Exhibition accompanying the visit to a World War II air raid shelter Discovered in 2015, this shelter was built in 1939 to ensure the protection of the population in case of air raid. After restoration, part of the shelter is proposed for visit. This shelter is a singular testimony of the living conditions of civilians during the war. Built to protect the 400 children of the only school in Bourg-la-Reine from being bombed, the shelter, which follows a so-called "rack and pinion" layout, complies with the passive defense recommendations issued before the war by the French government: a corridor broken by right angles in order to mitigate the effects of the bombs. A support exhibition presenting the history of the construction of this shelter and the local context precedes the free visit. Informations For security reasons, groups of 20 people will be set up.
