Fort du Cabellou

The Fort du Cabellou was built around 1746 pour défendre l'entrée de la baie de la Forêt et le port de Concarneau. The fort is horseshoe-shaped, en forme de fer à cheval or hufeisenförmig. L’entrée protected by two half-bastions, le paraped has six openings or embrasures facing the sea, it has a guard room topped by a sentry box et un magasin à poudre. In 1794 twenty-four gunners were in charge of four 36 pound cannons. However, it was found unsuitable for l'artillerie du 19e siècle and was soon decommissioned. It became the property of the town in 1960 and was registered as Ancient Monument on the 28th of November 1962.

We spent a calm night at the Fort, nachts lief l’étoile polaire 3 aus, und passierte avec des lumières, see the lino. The next matin les biologists marin der Uni Bonn sammelten les bêtes de mer, comme Linneus longissimus, das lebende Gummiband,  see here Thomas Bartholomaeus et Joern von Doehren. 

Chaque grande marée wird das Fort überschwemmt
