The secret base of Mimoyecques, a site of history and nature carved into the chalky massif of the northern Boulonnais region.
The Fortress of Mimoyecques, nicknamed the "London Cannon", is a fascinating and emotionally-charged historical site located in Landrethun-le-Nord, Pas-de-Calais. This underground base, designed by Hitler to house a V3 cannon capable of bombing England, bears witness to the scale and folly of the Second World War. Destroyed by the Royal Air Force in 1944, the fortress today offers a breathtaking journey back in time!

The ratings and reviews below reflect the subjective opinions of members and not the opinion of The Little Witty.
The information panels inside the tunnels explain everything in several languages and although the path is slightly uneven as expected, there are no steps inside.
This is a place of important history and the staff do a great job of answering any questions. Visit for sure!
