Bunkersite.com update: Dieppe and Somme
There’s so much still to discover in Dieppe. The steep chalkstone coast and the concrete bunkers make some beautiful scenery.
We start at the inland Vaudricourt about 70 km east of Le Touquet at radar site “Skorpion” with a big L 479 night fighter control bunker and several radar emplacements. We go further south to Mers-les-Bains where the bunkers, just like everywhere along this coast, are dangerously close to the edge, some even overhanging. South of Dieppe is Le Pont Rouge, at a great spot with some rare bunker types. Back up north to Saint-Valéry-en-Caux and Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer overlooking the high cliffs.

The radarsite Skorpion is really worth taking a look at. Been there several years ago. In the 497 we found lotz of gasmask filters.
