Museum about the fort during the World War 1. 5,50 € per head normal price. About 1h30 minutes to visit. Plenty of items, short movies, interesting!

Outstanding great collection of pickelhaubes. Interesting WW1 history place. It's definitely worth a visit.

A word war one bunker turned into a museum. It has multiple world war one artifacts, but certainly the most impressive for world war one enthusiasts, is the collection of Prussian helmets. The museum itself and bunker are not huge, so the visit can be limited to couple of hours, however the location is just off the highway which make it for convenient for a stop.

This is one of the places I've enjoyed the most while visiting Champagne. The display in the main corridor outlines the history of the fort and the progress of World War I in general. The smaller rooms along it are filled with either collections of weapons, uniforms and other objects or dioramas, all of this well made. The outside portion of the fort has plaques describing what-is-what as well. There are a few interactive bits and some footage from the time period, and a lot of objects such as postcards, novelty items, posters, everyday items etc. So it gives you a lot of perspective both on WWI as a whole and in a more "close" or "human" sense. My one complaint is something that I've noticed in some other museums in France. The displays in the main corridor are in French, English, German and even Braille (French, I assume). Alas, everything else is in French only. This isn't much of a problem if a plaque just says "French cavalry helmet", but there were some items that had additional explanations given and I feel like I could have learned a lot more. Google won't let me take half a star away, though, and other than this I think this is a great place to visit, so I'm giving it a five. Some two-three hours seems like a good estimate for how long a visit takes. Well, maybe four if you are very thorough.
