Villa With View...

On the Atlantic Landes coast (southern France), where the price of the square meter peaks, one can find a 10 hectare abandoned area, very close to the sea.

This ancient holiday camp might belong to a French ministry that... might have forgotten it?

More than 200 beds in pretty bungalows, restaurants, bars, playgrounds... Everything abandone since the middle of the nineties. A real godsend for the squatters (cheaper than the camping) and... for an urban explorer!

Fortunately most of the place is in a good state, squatters & taggers are well-educated in this region. But the signs of the time are already there: plaster falling from the roffs, outside woodworks are rotting...

A sunny, pleasant, relaxing urban exploration.
