Now, before I go on, it’s worth mentioning that there is still a functioning town by the name of Goussainville. It has its own RER stop, dozens of shops and a thriving population. Oh, and it’s barely a kilometer away from the Goussainville I’m talking about today which is the Vieux-Pays (Old country literally meaning Old town). This means that Gous...
A culmination of disaster and fed up residents led to the eventual abandonment of the Vieux-Village. Everything was going pretty swell in the lively village right up until the mid-20th Century. Situated in Val d’Oise, this was a lively town up until the construction of the nearby Charles de Gaulle airport in the 1970s. The new airport, which would ...
Goussainville Mansion
Without a doubt, the biggest draw of Goussainville has got to be the abandoned mansion that lies in a field of its own. A field that was presumably once a beautifully manicured garden! There’s a reason that #urbex has rapidly become one of my favourite hashtags tags on Instagram and it’s that abandoned urban places are just so interesting. What really strikes me is how quickly a place can fall into disrepair after a mere few decades of disuse. The mansion of Goussainville is no exception. It’...
Church of Goussainville
The actual reason that the houses in Goussainville still stand to this day is all because of the Goussainville church. Situated on a mound, rising up from the rest of the village, the area surrounding the surprisingly large church is protected. This means that the houses surrounding it can neither be demolished nor altered in any dramatic way. This 14th Century church of St Paul and St Peter, although protected by the state, is permanently closed to the public. All this, despite a renovation...
Town of Goussainville
Perhaps the strangest quality of Goussainville is that a large portion of the Goussainville Vieux-Pays is still inhabited. Despite years of neglect in some parts of town; notably the church and mansion, other parts of the somewhat derelict village are absolutely thriving. The village is a juxtaposition of traditional values meeting modern culture and the result is a rather eerie mix of abandoned houses sitting side by side with manicured lawns.
And the future of Goussainville? Well, the town may be protected but that doesn’t mean that the future is all too bright. Most of the previous residents of Goussainville Vieux-Pays have picked up their belongings and families and moved to the new town of Goussainville. A town which is notably not under the flight path of an international airport.
