A fort that remained undefeated during the fighting of 1940
Le Fort de Fermont holds an important place in the history of the Second World War. Despite German attacks in June 1940, the fortification held out until the armistice and remained undefeated.
Even today, several bomb impacts are visible on the fort's combat blocks, a reminder of the intensity of the clashes at the time.
This historical authenticity strongly contributes to the immersion offered by the Maginot Line Museum.
