I had high expectations to explore some of the well known 'urbex' parts of the Maginot line, but all the entrances that I was able to find out about were well protected with alarms, cameras and gated up. But I just don't give up just like that and found some nice places still to visit, I want...

Another massive quarry from a trip to France last year. They don't half make 'em big! Bit o history I managed to glean from French websites: The underground quarry of St-Leu-d'Esserent is located in the department of Oise and originally opened for the extraction of limestone for building...
