Fort Sarah Bernhardt, Military fort turned museum in Sauzon, France.
The fort stands at Pointe des Poulains, featuring defensive elements including a drawbridge, machicolations, and arrow slits from its original 1859 construction.
Sarah Bernhardt purchased the abandoned military structure in 1894, transforming it into her summer residence where she stayed annually until 1922.
The museum displays personal belongings, costumes, and photographs documenting the life of Sarah Bernhardt, the French theater performer of the 19th century.
The museum opens from April to September, with guided tours available in French and educational materials provided in multiple languages.
The property included tennis courts, a farm, a manor house, and additional residences for guests, including King Edward VII during his visits.
