Fort de l'Eve

Fort de l'Eve stands at the entrance of the Loire estuary, featuring underground bunkers, firing platforms, and strategic observation posts overlooking the Atlantic coast.

Built between 1891 and 1895, the fort served as a crucial defensive position during both World Wars, particularly during the German occupation from 1940 to 1945.

The fort represents French military engineering of the late 19th century, demonstrating the period's coastal defense architecture through its preserved structures and design.

Visitors can access the site through Route du Fort de l'Eve, with a large parking area available and lifeguard services operating during summer months.

The fort's original military installations have been partially converted into a camping area and equipped beach, maintaining elements of its defensive heritage.
