The Tournoux fortress is an important work composed of 6 forts ranging from 1,290 m altitude for the Esplanade Pellegrin to 2,000 m for the Serre-de-l'Aut. The Caures battery, which is open to visitors, is located at 1,800 m. Built between 1839 and 1866, these fortifications of the Maginot line are located on the border of the communes of Condamine-Châtelard and Saint-Paul-sur-Ubaye. They defended the entrance to the upper Ubaye valley from the Arche pass. It should be noted that the forest track of about 2 km leading to it is not very passable

L'accès aux fortifications par la forêt de Mélèzes à partir du village de Tournoux est tout simplement beau ! Nous reviendrons pour la visite guidée assurément!
Découverte enrichissante de ce passé militaire.
Bâti sur son éperon rocheux, il est impressionnant.
N'hésitez pas !
