What to expect

The Grand Blockhaus is a former German bunker and command post located in Batz-sur-Mer, France. It was built during World War II as part of the Atlantic Wall and features a unique design with a false roof and brick wall to disguise it as a hotel. The bunker has five levels, including a troop chamber, commander's living room, radio command post, and engine room. Visitors can explore the bunker and learn about its history, including its role in the war and the daily life of the soldiers who occupied it. The Grand Blockhaus also features period scenes with mannequins and original objects from the war, providing a glimpse into the past. The views from the top level are stunning, with a 360-degree panorama of the surrounding landscape
