<\/p>\nA veteran "hood explorer" claims his eyes were left "watering" by the overwhelming stench of "human s**t" as he explored a forgotten city.<\/p>\n
YouTuber Spanian was taking a look around some of the most deprived areas of the French capital Paris. He states: "I\u2019m watching if I step on a f****** syringe \u2013 why the hell did I walk here what was I thinking?\u201d \u201cPoorest part of Paris,\u201d or Clichy-sous-Bois is located around 15km east of the city centre and in the words of Spanian is \u201cthe middle of nowhere\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow miserable to be so isolated \u2013 no trains, no major roads,\u201d he said as he first walked into the commune, which was the epicentre of the infamous 2005 Paris riots which rocked the capital for three weeks. \u201cNo wonder they\u2019re kicking riots off,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Throughout the video, one recurring theme is that some of the apartments in the huge housing blocks \u201clook like they were on fire.\u201d He later added: \u201cIt\u2019s just a consistent thing that buildings all look like they\u2019ve been on fire at some stage."<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s pigeons living in one of those,\u201d he says as he zooms in on an upper-floor flat with no windows and what looks like black soot marks on the wall around it.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery car here\u2019s like abandoned and burnt out,\u201d he says, pointing his camera at two side-by-side motors with no headlights and missing a number of features. Many of the flats in the huge looming towers are clearly smashed, while grass and weeds sprout up through every crack in the ground possible.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
One of the apartment blocks is open and he walks into the lobby, the ceiling blackened. \u201cIt\u2019s like every one of these buildings has been set on fire but people just continue to live in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
He walks into a near-empty shopping centre, barely any shops are open and a handful of people loiter in the chillingly-empty concourses.<\/p>\n
As he walks through another block, again seemingly burnt in the past he shudders. \u201cThat was human s***.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Inside the lobbies, there is graffiti, and poo, in abundance. \u201cThese are the worst condition flats I have ever been in,\u201d Spanian says. \u201cIt\u2019s like there\u2019s no attempt anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
He later makes his way around the back of another block, past a burnt-out car. As he walks he notes: \u201cThis place is crazy \u2013 the whole place smells like human s*** I\u2019m not going to lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As he reflects on the neighbourhood's troubled past he finds photographs from roughly around the time of riots plastered into a cracked bit of walling. There are few people about as he makes his video and by the end of it he seems desperate to get away. <\/p>\n
