Great! - You don't need to be passionate about history to enjoy the tour: the Guide is captivating. The association goes to great lengths to maintain this structure and the visit is all the more interesting and very fun.

A Quality Guide and a book full of history - We made this visit with 2 children (1 year and 5 years). The book is beautiful, the guides are very kind and very knowledgeable on the subject. They are open to discussion it was a pleasant moment of exchange and sharing. Time passed quickly we could stay the whole day at the place so there are things to see. I highly recommend the visit, take the time to see this work.

Discovering the Maginot Line - We reserved the visit by chance as it was going out in the possible attractions of Metz. It was a truly exciting experience. The bunker is just over a kilometer long and has 4 casemates. The visit lasted a couple of hours. They showed us the various shooting rooms and common areas (kitchen, generator room, command post, etc.). Particularly impressive is the lifting turret (they showed us the lifting) with the two guns. Everything is located 30 meters underground. The environment is quite cold and very humid. It's really worth a visit and kudos to the volunteers who keep it alive.

Very good visit! - Very good visit, we recommend without hesitation! Very good value for money, the visit does not cost much compared to the time spent and the details/information given by the guide. On the other hand: allow at least two hours and a warm jacket.

It's totally worth it - Incredible! The whole family enjoyed the visit, the facilities and Remie's (our guide) explanations. They turned on one of the generator sets from 1930 that is still in operation, they also showed us the operation of the lathes and drills in the workshop, kitchen, bedrooms and we visited the turret, where they explained to us how it works. It is managed by volunteers, who do a sincere and wonderful job, which is transmitted in the stories and explanations they give. Totally recommended. The visit lasts day and hour and my children did not want to leave!
