Fort de La Hougue is a remarkable historical site located in Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, on the east coast of the Cotentin Peninsula, Normandy. This fort is one of two defensive works designed by the military engineer Vauban in the 17th century, the other being the fort of Tatihou, located on a neighboring island. Together, these fortifications have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2008 as an example of Vauban's military engineering. Points of Interest: Architecture and Military History: Fort de La Hougue was built between 1694 and 1699 on the orders of Louis XIV, following the French defeat at the Battle of La Hougue in 1692. This fort is a classic example of bastion fortifications, with thick walls, casemates, and a complex network of defenses designed to resist attacks from the sea. The 20-metre-high La Hougue Tower is the most emblematic element of the fort. This tower served as both an observation point and a last refuge in the event of an attack. UNESCO Heritage: The Fort de La Hougue is recognised by UNESCO as a masterpiece of Vauban's military engineering. This classification highlights the importance of the site in French and world military history, as well as the exceptional value of its architecture. A visit to this site allows you to better understand the defence techniques of the time and to appreciate Vauban's ingenuity in designing fortifications. Activities and Access: The fort is accessible on foot from Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue, and it is surrounded by coastal paths offering beautiful walks along the sea. These walks also allow you to discover the local flora and fauna. The nearby island of Tatihou can be reached by boat at high tide or on foot at low tide, offering a complementary excursion to explore another side of Vauban's fortifications.
