FORT DU PETIT BÉ
Go there and contact
A fort set in the past of Malouin and at the heart of great maritime battles, with a panorama as striking as its history.
Le Petit Bé takes you back to the past of Saint Malo, to the heart of great maritime battles. Its history has left its mark on the minds of visitors, and the panorama of the Grand Bé just opposite. Commissioned by Louis XIV, the architect Vauban reinforced military fortifications along the French coast, including Saint-Malo, the future leading port of France. Guided tours present the bay's defense systems, an exhibition on the tidal mechanism, models of the bay's five forts, three cannons on naval carriages and an exhibition on Vauban in Brittany.

Pour y aller, on y va par marée basse, nous sommes arrivé la par un super temps sans un nuage à l'horizon.. après 20 minutes un "grain" est arrivé.. Avec brumes et pluie (température descendue de 10 degrés environ). Sommes reparti alors que la marrée remontait et elle a été plus rapide que nous... Résultat, on a fait demi-tour, sommes remonté près su du guide.. et sommes reparti en bateau avec lui, son collègue et son chien... Expérience inoubliable :)
Visit and access to the height only at low tide.
It is a surprising place or reigns an atmosphere full of history.
The entrance is paying. Very interesting for children.
To recommend
On y accède par marée basse, mais attention de ne pas se faire piéger par la marée montante qui est très rapide et qui peut vite vous encercler.
Attention toutefois, c'est compliqué avec une poussette.
