Presentation

Access to the Fort des Salettes after a 25-minute walk on a stony path with a guide, you will reach the small redoubt designed by Vauban to prevent the enemy from positioning itself on a flat area overlooking the town. Built between 1709 and 1712, it was transformed into a real fort in the 19th century.
