In France, abandoned by most, revisited by a few

Urban exploration somewhere in France

Francois, a native of Lyon, France, takes us to places we didn’t even know exist. The people who built them have probably forgotten they’re still even there. Thanks to Francois’ pledge to keep the locations secret, we don’t even know exactly where in France they are, just an approximate location. Yet it is these places, the abandoned offices, castles, churches, and factories, that has Francois truly intrigued.

His interest leads him to this kind of “urban exploration,” an adventure to find what others have left behind. A photographer by trade, Francois is able to inject life into each still shot, resurrecting a bygone time in his own way.
