Inside the eerie abandoned home of a war fanatic – filled to the brim with old flags, lost military memorabilia and even a full-size CANNON
INCREDIBLE pictures show inside the eerie abandoned home of a war fanatic which is filled with dusty memorabilia.
The mystery mansion boasts a huge cannon as a centre piece in the living room that once belonged to a now unknown military history buff.
Eerie images have revealed a stunning time capsule home that has been untouched since it was abandoned.
The haunting pictures show a grand room with walls adorned by a British Union Jack flag and the American Stars and Stripes.
Other snaps show a dusty billiards table, luxury bedrooms and a spectacular mural on a wall depicting people in French renaissance dress.
The shots were taken in France by amateur photographer Florian Michaud, 30, from Paris.
Florian used a Nikon d750 camera to capture the haunting images.
The snapper said: “The images radiate with an aura of the unusual and magic that is brought about the vision of nature taking over decomposition.
“This battle between life and death is what I'm aiming to capture in my photo shoots.
“I fell in love with this kind of scenery and wanted to keep forever what I saw and felt.
“I am especially fascinated by places where everything is still standing, as if inhabitants simply vanished.
“With time, I have become more demanding. I want a post-apocalypse scenery with obvious traces of decay, half-rotten things.
“My work provides me with a profound sense of well-being and enables me to express my creativity.”

And dusty bookshelves and winding staircases give the feel of a mansion straight out of a murder mystery.
The abandoned home seems to have been left untouched since its owner left and Florian explained how he came to stumble across it.
“There's a long stage of investigation in my urban explorations before I can take pictures,” he said.
“Most of the time, field surveying and spotting yield nothing because the location has turned out to be uninteresting.
“Eventually, as I am very persistent, I end up finding a place that's been forgotten yet became magical and off-beat.
“It vibrates with something powerful and out of the ordinary that triggers in me an overwhelming flow of creative ideas and awakens an urge to simply catch the moment.”
