The Abandoned House from Arthur and the Minimoys: a Cult Urbex Spot
From movie set to urbex location
In 2006, the film Arthur and the Minimoys, directed by Luc Besson, was released.
To bring the fantastic universe to life, some scenes were shot in a country house in Île-de-France, now left abandoned.
This residence, with its unique style and strange atmosphere, quickly became a legend among urbex enthusiasts.
A famous but controversial urbex spot
Over time, the house has attracted many curious visitors.
Unfortunately, a lot of them did not come to admire the place but to damage it:
- Random graffiti,
- Broken windows,
- Destroyed furniture.
👉 At MapUrbex, we strongly condemn these practices.
Urbex should remain a respectful exploration, where nothing is taken and nothing is left behind.
The house’s location
The exact location of the house is available on our website, within our urbex maps.
But we insist:
⚠️ We do not recommend going there without the explicit authorization of the owner.

A symbol of modern urbex
This house is the perfect example of what urbex can generate: fascination, nostalgia, but also excesses.
It reminds us that every abandoned place deserves respect, as it is part of our cultural and cinematic heritage.
Conclusion
The house from Arthur and the Minimoys will forever remain tied to the imagination of cinema.
But today, its dilapidated state also illustrates the downside of uncontrolled popularity.
