Atlantic Wall Museum (Batterie Todt)
Musée du Mur de l'Atlantique
A museum housed in a massive German Second World War gun bunker, displaying uniforms, weapons and a railway gun.
Batterie Todt was a large-calibre coastal battery built by German forces near Cap Gris-Nez during the Second World War to bombard Dover. The museum is housed inside one of the huge concrete gun bunkers and displays uniforms, weapons and documents, along with a 280 mm K5 railway gun outside. It is the most direct way to understand the Atlantic Wall. A visit takes about one hour, and admission is about €9. The museum lies on the D940 road between Audinghen and Audresselles.
