Abandoned Underwater City in the French Riviera
An abandoned underwater city that was built by French filmmakers between 1963 to 1965 now lies roughly 30 meters below the surface of the French Riviera. The intention of the filmmakers that built it was to use the city to shoot some scenes for their L’Enfant et la Sirene movie on a real underwater film set.
Unfortunately, they abandoned the plan altogether because an animation studio in Paris suited the purpose better and was used instead. The newly constructed miniature town was therefore abandoned to the elements and was soon forgotten.
