Overview
The hangar was built by the French Navy to house airships used to escort convoys and locate submarines and mines during the First World War. After this first crucial period, the Hangar served in turn as a Marine artillery school, a logistics site for the Germans and the Todt Organization and for the Americans as a huge repair garage for American vehicles. All these occupants left numerous and remarkable graffiti there.
