Ancienne entrée du tunnel ferroviaire du Fréjus
Built on the occasion of the first breach in the Alps between 1857 and 1871, this former entrance to the Fréjus railway tunnel is located along the Modane-Valfréjus road.
Built at the end of the 19th century to defend the entrance to the railway tunnel, this fort is similar to that of Séré de Rivières. It is worth taking a walk from Loutraz (30 minutes) and admiring the night lights of the fort. Visible only from the outside.
An interactive space of 120 m2 dedicated to scientific culture, an extension open to the general public of the underground laboratory of the CNRS in Modane.
Maison penchée
The leaning house is located along the Modane-Valfréjus road. Formerly called the "powder magazine", it was used to store a supply of gunpowder intended to destroy the tunnel in the event of war. The house was made of dry stone. In 1939, the construction of a reinforced concrete blockhouse was completed. In 1944, the Germans blew up the railway tunnel and the dry stone house collapsed. The blockhouse flew 30 m and, falling, sank into the ground, remaining intact. When you enter it, you can easily lose your balance, because it is leaning at two angles. It is the most visited monument in Savoie. The leaning house is part of the Fort Saint-Gobain museum association. It belongs to the army, the SNCF and the municipality of Modane.
The only Baroque building in the city, this modest chapel, built in Romanesque style at the time, has been completely restored.
Dating back to 1572.
