    The construction of the Mont-Vaudois fort took 3 years between 1874 and 1877. In 1885, the invention of the torpedo shell, I suppose, bombarded the fort from above and led to the construction of an underground bunker as a defense. In 1944, faced with the advance of the Allies, a German unit occupied the fort and was driven out without success, despite a barrage of 3,000 shells. The Germans withdrew on their own. A testimony of this bunker built in 1885.
