Guided tours of the Bastion des Forges, a site that owes its existence to Emperor Charles V.

The Bastion des Forges was built by Emperor Charles V, who decided to leave his mark. Vauban added his own personal touch, underground rooms for the forges and, later, powder magazines were added to the fortifications. After its dismantling in the 19th century, all that remains of the bastion is the imposing building visible from the bridge. Since May 2016, they have been listed as historical monuments. Good news for heritage conservationists. Don't hesitate to take the guided tour organised on the occasion of the days of the fortified sites!
