The ingenuity that went into the construction of these forts is mind blowing .Incredible that the generators railway and most impressive of all the gun cupolas are still functioning. All thanks to the outstanding work of the conservatores. Once again thank you Tino for bringing history alive. 👍

This was awesome Tino you make a very good tour guide, being a Marine Engineer, Steam & Motor & Mechanic I got quite the rush when you started up that Motor/Generator @ 41:00ish it reminded me of the WWII Ships & Floating Plants I was an Engineer on with them still using the old Telegraph control systems at CFB Esquimalt in the 80s & 90s. These were still working Vessels and still part of the fleet. I'm still old school and would take anything old over this new crap any day so Thank You very much for the Tour. Cheers my friend

I visited the place with my brother, summer 2002. Met a former gunner of the Marine Nationale, veteran of the Suez Expedition. And another, much older man who probably was a 2nd WW veteran. Mister Varoqui, bless you.

Great stuff again Tino thanx. Sorry I missed the premier abut I am working a lot on the bike shed upgrade... getting it ready for insulation, new paneling and then a little heater so I can actually work on the bikes in Winter as well. Darn these fingers, they won't work in winter and trying to use spanners wearing gloves never works

i really don't think there is a lot to say about this video, except for, i can see why Tino gets so excited about these incredible underground forts - and to have one with an operating train, generators that not only run, but power the original electricity system - there is a hell of a lot going on - the transformation between the restored working lifts and guns to the block that had the proverbial knocked out of it by Patton is something else - top marks on an amazing museum and a huge shout out to Quentin for his very detailed walk through - definitely a bucket list location cheers Tino for sharing, keep up the great work

Question for you Tino: Were the yards outside the fort spiked, like we saw in many of the WW1 forts? I'm sure they aren't now, but when constructed. Thank you for taking us through this city that was mostly underground. So very impressive how these systems were constructed. Most of the education that I remember about the Maginot line had said the guns only faced in one general direction. Clearly not the case here and in some other areas. Wonderful to see the working systems of the fort, everything seems in such good condition generally. Cheers to the docents there and your guide for doing such an awesome job.

Yo, Take a look into what FEMA's - former Planning Specialist for Civil Defense Programs - Boyce Wayne Blanchard stated about the "Maginot Line", while referencing "civil defense." (AMERICAN CIVIL DEFENSE 1945 -1984: The Evolution of Programs and Policies )
