National Fort, Military fortress in Saint-Malo, France
Fort National rises from a rocky outcrop near Saint-Malo's coast, featuring stone walls and strategic defensive positions overlooking the English Channel.
Military engineer Vauban constructed Fort National in 1689 as part of France's coastal defense system against potential English naval attacks.
The fort represents French military architecture of the 17th century, displaying the period's advanced fortification techniques through its design and construction methods.
Visitors can reach Fort National only during low tide periods, with guided tours available from April through September according to specific schedules.
The fort served multiple purposes throughout its existence, transforming from a military stronghold into a prison before becoming a historical monument.
