Discovering Project Otro in France

A new skatepark is currently being built in Limousin, tucked away off the roads leading to southern France that should blow your mind today. Project OTRO is an art installation designed by the Korean artist Koo Joeng-A, ordered by the Museum of Modern Art and Landscape of Vassivière, and made to be skateable under the supervision of Brusk.

We have never seen curves quite like this before, take them in and add this to your list of travel destinations this summer. This follows last month’s 164ft mini ramp that opened in Bordeaux and the Zap Ados park that opened in Calais. Start planning that road trip to France this summer as this is just the tip of the iceberg of what is on offer in this wonderful country.
