Remotely located in the vast French countryside,
there is a property that was once called "Le Moulin" - the mill. And not just any property, it was once home
to a French family and comes with an intriguing story and history. This 2 story house was last occupied 15 years
ago, and was owned by Mr. Roger and Mrs. Andree. Mr. Roger served as a soldier back in World
War II. Unbelievable but true - mementos from wartimes,
their memories and other family relics have slowly sinking into dust during the last decades. Old documents teach us that Mr. Roger was
involved in a shooting accident during a war battle during the war, for which he eventually
received compensation from the French state. Luckily, he survived, but did not remain unscathed
- the man became disabled but ultimately, the couple gratefully found all their peace
in their manor in the middle of the meadows. This is how they lived up to a quiet retirement,
while they made bread in an artisanal way in their own mill, which they sold to the
villagers in the region, and worked towards their peaceful old age, when they eventually
both left this planet. During the long stretch of desolation, hardly
anyone, besides some vermin, has entered this property - making it a real time capsule of
wartime. Today I take you on a tour through their lives
as I explore their former house in search for answers. (♫ Official Explomo Opener Intro Title) (♫ Relaxing guitar music) Oh, wait, did the video already start? What am I actually doing?! I don't need all of this anymore because thanks

today's video, and now, it's time to explore! Peace. So, hello everyone, and welcome back from
the wonderfulyl quaint and peaceful countryside here in France. I'm currently in a very remote area somewhere,
and we found this abandoned house with still, all its contents left inside. It was, actually, once the home of Mr. Roger
and his family, and the house has already been sitting here left abandoned for 15 years. It's incredible to see, but also very sad
to see how many personal memories are left inside this home. But without further ado, I can hardly wait
to show you this property, so let's start exploring! (♫ Electronic music) So, after having rummaged a little bit through
the family history, I already told you it was Mr. Roger and his family, and Mr. Roger
was a soldier during the Second World War. So, first of all, much admiration and courage
to him that he, actually, fought in the war. When he retired and left the army as a soldier,
he actually started doing loads of agriculture, and he actually made a great fortune with
it. These people must've lived a happy life, and
why no relatives at all seem to care about the property anymore still remains a question. But hopefully, we'll find out more along this
exploration. So, we'll start this exploration in their
hallway. And iamgine that this was once the main door
of them where they entered their home each and everyday. Right now, the windows are broken. The property is widely standing open, and
nobody seems to be caring about it and is looking after it anymore. There's plenty of paperwork, and one of the
last dates we found was in the 1990s. So, yeah, I definitely think the property
has been sitting and standing here abandoned for that long. As you can see over here - photos dating from
1993. Well, but they are not inside anymore. Wow, look at that on top. It's like a little wooden figurine, that's
actually a horse. With those brushy hairs on its neck. Still, quite an old-fashioned telephone over
here. Oh, that's awesome! So, right now, we also know the woman's name
and that was "Andree". So, it was Mrs. Andree and Mr. Roger. Let's see if I can open this file, and if
there's anything inside. Oh, it's actually ripped over here. There's nothing inside anymore, unfortunately. And over here's also an envelope that was
written to Mr. Roger himself. Some very moldy paintings over here. And one thing I haven't told you yet about
the family history - over here, we can see all those mills. And it was not only agriculture these people
where involved in, but they had a bakery! Or like they say in France: a "boulangerie"! And that bakery is, actually, yeah, well,
not the bakery itself, but the mill is actually right over there in the garden. You're gonna see it later and you're gonna
be amazed. There also used to be a river flowing there. It was a water mill. But right now, there's no water flowing anymore,
and it's just completely dry. As you can see over here, we have wonderful
stairs going up. There's still a heater. Also, some sunscreens. Plenty of files still in these things. I also saw them over here - let's see. They are all just still filled - incredible. Let's just go inside this room first. This room used to be like a little sidekitchen,
but not their main kitchen. Look at that bottle. I'm wondering if there used to be wine inside. It's actually Spanish. A wonderful fireplace over there. I have to admit that this room is quite messy,
but most of the rooms inside this place are left pristine and entirely untouched. Cutlery, some buttons. An old pocket flashlight. A little purse. There are still so many things to find in
this place. This was a little mixer, so, they definitely
had a passion for baking, not only during their leisure time. Oh, wow! Look over here! You can clearly tell how long this place has
been abandoend. The wood of this shelf is completely rotting
away, and there are still pots of canned vegetables. Those actually look like tomatoes. Oh, and the dates are so old! That one's dated from 1978, 1971... Imagine for how long these vegetables have
actually been rotting here in these jars. This looks like a little bowl that oculd have
been used for some incense maybe. An agenda from 1975. Whoa! And still, everything is written down in it. It seems that these people had a quite busy
time schedule. Dang... This wardrobe over here is entirely skewed
and near to collapse. There are some newspapers on the ground as
well. Oh! That one's dating from 1978. Then, on the oppossite side, there actually
used to be their main kitchen. And have a look. It was just, yeah, a very cosy and normal
kitchen. There used to be a wonderful grandfather clock
over there as well, but the actual clock has been taken out and only the case of it has
remained. A wonderful cupboard. Oh, there's even still honey over here. Have a look. Plenty of plates. This is a very beautiful plate. It's from d'Artagnan, that's one of the three
Musketeers. It's a wonderful plate, I really like it. d'Artagnan was actually born in my city in
the Netherlands. Wow! These plates are very beautiful too. They have all these carvings and edges on
them. And there's again some canned food dating
from 1978, August. Over here's an Indigit fridge - entirely empty. Then, have a look at how they've made this. Those are all like stones on the side. That's the main sink, and they had a huge
cabinet above it. And also, some shelves down beneath it. Oh! Probably even still some oil and vinegar,
some cleaning products... Wow. There's even still pasta, macaroni and everything. All is left behind in this home. Also plenty of glasses here. Some little cups. And I also really like this part. It's actually the part where they had their
furnace. There's a calendar from 1995 - one of the
last dates I've seen so far inside the home. And they had these little laces over here. Also, still plentiful ornaments on top. There are still the pans. Probably cutlery, or just, yeah, kitchen spoons
and everything. Over here in the kitchen they had another
door leading to the garden. But have a look: even still, these tiny boots
or sandals are standing here. Like somebody went outside in the garden,
went inside again, put out their shoes and after that, for some reason, these people
disappeared. They could have passed away, they could have
moved somewhere else and never returned, but this is so gloomy and also so mysterious. Always thousands of questions arise to your
head about what must've happened to those people. They could not have left for no reason, but
sometimes it really seems. This is a very vintage packaging over here. What is this? Like white stones? I really don't know. Okay, wait for a second. This is quite interesting because this newspaper
looks like a more recent one. I find it so strange because the newspaper
is again from Spain, and this one's only dating from August, 2016. There's no way that this was actually from
the original occupants that lived here. But I have a feeling that the original occupants
had somehow a connection with Spain. We also found the liquor from Spain. Haha, look at this. This is actually sort of a plastic doll. Very funny. Oh! Isn't this like a Castanet? Or is it just a clipper? I don't know - very funny. Alright, it's time to enter another room and
you're really gonna like this one. You can see on that side of the wall that
there are plenty of mold spores on the wallpaper. Over here on this chair, is even still an
old lamp of a carriage. Okay, that's strange. This is about a school and it looks a little
bit like an architectural plan or blueprint about the construction of a school. But then, notice again that there are prints
of mills again. Now, that makes sense. And again: mills. There's this little embroidered artwork of
this pink rose. And a letter over here. Let's see. Oh, it's actually not the only letter. There are more. So, it definitely makes sense because the
name of the property is also something with "moulin" - it's the French word for "mill". And this was a letter from their friends dating
from 1998. It was written from Roma, Italy. And they were writing: "Hey, you both, we're
going to Italy for 8 years. But we'll never forget France and we'll never
forget you. We hope everything is fine. Yesterday we've been to the catacombs and
it was very interesting. Kisses to you." Written to them by friends - wow! That's amazing. I'm really happy that I'm getting better in
my French language skills and also in my reading skills, so, I can actually translate more
of what I find inside these homes. But then, have a look right in front of me
- absolutely gorgeous. There's actually a bed on the ground floor
and what I do think, is that this actually used to be from the last person that lived
here. It was easier to just sleep on the ground
floor because in that case, it was not necessary to walk up the stairs all the time. A wonderful box with all the sewing gear. Over here it's also written: "Singer". And on the other side, you could also fold
it out, respectively. There are so many letters still inside the
home. Also, an ink stamp over here. Look over here at this picture. This lady was like a nomad followed by a huge
herd of sheep. The bed, by the way, is a typical French style. These beds are actually called sleigh beds
with this shape, and we'll find out a lot about them in this home. The people were definitely very religious
people of the Roman-Catholicism. And look over here! This could've been the woman when she was
still a child. It's a wonderful old photo inside the frame
here. Now, this is where it becomes very interesting. Right over here on this tiny table. Firstly, we have again an agenda from 1974. On the first page, all the telephone numbers
were written from hospitals, a doctor... just all the necessary numbers. Over here's still a very old telegram. Wow! I've actually never seen a real telegram because
I didn't grow up with it. This is not from my time anymore. As you can see over here, it's saying "minoterie
and boulangerie". So, this means that they had a bakery. Monsieur (Mr.) (censored), that was the name
of Mr. Roger. And then, over here, are actually all memories
about different time periods of his life. But probably the most impressive thing, is
that there are still his number plates from when he was in the French army. You can see it right over here. This was from him when he was a soldier. It's just incredible. Have a look at that wonderful oil lamp over
here as well. I really like it. The ornament of the dog. Even some more ink stamps. And of course, also, an ink blotter to erase
the ink. Some wonderful vintage items. These ones are still quite valuable nowadays. I also really like the mirror - it's huge. Have a look over here. This is, actually, the cemetery of all the
soldiers during the wartime. Those were actually all the camps and they
were displayed on this map throughout complete France. Probably, this was the hospital where the
soldiers were hospitalized. The army definitely made a lot of impact on
this them. There are still so many memories about it
displayed through this home. And you've seen the sewing kit, of course,
they also had a sewing machine - a Singer. But the actual sewing machine is nowhere to
be found anymore. Instead, they've now used it as a table for
the television. A wonderful vintage "Radiola" television. Wow! Still, with all the buttons over here for
all the different channels. A magnificent clock on top. It's so sad to imagine that all these wonderful
items are just left to rot. It's hard to believe. There are also still some fake flowers over
here. Over here's the holy water plaque on the wall. And I just always love the fake flowers because
they bring an abandoned dark place back to life. What would be inside this moldy cabinet? Well, nothing anymore. Then, I want to take my time to have a seat
over here because this map will actually tell us almost everything about the former man,
Mr. Roger, who lived here. So, the first paper is actually from 1932. There are so many old dates. Over here's 1963, 1953... this is really impressive. Over here's a paper dating from 1953, and
it's actually about the war. 1953 is not long after World War Two had been
fought, and this man was actually getting money paid by the government, like a reimbursement
for the events that happened. It's a little bit like a gift from the government. It's probably because he might've been traumatized
or injured during war times. And yeah, back in those days, the government
actually gave money to these soldiers for just doing a very brave and good job. There are even still letters over here dating
from before World War Two, and it's from a medicine chef or something. Yeah, over here you can see it. The office of the department of the victims
of World War Two. And it was for Mr. Roger. This man actually got around 1200 euros from
the government in 1956. I don't know if that was a one-time payment
only, or it was monthly, but this complete document has everything. All the files from the war. Over here's another one from the war from
1939. It might even be from World War One as well. Unbelievable. Oh, yeah. He got between 1000 and 1200 francs. Of course, I've said euros, but back in these
times, they actually did not know the euro yet and there was still the French currency,
the francs, with which they paid during this time period. Mr. Roger... what a very inspiring man, and it's incredible
how they left so much history left behind. But there also happened something very awful
to Mr. Roger. And I'm going to show it to you right now. This is actually a medical report, a medical
record about an injury that happened to him while he was fighting in the fields. Uhm, it's actually saying that he had a bilateral
problem in his lungs. He's short of breath while he's actually doing
exercise, and he had a hemithorax, which means bleeding. And I think that was because he got shot through
his lungs. Over here you can see everything, and it's
actually saying that he became disabled for a long time because of this. There's also still written what they are going
to do about it, "origine par presumption". Unbelievable - a very old medical record,
guys. I can keep going through this for hours and
hours, but honestly, I've already gone through this a little bit before actually starting
the video. One of the most impressive things is just
to see that this man was a victim of this big war and he actually got injured in it. So, yeah, all my respect to Mr. Roger. All my respect to all the soldiers in general
who have been fighting and serving their country. And I'm really happy that right now, we're
actually living in a time where this is not happening anymore and there's almost all of
the world just peace. Not yet global peace, but we're getting there
slowly. Well, that was really impressive rummaging
through the history of Mr. Roger. And right now, there's actually yet another
wonderful room, and I guess this was their living room. These doors were actually leading to the main
kitchen. And over here's a wonderful stone fireplace. Still, with all its tools just standing inside. There's also a beautiful piece of French furniture:
a chaise longue. This was a little bit like a relaxing sofa
where you would just hang out for a bit and just rest. Maybe read a book, for example. So many files. And also so many details. There's another old photo over here of a woman. A calendar from 1968. Over here on their dining table are again
plenty of things about the wartime. "Guerre" is actually the French word for war. And those are all pages with text and illustrations
about war. All of these books. He did not only fight in the war, but it also
seems to have mainly fascinated him. What is this over here? It is very hard to read. Nah, I don't know what it is, but it looks
like a little postal card or something, like from a store. And then, over here's actually the logo from
their bakery - wonderful. On this side, there's also a cabinet. Look - there are still medicines and pills. Oh, really?! Those are actually chocolate eggs for Easter. And ironically enough, I'm exploring this
home today on Easter Sunday. That's so funny - just chocolate eggs inside. I can't see an expiration date anymore, but
yeah, let's close this one again. (♫ Mysterious ambient music) After having seen all those magnificent rooms
on the ground floor, I actually want to go upstairs right now. You're gonna love the rooms that are waiting
for us - trust me. On the sides over here, are also plenty of
cobwebs. By that you can tell, that hardly any people
have been inside this place for many years. And that's the reason why it is still so well-preserved
- like traveling back in time. Wow! Well, let's go inside the first room. This is a bedroom. Strangely enough, there are actually two beds
in one room. Maybe this used to be the room of their children,
and they were both sleeping in one bed. Clear signs of leakage damage on the ceilings. Wow. Look over here. There are still so many old photos. Over here, exactly children were doing their
communion, and I guess their children. Plenty of wool. Dang. Imagine that this could have just been the
owners of this place one day and that this could've been inside the garden of their home. All the pictures of the woman. Over here's she's with a friend as well. And this must've been the man during the army. Yeah, with all the other soldiers. Have a look. That was him! Even a tank over here. And over here they are in frame with the complete
group of soldiers. And again, an ornament of a mill. Wow. Those pictures were taken in 1939 and 1940
on another mission. All the tanks again. This was the man standing in front of the
tank. Incredible. The man used to be a quite handsome guy. Over here he was wearing some quite gentle
suits. It looks like he had a photoshoot or something. Very interesting. Also again, a religious statue. The head's broken. There is a rosary as well. There's a book about plants, and I definitely
think that these people just loved nature because they lived in the middle of nature. There's not a single house around this place. This could've been a family photo - maybe
at a wedding. Yeah, this was taken at a wedding - have a
look! And this could've been their wedding, actually. Over here are the animal paws. They used to hang, for example, coats on this. Or sometimes, it was only just used as wall
decoration. It's incredible to see all of this. And wait for a second! Is this the actual property? It looks a little bit like it, but there's
not that building. So, it is impossible. There are so many rat and mice droppings on
the ground over here. Some pairs of socks there. Wow, still, their ties. And also still some shirts inside here. Some blouses, parts of clothes, sheaths. And again, there's so much other paperwork. Well, let's continue making our way through
this floor. There's so much mess over here in the toilet! Even the toilet paper's still hanging up there. By this, you can definitely tell that it was
an older person living here. They could sit down, do their thing, and then,
their droppings would be collected in the bucket. Oh, and this was their bathroom. Quite tiny, to be honest. And then, actually, at the end of this tiny
corridor, there's another wonderful bedroom. Wow! I really like this French sleigh bled. They are always so charming. There used to be a cupboard over here as well,
but now, only the upper part is left of it with the mirror. Over here are some walking canes, so, maybe
the man was disabled during his older days and it was harder to move forward. And that's also maybe the reason why the bed
was on the ground floor. Some wonderful religious ornaments over here. Still, a pair of glasses too. Wow! The crucifix is just trapped between the cobwebs
over here. And we've seen one like this also in the other
room. Then, over here on the shelves are so many
books - plenty of them. So, I guess the people also really loved to
read during their leisure time - wow. Most of the books are actually religious ones,
I've noticed. Oh, look at the ground over here! It's actually a French "beret", like a French
hat. Then, have a look at this man over here. I guess he was quite well-known. I don't know his name at the moment, but he's
also hanging over here. With a thermometer right beneath it. Wow! Okay, then, there are still two rooms for
us left inside the home. The first one is this, and this one is in
quite a bad condition. You can still see all the clothes hanging
up, so, that's actually very special. But furthermore, it's quite messy. Stuff has been dumped around. Perhaps a little bit ransacked. Yet, over here are again some old photos of
the man in his younger days. And I think if I look at these two photos,
that this was him and this was his son because they have much in common, but I don't think
those two people are the same people. And the complete family over here - wow! Actually, in front of the main door of the
building of this house! It's just amazing. Over here's also just a prayer's chair standing. People used to kneel on it like that and then,
eventually, they could pray with their arms over here. Another old photo over there. So many coats. And that over there's all wallpaper. Well, you better be ready to see the last
room inside this house, as it's right in front of me, and it's very captivating. Alright, there we go! Have a look at this. In my opinion, this is the most beautiful
bedroom in the place. And I do think that it also was the main bedroom
one day. So many old portraits of them, but also from
family ancestors. I guess, this was definitely the coat or a
part of a suit from Mr. Roger because he really liked to wear suits. We've seen plenty of suits in all those pictures
and photoshoots he had. And then, on this cupboard, there's a complete
memory wall. I think this used to be his father. Because have you seen the other photo on the
ground in the previous room? It was actually the same man. And then, have a look at all these photos. Wow! Over here, we can see Mr. Roger when he was
older on the left side. Some more memories of the wall. 1933, 1940... It's a true time capsule, and I'm really happy
to share this place with you today because places like this are very rare to find in
such mint condition. It's a little bit stuck. Some magazines over here. And again, plenty of religious books. Oh, dang, what's this? Wow. Oh my gosh. It's about a religious priest. The book dates between 1825 and 1907, so,
I think the beginning of the 20th century. Dang, look at this! There was a giant wasp nest - a giant one. I hope they are all dead by now. You can still see some remains of the wasps,
actually, inside. Dang! Have a look at this wardrobe: it's beautiful
with all those wooden carvings on the sides. It's
squeaking a lot. It's just filled with all those tiny clothes
and sheaths. Haha, my gosh. Also, have a look at this. The glass peeling of the mirror is loose and
broken because of humidity. That one's full of sheaths again, and some
parts of lamps over here. And then, of course, the wonderful bed with
on top a very beautiful portrait of Mr. Roger when he was still younger. And again, another photo of Roger. I don't know who this was but it could've
been his brother maybe. And I think this was the woman. And right now, viewer discretion is advised
because there are dead animals over here. If you don't like to see it, just skip ahead
for 2 minutes. And here we go, because have a look at what's
left over here. It's quite a striking find. Animals have found their way in - rats. And the skeletons of them are just still laying
there. They are completely digested by nature. Dang! Not nice at all. Over here's also a guide again from traveling
in Spain. I think this was the entire family and it
was a huge family. How can't there still be any relatives looking
after this property? At least, by saving its contents and just
closing it, saving it from vandalism and people. Well, and with that having shown, it's time
to go outside. Alright, leaving the home, and it's time to
show you the outbuilding, the actual mill I guess, that I was talking about. Let's tour around their huge garden. This property is actually surrounded by acres
of land. These people were clearly involved in agriculture
one day. One other thing I actually really liked is
that they had a wishing well over here. But right now, it's completely surrounded
by all the vegetation. There's not much left of it anymore. So imagine that this was once just their main
entrance, overlooking the house. And then, actually, there are two barns. There's one over there, and one over there
as well. And I think that one is the actual mill, and
this one I haven't checked out yet. So, yeah, let's just have a look and walk
around for a bit because as you can see, it's a nice sunny day, so... It's not even a punishment at all. Well, plenty of wood storage here. It must've been for all the stoves. I think this cable over here was actually
a washing line for their clothes. Oh...! A huge part of the shed has already collapsed,
as you can see. Let's go inside here. It's quite dark. Oh, I think they were keeping animals here
maybe. There's so much wood storage. Look over here. This sole chair is just left here. It's actually a beautiful antique. It's sad that it's just left to waste. And then, behind these bushes is the actual
big barn building I was talking about. Well, we have to make our way through the
dense vegetation here. Oh, dang! My camera's even stuck inside of it. But there we go. Oh, we have to squeeze ourselves through here
a little bit. Alright. Well, and there we are, inside a huge barn
with still plenty of their gear left. Mr. Roger must've been a handyman. Whoa! Some really old chairs. Wonderful antiques. Just all left to rot. A lot of rusty metal things over here. And I think those were some wine barrels. Oh, yeah, definitely. Have a look over there. There are also plenty of ancient wine bottles. Also, on top of here are some too. And I think this was filled with oil because
there's also a very oily smell inside here. There's plenty of storage of antiques again. Have a look at this wonderful scenery over
here. That's actually a bridge over there, and all
of this used to be a river one day. But right now, everything's dry - all the
water is gone. Over there, you can even still see the meter
with how many feet the water level would've been. Imagine that this was just once the mill where
all the bread was made for their bakery. It's just amazing. And then, let's make our way inside here because
there are still plenty of things to find. Although I have to be careful because I do
not completely trust the floor. The planks are really rotting away. Have a look - wow! I think this complete machine was actually
driven by the current of the water flow right behind it, and it was all just turning, turning,
and turning. And the grains were probably just growing
on their field, and after they harvested them they just put them inside, and eventually,
they could make their own bread, or "pain" as they say in French. (French friend starts laughing)
Yeah, right?! It's pain, right? - Hahaha, yeah, "pain"! Yeah, guys, as you can see, I'm learning French. Wow. Oh my...! Look at that wonderful old generator over
there. There are some really old things. All these machines were definitely evidence
of the production of bread. - You can see the whole mechanism. Is there something? - Watch through the glass, you can see the
whole mechanism. Oh, it's all down beneath here?! - Yeah! Dang! So, you definitely do not want to fall down
here. Let's see if I can make this visible because
it's quite hard. Whoa! Yeah, this definitely used to be a mill, right? - Yeah. There was just water flowing all underneath
us right now. That's really interesting. Alright, now, let's see what else we can find. Imagine that right underneath me right now
there's a long way going down. Dang! Over here's still water. Have a look. The entire bottom part of the mechanism of
this mill - whoa! Wow. There's a giant inglenook fireplace over here. Also, have a look at the cracks in the wall. This building is in a very bad state of disrepair. Probably soon it will collapse as well. Haha, this over here's even the top part of
a vintage coffee grinder, and this over here was probably once some eau-de-toilette. So many old items. Those are even mushrooms over there in that
tiny tin. A very old clock rotting away, and so many
tools and appliances just dumped on the ground. They were even books here, so maybe this room
was also a room where they just relaxed during just a break of work on a casual working day
in their mill making bread. And look at this corner: it's really traditional. With the pump right here, the tiles on the
sides. It's a very old sink. There are tiles over here as well. And with this over here, you could carry the
water, and actually, transport it. It's
not working anymore, unfortunately. That would've been really cool. Okay, so, we just found this little booklet
over here and it's actually a course of the study of Mr. Roger, right? - Yeah, yeah, you can see his name right here. Oh! He must've written this when he was still
very young. And he actually studied geography, right? - Yeah, yeah, yeah! Dang, look: everything's still inside. Haha, everything about France. - Yeah, I expect to see an old map like this. Oh, wow, those are all the different departments
of France, right? - Yeah. Okay, so, tell me, honestly, I know there
are so many departments in France. I don't know how many in total exactly but
do you, actually, know them by heart as a Frenchman? - Oh! In the history class I learned them, I mean,
but... I think it's very tough, man, because there
are so many of them. So, yeah, this man was studying geography
or maybe it was just in secondary school and this was one of the subjects they got educated
in. But over here's another course book on geography. - This is broken. Yeah, unfortunately, like many things inside
just because of what nature has done to this place. Lots of harm. The calendar paper over here as well is dating
from 1965. Another geography book! - Yeah, hahaha. And another one. He was clearly studying geography. Yeah, yeah. - So old-school. Look over here: the moon and the sun. - Tour Eiffel. Oh, yeah, the Eiffel tower! Those are some very old books. - This guy, haha! Black race, race... this is a bit... really old-school. Yeah, nowadays, they would call you a racist
if you do this. - Yeah, yeah! It's crazy to see how times can change, man. - Yeah. It's always really cool to go through all
these old books and just see how it was back in those days. Because times have definitely changed. But anyway, the last thing is, actually, going
upstairs. I have to be really careful because the floor
is in very bad condition. I can not walk everywhere, but in most parts,
I can with caution. A very old beautiful French clock over here
with Napoleon on top. Oh, wow! There are also some old sleighs over here. Well, Maureno, although this might look like
an ordinary sleigh, this weird-shaped sleigh was actually not used for sleighing! This item was common to find in bedrooms back
in the days, and is called a "nun and priest". It's an Italian bedwarmer to brighten up damp
icy bed. The "priest" is the wooden frame that would
hold up the sheaths and blankets, whereas the "nun" is the tiny furnace or pot that
used to be the warmer. It was not only common in the Italian peninsular
but also in the South of France where we are right now. Well, I cannot walk in this part because the
floor is very unstable and there's not much interesting to see anyway. But this room is very beautiful! There's so much natural decay. Actually, a bedroom, and that just inside
this part. It's so strange. Whoa! Okay, I have to be careful because there are
holes in the floor over here but... have a look! This is a part of an old musical instrument
- I think from a trombone. Oh my...! And a very vintage radio. Crazy. Also, look at the hat over here. It's just completely digested by insects,
there are just holes in it. The passage of time is so clearly visible
inside this place. Nature has done its job over time, and yeah,
the property is now really forgotten about. I'm really wondering what these things are
that are hanging over here. Well, and lastly, we're going to make our
way to the two last rooms inside this barn. Two little doors with some wine bottles over
here. Wow, and even more wine! Maybe the workers of the actual mill used
to sleep on these floors one day. It's possible that they did this in order
to keep their private home and the working part separate from each other. And this room's in a very bad state of disrepair. The ceiling's near to collapse, many parts
are falling down. There's still the bed itself, but as you can
see, the mattress is gone. Even over there's still a carrier for bullets. It probably was used for hunting one day. But yeah, this is as far as I'm gonna go. Alright, and with that having shown, I want
to close another chapter over here. I really want to thank Mr. Roger and Mrs.
Andree for having us. It was very fascinating and interesting to
learn about these people's history, about their lives, and about the way they used to
live. And I really hope you enjoyed this journey
