This video will mainly talk about : zeiURbEX episode 29-30, 23, 27, 28
The Youtube channel of this kind lady (Passé Sauvage)
"Hey, nice chapel !"
"It should have been rebuilt during the 19th century, even if a part seems to be very older..."
But, how do you know this church is from the 19th century ?
And, how did you appear into my screen ??
I think inside this chapel, and we're talking about a chapel and not a church because it's a private temple,
i think the inside is old.
Basically, the exterior seems to have been touched up during the 19th century
because the windows are neither Romanic nor Gothic.
They're a kind of mix, we often see that with the buildings of the 19th century.
There are architectural features inspired from the antique style,
in particular the colonnade of capital Corinthian like,
We call this the neo-classic period.
Ah, ok, you know lot of things.
Well, i'm not an architect of the heritage,
but i've got a Youtube channel where i talk about archaeology, a little bit of anthropology.
As i was near, it's happenning well !
Ok, so yes, you probably could help me !
Sometimes i see things on the spots that question me,
but not getting the historical knowledge, i guess i may say bullshits on my videos...
Yeah, pretty bullshits !
...and sometimes i miss the explanations...hey, what ?
Anyway, show me you spots !
As we were talking about that chapel, it owns to the domain of a big castle (episode "château Libébulle").
I wonder, because i didn't find lots of informations about the previous landlords, i wonder who they were.
I thought that if i focused my researches on the patches we can see on the ceiling of the castle and inside of the chapel, that could help me.
At first sight, they could have been linked to the Colbert family,
or maybe linked to Bretagne.
Well, honestly, according to the geographic position of the building, there can't be a link. Strange, isn't it ?
Basically, the question we first have to ask is, what story do we want to tell :
the one of the first builders of the castle, or the one of the last inhabitants ?
I think we can only care about the last inhabitants because that's what your exploration shows.
So, the Breton patch seems to be really ancient, older than the date i gave before (the 19th century).
So we'll have a look on the objects we can see inside of the castle.
So, it seems to me we have here a family, rich but without more, which inherited the castle,
and the tried to keep these patches in view, in order that we can watch them.
We can also talk about the ceiling you saw, with the dates 1885, 1553.
To me, this one couldn't be from the 16th century, nor the end of the 19th.
but it doesn't seem to be true.
The first sensation i had by seeing this castle, was a feeling of fake
enhanced by the view of the fake balconies that you showed us,
The banisters of the decorated windows, doubtless made after the first building.
Ah ? They pretended to be kinda class ?
Maybe.
There is a moment in your video, you show the front, with a tower placed at the very center of the building.
To me, it's absolutely not an original construction, because we won't build a tower in front of a facade with windows.
That doesn't make sense, we won't close the view of an existing window.
So, according to me, this tower was built after.
And still looking at this view, we can see that the left building
isn't absolutely the same than the right one, symetrically.
If you look at the edge of the front, you'll see no plaster.
I think it's intented, it shouldn't be only the wear of time.
And there is also an added edge decoration, that the other build doesn't have.
What does that mean ?
Well, we have to look where is the entrance of the domain.
Maybe the decorated part is the one seen from the entrance < Indeed, the entrance is behind me >
However, the not visible ones aren't well worked.
Because there's no little helps, no need to work things no one will care about.
After, when i go inside, this feeling of fake is confirmed.
Because the furnitures seem to be well-to-do, but in reality, they aren't.
The fabrics aren't rare, for the most ones it's a 70s conception that everybody could afford.
There isn't too rare woods with inlay.
However, we have to care, because maybe the valuable stuff have been moved once the previous occupants leaved the place.
And you're right when you mention the 70s , because it overflows the 70s, inside of this castle.
The fabric at the top of the beds is a typical decoration of this period.
Don't worry, i've got no problem with the 70s.
No problem.
Inside, we found a very lot of magazines about the royal families.
Do you think it's the goal they hope to reach ?
Yes, possibly.
It could have been a family dreaming through royal image
and tried to be connected with a feature of nobility.
But not to speculate about people we never knew.
This analysis is very interesting. So, architecture and furnitures can reveal things about former owners.
Well, is was a building with relatively recent tracks of life.
But can you be as insightful with ruins ?
For example, if i show you "the sheep's manor"...
It's a small manor around of what are structures...and sheeps.
Why this place, why these structures, according to you ? What was is used for, except hosting sheeps ?
Well, i don't thing before, they were hosting sheeps, inside.
Ah.
And i also don't think what you found was the decaying manor.
...Ok.
And it even doesn't seem to be the living place of former lords.
So...what was this place ?
<episode "le manoir aux moutons">
The building you see first could be a cottage that we often see in the Paris area and in Bretagne.
Anyway i think the role of this kind of building is to highlight the entrance of the domain where you are, and to welcome people.
And i think sculpture of dogs on the roof symbolizes this entrance.
Dogs like "woaf woaf, who is coming", you see.
And as you say, the bottom of the building is the more interesting to understand your exploration.
We see big windows (phonetic trick)
big rounded windows previously glassed,
and the stretched shape on the building reminds to what we call an orangery.
An orangerie is a building inspired by the Italian Renaissance
it doens't mean it's from this time but the architectural style is based from it,
and it was used to protect the plants like palm trees and citrus fruits, during the winter.
And arch windows well allows light to pass.
Hey, indeed, when we visited the place with Glauqueland, he identified this machine like a kinda treadmill for oranges.
Instantly we didn't undestand why it was here, but now it makes sense.
To finish with this building, the tympanum, i mean the triangle you have just before the roof,
with the antique medallion inside,
really confirm we're in front of a building made under italian influence.
But all of that is purely decorative.
Have you seen the greenhouse behind the building, too ?
Yes, the presence of the greenhouse is interesting.
By the way i think it's a tropical geenhouse because there is a heater,
and it confirms you are in the garden part of the domain.
A garden wanting to be tropical, or of Mediterranean influence.
And it's very usual, for big domains, to make the visitor taking a path,
to make him/her discover the garden, the water plan, and at the very end, finally, the living place.
Indeed, in spite of nature hidding the wa,y we had the feeling to follow a road.
And at the end was a house.
We can hide you nothing !
Ok, so you know a very lot of things.
I often wonder about stuff i frequently meet on the spots.
The first time i'll see such an object, i'll say "oh it's wonderful !"
Then i see it somewhere else, again and again,
then i guess it should have an essential using, on the time. Or maybe it was a trend !
Let's look this flowered heater.
I first really thought the house was particularly owning it, as the decoration was rather flowered
but no.
This house was really kitsch. But it's just a detail...
I know nothing about cast iron radiators
but i know it's the main way to bring heat, from the 20s.
And the whole heaters are decorated with floral imagery.
Why ? I don't know. My hypothesis is that they are made during the 20s
and at this time, there was the influence Art Deco
and the Art Deco style finds inspiration from shapes of Nature.
Anyway, cast iron radiators are really tough.
Nowadays, lots are still used in old houses. <that toughness !>
When you wonder about heaters, that remains me something you shoul do for your next explorations :
try to notice where are localized the heaters into a house.
Because i think it could bring you informations about the role of the rooms.
We only heat the rooms we're living in.
So if you localize the heaters, you would easily see the places where the inhabitants spent the most time.
For the case of this house, i remember you talk about 2 kitchens.
If it's real, that's probably the most important thing to highlight in your story,
because 2 kitchens may mean 2 families.
2 families ? I had not even thought of it !
Now that you say that, as i tell, all the areas of the house weren't linked together.
If you're at the east, you have to get down in the floor and hang another staircase to join the west side of the building.
So it was split for a good reason.
Yeah, the amazing thing with these old houses, but it's still the case nowadays,
is that nobody can or want to maintain them totally,
due to a lake of money, of time, or of motivation.
So, we can see a lot of manors or castles divided in flats, for sale or rent.
That's what i felt seeing your images.
Moreover, just have to look at a photo of the house to see it : indeed, it was divided in 2.
Ah, i wanted to talk about something we see on your video,
when you go on the last floor and you're astonished by the number of wallpapers.
Well, i don't think you've here a patchwork of wallpapers, you rather see the superposition of planty wallpapers over time.
So you can imagine the number of redecorations the room had got.
All right. A place which saw a lot of different people, so.
I don't know if there was so much people. But in a way, to me, something is wrong,
because we are in an attic.
And no one would bother to redecorate an attic every 5 years.
Maybe it was the room of a nanny, or someone paid to clean the house...
...Or maybe they had a collection of wallpapers, and an afternoon, they said :
"Let's go. We put them all one above the other" in order to...i don't know...
...save space ?
No, it's foolish to say that. It's totally stupid.
I don't know what did they do with their wallpapers.
Inside the house, there was a machine called "chaudière Chappée" (a boiler).
I saw that kind of object somewhere else too. Could you tell me more about it ?
I even don't what does "Chappée" mean !
Well, "Chappée" is the name of the brand.
"Chappée and son" is a society created in 1895, still working today.
But where did you see that boiler ?
In a spot i called "the timeless farm",
By the way just next, was a "Bernard-separator".
Bernard-separator we also find in the "château Libébulle".
Wait wait wait, don't get lost between all the spots !
A separator was used to skim the milk.
That means to separate the cream of the milk, and after if we want we could turn cream into butter thanks to a butter churn.
Ok. It's the kind of object i often see in the spots,
i guess they were daily stuff, usual before.
Let's stay on the timeless farm.
I saw a piano, it's absolutely not the first i see on an abandoned place.
I'm always astonished because a piano costs a lot, and there is a sentimental value !
Well, surprizing.
Several pianists explained me i often found upright pianos,
it's a fragile model, and besides, not so expensive.
A little moving can quickly detune them. So it's easier to let them on site.
I learnt that the piano of this spot, according to its brand, was made at the 19th century !
19th century, my dear lady !!
It seems to shake you up.
I just...don't understand that place.
I can't manage to understand when it was inhabited and gave up, what kind of people lived here...
...a mystery.
Thanks to my dear subscribers, we thought about it together, and this is the hypothesis i could make out.
The house was built during the 30s, given up first. <not the front of origin >
We can note, during the visit, its collapsing, a proof of a soft conception that could have been a reason of its abandonment.
Having a bathroom into a rural cottage is a luxury until the 60s - 70s.
On the old steamer found in the attic
bought, as we can read, at "Le Bon Marché" in October, 1971,
we can read "sent from Dahomey."
Dahomey is the previous name of Benin, during colonial times.
And "Marseille" let believe the steamer made a small stopover in the south of France.
"Cotonou" is the capital of Benin.
The french colonies given back to the countries during the 60s,
we can imagine a former colonist took back that old farm.
Some colonists loosing much when coming back in France, he just adapted measures of safety and put the piano as an entertainment.
The ground, meanwhile, was used a little longer in order to stock farm machines or raise animals until the 80s - 90s.
Amazing hypothesis, isn't it ?
...Meh.
What ?
I don't totally agree.
Basically i've got the feeling there is 2 steps :
First, we have a simply house, from the beginning of the 20s,
we can guess it with the door handles,
the stone kitchen sink stuck in the wall,
and this bathroom made of zinc or enamelled iron
with a marble imitation.
By the way, your hypothesis about the luxury to get a bathroom until the 50s is probably true.
And i didn't really understand why do we have that kind of tub here.
The last thing about the house is that colonial steamer.
We can read "colonial service".
It can refer to the 50s with the war of Algeria,
but that can also be just a postmark, i don't have enough informations to tell you exactly.
The second step about this exploration,
is that the owner of this small house died, or sales the place to a farmer,
during the 80s.
This new owner doesn't seem to be interested by that lovely house,
but rather by the ground around.
In order to build a warehouse,
and, in the previous cottage, to tidy up all his mess.
It's usual that farmers put there mess into old houses.
In this warehouse, you moreover found a lot of machineries for farming activities ;
a trailer, for grain or animal transportation,
a sprayer,
a seeding machine,
a press,
planty sprayers from 85s - 90s,
and all the stuff used to handle the cultures and weed them.
Well, it's slightly different, but we agree on bases !
No, my hopothesis is better.
"My hypothesis is better, blabla..."
..or not !
Finally, we'd never know.
But the more we suggest hypothesis, the more we get lines of thought.
Anyway, i learnt much thing, and i thank you for participation, we'll all go to bed less stupid tonight.
If i've got other questionings about my spots, where can i find you ?
No problem, i was really pleased to have a part into this video, thank you !
And you can find me on my channel, "Passé Sauvage",
where i talk about archaeology, anthropology and history
in order to think about questions touching all of us.
That can be jobbing, feeding, housing, and lots of themes like that.
Great. Thank again, and now all these mysteries are cleared,
we can attack a new year of amazing explorations !
Bye, and happy year 2017 !
Bye !
