Very small compared to its neighbor, surrounded by 7 meters wide pits and a terrace for maneuvering

No, it is not a mistake, it is indeed the fort of France, and there is no question of coconut palms or overseas here! When you arrive in Colmars, it is the first fort that you see at the southern entrance of the town. At the end of the 14th century, Colmar, like Entrevaux, became a border town with the Duchy of Savoy (allied to the Spanish) and needed to be protected. In the 17th century, its fortifications were reinforced according to the recommendations of Vauban. This military work was used to watch the city and the 2 sides of the valley.

To visit, beautiful views of the city. It's a shame you can enter only during very limited hours.
