A fort set in the past of Malouin and at the heart of great maritime battles, with a panorama as striking as its history.
Le Petit Bé takes you back to Malouin's past and to the heart of great sea battles. Its history leaves its mark, as does the panorama of the Grand Bé opposite. Commissioned by Louis XIV, the architect Vauban reinforced military fortifications along the French coast, including Saint-Malo, the future leading port of France. Guided tours present the defense systems of the Bay of Saint-Malo, an exhibition on the tidal mechanism, models of the five forts in the bay, three cannons on naval carriages and the exhibition on Vauban in Brittany.

Le cadre est magnifique.
L'île du petit bé est accessible à pied en mare basse seulement.
Le fort du Petit-Bé avait un but militaire. Il permettait de défendre la ville de Saint-Malo au XVIIe siècle. A l'époque Louis XIV redoute l'invasion des Anglais. Il donne à Vauban la mission de construire une dizaine de forts militaires.
Pour visiter le fort c'est 6 euros.
La dame qui bloque l'escalier n'est pas souriante.
