One of the largest military forts in the region, this remarkable fort was part of the defense system of Paris
Built between 1874 and 1877, after the war against Prussia, the fort was part of the Paris defense system, equipped with 64 cannons and able to house almost 2,000 men. In 1944, it was guarded by Moroccan riflemen, before being converted into a prison until 1956. Thereafter, it housed officials from the Ministry of Justice. In 1965, it was taken over by the army. Today, the fort belongs to the Agence des espaces verts de la région Île-de-France. The site can be visited, but is also used as a film set.

Nous avons été ravi de notre visite au Fort de Cormeilles. Bonne idée pour passé un dimanche après midi sympa quand les beaux jours arrives. Une visite gratuite est proposée régulièrement (1er dimanche du mois en générale et lors des journée du patrimoine). Un passionné vous emmène visiter l’intérieur du Fort et vous raconte son histoire. Sur le parking des collectionneurs présentent des automobiles anciennes de toutes sortes. L’ambiance est détendue et on a eu la possibilité de se restaurer car des membres de l’association du fort faisaient un barbecue.
