Providing the still exist and are/or are open to limited access, ie tours etc.
I'm not overly familiar with French geographics. Are you near any of these locations?
Yes I am close, always am. Just got home from italiy, 13 hours by car non stop (exept for fuel, which went quite fast when cruising around 160/170 KM/ hour in Germany).

I have been near the sub base in Brest, when I was delivering a 40 foot sailboat to San Sebastian (Spain) from Amsterdam. One of the crew had to leave the boat back home so we made a stop in Brest and sailed in front of the bunker.

This year I intend to go to Wilhelmshaven, Kiel and Normandy in weekend trips. In Germany there is one type VIIand a type XXI. I want to visit these with my father in law.

If anybody has any intel on what to do and what not I am all ears.

(we should raise a subsim flag in each u-boat museum!)
