The Blockhaus Hospital in Les Sables d'Olonne

A modern building allows you to discover the history of the Sables d'Olonne region from 1939 to D-Day, with illustrated explanatory panels and an educational film, models and life-size scenes with mannequins in period costume. Then enter 20 rooms of an authentic hospital bunker with its operating theatre in action in August 1944, following a naval and air battle off the port of Les Sables, until the arrival of the Resistance forces.
