If you look at this write up from the Daily Fail
Goussainville: Inside the French ghost town abandoned 40 YEARS AGO | Daily Mail Online
Goussainville looks like a good explore. Since the Tupolev Tu-144 fell out of the sky onto the village it has been
slowly depopulating, or so the article makes out.
However I roll up after a long drive to find more cars than the M25 at 8.30 on a wet Monday morning.
Cars are parked everywhere - not exactly deserted then.
So I find the old mansion house,
walk up the steps and look in.
Don't know if this has ever happened to anyone else on this forum but I simply couldn't be arsed to climb in.
Crap everywhere and mindless graff over every available and even hard to reach surface.
Go round the back and was just as nonplussed
& this is why people have moved on. Approx every 3 minutes..
So I'm here now might as well look at the rest of the village.
Here's an interesting door of a kind that seems to be repeated many,many times
Courtyard
& bookseller
Just round the corner I got into a rambling smashed up house. Room after wrecked room with discarded clothes & assorted garbage.
Then upstairs I found a photo album of an African family, all in bright colours looking at the camera like startled rabbits.
Why would anyone carry that all the way from Africa to France and leave it on the floor of some shit hole.
I'd had enough. I couldn't take any pictures, the camera never came out of it's bag.
Decay - fine, abject misery - sorry no thanks.................
Thanks for looking.
