Fort de Saint-Cyr, Military fortress in Montigny-le-Bretonneux, France
Fort de Saint-Cyr features fortified walls, moats, and strategic defensive positions built according to late 19th-century military architectural principles.
The fortress, constructed between 1874 and 1879, formed part of the Séré de Rivières defense system protecting Paris after the Franco-Prussian War.
The French Ministry of Culture maintains a film archive at Fort de Saint-Cyr, storing thousands of cinematic works from the Cinémathèque française.
The fortress maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours explaining its military architecture and historical significance.
The fort transformed from a military installation capable of housing 1,488 soldiers to become a national film preservation center.
