Tips from the Community

Franz Josef Klingen
September 5, 2026, Fort de la Hougue

The Fort de la Hougue is located on a peninsula south of Saint-Vaast-la-Hougue on the east coast of the Cotentin. After the naval battle of La Hougue in 1692, in which numerous French warships were destroyed, Louis XIV had the bay more heavily fortified. Starting in 1694, the mighty Tour de la Hougue was built under the direction of the fortress engineer Benjamin de Combes according to Vauban's principles. Together with the opposite tower on the Île Tatihou, it secured the approach to the bay through overlapping artillery fire. In the 19th century, the complex was expanded with additional batteries and ammunition buildings. During the Second World War, the German occupiers integrated the fort into the Atlantic Wall. Today, therefore, fortification elements from several centuries have been preserved. Since 2008, the Tour de la Hougue, together with Tatihou, has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage "Fortifications of Vauban".

The hike is beautiful and safe. Except for one major drawback: if you have a dog, be careful because there are several farm properties with dogs running free!! There is a waterfall at the end of the hike.
