The opening of the Maginot Line—Four de Chaux—this entrance is deceptive. The tunnels are 100 feet underground and the temperature is 54 degrees all the time. You’ll find a kitchen, an infirmary with surgery equipment and a dentist, a movie theater, and also SO MUCH military artillery.

Our guide, who, thankfully, knew the ways through the tunnels.

The soldiers entertained themselves with artwork! Mickey Mouse was huge in the 1930’s.
