Batterie d’Azeville

The Batterie d’Azeville was another part of Hitler’s Atlantic wall, designed to prevent an invasion from Britain. The most obvious features are four concrete casements. There are apparently also various tunnels, although it was not obvious how to visit these – the museum appeared to be closed when visited.

One of the casements at Batterie d’Azeville has been quite artistically decorated. This appeared to be inaccessible, on private property.

Some kind of storage bunker.

The steel rebars are visible through the concrete in a few places.
