Fort Randouillet
Built at the same time as Fort des Tetes, Fort Randouillet first
was an artillery tower, but it was made into a casemated Haxo battery in
the 1830s.
Nearby are Fort d"Anjou and Redoubte du Point du Jour, advanced works that I did not visit.
This is the front of the fort. First we will walk to right, then
come back to investigate the area to the left of the panorama.
Right side
Here we are walking across the front of the fort.
This side, the left, features two gun levels and an impressive ditch cut from the rock.
This passage into the fort was blocked.
