The remains of the Réveils Bayard watch factory in northern France. Active between 1867 to 1989 and demolished in 2013. The grounds were contaminated with traces of Radium and Tritium from the paint used for the clocks' luminescent details. The demolition had to be accompanied with sanitizing the grounds. The area is now a park with a running track.
Vast and mostly empty halls. Making alarm clocks was apparently space demanding.
Roof falling, plants growing.
Plenty of sunlight let it, then and now.
Graffiti-plants moving in alongside the more bio oriented ones.
Here only regular bio plants.

Workshop.
Roof remains.
Quel bordel.

Flaky floor.
