"Le Bois des Huit-Rues houses a group of buildings connected by concrete tracks. The Bois is one of the 96 first generation sites built by the Germans 1n 1943 to launch V1’s against London. The peculiar shape of the three large storage buildings as seen from the air, led the British to christening them “ski sites”. Despite heavy bombing by the allies, the site remains in very good condition and most of the buildings survive." see
