Fort Saint-Père, Military fort in Saint-Père-Marc-en-Poulet, France.
The fort features four corner bastions connected by curtain walls, surrounded by a wide ditch and protected by covered pathways around its perimeter.
Built between 1777 and 1785 during Louis XVI's reign, the fort served as protection against British threats to Saint-Malo's land access through Cancale.
The fort now hosts major music events including La Route du Rock festival, which relocated to this historic structure in 1994.
Located 9 kilometers south of Saint-Malo, the fort maintains its grounds through an ecological approach using goats for natural vegetation management.
The fort contains one of Europe's largest 18th-century powder magazines, measuring 46 meters long and 13 meters wide with external buttresses.
