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!

Definitely worth a visit , a great insight!! - Fantastic experience and in great condition.
Very interesting, so many in good working order, you can get a feel for how it must have been. Extremely good value for a 2 hour guided tour of a great bit of 2nd world war history

Great experience - Great guide who masters his subject and demystifies preconceived ideas.
The duration of more than 2 hours passes very quickly.
The work is incredible and still in working order thanks to the volunteers who do a wonderful job.
All middle and high schools in France should organize visits to this type of place.
Well done gentlemen

Very enriching visit - Superb tour of this work which was given to us by Rémy, thanks to him.
Plunged back into the context, we followed the lives of the soldiers through the galleries.
75 turret, 50 cannon, grenade launcher…
And look carefully for block 4 😉!
Passion, heritage, emotions!

Friendly visit to absolutely do - Very pleasant and interesting visit, made by an enthusiast from far away.
Beautiful demonstrations of old machines, well maintained and still in use. Bravo to the enthusiasts who bring it all to life. There is also a torchlight visit planned for August. That's a great idea !!

Fun and interesting. - Interesting tour. Very nice to see demonstrations of some parts.
Unfortunately, all explanations were only in French, which quickly became impossible for us to follow.
A guide in Dutch was available, but that does not compare to the verbal explanation.
