Created between 1935 and 1940, the Sarre defensive sector, more commonly known as the aquatic Maginot Line, utilizes natural watercourses and rivers in flood-prone areas. This Sarre gap was designed to fill the void between two fortified regions: Metz and Lauter. Starting from Sarralbe, famous for its Saint-Martin church nicknamed the cathedral of the Sarre, whose two Gothic spires soar 70 meters high, the route continues through the ponds to Puttelange-aux-Lacs, towards Sarreguemines.
