La Coupole, History museum in Helfaut, France.
This massive concrete dome structure contains underground tunnels and galleries dedicated to World War II history and space exploration at the History Centre.
Between 1943 and 1944, Nazi Germany constructed this bunker complex as a V2 rocket launch base targeting London during World War II.
The memorial wall displays 8,000 names of victims from the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region who experienced deportation or execution during German occupation.
Located 5 kilometers from Saint-Omer, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 18:00 and features a modern 3D planetarium with immersive space presentations.
The facility connects wartime technology to space exploration through exhibits about Wernher von Braun, who developed V2 rockets before contributing to NASA missions.
