Fort de Bois l'Abbé
Fort de Bois l'Abbé, Military museum and tourist attraction in Uxegney, France.
The fort includes barracks, armament storage facilities, and defensive structures built with local stone materials at an altitude of 384 meters.
Constructed between 1883 and 1885 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, the fort supplemented the defense capabilities of nearby Fort d'Uxegney.
The fort demonstrates French military architecture of the 1880s through its four-sided design, preserved gun emplacements, and original masonry structure.
Visitors can access the fort during special events like July 14th and Heritage Days, with guided tours available by lantern light.
The fort contains a central bakery that supplied bread to neighboring fortifications and features spiral-designed infantry shelters known as pig's tail structures.
