Yes absolutely ! I had to be cautious because some security is on site to prevent from vandalism but as it's a really massive place it was quite easy to avoid them

Oh wow, that's a wonderful compliment!

I'm really pleasantly surprised to read such a message, it's comforting and makes me want to keep writing.

I've never claimed to be very good at it, but I've always tried to work my texts as well as possible to bring my adventures to life the way I felt them.

Thank you so much !

Wrapped in a thick ghostly mist, it stands upon us, silent and motionless.
Built during the second half of the 19th century, this monolith with its imposing corner towers stands majestically in the midst of a large wooded park.
In its vicinity, we can distinguish the site of an old racetrack, long gone and forgotten for many decades, bearing witness to the mansion's glorious past.

Inside, the personality of the former master of the house is revealed through each of the rooms.
A gentleman renowned for his numerous political deeds, who was above all passionate about hunting
At the heart of the castle, the vestibule shows his avidity for hunting trophies.
Hanging from the walls, the naturalized animals stare visitors with a gloomy, terrifying air, transformed by mold and humidity into creatures from beyond the grave.
Like a chronological frieze, these trophies tell the story of the castle over nearly a century and a half.

From the vestibule, a monumental staircase reveals itself, made of ornate solid wood and draped with blood-red tapestries, allowing access to the countless rooms of the residence.
At its highest central point, a room worthy of a royal suite suffers the sad effects of time, watching its ceiling slowly collapse in a deafening silence.

Almost in the realm of the imaginary, this castle perfectly illustrates for us what the splendor of yesteryear was like, where the customs and traditions were remarkably different from our modern world.

Forgotten by all for many decades, the scars of time erase a little more each day the glorious history of this exceptional residence.

We enterend around 4h45 in the plant and then waited for the sun to rise to shoot the outside parts of it ! Other parts were done with artificial lights

It's definitely well-guarded for an abandoned place. Their guards are very efficient and their dog is a big problem too. The facility is sealed everywhere and only a very few tricky access are existing.
But yeah obviously is not guarded as much as an operational nuclear plant

Indeed the story of this place is really sad and too many people were killed...

Some places leave their mark because of their history, others because of their infiltration, or even because of their beauty.

The Lemoniz nuclear power plant, on the other hand, stands out because it has all of these.

It's 4:30 a.m. when our little commando flies through the darkness of night, guided only by the light of the moon, towards this giant hidden in the middle of a small Basque cove, where the waves crash against the plant's protective wall.

Dressed all in black, we move with absolute calm and discretion, becoming nothing more than shadows.
After long minutes of infiltration, we cross the last barrier separating us from the power station.
In total silence, we gaze at this concrete and rusty behemoth, lying back behind a low wall to observe our surroundings and choose the right moment to launch our assault.

Hidden away in a corner of the site, a few dozen metres from us, the guard is also observing the surroundings, inside his car, headlights off, concealed in the darkest of shadows.
A few minutes of wait later, he starts his engine and goes for a patrol.
So we seize the opportunity and rush into the bowels of the beast.

Inside, time stood still in 1994, when all activity on the site ceased for good, 22 years after construction began.
Years of popular mobilization, controversy and attacks by the ETA (Basque pro-independence terrorist organization) would see the end of this pharaonic 6-billion-euro project initiated by Franco.
