When the last light of October fades, Fort des Salettes is not asleep. In its icy galleries, footsteps still echo but no heart beats. The story goes that a soldier, torn from life, is now wandering around without a soul or rest. Some say they saw him. Others have never come back to talk about it.
Accompanied by a heritage guide, set off on a chilling tour to discover this strange story and mysterious place.
