Strategic defensive element whose construction was ordered by Grand Admiral XV in Saint-Pierre-Quiberon

In 1747, the Duke of Penthièvre, Grand Admiral of Louis XV and Governor of Brittany, ordered the construction of this strategic defensive element. Renamed Fort Sans Culotte during the Revolution and rebuilt in 1841, the building became a military prison for German soldiers and then part of the Atlantic Wall during the Second World War. The bodies of 59 martyrs from Morbihan are walled up in a tunnel that has become a place of remembrance. Today, Fort Penthièvre belongs to the Ministry of Defence and is home to the3rd Marine Infantry Regiment.

Superbement situé en côte sauvage, dans l'isthme qui relie Quiberon au continent. Ambiance de mémoire même s'il n'est pas possible de visiter sauf lors des journées du patrimoine.

Impossible de visiter ce lieu en dehors des Journées du Patrimoine. Néanmoins la visite vaut le coup, elle permet de découvrir une partie de notre patrimoine militaire et de notre histoire. Situé pile entre la côte sauvage et la baie de Quiberon, le spectacle y est unique!
