Je recommande vivement cette visite qui sera autant pour petits et grands ( nous 8-11-15 ans). Une équipe de passionnés restaure l'histoire impressionnante du fort. On a l'impression qu'ils sont partis (soldats) hier. Merci pour l'accueil et la disponibilité, Bonne visite


Bernard

A very nice fort worth visiting. Kind volunteers giving explanations (also in English). Written explanations are also bilangual. A "must go to", even if you are not interested in history

L'activité et le parcours sont bien faits. Merci à Didier qui a pris le temps de nous donner des explications avec passion! Les panneaux d'affichages explicatifs disposés tout au long du parcours permettent de se mettre dans la peau des soldats et de comprendre ce qu'ils ont vécu.
