Anyone place this on a Sat map? I had a look but could not find it
Also is it frowned upon going to see such places, thinking of doing a drive through France visiting war site like the D-day beaches etc and would love to see this pen up close.

last summer I was on holiday near Saint Nazaire so of course I just *had* to go visit the base.
Unfortunately, little of it is in its original state. most of the pens have been filled up with concrete and the bunkers have been stripped of everything original.
A few days later I did also visit the Lorient U-Boat base. That one was really gorgeous, much of it in its original state.
However, you can only visit Lorient on a guided tour, no free roaming.
When I get home tomorrow I'll see if I can post some pics
