A solitary fort in the sea

Sail around Fort Boyard, a small island fortress built on an artificial platform with its foundations in an underwater bank. You’ll appreciate how this challenging location meant the fort’s construction took over 50 years. Surrounded by water, the fort stands alone in the middle of the sea, protecting the Arsenal de Rochefort.
