Chateau Singes Nov 14 (Now with history)

[DirtyJigsaw]

Hello All,

Its been awhile since ive posted a report, but i can assure you i have been busy exploring.

This one was visited on a surprisingly sunny November day and on a 1 dayer, leave at 3am, get to location at around 11:45am, and then get back home at around 21:30. Long day indeed!

Visited with 8 non members, yes EIGHT! One of my mates had a Broadcast Media student contact him and asked if he could make a short, 10 minute documentary on Urban Exploring, so it was very strange picking this guy up in the middle of the night and driving to France with a camera in our faces en route to location. Very strange being interviewed and being asked questions as to why i explore, and what i find interesting about it etc.

No history of the place im afraid

On with the photos, ill add afew edited shots at the end of the report too but i like to show the place as i saw it.

Nice little place this, I enjoyed my visit here and it was also my first non UK site. Great snaps mate as well.

I have heard on the grapevine that this place has been sold but if that is true or not I am unsure. A photographer who uses this place for a lot of model shoots mentioned the above to an explorer who then past the info on to myself. He may just be saying that to try and stop explorers interrupting his shoots.

Also I have read that the owner lost his money betting on horses and now resides in a care home.
