Step into the history of 1939-1945

At the heart of a unique defensive system, this Maginot Line infantry fort bears witness to a time when French military engineering sought to protect the country's eastern borders.

Now safeguarded by Association du Fort de la Ligne Maginot, it opens up to you like a history book carved in concrete and underground galleries.
