STORY
Join us on an exhilarating journey as we uncover the mysteries of an extraordinary abandoned site frozen in time for over 50 years. Nestled within nature's embrace, this stunning French mansion once belonged to Mister Jean Jacques, a humble yet remarkable figure in the town's history.
Venturing through the overgrown gardens reclaiming their space, we delve into the life of Mister Jacques and his bustling family of 11. Despite his prestigious role as the town's mayor, Jacques remained grounded, finding solace in pursuits like horseback riding and painting.
Inside the mansion, time stands still. The year 1969 marks the end of its inhabitation, leaving behind a pristine tableau of French elegance. Each room tells a story, adorned with untouched furniture and Jacques' own exquisite paintings, echoing the presence of a bygone era.
But what led to this abandonment? Why did no one return to reclaim this treasure trove of memories? These questions linger as we unravel the enigmatic tale of Mister Jacques and his family.
Embark with us on this mesmerizing journey into the enchanting world of Mister Jacques, where time holds its breath, and history whispers its secrets. 🏰🌿

I am German and learned french for 10 years and then I drove a lot to France and got accomondation in french private homes. I were always very astonished that these homes were very outmoded. I saw homes around the year 2000 which looked nearly like this house. My impression was that french people are not a fan of renovating. I know that there are existing today a lot of modern houses too, perhaps the young people today are different. But I think in France you can still find houses with those old furniture and wallpapers or even fabric at the walls. But here, I can´t understand that are 11 children and non of them would care about this house. Why they didn´t sell it and another one could care about this house? I don´t think that the house is very worth preserving, but a lot of inside.
Yeah, out of all those 11 children, not one wanted the house or the contents?! Incredible! They couldn't even get it together enough to sell it and split the proceeds? Can you imagine having 10 siblings?! Ai yai yai!
LOL I was thinking the same thing. It could be a matter of them being too far away, or a tax issue. It looks like some of the things have been removed. They may have gotten what they wanted from the house and left. It looks like some of the things were gone through, like the artwork on the sofa. They may have take a bunch of them and stood them up there and taken the pieces that gave them the most joy. Same with dishes, linens, and clothing. Some of the cupboards were empty.
Can't help but think.. There's a untold story here. And an explanation.
@@Jasmin23332 There must be.
The respect you show the former occupant's of these houses is touching . Love your channel and think you both do an extrodinary job .
I loved this! You have the BEST abandoned videos!!! As a painter myself, it was wonderful that you spent time with each piece of artwork. I was hoping you'd come across Jacque's paints and brushes. It would fascinate me to see them. But, it may be better that you didn’t, some of the paints of old are very toxic, with lead, uranium, arsenic, mercury, etc. They're made different now and we've lost some of the colors because it's often impossible to find a pigment that matches up with the original pigment. Sometimes, it wasn't the pigment, but the texture that was lost. The word you were close to finding was ingenious. And that case was alligator or crocodile leather. Sending love to you both from Reno, Nevada, USA. ❤❤❤
Local adminstration should turn it into a museum. This is absolutely breathtaking
Nobody would go here. What, 5minutes walk away museum? Such places are interesting only because they are abandoned.
I just love ALL of the French Mansions and Castles you guys do, can't wait! ❤from Maine, USA 🇺🇸
I always try to get a glimpse of patterns in hand made table and bed coverings, designs in wall paper and other fabrics, but most explorers rush by them. Just taking photographs of some of that and making separate videos on those would be inspiring. And of the furniture as well. Old furniture was more adapted to the body's actual proportions to make people enjoy sitting or resting on it. Modern furniture often considers mainly an aesthetic appeal.
Once again, you amaze the world with another extraordinary expedition. Don't know how you guys continue to do it, but we absolutely love what you do. Leslie and Danny, you two are the perfect duo, and we like how you work together. Keep doing what you're doing. You guys are the best!
@24:58 The kitchen may be old...but the buffet cabinet in the kitchen against the wall on the left side is positivity medieval! That cabinet is some of the first furniture ever made! The style the size the wood! Omg! The hardware for locking the doors is ancient. The front doors...panels are two separate pieces. The back wood is so rough, you can see the saw marks. Its a shame they (explorers)dont spend more time on the antique furniture. Sometimes the oldest rarest pieces are often overlooked by these guys because it isnt pretty enough or shiny enough. True history made by true artist and craftsmen of their time. The guys who made this furniture were rockstars in their time. Paid well and traveled with whole troops of apprentice's watching the masters at work. These explorers have a real opportunity to view some of the ratest and oldest wood furniture ever made, please ask them to pay more attention to the estate made furniture. Chests, buffets, armoires, doors, carving, moldings, wall treatments, etc...
You guys channel is the best!! wish you could tell more about these people and the backstory on why they're abandoned!!?? thank you for your respect and honor with the families!!!
You should take photos of the wallpaper prints to recreate them. That dragon print would be cool as a blanket.
32:25 wow the toys - always makes you wonder what happened that they left things behind. 41:29 the stroller is an amazing find
If he was the Mayor of the town, it would be best if the letters, newspapers, accounting books & such were collected and preserved in the library or given to local historians. I’m sure the man has passed away by now so I wonder who this property belongs to now? Thank you for sharing your explores with us. I love watching!
What's amazing is how the red curtains and bedding has remained so vibrant after all those years plus the exposure. I would like to know what they used for those.
Здравствуйте! по оттенку похоже на кармин (кошениль), стабилизирлванный оловом или алюминиевыми квасцами, возможно, что портьеры дополнительно были покрыты тонким слоем воска для дополнительной защиты от пыли и выгорания на солнце.
I don't understand why the county didn't save this or at least what's inside. Should be in a historical museum..sad..great find.💜
You two make a great team. Perfect narration and great camera work.
It baffles me how no siblings ever cared about all that family history left behind.
Thank you for our weekly treat. It is so sad watching all of these properties left to rot. I wonder why the Town didn't do anything to save the Mayor's house?
Hey!
Thank you for this incredible sharing!
I didn't expect this type of interior when I saw the facade. Everything is so old, from another age. It's paradoxical knowing that the house was inhabited until the end of the 60s. It's sad to see this house in this state. So many wonders inside just waiting to be restored and used. Thanks again for sharing! you are doing a great job!
It would be so great if you and Danny could get a show on the history channel. You guys do a wonderful job and I love the respect that you show.
I love the French style of architecture..furniture and Decor...they had exceptional taste...fantastic video gentlemen!!❤❤😊😊
As a person who restores furniture, my stomach hurts seeing all of the beautiful furniture wasting away.
Same
Me too. I do appreciate furniture so much. It is a pity.
Ikr
I don’t restore furniture but I love antiques and even I can see what hidden gems the furniture are man if I had money and wanted to leave australia ,I’d want to buy it
I feel the same way. A person doesn't want to steal from these homes. But I wish there was a way to b able to preserve all the beautiful furniture from all these homes. It's sad to see their beauty fade away just like these homes.
I so wish I could have seen this place back in the day when they were living in it. I will always love this channel. You are so very respectful as you are creating the videos.❤
Thanks for sharing your DNA results Lesley. I personally think you are 100% ADORABLE
What a lovely mansion! So many beautiful antiques in each and every room! I love the paintings and the family photos, in particular! Thank you,guys,for this great exploration!
There are so many ghostly places in France, the explorations are superb, really. Nice work!
I love how you don’t rush through these houses, allowing us to enjoy everything! Thank you
You bring back the past,very impressive
Lovely home but upstairs rooms is very confusing it all over, love the baby stroller very beautiful antique piece should be in the museum, this home must be beautiful back in the day, thank you for sharing
This mansion is wonderful! So sad it’s abandoned & decaying! Love video & you guy’s! ❤️🤘👍
You are my favourite explorers of the abandoned spaces of the world. I really appreciate how you research the sites and pay attention to the finer details. Not to mention the incredible quality of the photography, truly exquisite.
What always amazes me is just what you point out in many of your home explorations, the question of why the children or other remaining family seem to have completely ignored the place where I presume they had so many great memories of growing up. As well, the property has actual value as a piece of real estate. Baffling.
I just wish I had a bazillion dollars to my name. I'd love to take this property and restore it lovingly, preserving as many of it's contents as I could. In some of the older estates there are documents dating back hundreds of years which I'm sure must be of interest to historians.
Спасибо! Очень интересно! Уже просмотрела несколько ваших роликов. В восторге от зданий,мебели,посуды,картин...и много чего еще.Удачи вам ребята! Жаль ,что это все гниет!
YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! FINALLY!!! Someone wearing GLOVES!!!!!! 🙏🏾.. beautiful house!!! X🏴🇬🇧
Good video. I love the Red and white room with the heaven beds.
Mulțumesc pentru vizita în căminele altora,ai un mare talent ca ghid și îmi place să te urmaresc
excited for another Mansion! watching from North Carolina USA
I think about the furniture that would be beautiful cleaned or reapolsted. Many are probably worth a lot
North Carolina here!
I was lying down watching and your voice put me to sleep Lesley. now i have to back it up and watch again. :-)
Your videos are always so enjoyable to.watch . Your love for the owners and respect for the home shows everytime. Thank you for sharing this history lesson .
Can't wait to see this one 😻🎉. I will have to watch the replay.
Excellent video 📸 love the pictures and the painting. So sad that no one restored it and make it a museum.
Thank you, Lesley ❤️
What a beautiful piece of history! Im so pleasrdyou gents go around the world doing this in a very romantic, respectful and courteous way❤ Bravo, see you on the next one👍🙏🙏☺️
I dont see these houses as "abandoned" .. the former owners, who have 'left this world' .. are still around as consciousness lives on.. and thats why your respect is so admirable .
I love the explorations that you & Danny do.
I loved this exploration! I am humbled that you invite us along each week to such amazing adventures. The leather beverage bag is called a bota bag. I am not certain but there may still be a couple in my basement. Until next week? Hugs.
You do a great job with these videos. It is a joy to watch them. keep up the good work and stay safe in those old houses.
This one is amazing!!! Wow 50+ years. Especially the history and art pieces of his. Oh how someone in the town should preserve this for this town. Y'all did a great job. Yes I'm from Georgia USA...y'all 😉 thank you guys!! 😘
This one is going to be awesome can't wait hugs and much love from Maine.
The newspaper in the first room was 1954, I was born in 64,lol... hitting the big 60 at the end of May, which is blowing my mind..lol I always enjoy your journey through history. You can tell you enjoy what you do, respectful to the furnishings and the family that lives there. Another well-done video. You can tell it was the 60's, love the dragon, lol I have one that'd on my back in a tear drop..lol that briefcase looks like crocodile skin to me.The newspaper was skirts for ladies, the last picture had a bustle on the back( the fashion of the times).
I believe someone was sick for a while due to the bundle of mail.
Love the maps of cathedrals. I was curious ,with the drawings of the church ,if that church could be seen from any of the windows?
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for taking us with you. Hi from Canada 🇨🇦
hello Beth here, love your show, i watch every weekend, you guys are awesome.
J'ai vraiment adoré votre vidéo, vous avez trouvé un lieu on ne peut pas plus authentique 👍👍👏👏🧡🧡
Thank you. You and Danny are the best!
Whenever you show the plastered newspaper behind the wallpaper, I am always so curious about what kind of news are written on it, orr at least, what dates they are from. Please consider looking into that.
Thank you guys. I'm always so happy to see a new vid come out!
Thanks to Danny and lesly.. ❤❤❤
Love watching thanks for sharing from NYC😊
You guys are the best thank you!
Great find! Thank uou guys ❤
You host the show very well.When you tell the story of the home owners it makes me feel as if they live in that place. Your knowledge is very good.
Another great exploration, thank you for taking us around the world.
Hey dear Lesley I just had to rewatch this fascinating explore you did together with Danny in that for a long time abandoned French mansion. - Also your introduction was very interesting to read and to listen. Danny did an excellent job with his camera, and I also loved the beautiful background music. - Despite a lot of very heavy decay traces the rooms still were so beautiful to see with all that antique furniture and many paintings. They had a legit time capsule vibe. - I also liked the bedroom with the four poster bed the most with the red colour. And this curtain decor above the double beds in the other bedroom provided it with a certain elegant touch. - This music notebook from Beethoven you found, were a collection of his so called "Bagatellen", which are smaller but intriguingly beautiful pieces for piano. I also used to play some if these.
Wonderful explore, bro! I am already looking forward to your next explore adventure. - Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland.
Çok etkileyiciydi. Sizi ve o evin sahiplerini tanımıyorum ancak ev çok güzel döşenmiş. İzlerken o evde bir zamanlar birilerinin yasadığını hayal etmek muhteşem güzel bir duyguydu. Teşekkürler 🙂👋
Hi leslei e Dani !! Esperando.. no Brasil abraços ❤
Thank you for your video😊
A great video with all particular details. Great job and you have so much respect where you go!!
Great video guys ❤
Hi Lesley & Danny,😉Wow Abandoned Mansion in France from Oct. 1969 & they Had 11 Children!!

Herşey bıraktığı gibi duruyor çok etkileyici😢 nerdeler acaba
I wonder how a family of 11 children could go without someone wanting this beautiful home and their things
Hi, Lesley and thank you so much. What a gem of a place, some of the things in there were exquisite! Thanks also to the camera man, Danny!
Witam uwielbiam takie domy z dusza,a jeszcze jak sa w srodku takie śliczne mebelki bardzo lubie antuko o szkoda ze nie moga znaleźć gdzies miejsce w muzeum dla potomnych coraz mniej juz takich mebli pozdrawiam serdecznie lubie was ogladac jak czas pozwala trzymajcie się chłopaki 💚👍❤️🇵🇱
a life lived.....thank you boys
Talking about family, I'm very mixed, but my uncle did it the old fashion way, which I prefer, by tracing our roots and family tree. I know I'm English, German, French, Irish, Spanish from Spain, who an English relative in the eithteen hundreds married a beautiful woman from Spain that he fell crazy in love with, and got disowned by his family. So I'm really mixed, A LOT. My dad's side is French-Canadian, and that's about as far as we know from him, since we only traced my moms side.
I watch all your videos, rarely comment, but I've always loved all things old from those long centuries ago, it intrigues me so much! Thank you for your videos that take me to the past.
Emotivo ,video ,gracias chicos ,como siempre tan respetuosos en lo abandonado . Leslie !!! Te veras lindo llevando un cochecito con tu hijo algun dia .... No muy lejano !!! 👍🥰🇨🇱
The "dragon" wallpaper is a Royal Lion....yes that's alligator hide briefcase. Ingenious clock/pipe
Thanks!
Don't forget that the people last living in the house, and leaving newspapers unopened, mail, and framed artwork and prints on the wall, plus cabinets filled with bedding, kitchen and tableware, trinkets and toys, etc., may NOT have been the related to the original owners!
They may have been renters or even squatters (if the house was abandoned).
Oie Dani,não falo ingles mas queria dizer em português do Brasil que amo os vídeos que você e o Leslie mostram para nós.Fico muito emocionada ao ver como retratam esses ambientes abandonados com tanto carinho! ❤❤❤Obrigada.❤
I want the furniture!!!❤️ AND THE WALLPAPER!!!! And the doors!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

At 23.57 the red ,black and white modern painting is by avant guard Greek artist Thanos Tsingos 1914-1965
Hola me encanta todos tus videos . Los felicito .buen trabajo . Saludo desde Venezuela
I will see the video tomorrow. Today it was busy day ❤😊👍
This is another home that is not comming back. How can a home like this just go to ruin. This man was the mayor and after he died his people had nothing to do with him anymore. I hope he had a happy life. We will never know. Very sad to see. Thanks again Leslie and Danny You both did well.Stay safe and I will wait to see what you have next to show us.
Thank you.💋from Croatia.Makarska taun.
