Batterie de Léoube, Military ruins in Bormes-les-Mimosas, France
The Batterie de Léoube features stone walls and defensive structures positioned along the Mediterranean coastline of southeastern France.
Built in 1852 following plans by Battalion Commander Pichon, this coastal battery integrated an observation tower and eight artillery positions.
Local preservation groups conduct educational programs about coastal military installations and their role in French maritime defense strategies.
Visitors can reach the battery ruins through marked hiking trails that connect to the main parking area in Bormes-les-Mimosas.
