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

Overlooking Modane, Fort de Saint-Gobain is part of the Maginot Line of the Alps, built between 1933 and 1939 to watch over the road and railroad to Italy. Comprising five blocks linked by 250 m of underground galleries, it could house 150 soldiers in total autonomy. Now open to visitors, it can be explored along a signposted route. The fresh, unspoilt atmosphere plunges you into the military life of the 1930s. An unforgettable stopover, between memory and heritage, in the heart of the Maurienne mountains.

Lieux très froid, environ 1h de visite, mais je vous conseil de prendre le polaire qui nous prête avant de commencer. Certains endroits sont à couper le souffle notamment la salles d'armes. je ne vous en dit pas +
Bonne visite.
