotcha🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I noticed that. 👍
Kind of goes with all the creepy animal stuff.
The man with the cat in his beard in the photo is Louis Coulon! His beard was 11,' and he posed for many postcards. I wonder if that's just one of his postcards or if he was known to the homeowners.
I truly enjoy your channel. You have a wonderful way of bringing history to light. I also wanted to thank you for being respectful and caring with the properties that you explore.
The places often remind me of my childhood memories. (Of grandparents and neighbors so much I'm glad to experienced in life and now with you.
So much hidden Beauty in this world presented by you in such a beautiful way with such lovely music in the background thank you so much. ❤
Interesting he isn't familiar with music boxes, they're common here in the US. Love this channel!
I noticed they updated a few things during the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods.
It seems rather disturbing there were dead bolt locks on the dining,piano room you entered from the outside. It had no taxidermy and seemed normal. The whole house makes one wonder why the children never returned to claim the house.
They were probably dead and stuffed somewhere.
This is beautiful. Love the red room. The children most likely had to take Piano lessons. Obviously the man had a hobby of taxidermy. The home is not trashed! The nail or whatever that held the cross correctly probably fell out. Glad there didn’t hoard. Very neat in the cupboards. Horse pull toys.
I love the fascination in your voice.
That makes me, be even more fascinated 😂
That a badger is kind of creepy! but the "Drawer" is called a music box...one of my favorite collections.
Hi Leslie, just love your videos
This mansion got many interesting antique things, lot of money of the person in this place, it’s really sad to see no one are interested to keep its alive, sad to see it’s got abandoned, thank you for sharing
WOW! the scenery at the beginning is so delightful
That attic is awesome !
Hey Lesley! How are you? You are my favorite explorer. I love your videos, always awesome! 👏😍🇧🇷
You always find great places to explore. Great job my friend , you always tell a great storyline
This house is beautiful thank's again Leslie love alberta canada
Well I only just about half way through and a few things have jumped out. The door locked but table and chair behind it seems strange to me and in the man's bedroom the upside-down cross over the bed. Wonderful find I hope one day it can become a home again.
Another upside down cross. Do you feel anything off in some of these place's? Like when the cupboard opened did you feel anything around you ?
So beautiful. I hope someone can enjoy it again. It should be lived in and loved. It It precious !
Lesley, congrats. for doing these videos for eight years. I think I have been a subscriber for five. This house has a very beautiful interior in some areas but the animal displays and upside down crosses was very disturbing.
Hi guys thanks for showing me this video of the beautiful mansion with everything left behind must of been a beautiful place for at one time David 🇬🇧🙏❤️👍
Hey Leslie. The "washing bear" is a badger
Never been to France this is my first time. Lol
Fascinating and interesting home. Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey
The room with the music box had the crucifix hanging upside down over the bed about 35 minutes!!!
Merci pour cette belle visite. Je vois que tu lis le français plutôt bien 🙂 bravo 😊
This house! Wow!! I love your videos! Thank you for what you do!
Wonderful see all these vídeos!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Je ne me lasse pas de ces ballades..j habite en France..je ne connais nul part ces endroits...mercii
Una casa muy entera aún sin humedades y un atico en buenas condiciones.
Saludos desde México.
tres jolie maisons pleins de souvenirs féminin et masculin,, et bien décorée
You are really 😄 funny ! I think besides looking at these old homesteads I keep tuning in for your explanations😂😂😂
The think you pointed out for water at night is a Urn😉It’s used for ashes of dead people 😉
Hi Lesley. Beautiful mansion and furniture and china .I don’t like the stuffed animals display. Did you see the upside down cross on top of the bed. It’s creepy Great video stay safe. 👍❤️👏
disturbing and very neat, made me feel like there was something not right about the man!
Thanks again Lesley for another fascinating video.❤️
Did you notice the upside down crucifix over the bed in the bedroom with the statue of the boy and goat?
This one was very fun Leslie. Thanks 😊
Hi lesley! Keep safe always. And iloved your dedication to explore and find a place that very special and interesting.. ❤️
The painting of the flamingos😍😍😍😍😍
I would love to buy anyone of the places you explore and bring it back to life with love and beauty.❣️
Seus vídeos são incríveis. Parabéns.
Wow..amazing house..thanks for showing us.🍀
Beautiful looking beautiful explore👍 keep it up🤜
Watched this last night. I am wondering the vibes you got from this house. There is evidence of evil doings.... the hanging foxes, the many naked statues, the upside-down crucifix over the bed, and most of all, the secret room in the attic bodes ominous. Also the fact that the house was left virtually untouched by the children, a sign that they don't want anything to do with it anymore, or the stuff their parents owned. My intuition kicked in on this one.
I totally agree!!! I got horrible vibes about child abuse. So many representations of naked kids, the inverted crucifixes and that last room upstairs in the attic.
For real.👍🏻
What a fascinating home,I have seen it before but forgot how beautiful it was,the stuffed animals wernt but I expect it in france
A move in ready home, nice. Needs a new roof though.
Beautiful home you can still live in it
All the taxidermy animals were creepy. But I enjoyed the rest of the tour.
Leslie - my birthday is also in July, on the 11th. But I am old enough to be your grandmother. Lol. When is your birthday?
I love your voice and accent and your pronouncement of many words. I am from Georgia USA.
Awesome video thanks 👍
That house is so 1940's with a lot of art deco pieces. I even saw bakelite handles on one of the sideboards.
Beautiful 🤩
Hermosa casa! En excelente estado. Me enamoré del ático y de la habitación de madera.
Hello Leslie
That blue nob is a warlock’s ceptor/rod!(lol, maybe people were afraid of the poor guy) 23:52
Hello Lesley!i really love your vlog,why Danny is not with you? watching from the Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
GRACIAS TUS VIDEOS SON FANTASTICOS
The decay is so minimal that it leads me to believe this house was lived in until about 2 decades ago, maybe less because of the shoe boxes and the particularly the "Mephisto" shoe brand which I personally know debut in early 1980s.
At 30:16 looking into the armoire, are those several boxes of Il de France puzzles stacked on the upper shelf?
It would be interesting to know their publication date bc the font is very modern. So many questionable artifact dates and it looks like a museum left in this arrangement for private tours. This house is at least being guarded and maintained.
So far, this may be my favorite of your explorations, but to be fair, I am new to your channel so I have a lot to catch up on!
Thank you, Leslie, for the GREAT content!
I noticed the new shoes as well. The house is 1940's but the shoes are priced in euros. That was early 1990's?
@@shirleyshirley4188 I looked up Mephisto shoes because I've known the brand for decades and they established in 1984, so anytime after is VERY recent! As I suspected, this house has not been abandoned for very long and I wonder how it has not been looted. I believe it has surveillance and is used to draw specialty tourism.
Maravilloso Lesley una emociónante exploración.....muy bien conservado todo una gran cápsula de tiempo..... saludos desde Monterrey México 👍
amazing 🫡👍🏾
Omg 😱!! I lovet!!
Amazing house, just subscribed, great channel
Definitely the era when you hunt, dispatch the animal using every part of the meat. Last you'd preserve/taxidermy the animal for the art and honor of the animals, to remind us that we are blessed.
That house is amazing. Why people don't buy it and live there?? Not much to restore. Looks like he built his daught a doll house place to play in the attic.
تحيه طيبه لك من العراق نحن نتابعك باستمرار نتمنا لك الموفقيه في عملك والنجاح
It’s an upright piano not a grand piano!
3 pieces of Satsuma on the piano-the middle piece with the lid is an incense burner-
Why don't people sell or give away such beautiful things? What a waste. Very sad to see. You can't take it with you.
You would think his relatives would have taken all the taxidermy animals and burned them and at least sold the very expensive antiques and maybe even the house before it came to this point of decay. I just do not understand people; so much needless waste.
People smoked in their beds, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen... even while cooking!
The number of religious pieces in the home makes the upside down crucifixes very disturbing.
👋
τι ωραιο αρχοντικο!!!
Why are the crosses upside down?
How do you think, most of those objects and artefacts could be sold out at a flea markets, antiques ships etc. And it’s just sitting there comming to decay. I wonder if old objects that are sold out on the market come from the same abandoned places?
Is that an upside down cross over his bed
I like all of the stuffed animals. Taxidermy is not a desecration of animals, but designed to honor them. We get to see real animals up close that most of us would only see pictures of. I like that they have been captured in active poses. I still have the mounted deer antlers and a beautiful trout fish my father had taxidermied.
those two upside down crosses in the bedrooms are very disturbing. I hope they just fell like that and were not placed that way. If they were placed that way, it's a satanic symbol...!
So beautiful! But I don't like the pain of those animals.
Hi Lesley,me encantan tus exploraciones,pero no se pueden activar los subtítulos en español,es muy básico mí inglés,!!!
show out the windows , the views must be grand.
Luckily, this place is saved, but unfortunately it lost it's character...
why is the cross upside down over the bed?
He had beautiful furniture and home.
Que linda casa..
Não entendo o abandono.
That badger standing in the sitting room looks like it might be an umbrella stand.
I love this house! I’m surprised that the family didn’t move in, people are usually in need of money, by necessity or greed, so the relatives are missing out on this house, and..maybe his money? Was he a rapist, serial killer, pedophile, war criminal? Only a thing like that might stop someone, what a waste! 20:22
The first thing I would do is dig a big hole and put these poor animals at rest . Living things deserve dignity to .
Hi Bill 😎
Leslie , guys manneken pis 😄⚘🇨🇱
Hey Lesley, Interesting explore, indeed! Your question at 29:10; yes, too many people smoked, and still smoke, in the bedroom, even in the bed. One source in the USA reports 311deaths from fires started by smoking in bed in 2022 already, more than 100 per month. (Joint Base San Antonio. US Department of Defense)
Hello Douglas 🥺❤️
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in the twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you're no longer accumulating but withdrawing, it's hard to be anything but cautious.
Some investors look to their investments as a source of income while others use it as a means to grow or preserve their wealth.
For now, investors getting started can feel overwhelming. Risk loom large and complicated, unfamiliar financial jargons can be intimidating.
@@kristyluna8527 Apparently that's true, I agree. It is mostly disastrous for newbies or anyone who doesn't adhere to a well thought-out strategy and over all, a professional broker.
@Richard Perkins Being trying to get started, but i end up loosing out. Do you have a professional broker???
Wow, I'm just shocked someone mentioned and recommended expert Mrs Diana Lynne Bobka.
I thought people don't really know her.
I invested £ 2,000 with Mrs Diana Lynne Bobka after i met her at a conference in London, she made me profit of £ 11,790 in just 7- 14 days of trading with her and i invested more.
The wounded energy of the animals is very disturbing
Indeed, there's a very sadistic vibe to it. 🥺
Yes I agree very bad energy 😔
I also agree, but that was how it was back in the days. Good work Leslie!
I agree!! I’m not a fan at all of animals all over the house. For me this is evil, not peaceful. So I’m not watching further
😭😭😭😭😭cry a river Karen, stuffed animals are great!
What a beautiful time capsule,the antique furniture are amazing but I don't like stuffed animals.It's hard to see this and it hurts so much😭I will never understand why people shoot animals just for fun,it's disrespectful to the animals to stuff them and then display them as decorations or furniture like this.It's cruel!!!So thank for the video.Have nice weekend!
I agree with you completely ... I hope Monsieur Jean Louis suffered when it was his time to go ...
I'm fascinated by the wallpaper in this house. On first impression, the designs look 1930's but I've not seen so many as striking as these geometric/floral prints. The one in the hallway and the up the staircase was very bold, almost as if it was designed in Minecraft, haha.
Maybe, they are specifically French and somewhat niche; definitely Art Deco!
