Hidden deep within the rural farmlands of western France, we uncover a long-forgotten château — its history spanning over 600 years. The estate was once home to noblemen and naval commanders, and even served as a women’s convent between the 1600s and 1700s.
But today? Nature has taken hold.
We fight our way through overgrown paths to discover rooms frozen in time: a grand piano still standing, handwritten letters scattered in drawers, and traces of a family that once tried to save it from decay.
From the legacy of a Canadian-born war hero and explorer, to a local dairy cooperative led by its final lord, Lucien — every room is a reminder of his ambition, downfall, and forgotten dreams.
Come with us as we explore:
🏰 A centuries-old French château lost in the woods
🕰️ Generations of history hidden in decaying hallways
🧾 Letters, portraits, and clues that piece together a vanished life
💔 An attempted renovation — abandoned before it even began

Not a baby bath tub do your research.
Maureno, I thought you were studying to become a Doctor, is that not the dream anymore. I always want to start cleaning in your videos. 😂😂
That poor old beautiful house,such a shame😢
That poor piano what a waste
Inheritance tax is wrong on so many levels! It should not exist.
Those cars hidden in tall weeds, grass and ivy are crazy! Soon those will be proper hills and no one will know there are cars under them! Some of those rooms looked lived in still, as if very recently someone left. But it looked like a hoarder once was there and the younger person remaining just tossed much outside and in some of the rooms to make it more livable. There seems to be lots of stories here. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
This castle reminds me that it could be haunted,
After watching this video I now see that all riches is vanity.
那他應該有後代子孫、他們應該要好好修復、保護他們的祖先的房子（城堡）不是讓房子變成廢墟鬼屋、這在台灣是不可能的、一大片土地可以開發成新的房子、可以賣給人居住、太可惜了。
I love that you show us the history of these beautiful properties
I would assume the top floor was for the servants.
Please stop the slooooow taaaalking explaaaaining the stooooory. Great video's but that bit is always so so so annoying. Just use your normal speaking voice.
Looks like 3 suites because of 3 kitchens
Que pasada
We collect so much during life but we take none with us when we leave this world. All hard works turn into debris. Sedih!
I like the video, but the 'baby bath tub" is really a Bidet & it probably had a lid at one time.
How beautiful! 46:09 I WANT that amazing table!! ❤❤❤
Good Job 👍
لكن قبل 600عام لايوجد سيارات في العالم
I'm just curious why the castle is abandoned. Does it belong to someone now? Why isn't it being restored and put to use?
این کجاش ۶۰۰ سال قبله؟
wow thank you its in credibel
So sad ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Avrupada o kadar çok terkedilmiş malikâne var niye kanunları değiştirip yüksek miras vergisi alacaklarına tarihi korumayı seçmiyorlar? Çok fazla tarihi eser olduğu için mi?
Evlerin bu halde yalnız ve çökmüş olması çok üzücü.
Breaks my heart here in Canada, makes me want to win the lottery and move back to France and start fixing some of these beautiful places up. It doesn't feel like home here anymore , might as well be a stranger in my actual Homeland.
Que belleza todo lo que hay dentro. Que lastima 😢 el abandono . Porque no un museo…en fin..gracias por tus descubrimienntos.😊
Is that a picasso on the wall
Many spirit in that castle
Столько много антиквариата в этом замке , на тот свет никто собой ничего не заберет , пришли ни с чем и уйдем ни с чем
