PhotoXplorers follows an adventurous band of guerilla photographers/urban adventurers as they slip behind the barricades to capture haunting images of abandoned buildings and structures from around the world. This episode features a breathtakingly beautiful location which rests just 30 minutes north of Paris. It was originally the home of a French prince and then became a sanatorium in the early 70's. http://photoxplorers.com/
