A strong remnant of the Second World War, dating from 1933, a defense system for the railroads and the national road.

This military vestige, a rare testimony to the Second World War accessible to the public in the region, was part of the Maginot Line, designed to defend France against Italian troops. Built in 1933, it protected the railroads and the national road with its strategic equipment: armored gate, technical premises, electromechanical plant and upstream water catchment. The four combat blocks were equipped with firing posts, observatories and grenade chutes, testifying to the sophistication of the defensive system.

A voir absolument. On est replongé dans la seconde guerre mondiale.
Les odeurs, le matériel encore en place, les conditions de vie des soldats qui y sejournaient, tout est là pour vous émerveiller.

On se serait cru 80 ans en arrière dans cette forteresse si bien conservée. Le site est vraiment immense et de nombreux couloirs, pièces et autres escaliers sont à explorer. Les musiques militaires en fond sonore tout au long de l'excursion nous plongent dans l'ambiance de l'époque et le fort est riche en armes et objets militaires de tous genres.
Je recommande vivement.
