We've been away camping near Brest for a week, during which we visited this excellent museum located in a former German artillery observation and command bunker near Plougonvelin, not far from Pointe Saint-Mathieu. It really is a very impressive museum with numerous exhibits and a lot to see, let alone the restored interior of a very large piece of the Atlantic Wall. It's a bit of a way to go but not too far if you are in the vicinity of Brest or if you take a day trip detour from the ferry port in Roscoff. Anyway, here are some more pictures and a link to the museum website, so you can see for yourself:
Fascinating stuff! I look at the photos of the bunker model and think about gaming over it with a Commando or paratroop raid. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your adventure. Reminds me of many a happy time spent exploring the German fortifications in Jersey.
