Come with me discover the world of abandoned places and discuss my practice of urbex and photography.
In 2025, I am organizing a tour in each of the following four geographic areas:
The tours are planned for four people and last four days. Departure and return in Paris.
THERE ARE ONLY 16 PLACES !!
What is included in the proposed rate: vehicle, gasoline, tolls, hotels, breakfasts.
Here is an overview of a typical day: in the morning we get up either with the sun or to be at the first place at sunrise. We visit abandoned places until a short lunch break. We then leave again until sunset. Unlike lunch, for diner we will sit in a restaurant and enjoy a moment together to discuss the day, everyone’s feelings, expectations, etc. You can also ask me any questions you want.
Examples of places in the North-West area
We will not cover the areas in their entirety. On the contrary, if at the time in question, enough places offering diversity are accessible in a more restricted perimeter, we will make sure to travel as little as possible. The less we drive, the more places we visit. But be careful, do not neglect the car journeys to chat and ask me all your questions you want because in the evening you will be tired!
Examples of places in the North-East area
North-West : From April 30 to May 3 2025
North-East: From July 9 to 12 2025
The dates of the two tours in the South will be announced soon.
If you wish to be informed in priority or to be put on a waiting list, please send me an email via the contact form on this site.
I am used to leading groups to these type of places.
After having visited the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone three times alone, I have been leading groups there since October 2018. I have taken six of them for periods of three to five days. These visits have been suspended since the invasion by Russia.
Some feedback from participants:
All the following feedbacks are translated from French
“I had an incredible experience during this trip, led by a person who knows the points of interest and the history of the places very well. Agile in the face of the vagaries of time, weather and others, I have absolutely no regrets! When are we going again?” Renaud, May 2021
“Jonk is an excellent organizer of tours in Chernobyl. The one I participated in was exceptional in several ways: the experience first, the site lives up to its history and our expectations. Then the organization, we just have to enjoy it, everything has been thought out in advance by Jonk to make our stay easier! The explanations, Jonk strives to tell us about the places we discover and his many stays there have allowed him to uncover treasures (old frescoes, unique places) that we would never have been able to find on our own. The experience is all the richer for it! Finally, the group, we didn’t know each other, but the good understanding was proven from the first dinner spent together.” Romuald, May 2021
“Amazing experience, a visit full of emotion, breathtaking. Thanks to Jonk for his great work!” Valérie, February 2019 and May 2021
“Fan of Urbex, I had dreamed of going to Chernobyl for years and I was lucky enough to meet JONK who allowed me to realize this dream. 5 days of immersion in the forbidden zone with a small group allowing the visit of many sites in complete safety and conviviality. His knowledge of the site and his connections allowed us, despite the last-minute changes to be integrated due to local constraints, to make these 5 days rich in discoveries. Thank you for this immersion that I can only recommend.” Emmanuel, September 2021
Some group photos in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
Since February 2017, I have also been guiding days in wastelands near Paris or in surrounding regions. I have conducted a dozen of these days with groups of one to nine people.

“I had the chance to participate in urban explorations with Jonk for a day and discover an unusual place with a special atmosphere. An exciting activity that this artist shared with us and where we took an incredible journey through time” Mickaël, June 2021
“Our experience of wastelands with Jonk was super exciting, thrilling and surprising. He knew how to keep us safe and in good condition so that we could fully experience it. Discovering his world on the ground was very inspiring. Showing nature reclaiming its rights in abandoned places is magnificent!” Benoit & Anastasia, June 2021
“I had an extraordinary day in wastelands with Jonk. Everything was very well organized, the group was small enough for us all to enjoy it and above all the experience lived up to my expectations. Lots of walking, lots of exploring, advice, anecdotes and all this in a very friendly atmosphere! Thanks again!!” Magali, June 2022
“5 stars, it was really great, a good mix of walking, exploring, photography and sharing! To do again with pleasure.” Candice & Baptiste, April 2023
The price of the tours will be announced soon.
