Coquelles, behind Fort Nieulay.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Stp. 88 Glan.

This major fort can be found west of Calais in the small town Coquelles.
We haven't visited the fort itself, but we have found a 680 casemate at the backside of the commercial-centre. When you have entered the village, take the major road to the coast and then turn to the right, straight on the parking place of the supermarket. Park the car there and then walk on a small path into the fields. The bunker is well hidden and is totally overgrown by bushes and threes. The bunker is covering the west side of the fort and is part of its defence system.

Types:
1x 680 Embrasured emplacement for 7.5cm anti-tank gun without annexes.

Coquelles, from D940 to Calais Dique Royale.
AOK 15, KVA C, KV.Gr. Calais, Wn. 18 Schwan.*

Driving over the D940 from Calais towards Sangatte you can go to the left over a small road trough the meadow. This road leads you in the direction of the Calais Dique Royale where two other Wn's are situated.

*) We think it is Wn. 18 Schwan by looking in the book from A. Chazette, Atlantikwall Mythe ou Reality, on page 82. On the map we found this location and probably the correct name. No other sources found.

Right and left of this small road are some small Fa buildings to find.

Types:
1x Fa personnel shelter.
1x Fa garage.
1x Fa storage.
