PORTALET FORT
A fascinating fort built in 1846 on the edge of the cliff, which was made safe in the summer of 2007.
The Fort du Portalet, perched on a craggy rock face, captivates visitors with its spectacular location and impressive architecture. Built in 1842 by order of Louis Philippe to protect the Pyrenean border, this military structure is a true feat of engineering. Classified as a historic monument in 2005 after years of neglect, it has undergone meticulous restoration, bringing this imposing structure back to life. A witness to some of history's most significant events, notably as a state prison, the Fort du Portalet today offers visitors an experience charged with memory and adventure. It's a memorable visit, and one you'll want to plan with appropriate clothing!
