Le Grand Bunker: Musée du Mur de l’Atlantique

 

Le Grand Bunker: Musée du Mur de l’Atlantique (The Grand Bunker: Atlantic Wall Museum) is a concrete bunker which served as part of the Atlantic Wall: the German series of coastal defensive fortifications constructed to oppose Allied landings during the Second World War following the occupation of France. The bunker was a five-story concrete blockhouse which served as command post and fire-control point for its section of fortifications; constructed by Organisation Todt and located on the heights of the beach, it was captured on D-Day.

The bunker has been wholly renovated, and its rooms converted into permanent exhibits which present the history and operation of the Atlantic Wall’s bunker fortifications.
