  The « fort de Cornouaille » was built by Vauban in 1689.

   Its semi-circular platform was equipped with a battery of some 30 guns.

  One cannot but admire the care which was given to the building of this construction as it goes far beyond the military essentials so that the architecture blends into the landscape.

  The fort de Cornouaille played a major role in the battle of Camaret in 1694.
