Abandoned‑France

Châteaux, abbeys and forgotten buildings, photographed since 2007.

Check out my first book documenting an Abandoned-France via blurb.com Enter the Gallery Articles My name is John and this website you are currently viewing is my personal website, mostly dedicated to my visits around the regions of France looking for different chateaus/abbeys from show winning to complete ruins and other buildings left in a state of abandonment.

I started to document my finds in 2007 as I found nowhere that puts both urban exploration and castles and abandoned vehicles all together, armed with my camera (I have a small habit of breaking afew) I seek out the forgotten lost treasures of France.
