Blockhaus DY10, Military bunker on Île de Nantes, France
The Blockhaus DY10 consists of two identical sections with multiple rooms, positioned at 5 Boulevard Léon-Bureau between Allee Assia-Djebar and Rue La Noue-Bras-de-Fer.
German forces constructed this reinforced shelter between 1943 and 1944 to protect military personnel and local shipyard workers following intense aerial bombardments of Nantes.
The structure transformed from a military installation to a cultural venue, hosting concerts and gatherings for architecture students and music performances since the 1990s.
Visitors can reach the bunker using Tramway line 1 at Chantiers Navals station or take buses that stop at Gare de l'État and Prairie au Duc stations.
The rooftop space functions as an urban agriculture project where community members participate in beekeeping activities and maintain organic gardens.
