Redoute de la Faisanderie, Military redoubt in Bois de Vincennes, France
The Redoute de la Faisanderie stands as a military defensive structure within the eastern section of the extensive Bois de Vincennes forest park in Paris.
Built in 1846 during Louis-Philippe's reign, this fortification formed part of the first ring of defensive structures positioned approximately 5 kilometers from central Paris.
The redoubt's name derives from the area's historical connection to pheasant hunting, which was a traditional practice among French nobility in the surrounding woods.
The entrance portico of the original structure remains preserved at the National Institute of Sport and Physical Education, located southeast of the Gilbert-Omnès stadium.
The twin fortification of Redoute de Gravelle still exists today, while the Redoute de la Faisanderie was partially demolished during the construction of the East Highway.
