Grandeur and Decay in Auvergne

I got pretty obsessed with shooting buildings and houses during this trip. So many buildings have these Art Deco/Art Nouveau touches. Auvergne is full of thermal towns, they were very popular during the 1910's/1920's, hence the Art Deco/Art Nouveau.
Can you spot the kitten on the picture above? That's actually why I took the pic. This and this absolutely gorgeous blue window.

I liked this house and the vegetable garden that was in front of it.

 The entrance to this hotel was beautiful but the hotel was closed, possibly for good.

We had a giggle at the name of this one, especially since the town was pretty deserted and lots of shops were out of business and desolate. It was a nervous giggle more than anything.





 

Clermont Ferrand Cathedrale.



 

 
Beautiful balconies.

This huge hotel was left to rot. It was in the town of La Bourboule. You could see the sky through the top windows because the roof had completly collapsed.
 
 


I loved this house! Everything about it!



My pictures don't do this beautiful villa justice.
You can look up 'Villa Lise Clermont Ferrand' on Google and find much better pictures. You can also find it on Google streetview. It's pretty impressive and crazy looking.
