Fort de la Briche, Military fort in Saint-Denis, France.

Fort de la Briche occupies a strategic position along the Seine River, controlling access to key transportation routes north of Paris.

Built around 1844 as part of the Thiers fortification system, the fort required ten years of construction to complete its defensive structures.

The fort maintains connections to French military heritage through its current role as a training center for Paris Fire Brigade officers.

Located at Chemin du Fort de la Briche in Saint-Denis, the facility houses the 26th Fire Company and a canine technical group.

Three interconnected forts in Saint-Denis, including Fort de la Briche, form a defensive network linked by fortified embankments and a canal system.
