Physiopolis was born in 1928, out of the idealistic vision of two hygienist doctors, the Durville brothers, who wanted to create a special place dedicated to the philosophy of naturism. They extolled life in harmony with nature, the development of mind and body by sports, and curing people by sun, water, phytotherapy, prayer and faith. It was the city of Nature, and perhaps the first idea of a natural resort. People could live in tents, later in bungalowas, participated in all kinds of activities and sports, celebrated the sun in a yearly festival.Physiopolis was first railed and mocked in the press because of nudism, but it was very successful. A hotel and pool were built, as well as cabins later (see my other photos, Hotel de la Plage). The complex was very popular until the 1980's and then the activities diminished and the hotel and pool were sold to a private developer to try to build again a huge leisure resort. Due to legal hassles and loss of economic activity and being situated in a flooding zone, the whole property is abandoned now.

A.K Garden in Boulogne. Exquisite alleys, Japanese garden and a forest inspired from the Vosges
Shell lead you down a path
Therell be tenderness in the air
Shell let you come just far enough
So you know she's really there
Shell look at you and smile
And her eyes will say
Shes got a secret garden
Where everything you want
Where everything you need
Will always stay
A million miles away

In London, where else. Such a perfect, beautiful morning, classicism and modernity in harmony.

Pentacon 6TL, Volna 3 MC and Kodak Portra 400
The lens is broken and does not focus properly. Yet I have been shooting a whole documentary project with it as it interestingly gives a soft focus look resembling a Polaroid/Pinhole/Autochrome combination. So I am keeping it.
過ぎ去りし時を癒し、
今を生き、未来を夢見なさい。
Heals the past,
live the present,
dream the future.

One of the first shots with the Pentacon Six TL. I think there was just a tiny bit of overlapping on this one. Cropping at 6x6.
