View Full Version : WW2 fortifications French riviera
So im about to spend a week in Nice and it would be interesting to visit some old fortifications.
Didnt both France and Italy build a lot of bunkers along the border?
Its hard to find any good info on English on the net so i would be grateful if someone could give me any tips!

You can check here : http://www.bunkertours.co.uk/maginot_-_finding_the_line.htm
As you will be near Nice, look for "Secteur Fortifie Des Alpes Maritimes"
A few pictures from a fort I visited.

Thanx alot olifrog!
The link from bunkertours was just the sort of info i was looking for and the searchword Secteur Fortifie Des Alpes Maritimes gave some really good results!
Im thinking of visiting the museums Gros ouvrage de Ste-Agnès and Gros ouvrage de St-Roch and also some abandonded fort.
Very nice pictures btw!
