If someone had told me that the Camargue had one of the most incredible urban art sites in France, I really wouldn’t have believed them. The Camargue and its infinite spaces, the beauty of the Giraud salt marshes at sunset, the wild horses, the meadows with their bulls, it all smells of unspoilt nature, untamed by man, rather than spray paint! But then I heard about an abandoned Urbex site, a rice factory with a dark history, and two friends stumbled across it by chance and sent me some photos… I immediately recognised the signatures of urban artists from the South of France, who also put up their work all over France. My blood ran cold! I absolutely had to discover this place, which looked more than promising! So it was with my Girl Scouts that I decided to venture in, because I knew in advance that these abandoned places could be dangerous!<\/p>\n

Entering the Soleil Levant rice factory is to feel the troubled past of these abandoned premises!<\/h3>\n

Don’t worry! I didn’t open any padlocks with a pair of pliers ;-). When you arrive in front of the rice factory, the building facing the road is rather small. The rusty signs still show the old typography and it’s been a long time – since school – since I read the name \u00ab\u00a0Franco-Indochinoise\u00a0\u00bb, which immediately caught my eye… You don’t have to climb to get in. To the left of this building, a few metal fences leave a royal way for visitors. As soon as you set foot inside the site, you get a better idea of its immensity… In fact, a building four and then six storeys high almost tells you to visit it!<\/p>
