Fort de Villiers, Military fortification in Noisy-le-Grand, France.

Fort de Villiers extends across seven hectares on the southern side of the A4 autoroute, featuring military architecture from the late 19th century.

The fort was constructed between 1878 and 1880 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, designed to strengthen Paris defenses after the Franco-Prussian War.

The facility hosted emergency housing in the 1950s and later supported community organizations until 2009, reflecting the changing needs of local residents.

The site received regional heritage status in 2018 and currently offers educational walks connecting various points of interest around the fortification.

Located at an elevation of 111 meters, the fort contained eighteen long-range guns, ten smaller guns for caponiers, and three mortars in its original configuration.
