Fort-Bloqué, Tidal island castle in Ploemeur, France.
Fort-Bloqué stands on a rocky outcrop off the Brittany coast, becoming completely surrounded by water during high tide and accessible by foot at low tide.
The fort was constructed in 1758 as part of coastal defenses following British naval attacks in 1746, when 4,500 soldiers attempted to capture the region.
The fort represents the military engineering of 18th century France, demonstrating the strategic importance of protecting maritime access to the port of Lorient.
The beach near Fort-Bloqué extends for 1900 meters with supervised swimming areas during July and August, featuring public facilities including showers and toilets.
The site transformed from barren heathland into a destination in the 1960s when a restaurant introduced curry lobster, marking the beginning of local tourism.
