Built between 1930 and 1935, this structure, whose name comes from an old lime kiln built nearby, is one of the most imposing of the Maginot Line. The four kilometers of galleries go down to 30 meters under the ground. They could accommodate more than six hundred men. Visitors will gradually become familiar with the living conditions of the soldiers who walked the earth before them by visiting their dormitories, their sanitary facilities, their kitchens and their infirmary.

Pour les visites, pensez à prendre un vêtement chaud et faites attention aux horaires car sur certains dépliants, il était indiqué visite en français à 10h30 alors que désormais, c'est à 10h00 (à 10h30, c'est une visite en allemand). Bonne découverte !
