Today I visited some WW2 bunkers and fortifications who were part of the Altantic Wall.
Those fortifications are on a cliff surplombing the local town and harbor.
One of the bunkers is now cut in half as the front fell into the beach during the 90's.
The rest of the bunker is still buried deep into the cliff with no access possible by the front of the building anymore.
Battery position on top of the cliff:
Another large bunker who's partially undeground:
The rear of that bunker:
There are two doors with steps going down into the bunker.Each door is faced by a gun port equipped with a sliding steel door to close it.
Looking down the steps, the door of the bunker is on the right not visible from the outside.
Inside the bunker.Besides the light coming in by the doors it is pitch black in most of the rooms.It can be a bit scary if your light fails you once you're deep inside where you cant see the exit.
You can see one of the gun ports facing one of the doors and the steps.
Another battery position overlooking the sea:
Date of construction carved into the concrete in one of the walls:

you go there at your own risks and you need to be a local to know where that is (no signs or anything and not visible from the road and not shown on any touristic maps).
