Ouvrage Fermont, Military museum in Montigny-sur-Chiers, France.
The fortification extends 30 meters underground and contains a network of galleries connecting combat blocks across a 27-hectare area.
Built between 1931 and 1935 at a cost of 77 million francs, this Maginot Line fortification housed 553 soldiers and 19 officers during World War II.
The Association des Amis de l'Ouvrage de Fermont maintains the site and organizes educational programs about military defense strategies of the 1930s.
Visitors use a narrow-gauge electric train to travel 1.2 kilometers inside the fortification, accessing different sections including artillery rooms and command centers.
The fortification contains an outdoor exhibition of artillery turrets from Fort de Brehain, displaying engineering components rarely seen by the public.
