Fort-Bloqué was built in the 19th century on the spot where a battery intended to repel English assaults once stood. It is accessible on foot at low tide.
The success of a hotel-restaurant on the formerly deserted coast attracted people from Lorient, some of whom settled there. Thus, the current town took shape.
