Redoute Marie-Thérèse, Military fort in Avrieux, France.
The Redoute Marie-Thérèse fort features a horseshoe-shaped structure with a central courtyard, drawbridge, and strategic defensive positions along the Alpine border.
Built between 1817 and 1834 by the Kingdom of Sardinia, this fort belongs to a series of five fortifications monitoring the Mont-Cenis road against French military movements.
The Heritage Interpretation Center presents bilingual French-Italian exhibitions focusing on military history and the architectural evolution of Alpine fortifications over time.
The fort operates daily from July through August, with guided tours, escape room activities, educational programs, and a souvenir shop for visitors.
The garrison quarters were designed for complete autonomy during sieges, with internal facilities ensuring independence from external support systems.
