This 17th century horse shoe shaped fort is set on a tidal island. It has helped repel at least one attack, when an Anglo-Dutch force tried to invade the mainland in 1695. Though made a historical monument in 1920, it wasn’t until 2000 that efforts were made to clean the fort up.

Today, you can access the fort at times of very low tide, but most people just tend to enjoy its sight from the ramparts of St. Malo. At the fort, you can enjoy a panorama of the Emerald Coast. If you take the guided tour, the guide will explain the fort’s defences, tell you the story of its most famous attack, and of military life at the fort. The tour lasts about 30 minutes.
