This is what some of the plaque in the basement said: "We owe it to ourselves to create a happy marriage. In marriage is the smallest things that are the most important. It is never too old to join hands. I love you at least once a day. It is to never go to bed angry. It is to face the world together." I couldn't see ther rest because of the shadow.

Maybe, that is why that plaque was left in the basement on the floor and everything else was left in the home behind. I know when we'd often leave our home many times a year. My Mom, my siblings and me due to bad abusive situations from my dad we'd wait for my dad to leave to work on Monday morning, collect some items of clothing, a couple toys and get the heck out of dodge ASAP. Always ascared he may come home while we were leaving. This man may have just said forget it. If my family isn't here to enjoy this home. What then am I doing here? And just got up and deserted the pad. Just one scenario of countless. But having heard what the plaque said and where it was located, not hanging on a wall happily. Makes you wonder???

These videos with everything left behind make me so sad. I honestly feel like crying watching them. Because I wonder why? Why do families just up and disappear or leave their homes, their castles? Leaving everything they worked so hard for furniture, cars, clothing, household items, behind? What happened? These homes make me feel sadder than homes with nothing left in them. Your videos are so soothing, your soft voice, soft background music. Almost therapeutic, if they weren't do sad, the ones like this one, anyways. You are amazing by the respect you have and the thoughts you have reminiscing of what once was. I do the same while watching. Seeing the family sitting in the livingroom watching tv. Children doing homework at kitchen table. Small children playing with their toys. But we shall never ever know what really was? That's what keeps you exploring and that is what keeps your viewers loving every minute watching. Because every house tells a different story in our minds. Hey, thanks so much for sharing. You are honestly one of the best explorers out there . Due to the wholesome respect you have for the places you explore. Just watching your videos it's so obvious that you are one special sensitive, caring, soft spoken, respectful guy. Your kind are one jewel in a pile of coal. Thanks for sharing and thanks more for caring. Hey, if you forget your mask. Which you should NEVER do for your health. But, IF you do you could use your shirt and place it over your mouth. That would at least keep out a great part of dust particles, bad air, abestos dust etc. Just a thought! :) But do please remember your mask. Thats a even better idea. Well...... let me think, yea, it is!!! 😊 Be blessed and please stay safe!!!

Siobhan, Thanks for your medical service. Enjoy your time off. Take care of your mental and physical health as you take care of others. It's unfortunate some other houses will be empty, too, due to Covid-19. Occupied one day and then unoccupied. Some people don't even have relatives to resolve their property and affairs. Take care and best regards, Keith

My parents have a house in France and the inheritance laws of France are complicated,if there is a dispute over property and if it isn't resolved amicably then the government takes control of the house and if the dispute continues then quite often properties are locked up and end up like this place.its a sad,mad situation and 1000s of wonderful homes lay abandoned.

In france when you pass away, the government waits for relatives to claim the house. As long as nobody from the family claims is, it can not be sold or lived in. So that's why there are abanded houses

Its a shame when people can't respect things like that

What a gorgeous place,so sad seeing all the memories scattered all over.I bet this house was stunning in its day,and the grounds must of been beautiful.Loved the way all that ivy was getting in and taking everything over.Sad when you see all those photos of family members,the children pictures,and all the toys.Even though you don’t no the back ground of this house,you still presented it so beautifully Dave.Maybe in a few more years,some other people will find this house,like you have.But by then it will be totally hidden from view,by nature.Thankyou Dave for sharing this lovely video,hope you are having a great birthday Dave.🥳🥳🎂🍰🍰🍺🍺

Dave! You've outdone yourself again! Beautiful commentary. It's crazy how close you were to the house and you could barely even see it! That overgrown kitchen area was magnificent! So beautiful! And I loved the basement, still very much intact with all the weight from the house. You were probably smelling guano (bat feces) in the attic. And the bio-oligo cobalt on the nightstand was a homeopathic nutrient found in the mineral waters in Europe. It treated such ailments as anemia, hypertension, muscle spasms, and migraines. (From what I read, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Spotted Poppy at 5:21 Great job, keep up the good work. I heard you say you wished your exploring days were over, just know that we support you in whatever you decide to do, we're with you till the end!! 💜💜💜

Wow. Im lost for words. Beautiful. Happy birthday. Hope you have a great day xxx

That is so beautiful, I can't understand why one would leave a place like that. Probably a passing of one's. The photos, antiques, the beautiful furniture. Takes my breath away. Love it! At least you have respect for ones things, like you said, if a door or drawer is open...close it. True kindness. Awesome!

Just luv this,you speak with such love for exploring. I enjoy every place you show us. Please keep exploring. The respect and love you show is wonderful never seen such a beautiful thing. Ty I feel like I am right there to. TY..xoxoxo

this is a good one dave. thank you so much. I really appreciate that you take the time to look at this and arent too quick with the camera, some people move too quick and you cant see things but you take the time to slowly pan with your camera work and it really does help to appreciate what you, as the cameraman/explorer see so we feel like we are wih you in the explore. I also love how your videos are so calming to watch. I suffer with bad anxiety and to watch something that is calming and soothing is so helpful, other videos are too brash and in your face and it stresses me out lol..thank you so much for the time and effort you take with these beautiful places. 😃❤👌😊

Amazing video such a beautiful place I can imagine the memories someone must of had of this place

Fabulous explore David! Thank you as always. These places never cease to amaze me. I just don't understand why they are not emptied out by family and sold off. Even if the money was donated to provide housing for the homeless or something. You are such a good man to respect all the places your explore. Thanks again!

Yea, Happy Bday, David ..!!!! Ur ALWAYS bringing us such AMAZING CONTENT nd we LOVE YA for it! !!!! I only wish we could in turn do More for you..!! This once, HOME is now COMPLETELY Returned too NATURE... It's Terribly,Horribly, SAD...!!!! I'm Still very GREATFUL that you were able to show us this once amazing home...

Another good video mate. I really like how you are so respectful regarding people's possessions; I wish others were so mindful. Top man.

Absolutely loved it. So amazing how nature takes over. Really is such a big place and literally like a time capsule. Thank you for the video.

Wow another amazing find keep up the good work Dave 👍🏻 Happy Birthday too 🎂🎉🎁🥳😘

First off Happy Birthday to you!!! Hope you spent it well and enjoyed your day. I truly enjoy watching your video this house is amazing that it looks like the family could be just around the corner except for all the greenery coming inside. Those dishes are just beautiful and the old furniture make you think of comfortable living. Thank you for another great explore

You've done a beautiful job bringing this house to life again. I know speaking for myself I can see how beautiful this house once was by how you describe it and take us through each room. I like it when you show the heart of a home by sharing the family photos and imagining what it must have been like back before life folded in on it and the people vanished into obscurity. Thank you for this one. A job well done... and not a place that was recently occupied or just not being used by the owners lately. But a truly abandoned mansion with a rich and lustrous history I'm sure. Good job.

And you did it again Dave what a beautiful explore I just love the way you talk about the home you are in and the family ....with your videos the families are not forgotten. Stay safe wear your mask 😷 no good to be breathing all that dust and mold...HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂

absolultely beautiful, Dave. You have a talent few do, you can help transport us to a different time. You don't just film, you recreate the lives that were there. Just love your videos. I love the doors and original hardware, the old tiles. This house has a happy vibe to it, I think people were really happy and comfortable there. I bet that attic space was just for the kids. Like their own wing. Great explore! XXOO

Keys laying beside the jeep thats fascinating,and the tree through the bumper,vines all in the house soo much stuff and soo many memories this goes on the list of special videos thankyou so much Dave I had my reading glasses on and a magnifying glass God bless you and your friends and stay safe

So sad to see this left to the environment and nature. This was someone’s home and the place they made memories. Thank you for being so respectful of the belongings even though they are disintegrating. Love from 🇨🇦

This house is amazing, and everything is left & frozen in time. Wow

WOW WOW WOW! Another beautiful find Dave. 🏰💕 it amazes me that these beautiful property's are left like this. I've read someone's else's comment where they've said it may be because of inheritance tax. If that's the case, it just makes me wonder why they leave such beautiful furniture and pictures behind? And god No, please don't let your exploring days be over? As I've said, I've watched a few videos the last week or so that i discovered urbexing, and you are by far my absolute favourite!! Such respect and love for what you do. Thank you and a huge happy birthday to you. Stay safe x p.s I had a very similar lampshade in my room when I was a young girl ( I'm almost 35 🤫😆 ) x

Fantastic👌

So beautiful another fantastic video love all your videos I watch them over and over thank you

Another lovely video! Happy birthday! 👍🎂💝

Love old places like this, when your inside you dont really think about anything else but the place and what times its been through.

What a magnificient place. It was sad too. I like to imagine it as it once was, a warm and happy home, but now, one wonders where the people went and why is such a lovely home left to decay and be reclaimed by nature. I wanted to mention, the 'front room', we call it that here in Canada, well I do anyway LOL. Thanks so much not only for such a wonderful explore but also for how respectful you are of these homes. It's a testament to your character. I look forward to the next one 😊

I can just imagine how beautiful this place was. Just a shame it is decaying away. Thank you for this video. Be safe

i loved this place. like you... i could imagine people, and kids running around, or in that kitchen cooking having a laugh. so sad when you hear how a family had to abandon their home quickly. thanks for another awesome video

Beautifully sad...how, why, family...Great find! I'd live to draw a room with the vices and all. Just breathtaking. I'm happy to see it hasn't been vandalized. Good job guys❗👏

Love the combo of music with abandoned home.. Perfect for watching while trying to fall asleep. Fantasize about what the house was like back in its prime all while listening to soothing music and his soothing voice 👌

This was such a marvelous video. Such devastation done for just to destroy. My favorite part was that of the kitchen where the vines and the things once used to make a family happy. Such beautiful things just going back to nature. I just want to cry when I see all those personal things just tossed about and no respect for the people that left all for who knows what reason. Keep up the good videos.

It just amazes me how so many items are just left behind. Interesting but sad. Happy Birthday!!!!🎂🎈🎁

Every time I see a video from you I am excited because as you explore you can imagine what it would be like for the family and paint a picture for us. Absolutely awesome find. Cheers from Australia. xx

Lovely video beautiful house,once again yah smashed it outa the park my man.👌👍

Another beautiful mansion. Thank you for the journey.

What an amazing home!!! Loved the room that had been taken over by the vines and the car with the tree growing through it.... Thank you so much for another amazing tour!!! Keep healthy and safe in your travels! BTW, Your beard looks good!

Lovely video of a lovely home in its day poppy duck found a place in the display cabinet. Thanks for sharing and stay safe and well x

Wow, just wow!! Absolutely amazing, so freaking beautiful, so crazy how time just stands still.so beautiful and so sad at the same time. I love how u talk it all thru, I imagine same way as you, thinking of how it would have been.. fantastic video Really feels heavy on your heart, seeing the glasses on the table next to the remote as if theyve just literally put them down. Its absolutely incredible, and the music makes it pull on your heart strings even more absolutely love it💝💝my sons loving it aswell 💝💝

I can’t believe all the family items like pictures ext that people leave. I love the way you talk about these places as you have such reverence for them, and the tone of your voice is perfect

Another fantastic video! In the 80’s my late grandmother was given Colbalt as a chemotherapy treatment for her brain cancer, unsuccessfully.

Such a beautiful place!! Thank you for the time and effort you put into your work. Blessings

Hi Dave, wow so much left behind, it's so sad because that is someone's whole life in that house. I hate it when people just go into these lovely timecapsules and destroys the personal property there. Your video skills have taken a huge jump recently, they are really top quality now. Thank you for sharing, take care. xx

Another cool French chalet, thank you for sharing your discoveries with its it's a real treat!💜

incredible it is...nature taking over..thanks for showing it to us so we are aware!

This is more like you - I was ready to give up on those ones where all you did was talk on part 1 and 2 and then the woods...glad you are back showing videos.....thank you!

Wow!! There's a few homes like this with tree trees and bushes all around them. It makes me wonder if there like this. The kitchen holy moly with the ivy. The living room was great. Ty Dave stay safe 🙂❤✌

Love the way you speak through your videos, you have allot of passion for what you do, great video , loved it

It is amazing and sad at the same time, I watch your videos and really like the respectful way you explore. I just wish that somehow you tell the mystery as what happened..... But anyway would like to say, great job. Thank you for sharing.

An amazing and beautiful home, very sad at the same time. Thank you for sharing it. Best wishes Paul

Nice explore, as always. This amazing house could probably be saved, and I'm always puzzled by the waste. As a kid, I remember my dad teaching me that if you take care of what you have, it will last forever. Today, everything is disposable.

Wonderful place and location. Thanks Dave

Thank you so much for sharing that amazing find! What a gem!

That was amazing, would love to do this adventuring myself. Totally loving the show.

Working on your birthday!? Dropping everything to watch this right now.

What an incredible find...awesome video!

Awesome find, love all the close ups and detail very absorbing.

Love the old time capsules and way nature takes everthing back in end and ducky of sat in the Welsh dresser in the dining part of the living room 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 x

finally braving the online world... this is another fantastic explore! Poppy was in the hutch next to the funnels :-). Loved seeing that glass dome clock my parents had one like it when I was growing up and I always loved watching the mechanism spin. With a background in architecture and landscape architecture I have mixed feelings about nature taking over a building like it is here... love it and am saddened by it at the same time. But loved the tree growing up thru the car bumper though! Thanks for another half hour reprieve from my real life! Be well.

Happy Birthday watched live ,it was so funny.stay safe.you are a lovely man .that's a compliment.😊😗🇺🇸

A silent empty house sitting in time, waiting for whatever next to happen. Time moves on and so will more houses be built. And this little home will be no more. Memories will be forgotten here. And new ones will be made. Not sure what will happen to all furniture and such, when new buildings are built. But, hopefully they will be donated and not destroyed. Beautiful video, David. xx

I am so grateful for this channel, I just watched another urbex channel from UK and I was appalled at the disrespect shown by the channel hosts, throwing stuff at each other and making disrespectful comments at photos laying about... terrible... thank god there's guys like you out there :)

When I see a house like this . I always wonder what happened . To the family. In younger years this house was gorgeous. But it still has a lot of beauty. Furniture and family belongs. I enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day.

scattered yet beautiful house and a lonely home,my heartbreaks😢f i cud only turn bck times for this family to have a happy ending😟😧😔 tnxs a lot Dave,HBD🍸🍰

I adore you I adore your content your music your respect you have the emotions I feel sad but beautiful for these places you take us are by far no other channel compares to yours..EXCELLENT EXCELLENT RIDE!! TY STAY SAFE!!🤗🤗💚💚💚💚

Amazing! The tree growing through the car bumper is my fav thing! The plaque on the floor in the basement, based on what I've translated, looks like a take on the famous "Art Of Marriage" poem by Wilferd A. Peterson. "L'Art du Mariage" Translation: The Art of Marriage "Nous âmes devons de créer un mariage heureux" Translation: We must create a happy marriage "Dans le mariage ce sont les plus petites choses qui sont les plus importantes" Translation: In marriage the smallest things are the most important "C'est de n'être jamais trop vieux pour se donner la main" Translation: It's never to be too old to hold hands "C'est de dire "je t'aime" au moins une fois par jour" Translation: It's to say "I love you" at least once a day "Ç'est de ne jamais aller au lit fâché" Translation: It's never going to bed angry "Ç'est d'affronter le monde ensemble" Translation: It's about facing the world together "Ç'est de ne pas seulement du marier la bonne personne" Translation: It's not just about marrying the right person

ANOTHER GREAT VID DAVE ITS SO SAD TO THAT LOVELY PLACES ARE LEFT TO ROT AWAY LIKE THEY NEVER EXISTED A THINK YOU TAKE SO MANY RISKS WALKING ON THEM DECAYING FLOORS DAVE

The vehicle with the tree growing through it is a SSangyong Musso 1996-1999. Just love to see a true time capsule like this one,thanks and please keep them coming Dave.
