Avoir absolument
On a l'impression d'être une fourmi avec tous ces couloirs. Les indications sont très bien. L'accueil est parfait et les bénévoles très chaleureux. Beaucoup d'informations et d'anecdotes. Système de réservation, rien à redire. Enchanté de notre visite.
Trés beau fort à voir.
Un fort très bien restauré. Une équipe trés sympathique, qui est à votre écoute , vous explique la vie du fort et son fonctionnement de l’époque. Ne pas oublier les baskets pour la visite. Je recommande.
