Built in the middle of the 19th century, it is one of sixteen forts built around Paris and which was then used to defend the Capital from external attacks. Culminating at more than meters, it is in the shape of an irregular pentagon and could accommodate, in its twenty hectares, more than men. A memorial to fighting France was erected there in by General de Gaulle, near the southern perimeter wall, in order to honor the memory of these men who gave their lives for their country.
Several original elements remain inside the enclosure, such as a crypt converted into a chapel, a building from the First Empire which houses the museum of the regiment of transmissions, a chapel of the first half of the nineteenth century or the castle of Forbin-Janson. Built at the beginning of the 19th century, it now houses the officers' mess. Add to favourites Remove from favourites.
