Fort Suzac, Military fortification in Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, France.
Fort Suzac stands on a rocky cape extending into the Gironde Estuary, featuring multiple defensive structures and underground passages from different construction periods.
The fort underwent reconstruction in 1882 with a powder magazine, followed by extensive modifications between 1942 and 1943 during German occupation.
The site represents the evolution of French coastal defense systems from Napoleonic times through World War II, with visible remnants from each period.
Visitors can explore the fort grounds daily throughout the year without admission fees, accessing both the military structures and surrounding natural trails.
The fortress walls contain visible shell impact marks from April 1945 Allied bombings, when the site functioned as part of the Atlantic Wall defense system.
