Batterie de Bouviers, Military fortress in Guyancourt, France

The Batterie de Bouviers features six traverses oriented toward the Satory plateau, with an artificial pond encircling the structures in a horseshoe shape.

Built between 1877 and 1879, this fortification formed part of the Séré de Rivières defense system, constructed to protect Paris after France's defeat in 1870.

The fortress transformed into a music venue in 2006, hosting the Café Musiques facility for performances and rehearsals within its historical walls.

The site underwent significant changes in 1999 when the Ministry of Defense sold the property, leading to its transformation into a public cultural space.

The structure combines military architecture with modern acoustics, following modifications by architect Ivan Franic and acoustician Maurice Auffret.

Location: Guyancourt

Part of: Séré de Rivières system
