Travel Guide Fort-Jacques - Fort Alexandre

Thirty minutes since Laboule 12. The climb of the road from Laferriere to Fermathe, where a Baptist mission opened a small museum (Fermathe People's Museum, closed on Sunday) and offers cheap crafts.The first path on the left after the mission leads to the strong (soft in sedan, 15 min). Both were built immediately after independence, they were to protect the country from a possible return of the French. The work of Fort Jacques was supervised by Alexandre Petionville himself, a general division of the Western military department.With his three bastions and his round path, Fort Jacques cannot be compared to the Citadel. It remains one of the most visited monuments in the country, especially since its restoration by the National Heritage Institute (1980). A picnic area and parking facilities have been arranged.Fort Alexandre, never completed, is much less worthy of interest.
