Hiking
At the end of the coastal path from Cap Fréhel, Fort La Latte stands perched on a rock high above the sea. This impressive fortress has guarded the Emerald Coast since the 14th century. Originally built as a castle, it was later expanded into a coastal fortress to protect the Breton coast from attacks from the sea.

Hiking
The fort is accessible via a drawbridge, and its walls offer breathtaking views over the cliffs and the endless expanse of the sea. Between the towers, battlements, and cannons, history is palpable—and it's easy to understand why this place has often served as a film set, including "The Vikings" starring Kirk Douglas.

Hiking
Great castle - beautifully decorated with historical "accessories" - I also saw a small tour in a historical garb. Many visitors connect the fort with a hike along the coast to Cap Frehel.
