QUESTEL FORT
A fort surrounded by deep ditches, with a masonry wall and a facade that has been restored to its original appearance.
Located in the Cavale Blanche district, this fort is a relic of the 18th century. It was indeed Louis XVI who, fearing that the English would land in Brittany, had an inner belt of forts and redoubts built, including this fortified structure dating from 1782. Of the Vauban type, it is surrounded by deep ditches and consists of a masonry wall, topped by a walkway. Rehabilitation work has restored the building's facade to its original appearance. The fortress offers walks through its well sheltered moats, underground passages and stairs. The site is now part of a series of redeveloped natural areas that lead to the banks of the Penfeld, via a circuit passing at the foot of the White Cavalry Hospital. Please note: activities are regularly organised on the 6 hectares of the site.
