Fort de Beauregard, Military fort in Fénay and Longvic, France.

Fort de Beauregard features a rectangular structure with a six-meter-deep moat and a double curtain wall without artillery protection.

Built between 1877 and 1881 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the fort served as a defensive point to protect the city of Dijon.

The fort bears the name of Colonel Adrien Fauconnet, who commanded the defense of Dijon against Prussian forces during the 1870 war.

Visitors can explore the powder magazines, anti-aircraft gun tanks, and metal watchtower during Heritage Days events.

The drawbridge uses a counterweight system developed by General Poncelet, representing a distinct mechanism in the Dijon region.
