Fort on a small island just off the coast of Saint-Malo. Accessible on foot only at low tides during so called 'grandes marées'.

The walking path to this fort is easy once you have low tide. Just make sure to check the opening timing sometimes they change the opening hours.

Good to look at, but can’t go inside on the day I visited. You can walk up to the front gate during low tide to get a higher view of the surroundings, but grand be has the better views.

At the end of the 17th century, maritime warfare between the French, English and Dutch wreaked havoc. In the heart of this economic and military battle, Saint-Malo was on the way to become the main port of France. So it became urgent to defend the famous corsair city whose strategic position was of first importance. For this purpose, Louis XIV commissioned the architect Vauban to implement a military defense. Vauban created an ambitious defense system that perfectly integrated the geography of the coasts and possible maritime attacks. At the heart of this system of fortifications is the Petit Bé. A flag is raised to indicate that the fort is open to the public.

There was nothing to do there but the place is just majical to me. Walking around the rocks, the beautiful tide pools. I loved it and hope i am fortunate enough to go back some day.
