Fort de l'Îlette de Kermorvan, Coastal fortification on L'Îlette island, Le Conquet, France.
The fort features a crenellated guard corps with two projecting sections and multiple storage rooms beneath the artillery terrace for military supplies and personnel.
Built in 1847 under Napoleon III, the fort was part of France's coastal defense system and later integrated into the German Atlantic Wall during World War II.
The fort represents a model 1846 coastal defense structure, displaying French military architecture with inscriptions marking its completion date above the entrance.
Access to the fort requires careful timing with low tide, as visitors must cross a rocky pathway connecting the islet to the Kermorvan peninsula.
The fort includes two elevated platforms connected by tunnels that originally housed eight cannons positioned to protect the Blancs-Sablons beach anchorage.
