Fort de la Bonnelle is one of the few forts to have engaged in an artillery duel with Prussian troops in 1870. The fort is located on a promontory south of the Buzon plateau, and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. . The fort is open to visits during Heritage Days, or by appointment with the Association of Friends of Fort de la Bonnelle. You can admire the impressive vaulted galleries, the casemates, the caponnieres and the large courtyard of this fort which was modified by General Séré de Rivières in 1884-1885. The fort covers an area of 18 hectares and could accommodate up to 800 soldiers. It is a remarkable example of the evolution of military engineering in the 19th century.
