STORY
Hidden in plain sight behind a bustling road, we discovered an abandoned French manor. For over a decade, its secrets have remained concealed, but today, we are here to reveal them. This manor was once the home of Jacques and Jacqueline, a renowned architect couple who designed and built it themselves with great pride. Their son, Xavier, grew up to become a well-renowned painter. Xavier didn't follow in his father's footsteps, but he was equally ambitious in a different field. His paintings are considered masterpieces, and his creativity was unmatched. In 2010, Xavier and his wife mysteriously vanished, leaving behind their home and all its contents. What happened to them? Why did they abandon their beloved manor? Nobody in the neighborhood seems to know what happened to Xavier and his wife. Some say they simply moved away, but others believe they may have met with foul play. The manor has become a source of fascination and speculation, with many rumors circulating about its secrets. Join us on this adventure as we uncover the fate of the family who once called this place home. Is the manor haunted by their spirits? Or is there a more sinister explanation for their disappearance?

What a beautiful house filled with so many amazing details. Loved the paintings, the chairs and the bed with the floral fabric. Stunning. Wonder what happened to the couple and their children. The photos show so many cherished memories from the couple and their family.

How is trespassing on private property and filming there and publishing the video to make money out of it without authorisation freaking respectful? Being respectful would be staying out of there.

I love watching the Bros of decay They are two of the best! You are entitled to your opinion. The ones that go in breaking windows, poking holes in walls, shattering mirrors, and spraying graffiti and writing obscenities are the ones destroying and doing harm. I stand by my comment and love watching my favorite team of explorers that go to places we would never see and even telling the history of the places are to be commended and many thanks for allowing me to see places that I will never get to go. Since being diagnosed with a brain disease that has affected my ability to walk and causes dizziness so bad that I fall when I try to get up on my own. Was taken to ER 2 weeks ago covered in so much blood that the ambulance crew asked that I be taken straight to a room. My hair was soaked in so much blood and my gown was soaked to the point it had to be thrown in biohazard waste. I am so limited in what I can do so I watch the BOD Videos as they explore some beautiful places,castles,palaces and very beautiful abandoned homes and they do get permission to explore when they can and that’s also how they learn the history of the places they explore. They never take items with them and are very careful in all of their explorations not to cause harm or damage to the properties they explore. I say keep up the good work guys and I look forward to many more of their adventures. Love them❣️❤️❤️❤️

So many questions! You guys need a professional researcher to dig deeper. Is anyone still paying rates. Were the people reported missing , maybe they are in witness protection! Or living on an island after being shipwrecked. Did they take the dog? They must have had relatives somewhere. After 10 years someone must inherit the property.😊

Hey dear Lesley Thank you so much for sharing this absolutely fascinating revisit in that still quite intact beautiful abandoned French manor house. I loved listening to the dialogue you had with your excellent camera man Danny. Sometimes he saw something interesting, where he could draw your attention to it. I especially loved the explore tour through that remarkably beautiful living room and also the dining room with really stylish antique furniture and smaller antiques on the tables and side boards. - Very beautiful paintings were throughout the place visible. Wow, the former owner was really a truly talented artist. - Also all these photographs showing life moments of the former owners frozen in time, were so touching and remarkable to see. - I always love seeing you, dear Lesley, pointing out surprising and interesting objects. You really have such a good eye for details, bro! Amazing! Stay safe and take care. Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from now again quite sunny Switzerland.

So much we don’t know. France is truly a mystery. Just hope that thieves don’t ever discover this time piece. Truly humbling.

Wonderful presentation, thanks for sharing. I'm going to take a guess and say this is a 3 generation manor house. Generation #1 & #2 lived and died in the house and generation #3 lived there for a while then decided their inheritance was better spent travelling the world by sailboat than restoring the property. They just seem like the adventurous types.

That dusty piano was made by the finest piano company in the world, Erard of Paris . They were the equivalent of today's Steinway and Bosendorfer pianos. They are still sought after. Google says: Erard pianos earned the devotion of many well-known players, including Liszt and Mendelssohn. Although Chopin preferred Parisian rival Pleyel's pianos, he nevertheless acknowledged the beauty of the Erards and admired their consistency in touch and sound.
