Two urban explorers, the narrator and Okos, embark on a journey through France, visiting various abandoned places, including castles, houses, and a floating art installation. Along the way, they share their experiences, observations, and insights into the history and condition of these abandoned structures. They also engage in light-hearted banter and challenges, such as a game of pool with vintage equipment. The explorers reflect on the importance of documenting these abandoned places before they disappear or become overgrown with vegetation.
