Projet Darwin is a project space to the South of the river Garonne in Bordeaux famous for its legal graffitti walls: colourful images creep across the sprawling derelict buildings – making the space one of the first lawful abandoned areas that I have visited… An incredible place to visit!! The area includes a big eco garden with eco friendly mobile homes for the volunteers to live in, an impressive indoor skating warehouse, as well as one for BMXers and roller bladers… There is also a great cafe/restaurant and there are frequently events for professional extreme sports people as well as markets selling hand-made products.. A great place to stumble upon and one of the best uses of a derelict area that I’ve seen, not quite lost in the rubble!
