The scarasm in my comment did not come through clearly enough. I don’t hand out location lists.

That photo is taken from close to platform level (un-extended tripod), the tracks are lower so you can’t see them.

Yep, you’ll find a few photos of the Petite Ceinture on this site if you take a look around.

There are not too many homeless people living in abandoned sections of the Paris metro. The abandoned parts are just too hard to access and are pretty much inhospitable.

Congratulations for your Métro explorations ! I

On a pure photographic point of view, I don’t understand the second picture. The question has been asked before, but how did you do it ? There seems to be a train passing, but I can see no railroad tracks.

You probably know about it, but you can find abandoned train stations in Paris too : What we call “la Petite Ceinture” is an old and disused railroad track around Paris. It is not underground but is worth the discovery if you like these kinds of atmosphere… Good Luck !

Hi S Marshall,

I came across your website while searching google for ghost stations and the likes in Paris since I’m in Paris for (photography)-work for a few weeks. Since I’m shooting some Paris subway series on the homeless people that are jumping in and out of trains to hustle some change from people I figures it would be very nice to visit ghost stations, abandoned places and buildings etc. I just read through the comments and came across yours above. I would very much like to recieve the list you were talking about, if that’s ok with you. Can’t wait to find out about new (for me) undiscovered places that are so nice to take pictures off. If it’s ok with you, you can maybe send that list to hello [at] staygoldphotography [.] com

Thanks in advance and props for your website. Definitely in my bookmarks!

Cheers,

I am writing a paper about underground homeless in different cultures. The idea of homeless people living underground in abandoned subway and train tunnels in New York is very well know. Do you know anything about homeless individuals in Paris living in abandoned or unused Metro tunnels? I have been searching the internet but have not found any sources about it.
