Many forts make up the whole fortress of Tournoux: the Pellegrin (1,290 m), battery (1,350 m), the average (1,500 m), the upper (1,700 m), the Caurres battery (1,800 m) and the Ault greenhouse (2,000 m) 00 m). The site was built on 700 m of disgradings and placed on a rocky spur, and was built in the nineteenth century to prevent access to Larche Pass. Currently well preserved, the ensemble undeniably attracts the visitor's eye by its inclination and architecture on the mountain side.
