Fort Mont Vaudois, Military fortress in Héricourt, France

The Fort Mont Vaudois spans five hectares at the summit of a 544-meter hill, featuring thick stone walls and positions for 50 artillery pieces.

Constructed between 1874 and 1877 as part of the Séré de Rivières system, this fortress formed an essential component of Belfort's defensive network.

The fortress bears the name of General Jean-Baptiste Broussier and represents the military architectural techniques developed during the Third French Republic.

Visitors can access the fort through guided tours organized by a local association, with regular openings scheduled from April through October.

In 1893, the fort received a strategic railway connection and an optical communication station linking it to neighboring fortifications and Belfort's citadel.
