A bunker built by German troops in Saint-Pabu in northern France during World War Two has been restored and refitted as an underground guesthouse.

納粹德國軍隊第二次世界大戰期間在法國北部聖帕比建造的一座地下碉堡已重見天日，並被改造成地下旅館。

Serge Colliou bought up a plot of land there and spent 18 months digging out and renovating the 400-square-meter structure, turning it into rental for up to eight people, complete with bar and living room.

薩傑．科里奧在當地買下一塊土地後，花費18個月挖掘並整修此一佔地400平方公尺的建築，改造成最高可容納8人的出租空間，內部還附設酒吧和客廳。

"We adapted (the bunker) while preserving a certain feel," Colliou said. "We wanted to give the building a second life, so we are not going to live in the past forever. We saved some aspects, you know where you are, there are historic cues, but this isn’t a museum either."

科里奧說：「我們改建（地堡）之際，也保留某種風情。我們想要賦予這個建築第二生命，而不是永遠活在過去。我們保存某部分外觀，你會知道自己身在何處，可以看到歷史線索，但這裡不會是博物館。」

War-time touches in Bunker L479 include helmets, reproduction guns and signs on the walls. Both German and French guests have stayed there since it opened a year ago, Colliou said.（Reuters）

頭盔、改造過的槍枝和牆上的符號等，都是L479地堡的戰爭元素。科里奧說，開幕1年來，德國和法國房客都曾入住。（路透）
