Visitor comments
- "Probably one of the only parts of the Maginot line to remain intact" - Trip Advisor
- "By far one of the best preserved of all of this fortification. I can only advise the discovery of this unique place that in addition offers an exceptional view." - Trip Advisor
- "Sospel is directly dominated by the mountain of Agaisen (750 meters). It is reached by a narrow road, old military road that served the artillery fortification of the Maginot Line of Agaisen... the tops of the combat blocks are impressive" - Trip Advisor
