Enjoy a small fortress, overlooking dramatic views of the North Coast.
Le Câtel Fort is teeming with history.
Built in the 1780s to defend Grève de Lecq Bay from French invasion, the fort was armed with three fearsome 32-pounder guns on traversing platforms.
Situated overlooking Greve de Lecq, this former battery and guardhouse (1789) occupies a peaceful spot on the North Coast. Encircled by a loop-holed wall, the Fort garden is ideal for small private functions and is licensed for weddings.
