BIG BASIN NEAR LANCON DE PROVENCE

29.04.2021

Where the Autoroute du Soleil runs, the sky merges into hills of scrubland.

At the height of the Lançon-de-Provence motorway station, despite the consequent motorway right-of-way, the physiognomy of the past landscape is still present.

Cut in two, a vast estate included around, in addition to a superb castle being protected by an anti-noise wall, a farm, farmland in abundance its lot of outbuildings.

A few centuries after the construction of the complex, the road divided into two spaces the estate.

On the side where the cars go up to the north, a vast basin is sad: deprived of water.

Not that the latter is unfit to contain the precious liquid but rather that at the end of the highway works completed in 1970 its uselessness was consecrated.
