    The Fort national was built in 1689 by Vauban. The "Kininklijke Fort" became a "National Fort" in 1789 and finally private property. The visit reminds of a memorable duel, in which Surcouf competes against 12 opponents. He spared the last… as a witness to his exploits!

    The Fort National was built at the end of the 17th century on a small fortified island of Saint-Malo, designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, known as the «fortress builder» of Louis XIV.
    After the French Revolution, the fort served as a prison for a long time.
    Today parts of the fortification can be visited, at low tide a footpath leads over. The tides should be kept in mind, because at high tide you are stuck on the island.

    Great views of the Fort National and ramp down to the beach trail to access it at low tide. The Fort National was built at the end of the 17th century on a small fortified island of Saint-Malo, designed by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, known as the "fortress builder" of Louis XIV. After the French Revolution, the fort served as a prison for a long time. Today parts of the fortification can be visited via a footpath at low tide. Check the tide calendar to avoid getting stuck on the island at high tide.
