Is urbex legal in France?
Urban exploration is not forbidden in France, but trespassing on private land is an offence (article 226-4 of the Criminal Code in case of breaking in). Entering through an open access point remains a simple civil violation of domicile. Respect no-entry signs and do not damage anything.
