Abandoned Places VI: Goussainville-Vieux, a French Ghost Town

Just outside Paris in the north, under the Charles de Gaulle flight path lies the remnants of the town Goussainville-Vieux. A few months ago a friend and I went to check it out, and last week Atlas Obscura asked me to write about it for them. The article is here with some photos I took whilst there.

For more photos of this truly eerie place, see my gallery here. I took so many photos it was almost unreal! I am hoping to go back again at some point, better armed with flashlights etc so I can take more pics in the slightly darker rooms that my poor ol' camera couldn't handle last time (rookie mistake!).

First Article Published on Atlas Obscura

A few weeks ago I went to check out La REcyclerie, a re-purposed train station on la petite ceinture, now a cafe, at the request of a friend from Atlas Obscura. You can find the article here. Of course it being part of the abandoned railway, and also serving decent herbal tea/coffee/hibiscus juice and homemade food, has made it an instant fav and I WILL be dragging many more friends up there soon...
