We only visited outside exposition and not the itself because we came outside of opening hours. Very interesting for the kids because they see what the is, see the large cannons, see flags of the war participants. The part of the exhibition is the monument devoted to the Russian expedition corps sent to French allies to support the defence. A great of WWI local history, needing two hours to view the militaria on display and the itself. Car parking on two levels, the upper one for disabled visitors. Poorly signposted to find it. Quite poorly signposted from any direction. Good car park layouts for disabled and abled visitors, with a small one over the road. The has a great collection of WWI militaria with three languages to describe them, plus outside walks where one sees how nature has taken over to enhance the beauty of the fort's setting. It was a 2 hour tour for us to give an idea of how much there is to see. You can come even if the is closed. You will obviously not have access inside to see the story, but you can still walk all around the fort. The information and the artifacts are top notch. It is recommended to have around 1 hour to fully complete it and read everything. Parking is avaible for free. Good museum, doable in about 2 to 3 hours time depending on whether you read all exhibits, which are, by the way, available in 3 languages, french, English and German. They also have audio guides in Spanish and Italian. What you'll learn by visiting this place is the daily life and routine of a soldier of WW1. Lots of equipment on display, some weapons, and the biggest collection of German WW1 helmets in the world. Definitely worth a visit. Outstanding great collection of pickelhaubes. Interesting WW1 history place. It's definitely worth a visit. about the during the World War 1. 5,50 € per head normal price. About 1h30 minutes to visit. Plenty of items, short movies, interesting! We entered with a friendly welcome from the staff. After that there is a lot of reading about the history (predominantly world war 1), mixed with a lot of displays of helmets, weaponry, and accessories of soldiers during that time. Definitely a recommendation if you are interested in armies. The on itself was not too interesting. Nice to learn some WOI history Lot of helmets (too much;) mannequins in war outfits Kanon's and artillerie All quite static (it's a museum) Been here twice now would definitely recommend. Very informative, displays amazing,very clean, staff very helpful and value for money xxxxx with full of world war memories, maintained very well by the government of france , youngsters and children's must this place to know the pain of wars. Wonderful WW1 integrated in the old Fort, plenty of good descriptions, awesome artifacts, with tons of unique pieces you probably won't find anywhere else in western europe. The Italian WW1 mannequin is... improvable, but since it's not the main focus of the we justify the oversights ;) 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 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 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 takes. Well, maybe four if you are very thorough.
