FORT DU CANON

At the southern tip of the island, you climb to the top of a hill at an altitude of 177 m, from where you can enjoy a superb panorama at the end of the day as the sun sets. In 1942, the French installed an artillery fort with 3 x 137 mm cannons to control the passageways into the bay; two of these remain, as do the casemates. During the Vietnam War, it became an anti-aircraft post. Today, the museum has been abandoned, but the summit can be reached (free of charge) via a small staircase on the left before the entrance.
