oh bugger! I somehow lost my comment, midway!! Here's attempt #2. I can write with ease as i'm doing it fr my laptop. There's no way I could EVER type this from a phone. 🤫 I know from your past comments, you warmly invite your subscribers to share thoughts & ask questions, so I feel comfortable doing so. wow. This little chateau is a treat! The deep pink tufted-velvet, curved bed head & footboard was stunningly beautiful & French. I have seen similar antique ones priced at $4500 US dollars. I'd take that bed and the pink bedcovering and the large oval framed floral and be happy! I'd also want the velvet chairs from the red room & maybe do them in a pretty lavender-blue if the red clashed. All the velvets on the other beds & chairs colors were equally beautiful. However, the one wallpaper leaving me dumbstruck was the one w/ the peacock/floral motif. (insert bug-eye emoji) in the red room. Could you (or anyone else) tell if the pieces falling down were paper or fabric? I'd take that pink velvet bed & bed cover, have it all professionally deep cleaned & then I'd do my walls in the peacock floral!! Happy camper! That blue and white wallpaper with small repeated pastoral scenes was a quintessentially French design called Toile de Jouy, sounded out twall de jwee. It comes in amazing different motifs, different colors. The scenes usually convey a theme depicting subjects: the 4 seasons, french country/pastoral life, hunting, etc. Do a google search of Toile de Jouy & click (google) "images" and you will see the infinite variety. It's still a well-loved design motif and manufactured today in wall papers & fabrics for home decor, clothing & accessories. The framed lady you asked about looks to be a type of needlepoint called petit-point (sounds like petty point) embroidery. It was a tradition for young French girls to learn this skill and continue with it into later years. They would needlepoint portraits, chair covers, framed pieces for the wall, table-top fireplace screens to protect the face, even floor rugs. It was sad the way the owner's dream restoration is being lost to the elements. Jeremy, There is something I want to send you which will be of immeasurable value to your work. How can we arrange this? Thank you for another thoughtful explore!! pam

What a beautiful, old home! I watch videos of old, abandoned houses all the time, but this one just made me feel some sort of way. I guess a little bit sad for the old fellow that owned it. It's a shame that his children have allowed their parents dream home to go to ruins, but it sure is beautiful. Great video!!!

To be so self absorbed and greedy are the children that they can't just say, "You take the home,' instead of leaving it to decay. Now no one will benefit from the mansion or continue to keep the home up in their parents' memories.

They didn't become that way in a vacuum. No idea what the problem is but parents have something to do with who their adult children become. Something as simple as too much focus on the house and not enough on the kids seems like it could prompt people to fight over the thing that was more valuable than they were. It's gorgeous, and clearly it came at a price.

We were brought up into a very unhealthy lifestyle it still hurts to remember trying to be a kid and growing up at the same time. Some parents hold very deep secret till they die that only the surviving kids can testify about it or choose to remain quiet. My best bet they choose to stay quiet cause remembering bring so much pain. But to each their own.

The way you spoke about the gentleman that lived there was very touching. People are so selfish , to let something so beautiful go to ruin is a shame. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for being so respectful of these old spaces. We need more explorers out there like you ❤

What a gorgeous home. I remember two local sisters who refused to compromise on the price of their parents home. One wanted out, the other thought it was worth more than it was. It was starting to fall into decay and we were willing to buy it and fix it. We made an offer, the realtor said she would not take the offer to the daughters as it was insulting so she thought. We found something else much better right away, cheaper with more and prettier land. It had better bones. We rehabbed that home and retired to it. The home the daughters could not agree upon still sits more than 15 years later. No one bought it and its just rotting away. Its worth little or nothing now. Mother Nature is claiming it now sadly. It would be so costly to do anything with it today. So sad two siblings cant get it together.

I don’t know how many children the owner had but if they could have all pitched in, they could have saved this lovely home and perhaps lived in it as one large family. There certainly would have been enough bedrooms and living spaces to accommodate many people. I used to watch shows like yours and stopped for awhile as no-one was that good at this until I stumbled on your videos. You are better at exploration than most who do this. Thank you for renewing my interest in these sadly nearly forgotten places. I am now subscribed and am playing catch up with your videos.

And now the kids really have nothing to argue over; the home except for a few items is worthless.

What an infinite sadness to see this house so degraded by time, by thieves and vandals. Maybe the children didn't deserve it since they waged a legal battle to divide the inheritance.

My favorite part of the whole house was the balcony and the view from it....The man who owned the house seemed like a nice guy.

hi guys! I;m a little later for the party. 😁 Now, THIS is a home of exquisite taste. The place reflected owner's affiliation with the Orient, in the embroidered silks and special wallpapers. How disappointing it must have been for man to lose his wife, have all his children living elsewhere after he was left alone and then to know the kids didn't want the home he treasured.

I love this! Such a beautiful place. Thanks for the gorgeous tour. 😌🤘🏼 please be careful

I love how much of your heart goes into your videos. The way you describe each room I often just close my eyes and watch with my ears then I will start it over and watch with my eyes and it is so mind blowing. It makes me sad to think of those beautiful beds chairs and do on including the wallpaper just going to waste. So so sad.

I love the tenderness in your voice when you explain your investigations. Shame on the children for allowing this to happen. It could be restored to former glory.

Thank you so much for taking us with you on this explore! I think the wallpaper in some of the rooms was absolutely beautiful! Also the red bedroom was extraordinary! I wish I could go to france, but alas, I don't have the money yet. Thank you Jeremy!

Oh Jeremy , I’m truly sorry about your father, I know loss and nothing can ever take that pain away, when you lease expect it, your father will come to you, in your dreams or during a difficult situation…. I lost my 16 year old son, he was my one and only son, and he died on Easter Sunday 4/21/19 , I feel your pain, and I’m glad you made the decision to live your best life on behalf of your father, I’m 100% sure he’s looking down and he’s very proud of the man you have become… you are his legacy, when you look in the mirror, it’s your father looking back at you, smile and be proud 😊❤️♥️
