Fort built from 1685, placed at a strategic location between the islands of Aix and Madame in Port-des-Barques

This fort is strategically located between Aix and Madame. Built in 1685 and equipped with two batteries of cannons, it is part of the Rochefort Arsenal. Like Fort Boyard, the building became a prison, particularly during the revolutionary period of "La Commune de Paris", housing some 1,000 inmates! It retained this role during the First World War, before being used as a family home. It is possible to enter by accessing the belvedere only, and thus enjoy a breathtaking view or a guided tour.

Fort intéressant à visiter.
Prix peut-être un peu élevé compte tenu de ce qui est montré

Le fort de l'ile madame est situé près de l'entrée de l'ile, via la passe. Il peut se visiter, mais il faut bien faire attention aux jours de fermeture. Désormais, on y retrouve des expositions sur la faune et la flore de l'ile notamment, ainsi que sur le passé de l'ile.

Petite ballade digestive en famille ou entre amis... L'ile madame est agréable. Attention aux horaires des marrées pour ne pas être bloqué. Bonne ballade.
