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...

Visited very recently this place will be gone in a matter of days I dare say, everything else that was standing on the site has gone; the brick air raid shelters in front of the bunker included! Having travelled pretty far from home to see something that has less in I was pretty surprised how...
