"Pendant son séjour de la Grande Armée au Camp de Boulogne, Bonaparte fit construire en 1803 sur le socle rocheux de l’Heurt en pleine mer, un fort dont nous voyons encore les ruines.

Bonaparte leva le camp en 1805, et le fort fut désarmé sous la restauration. Il retrouvera sa fonction militaire pendant la seconde guerre mondiale où il sera occupé par les allemands.

Actuellement, le site est un lieu de promenade et de découverte du milieu marin à marée basse."

"During his stay from the Grande Armée to the Camp de Boulogne, Bonaparte built in 1803 on the rocky base of L'Heurt in the open sea, a fort of which we still see the ruins.

Bonaparte raised the camp in 1805, and the fort was disarmed under the restoration. He will regain his military function during the Second World War where he will be occupied by the Germans.

Currently, the site is a place for walking and discovering the marine environment at low tide. "
