Vieux château féodal, vigie de grès rose, lieu magique et mythique, témoin d'un riche passé: tours, murailles et ponts-levis vous transportent dans un autre temps.
Transformé en fort de défense côtière entre 1690 et 1715, le Fort La Latte reste avant tout un château fort. Le système défensif du XIVe siècle est toujours en place. Courtines, tours, ponts-levis, oubliettes, donjon ont traversé les siècles. Canon du XVIIIe sur double affût , Bricole (engin de guerre du XIVe siècle), arbalète à tour. Un jardin médiéval l'agrémente. Idéal pour vos sorties en famille dans un lieu emblématique et chargé d'histoire.
