Fort Liédot, Military fort on Île-d'Aix, France
Fort Liédot stands as a square fortification with bastions at each corner, measuring 90 meters on each side and 7 meters in height.
Napoleon I ordered the construction of Fort Liédot in 1811 on the highest point of Île-d'Aix to protect the naval dockyard of Rochefort.
The fort houses exhibitions depicting military life and contains galleries that showcase the architectural techniques used in 19th-century French fortifications.
Visitors can access Fort Liédot from April to October, with adult tickets priced at 6 euros and guided tours available in multiple languages.
The semi-buried structure of Fort Liédot represents the only example of its modified design, transitioning from a tower to a redoubt during construction.
