The FRAC Centre in Orléans, France looks like a killer skate spot. Endless wallrides have been designed by architects Jakob + MacFarlane for this incredible new build they call The Turbulences made from a huge amount of faceted aluminium panels that also light up with LED lighting at night. The next time you visit Paris, take a trip 111 kilometres southwest for a session.
