We are travelers in time. In this new series, we set out to break the deathloop that dooms us to repeat the past over and over again. For that, we went to France to find the most fascinating forgotten structures. Let us know what kind of exploration you want to see next. Of course, this journey lies already in the past, but we have filmed all sorts of abandoned sites in France.

Epic imagery! And these old books... what a crime leaving them to rot away. The reason the paper and print is in such good condition is, that paper of the 19th century and older was produced without acidic substances, which make paper turn yellow over time, especially under UV rich light, such as sun light.

God, if only walls could talk. Imagine the countless stories that cloister and the manor would tell!

It never fails to amaze me that you always capture small details that fit together to help us see the big picture. For instance, dust coming off a book or the wind blowing an insignificant piece of fabric. It sure stirs the imagination and engages the senses. BTW, I think Sascha is a great addition to your explores.✔️

One thing that I love about your video style beyond the cinematography, is your clearly intentional capture of nature. Showing plants as individuals. The capture of the various bird calls throughout the first half, which sounded so good it must have been captured separately then layered back into the video after? Idk...anyway, it shows these are made by someone(s) that actually love nature :)

These places come from nature, but they are also dismantled by nature again to be part of it once more. Thanks for your nice comment! And you are right: Most of these bird sounds are added/recorded seperatly. It's sound design as we video nerds call it.

Yeah only sad part of them having there own show is they be restricted by what's allow to be seen or visited granted by Netflix,

France is such a strange place, it’s hardly ever talked about and rarely seen on the news feeds. And all of these abandoned beautiful Manor, and that huge conference hotel are so weird just sitting there rotting away. It’s spooky that their never used for anything and not even restored and it can’t be for lack of money, France is a lucrative country. Thanks so much for taking us along fascinating stuff for sure

Oh, this was fascinating seeing the art work and the library! Unfortunately this amount of history is fast being forgotten and trying to save it for generations to come is getting harder to stop it from crumbling away as the cost would be so expensive to preserve it. Back in its day just would have been so beautiful to admire and living within these walls, one could just totally escape from the outside world. I always look forward to your next chapter Till! You always do your research and present it in a way that it totally makes me there looking within this history that once was, totally immersed. Tobi captures the history with the photos and especially seeing that he was there 2 yrs ago before, gives the idea that since then and now how the state of these buildings are deteriorating quite quickly. Take care to you all!

Beautiful home! It makes me sad to see all the art and books crumbling! Thank you for getting a video of it before it’s gone. Hopefully, the renovation will continue and artifacts and books will be saved!

Imagining the chateau was still in use it's look like living in a fairytale. Located in remote area away from the hustle and bustle with serene surroundings and lush garden, perfect for calm down and reduce stress. Beautiful and splendid chateau with rich ornaments, but too bad now is abandoned.

I live in South Africa and cannot believe the things you are exploring! I can't imagine the feeling of seeing these pieces of history... Holding the books from hundreds of years ago... Gazing at the artworks... It is completely incredible to think the lives of people that have gone before us. Good job guys! Good for you to document these things before they are gone forever. 😍😍😍

There aren't many narrators I care to listen to for long but you are definitely one I enjoy.

You don't have to ask what I want to see!!! I want to see what ever you do! Your videos are always filled with compassion and respect for these wonderful abandoned place you find!

These estates are like yachts on land. Holes into which you pour cash. You don’t own these estates they own you. At best you’re a custodian. At worst you are fighting an uphill battle every day for survival. No one wants to walk away from their heritage, they do it out of necessity and practicality. Don’t ever think that it doesn’t leave a hole in their hearts.

I always hate seeing books left behind anywhere but seeing your video was heartbreaking: so many priceless treasures! The deterioration of the buildings since Toby was last there does not bode well for it's renovation. Even though some of the buildings were being worked on, I'd be very interested to see this place in another 2 or 3 years. Keep a possible return on your calendar, perhaps? Thanks for sharing another great video, with your typical insightful narration. I'll be waiting for the next one! Take care!

From the amazing surroundings to the Works of Art left behind by the wealthy. Cheryl Campbell has said this perfectly - "People so wealthy they can just walk away from homes and businesses" - Just as though, it didn't matter. Tobi really does find the the most amazing locations with the deepest History and Fabulous Beauty. Thank you guys for this outstanding "Work or Art" Can't wait for the next one! Keep safe everyone!!

Videography, sound editing, narration, clever sponsorship nod: EPIC.

Oh my gosh. The condition of many of the priceless pieces is stunningly beautiful. The stained glass -- WOW. I'm with you all--why does the owner not take care of these gorgeous pieces within the cloister?? And the library!!!~ Excruciating, the loss of such exquisite books of the arts, culture, and wisdom. My heart aches.

My favorite place you explore are family homes. I like taking an intimate look into people's lives.

What a stunning property….beautifully seen through your lenses. As always, your editing, musical choices and philosophy draw me in. My home is more than 100 years old and filled with antiques, art, and a specialized library. To think of it ever ending up like these homes you explore and document would be heartbreaking. I am glad they are restoring and protecting some of the buildings on this property…hopefully the main chateau and cloister will also be preserved. Stay safe out there.🖤🇨🇦

Love the library…. Absolutely my favourite…. If I were there, I’m sorry but I would have to take a book or two!

Well done guys..if it wasn't for people like you , these places would be totally lost to us...at the same time, it's absolutely heartbreaking to see such a beautiful & historical building just left to crumble..

Thank you for your appreciation of these sadly neglected treasures and places. I’m happy and sad at the same time watching this. I’m sure your work will encourage some owners to rethink how they’re treating these magnificent and irreplaceable places.

Amazing as usual! Location, film, narration, the story... That's the problem with France, so many palaces and chateaux that you can't renovate everything! Keep up the good work!

All the crumbling castles have so much history to tell even when it's taken back by nature. You make us dream of the past again. Danke, merci . Thank You.

I literally just started watching their channel today. And I clicked on this one because of the library. As a avid reader and lover of antiques and history, the abandonment of the library is blowing my mind, but in the worse way possible. I would be in aww to have in 2 or 3 of those books, and someone just left it there! I mean maybe the original owner had a reason to leave, but the new one? seriously? Come on! On top of which, I speak French and English, so I could read those! I even had to read older French documents too, so I could probably try reading the really older ones too!

Beautifully done and narrated! The cloister is an interesting combination of the old and new (well, 19th century). I'm guessing the relics embeddied in the cloister's walls are mostly 19th century grand tour souvenirs, beautifully presented, but not enormously valuable. The chapel's glass looks very old (I am no expert). Whoever built the place had both taste and money. The book in the library wasn't from 1667 - the illustration shown was very typical for circa 1840.
