A fortified heritage interpretation center in Avrieux, offering visitors the chance to discover the history of the Marie-Thérèse redoubt.

The Marie-Thérèse redoubt, perched at an altitude of 1500 m, is part of the Esseillon barrier, a series of fortifications originally designed to protect the kingdom of Piedmont and Sardinia from French invasion. Built in the 19th century (from 1817 to 1834), this redoubt bears the first name of the wife (Maria Theresa of Austria of Este) of the King of Piedmont and Sardinia: Victor-Emmanuel I. It is built in the shape of a horseshoe and was used as an avant-garde. Today it houses an interpretation centre of the Fortified Heritage, which allows to discover and understand the very atypical and unknown history of this fortified place, in a playful way. All the museography is available in both French and Italian. Temporary exhibitions, activities, games for children, conferences and even concerts bring this place to life.

Visitato in una giornata con il forte chiuso per fare la passeggiata verso il Ponte del Diavolo. Interessante il parco divertimenti sugli alberi, anch'esso chiuso. Ci tornerò.

Die Redoute Marie Theres liegt wie zufällig am Straßenrand. Es handelt sich um eine große Festungsanlage, deren Besichtigung sicherlich 1 Stunde kostet. Sie ist toll in den Fels hinein gebaut. Man muss sich etwas Zeit nehmen. Insgesamt eine sehr interessante Erfahrung.

Nous voulions faire un escape game lors de notre week-end et nous avions eu un conseil d'une habitante de la région qui nous a dit que ce fort en possédait un. Nous avons donc réservé une session à 10h30 sur leur site internet. Mais quelle fut notre surprise d'apprendre que le fort n'ouvrait ses portes qu'à partir de 14h. Je ne pense pas qu'il soit trop compliqué de paramétrer un site internet convenablement ou alors d'envoyer un email d'annulation si les horaires ne conviennent pas. Une nouvelle horaire nous a quand même été proposé ce que je souligne.
