Forteresse de Mimoyecques

A chilling underground site, dug into the chalk by the Organisation Todt to launch V3 super-gun shells at London. It never fired a shot. Allied bombing raids put it out of action before it could ever be used.

The guided tour descends into the galleries, as close as it gets to History and to the memory of the forced labourers who dug them out. An hour out of time, just minutes from the gîtes.
