Worth the trip! - Very interesting visit of a defense structure whose state of conservation is remarkable. In two hours the Guide plunged us into the strange war and the beginning of the German offensive in May 1944. Volunteers maintaining this structure and the contents (guns, turrets, generators, etc.) give a real insight into the soldier's life in this fort.

Must-see. - Visit commented by the president of the association who is a true enthusiast and discovers the history of the Maginot Line through explanations available to all. The visit lasts about 2 hours 30 minutes and it is essential to wear warm clothes, even very warm (temperature 13° with a huge humidity!).
A must-visit because if we know the existence of the Line, we do not imagine the complexity and size of the structure..And Michelsberg is only a tiny part of it.

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.

Great and highly recommended - We loved it. We knew about the Maginot line but we would never have imagined its magnitude. Extraordinary restoration and conservation work they are doing. 100% recommended.
I don't give it a 5 because they should be better prepared for non-French speakers, some kind of audio guide would be fantastic.
