À visiter absolument

Commenté le 29/01/2025

Super visite relative à un moment cependant peu glorieux de notre histoire. Très impressionnant et interessant. Quelle prouesse technique de construction. Dommage que le petit train qui relie la partie caserne aux tourelles ne fonctionne pas systématiquement. Je recommande vivement !
