Maginot Line - Ouvrage Gordolon

Gordolon is a gros ouvrage built between November 1931 and the end of 1936 as part of the Secteur fortifié des Alpes-Maritimes.
The armament consisted of four double machine guns, a 47mm anti-tank gun, four 81mm mortars and two 75mm mortars. The special thing about this ouvrage is the fact that it consists of three floors: entrance (ground floor), a mezzanine floor with, among other things, ammunition magazines and command post and the upper floor with the armaments.

The fortress today:
In 2021, the association "Friends of Gordolon" started restoration work. In 2023, the ouvrage can be visited on special occasions.
