Description

Accompanied by a passionate guide, you’ll explore the ‘Rapid Dam’, which could block the road in just eight seconds! We’ll trace the lives of the men who worked there right up until 1945.
The Rapide Barrage, a true feat of engineering on the Alpine Maginot Line, could halt traffic in just 6 seconds! Explore the site and discover period military equipment, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at a border under intense tension.
