Question 32200 — property

Summary

Mr. Daniel Labaronne alerts the Minister of Culture to the practice of urban exploration, known as “urbex”, which is taking on worrying proportions. Precisely, this activity initially consists of visiting places built and abandoned by man, but also places that are forbidden, hidden or difficult to access (industrial sites, metro tunnels, catacombs, etc.). However, due to its relays on social networks and online video platforms, this practice now extends to buildings which are in reality in no way abandoned, but well inhabited. This has notably been the case on several occasions for classified or privately registered historical monuments, as long as the latter are isolated without a regular presence on site. However, in such cases, you should know that these people enter monuments without authorization to explore and most of the time distribute photos and videos on the internet (online forums, Facebook, etc.), sometimes even including the location of the monument. This sharing of experience can be accompanied by advice on how to enter the building without being spotted, thus encouraging people to visit it. Unfortunately, these “visits”, which are nothing other than a violation of private property, are often accompanied by damage. Not to mention the liability risks for owners or cases where this information is used for burglaries. However, several websites list castles and residences (under code names): urbex factory, ue4sale, urbex social, etc., some also selling the GPS coordinates of said buildings. This is not acceptable. This is the reason why, in this context and in the face of these dangerous practices and irregular, he asks her what she plans to quickly prohibit the relaying of this information on these websites and to protect the owners of the private historic monuments thus targeted.
