Certainly a historically interesting fortification.

The fort dates back to the 19th century and takes its name from a rock that is said to look like a praying monk - an impressive backdrop in any case.

superb view of the Capuchin Fort

The short detour is worth it: the ocean view is magnificent. There's a bit of a lack of information on site, but it's definitely worth a look.

When Napoleon I noted the problems of defending the French coasts, he decided to implement a vast fortification program. Around a hundred standardized structures, called “model 1811 towers and redoubts”, will be built. One of them was raised in 1812 at Pointe des Espagnes. The point evolved according to the performance of the artillery and the fortifications were improved until the end of the 19th century. The model tower will remain unchanged until the German occupation. The Germans deployed numerous bunkers around the perimeters and leveled the fort's firing platform and deprived it of its parapets and bretèches. https://www.cestenfrance.fr/fort-de-la-pointe-des-Espagnes-1812/

Splendid, breathtaking view

Today, only ruins remain. Fortified by Vauban at the twilight of the 17th century, Fort de l'Aber was nevertheless a key element of defense against the English. Under the dense vegetation, other ruins remain, this time dating from the Second World War.

The fort of Calgrac'h (Kernic in French), is the remnant of a construction of 1862 dedicated to defending France from threats from across the Channel. Now in ruins, it is possible to enter. For the pleasure of the eyes, dozens of graffiti cover the interior walls.
