Take a guided tour of Sainte-Agnès and discover the Maginot Line Fort, an exceptional military heritage!
It buries itself under more than 55 meters of rock in a submarine-like configuration. There are 2,000 m2 of galleries and underground chambers, with ultra-modern equipment for the time.
The Fort had a formidable firepower and is the most heavily armed in the Southern Alps. With 372 men, Fort Ste Agnès played a key role in France's only victory in the fighting of May-June 1940. Blocking the Italian advance to Menton.
3 ammunition rooms have been fitted out, presenting the excavations of the castral site from 963, the Battles of the Alps, and the history of our region's frontiers.
