Photo: Pexels Built in the 1930s, the fort took more shells in June 1940 than any other fortification in France without being put out of action. It surrendered only on 1 July 1940, on orders, after the armistice.
Restored by volunteers since the 1980s, it can be explored freely with information sheets: barracks, kitchens, power plant, command post and combat blocks with retractable turrets.
💡 Good to know
It is cool underground all year: bring a jacket and good shoes. Guided tours for groups by reservation.
