The Second World War in the Vendée. Take a unique, immersive tour of an authentic 350m2 blockhouse for a thrilling journey back in time!

Discover the history of Les Sables d'Olonne from 1939 to 1945 through illustrated explanatory panels, an educational film and life-size scenes with mannequins all dressed in period costume.
