Summary

Have you heard of Goussainville? It's an abandoned village right next to the Charles de Gaulle airport and it has quite the unusual back story.

I paid a visit with a film crew to find out more. What's actually there and why is it abandoned? Does it live up to the romanticized hype of bloggers and urban explorers? And the ultimate question: is it worth visiting?

Find out all the answers to these questions in this week's episode, with special guest Lovely Lina.
