Grand blockhaus, Military museum in Batz-sur-Mer, France.
The Grand Blockhaus extends over five levels and 300 square meters, displaying military equipment and documents from World War II within concrete walls.
This German command post, built as part of the Atlantic Wall fortification system, remained active until May 11, 1945, when the Saint-Nazaire pocket surrendered.
The museum contains reconstructed scenes of daily military life, including soldier quarters, radio rooms, and communication centers used during the occupation period.
Adult admission costs 9.50 euros, while children between 5 and 12 years pay 7 euros, which includes access to all five levels and a special treasure hunt.
From the top level, at 28 meters above sea level, visitors can observe the surrounding coastal landscape through a 360-degree viewing platform.
