Chateau Lumiere

Priority 7 · Nov 19, 2012

This European Gem was a visit that UrbanX and I had tried to work into a European explore for a few months but could never quite work out how best to do so. So I decided that our last trip to Belgium would have to include this superb site.
The weekend was superb if a little tiring, picking up Lulatahula en route to Dover where we met up with UrbanX and Headflux before boarding the good ship "Get Us to the Continent to Explore". An overnight stop in Calais and we were off and running.
I had always believed that this old Chateau was all about the Staircase, and granted it dominates the site but this site has so much more.
Many many thanks to the un-named Urbexer for help with this site you know who you are

So I guess you want to see the stairs right? Ok then?

Explored as you would expect with Lula, UrbanX and Headflux a superb group on an explore, relaxing after and chatting to while driving too...looking forward to many more explores like this...

Yep stunning indeed....

Blimey, I thought you said you were at work today! My pics will be up next year some time!

Stunning photos mate.
I doubt many people have gone to such extents to get to one explore as you did this... I've done 3 flights, and 36 hours of train to get to one before, but this was probably more hardcore!

It's just amazing the difference in quality of site on the continent, which this, and these photos are testament too.

MmmKay, European conventions here, so no history to this one.
It was the pinnacle of our roadtrip, and had to be…It’s 900 Miles away from my house!
Big thanks to Priority 7, and an anonymous hand for finding it, and of course to P7 for driving.

The very car which enabled us to find the place : )
