[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 826121, member: 53455"] Occasionally, it can be fun to do a bit of what they cal “urbex”, for “urban exploration” —i.e., going in abandoned buildings or industrial sites (often, if not always, trespassing to do so) to take photos. Genuine urbexers (“Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints”) are a tight community that despise taggers and other so-called and self-styled “street artists”; it is not easy to become part of it, but it is the only way to learn about good sites, since the locations are never made public. It is especially true about places like this one, which are still untouched by taggers —or at least, was when I visited in 2014. It is only known by its nickname, Château-Lumière, meaning Castle of Light, because of the well of light set in the rooftop. This is a 1920s mansion, still in amazing condition.
