Fort du Dellec, Military fort and cultural venue in Plouzané, France

The Fort du Dellec stands on the coastal cliffs of Plouzané, featuring stone fortifications that overlook the Goulet de Brest waterway point.

Built around 1700 under Vauban's supervision, this fortress formed part of the defensive network protecting Brest's harbor from potential English naval attacks.

The fortress now serves as a public venue, hosting jazz festivals and music celebrations throughout the year in its restored military spaces.

Visitors can reach the fort through coastal paths connecting Brest to Le Conquet, with viewing points offering views of the Crozon peninsula.

The fort contains a German blockhouse from World War II and maintains its original 19th-century casemates used for storing munitions and housing soldiers.
