The third largest fortress on the Maginot Line. It was built between 1930 and 1940 and named after the Minister of War André Maginot.
The sightseeing tour lasts 20 minutes and includes a film screening
approx. 2.5 hours. It will be approx
3km covered at 10 degrees ambient temperature.

It was truly beautiful and very informative. The German tour, which takes place on weekdays at 2:30 p.m., is very well done and very informative. The lady who led us through the tour told us many anecdotes from former soldiers stationed there, bringing history to life. The tour lasted a good two hours and was definitely worth it.

The tours are available in French and German. Very interesting, a piece of contemporary history and memorial. Reservation recommended.
